My lady, I'm going to rebel.

The wide streets were bustling with people. If you didn't know there were rebels outside, you might think it was still a peaceful and prosperous time.

This is the inner city of Ju County.

No entry, no exit.

There weren't many common people here, only the military chiefs. It was precisely because of the military chiefs that the entire inner city was so lively.

They didn't worry about running out of food; if their granaries were empty, they would find an excuse to "borrow" some from the city dwellers. They also didn't worry about being bored and lonely in this small space, because there were many brothels in the inner city that were open all night, and a bushel of wheat could be exchanged for a night of pleasure.

Inside and outside the inner city are two different worlds.

"Sister Zhang, this inner city looks safe, but it's several times more dangerous than the outer city. Those damn soldiers, they say they're here to suppress the uprising, but all they do every day is exploit the people. Looking at how drunk they are, I'm afraid they still haven't gotten off their women's bellies by the time the rebels break into the city."

"Well, I know what you're saying, but in times like these, where can I go? In this city, I can still earn a living, but what about outside the inner city? I can't even find a single morsel of chaff."

In the corner, a man and a woman were talking quietly.

Hearing Zhang Biji's words, the man could only sigh, "Yes. The common people can't even dig up wild vegetables, but the soldiers guarding the city can eat meat every day."

"Hmph, they've eaten all the livestock raised by the city residents. I think the rebels have more conscience than this group of people. At least they won't beat these poor people so harshly." Sister Zhang glanced at the girl in the corner and asked, "What's wrong with this girl?"

"I picked him up. He's also a rebel. I wanted to take him out of the inner city, but the guards were too strict and we couldn't get out. I couldn't afford to support him anyway, so I thought of asking Sister Zhang for help and finding a way for her to survive." said the man.

"A way to survive?" Zhang Biji slowly walked to the girl and wanted to take a closer look at her, but she found that her eyes were filled with tears and her lips were trembling constantly.

"Afraid?" Zhang Biji asked in a low voice.

Hu Shuer raised her head: "Sister, I know what you do, and I also know why Brother Xia brought me to you, but, but..."

"You don't want to?" Zhang Biji saw what Hu Shu'er was thinking. Yes, what girl would be willing to sell her body?

Hu Shuer nodded.

She doesn't want to.

"But if you don't go to the brothel, you might not even make it through tomorrow. Don't say I'm trying to scare you, but do you think you can just endure hunger in this inner city? No. There are ruffians, hooligans, forces we can't afford to offend, and bandits in official uniforms. If you take the initiative, you might even get a bowl of porridge, but if you run into them, not only will you be left without food, but even your clothes will be torn into strips."

Zhang Biji's words are cruel, but that is the reality.

Hu Shuer's face turned pale, and she stood up tremblingly, holding on to the wall.

"Sister, I know you and Brother Xia have good intentions. But I don't want to live like that." A familiar figure emerged in Hu Shu'er's mind. He was so majestic. He had saved her once. He wouldn't want to see her become a woman who was neither respected nor loved.

"Miss Shu'er, it's better to live a miserable life than to die. You are unarmed and beautiful, but you can't find shelter in this inner city. How can you survive?" The man surnamed Xia advised.

"Brother Xia, thank you for saving me." Hu Shu'er looked towards the high walls of the inner city. "One day, I will get out."

General Fan said that Brother Mu Zheng had also joined the rebels and he would definitely come to rescue her.

Finally, Zhang Biji let Hu Shuer leave. Seeing her disappear into the alley, Zhang Biji sighed, "I hope this girl has better luck and gets noticed by a high-ranking official, so she won't have to worry anymore. Otherwise, we'll just have to meet in the courtyard."

Hu Shu'er tried to stay away from those bustling places. She wanted to find a safe place, even a dilapidated temple, which could shelter her from the wind and rain and allow her to wait quietly for the arrival of the rebels.

"what?"

A man's voice suddenly came from the dark corner.

Hu Shuer instinctively took a step back.

"Hey, I haven't seen such a beautiful woman in this inner city for a long time. Little girl, aren't you afraid of being alone outside these days? Do you want to find a brother to protect you?"

Hearing the man's words, Hu Shu'er was so scared that her voice trembled: "No, I'm going home. My father is waiting for me up there..."

"Waiting for you? Let the old man stop waiting. After all, you have met a new father now." The man was talking nonsense, and his eyes swept over Hu Shuer with ill intentions.

"What...what are you going to do!" Hu Shuer exclaimed.

"What should I do?" The man showed his big teeth: "Didn't I tell you? Brother is your new daddy."

As he spoke, the man stretched out his hand, and Hu Shuer was so scared that she turned around and ran away.

boom!

But there was a wall behind her, and Hu Shuer bumped into it directly. Her body went limp, stars appeared in her eyes, and she felt like she was about to faint.

"what are you doing!"

Just at this moment, footsteps were heard, and then a woman dressed in luxurious clothes ran in front of Hu Shuer.

"Girl, follow me!"

The woman grabbed Hu Shuer's arm, and Hu Shuer didn't care about anything else and stumbled and ran after the woman.

At that moment, she felt she was saved.

"Tsk! Damn bad luck." After the man saw the woman's appearance clearly, he tactfully stopped chasing her. This was the proprietress of the largest brothel in the city, with considerable influence. Now the soldiers were her regular customers, so they couldn't afford to offend her.

Hey!

The man shook his head and sighed, "Another bushel of wheat has to be spent. What a pity!"

……

Mu Zheng and the others were naturally unaware of Hu Shu'er's experience. At the moment, they were helping the mule-driven man carry firewood.

Of course, except Sai Zhang Fei.

After all, she was a woman, so he refused to take her to the barracks no matter what, saying that she would never come back.

Sai Zhangfei wanted to fight for it, but Mu Zheng stopped her.

"Just wait for us at uncle's house. If a girl like you goes to that wolf den, you'll cause trouble for us."

Sai Zhangfei was unhappy about this.

"Why do you say I'm causing trouble? If they dare to come near me, I'll kill them with one sword, and all the birds in the mountains will fly away!"

Li Lian thought Sai Zhangfei's words were really vulgar, but he dared not speak out because he was also a bird. "Brother Mu, you don't want to alert the enemy. If you really do take action, how should we proceed?"

Sai Zhangfei stamped her feet in anger and cursed, "I knew those two lumps on your chest were a burden, so annoying!" She glanced at Li Lian again, then grabbed some firewood and smeared it on Li Lian's face: "You are the same, you are more beautiful than me, and you are not afraid of getting your skin darker, but be careful, there will be no return."

Li Lian's fair face suddenly turned pitch black, so disgusting that he wanted to wipe it off.

"How dare you!" Sai Zhangfei glared, "Do you also want to cause a commotion and alert the enemy?"

"I'm not scared!" Li Lian said angrily, "I'm a man, how could I possibly cause a commotion?"

"Tsk, you make it sound like you have no place to hide your bird!" Sai Zhangfei's gaze moved down a little, and the smile on his face was self-evident.

Depend on!
