The Story of a Destitute Noblewoman Farming

"Your Majesty, the city gates have been blocked by them. After investigation, I found an abandoned shack in the north of the city. There is actually a dog hole. We cannot fall into their hands. The only way to survive is to escape."

The regent's subordinates reported back that the regent had disheveled hair at that time, and the palace maids and eunuchs heard that as long as they voluntarily left the city and surrendered, they would not be harmed, so they surrendered and ran away.

"I am flexible and adaptable. A mere dog hole is nothing. We were able to escape then, and we can escape now. Once we leave, we will find the Tatars. With their support, we will not be defeated."

The regent, his son, and his men changed into civilian clothes and took advantage of the chaos to run to the dog hole.

Lu Zhan and Yun Can were guarding the city wall at this moment. As most of the people in the city surrendered and ran out from the south gate, there were not many people here. The other soldiers ran to one place to look at the surrendered soldiers or civilians, and only the two of them were still here.

"Hey, Yuncan, look, is there someone coming out over there? They can obviously walk out of the city gate openly, so why did they go through the dog hole?" Lu Zhan was draining the water when suddenly a person came out from the other side.

"That's definitely not normal. I think they're trying to escape secretly. They might be some high-ranking officials who are afraid of being beheaded. Let's not panic for now. Let's see if anyone else comes out. There should be more than one."

The two hid in a corner and observed secretly, and sure enough, a middle-aged man soon came out.

"That guy looks so familiar to me, he seems to be that old bastard of the Regent."

"Really? He actually wants to escape. This old guy is really not giving up. I see another kid coming out. Let's go and catch them." Fearing that calling for help in advance would expose these people, the two men grabbed their weapons and rushed forward immediately.

"Don't run. Where are you running to? Where are you from? Why don't you go through the city wall?" As soon as Lu Zhan said this, Yun Can, who grew up with him, guessed that he was pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger. In addition, the two of them were young, so the regent was not on guard.

"Oh, young general, we are civilians in the city. We heard that people outside the city were going to attack us, so we lived here. The city gate was too crowded, and it happened to be close to this dog hole, so we had no choice but to leave here. Don't worry, we are really good citizens and have done nothing bad."

When the Regent's men saw the two little brats, they were originally prepared to kill them, but they were worried that they would attract more people, so they thought of fooling them.

"I see. Do you have your household registration with you? Show it to me for inspection. You are all civilians. We will not kill you."

"Okay, okay." The subordinate and the regent looked at each other, and both of them were ready to pick up their weapons.

However, Lu Zhan and the others were one step faster. After they approached and confirmed the man's identity, they took out their weapons and stabbed the two men in the arms.

"Humph, you dare to lie to your Grandpa Lu? Do you really think I don't know you?"

"Help, the Regent has escaped from here, come and help!" After stabbing the man, Yun Can shouted loudly. After a while, the soldiers who were checking the civilians on the other side heard the sound and ran over immediately.

Seeing that they acted so quickly, the child swung the dagger in his hand towards Lu Zhan, but Lu Zhan had already prepared for it. After kicking the Regent to the ground, he directly used his gun to deflect the child's dagger. Yun Can stepped forward and stepped on him.

"Hey, there really are three people running away! Come on, catch them first. I just heard you say this is the Regent. Doesn't look like him? Why is he wearing civilian clothes?"

"Of course they want to escape, but are afraid of being discovered by us. Look, isn't the regent's belly so big and fat? He wasn't like this before. He must have gotten fat by eating the people's money." Lu Zhan pointed at his belly.

"Really? You two guys are so lucky! You actually captured the most powerful official! Pah! It's these people who made us fight for so long. We were starving while they were eating their fill!"

They all knew that Lu Zhan was someone personally arranged by General He. His father was a general who died in a battle with the Tatars. He was still young and had made a great contribution. He had a bright future ahead of him.

Soon, He Yue personally brought people to verify the identities of the people and confirmed that the three people were the regent, the regent's youngest son, and his adviser.

"Put them in solitary confinement and bring them back to the northwest to be dealt with by the Emperor. Lu Zhan, is this the person you captured?"

"General He, Yun Can and I captured them together, and then the other brothers came to help capture them, which is why we prevented them from escaping."

"Very good, I will report this matter to you and write down their names." He Yue said to the person behind him who was responsible for recording the merits, and took the three people away.

"So, we also have a contribution, Lu Zhan, thank you for your help. We will be brothers from now on. If you can send us more food, then I can go home and comfort my mother."

Several people gathered around Lu Zhan and Yun Can and said happily that this was the greatest achievement. Lu Zhan could have not mentioned it in particular, but he said this to indicate that he intended to share the credit with them as well.

"We are brothers, and now we can finally relax. The Regent's men have been arrested, and we will be able to go home soon. I have been away from home for more than half a year, and my sister and brothers and sisters are waiting for us to return home."

"Yeah, I can finally go home. I haven't been home for more than a year. I don't know how things are going at home."

All of a sudden, everyone was infected by homesickness and began to miss their family members.

Lu Linlang had not received the news yet. She was leading Dahua and the others to industrialize the process of movable type printing. If it were just a few of them, they would not make much money even if they invented it. However, with her financial support, they could naturally make more.

However, this is a great thing that benefits the country and the people. Dahua took the initiative to propose to present the movable type printing to the emperor so that everyone in Daqi can enjoy the convenience of reading.

"Are you really willing to give this movable type printing to the emperor?" Lu Linlang was very surprised by her open-mindedness. After all, she thought Dahua would be willing to use this method to make more money.

"Yes, I am willing. I heard that the emperor is also short of money. The war will cost a lot of gold, silver and food. Now she is still at odds with those ministers. Even if it is the emperor, those people will definitely have a lot of complaints because of her identity as a woman. I want to lend a hand to the emperor."

Dahua said seriously that she sincerely hoped that more people could read, and secretly she hoped that women from other places could also read and know the knowledge in books, instead of being trapped in the inner house and only able to think about the daily necessities of life.

"Okay, Dahua is very courageous. Then you write a letter to the emperor yourself, and I will write another one and send them to the emperor together."

"I'll write it right away. I was really reluctant to let the emperor go after he left, but I'm just a little village girl now. How could I dare to marry an emperor? Now that I've achieved a little success, I dare to write to the emperor."

Dahua stayed with the emperor for a long time. Her sister suddenly became a princess and then became the emperor. She couldn't adapt at all, but she still hoped that she could live a good life.
