The gunshot was very loud and could be heard from far away.

Qin Wan was afraid that these people had accomplices, so she hurriedly hid back on the beam.

Qin Wan's shooting was not accurate. She was aiming at the Hu man's chest, but the shot hit the man's forehead instead.

Qin Wan hid upstairs and waited for a long time, but no one came.

In fact, Qin Wan herself felt that the choking sound was loud, but the sounds of fighting in the city were quite loud, and no one noticed the movement here.

About an hour later, Qin Wan breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that no one entered the yard.

After coming down from the beam, Qin Wan stripped the clothes off the two Hu men on the ground.

Although she disliked the smell, Qin Wan still picked one and put it on.

Fortunately, Qin Wan's skin was not fair, because her aunt Liu was not kind, and under her torture, she was not a girl with delicate skin.

At this time, because of her short hair and the men's clothes she wore, Qin Wan, who already looked somewhat heroic, lost her feminine charm.

But Qin Wan's fox eyes made it hard to tell whether she was male or female.

Qin Wan rubbed the soot from the pot on her face and neck a few times. After dressing up, she looked completely different.

After disguising herself, Qin Wan began to move the corpse. She couldn't let these two men dirty her yard.

After great effort, Qin Wan finally moved the body to Yiran Courtyard and burned it.

It wasn't that Qin Wan was targeting Song Zhirou on purpose, it was because the road from Cuiyuxuan to Yiranyuan was easier to walk on, as there was no need to go through gardens and rockery, etc.

The Marquis's mansion is only Qin Wan's short-term residence. She has to wait until the Hu people's family moves to Yanbei City, and then she can move to another place.

After Qin Wan dealt with the corpse, she stayed here for another two days before she felt at ease to go out onto the street.

Yanbei City was very desolate at this time, and the once prosperous shops were now in ruins.

There were few people on the street and there was blood on the ground, but there were almost no corpses.

When those people saw Qin Wan's outfit, they didn't dare to come forward. They all hid aside and peeked at her.

Qin Wan ignored those people. They were all elderly people, and some were still young children. Qin Wan knew at a glance that these were the people who did not escape at the beginning.

Not everyone would abandon the city and flee. Since they had no adult males, they would die if they ran away.

What is the difference between dying early and dying late?

Moreover, the emperor of the Shang Dynasty was incompetent, and the heavy taxes and levies increased year by year, making it difficult for the people to make a living.

The princes in the court only cared about fighting for the throne and didn't care about the lives of the common people. Therefore, the people from poor families had given up resistance.

Qin Wan's outfit actually served as a protective color. When the Hu people saw Qin Wan, they didn't pay any attention to her.

The Han people had already become prisoners, and they dared not confront the Hu people on their territory.

Qin Wan walked and walked until she arrived in front of the prefectural government office.

There were quite a lot of people gathered here. The one standing below was a Han Chinese, and the one who was talking was also a Han Chinese. Next to him was a tall man dressed in Hu clothes.

Qin Wan recognized him. This man had also come to the Marquis' Mansion to plunder a few days ago.

"Remember this, from now on you are people of Nanliang, and no longer people of the Great Shang Dynasty."

The people below were trembling in fear and dared not to refute.

“From now on, the person who will take over Yanbei City is our Southern Liang Kingdom’s fourth prince Murong Fu. This time, our fourth prince led an army of 100,000 to attack the border with the goal of seizing Youzhou, Yunzhou and other places. Yanbei City is just an appetizer.

Now the army is unstoppable and has easily captured five cities. Victory is just around the corner."

Qin Wan: “….”

Qin Wan picked her ears and she seemed to hear a very familiar name.

Murong...restored?

This name is interesting. Isn’t this Wang Yuyan’s cousin?

How did he become the fourth prince of the Southern Liang Kingdom?

Qin Wan looked at the person speaking with a strange expression.

"Now, the fourth prince is still fighting the enemy, so all of you civilians should stay in your homes and don't go out unless necessary. We will make plans for the affiliation issue after we have arranged it."

When the Han people became slaves of the Hu people, they lost their freedom.

The people below all looked troubled, but knowing that they could survive and not be massacred was barely a consolation.

After all, a few years ago, there was a precedent of the Hu people massacring a city.

Qin Wan listened to the people above boasting and speaking Chinese so fluently, and she was also very moved. There was no shortage of traitors in the Shang Dynasty.

Qin Wan has been in this world for almost two months, but she still doesn't understand what dynasty this is.

She had never been to Chang'an and had never met the emperor.

The Shang Dynasty could not be the Yin and Shang Dynasty more than 1600 years ago BC. The main reason was that this dynasty did not have a list of gods or immortals, only ordinary people.

There are also Youzhou and Yunzhou, which Qin Wan is more familiar with. Youzhou seems to be the modern capital Beijing, but she has no idea where Yunzhou is.

After Qin Wan had a general understanding of the situation, she quietly retreated.

Her departure did not attract the attention of other Hu people, as Yanbei City was originally a border city between the Hu and Han dynasties.

After the Hu people conquered the city, the nomadic peoples on the border would soon come and occupy the city.

Qin Wan was short, and when the Hu people saw her, they thought she was a compatriot who had arrived earlier.

Qin Wan's side was relatively safe, but the people in the Marquis' Mansion did not have a smooth journey.

The long official road is filled with people from the Shang Dynasty.

A team of horse-drawn carriages from the Marquis' Mansion was moving slowly, with soldiers guarding the carriages in the middle. Because there were too many people following on the road, the Marquis' Mansion's convoy was moving slowly.

Behind the Marquis's team were many fleeing civilians, including some wealthy families in Yanbei City. They followed the convoy in front closely with all their belongings.

A small group of soldiers escorted the relatives of the marquis's mansion. When the common people saw the soldiers escorting them, they knew that they were a wealthy family or officials, so they followed closely behind, hoping that when the Hu people came, these soldiers could protect them or hold off one or two.

"Captain Hu, we can't go on like this. These civilians are slowing down our progress. It will be difficult for us to deliver people to Youzhou City on time."

Hu Wanchou was riding on his horse, looking at the people, and frowned, "Xiang Congnan, take a few people to stop them, don't let them get close to the convoy, and if someone comes up to them, don't be stingy with your weapons."

Xiang Congnan didn't expect Hu Wanchou to say this, "Captain Hu, those are the people of the Shang Dynasty, is it right to use weapons..."

Hu Wanchou's eyebrows raised, "The lives of those people are more important, but the life of the Marquis' wife is more valuable. The eldest master has given us the task, so we must bring the people back. Otherwise, we may not be able to keep our heads."

Xiang Congnan lowered his head and said, "Yes, Captain Hu!"
