Chapter 501: Chapter 501: Besieged on All Sides (Part 10)

Liu Sisi and Di Cheng quickly headed straight to the narrow pass.

When they reached it, Liu Sisi saw countless people gathered around it, all whispering and pointing inside.

Liu Sisi stopped the carriage and lifted the curtain to look towards the narrow pass.

Due to the distance, she could only see many soldiers officers collecting several corpses. There was even a governmental runner holding a severed arm, waving it and talking to some other officers.

“Oh…ugh!”

Some people standing amongst the crowd couldn’t bear to watch any longer and began to retch.

Liu Sisi stretched her neck to take a closer look, and to her surprise, spotted Zuo Xingyu amongst the crowd.

Although she didn’t like him, since it was a critical time, she naturally wouldn’t joke about Di Yelei’s safety! She quickly got out of the carriage and walked towards him.

“Big Sister! Big Sister, you’re pregnant! Don’t go there, or something bad might happen! Big Sister…”

A married woman with a foreign accent hurriedly grabbed her arm.

Liu Sisi turned her head and smiled at the woman, “Eldest Sister, don’t worry, I’m just going to find someone.”

As she spoke, she tried to brush off the woman’s grip.

Unexpectedly, the woman tightened her hold, “Oh! I say, Big Sister, are you okay? Did you offend someone? There’s nothing good inside. Just go back, your stomach is so big! You should think about the child in your belly. Hurry back, and don’t go in.”

Several other women nearby also joined in, trying to persuade her.

“Indeed! Madam, your current situation is no ordinary one. If anything were to happen, what would we do? Just take a look from afar and leave.”

“Don’t go any further. Even if you want to go into the city, it doesn’t have to be right now. It won’t be too late to go tomorrow…”

Hearing the multiple voices around her, Liu Sisi thought they made sense, stopping her intention to go there.

“Since that’s the case, I won’t go over there. Thank you all for your concern.”

Liu Sisi smiled and exchanged greetings with them before returning to her carriage.

She turned her head and took another look at Zuo Xingyu, then commanded Di Cheng, who was acting as her tail, before getting into the carriage.

Di Cheng nodded, hurriedly walked forward with his mouth covered with a sleeve, and greeted Zuo Xingyu. He then pointed at Liu Sisi’s carriage, spoke a few words, and then retreated with a fist salute.

Zuo Xingyu turned around, said something to a few people around him, and then walked over to Di Cheng.

When he reached the edge of the crowd, people instinctively stepped aside, making a clear path for Zuo Xingyu.

His eyebrows were still tightly furrowed, the deep character-like lines nearly connecting both eyebrows.

He didn’t stop due to the crowd’s fear but walked steadily to Liu Sisi’s carriage before greeting her with a fist salute.

“Greetings, Madam.”

Instead of getting out of the carriage, Liu Sisi lowered the curtain, blocking the view between Zuo Xingyu and herself.

From inside the carriage, she apologized, “Constable Zuo, since I’m feeling unwell, I won’t get off the carriage. Please don’t take it personally.”
