Outside Nanyang City, a battle had just ended, with broken limbs and swords scattered everywhere. The wilderness was filled with a murderous atmosphere and the smell of blood was everywhere.
"Report!"
A soldier came to the front of the tent and shouted.
"Come in."
Following the order, the soldiers went inside and reported the latest situation of Nanyang City truthfully.
The tent was filled with people, all of whom were leaders of various rebel armies.
Sitting in the main seat in the middle is a bold general with bright eyes and an upright posture.
After listening to the soldier's report, he stood up, picked up the bowl, and said loudly: "Great! Hahaha! Heroes, we have been fighting for over a month, and we will overthrow Daning tonight. This wine is for you all!"
"drink!!"
Everyone in the camp drank it all and responded loudly.
Before nightfall, inside a small tent.
"What do you think of this battle, my lord?" A man dressed as a scholar spoke.
The sturdy man donning his armor spoke calmly, "We will surely win this battle! Daning, you have committed many injustices and your destruction is imminent."
After saying this, he took his sword and walked out of the tent first.
That night, the gate on one side of Nanyang City was opened wide, and soldiers from all directions rushed in. The sound of swords and knives resounded throughout the city, and the imperial palace was reduced to ashes by a fire set by strong men.
Looking at the blazing fire, the man sitting on his horse recalled his relatives who died during the drought, and clenched his hands tightly while steering the horse.
"Dad, Mom, your unfilial son has avenged you. Rest in peace!"
…
The fire in the city burned up to the sky, and no one in the general's mansion could sleep.
Miao Yan knew that Shi Ziyuan had left a team of personal guards guarding the mansion, and no one would be able to attack for the time being.
She was also familiar with the general of this team of personal guards, the one who had been there before, Gan Er.
But seeing the young lady's growing belly, she completely lost her sleepiness and simply stayed outside the bedroom to watch.
The young lady was tormented by the baby in her belly and couldn't sleep even though she heard the faint sounds of fighting coming from outside.
Seeing Miao Yan sitting there blankly, a smile appeared on her beautiful face: "Miao Yan, you girl, don't sit here even if you can't sleep."
After saying that, he brought her a bed sheet and let her lie down, and the two of them chatted casually.
"Miao Yan, I went to Foguang Temple before and my grandmother asked the abbot to calculate my fortune for me."
"What did the host say?" Miao Yan asked curiously.
"Master Huihe said that I have a calamity in my life." The young lady sighed, "A calamity of death!"
Miaoyan turned over, thinking of the time when she had also encountered him in the courtyard, and comforted him: "Miss, don't worry. I also met Master Huihe in the temple. He said that I would also die."
Miao Yan laughed and said, "He also said that I had broken the deadly calamity and asked me how I did it."
The young lady turned over slightly and asked, "What did you say?"
"I said there was a severe drought that year and I almost starved to death. I met the young lady who saved me, so it's revealed." Miaoyu's tone was a little mischievous.
As the young lady listened, she suddenly remembered the saying, "Good deeds will bring good results."
She smiled and said, "Miao Yan, back then..."
Before he could finish his words, Miao Yan heard the sound of armor coming from outside, and he stood up and called the system.
"099, adjust the live broadcast view to the outside."
At the same time, he turned to the young lady and said, "Miss, I'll go outside and take a look."
Outside the door, a team of personal guards entered the inner courtyard without hesitation. Miao Yan saw this and knew that something big must have happened.
Gan Er saw Miao Yan coming forward and said, "Miss Miao Yan, things have changed. A group of rebel soldiers are coming. The general asked me to escort my wife and her family to evacuate as soon as possible."
Miao Yan didn't ask any more questions when he saw this. He nodded and said, "Wait a moment. Madam is in a serious condition. I'll go and clean up."
The livestream showed a massive crowd of soldiers surrounding the palace. Their faces showed signs of suppressed madness, their bodies covered in blood. They looked more like wild beasts than humans, and she didn't dare to look at them anymore.
Miaoyan woke up the young lady, packed the bag she had prepared just in case, and went next door to wake up Mother Chen and Shanhu.
Although they tried their best to be quick, the sounds of fighting and killing could be heard in the front yard of the mansion.
Gan Er: "Young Madam, let's go through the side door."
The young lady nodded, Miaoyan supported her, and Mother Chen and Shanhu followed with the packages. The group of people took care of the pregnant woman and did not walk very fast.
Just as they crossed the yard and walked to the backyard, a small team rushed out.
The two sides started fighting as soon as they met. Fortunately, those people were just scattered soldiers and could not defeat the royal guards, so a few people were left behind to hold them back. Miao Yan helped the young lady to the side door smoothly, and a royal guard stepped forward to open the door.
The side door is different from the main door. It is hidden and narrow, with only a vague outline in the night.
With a "click", the personal soldier opened the door and looked outside. Suddenly, a sound of breaking air was heard in the night.
The sharp arrow pierced the soldier's head, and in an instant the air was filled with the smell of blood.
"ah!!"
Mother Chen and Shanhu cried out in alarm, and Gan Er yelled, "Oh no! There's an ambush! Quickly protect Madam and retreat."
Miao Yan asked, "Are there any guards in the mansion?"
Gan Er retreated while shaking his head. Madam Wang also needed manpower to transfer. Originally, there was a team of thirty personal guards and fifty escorts in the mansion. The guards in the mansion were all tied up in the front yard, and the personal guards were divided into two sides for escort, so now there was no one left.
There was no other way, Miao Yan whispered in the young lady's ear: "Madam, let's take the secret passage."
The young lady nodded.
"Commander Gan, let's take the secret passage. We can't go through the back door." Miao Yan said to Gan Er next to him.
The secret route Miao Yan mentioned was the retreat route she had built when she was storing grain.
Due to the limited time, the secret passage could only reach the shop across the street, and the entrance was in the rockery by the garden pond.
The group changed direction and headed towards the garden, which was close to the front yard. From time to time, they encountered stragglers holding torches and killed them with one blow.
Although they tried their best to cover up, the group was still surrounded at a corner of a garden.
