She thought that since Song Yanzhi sent someone to inform her, she should be at the county government office. No matter what, they were good sisters, so it would be prudent to ask her in person what happened and what she thought before making any plans.

If Song Yanzhi and the others were planning a rebellion, he should have other thoughts in mind.

Xu Nian also nodded, with a hint of urgency in his eyes: "Yes, we have to go and take a look."

She was also eager to find out the truth. If Han Heming and Song Yanzhi really wanted to rebel, she would have to make a new decision.

For a general with a large army, a man who may become emperor, which side he stands on will determine his wealth and glory for the rest of his life, so he must make a precise decision at this time.

The two of them hurriedly packed their belongings and rushed to the county town in the carriage arranged by the maid.

Along the way, Cui Jingshu watched the scenery passing by outside the car window, her mind a tangled mess of thoughts. She had never imagined that the usually gentle Song Yanzhi and Han Heming could possess such astonishing courage and ability, capable of such an earth-shattering feat.

When they arrived at the county government office, Song Yanzhi and Han Heming were in the lobby with serious expressions. They were sitting around a large desk covered with maps and documents, whispering about the follow-up matters.

Seeing Cui Jingshu and Xu Nian coming, Song Yanzhi smiled and immediately put aside the things at hand and hurried to greet them: "Sister, Miss Xu, you are here."

Cui Jingshu stepped forward quickly, tightly grasping Song Yanzhi's hands, which were as delicate as white jade but warm and strong. His face was filled with anxiety and concern, and he couldn't wait to ask, "Yanzhi, I heard that you actually captured the county town! What exactly do you want to do by doing this..."

However, she stopped abruptly before she could finish her words, but everyone present knew the meaning of her unfinished words.

For a moment, the originally noisy lobby seemed to have pressed the mute button, and suddenly became silent, so silent that you could hear a pin drop.

A solemn and depressing atmosphere was like a thick dark cloud, hanging heavily on everyone's heart.

Song Yanzhi nodded slightly, her movements as gentle and natural as the breeze blowing across the lake.

Her beautiful face now showed an extraordinary calmness and composure, and her eyes were shining with an unwavering light.

She slowly raised her head, her eyes slowly sweeping over everyone in the hall, and then spoke softly in a calm and clear tone.

"Sister Cui, I'm sure you're well aware that the world is now in chaos and turmoil.

The common people are living in dire straits, suffering terribly and being tortured.

The reason why we chose to take such a risk and resolutely attack the county town was not out of greed for power and status or the satisfaction of personal desires.

It is because we really cannot bear to watch our fellow countrymen continue to suffer, living in fear and anxiety all day long.

Therefore, we have made up our minds to step forward and do our utmost to seek a stable and peaceful life for everyone, so that no one will have to endure unnecessary fear and anxiety. "

Cui Jingshu frowned tightly, his brows as beautiful as distant mountains, his face full of worry, and he spoke in a heavy and anxious voice.

"But this is ultimately treason! If it's exposed and the operation fails, the consequences will be unimaginable. This isn't a child's play; it's a matter of life and death, a matter of life and death! How could you take such a reckless risk?"

As she spoke, she shook her head gently, her beautiful eyes filled with deep worry and anxiety.

Just then, Han Heming walked slowly towards them with steady and powerful steps.

His posture was as straight as a pine tree, and every step he took seemed to carry a tremendous force.

After walking to Song Yanzhi's side, he stood steadily and spoke in a serious and solemn manner.

"Mrs. Cui, please rest assured. This is not an impulsive act. In fact, we have been planning and preparing for it for a long time.

Whether it is personnel arrangements, action plans or response plans for various possible situations, we have considered them very carefully and thoroughly, and can say that there is no room for error.

Furthermore, we have unwavering faith, immense strength, and capabilities, and believe we can successfully achieve our goal—to enable the people of this region to live a stable and peaceful life from now on, free from the suffering brought about by war."

As he spoke, his deep eyes flashed with an unwavering light, revealing a strength of determination that made it impossible to question.

Xu Nian listened silently at the side, his eyes rolling around, thinking secretly in his heart.

Song Yanzhi looked at Cui Jingshu with a sincere gaze and earnest words, then stepped forward and held their hands.

"Sister Cui, Heming and I know this matter is serious and the risks are extremely high, but we cannot bear to watch the people suffer. I hope you can understand and support us. If there are any difficulties in the future, we will bear them together."

Cui Jingshu was silent for a long time, sighed slowly, and looked into Song Yanzhi's eyes: "Yanzhi, since you have made up your mind, I just hope everything goes well for you. No matter what the future holds, we are sisters, and I will definitely protect this friendship." At this point, there is no point in saying more, she can only send her sincere blessings.

Xu Nian's heart was filled with joy, and a smile immediately appeared on her face. She said sweetly, "I hope that Master and Madam will succeed soon and bring peace to the people."

She had already made up her mind that if he followed Han Heming, he might be able to become successful and enjoy glory in the future.

Song Yanzhi and Han Heming looked at each other and nodded in unison: "Of course."

Han Heming felt it was inconvenient to have a female relative here, so he called out to the door, "Yanzhi, come and talk to Madam Cui and Miss Xu."

Song Yanzhi came in upon hearing the sound. Han Heming turned around and strode out, continuing to arrange many subsequent complicated matters.

Seeing Han Heming go out, Cui Jingshu took Song Yanzhi's hand.

Cui Jingshu held Song Yanzhi's hand tightly, her eyes filled with pleading and anxiety. "Sister Yanzhi, I really have no other choice. I would like to ask you to send someone to the border to deliver a letter to my General Chang."

She paused slightly, her lips trembling, and continued, "Or, at least help me find out. As long as I know that he is okay, I will feel at ease."

Her voice was choked with sobs, and her usual calmness and elegance had disappeared, leaving only panic in her heart.
