Fuxi Hall.

A man ran into the yard in a panic and shouted: "Master Mao, Master Mao..."

Hearing the commotion, Mao Xiaofang walked out of the main hall, followed by Qin Yao, Athena, and two apprentices.

"What's the matter, Dahai?"

Dahai's face was full of anxiety and he said quickly: "Master Mao, the vanguard army has arrested people. They have arrested all the gentry and celebrities in the town and locked them up in the military camp."

Just as he was talking, a group of people burst in shouting and talking about who and what was being taken away.

"Folks, calm down." Mao Xiaofang raised his hands, waved them constantly, and said loudly: "I will take you to the military camp to understand the situation..."

Seeing that he was willing to take care of this matter, the people present quickly calmed down and followed him silently, holding torches, and quickly arrived outside the military camp.

"stop!"

At the entrance of the military camp, twelve soldiers held muskets in their hands, aiming at the long line of figures.

"We want to see Commander Chen." Mao Xiaofang said.

"Commander Chen told me that no more than two people can enter." A soldier shouted.

Mao Xiaofang frowned slightly and subconsciously turned to look at Qin Yao.

Qin Yao nodded slightly, stepped forward, and said to the soldiers: "Get out of the way."

"We are acting under orders, please..."

"Ugh."

Before he could finish his words, Qin Yao snatched the musket from his hand, hit him hard in the face with the butt of the gun, and shouted at the others: "Get out of here!"

The remaining eleven soldiers raised their guns and pointed them at Qin Yao, but no one dared to fire the first shot without an order from the top.

"Let it go, let it go." At this time, Adjutant Chen, who saw that the situation was not good, ran back quickly and waved his arms.

"Snapped."

Qin Yao threw the musket onto the soldiers on the ground and led Mao Xiaofang and a group of people into the military camp.

Inside the military camp.

On wooden platform.

Nearly twenty officials and squires, including the mayor of this town, were kneeling on the stage at gunpoint.

Behind them, Commander Chen was sitting on a chair, holding a pistol in his right hand and looking up at the person coming.

With a thought in his mind, Qin Yao silently opened his eyes, and soon saw an illusory figure in the tent behind Commander Chen.

But what disappointed him was that even after inspecting the entire military camp, there was no trace of Ci Xi. He didn't know whether the old witch was afraid of death, or had underestimated them, or maybe both!
