Xu Qiudong said with a smile, "I just told her that you, my lord, are loyal to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and will rescue him before dawn tomorrow. You also specifically asked me to help His Royal Highness find life-saving medicine."

Zhuo Yuanyu felt unhappy when he heard her unreasonable words.

When I looked up, I saw that it was almost dawn and there was no time to delay.

Your Highness the Crown Prince has no time left.

Zhuo Yuanyu glanced at Xu Qiudong fiercely, called over his men and ordered them to proceed as planned.

"yes."

After a while, the Zhuo Mansion was engulfed in flames, and Zhuo Yuanyu looked at his study with heartache.

There were some expensive calligraphy and paintings inside. Although he was reluctant to part with them, in order to make Gong Hanfan believe, he still reluctantly let them be burned.

After a while, two of Zhuo Yuanyu's personal guards walked past them carrying a sack.

Zhuo Yuanyu nodded at them, then turned to Tai Sumeng and said, "You go out of the city with her."

"What about you?"

"I have to stay here and buy you some time."

"Is everything okay?" Tai Sumeng looked at him worriedly and asked.

After all, they have lived together for so many years. Even if there is no love, there is family affection.

"Don't worry, I'm fine." Zhuo Yuanyu shrugged playfully and said, "After all, I'm a victim too."

Tai Sumeng smiled and nodded.

He has been very smart since he was a child, so he will be fine this time.

After explaining everything to Tai Sumeng, Zhuo Yuanyu glanced at Xu Qiudong again and said, "Keep going west."

This is one of the benefits that Zhuo Yuanyu sold to Xu Qiudong.

I also hope that she can take good care of Tai Sumeng on the road.

Xu Qiudong looked up at him without saying anything, which meant he neither agreed nor refused.

Xu Qiudong took two steps, and just as Tai Sumeng was about to follow him, he was pulled out by Zhuo Yuanyu, who reminded Tai Sumeng again.

"Remember to listen to Xu Qiudong and take good care of yourself along the way."

Tai Sumeng was a little puzzled, "Why?"

The two people were incompatible just now, why did he want her to listen to Xu Qiudong now?

At this time, the sky was already getting light, and Zhuo Yuanyu didn't bother to say anything else. He could only let Tai Sumeng remember this sentence.

"Be careful on the road."

Now, no matter how stupid Tai Sumeng was, he could tell that something was wrong with Zhuo Yuanyu.

She wanted to pull Zhuo Yuanyu along, "Let's go together."

Zhuo Yuanyu could no longer leave. Once he left, a tight net would be waiting for them. But now that he is in the capital, he can at least relieve some of the pressure for them.

"I can't leave."

The two people are each other's only relatives. They are tied to each other, but now they are facing separation.

The two of them were talking back and forth, and Xu Qiudong had already walked to the backyard door, but they were still talking.

Xu Qiudong turned around impatiently and said, "Are you still leaving?"

Zhuo Yuanyu took advantage of this opportunity to persuade Tai Sumeng, "Hurry up and leave. It will be too late if you don't leave now. Remember, you must listen to Xu Qiudong and protect yourself well."

"Don't worry, I'm not without a trump card. Don't forget that I'm still a general with military power. I have so many soldiers under my command. If a fight really breaks out, who knows who will win?"

Tai Sumeng knew that Zhuo Yuanyu said this to let her leave with peace of mind, but Tai Sumeng knew Zhuo Yuanyu. Once he said this, it meant that he was bluffing.
