Looking at the study door that was opened and then closed again, Lou Hongda slumped down on a chair. He felt as if his soul had been taken away in an instant, and he was extremely confused.
What should we do?
Now the entire Eastern Kingdom, with a million soldiers and horses, is in the hands of Queen Rong. What can he do?
But he was also unhappy about being threatened by a woman like Chaoge!
But who is Yun Chaoge? How could she say that?
In Anlou City, in the backyard of the Anlou Gate Hall of the Beggars' Sect, Dongfang Yexuan slowly opened his eyes and looked at the neat yet simple house, frowning slightly.
Bai Sangang, who had been standing by, saw him open his eyes and hurried over.
In fact, as a hall master who is above ten thousand people, Bai Sangang has no need to guard here in person, but this is someone brought by his own gang leader himself, so he is even more worried.
"My Lord, you finally woke up."
Hearing this new name, Dongfang Yexuan frowned slightly and glanced sideways at Bai Sangang beside him.
But when he saw the well-behaved young man, wearing brocade clothes with patches on his body, he became even more confused.
"Who are you?"
Dongfang Yexuan remembered that Chaoge took him and Gao Huan to a cave. It seemed that the Queen's men had searched to the foot of the mountain. Then Chaoge said he would take them away.
He actually had no memory of what happened afterwards.
Looking at Bai Sangang in front of him, Dongfang Yexuan's heart was filled with alarm. His identity had fallen to this point, and he couldn't help but worry.
"Master, don't be nervous. This is the Beggars' Sect. A girl has sent him on a mission. Let us, the Beggars' Sect, protect you temporarily."
"Girl? But a very pretty girl, tall and thin?"
Good looking?
Is their boss good looking?
Bai Sangang was thinking about Chaoge's face, which was always wearing a mask whenever it appeared, and he didn't know either.
But people in the gang spread rumors that the leader was a disfigured woman who wore a mask. Although his father said that the leader was not disfigured but did it on purpose, he seemed to have never seen the true face of his leader.
Looking at Dongfang Yexuan's expectant eyes, Bai Sangang nodded, "It is indeed the tall and thin girl. The girl said that the master should stay here and not go anywhere. She will go to take care of some things. After that, she will come to pick up the master in person."
"You are from the Beggars' Sect? No wonder..."
As the king of a country, he sometimes sleeps in a cave and sometimes is taken in by the Beggars' Sect. Just thinking about it, Dongfang Yexuan's face felt hot.
If he hadn't been worried about his grandson, how could he have had the willpower to persist until now? I'm afraid he would have died half a month ago.
But Dongfang Yexuan never expected that Chaoge would actually bring him to the Beggars' Sect in the martial arts world.
"Where is this?"
"Anlou City."
As soon as Bai Sangang finished speaking, there was obviously a hint of surprise in Dongfang Yexuan's eyes.
Anlou City was more than a thousand miles away from the capital. How many days had he been unconscious? How did Chaoge bring her safely to such a far place?
"By the way, the girl only let me go. Is there no one else?"
"Yes, he is next door. It is already night. He came to see you just now. The girl said that you are still very weak. I am worried, so I have to watch over you with my own eyes."
Feeling Bai Sangang's kindness, Dongfang Yexuan also breathed a sigh of relief.
"Are you friends with that girl?"
Bai Sangang.......
"No, she hired us."
Seeing that Bai Sangang was not a talkative person and answered whatever he asked, Dongfang Yexuan simply didn't waste any more words.
The next day, Chaoge got up early. As soon as she opened the door, the housekeeper of the City Lord's Mansion was already waiting at the door and bowed to her respectfully.
When he raised his head, he was subconsciously stunned by Yun Chaoge in front of him. When her familiar voice sounded in his ears, the butler calmed down and smiled awkwardly.
"Doctor Yun, our city lord is already waiting for you in the front yard."
"good."
Chaoge turned around and picked up a medicine box. She was wearing men's clothes today, with thick eyebrows, deliberately painted her fair and transparent face with a layer of black, and stuck on a mustache.
If the butler had not known that Chaoge was the only one living in this house, and that the voice that just answered him was indeed Chaoge's, he would have thought that a real man appeared in front of him.
"Doctor Yun's attire almost made me unable to recognize him."
"That's good. I'm just afraid it's too fake and someone will see through it."
When we arrived at the front yard, the entire city lord's mansion was still shrouded in darkness, and the carriage to the military camp had already been prepared in the front yard.
"This city lord rides a horse, Doctor Yun will take the carriage."
Seeing Chaoge, who was dressed as a man, appear in front of him, Lou Hongda would have been a little afraid to recognize her if Chaoge hadn't clasped her fists and spoken first.
"Don't bother too much, just give me a horse. My identity today is a military doctor that City Lord Lou has found."
Seeing Chaoge was so tactful, Lou Hongda felt relieved.
On this day, the city gates were naturally closed, but the city lord was coming in person, and the soldiers on guard had already learned the news and were here to welcome him.
The military camp was only five miles away from the main city of Anlou. In less than two quarters of an hour, they arrived at the gate of the military camp on horseback.
With Lou Hongda, it is naturally unimpeded to enter the military camp.
This time, Lou Hongda placed Chaoge in a tent and then left to count the troops.
Chaoge's wood-based skills can cover a range of 800 meters. Before he could see Lou Hongda inspecting his troops, he saw a man in armor handing a secret letter to Lou Hongda.
Just as Lou Hongda was about to open it, the man in armor grabbed his hand.
"His Highness the Southern King said that we will dismantle it after the 50,000-strong army reaches the border."
"The Southern King is already at the border?"
This was what Chaoge had asked Lou Hongda to ask before. Seeing that Lou Hongda really kept his promise, Chaoge felt relieved about him.
"Once the City Lord arrives, he will know."
"General Huang is so distrustful, so why should I listen to you? If His Majesty blames me, I will be beheaded for the crime of privately mobilizing troops."
Seeing Lou Hongda like this, the man in armor curled his lips and smiled, but the smile did not reach his eyes.
"I believe that Lord Lou is a smart man. He should be very clear about the current situation in the capital. Since he has already chosen to send troops, why is there any need to be so fussy?"
"I'm not being long-winded. I haven't even seen the King of the South, and now I can't even find out where the King of the South is. How can I dare to take such a risk?"
Lou Hongda was stubborn and General Huang had obviously lost his patience.
