They say your illegitimate child is worthless, yet you rebel with seven wives?

"No matter your situation, even if you have an identity certificate, it won't work. Ordinary people simply cannot enter Wan Hai City..."

The soldier stationed there looked vicious and roared, "You're so disobedient, do you want to go in and rebel?!"

Upon hearing this, several soldiers stationed nearby came over, their expressions unfriendly.

Su Luo glanced at them and immediately noticed a hint of eagerness in their eyes.

Clearly, these stationed soldiers also yearn for military merit!

If Su Luo persists in his harassment, they will have an excuse to directly label him as a peasant attempting a rebellion...

They'll have done a great job then!

Su Luo's expression turned even uglier upon hearing this; he hadn't even considered this point...

Looking around, he saw that the defenses were tight, with more than a hundred soldiers on guard!

Even if Su Luo wanted to force his way in, it would be virtually impossible, let alone now that he has the Ye family's young lady behind him...

Taking a deep breath, Su Luo was about to say something when...

"Step aside!"

Ye Qingyou picked up the identity token representing the direct line of the Ye family and looked at the soldiers stationed there: "I am a member of the Ye family!"

"I've come to Wanhai City today to quell the rebellion and to assess the necessary supplies..."

Upon hearing this, the soldiers stationed there were stunned.

Looking at Su Luo and Ye Qingyou again... Su Luo was alright. Although she wasn't wearing any fancy clothes, she was neatly dressed and had an extraordinary air about her!

It's obvious at a glance that they probably come from a well-off family!

However, Ye Qingyou's tattered appearance hardly resembled that of a direct descendant of the Ye family!

The Ye family controls the Tianyun Chamber of Commerce and is one of the wealthiest families in Qingzhou!

How could someone from the Ye family have fallen into such a state?!

However, the soldiers stationed there could also tell that the token in Ye Qingyou's hand was genuine and not a forgery.

Ye Qingyou seemed to notice their questioning gazes and immediately said, "What do you know?"

“This is a matter of great importance. Our Ye family is worried that there might be rebellious bandits preventing us from investigating, so we have dispatched various small teams in…”

"I look disheveled because I'm trying to hide it!"

Upon hearing this, everyone was filled with awe and respect!

Because they were well aware that the Ye family would provide supplies to the imperial court during the war, what Ye Qingyou said didn't seem like a lie!

"With the adults present, we children are blind and ignorant..."

……

After entering Wanhai City.

The two dismounted, with Su Luo leading the horse and walking side by side with Ye Qingyou.

Su Luo looked at Ye Qingyou and said, "You are somewhat useful, but..."

Ye Qingyou proudly puffed out her chest, its vast hem almost dazzling. She wrinkled her delicate nose slightly and said, "Of course!"

"I only have a place in the Ye family because of my intelligence. If I weren't smart enough, I would have been kicked out by the matriarch of the family long ago, just like other illegitimate children..."

Ha ha!

Su Luo felt that this person was insulting him, but he didn't say anything. He simply said calmly, "But aren't you afraid that I might actually be rebelling?"

"If I really came here to rebel, then bringing me in is tantamount to committing a crime... Heh, you'll be beheaded!"

Upon hearing this, Ye Qingyou's expression froze instantly, and her eyes widened.

She really hadn't thought of that, and her voice trembled slightly as she said, "No, no way..."

"If you're here to rebel, why are you coming through the main gate?"

Su Luo calmly said, "Wanhai City is surrounded by the sea on three sides, and there is only one way to enter! The main gate is supposed to be guarded by so many soldiers, but it is actually the easiest place to get in!"

"Other places are probably heavily guarded right now..."

Hearing such a professional assessment, Ye Qingyou panicked even more. "You, you really came here to rebel?"

Su Luo smiled slightly, "Perhaps."

"What? Regret it?"

Ye Qingyou nodded subconsciously, then thought for a moment and immediately shook her head: "I, I didn't..."

"What could I possibly regret?!"

Ye Qingyou seemed to understand very quickly, and said, "I was saved by you, Brother Luo. If it weren't for you, I might be dead already..."

Even if you're a rebel, I still believe you're a good person!

Su Luo said, "Would good people rebel?"

Ye Qingyou pursed her lips and said seriously, "Does that mean that those who don't rebel are necessarily good people? By the same token, those who rebel aren't necessarily bad people!"

"I've long understood this within the Ye family. Many people have been driven to the brink by the imperial court... The taxes are so heavy, and the local officials aren't doing much..."

"Rebellion seems to be a fairly normal thing..."

As the two were talking, a shrill, angry roar suddenly came from ahead: "I am not anti-Party! I have not rebelled!"

A group of civilians were being escorted by several soldiers towards the government office!

The group of people, old, weak, sick, and disabled, looked utterly miserable, yet they still tried to defend themselves: "Please forgive us, gentlemen!"

"We really didn't rebel! We can't even afford to eat, how could we possibly rebel?!"

"We...we just want to go to the beach to find some seafood to eat...we've really been starving for too long..."

"Sirs, please, please spare me!!"

However, the stationed soldiers completely ignored them and sneered, "Who knows if you're going to the beach to deliver intelligence or to find seafood?!"

"Anyway, we've already told you not to go near the beach. You went near it... then you're traitors!"

Su Luo and Ye Qingyou watched the soldiers escort the civilians away. Su Luo remained expressionless, while Ye Qingyou opened her mouth, looking furious.

Because, as those soldiers left, they were still discussing things with smiles on their faces:

"Hehe, we've caught a few more fearless fools. Let's treat them as traitors..."

"Hehe, with these extra heads, we'll have more bonus money today, and we can go out for drinks and entertainment again!"

"These people rebelling and electing themselves here is a good opportunity...we can have a few more rounds of drinking and partying!"

Like Feiyun City, Wanhai City also has a main city and four towns!

The rebels are now concentrated in four small towns, while the people in the main city are suffering collateral damage...

If they did anything slightly wrong, imperial soldiers would come to arrest them and label them as traitors!

In this way, their heads would be valuable and could be exchanged for rewards...

That way, these officers and soldiers can go out and enjoy themselves!

Su Luo said, "What? Didn't you just say it yourself? Why are you shocked after seeing the truth?!"

Ye Qingyou lowered her head, unsure of what to say...
