I want to ruin the country

If we still had to travel by land, we would have to sleep with one eye open. Not to mention assassins, even if there were no prison van hijackers, several of the dozens of people would surely collapse from exhaustion!

Hong Xiuquan and his companions had to sit cross-legged in the prison van every day. It was such torture that they had lost all feeling in their legs.

Think about it, you lie freely in bed for a long time, but still feel unbearable pain in your waist and legs?

What's more, except when they were urinating or defecating, they basically had to stay in the same position, and both of their hands were holding the shackles. It must be extremely uncomfortable.

Yang Xiuqing even begged Pang Long and others,

"Please, sir, kill me, I can't bear it!"

At first, everyone was hoping that Hong Yujiao would organize more people to rescue them. But when they got on the boat and saw that it turned a corner halfway, they despaired.

It’s over, there’s no way to escape this time!

Let’s talk about Hong Yujiao again. After she escaped, she didn’t go far.

She was extremely depressed. She had all the skills but was no match for the musket.

After thinking about it and feeling unwilling, he went out for a while, then turned back and quietly went up to the roof.

Pang Long and the others never dreamed that this female Rakshasa had a courage bigger than a dried pumpkin, and dared to come back under such circumstances.

He saw the local official coming and heard clearly what Pang Long gave orders.

Since we are going to the capital, this will be easy. I decided to follow him along the way.

Hong Yujiao thought that as long as she fought alone, few of those people would be able to withstand more than a few moves from her, so she would rush over and kill a few of them whenever she had the chance.

Or when he got close to the prison van, he wouldn't wait for them to shoot, but would smash the van open with one hand, carry his brother on his back and run away. At least he would save as many people as he could.

But none of the eight brothers who came with him were left, they were all dead. How could he explain this to Zeng Li when he saw him?

At the very least, we want to see them laid to rest, or know where they are buried so that it will be easier to find them in the future.

I also thought that although I am a woman, I cannot be soft-hearted when doing big things.

Since it was the government that buried them, there was no need to worry about not finding them. It was better to follow Pang Long and the others first.

Having made up his mind, he secretly followed Pang Long and the others to see if there was any chance to take action.

She didn't believe that she would not be able to find a chance to rescue her brother and others after traveling thousands of miles to the capital.

Seeing Pang Long and the others board the boat and leave, she hurried to look for a boat.

But it's still dark, and the boat owner is unwilling to sail, saying he'll wait until daybreak.

After haggling for a long time, Hong Yujiao paid three times the price before the boatman untied the rope and raised the anchor.

After crossing the river, they couldn't find Pang Long and his crew's big ship no matter what.

Hong Yujiao thought that if she had delayed for a moment, the other party must have abandoned the boat and gone ashore.

She also hurried ashore and asked along the way, but she could not find any trace of the prison van.

Hong Yujiao didn't expect that Pang Long and the others went downstream to the east, so she could only ask and go north.

She made up her mind that she was going to the capital anyway, so it didn't matter if she couldn't catch up on the way, it would be the same when she arrived in the capital.

In this way, she traveled north from Xuchang, Handan, and Baoding, but she still couldn't find any trace of the prison van until she arrived in the capital.

In fact, at this time, Pang Long and his friends were still enjoying the scenery on the canal by boat.

Because Yujiao could travel two or three hundred miles a day on horseback, they could never travel that fast on a boat.

Moreover, Yujiao basically walked in a straight line and the distance was closer than Pang Long and the others, so she arrived in the capital first.

When she arrived at the prosperous capital, Hong Yujiao was stunned.

In such a big capital city, I don’t know anyone and it’s impossible to even find someone to ask. Where can I find my brothers?

You can't go to the government office to ask,

"Master, are my brother and the others imprisoned here with you? If so, I will find time to come and rescue him!"

Isn't that crazy?

After wandering around for a long time, let’s find an inn to stay in first!

She didn't know where to stay, so she wandered around the streets. In fact, there were plenty of inns in Qianmen, Tianqiao and Dazhalan.

It’s just that because the imperial examination, the Ministry of Works examination, and the royal auction are about to be held, there are too many people in the capital and every inn is full.

Not to mention that there is no house, even if there is one, Hong Yujiao doesn't plan to live here. It's too lively, with people coming and going all the time.

Hong Yujiao thought a lot. She came here to save people and had to hide her whereabouts as much as possible.

She left this area and looked for a place out of the way, but all the inns in the secluded places were full.

Finally, we saw a "Tongxi" Inn in an alley.

In broad daylight, there were not many people coming in and out of the inn, and it looked very quiet.

When I came in, I saw that the proprietress of the inn was a sexy woman in her forties who was still charming and graceful.

She is pretty, with fair skin and tender flesh. I guess she was a great beauty when she was young.

Now that I’m older, I’ve gained some weight, but some men just like this kind of plump woman.

She wasn't busy here either, she was sitting behind the counter eating sunflower seeds.

When the proprietress saw Hong Yujiao coming in, she was surprised. How could there be such a beautiful woman in the world?

She had seen many good girls, but no one was like her, just like what the book said,

"If she is one inch longer, she will be too long; if she is one inch less, she will be too short." Even the phrase "the moon is as beautiful as a flower" is not enough to describe her!

The boss lady's heart suddenly became lively, and she walked out from behind the counter with a smile on her face, saying,

"Hey, here comes the girl, you want to stay in the hotel, are you alone?"

Hong Yujiao was very happy to see the proprietress being so enthusiastic.

They run a business, so it's only natural to greet customers warmly!

Hong Yujiao said,

"I'm staying at a hotel. I'm alone. Is there a room available?"

When the proprietress heard the accent, she knew it was a southern girl.

If I weren't so knowledgeable, I probably wouldn't understand what she was saying.

Haha, there’s hope!

She walked over, took the girl's hand, and said exaggeratedly,

"There is a room, what do you mean?

You're such a beauty, like in a painting, how could your parents bear to let you go out alone?"

The proprietress is an old hand. This is what Hong Yujiao said. When a single girl goes out, there must be a story.

She wanted to figure out the whole story so that she could prepare for the next step.

When she heard that there was a house, Miss Yujiao felt relieved and no longer had to sleep on the streets.

However, her words touched upon Miss Yujiao's sore spot, and her eyes became red.

I can’t even remember what my parents look like now, and I don’t remember ever enjoying the favor of my parents.

Although her mentor treated her like her own daughter, which child doesn't want to grow up with their parents? Lacking parental love is a lifelong regret.

Her brother was very good to her, but they had been apart for most of the past two years. Now her brother was in prison and her life or death was unknown. How could she not feel sad and upset?

She answered the landlady,

"My parents passed away, and something happened to my brother, so I came here to find him!"
