Why mess with her? Even the emperor has to pamper her.

As Yun Chuwei expected, the rebels soon sent a message and agreed to let Yun Chuwei exchange Xie Xin.

Huo Qingjue planned to follow Yun Chuwei, but was stopped by Yun Chuwei.

"You stay!"

Huo Qingjue was a little puzzled: "Why? His Majesty ordered me to follow you and protect you at all times!"

Yun Chuwei looked solemn and said slowly: "The common people and the rebels have prejudices against the Embroidered Uniform Guards. If you go there, you may arouse their hatred. The officials in the court also have prejudices against the Embroidered Uniform Guards. If you go to the rebels, it is equivalent to handing the handle to the officials!"

After listening to Yun Chuwei's words, Huo Qingjue understood what Yun Chuwei meant.

Yun Chuwei was protecting him and his brothers.

Huo Qingjue frowned slightly and asked, "Aren't you afraid that they will accuse you of treason when you go there?"

Yun Chu tilted his head slightly, his eyes shining with confidence.

"If they want to complain about me, they can do so. No one will care what they say."

Huo Qingjue remained silent.

Yun Chuwei's shining image seemed to be imprinted in his mind.

He knew that the reason why Yun Chuwei was so confident was because she had the capital to do so.

She was so open-minded that she didn't care even if the whole court attacked her. All of this came from her own strength.

But he couldn't do it.

He could only bow to Yun Chuwei and Yan Wei and said, "Master Yan, please protect the young lady. Please make sure the young lady returns safely!"

Tied to her body were not only his head, but also the heads of all his brothers.

Yun Chu smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, I will come back safe and sound."

After saying that, she headed towards Jizhou City.

Yan Wei always followed behind her.

Xie Sheng looked at the backs of the two people and felt a tightness in his chest and a stabbing pain in his heart.

Yun Chuwei didn't even look at him from beginning to end.

"Yun Chuwei..." He called Yun Chuwei subconsciously.

However, both Yun Chuwei and Yan Wei seemed not to have heard his words and ignored him completely.

Huo Qingjue glanced at Xie Sheng sideways and quickly lowered his head.

Xie Sheng felt Huo Qingjue's gaze, frowned, and said, "What are you looking at me for? Do you have anything to say?"

"I dare not!" Huo Qingjue replied.

Xie Sheng felt that this was not a nice thing to say and was about to get angry, but then he remembered something and suppressed his anger.

He took a deep breath and said to Huo Qingjue, "You have been following Yun Chuwei for a while, right? Do you know what kind of person she is and what her attitude towards me is?"

Huo Qingjue's expression was cold: "I dare not say it, for fear of offending His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Xie Sheng was annoyed, but still did not lose his temper. He just said, "I forgive you for being innocent. If you have anything to say, just say it!"

After hearing this, Huo Qingjue said, "I want to say that Your Highness is just wishful thinking. You are not worthy of the young lady at all!"

Hearing this, Xie Sheng was furious: "You! How dare you! Aren't you afraid that I will kill you?"

Huo Qingjue said, "I am indeed afraid, but didn't Your Highness say that you forgive me for my innocence? Besides, killing the Embroidered Uniform Guards would also require courage and boldness, right?"

The Embroidered Uniform Guard was the emperor's personal guard and was directly responsible to him. In a sense, they represented the emperor.

Xie Sheng was furious, but he knew that Huo Qingjue was right, and he did not dare to kill the Embroidered Uniform Guards representing the emperor.

-

Yun Chuwei arrived outside the gate of Jizhou City and saw that the rebels were already waiting outside the city gate with Xie Xin and others.

The two sides discussed whether Yun Chuwei should enter the city first or they should release the people first.

Finally, both parties decided to let Yan Wei replace Xie Xin.

Xie Xin knew that Yun Chuwei was coming to replace her, so she frowned and kept opposing it.

"Yun Chuwei, go back and don't do such things!" Xie Xin looked at Yun Chuwei and said.

If the rebels hadn't tied her up, she would have rushed out with her sword in hand. Why would she need Yun Chuwei to exchange for her?

Yun Chuwei looked at Xie Xin and said with a smile: "You have been arrested, and the army's morale has been weakened. Only if you go back can they feel at ease."

Yun Chuwei paused and continued, "If you are in the hands of the rebels, even if we don't retreat, it will be difficult to attack the rebels. After all, we should be careful about the consequences. I don't have to worry about them."

She knew that the rebels would not kill her, let alone use her to threaten Xie Xin.

Xie Xin finally agreed.

After saying goodbye to Xie Xin, Yun Chuwei followed the rebels into Jizhou City.

Jizhou City was very quiet. Apart from the troops patrolling back and forth, no civilians were seen.

The doors of shops and houses in the city were all closed.

Obviously, people are staying at home.

Along the way, Yun Chuwei discovered that the Jizhou City Governor's Mansion had been occupied by the rebels, and Jizhou's granaries and arsenals were heavily guarded by the rebels.

Finally, Yun Chuwei met the rebel leader and military advisor in the main hall of the governor's mansion.

Yun Chuwei glanced at the two men and quickly determined that the sturdy middle-aged man should be Li Ping, the leader of the Jizhou rebels.

The bookish man was Zhang Gong, the military advisor of the Jizhou rebels.

Li Ping looked at Yun Chuwei and couldn't help but frown.

He turned to Zhang Gong and said, "Mr. Zhang, is that her? Could we be mistaken?"

Zhang Gong shook his head and said, "It shouldn't be a mistake."

She was wearing a simple green dress and her hair was casually tied up with a jade hairpin, but it could not hide her overall elegance.

Zhang Gong knew at a glance that this was the person they were looking for.

Because this kind of temperament is too familiar and special.

After Zhang Gong finished speaking, he bowed slightly to Yun Chu and said, "Zhang Gong from Qingcheng Mountain, may I ask if you are from Xian Mountain?"

Yun Chuwei returned the greeting and said, "I am Yun Chuwei from the Hidden Gate of Xianshan Valley."

Zhang Gong's eyes brightened up.

The Hidden Gate in the Xian Valley is a place that all Taoists yearn for.

Legend has it that this is where the sage lived in seclusion.

Although they would go to Danshan to participate in the Luotian Grand Ceremony, they rarely came into contact with the core figures of the Danshan Valley Hidden Sect.

After someone revealed Yun Chuwei's information to him, he also sent people to check. After knowing that she was indeed the descendant of Prime Minister Yun, he was basically sure that the news was true.

That's why he asked Li Ping to try his best to bring the person back.

At this point, they were in a dilemma and had difficulty making a decision.

He hoped Yun Chuwei could give them some guidance.

Zhang Gong bowed slightly to Yun Chu again and said, "Daoyou, do you know why we came to you?"

Yun Chuwei's expression was calm, and he said slowly: "Forgive my ignorance, I don't know!"

Zhang Gong: ...

There's no way she doesn't know. By saying this, she means she doesn't want to bother with them, right?

Li Ping said directly: "The current emperor is ambitious and has been waging wars year after year. Even now, the war against foreign races continues. Now there are natural disasters and man-made disasters. The people are living in poverty and the country is about to fall. We chose to revolt so that the people can survive."
