Because the matter was confidential, Qin Hao did not have time to say goodbye to Cheng Shaoshang. It was not until Cheng Shaoshang had an quarrel with Xiao Yuanyi that he followed his third uncle Cheng Zhi to Hua County to take up his post. Only then did he realize that Qin Hao had left the capital.

Cheng Shaoshang didn't know that Qin Hao had also gone to Shuzhong, and he was still a little depressed along the way. Sang Shunhua couldn't help teasing her: "Is this just because I miss you so much after not seeing each other for a few days?"

Cheng Shaoshang did not show any shyness at all, but said confidently: "Yes, one day is like three autumns after not seeing each other. After all, Ahao and I have not seen each other for many years. Shouldn't we miss you?"

Sang Shunhua was amused by her, smiled and pinched her cheek: "You, it's not easy to say this outside, you are shameless."

Cheng Shaoshang stuck out his tongue and leaned against Sang Shunhua: "I'm not that stupid anymore. I only told my third aunt."

After a long journey, the group finally arrived at the border of Qing County, but Cheng Zhi noticed something was wrong.

"The Magistrate of Qing County and I are old friends. We agreed to meet here again half a month ago. Even if he himself had something to do and couldn't come, he should have sent a servant to say something. And look at the toilet gate in Qing County in broad daylight.

Close it tightly, something big must have happened."

Cheng Zhi said and asked Cheng Shaoshang and Sang Shunhua to get in the car quickly and continue to Hua County, while he took two followers to Qing County to investigate the situation.

On the carriage, Cheng Shaoshang saw Sang Shunhua's worried face and couldn't help but curiously asked: "Since third aunt thought this trip was dangerous, why didn't she stop third uncle?"

Sang Shunhua shook his head gently: "A real man has things to do and things he doesn't do. If I stop him, if something happens to that good friend in the future, he will definitely regret it."

Cheng Shaoshang murmured: "Third aunt means that if you love someone, you have to fulfill him, even if you are worried about him, you can only endure it?"

"It's like this. Husband and wife are one body. If they can't empathize with each other, wouldn't they be in the same bed but in different dreams?" Sang Shunhua's eyes unconsciously drifted in the direction of Qing County.

Cheng Shaoshang shook his head and said firmly: "If it were me, I would go with him, and even if we die, we will die together."

Sang Shunhua gently stroked Cheng Shaoshang's cheek and said softly: "But if I go with him, he will be worried and inconvenient. If there is an accident, wouldn't it be too late to regret it?

"

Cheng Shaoshang suddenly opened the curtain and pointed at the accompanying female guards: "It would be great if I could be like them, so I wouldn't be a burden."

Sang Shunhua laughed and scolded: "What are you talking about? You are a little girl who is going to get married soon. How can you learn martial arts?"

Cheng Shaoshang said stubbornly: "Ahao is very skilled in martial arts. When the time comes, I will let her teach me."

While he was talking, suddenly, a shower of arrows shot from the woods, and the carriage was frightened and neighed.

"Enemy attack!"

The female guard sent by Xiao Yuanyi had followed her on the battlefield. She reacted quickly and found the enemy hidden in the woods in an instant.

More than twenty masked gangsters rushed over. However, they obviously underestimated the strength of these female guards. They suffered a heavy loss as soon as they fought, losing seven or eight people.

"Retreat!" The remaining masked gangsters tried to escape, but were chased by female guards on horseback and killed one by one.

After experiencing the initial panic, Cheng Shaoshang gradually calmed down and analyzed Sang Shunhua: "I stayed at the border with my father for a period of time. Judging from the skills and actions of these bandits, they are definitely not ordinary bandits. I'm afraid

We encountered rebels. These people are probably just early scouts. There may be large troops around, and our small manpower is simply not enough to resist them."

Sang Shunhua had just recovered and felt a sharp pain in his ankle. At this time, he could only hold back and ask: "Niao Niao, what should I do now is up to you."

Cheng Shaoshang asked the guards for a nearby map: "There is a forest farm nearby. There should be forest houses that can be used as support. We should be able to hold on for a while. We will send a few people to Qing County to ask for help, and the rest will go to the forest farm to wait for help."

"Everyone, please, if we can be rescued, the Cheng family will definitely be grateful for your kindness in the future. If something unfortunate happens, the Cheng family will also take care of your family records and will not let your blood be shed in vain!" Cheng Shaoshang rushed.

Several servants cupped their hands and said.

There were not many guards in the first place, so naturally they couldn't send them out anymore, so they could only hope that these servants could bring the news out.

"promise."

After the servants left, Cheng Shaoshang asked people to dump their belongings on the roadside. On the one hand, if these masked bandits were bandits, they would not chase after them after taking the money. On the other hand, if these masked bandits were really rebels, they would also

If you can arouse other people's ideas, you might be able to get the news out.

At the same time, Hua County was surrounded by a group of rebels outside the city. As the leader of the rebels, Fan Chang forced County Magistrate Cheng to open the city gate at the cost of the lives of the people, and even slaughtered them one by one in front of him.

County magistrate Cheng Lao knew that Fan Chang's ultimate goal was to assassinate Emperor Wen, so he led the Cheng family and the city's defenders to break out from all sides, causing chaos outside the city.

At this time, Qin Hao and Ling Buyi also received the report from the spies and quietly came to the vicinity of Hua County. They saw the flames outside the city of Hua County. Ling Buyi and Qin Hao knew that the rebels were taking action.

"Army attack!"
