While Zuo You was hurrying towards the main palace gate, Yu Xiaoxiao left the palace and went directly to the North City, where she found the boss and his gang squatting on the street.
"Hasn't he seen the prince consort?" The boss said anxiously when he saw Yu Xiaoxiao.
Yu Xiaoxiao looked at the way these brothers were dressed. They were all wearing rags, with soot smeared on their faces. Er Gouzi even had some grass stuck on his head. Anyone who knew them would think they were fleeing, while someone who didn't know them would think they were a group of Beggars' Sect disciples.
The eldest boss saw that he had finished speaking and his princess did not respond, so he waved his hand in front of Yu Xiaoxiao's eyes.
Yu Xiao: "Xiao Gu can't possibly run as fast as me."
The eldest master said, "Is the matter in the palace over?"
"It's over," Yu Xiaoxiao nodded and said, "My dad is very angry."
The big bosses..., they can see the fire in the palace while squatting here. It would be a miracle if the emperor is happy, right?
The second in command took out a set of tattered clothes and handed them to Yu Xiaoxiao, saying, "Princess, would you like to change your clothes first?"
Yu Xiaoxiao took the clothes and was about to take off the clothes she was wearing.
The boss hurriedly shouted: "No, you are changing it in the street?"
Yu Xiao: "My little Gu is not here again."
The former pirates didn't understand what was said. In front of which man can you take off your clothes except in front of your husband?
The eldest master grabbed the clothes in Yu Xiaoxiao's hand with one hand, pointed at the wall behind them with the other hand, and said, "Ancestor, go to someone's house and find a place where no one is around to change."
The former pirates nodded to Yu Xiaoxiao together.
Seeing that his brothers all had the same idea, Yu Xiaoxiao had no choice but to climb over the wall and enter the house facing the street. Soldiers are trained to take off and put on clothes, and there is no fastest way. Yu Xiaoxiao, who is already familiar with the way of wearing clothes in this world, took no more than two minutes to change into this set of clothes. He squatted on the ground, grabbed a handful of dirt, smeared it on his face, put some small electric sparks on his hands, and made his hair into a fluffy afro. Yu Xiaoxiao appeared in front of the former pirates again.
When the eldest master saw his princess, he was startled and asked, "What's wrong with your hair?"
Yu Xiaoxiao touched her newly permed hair and said proudly, "How about this hairstyle?"
The boss thought this hairstyle looked like a ghost, but he didn't dare to tell the truth.
Er Gouzi still regarded Yu Xiaoxiao as a goddess and said, "She looks pretty."
Yu Xiao: "Want to be like me?"
Er Gouzi said excitedly: "Princess, can my hair be like this?"
Yu Xiaoxiao raised her hand and pressed on Ergouzi's head.
The bosses didn't see any sparks or anything, but they just smelled a burnt odor of hair. Then a miracle happened. Ergou's hair became the same as the princess'.
A family of people who wanted to escape to the city gate ran past Yu Xiaoxiao and the others. A little girl saw Yu Xiaoxiao and Er Gouzi, her eyes widened instantly, and her body softened and she fell to the ground.
"Why did she faint out of nowhere?" Yu Xiaoxiao asked the adults in the family.
The boss stood in front of Yu Xiaoxiao and Er Gouzi, blocking the two guys behind him. Is there any need to ask? I was scared by you two!
The youngest girl in the family fainted, but the family did not dare to stop. The father carried his little daughter on his back and ran towards the city gate.
"She's scared," the second in command said to Yu Xiao, "the little girl can't stand the scene tonight."
Fainted from fright, but this was not considered a disease for Yu Xiaoxiao, so Her Royal Highness the Princess started to busy herself with her own affairs, rolling up the clothes she had taken off and stuffing them into the bag that Ergouzi was carrying.
"The fire is on fire in the Minister of War's mansion!" A former pirate pointed in the direction of the Minister of War's mansion and shouted in a low voice.
Yu Xiaoxiao and the former pirates turned their heads to look. The flames in the mansion were growing rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye. In a blink of an eye, the night sky turned red.
As the fire broke out in the Minister of War's mansion, more and more people fled from their homes and headed for the city gates on the street.
“Murder!”
"There are rebels entering the city——"
…
Chaotic shouts echoed throughout the northern city of Fengjing. The shouts came from men and women, old and young. People cried and ran away. If they hadn't known this in advance, they would have thought it was a show. Yu Xiaoxiao and the big bosses would have thought that someone was really rebelling.
"I think we can't just stand here," the boss said to Yu Xiao after noticing another passerby looking at his group, "It doesn't look right for us to just stand here and not run.
Before Yu Xiaoxiao could say anything, the family living on the street behind them opened their door. The servants were guarding their master, and the whole family wanted to escape. They looked at Yu Xiaoxiao and the others.
"You, who are you?!" The middle-aged man who looked like a housekeeper looked at Yu Xiaoxiao and shouted sternly, "You are a bunch of beggars, get out of here!"
Yu Xiaoxiao said to the big boss: "Just now I felt that you guys looked like members of the Beggars' Sect."
The boss turned his head and looked at Yu Xiaoxiao, do you think you don’t look like a member of the Beggars’ Sect anymore when you look like this?
"Make way?" asked the second in command.
"Why don't you get out of the way?!" the butler shouted again.
Yu Xiao: “Let me.” She came to see Xiao Gu off, not to cause trouble.
Xiao Wei was also dressed as a Beggar Gang disciple at this time. He followed the fleeing crowd and ran to a group of people. When he saw the owner of the house standing at the gate, Xiao Wei was stunned.
The owner of the house was walking between two security guards. He didn't even look at Yu Xiaoxiao and her group of "beggars" and just kept urging his family to leave quickly.
The servants drove four horse-drawn carriages over, and all the women in the family got on them.
Xiao Wei ran up to Yu Xiaoxiao and whispered, "He is Hong Shi from the Ministry of Revenue."
Yu Xiao: "I don't know him."
Xiao Wei whispered, "He is on the family tree of the previous dynasty."
Boss..., they have a true connection with the Temple of Eternal Life. Any family you pick to stand there can be a member of the Temple of Eternal Life!
"The things they brought were all valuables," Xiao Wei told Yu Xiao, "The boxes in the car didn't look like they were newly tied up. There were only three women and no children with them. The women and children must have been sent away in advance. This family had already made preparations."
A guard lashed the ground with a whip and shouted to Yu Xiaoxiao, "Get out of the way!"
The boss asked, "What should we do?"
Yu Xiaoxiao raised her foot and stomped on the ground, saying, "Everyone is running for their lives, and we are just standing there. We look like idiots."
The boss said, "Don't talk about your feelings, just talk about what to do first."
"Let's rob this family," Yu Xiaoxiao said with a sullen face.
The eldest boss lowered his head so that he could better hear Yu Xiaohua, "Are you serious?"
Yu Xiaoxiao raised her arm and howled, "Our country is about to be destroyed, what else do we need to eat? Let's rob him!"
While both the "enemy" and "us" were stunned, Yu Xiaoxiao rushed to the front of the carriage, hugged a wooden box, and refused to let go.
A dozen guards came with weapons ready to beat Yu Xiaoxiao.
"Hurry, go!" The boss called on his brothers to take action.
The street became even more chaotic.
