Outside, after a night of tension, Eunuch Yang and the others finally breathed a sigh of relief—the thunder hadn't struck after all. Could it be that Liang Qiuyu had volunteered?

I don’t know who was gossiping, but the news of Liang Qiuyu’s return spread to the streets early in the morning.

"Have you heard? Liang Qiuyu, the talented woman from Liangjiazhuang, went back last night to beg the tyrant emperor to favor her!"

"She has no choice. Either she becomes a man's plaything, or she moves away and marries an honest man. She knows everyone in the village, so who would dare to marry her?"

"That's right. If it were me, I would rather cry in the deep palace than laugh in the mud." Big sister, may I ask, are you also a time traveler?

The most worried were Liang Qiuyu's parents. They stayed outside the palace all night - because when they were looking for their daughter last night, someone told them that their daughter had entered the palace.

Liang Erhu was there too. He was sad the whole night.

He will be sixteen next year, why can't he marry Sister Qiuyu? They have the same ancestors. Sister Qiuyu's family is an outsider, having moved here when he was a child.

Why is Sister Qiuyu so stupid and falls into the trap?

When Jia Shidao learned about this, he was so angry that he wanted to smash everything in the house.

He knew that Liang Qiuyu was still a virgin. That night, Liang Qiuyu had just showered when thunder struck...

Dog tyrant!!!

"Come here, pass the order down, hurry up and work!"

"Yes, sir!"

At this moment, Baili Tang was brushing his teeth and washing his face. The maids wanted to serve him, but he refused. If he didn't do it himself, he would really turn into a fat pig who couldn't take care of himself.

Liang Qiuyu also got up, and she didn't need anyone to serve her.

After breakfast, Baili Tang thought of taking a walk in the fields to see Liang Qiuyu's "masterpiece." Liang Qiuyu was immediately delighted. After all, she was just a simple farm girl, and she couldn't hide her thoughts.

However, this matter was strongly opposed by a group of people led by Eunuch Yang.

"You can either come and protect me, or stay here."

Baili Tang finished speaking, reaching out for Liang Qiuyu's hand, pulling her out of the room. He did this simply to tell everyone that he doted on this woman and didn't care if she was a damned girl.

Except for yesterday, Liang Qiuyu had never had any physical contact with Pang Hai, let alone held hands.

Now, in front of everyone, the man holding her hand is worth a fortune... Last night, I wrote such a beautiful poem for her.

How can I not be moved?

"Yuer Yuer... This humble woman pays respect to His Majesty..."

Seeing their daughter come out, Liang Qiuyu's parents and Liang Erhu hurriedly knelt down.

"No need to be polite."

"Mom and Dad, you..." Liang Qiuyu couldn't help but feel guilty about her behavior. Mom and Dad and Erhu must have been worried about her all night last night, right?

I can only blame myself for being so hot-headed at that time!

"My daughter is fine, you don't have to worry about her."

How could they not be concerned? If this man were a wise ruler, they would have already slaughtered pigs and sheep to celebrate, but this man is a tyrant. After a few days, he will be fed up with you. Your life is completely ruined.

What should I do?

It must be that bastard Pang Hai who said something to Qiuyu yesterday.

Where are the people from Panghai?

So he fled overnight!

The capital of Jing State has a population of over one million. There are about twenty other countries with a population of over half a million.

Xiyun County has over 20,000 households, with an average of five people per household, making it considered an upper-middle-class household.

But Xiyun County is a famous rice-growing county. It is located in a fertile area with many good fields and few small hills.

Xiyun County is located on the highest ground, and even though the surrounding villages are often flooded every year, the city is not flooded. The county town is built on a high slope.

Liangjiazhuang, a suburban village not far east of the county, sits next to Pangjiazhuang. The two villages are of similar size, each with over a hundred households. In comparison, Liangjiazhuang is more prosperous.

After walking for several miles, Baili Tang, who was usually used to riding in a sedan chair, felt a little exhausted.

Baili Tang's body, just like the country of Jing, looks "rich" on the surface, but has actually been "hollowed out" for a long time.

He had to stop under a big tree by the roadside to cool off.

These days, it's been hot and humid every day, but it hasn't rained. But Baili Tang analyzed that the rainy day is not far away.

It’s embarrassing to say that Eunuch Yang’s physical strength is actually stronger than Baili Tang’s.

How strange.

Two imperial doctors, the accompanying adults, the guards... the emperor appeared in a grand procession.

Thousands of soldiers also spread out in all directions to protect Baili Tang's safety.

A dozen miles away, in a dense forest, a few suspicious-looking people were sneaking around, seemingly planning something.

"Miss, let's go back so that our Lord won't worry!"

"Stop talking. This young lady will take the tyrant emperor's head today! If you are afraid, you can return immediately to report to Father!"

"Miss, let's not even mention the thousands of elite soldiers surrounding the tyrant emperor. We're no match for even the dozens of first-class guards who are as powerful as ten of them. Not to mention the many second- and third-class guards. This tyrant emperor has brought all the highly skilled guards from the palace with him."

"You can outsmart them!"

"My dear Miss, if the tyrant emperor finds out, he will send you to the military camp to serve as a soldier who has not bathed for several months..."

"Shut your dog mouth! Do you believe that I will poison and silence you all right now?"

Even so, the woman who called herself "Miss" hesitated. If the plan wasn't well-thought-out and fell into the hands of a tyrant, she would be in a state worse than death.

Let’s stop for today.

Baili Tang saw half-ripe lychees not far away, which further confirmed his guess that this place was a subtropical region.
