Fortunately, all the soldiers in the distance were calm and composed. No one dared to look back.

Gu Yiqing wrapped a piece of cloth around both of her feet before sending her back. This time, he didn't ride with her and instead led the horse like last time.

However, Gu Jinzhu's heart was in chaos. She didn't even dare to raise her eyes to look at the tall and straight figure in front of her. She couldn't forget the feeling she had just now.

When she returned to the Mayor's mansion, she found out that the guards had changed. She knew that the fire was only in the backyard, and nothing had happened.

Yun Xiang and Biwan were fine as well. The moment they saw her, they would pounce on her and cry non-stop.

When they woke up, the young miss had already disappeared. Fortunately, Xue Yi had sent people to protect them the whole time, so they managed to escape the sea of fire.

After half the night, Gu Jinzhu could no longer sleep. She lay on the bed and tossed and turned, thinking about the danger she was in just now. It must be the officials' plan to kill Gu Yiqing, they wanted to trap him in the backyard and burn him down.

It was obvious that the jungle had been ambushed. Gu Jinzhu shivered when she thought of the situation.

If this was a trap Gu Yiqing had set up a long time ago, then the burning of the backyard was within his expectations, but he still let himself live there. In order to confuse the enemies, in order to guarantee that nothing would happen to him, in short, he treated her like a 'chess piece', and she didn't dare to think any further …

Gu Yiqing became really busy after the night passed. He actually had the Emperor Token. He deployed the garrison troops from a nearby province to help him eliminate all the officials in Binzhou and took them all into custody.

Strangely, Third Prince had disappeared after that night.

Gu Yiqing opened up all the granaries in each county and began to prepare porridge. This time, the porridge was definitely different from the previous ones, it was cooked until it was thick and thick.

The rich local gentry had never colluded with the government. At this moment, they were all trembling with fear. Gu Yiqing waved his hand and was willing to donate money and grains to be exempted from the crime.

At this point, all the wealthy families opened up their warehouses and donated the large amount of food that they had previously accumulated. Countless silver coins were sent to the magistrate court, and Gu Yiqing's disaster relief went extremely smoothly.

He registered all the victims and arranged a place for them to stay. He sent soldiers to build houses and repair dams. He also organized all the doctors in the city to treat the poor and to rest in peace.

Gu Jinzhu brought the two girls and walked along the street. She almost couldn't believe that the lifeless city market a few days ago was now so lively.

The victims were lining up for porridge, the healers were treating the sick, soldiers were patrolling the streets, houses were being built up and everything was in order. The city that had been devastated by the floods had slowly returned to its former flourishing appearance.

Seeing that she was living in peace, and then thinking back to her journey here, she couldn't help but be moved.

For some reason, his mind would always recall that day when he had ascended to the peak of the mountain, his eyes held a trace of compassion. If that was the result, then his ruthlessness would not be so frightening.

Except for one thing, the walls were covered with notices. Ten days later, all the corrupt officials and those who had resorted to illegal means to profit from the disaster were beheaded at the entrance of the market.

The citizens gathered in front of the notice and were discussing it. Some were clapping their hands in excitement, while others were sighing at the lightning fast speed of the messenger. Some were waiting to watch the show, but Gu Jinzhu was unable to see the rain of blood in ten days.

Three days later, she was escorted by Gu Yiqing and officially embarked on the road back to Shengjing.

It was drizzling and drizzling. Just like when they first arrived, the area around their eyes was filled with green and filled with life.

This time, the journey was naturally different from before. Xue Yi brought along a team of soldiers to personally escort her. She was riding an oily cart with green curtains, white orchids, black zhennan wood, and a magnificent and low profile.

It was a gift from a rich family. The interior of the car was covered with a thick brocade, and there were all kinds of snacks and snacks.

At this moment, her condition was many times better than before and there was no danger. Gu Jinzhu, however, was depressed. Gu Yiqing was too busy with work and he didn't even send her off. This made her suddenly feel relieved, but also a trace of indescribable disappointment.

After that night, they never saw each other again. Good.

Gu Jinzhu crushed a rose and watched as the bright red juice stained her fingertips. She then recalled the blood on his body that night.

She was about to return to the capital, so naturally, she forgot about all of this. However, her heart was in a mess and she could only see a figure, but it was like the wind blowing past Qing Shui, causing him to be unable to calm down.

However, she couldn't say this kind of thing, neither could she get close to Biwan. That touching was a taboo, with an indescribable sense of shame. She could only bury it deep in her heart.

Half a month later, they entered Shang Jing City.

The capital city of the Grand Xia Empire was bustling with activity, and it was bustling with noise and excitement no matter what.

Gu Jinzhu sat in the car, listening to the crowd outside.

She quietly lifted the curtain of thin blue silk and looked out.

There were rows upon rows of shops on both sides of the broad and flat limestone road. Restaurants, fabric shops, gold and silver jewelry stores, shops that sold rouge and cosmetics, shops that sold all kinds of snacks, everything.

Compared to the exquisite and exquisite nature of Jiangnan, the Shengjing was undoubtedly more graceful and grand. A continuous stretch of red walls and green tiles, and faintly discernible corners of buildings in the distance;

Amongst the three of them, Biwan was undoubtedly the most excited. She leaned against the window and looked forward to it, her face full of excitement. She couldn't help but exclaim, "Quickly look, Miss! There's a person pinching mud! Ah, it really looks like that!" "The steamed buns at that house are so fragrant …"

Gu Jinzhu smiled and did not restrain herself. Ever since their trip to Binzhou, it was rare for her to be this excited.

Yun Xiang was a little helpless as she said, "Stop looking. Hurry up and help this lady pack up. We're about to enter the mansion …"

When Biwan heard this, she hurried over and helped Yun Xiang redo Gu Jinzhu's makeup.

Yun Xiang knew that those people on the Gu Mansion were all juniors that stepped on the lower echelons of the clan. She did not want the young miss to be looked down upon in the first place.

She took out a dark green and silver silk dress with the pattern of a butterfly. She combed Gu Jinzhu's hair back from its bun and wore a pair of golden silk colored butterflies embroidered with chrysanthemum. She looked very refreshing and dignified.

The carriage passed through a few streets, and someone came to pick them up. It was the servant of Gu Mansion who came to welcome the young miss back to the house.

Gu Jinzhu knew that the first part of the Blood Cloth had already sent a letter, so Gu Mansion knew that today, Blood Cloth followed Gu Yiqing's orders and escorted her all the way to Gu Mansion.
