Chapter 320 If I Die
Just as Cao Mengyun had said before, the entire Hong Mansion was indeed surrounded.
But just as the man named Ah Gui guessed, with Chu San and Chun Que around, it would not be difficult for them to escape from the Hong Mansion.
After coming out of Hong Mansion, Zhou Yunshu and her group ran towards the inn under the leadership of Chunque.
One is in East City and the other is at the gate of South City. The distance between them is not really close.
Although there has been no curfew in Nanchuan City since it was occupied by Geng Jiang, the people of Nanchuan City are very conscious of locking themselves in their homes during the day, not to mention at night.
Apart from the dim lights, the entire Nanchuan City was pitch black.
The worst thing was that Geng Jiang was night blind, and in the end, Chu San dragged him by the scruff of the neck and ran towards the inn.
Zhou Yunshu and her group ran back as fast as they could, but before they could get back, a fire broke out at the inn.
"Yun Shu." Wu Gui's voice trembled.
"Go and have a look."
Zhou Yunshu would not give up until she saw the bodies of Meng Nan and the others. Moreover, Zhou Yunshu did not believe that Meng Nan and the others would be killed so easily by Cao Mengyun and his group.
Not to mention that Kang Jingyu has always been by their side. If Kang Jingyu died...
Zhou Yunshu and her group ran over. There were already people around the inn putting out the fire. In addition to the nearby residents, there were also owners and waiters from the surrounding shops.
"What a sin! The bandits haven't left yet, and something's happening in the city again!"
"I think it might be those bandits who did it, otherwise why would they choose to set fire to our largest inn?"
"Let's save them quickly. It seems that Manager Xu and his men haven't come out yet!"
Zhou Yunshu and her group listened to the voices of the people around them and asked, "Did anyone escape from the inn?"
"I don't know. The inn was already on fire when we came out."
The man looked at Zhou Yunshu and her group and asked, "Why, are you from this inn?"
"No, we rented the small courtyard before Geng Jiang came. It's not far from here."
"Alas, you're lucky you're renting a small courtyard. Let me tell you, this isn't the first time the Hong family's inn has caught fire. I think it's really weird."
Zhou Yunshu thought of what Chunque had said before and frowned as she looked at the fire in the inn that was almost out of cover.
"Third Uncle..."
Before Zhou Yunshu could finish her words, someone suddenly shouted from the north of the inn, "Two people have been rescued here!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Zhou Yunshu watched Wu Gui rush out from in front of her.
Zhou Yunshu followed closely behind Wu Gui, watching him rush into the crowd in a hurry. Before she could squat down to see who was being rescued from the fire, Zhou Yunshu saw Kang Jingyu, whose life or death was unknown, grabbing Wu Gui's arm.
"Hahaha, I was just talking about my eyes..."
Before Kang Jingyu could finish his words to show off to Wu Gui that his eyesight had improved, he was hugged by Wu Gui.
"You're okay, you're not dead, it's not you!"
Kang Jingyu stood there with his hands open in a daze.
"I was so scared!"
Kang Jingyu listened to Wu Gui's frightened and trembling voice in front of him, and his astonished eyes slowly turned into the water in the hot spring.
The corners of his mouth lifted unconsciously, and he looked down at Wu Gui with gentle eyes, "I'm fine, don't worry."
As soon as Kang Jingyu said "I'm fine", Wu Gui realized that his behavior was inappropriate and immediately pushed Kang Jingyu away.
Kang Jingyu, who was pushed away, was not disappointed. He lowered his head and smiled at Wu Gui with a curved eyebrow: "Thank you for worrying about me. I'm fine, and they are fine too."
As he spoke, Kang Jingyu leaned over to Wu Gui's ear and whispered, "The fire in the inn was set by that kid Meng Nan."
He dared not let the people around him hear this, otherwise they would be arrested as accomplices of the bandits.
Wu Gui clenched her still trembling hands, suddenly confused by the realization of emotions that shouldn't exist.
Reason took over her mind again, and Wu Gui just wanted to slap herself twice. How could she do such a thing? Such a red apricot...
She got divorced.
This sentence suddenly flashed through Wu Gui's mind. She was divorced, and her behavior just now could only be considered inappropriate, not infidelity.
"Where are the others?"
Seeing Wu Gui distracted, Zhou Yunshu stepped forward, held her hand and asked Kang Jingyu.
"Wan Zhong, Jing Gao and the others have gone looking for you. We agreed to meet in the alley behind the inn regardless of whether we find you or not."
"Then let's retreat first."
She was afraid that if she stayed here for too long, Cao Mengyun and his gang would surprise her.
When Zhou Yunshu and her group arrived at the alley behind the inn, Geng Jiang, who had been silent the whole time, suddenly said, "I want to go back to the county government office."
He covered his wound and said to Zhou Yunshu: "Seventh brother, I want to go back to the county government office."
"Although Cao Mengyun betrayed me, I don't believe my other brothers also betrayed me. They are not that kind of people."
Looking at Geng Jiang's determined expression, Zhou Yunshu wanted to say that Geng Jiang's trust was not worthy of her trust.
"Seventh brother, I gathered my people bit by bit. We are brothers who have shared life and death together. They will not betray me."
Zhou Yunshu looked at Geng Jiang mercilessly and said, "You said the same thing about Cao Mengyun before."
"Besides, if you go back now, how can you guarantee that you won't fall into a trap? Maybe Cao Mengyun is waiting for you at the gate of the government office right now."
Geng Jiang's throat moved as he spoke, "He didn't find me at the Hong residence. He said I was stupid, saying I definitely wouldn't be able to figure out he was a traitor. So I... just pretended I didn't find out."
He looked at Zhou Yunshu and said, "Even if he is waiting for me, I will pretend not to know. As long as my brothers and I gather together, we will have a way to fight back."
"I admit that I, Geng Daniu, am not a good person, but I am not a beast enough to commit massacre and arson. I will certainly not allow Cao Mengyun to commit massacre and arson in my name."
"If this is the case, I will never be able to wash away my guilt even if I go to the eighteen levels of hell after I die. I will really be reincarnated as an animal in my next life."
Zhou Yunshu looked at Geng Jiang, remained silent for a moment, and said to Chu San beside her: "Uncle San, follow Geng Jiang and I back to the county government office."
"Master, I too..." Chunque said quickly when she saw that Zhou Yunshu didn't mention her.
"Chun Que, you stay with Wu Gui."
Wu Gui shook her head. Zhou Yunshu was more important. "No, Chunque doesn't need to protect me."
"Yes, I'm here. I'll take care of her." Kang Jingyu immediately volunteered.
"Okay, with fewer people, we can run faster. After you meet up with Meng Nan and the others, if we haven't gathered in the alley behind you in an hour, and you haven't seen the county government office on fire, then you must find a way to leave Nanchuan and retreat to the Summer Palace."
"Let's go together!" Wu Gui grabbed Zhou Yunshu's hand.
Zhou Yunshu shook her head. "Believe me, with Third Uncle here, they can't keep me."
Seeing Chu San nod, Wu Gui let go of Zhou Yunshu's hand. Indeed, if they followed, they would only hold Zhou Yunshu back.
"We'll listen to you."
Zhou Yunshu smiled and said, "Wait for me."
