Chapter 374 Death News
Yuan Ziyu took Huo Twelve with him, and the two of them slept in the open air along the way. They changed horses every time they arrived at a post station. After more than half a month, they finally arrived at Harlan City.
Xuan Shaoqing brought Yinfeng and followed Yuan Ziyu and his servant all the way, escorting them secretly, but Yuan Ziyu was unaware of all this.
Before entering Harlan City, Yuan Ziyu saw many people hurriedly leaving Harlan City with their families.
"What's the situation in the city now?" Huo Shier hurriedly stopped a citizen and asked.
"We can't hold on any longer! We can't hold on any longer!" The civilian who was stopped by Huo Twelve said with a look of anxiety on his face, "Why are you still coming here? Run away! We can't stay here any longer! Our Dali Dynasty army is about to be defeated."
After saying that, he left in a hurry.
"Hey——" Huo Twelve wanted to stop the man and ask him in detail, but the man just ran away without even looking back.
"Twelve." Yuan Ziyou hurriedly called out to Huo Twelve: "No need to ask, let's go into the city."
"Yes, sir." Huo Twelve responded quickly and followed Yuan Ziyu into Harlan City.
Along the way, there were people leaving in a hurry, and the soldiers guarding the city gate all looked dejected.
When we entered the city, we saw that there were almost no shops open on the street, and even the inns were closed.
Yuan Ziyu took Huo Twelve on a tour of Harlan City. When they reached the south gate, they faintly heard someone outside the city shouting, "Don't be a coward if you have the guts. Come out and fight! Aren't you people from the Dali Dynasty very powerful? Why are you hiding away? Could it be that Huo Xifei is the only one with a son of a bitch in your Dynasty? It's a pity that he was killed by my eldest prince. Hahahahaha..."
When Yuan Ziyu heard this, his mind suddenly went blank. He could not hear anything and just stood there in a daze.
"Young Master." Huo Twelve had naturally heard those words. She opened her eyes wide in disbelief, tears about to flow out, but she quickly held them back. When she turned around, she found that Yuan Ziyu was not in a good state: "Young Master, did you hear me? Don't scare me!"
Huo Twelve hurriedly shook Yuan Ziyu's arm and looked at Yuan Ziyu's pale face worriedly.
Yuan Ziyu didn't say anything, just stood there in a daze, his face turning even paler.
"Young Master..." Huo Twelve was about to say something when a soldier came over and said, "Why are you standing here? Leave quickly. It's not safe here. Leave quickly."
Yuan Ziyu and Huo Twelve were dressed as civilians to make their journey easier. The soldier thought they were from the city and were going the wrong way to escape Harlan. "If you want to leave, go through the north gate. This is not an option."
"Excuse me," Huo Twelve asked the soldier hurriedly, "What do those people outside the city mean by what they said?"
Hearing Huo Twelve's question, the soldier's face darkened. "Hurry up and leave! I told you, but you still don't understand. Run as far away as you can."
"Well." Huo Twelve pondered for a moment and asked, "I vaguely remember that our general's surname is Jian. How...how come I just heard that person mention the surname Huo? Where is General Jian?"
Speaking of Jian Changzhi, the soldier's face was filled with resentment: "Don't mention that guy surnamed Jian, he's basically a spy from the Chile. If it weren't for Master Huo coming, we wouldn't have been able to find this spy. All these officers and soldiers of our Dali Dynasty were almost ruined by that spy. It's a pity that Master Huo... Master Huo..."
As the soldier spoke, a look of sadness appeared on his face.
"Master Huo? Master Huo has really already... already..." Huo Twelve's heart was trembling, and he couldn't say the rest of the words no matter what.
"You don't know?" The soldier suddenly became alert. "You are not from Haran?"
"We came here to look for our relatives, but we didn't find them." Huo Twelve said hurriedly, "We are the people of the Dali Dynasty, and we came from Hangzhou City."
"I guess your relatives have already left. You should leave quickly too. This is not a place to stay for long." The soldier sighed and didn't want to say more. He waved his hand and asked Huo Twelve to leave quickly.
Seeing that he could not get anything out of him, Huo Shier nodded to the soldier and pulled the still stunned Yuan Ziyu towards the city.
When they were far away from the South Gate and reached a secluded place, Huo Twelve called out to Yuan Ziyu in a low voice: "Second Miss, Second Miss."
After a long while, Yuan Ziyu finally moved his eyes, looked at Huo Twelve and asked, "Twelve, what I just heard wasn't true, was it?"
"Second Miss, just now..." Huo Shier didn't know what to say for a moment. Yuan Ziyu's condition was really not right, but judging from what the soldier had just said, the prince might really have...
Huo Twelve could no longer hold back the tears that were bursting out of his eyes.
Yuan Ziyou understood everything when she saw Huo Twelve's expression, but she didn't want to believe it. She took two steps back involuntarily, lowered her eyes, and slowly shook her head, saying, "No, no, I don't believe it. I don't believe he's dead. He said... He said he wouldn't let anything happen to him. He wouldn't lie to me."
"She wouldn't lie to me, right?" Yuan Ziyou grabbed Huo Twelve's arms, trying to get Huo Twelve to give him some confidence: "Twelve, don't you think so?"
Seeing Yuan Ziyu like this, Huo Twelve couldn't help but feel distressed and choked up, "Second Miss, please don't be like this."
"He said he wouldn't lie to me, so he won't lie to me." Yuan Ziyu said softly, "Yes, Pingshan, find Pingshan. Where is Pingshan?"
"Pingshan..." Huo Twelve murmured, and hurriedly said, "I think Pingshan should be in the government office. Oh, and Huo San and Huo Si, Second Miss, let's go to the government office to take a look, okay?"
"Let's go to the government office." Yuan Ziyu was unwilling to believe that Huo Xifei was dead. She wanted to find Pingshan and ask what happened. Maybe Huo Xifei was just seriously injured. She had the Qiongjiang Pavilion and the spiritual spring water. As long as Huo Xifei was still alive, she could save him.
Yuan Ziyu cheered up and went to the government office of the prefect of Harlan City with Huo Twelve. Huo Twelve showed his badge and soon, soldiers came out and led Yuan Ziyu and Huo Twelve in.
Watching Yuan Ziyu and Huo Shier enter the government office, Xuan Shaoqing brought Yinfeng and came over from the corner not far away.
"Prince." Yin Feng called out softly, "Could it be that Prince Huo really is..."
Xuan Shaoqing sighed. He had also heard what the enemy had just said when challenging him outside the South City Gate.
He also couldn't believe that Huo Xifei would die in battle so easily, but seeing that no one refuted the man's words, it was probably true.
Xuan Shaoqing's mood was a bit complicated now, including shock, regret, and even a hint of secret joy.
However, he was not sure whether he was suitable to appear in front of Yuan Ziyu...
