My lady, I'm going to rebel.

At noon, Mu Zheng and others met Sai Zhangfei at Boss Ji's place.

"Is this Miss Shu'er?" Hu Shu'er felt distressed when she saw the timid girl in front of her. Mu Zheng had just told her the general situation, and her eyes were red with tears.

"Send her back and take good care of her." Mu Zheng instructed Sai Zhangfei.

Sai Zhangfei nodded, then froze for a moment, "What about you? You're not going back?"

Then she looked behind Mu Zheng and asked, "Where's that kid Li Lian? Is he dead?"

"Damn it!" Sai Zhang Fei was the most impatient woman Mu Zheng had ever seen. To prevent her from losing her temper, Mu Zheng quickly explained, "Li Lian and I will stay in the city for two more days."

"Brother Mu, aren't you leaving?" Hu Shu'er held Mu Zheng's hand, looking nervous.

Mu Zheng gently patted the back of the girl's hand, then told Sai Zhangfei that reinforcements would arrive in three days: "You pass the news back and ask them to make more preparations. Li Lian and I have something else to do."

"what's up?"

"No food!"

……

Seeing that Mu Zheng had finally finished playing crickets with the two beauties, Gary greeted them attentively. "Brother Mu, see you again if we're lucky."

Mu Zheng glanced at Gary and asked, "Can't bear to leave me?"

Gary's eyes paused. "Yes, it's my honor to meet Mu Zheng. But our time together was too short. When the inner city is unsealed, we can drink together again."

"Hehe." Mu Zheng laughed, "Why wait until later? Tonight is fine too."

"Tonight?" Gary's heart skipped a beat.

Mu Zheng smiled and put his arm around Gary's shoulders again, "Who said we're leaving?"

Gerry was dumbfounded, "Didn't you rescue people already?"

"Yes! But didn't you say you couldn't bear to leave me?" Mu Zheng put his arm around Gary's shoulders and said, "Besides, you helped me rescue the rebels. I can't let you bear this heinous crime alone."

"How could I help? It was you who asked me to contact Boss Ji."

"Really? I only remember contacting you and you bringing us here to see Boss Ji. Boss Ji and I don't know who you asked us to send out."

"you!"

Gary was very angry. He finally understood what Mu Zheng meant. He wanted to force him onto the pirate ship.

Damn it, I was planning to report this to the authorities later, but now it seems like that’s not going to work.

Seeing his angry expression, Mu Zheng laughed heartily and patted him on the shoulder: "Let's go, maybe the police will come to search for us soon."

Mu Zheng felt that Hua Erniang's power must be more than just the people in the room. Maybe she has been discovered and is now filing a complaint with the authorities.

"Why didn't you kill her just now?" Gary felt that this man was not decisive at all.

"Because Shu'er is here." Mu Zheng naturally knew that there would be many hidden dangers if he didn't kill Hua Er Niang, but for Shu'er, he was willing to take the risk.

"How about you go and give him another blow now?" Gary said.

Hearing this, Mu Zheng glanced at Gary. This man was not an ordinary person.

Yes, for people in troubled times, there is no such thing as simplicity.

"No need, Li Lian has already gone." Mu Zheng said lightly, but he didn't know whether he would still make it in time.

When Gerry heard this, he quickly said, "It's not too late. That woman must die. I don't want you to be caught by the officials."

However, things backfired.

Soon, Li Lian came back.

Hua Er Niang ran away.

"Ah? Trash..." Gary almost cursed out loud when he heard the news, but fortunately he stopped in time. After all, he had already felt Li Lian's deathly gaze.

He turned to look at Mu Zheng: "What should I do? You guys can fight and kill, but how can I survive if I'm identified?"

Mu Zheng frowned slightly, then said to Gary, "Want to survive? Then help me find her."

"Ah?" Gary didn't want to agree.

"Li Lian and I are not familiar with the inner city, nor are we familiar with the interpersonal relationships here. You are different. You work in this line of work and should know who that woman is and where she might appear." Mu Zheng's words made Gary unable to refute. Indeed, he knew who that woman was.

But he really didn't want to do it.

"It doesn't matter if we don't do it. We can run anyway." Mu Zheng shrugged indifferently.

"Yes, you know, when we catch pheasants and rabbits in the mountains, the one who runs the slowest is always caught. Then we remove the tendons, skin them, cut them into pieces and put them in the pot." Li Lian also echoed.

Oh shit!

Gary cursed inwardly, then revealed an expression uglier than crying: "Then let me try?"

"Also!" Mu Zheng added, "From now on, all the work in Xiudai's room will be left to me."

Gary was stunned, but this time he learned his lesson and didn't ask any questions: "I wish Brother Mu can get something for free soon."

Mu Zheng: "Hmm?"

……

Night falls.

Mu Zheng and Li Lian appeared in Manhua Garden again.

Hadn't Gerry been beaten by Mu Zheng and the others? That's why his face was still bruised. This made Gebi very happy, and he was bullying him in every way. He even asked Mu Zheng and the others to follow him, but this time Mu Zheng refused flatly. After all, they didn't know what kind of person Gebi was, but Gerry was already under their control.

"Mu Zheng!"

When she heard someone calling her, she turned around and saw that it was Xiudai's maid, named Qinglu.

"coming!"

Mu Zheng hurried upstairs.

Mu Zheng felt sympathy for Xiu Dai. She was originally the daughter of a merchant, but she had been robbed during a famine. She had thought the local government would help her, but she didn't expect that her enormous wealth would only arouse people's greed.

In this way, Xiu Dai fled famine and came to Ju County, where her maternal grandfather lived. However, she did not find her maternal grandfather and was eventually tricked into a brothel.

"Has the person been rescued?" Xiu Dai asked.

"Thank you for your help, young lady. The person has been sent out of the city." Mu Zheng replied.

A trace of envy flashed in Xiu Dai's eyes, "How great! Someone will come to save her."

Hearing this again, Mu Zheng was also very moved. He said solemnly: "Miss Xiu Dai, I still say the same thing. If you want, I can also send you out of the city."

Xiu Dai chuckled and shook her head, "No, I've fallen into this world of fireworks. Nowhere else can I go than to stay here and enjoy the peace and tranquility."

Mu Zheng frowned.

He didn't think that Xiu Dai had given up her desire for freedom after staying in this place of prostitution for less than ten days. He thought of what Xiu Dai had not finished saying that morning.

"The girl once asked me to help you with something."

"I thought Master Mu had forgotten."

"I will never forget the kindness you have shown me. If you have any instructions, please let me know."

"Don't you even ask what the trouble is?"

"No matter what the trouble is, I will help you at all costs."

"Haha, maybe it's really a fight to the death."

Ok?

Mu Zheng was stunned, his expression becoming serious. He had originally thought that a prostitute's request for help wouldn't be too troublesome, but now it sounded like it was quite a problem.

"Miss Xiu Dai, please speak."

Unexpectedly, Xiu Dai changed the subject: "Since Master Mu has already rescued the people, why don't you leave?"

Mu Zheng said seriously, "First, the young lady has entrusted me with something, and I cannot fail to do so. Secondly, I also need your help with something."

"Oh? You have other sisters trapped?" Xiu Dai asked.

"No, I want the girl to help me steal something." Mu Zheng said.

Mu Zheng had an idea after hearing what the man surnamed Yue said that morning. Aren't reinforcements arriving soon? Then he would burn the military rations in Ju County. Without food, how can you fight?

By then, not only will the soldiers defending Ju County lose confidence, but even the reinforcements might want to give up.

"So, you want me to steal the granary key from Cardinal Yue?" Xiu Dai asked.

Is the granary officer called Yue Shuji?

Mu Zheng shook his head: "How can I let the girl do such a dangerous thing? I just need her to give him two more glasses of wine when the time comes."

Xiu Dai finally understood that Mu Zheng was planning to do it himself.

"But he just came last night and he won't come again in the next two days." Xiu Dai felt that this plan would not succeed, mainly because there was not enough time.

"No, I wasn't planning on doing it these past two days. I'm going to wait until all the food and fodder for the reinforcements are moved into the granary, and then burn them all at once!"
