But no one paid any attention.

Luo Lingyu's expression remained unchanged, and she didn't even look at him. In her current condition, she didn't think she had the ability to save people. The girl, who was cold and selfish by nature, chose not to look at or ask about the poor young woman when she couldn't even save her own life.

The two men did not stop for a moment after hearing the crying. The young woman saw the two servants clearing the way, leading the young man and the young woman into an alley and disappeared in a blink of an eye. The young woman could not catch up with them, and her face showed panic and hatred. After the two men left, some northerners came to kill them. The young woman squatted in the corner of the wall, holding her head and crying, pointing in a direction and shouting: "Don't kill me, don't kill me! I just saw a peerless beauty, you go find her, kill her——"

The northern vanguard soldiers grinned like bandits, but their eyes were cold. They cut the woman's head with their knives, and blood flowed all over the ground. The northern vanguard soldiers killed people everywhere again, but this time they were heading in the direction the woman had pointed. Killing was the purpose, and the so-called "unparalleled beauty" also made people's hearts move.

"After entering the city, burning, killing, and looting are all fine!"

"You can have any beauty you want, no need to report it to your superiors!"

This was the promise given to these soldiers by their superiors before the attack on the city, and the Northern Army attacked the city more aggressively. Whoever enters the city first will get the resources in Ruyang first. The first batch of vanguards who entered the city blindly followed the words of their superiors. The evil of human nature revealed by the young woman before her death can be seen at this subtle moment.

With the help of his attendants, Fan Qingchen and his men found a shortcut to the south-facing city gate that was not guarded by the northerners. When they got closer, they saw a huge crowd of people in front of the city gate. The soldiers guarding the city shouted loudly to maintain order, but they only heard crying and shouting. Everyone wanted to escape from the city, and no one listened to what the soldiers said.

Fan Qingchen fixed his eyes, and tried to rush into the crowd, and came to a sweaty young general. Amid the noise of the crowd, Fan Qingchen reached into his pocket and took out his certificate: "I am the fourth son of the Fan family of Nanyang, and I am an old acquaintance of your governor. When I entered the city before, I reached a consensus with your governor that he should provide me with a carriage and escort me and my wife away from here——"

The young general heard this but refused to accept the letter. He said in embarrassment, "Please forgive me, sir! We can't protect ourselves and can't provide you with protection right now. Look, sir, so many people are rushing to leave the city. Why don't you join the queue?"

"Or, Sir, can you ask our governor to come?"

The governor of Ruyang must be fighting the enemy with the military commander stationed in the city at this time, so he has no time to care whether people leave the city or not. This young general is clearly trying to embarrass Fan Silang. Seeing such a handsome man like Fan Silang, he can tell at a glance that he is a young man from a noble family. A young man from a noble family came to ask for help from a small person like him at this time, which made him want to embarrass him for no reason.

Fan Qingchen was not a fool. He narrowed his eyes and took off a jade pendant from his waist. When his sleeves brushed against each other, he threw the jade pendant to the young general. The young general looked down and saw that the top-grade emerald green Lantian jade was something he could never earn in his lifetime. He was so happy that his face was full of smiles. The young general agreed readily and asked his colleagues to provide carriages and horses. Then he turned around and gave a sincere suggestion: "Look, my lord, there are too many people here. If I stop them and let you go, you can't leave with so many people watching."

Sure enough, when the subject of carriages and horses was mentioned, the ordinary people around him all looked over, and their eyes towards this noble young man were full of desire and greed.

Fan Qingchen cursed in his heart.

With a cold face, he gave out another jade pendant: "Prepare more carriages and horses and send them to them."

Looking at the people who were eager to escape from the city, Fan Silang smiled hypocritically: "There are four of us in total. We only need one cart and two horses. The rest can be provided to everyone."

The crowd immediately cheered: "Thank you for your care, my dear!"

"My dear, I will repay your kindness someday!"

Fan Qingchen was indifferent and did not need these people to repay him. He was now very upset. He wanted to attack the city like this. He did not know what the situation was like in other places. With the army approaching the city, would the situation between the North and the South change again? Would he not be able to take Luo Lingyu away from the South at this time? He was afraid that he could not leave at all and could not enter the North.

If he used the escape route his father had arranged for him, it would be tantamount to seeking his own death. The only solution now was for him to go south.

"My dear, my dear..." When Fan Silang was feeling upset, he heard the voice of a servant coming over to call him. He turned his head and was stunned when he saw the girl behind the servant.

It turned out that Luo Lingyu had smeared a lot of dust on her face in just a few moments. She didn't know what disguise she had done to her face. Her originally bright and beautiful face was now much darker, and her eyebrows, nose and lips were much more ordinary. At first glance, she looked like an ordinary woman with a dusty face, and she couldn't be seen as a beauty at all.

Fan Qingchen: "Who applied it?"

The two servants looked at Miss Luo together, and their meaning was self-evident.

Fan Qingchen chuckled and reached out to grab Luo Lingyu's wrist, who was slightly resisting: "Sister, I always admire your ability to deal with dangerous situations."

Luo Lingyu's face was as cold as ice. After she had a falling out with Fan Qingchen, she was too lazy to pretend at all. If it weren't for the two servants following her closely, she would have found an excuse to escape from Fan Qingchen while there were many people around. Now she only had a little dust on her face, but she still had to be tied to Fan Qingchen and even rely on this person's protection. Luo Lingyu was not in a good mood.

Fan Qingchen turned around, picked up a crying child, threw him into the girl's arms, and whispered, "Let's flee with these common people. It will be safer with their protection."

…

Corpses are everywhere, and the Northern Army is approaching the city of Ruyang!

Fan Qingchen and Luo Lingyu mixed in with the common people, got on the carriages sent by the young generals in the city, and fled southward. Common people could not ride horses, and the speed of oxen carts was far slower than that of horses. Fan Qingchen was unwilling to waste these horses, and was unwilling to condescend to ride in the same carriage with the poor. He simply gave the carriages to the common people, and rode the horses himself. Luo Lingyu was not good at riding horses, so she was forced to ride with Fan Qingchen, and she could not complain at the moment.

When fleeing in the cold, they could actually drive a car. It was the first time for most of the patrolling citizens to ride in such a car. The originally panic-stricken escape road gave them hope. A car was packed with as many people as possible, and the civilians sitting in the car couldn't help chatting on the way to escape.
