On the other side, Hu Laosan was complaining endlessly. Although he didn't have to fight, moving stones was still very tiring. Moreover, Hu Laosan knew very well that he was now a rebel. If this continued, wouldn't he die in the army?
He thought that life would get better after becoming a captain and general, but he never expected that Lin Xinping could pull off such a stunt.
Hu Laosan couldn't help but feel uneasy. If things continued like this, and if King Jingyang succeeded, he would be a loyal subject who had helped him rise to power.
But now that this is a place of rebellion, Hu Laosan simply doesn't believe that Ning Ye would do nothing.
In other words, his current boss has suddenly become the person he should attack. This is something that Hu Laosan really can't figure out. What's going on with this life?
These obstacles will eventually be cleared away completely, and when the two sides truly clash, there will be no chance of reversal.
Hu Laosan knew he couldn't hesitate any longer. Continuing to hesitate would not do him any good; on the contrary, the longer he stayed, the more dangerous it would be. It would be better to leave now, either to go back and find Ning Ye, or to cross over here and find the garrison general.
Hu Laosan knew that he had come out to take care of some business, and Ning Ye had helped him twice. If he simply went back like this, he would probably never be able to stand up straight again.
So it's obvious that there's only one option left: leave quietly and go find the garrison general. That way, there might still be a chance to salvage the situation.
As night fell, Hu Laosan quietly left the military camp, expecting everything to go smoothly. However, he didn't expect to bump into a woman as soon as he stepped out of his tent.
Upon seeing the woman, Hu Laosan immediately stopped in his tracks. He knew he might not be able to leave today, and he might not be able to leave again after returning home.
"General Hu, why are you out alone in the middle of the night?"
Hu Laosan, who was about to turn back, turned around somewhat awkwardly. "Hey, who do we have here? It's Miss Lin. I had a bit of an upset stomach tonight, so I had to go out. I just happened to run into you. I'm a little embarrassed."
Lin Ruxin persisted, saying, "Oh, really? If it were just a company, I don't think General Hu would be dressed so formally. I think he's planning to run away."
A dangerous glint flashed in Hu Laosan's eyes. He was already considering whether to kill Lin Ruxin directly. If he did so, he would likely face relentless pursuit from Lin Xinping.
Because Lin Ruxin in front of him was the only beloved daughter of General Lin, it was clear that General Lin's rebellious intentions had been brewing for a long time, otherwise he wouldn't have kept his family with him at all times, something that had never been noticed before.
Lin Ruxin deliberately took a few steps closer to Hu Laosan, "I know some people are dissatisfied with this matter. If you really want to, I won't stop you, but there's something I hope you can promise me."
Hu Laosan frowned. "Miss Lin, I am just a nobody with little influence. If you need my help, I don't think I'm the best person to ask. Perhaps you should try someone else."
"Only you can help me with this. No one else can. I want to leave with you."
Hu Laosan was filled with questions. What on earth was going on in this Miss Lin's head that she could say such a thing?
This is complete nonsense. If I were to actually take Miss Lin away, wouldn't I be offending that general to death?
Besides, why would this young lady want to leave with me?
“Miss Lin, I think you'd better stop joking with me here. Do you even know what your father’s actions represent? Besides, how can I possibly take you away?”
Lin Ruxin pointed outside the military camp and said, "If you want to go find that garrison general, I advise you to give up the idea as soon as possible, because you will die a terrible death. But if you want to enter Liangzhou, you can take me with you."
Hu Laosan now felt that Miss Lin in front of him must be crazy. If she wasn't crazy, she definitely wouldn't have said such things.
Hu Laosan suppressed the urge to complain and said, "Miss Lin, please come in first, let's talk slowly."
Lin Ruxin followed Hu Laosan into the tent without any hesitation, as if she wasn't afraid of what Hu Laosan might do.
Of course, Lin Ruxin was indeed confident that if Hu Laosan dared to do anything, he would experience a fate worse than death. Moreover, if something happened, it would be a pipe dream for him to leave.
Ever since Lin Ruxin started appearing in the military camp, Hu Laosan noticed that this young lady would occasionally come over and chat with him.
Previously, Hu Laosan thought that this young lady was simply interested in someone like him from a poor family, but now it seems that's not the case at all.
In their previous conversations, Hu Laosan had come to realize that Lin Ruxin was a restless young lady, or rather, unlike other well-bred ladies, she was rather quirky and mischievous.
But being restless is one thing, but when it reaches this point, it's not a good thing at all.
"Miss Lin, let me be frank with you. If you hadn't seen anything today, I could have let you leave unharmed, but that's not possible now."
Lin Ruxin sat on the table, swinging her long legs, and said nonchalantly, "I know you're quite skilled, but it's still a bit difficult to take me down directly, especially since there are quite a few people around you. Are you really going to make a move?"
Old Hu, who was already quite old, suddenly didn't know where to look. After all, Lin Ruxin's long legs were very alluring, and her skirt wasn't long either, so glimpses of her white skin could be seen from time to time.
If this were an ordinary young lady, she would probably be extremely embarrassed, but Lin Ruxin seemed completely unconcerned.
Hu Laosan covered his face and said, "Miss Lin, even if you want to tease someone, can you please find someone else to tease? I'm really not someone who can be teased easily."
"I don't care, I only have one request: you must take me away from here. I want to go out and see the world. If you don't agree, then I'll make sure you end up in jail."
