Traveling through time and space to become a lady of a noble family, but she only wants to escape

In the pitch-black darkness, the dark-skinned elder sister touched Lin Chuqi's shoulder and patted him twice. "Chuqi, let's hurry back to the city to get help. I know Wei Fuguang is in Wu County. She's a high-ranking official now, so let's go and ask her for help!"

The bloody fist slowly moved away from the stone door. Lin Chuqi took a deep breath, exhaled heavily, shook off the dust on his hands, and said firmly: "Let's go back to the city."

The old lady took one person's hand in each and walked deeper into the tunnel according to her memory.

Outside the stone gate, Qiaoqiao finally relaxed after hearing the sound of them leaving, and slid down to the ground, leaning against the door.

An arrow suddenly pierced the wooden door of the land temple, with obvious bloodstains on it. Qiaoqiao was so scared that she shuddered.

Her head and face were soaked with water, and it was hard to tell if it was sweat or tears. Her braid was so wet that it stuck tightly to her neck. She scratched it subconsciously, feeling itchy, but was startled by her own shiny black braid.

"It's okay, it's okay, I'm lucky, nothing will happen..."

Qiaoqiao gritted her teeth, stuffed all her braids into the back of her collar, then stood up, stomped her feet, and walked resolutely towards the closed door.

In Wu County.

The common people who received the notice from the yamen runners were relatively obedient. With a numb look on their faces, they packed up their money and valuables and lined up at the city gate with their families. A few people, reluctant to see their property ruined, would grab the yamen runners and ask about the battle situation, but the runners could only shake their heads, their answers unclear. If they pressed the issue further, the runners would fly into a rage: "Shut up and pack up! We can't leave unless you leave!"

So he gave up his little land and left.

The East Gate was closest to the city, and therefore had the longest queue. Even at this moment, citizens leaving the city had to have their identities verified to prevent barbarians from taking advantage of the situation, so the queue was particularly slow.

Wei Fuguang was guarding the city gate tower, taking small steps back and forth, with the word "anxious" almost written on his forehead.

The driver hurried over and handed over a secret letter: "Miss, the letter from Lord Zheng has arrived."

Wei Fuguang tore open the envelope and read the letter. The worry on his face immediately disappeared. "The people of Wu County have been properly arranged for their future. Master Zheng has done a good job!"

The driver bowed his head and reminded: "Only the prince has not yet received a letter."

"No rush, it's still early. Has Baizhi arrived?"

"not yet."

"Why haven't you come yet?"

"He said he was going to pick up his brother and sister-in-law."

Wei Fuguang walked to the edge of the city wall, glanced down, raised his eyebrows and said, "Isn't this coming?"

The driver also came over and saw Lin Chuqi stumbling towards the city gate tower. The guards stepped forward to stop him, but Wei Fuguang waved his hand to send him away.

Lin Chuqi ran up covered in sweat and dust. Wei Fuguang naturally went to greet him, smiling and bowing deeply: "Young Master, what's the hurry? May I..."

Before he could finish his words, Wei Fuguang was grabbed by Lin Chuqi's official sleeve. Seeing him panicking, he shouted, "Save Qiaoqiao and Brother Cheng!"

Wei Fuguang's expression became serious: "What's going on?"

Lin Chuqi tried to be concise, but his words were a bit disjointed due to anxiety and fatigue. Wei Fuguang listened patiently, his eyes rolled, and he whispered, "You've come just in time... General Gao!"

A soldier in armor stepped forward.

Wei Fuguang ordered: "Select two hundred elite soldiers."

"Two hundred elite soldiers?" Lin Chuqi said, "But there are only twenty or thirty barbarians."

"Young Master, if you want to kill them, you must kill them all. Only then can we ensure peace at the border." Wei Fuguang smiled again, but his eyes were filled with murderous intent. "Please lead the way, young master."

Lin Chuqi immediately said: "Okay!"

The people queuing at the city gate were relatively orderly, with only one person hurrying through.

It is the urgent Baizhi.

When she arrived at Yibingshangfang, the cook told her Qiaoqiao and Lin Chuqi weren't there. When she asked where they'd gone, she said she didn't know. She searched all the places the two children usually went, but the villagers she met along the way were all hurriedly packing their things, too busy to even bother to say a few words to Baizhi.

Finally, Bai Zhi ran back to the courtyard, panting, and knocked down every door to look for someone inside, but still found nothing. The house was empty, with no sign of anyone having returned.

She couldn't be found anywhere on the street. Could it be that her two children also heard the news of the evacuation and were looking for her on the street?

Then she should go back to Jiabingshangfang to ask the two children if they have been there?

Bai Zhi rubbed her head, feeling quite irritated. Logically, nothing would go wrong with Cheng Mao accompanying the two children, but for some reason, she felt a wave of palpitations, as if something bad was going on behind her.

There were clattering footsteps at the door. Bai Zhi turned around and saw who it was. She was a little disappointed. It wasn't Qiaoqiao Chuqi, but Qiao Banxian. His clothes were covered in mud and dirt, and he looked even dirtier than the last time they met.

But at this moment, Bai Zhi didn't care about him being dirty, nor did she bother to ask where he had been. She immediately rushed over and said, "Second Brother Qiao! Help me figure out where Qiaoqiao and Chuqi are."

Qiao Banxian glanced at her and raised his arm. Baizhi thought he was about to start calculating, not daring to make a sound. However, the arm stopped halfway, hanging in the air, motionless, as if acupuncture points had been applied. A moment later, just as Baizhi was about to speak, the arm extended a finger and slowly pointed to the southwest: "Follow me."

A hundred miles to the southwest was the territory of the barbarians. Bai Zhi felt a tightness and numbness on her back. Before she had taken two steps with Qiao Banxian, she suddenly asked Qiao Banxian to wait for a moment and turned back to the house to pack her luggage - if something really went wrong, she probably wouldn't have time to come back to get her things.

She didn't have much of her own belongings: a small pile of letters from home, half a bottle of Red Mother Yang, a few pieces of clothing, and some loose copper coins. When Bai Zhi picked up the wooden box Chu Yunchuan had made for hiding the flowers, she thought for a moment before putting it in her arms, placing it against her chest along with her name seal.

The next person to rush to was Lin Chuqi's room. This time, Chuqi was in charge of the money, and the silver was hidden under his bed. Bai Zhi peeled back the bricks on the kang, took out their belongings, and dumped them all into the bundle.

As for Qiaoqiao, her room contained a lot of junk but few important items. Cheng Mao's room contained almost nothing but clothes, making them easy to pack. Baizhi hurriedly packed a large bag and urged Qiao Banxian to set off.

Qiao Banxian didn't seem to be in a hurry, but he was actually walking quite fast. After they had been walking for a while, Bai Zhi asked, "Second Brother Qiao, are they safe now?"

"I don't know."

"Then...then they are still alive."

"I don't know."

Bai Zhi's forehead throbbed. "Did you just calculate the position?"

Qiao Banxian suddenly stopped and looked back at her: "You are as anxious as fire, and your two younger brothers and sisters are as anxious as if they were in fire." After saying that, he continued to move forward.

Bai Zhi: "..."

If she hadn't seen this guy's abilities before, she would have wanted to punch him. She suppressed her irritation and took a deep breath. "Alright, once we find them, go home and pack your bags. Let Cheng Mao take you to Linzhou. If you come back by yourself, I won't have to look for you again."

Qiao Banxian: "Linzhou?"

Bai Zhi: "Yes, I have a house in Linzhou, right on the busiest street. You can rest there for a while before returning to Qing County - Oh, the three of us are going back to Qing County. You can go wherever you want. If you want to go back to Qing County with us, I can also arrange a place for you to stay."

Qiao Banxian stopped again and asked, "Where is the house in Linzhou?"

Bai Zhi: "Why are you asking this?"

"explain."

"..." Bai Zhi didn't know what Banxian was thinking about, she just guessed that he wanted to calculate the good and bad feng shui, so she thought hard for a long time and then gave her address.

But Qiao Banxian did nothing and just nodded.

Bai Zhi asked, "How's the feng shui of this house? I didn't ask anyone to calculate it. I bought it for the cheapest price."

"I don't know."

"…………"
