The gate of the government office was closed, and the entire yard was filled with men in black holding sharp blades. Each of them had a solemn expression and stared at Chu Chen and Lu Yanluo who were surrounded in the middle.

Chu Chen looked around vigilantly and said very quickly: "Sister-in-law, I will try to entangle these people later. You seize the opportunity to escape. Don't look back, go directly to Tianque Pass to find my brother!"

"No!" Lu Yanluo refused without thinking. How could she leave Chu Chen alone?

"I won't leave. I'm your sister-in-law. You have to listen to me. Your brother is in Tianque Pass. Wang Jiyang will not kill me easily out of consideration for your brother. Go away!"

Wang Jiyang, who was standing aside, clapped his hands and said maliciously: "Tsk, tsk, tsk, you really have deep feelings and loyalty. Since neither of you wants to abandon each other, why don't you all stay here!"

"Wang Jiyang, you dare!" Chu Chen said angrily.

Wang Jiyang snorted nonchalantly and slowly raised his hand to let the man in black take action.

Seeing this, Chu Chen and Lu Yanluo both tensed their expressions, leaned forward, and made a posture that could attack or defend.

At this critical moment, a deafening crash suddenly came from the gate of the government office behind him.

Wang Jiyang was stunned and looked towards the direction of the door, and the second collision followed.

The sound of collision seemed to hit the hearts of everyone present, and everyone looked towards the direction of the door at the same time.

"Bang!" With the third sound of knocking on the door, the vermilion gate of the Tongzhou government office fell down, and a cloud of dust rose up the moment it fell to the ground.

A group of soldiers in armor and with firm steps trotted into the government office amid the smoke and dust. They did not stop and surrounded everyone present in an instant.

"Sister-in-law, it's..." Chu Chen looked at the soldier who came in excitedly. His emotions were so fluctuating that he even stuttered when he spoke.

Lu Yanluo seemed not to have heard Chu Chen's words. Her eyes stared blankly in the direction of the gate. In the blink of an eye, a tall figure slowly appeared in her eyes.

"It's brother! Sister-in-law, brother is here to save us!" Chu Chen turned and said to Lu Yanluo, but what caught his eyes was a pair of faces with tears in their eyelashes.

Yes, Chu Xuan is here, he is really here.

【Chu Xuan……】

Lu Yanluo silently repeated in her heart this name that made her heart soften whenever she thought of it, Chu Xuan.

He had lost weight, and the cold and hard iron armor on Chu Xuan's body seemed as if it would overwhelm him at any time. It was enough to show what kind of inhuman torture he had experienced in Tianque Pass during this period of time.

Lu Yanluo couldn't help but feel secretly distressed.

Chu Xuan heard his Ah Luo calling him. He looked past the crowd of people and glanced at Lu Yanluo with indescribable tenderness in his eyes.

Here I come, A Luo.

Chu Chen on the side looked at his brother, then at his sister-in-law, and suddenly felt that he was redundant. Having just experienced life and death, he couldn't help feeling a little aggrieved.

"Brother, I know you miss your sister-in-law, but please wait until you solve the current trouble. There's a knife in front of me!" Chu Chen stretched his neck and shouted.

Chu Xuan looked at Chu Chen after hearing this and snorted coldly: "You are useless."

Then, without waiting for Chu Xuan's order, the Cheng family army that came with Chu Xuan directly started fighting with Wang Jiyang's men.

The Cheng family army was well-trained and had great martial arts skills. It only took them a quarter of an hour to capture all of Wang Jiyang's men.

After dealing with all the annoying people, Chu Xuan finally walked up to Lu Yanluo step by step. The two of them looked at each other blankly, and smiled at each other after a long time. Lu Yanluo didn't care about anything else, and threw herself into Chu Xuan's arms, hugging her tightly.

Ever since she learned that Chu Xuan was in trouble, Lu Yanluo's heart finally settled down. The person in her arms had warmth and breathing, and was alive.

"Master, Wang Jiyang ran away in the chaos." When the deputy general was cleaning up the battlefield, he discovered that there was one person missing in the yard. Wang Jiyang was missing.

When the Cheng family army fought with the private guards in the yamen, Wang Jiyang knew that he had been defeated this time, and he quickly took advantage of the chaos to escape through the secret passage.

Chu Xuan had never thought of sparing Wang Jiyang's life since he entered Tongzhou. Upon hearing this, he immediately ordered, "Chase him, dead or alive, I want to see him in an hour."

Lu Yanluo suddenly remembered Wang Yueniang who brought them into the mansion, and stopped the deputy general who was about to leave.

"Wait, Wang Jiyang has a younger sister who is still in the mansion. If Wang Jiyang wants to leave, he will definitely take Wang Yueniang with him. Chu Chen, take people to look for Wang Yueniang immediately. Don't let her run away."

Chu Chen put away the smile on his face, turned around and left with his soldiers, heading straight for the backyard of the government office.

Only after everything was arranged did Lu Yanluo have the opportunity to say a few words to Chu Xuan.

"Why did you come to Tongzhou? Have the food and grass been transported to Tianque Pass? Has Shen He arrived?" The moment Lu Yanluo saw the Cheng family army, she guessed that it must be Shen He's people who had arrived.

If that is the case, the food must have arrived.

Sure enough, Chu Xuan nodded when he heard this and replied, "Yesterday Shen He led the Cheng family army to Tianque Pass."

When Shen He arrived, Tianque Pass had been out of food for three days. The deputy general beside Chu Xuan was afraid that he would starve, so he secretly saved some of his own rations and delivered them to Chu Xuan.

"Where does this food come from?" Chu Xuan picked up the water on the table and drank it all. Without food, he could only fill his hunger with water.

The adjutant blushed and said with embarrassment: "This is what I didn't finish. Your Majesty, please eat it quickly to fill your stomach. You haven't eaten for three days."

Chu Xuan's eyes instantly turned red. He raised his hand and patted the deputy general on the shoulder. After a long while, he comforted him, "I'm fine. You can take the food back and eat it yourself. Go."

"Marshal..." Days of hunger easily broke down this strong man. General Fu collapsed instantly and cried bitterly, "Marshal, are we going to be trapped here to death?"

Chu Xuan was silent for a moment, then shook his head and said firmly: "No, Shen He has already returned to Beijing to seek support. He should be back in the next few days. All we have to do is..."

"Marshal!" Before Chu Xuan finished his words, a shout suddenly came from outside the door. Chu Xuan was alerted and reflexively took down the sword hanging on the wall. He thought that the Tatuo people were attacking.

But after he went out with full caution, he saw Shen He, whom he had just mentioned.

Shen He was surrounded by soldiers with excited faces. This was the first time Chu Xuan saw everyone so happy since the Tianque Pass cut off the food supply.

Shen He saw Chu Xuan hurried over and knelt down: "Your Majesty, I have fulfilled your mission and returned with food!"

Chu Xuan saw the food and 150,000 Cheng family troops.

This means that Shen He had a smooth journey, but...

"Where is the princess?" Chu Xuan looked around. There was only Xiao Ran, and no sign of Lu Yanluo.
