I'm in trouble again! My best friend, the princess in the group, please save me!

"Stop dawdling! The city gates will be closed soon, and when the food supply is cut off, the people in the city won't be able to survive for half a month!" Hai Yanqing shouted anxiously.

Before everyone could react, Hai Yanqing quickly picked up An Huanyan and rushed out like an arrow.

Seeing this, the others could only hurriedly pack up their things and run out the door.

After all, Hai Yanqing has always been calm, neither arrogant nor impatient, and looks like someone who wants to be kept away from strangers. It is quite surprising that he is so anxious now, but people also realize the seriousness of the matter.

As soon as they stepped out of the house, they saw chaos on the street.

People were running around with their luggage on their backs in panic, while the officers and soldiers on horseback were charging through the crowd, making the whole scene even more chaotic.

At this moment, Jiang Xingkuo, who had been running wildly, suddenly stopped, with a very conflicted expression on his face.

"Xingxing, come with us!" An Huanyan shouted anxiously.

However, Jiang Xingkuo shook his head and said with a firm look in his eyes: "No, I can't abandon the people in the store, let alone... him... You guys go!"

After saying that, she pushed Hai Yanqing hard and said, "You promised me that you would protect her for the rest of her life. If she encounters something like last time again..."

Hai Yanqing interrupted Jiang Xingkuo without hesitation: "Don't worry, if that day really comes, I will come to you with my head."

An Huanyan looked back every few steps, looking at Jiang Xingkuo with a worried look on her face.

Finally, Jiang Xingkuo urged anxiously again: "Hurry up! Stay away from here! It's not safe! You have to believe me, I will definitely survive! You forgot, I still have a trump card!"

Hearing this, An Huanyan finally nodded gently, with a trace of worry and reluctance that was hard to conceal in her eyes, but she still turned around and got on the carriage resolutely.

"Where is Tengxi? Why didn't Tengxi catch up?" An Huanyan walked into the carriage and found that Songyan was the only one inside. She couldn't help but feel suspicious and asked hurriedly.

"Tengxi went to get medicine for the princess... and he hasn't come back yet." Songyan looked out the window of the carriage anxiously, his tone worried.

"You guys go first. After Tengxi returns to the princess's mansion, I will make sure she is safe." Seeing that they were reluctant to leave, Jiang Xingkuo hurriedly urged them.

Hai Yanqing nodded without hesitation, then swung the whip in his hand vigorously, driving the carriage rapidly towards the city gate.

Just as An Huanyan left, a group of people armed with swords suddenly broke into the princess's mansion. This sudden change made everyone panic and they fled in all directions.

The intruders grabbed the people and asked them harshly: "Where is the warehouse! Where is the South Gate warehouse! Tell me now!"

The captured servant pointed the way with a trembling hand like a frightened rabbit, and was then stabbed in the neck by the person behind him.

Jiang Xingkuo was so scared that he sat down on the ground, his face as pale as paper.

Fortunately, these people ignored others and rushed all the way to the warehouse in the backyard.

After they forced open the warehouse door, they began to rummage through the drawers and cabinets looking for something.

Jiang Xingkuo hid behind a pillar, not daring to breathe, and watched silently.

These people searched the entire warehouse but couldn't find what they wanted, so they started cursing and hacking around to vent their anger, and then quickly retreated.

Before leaving, they also took away a lot of gold, silver, jewelry and accessories.

Jiang Xingkuo couldn't help but curse inwardly: "Robber!"

After everyone had left, she carefully entered the warehouse where they had been.

The warehouse was in a mess. All the boxes were smashed open. The sugar in the box in the corner was scattered everywhere and was trampled into a dirty state. It was obvious that people were looking for the black fire that had been hiding here before.

Seeing this scene, Jiang Xingkuo sneered in his heart.

These people would probably never imagine that the black fire they were looking for had already been made into fireworks by themselves and had been completely consumed.

This was done secretly, and no one would suspect her.

At this time, the princess's mansion began to fall into chaos. Some people took this opportunity to steal property secretly, while others openly robbed others' belongings.

At this moment, Jiang Xingkuo was no longer a noble princess, so naturally no one was willing to obey her orders and dispatches. So, she decided to go back to her residence to look for Tengxi first.

Just as she reached the door, a troop of soldiers arrived at the gate of the mansion.

The leading guard quickly dismounted and asked Jiang Xingkuo, "Is Princess Wuyang here?"

With the previous lesson, Jiang Xingkuo became alert, fearing that these people had bad intentions, so he watched them with caution.

The guard immediately bowed his head and said respectfully, "The traitors plotted rebellion, causing chaos in the city. Therefore, His Majesty sent us to protect Her Royal Highness the Princess."

After hearing these words, Jiang Xingkuo's tension was finally relieved, and she hurriedly invited everyone into the mansion.

When they learned that An Huanyan had left, everyone was shocked and looked incredulous.

But no matter how surprised I was, the person still stayed even though he was gone.

Jiang Xingkuo couldn't figure it out.

The leading guard said, "His Majesty has specifically instructed that Miss Jiang's safety must be ensured."

Hearing these words, Jiang Xingkuo felt a complex emotion in his heart.

Afterwards, she began to arrange accommodation for the guards and told them that if they encountered people who came to rob them, they could drive them away with force.

At the same time, the servants in the mansion also received corresponding instructions. Those who wanted to leave could take their belongings with them, and if they wanted to stay, they would definitely not let everyone down.

At this moment, the guards caught several servants who were trying to escape with expensive antique porcelain and jewelry.

There was a look of fear on their faces and they held the treasures tightly in their hands, fearing that they would be snatched away by the guards.

Faced with this situation, the head guard frowned, turned to look at Jiang Xingkuo, and asked: "Young lady, do you need to kill one to warn the others? I think this house is too messy. It's time to clean it up."

However, the servants immediately knelt down and kept knocking their heads on the ground. Their eyes were full of fear, their lips trembled, and they kept saying, "Miss, please spare us. We know we are wrong and we are willing to return everything."

Seeing this scene, Jiang Xingkuo sighed helplessly, and her eyes revealed a deep helplessness and sadness.

She knew that these servants were just trying to survive, and in this chaotic world, they could only make this choice.

In the end, she let the servants go.

Tengxi came back with the herbs in his arms, looking panicked. "It's chaos, chaos, chaos. I heard that the city gates are closed and we can't get out!"
