The Marquise: I Earn My Own Worship

suddenly!

A strong wind blew past, and Fang Youming felt a flash before his eyes. When he opened his eyes again, the man who had been lying silently on the ground had stood up, with the sword in his hand across his neck.

His heartbeat was rapidly rising and falling in his chest, and he lowered his voice and spoke quickly, "Wait, spare his life!"

At this time, Kang Ge'er was looking at the person in front of him with his eyes open and sharp eyes.

The edge of his sword had already cut through the skin of the man in front of him. If he moved, the sword would cut off his head.

He had just heard footsteps. If the man's steps had not been so unsteady and he had not looked like a martial artist, he would have been pierced through by his sword, leaving him no room for words.

Fang Youming swallowed his saliva and felt the chill on his neck.

"you listen to me."

……

When the killer who was chasing them saw the empty yard, he said, "Strange, this is the direction."

After some investigation, the leader saw blood in the corner and became furious.

"Damn it! He even managed to escape like this. Is he really that lucky?"

He was injured and couldn't run far. "Search carefully. If you find him, take him back with you. We will have all the gold, mansions and beauties."

They were spies who had been lying in ambush in the city. Originally, they were supposed to follow Mo Sheng's army when they evacuated, but their superiors asked them to stay in the city and disguise themselves.

There was a young general named Duan in the Great Chu. His marching style was treacherous and he did not play by the rules. Mo Sheng's army fell into his hands several times.

No one knows where this young general comes from, but whenever he encounters danger, he seems to be helped by God and escapes.

The last time, the high priest of Mo Sheng tried to capture him alive, but he escaped. He was never found after being searched for. He was even better at hiding than a mouse.

The order they received was to immediately implement the arrest warrant as soon as General Duan returned to Mu City.

Live to see people, die to see corpses.

They were lurking in various locations in Mu City and were finally caught.

People are least vigilant at their doorstep. Who would have thought that they would be stabbed in their own territory?

The operation was half successful. General Duan was seriously injured, and it was only a matter of time before he was found.

The leader had a black mole between his eyebrows, and the viciousness in his eyes ruined his originally gentle face.

He must not be allowed to go back alive. This young general has seen his face. If he fails, his identity will be exposed when he returns.

On the other side, Fang Youming was hiding in the cellar, supporting Kang Ge'er, who had fainted.

He knew this man, the famous General Duan, he had seen him in the crowd once.

He didn't expect to meet him in this place today.

Fang Youming began to bandage him. There was no clean cloth, so he took off his clothes.

His inner garment was made for him by his sick mother yesterday when she went back to visit her with the money she earned from selling her embroidered handkerchiefs. He wore it today when he went out because it was clean.

He tore his underwear into long strips and found the medicine in his arms. His abdomen was still bleeding, but it was much better than before.

They were refugees and could not leave their place of exile without permission.

But now the situation has changed. The army has reached Mo Sheng, and they were called here to build the city wall.

After the city wall was repaired, they were not taken back but settled in Mu City.

They have to follow the supervisor every day and go wherever people are needed.

It is said that a girls' school will be opened here in the future. The director collected money and asked them to wait. When the manager of the girls' school comes, he will ask them to repair or cultivate the land.

Even the warden didn't know the details, let alone him.

Since the war, they have been able to move around much more freely than before.

Nothing happened. Except that I couldn't leave Mu City and didn't have a household registration, I was no different from an ordinary person.

My uncles, aunts and other relatives also moved here. Since most of the Mo Sheng people in Mu City had fled, there were many vacant houses. They packed up and found an ordinary house to move in.

The place where they are hiding now is called Baihua Alley. This area is basically inhabited by refugees. Because of their special status, they still prefer to live in groups.

Fang Youming now lives alone in a small courtyard with his mother and younger brother, but his neighbors are all uncles and aunts, which is no different from before.

Living conditions are much better now than before. At least Fang Youming is more satisfied. He has a separate yard and can do some private work to earn some money after work, which is enough to support his family.

Because everyone in the neighborhood knows each other, sometimes when someone is not at home, they will ask people around to help keep an eye on the house to prevent things from being stolen.

Fang Youming went out today and did some private work with the steward, and earned eight copper coins.

When he came back, he heard some noise at his sixth uncle's house and became alert.

Uncle Six went with others to build a road two days ago, and he probably won’t be back for more than ten days.

Aunt Liu was afraid to be alone, so she took her younger brothers and sisters to live with their mother.

So, there was no one at Uncle Six's house.

Just as he was going out, Aunt Liu gave him the key and asked him to go to the cellar and get some pickles to eat.

Fang Youming was worried that a thief might have come in, so he quietly walked over and prepared to catch the person.

Although there is not much at home, it is poorer than the west wind.

As a result, I met General Duan.

Fang Youming was not a fool. General Duan was said to have disappeared before, and now he was assassinated without making any noise when he came back. He thought about it carefully and was shocked that there were still enemies in the city.

The more he thought about it, the paler Fang Youming's face became.

Mushi City is now part of the territory of Great Chu. A general was ambushed within Great Chu. Besides the enemy being too rampant, there is another possibility...

Someone above him didn't want him to go back, so he had been trying to ambush General Duan. Otherwise, why was he still alive but hadn't returned yet?

And this person above might have a relatively high status.

Once this possibility becomes a reality, it means there is a traitor in the Chu army.

Fang Youming looked at the red face of the person on the ground. He had a fever, but he had taken medicine, so he should be fine.
