My lady, I'm going to rebel.

That night, Mu Zheng met Lu again.

He originally wanted to find out Yunniang's whereabouts, but unfortunately, Mrs. Lu didn't know anyone from Xiejiabao, and had no impression of Yunniang.

Afterwards, Mu Zheng inquired about the situation in Kuishan and the deployment of officers and soldiers at the foot of the mountain. He planned to break into Kuishan alone and quietly take Yunniang away.

"My benefactor, it's not impossible if you want to go to Kuishan alone. After all, the target is small and the feasibility is high. However, there are so many people from Xiejiabao in the mountains. How many can you take away?" asked Mrs. Lu.

This is also what Mu Zheng is extremely worried about.

His original intention was just to rescue Yunniang, but he knew that this was unlikely. The people of Xiejiabao had been so kind to him, and Yunniang had been cared for by the villagers for the past three months. If he didn't help, not only would he be heartbroken, but Yunniang might even look down on him.

However, it is undoubtedly a pipe dream to want to bring a team of troops out from the heavily surrounded Kuishan.

Seeing Mu Zheng's furrowed brows, Mrs. Lu sighed and said, "My benefactor! Actually, there is something I didn't tell you last night."

"what?"

"My tribe and I have already agreed that if we still can't find a solution by the beginning of winter, we will launch a breakout."

"hammer!"

Mu Zheng stood up suddenly. It was the beginning of winter, which was 16 days later.

No wonder historical records show that this peasant uprising lasted only three months. Now it seems that the breakout at the beginning of winter was the day the rebels were defeated.

What about Yunniang?

"No!" Mu Zheng refuted without hesitation.

"I know this is very dangerous, but the food in the mountains can only last for half a month at most. Moreover, the weather is getting colder, and it will snow after the beginning of winter. Even if people don't starve to death, they will freeze to death." Lu said sadly.

"Aunt Lu." Li Lian beside her was also anxious, "But your attempt to break out is also a life-or-death struggle."

"Hehe!" Mrs. Lu forced a helpless smile: "I am sorry to everyone, and I am sorry to my benefactor's wife."

She originally thought that her uprising would allow more people to live a good life, but she didn't expect that it would now leave everyone without a place to live.

Hearing this, Li Lian's eyes turned red.

Mrs. Lu patted the back of his hand. "Everyone says I'm avenging my son, but that's just one reason. When we were young, our Lu family was wealthy and prestigious. Although the Han Dynasty was declining and the court and the royal family were inactive, at least the common people still had food to eat, and we businessmen could make money. But since Wang Mang's dictatorship, the people have been living in poverty and grief is everywhere. My son has dreamed of conquering the world since he was a child. Unfortunately..."

Mrs. Lu paused for a moment and said, "As a mother, I should help him realize this dream. Fortunately, everyone on Kuishan Mountain has the same idea and vision."

Mu Zheng looked at the old woman in front of him as if he was meeting her for the first time.

To be honest, he used to think that Lu's uprising was just to avenge his son, just like the people of the world that Lu had mentioned. But he never expected that this old man actually had the interests of the world in his heart.

The best interests of the world refer to equal love without distinction of class, without jealousy, resentment or contention, and the sharing of wealth and mutual assistance.

In an instant, Mu Zheng felt his face burning.

At the critical moment, he was thinking about how to rescue Yunniang, but the son of Kuishan was thinking about how to resist the injustice of fate and how to win greater benefits for the people of the world.

He is ashamed of himself!

"General Lu!" Mu Zheng raised his hand and saluted: "Give me a month, and I will find a way to rescue everyone."

"Huh?" Mrs. Lu was surprised by Mu Zheng's sudden words and was stunned on the spot.

"As long as you hold on for another half a month, it will be fine." Mu Zheng then told him about the boat on Elephant Island. "Although I can't guarantee that we can really borrow a boat, it's better than everyone going to die."

When Li Lian heard that there were boats on Elephant Island, he slapped his forehead and said, "Right, why didn't I think of that? Brother Mu, write a letter right away, and Little Mosquito and I will rush to Elephant Island immediately. Little Mosquito will represent you, and I'll represent my father. I don't believe that with our status, we can't get a boat or two."

Oh?

Mu Zheng's eyes lit up.

In reality, he was saying that Li Lian had overestimated him, and that with his status, he wasn't sure he could borrow the boat; he was simply relying on his personal relationship with Qi Yuxiu. But now that Li Lian had stepped in, things might go much more smoothly, since Li Lian represented Li Zhong.

The next morning, Li Lian and Gong Wen rushed to Donglai with the letter. Before leaving, the two sides agreed on some related matters and made corresponding plans.

Seeing the two people walking away, Mrs. Lu's hands trembled with excitement.

Kuishan is saved.

But Mu Zheng was not so optimistic. He had to make more preparations. What if Li Lian could not borrow the boat?

"General Lu, you have your own channels for transmitting information, right?" Mu Zheng felt that the most urgent task was to get the news of the Lidong breakout plan canceled back to Kuishan. After all, the people in the mountains would have to endure another half a month, and all supplies would have to be reorganized.

"Yes, in Haoer Lane," said Mrs. Lu. They'd been hiding here and there for a while, and there weren't many Lu's troops left in the city. But there was a small, 14-year-old boy named Niu Wa, a nimble but short child, who was tasked with delivering news from the city to Kuishan.

Mu Zheng's heart tightened when he heard this. Only 14 years old? If it were in modern times, she would still be a carefree age. Maybe she would be punished by her parents for being addicted to online games or having a premature love affair. But this genius kid was responsible for the lives of thousands of people.

Sure enough, current events shape life.

Lu took Mu Zheng out of the city secretly. The contact point was in a remote valley.

"If you can escape, it would be best to choose a small island to live in seclusion."

"But where is the suitable island?"

"I've already asked my friend in the letter. If she has any recommendations, she'll take you there directly."

"Ah? Thank you so much."

"No, I'm just planning ahead. I'm not sure if it will work or not."

Mu Zheng and Lu were walking and chatting when suddenly, an unusual smell of blood reached Mu Zheng's ears. Lu's face changed drastically as she pointed to a high platform in the distance and said, "The sentry up there is gone."

Mu Zheng was shocked and cautiously drew out his machete. His eyes flashed as he signaled Lu to step back and walked carefully along the slope with his back bent.

But as soon as he entered the yard, he saw several bodies lying on the ground. They were lying on the ground, motionless, and the blood beneath them had soaked the soil.

Mu Zheng glanced over and found that one of them looked familiar. He should be the person who was by her side when he rescued Lu last time.

Looking forward, the house in the courtyard was completely dark. Mu Zheng took two quick steps and found several more bodies in the inner room.

It seems that this hidden contact point has been exposed.

"Niu Wa..."

Lu's voice came from behind, slightly trembling. Mu Zheng looked back and saw her tremblingly walking towards one of the corpses. Her body went limp and she sat on the ground. Then she hugged the thin body, her eyes filled with tears.

Is this the Niu Wa?

He is really thin. I guess he hasn't had a full meal since he was a child.

That night, Mu Zheng stayed with Lu.

It was unknown how long it took before Mrs. Lu regained her spirits. She bowed deeply and solemnly to Mu Zheng, "Young Master Mu, my benefactor, no more deaths are allowed."

boom……

These six short words were like a heavy hammer hitting Mu Zheng's head, and he nodded heavily.

No more deaths!
