Someone brought hot water outside the house, and Yun Xiang served Jinzhu as she washed up. Biwan cleaned up the room again, then ran out to the carriage to bring up the bedding she had prepared.

As soon as she stepped out of the room, she saw a cold servant dressed in black standing by the door like a god. She turned her head to look at her when she heard the sound.

Biwan's heart skipped a beat when she saw the cold eyes filled with silent oppression.

Today, she was frightened by that gaze full of killing intent. She faintly felt that this person was so terrifying.

She was afraid, so she didn't dare to go past him.

The black clothed man glanced at her and asked, "What are you planning to do?"

His voice was rough, just like his men.

Biwan jumped in fright. She braced herself and stammered, "I …" I'm going down to get something. "

The man in black paused for a moment before turning his body to the side.

The corridor was narrow, and if she wanted to go, she would have to pass by his side. Biwan hesitated for a moment before she slowly walked towards him.

The closer she got, the more she seemed to be able to feel the ice-cold aura coming from that person. She was anxious and slowly stepped forward like a squirming rabbit.

After walking down the stairs with great difficulty, she heaved a sigh of relief and quickly ran to the side of the carriage to take down the brocade bedding that had been prepared with Yang Family. She was startled just as she was about to turn around.

Biwan's heart skipped a beat. The blanket in her hands almost fell to the ground. The man reached out to grab the bag and asked, "Is that all?"

She was stunned for a long time before she realized that he wanted to help her carry the items. Her face instantly flushed red as she stuttered, "No …" "No more."

The man turned around and left without another word. It was as if he was holding the big package lightly in his hand. Biwan patted her chest and followed closely behind.

Gu Jinzhu lay on the bed, her entire body aching painfully. In the end, she was Lady Jiao who had never been out before. She just couldn't stand the time of the day.

Yun Xiang was massaging her arms for her. When she saw Biwan carrying a blanket in, she couldn't help but ask curiously, "What's wrong?"

Biwan blushed and pouted. "It's nothing."

But in the end, he couldn't help but mutter, "The person San Ye brought was so fierce. He kept guarding the door, not letting anyone in or out."

Jinzhu's heart skipped a beat. Today, she was a bit frightened. When the servant in black, Chen Yunze, attacked viciously, and more importantly, she saw the killing intent in his eyes.

If it wasn't because of Gu Yiqing's words, she believed that this attendant would have really taken Chen Yunze's life at that moment!

This kind of knowledge made her tremble in fear. No matter how weak Chen Yunze was, he was still a fifth-grade Grandmaster. Furthermore, he was the young Top Scorer of Jiangnan.

Moreover, this person's eyes were cold and merciless, like an unsheathed sharp sword. The killing intent on his body was so dense that it seemed almost real, more like a person who had gone through countless bloody battles on the battlefield, how could he look like an ordinary servant?

With this kind of subordinate, how could Gu Yiqing be simple?

Moreover, the grandeur he exuded was not in the slightest related to the person in her memories who did not have anything to do with the Gu family.

Her thoughts raced, and she was relieved to think that he had ordered his attendants to stand guard at the door, presumably for their safety.

Yun Xiang couldn't help but reprimand Biwan. She was still young, and her mouth was open. She was afraid that she would cause trouble for the Miss, so it could be considered as having her life on the line.

Biwan was also a smart person. After getting scared, she didn't dare to speak carelessly again.

The waiter brought them food, so there was no need to be fussy when they were away. The three of them hastily took a mouthful and rested.

Jinzhu slept in the inner room while Biwan and Yun Xiang slept in the outer room.

It was probably her first time going out, so she couldn't fall asleep no matter what. The moment she closed her eyes, she immediately thought of Chen Yunze's miserable state during the day and her heart felt heavy.

She gently sat up, and the shadows of the trees outside the window began to flutter. From the outside, the sound of the two girls' breathing could be heard. It was obvious that they were fast asleep.

She slipped out of bed, went to the window, and gently pushed it open.

A refreshing and moist air assaulted his face, causing him to feel refreshed in an instant.

Because it was a cloudy day, there was no moonlight. There was only the rustling of the wind as it brushed against the trees, and the sounds of their conversation could be heard.

She was slightly startled.

Perhaps it was because it was too quiet at night, but the words were heard so clearly. A cold male voice asked, "Master, tomorrow we're going south. There's a flood happening in Binzhou, and it's chaotic. Is it too dangerous to bring Eldest Miss over?"

Then, a voice as cold as broken jade came out. It was the newly acquired Third Uncle, Gu Yiqing.

"So what? We don't have much time, so we can't possibly send her back home! "

"But …" "It's too chaotic over there. If something happens to Eldest Miss, State Duke's side …"

"Hmph."

Gu Yiqing sneered, "Do you think that Brother is not clear about the situation over there? Since you know what I'm doing here and that the mob is causing trouble, you should just casually let me pass by to pick up this daughter of yours. As for whether I can go back or not, who do you think would care? "

His voice was light and indifferent, yet it pierced Gu Jinzhu's heart like an icicle. In that instant, she felt chilled from head to toe.

Binzhou... Easier said than done.

"Yes."

Bring it in?

Gu Jinzhu gripped the window frame tightly, not even noticing the pain in her palm.

Binzhou was located in the south of Linan, a thousand miles away from here. It was situated at the junction of the two great rivers, the Ze River and the Dam River.

Although the land is fertile and the Toyota is a thousand miles away, the land is low and prone to water.

A month ago, there had been a torrential downpour for more than ten days, triggering a flood, and the local prefect was greedy for the treasury. He had used furs and leaves to fill a sandstone bag to build a dam.

Unexpectedly, the counties and prefectures surrounding Binzhou were in a state of chaos. The slogans were extremely resounding, but for some reason, not a single grain of rice had been sent to the disaster area, and after the flood disaster, a large number of people had been starved to death.

As for the surrounding counties, they were also afraid of implicating the victims within their own districts, so they refused to open the city gates. They refused to place any of the victims into the city.

The people were not willing to be starved to death, so a great disturbance broke out, and they risked their lives to get in.

The mob forcibly stormed the city. After entering, they would smash the government and burn down the officials to rob others. It was simply a place where bandits ran rampant.
