Ever since entering the book, Mu Wanjun had already decided that their Mu family would not remain prisoners forever.

After meeting Shen Shuli's family, her idea became more firm.

"I also think this is a good opportunity. After all, Xue Bufan has been poisoned by me, so he has to obey me even for the sake of his own life."

A strange smile appeared on Mu Wanjun's face.

She had long wanted to punish Xue Bufan, but because of his status as a prisoner, she had been suppressing the idea.

"Well, but you have to be careful. He is very unruly. He might rather die than obey you, and even drag you down with him before he dies." Shen Shuli reminded.

"Don't worry, I know what's going on. I'll go call him over and ask him what he's going to do next."

Mu Wanjun came to Xue Bufan and said, "Commander Xue, I have something to tell you."

Xue Bufan frowned slightly and immediately became wary.

Don't think he didn't see that she had just had a secret conversation with that devilish girl from the Su family.

...

...

"What is it?"

Seeing that he had no intention of changing his position, Mu Wanjun simply sat on the ground and spoke loudly so that the prisoners around him could hear.

"The Yunzhou prefect is obviously targeting us prisoners, and he has sent us to such a dangerous place. It is obvious that he is ready to catch us all in one fell swoop."

"And the bailiffs who were escorting us are nowhere to be found."

"But we escaped, and those people will definitely tell the Yunzhou prefect about our escape."

"Don't you have anything to say about this?"

Xue Bufan didn't expect that the princess would come to him to discuss this matter.

How could he not feel resentful about this matter?

After all, the Yunzhou prefect had included him in the scheme.

If it weren’t for the Su family, he would probably have to mine for the rest of his life!

The more I think about it, the angrier I get.

"I haven't figured out how to solve this problem yet. The princess came to me, so you must have thought of a solution. Why not tell me about it?" Xue Bufan asked back.

He hasn't had time to calm down and think about how to deal with this matter.

The Yunzhou prefect was obviously fully prepared and was not afraid of exposing himself or the secrets in the barracks.

He had no way of sending the news here back to the capital.

And even if the message was sent back, the people in Yunzhou would have enough time to clean up the mess and destroy all evidence.

At that time he had no evidence whatsoever, it was a false accusation!

The most important thing.

The whereabouts of the fifty yamen runners in Yunzhou who were escorting exiled prisoners are unknown.

This is also a major hidden danger for him.

otherwise.

Why would the prefect of Yunzhou risk great disapproval and openly and ostentatiously host a banquet to entertain the Mu and Xie families?

From the moment the Mu family accepted Zhou Hao's arrangement, they had fallen into the trap set by the other party.

Zhou Hao has every reason to exonerate himself.

After all, Xue Bufan only has one mouth, how can he argue with fifty mouths of yamen runners?

What if the Yunzhou yamen runners turned around and accused him of colluding with the prisoners, intending to let them go, and plotting against the Yunzhou yamen runners?

At that time, would the master believe him or the evidence?

Mu Wanjun continued to put pressure on him.

"Even if we escape from the Yunzhou prefect and the barracks and successfully reach the next prefecture."

"How do you explain that none of the fifty yamen runners in Yunzhou who were escorting the exiled prisoners were here?"

"Even if you tell the truth, do you think the prefect over there will listen to your explanation?"

Upon hearing this, Xue Bufan looked at Mu Wanjun coldly.

Although there was no unnecessary expression on his face, he was already wishing to torture the Yunzhou prefect to death in his heart to vent his hatred.

Feeling that she had said enough, Mu Wanjun left after saying "think about it carefully"

All the prisoners heard Mu Wanjun's analysis.

The mood that had just relaxed suddenly became tense again.

These are the dangers they are about to face.

It was already bad luck that the emperor suddenly found an excuse to purge him and turned him into an exiled prisoner.

And this time, they clearly did nothing wrong, so why did they encounter such a thing?

It's really like yellow mud falling into my crotch. It's shit if not shit!

Rested for an hour.

The team set off again.

Shen Shuli told everyone about the sudden collapse of the cave at the entrance of the village.

Everyone knew that the pursuers behind them were temporarily trapped, so they didn't rush as hard.

As they hurried on their way, they dug up wild vegetables along the way to prepare for dinner.

Many prisoners were injured.

Mu Wanjun brought a few people to collect useful herbs.

Women who are good at handwork would also cut some grass along the way and weave backpacks for everyone to carry things.

.

Capital city.

As battle reports from Cangzhou Prefecture were sent back to the capital, the news that the Northern Barbarian army had invaded Cangzhou Prefecture could no longer be concealed.

It seemed like the news spread throughout the capital overnight!

Only then did the people of the whole city know that the Northern Barbarian Army had actually invaded Cangzhou Prefecture!

Officials below the third rank were also kept in the dark.

Seeing that the matter could no longer be concealed, the emperor had no choice but to ask the Ministry of Revenue to prepare military pay and send it to Cangzhou Prefecture.

But the news had spread, and the people of the whole city were in panic.

Some timid people have begun to flee the capital and head south to escape the war.

As news of the war spread, prices in the city continued to soar.

The capital city, which was once flourishing with flowers and looked like a fairy palace in heaven, also fell into the mortal world.

Family-oriented.

The Su family has been away from Beijing for nearly ten days.

In addition, news has spread recently that the Northern Barbarians have invaded Cangzhou Prefecture.

Gu Changfeng became more and more anxious.

These days he has been looking for an opportunity to discuss with his elder brother Gu Changyao, hoping to persuade him first, and then have him persuade his uncle, to take the Gu family out of the capital as soon as possible.

But Gu Changyao did not believe Gu Changfeng's groundless talk and thought that his cousin was crazy.

The Gu family was willing to accept the Gu family members from the ancestral home because there was indeed a drought in the north, and it was very serious.

This is something everyone knows, so the Gu family is willing to accept them.

But he didn't expect that his cousin was so crazy that he wanted the Gu family to move out of the capital and move south!

The Gu family had finally moved from the countryside to the capital and settled down there. How could they abandon their ancestral property and start over in the south just because of some unfounded rumors?

If my cousin isn’t crazy, then what is?

But today.

The news that the Northern Barbarian army had reached Cangzhou Prefecture was completely confirmed.

Gu Changyao's hands and feet were cold.

You have to know that he is a fourth-rank minister!

He already holds a high position of power in the capital, but he does not know such important news!

How terrible?!

After receiving the news, he immediately returned to the Gu family and called Gu Changfeng to his side for questioning.

"Changfeng, how did you know this news? When did you know it?" Gu Changyao asked with trembling lips.

"Brother, you finally believed what I said and now you feel anxious?" Gu Changfeng looked at his elder brother with mixed feelings.

He was not in a hurry at this moment.

Anyway, Cangzhou Prefecture will not be breached in a short period of time, and he has already prepared himself mentally for the past month and a half.

As steady as an old dog at this moment.

However, seeing that his eldest brother was so frightened that his face turned pale, he did not keep him in suspense and told him all the news he knew.

Gu Changfeng explained: "I got all the news from Brother Yunhai. If we were not lucky enough to meet the Su family who fled to the capital in advance, the Qinzhou Gu family would probably no longer exist."

"It's too much, it's really too much!" Gu Changyao picked up the teacup tremblingly, wanting to take a sip to calm his nerves.
