After this incident, the investigation outside became more strict, and the appearance of Sheng Changan and Shen Huaizhi was leaked. In order to be on the safe side, they definitely could not stay here any longer.

I received a letter from Guangping County yesterday. Xia Yi has been found, and Li Dashan and Li Hui have also returned to Guangping. They are now rushing here.

Fortunately, many counties are relatively aware of the current situation and have not encountered any resistance. According to this progress, it will take at least a month. Before that, they can only postpone the time.

Fortunately, all these people's attention is focused on the two of them, so it is still safe here, but it is only a matter of time.

Yuan Qi bowed and said, "Don't worry, sir. I will definitely guard this place well."

Sheng Changan nodded slightly. Although she had doubts about Yuan Qi's ability, he had been very dedicated during this period.

There were fewer pedestrians on the street, and the woman's identity was too sensitive here. Sheng Changan turned around and went directly to Qiao Song's house.

It was still desolate. At this time, everyone outside was busy, but Qiao Song was still in the mansion. I didn't know whether he was willing or unable to get involved in the government affairs of the center.

"Why are you here?" Although he had never asked, their affair had become a hot topic here and no one was unaware of it.

Sheng Changan glanced at his frayed cuffs and smiled slightly, "We have nowhere to go."

Qiao Song pulled the corner of his mouth expressionlessly. "How can the county magistrate have nowhere else to go? Now you have declared war on the court. I have an old mother at home, I dare not take you in."

Sheng Changan chuckled, "So you think you can save your mother just by hiding here?" Her gaze stayed on the woman behind him.

Qiao Song rubbed his head and said, "Even so, taking you in would only bring trouble upon myself. I don't have any real power here and can't help you." He said the latter part sincerely.

Sheng Changan took a step forward and said, "I have some questions to ask you, while you are awake."

After much hesitation, Qiao Song finally agreed, "Come with me." He led the two to the empty study.

"What do you want to ask?"

"Do you have evidence that Liu Zhao is collaborating with the enemy?" Although she didn't have any expectations, she still asked.

"No, even if he contacted these people, it was only a one-way communication."

Sure enough, he had a backup plan. He would rebel in this name, and in the end he would definitely put all the blame on the current emperor of Jingguo.

"They look so different from the Han people, it's impossible that you didn't notice them. How did you let them get here?"

He was silent for a long time before he spoke, "I thought I had taken refuge with the Liu family. Liu Zhao was the only one who contacted me, so there was no evidence."

Shen Huaizhi was a little confused, "The Liu family instigated that dog emperor to kill so many loyal ministers, and you actually believed him?" Generally speaking, shouldn't we be wary?

"My family is different from the Shen family. The Shen family has had the merit of following the emperor since the founding of the country. Every generation has had a general, which is enough to shake the people's hearts and military strength of the court."

He paused before continuing, "I have nothing, and I'm running low on food, so I can only choose one person." He also considered Sheng Changan, but since it's located on the border, he didn't have the option.

But she also vigorously advocated that women should be appointed as officials and that men and women should be equal. He really couldn't accept it. He didn't expect that in the end he would be courting disaster. In an instant, his back became a little hunched.

Sheng Changan rubbed his fingers. The death intention in this person's eyes was too obvious, but not now. "You should know the laws of Guangping County. I can guarantee that your mother will stay in Guangping and enjoy her old age."

Qiao Song hesitated and asked, "What do you want?" No matter what the hidden story was, it was a fact that he gave up his wife and lived a miserable life. This gentleman did not seem like someone who would not mind this matter at all.

"I have a condition, but not now. In the near future, I need you to help me kill a group of people. Before that, I hope you can survive."

"After killing those people, whether you live or die will be up to you," Sheng Changan said with a smile.

This was the first time Qiao Song officially looked at this legendary person. Although she was smiling, he could clearly feel the murderous aura from her. "Okay."

The moment he agreed, she suddenly restrained her aura, but the sharpness between her brows was still there.

"Huaizhi, let's go!" Sheng Changan was satisfied. According to Yuan Qi, Qiao Song's fighting ability was very good.

Shen Huaizhi moved slightly. This was the first time she called him so intimately, so was she going to kill those people?

When he was about to leave the room, Qiao Song stopped him and said, "Sir, I see you are not an ordinary person. Don't you feel dissatisfied to be inferior to a woman like this?"

Shen Huaizhi turned around and said, "Have you forgotten? The founding emperor of Jingguo was also a woman, and without her, there would be no me today."

He was very sure that if his grandfather died, he didn't know what he would do. Blinded by hatred, could he have done what he has today?

Will he become like Liu Zhao, who only exists for revenge?

"You like this lord," he was very sure. He also thought the same of his wife. "If there comes such a day, you will not be afraid that you will no longer be able to participate in government affairs and can only stay in her harem, and perhaps you will be the only one."

Shen Huaizhi pondered for a second. "I am very sure that if the Lord likes someone, he will only like one person, and she is not the founding empress."

In her eyes, there is no difference between men and women, and she would never think of expanding her harem.

Although the founding empress had great achievements, she also had many romantic affairs. Not to mention the men in the harem, she would occasionally have a romantic affair with someone she liked when she went out.

But what she did did benefit the people, and perhaps because of this, several emperors who succeeded her also suppressed women a lot. To this day, there are almost no women serving as officials in the court.

All I can say is that Sheng Changan's existence is the right time, right place, and right people, and everything is just right.

Shen Huaizhi was very firm. "Although she advocated for women to serve as officials, she had no intention of suppressing men." She just felt that women in this era had suffered too much, and hoped that their destiny could be in their own hands.

Qiao Song lowered his head. Was he really wrong? If he had agreed when his wife mentioned Guangping County, wouldn't he have made such a mistake?

Seeing that he had no further questions, Shen Huaizhi turned around and left. He happened to see Sheng Changan talking to the woman. She stood facing the light, and the sunlight gave her a thin halo, like a god.

The god who saved him and saved the world, maybe she is not the original Sheng Changan, but in his eyes, she is just right. Even now, her heart has never changed.

She is dedicated to serving the people and has a clear goal. Although her appearance has changed a lot over time, she has become more and more like a superior and is more mature in handling things.

Seeing her waving, he walked over with a firm step, but she just walked out with him without any intention of asking, "Aren't you going to ask me what Qiao Song and I said in the room?"

Sheng Changan looked at him in surprise, a little confused. "If it's very important, you will naturally tell me."

She is not the kind of person who wants to get to the bottom of everything the people around her say to others. That would be so tiring!

Shen Huaizhi chuckled a few times, his eyes seemed to be filled with stars, "Your Excellency is right." Look, the monarch his father wanted to meet, he met.

Sheng Changan's ears were a little itchy from his laughter, and he just felt that he was inexplicably weird. "Now we have to find a place to hide."

When it came to business, he finally restrained his strange expression, and Sheng Changan breathed a sigh of relief. "The most dangerous place is the safest place. I want to continue to return there."

Shen Huaizhi thought thoughtfully, "This is the safest way at the moment," but it will definitely be more difficult to get in this time.

Sheng Changan pointed to the bag he was carrying and said, "Give me what's inside."

She found a slightly secluded place, took out a mirror, and carefully drew her face, especially her eyes.

The portraits of this era were not very good, but her eyes were indeed very distinctive, so it was her eyes that were changed every time.

Under the red makeup, she instantly became much more charming, not much different from the people in the brothel. Now all she lacked was a set of clothes.

"Come here." Sheng Changan gently lifted his chin. As for Shen Huaizhi, the first thing he had to do was cover his original skin and then modify his facial features.
