”But Empress, even if Zhi Lan can't stop the Empress, we have to give it our all!”

Just now, Hu Xiao did not even kneel down and had already been helped up by Zhi Lan, but the meaning behind her words did not change at all.

”Come out.”

It could not be, that Hu Xiao happened to be at the side of a deserted and dilapidated temple, so she brought Zhi Lan to enter, and after a while, she suddenly spoke.

Even though she was standing in the abandoned temple, with someone following him from behind, Hu Xiao still maintained a calm demeanor, as if she was not afraid of anything at all.

After Zhi Lan heard Hu Xiao's words, she anxiously stood in front of Hu Xiao, and looked outside the entrance of the temple with caution.

”Empress, you have keen ears and sharp eyes. You actually found the two of us so quickly. This one truly admires you.”

When the previously cautious Zhi Lan saw the person in front of him, she finally relaxed.

”Haha, didn't I tell you not to follow me at the yamen?” ”Why?”

Hu Xiao looked at Yin Fufeng and said with a smile. She had thought that she had made things clear, but she did not expect the two people to still follow him.

Seeing that, Yin Fufeng did not feel embarrassed at all. Looking at Hu Xiao and Hu Xiao's expressions and what Zhi Lan had just said, she knew that Hu Xiao and her master was definitely not here for a stroll! Furthermore, she had already wandered outside the city!

”The safety of Empress is our top priority. Now that Empress has left the city, I'm afraid that she will be in danger. This humble subject and the General Zhao must follow him.”

Hu Xiao sighed, she already knew that they would not throw her off so quickly, but she had to do something that would alert the enemy if there were too many people.

”Hehe, it's just that I can't stay at the Sui City, and came out to wander around. Why is it that even you guys have to do this?”

It was now impossible to leave.

”Since it's like this, it's better for Empress not to wander around outside. After all, Empress is naturally clear about the current situation of the Sui City, so it's best for us to return early.”

Zhao Qiyan anxiously said.

Seeing that the three of them were looking at Hu Xiao, Hu Xiao smiled slightly, but just as she was about to speak, she was stopped by a group of people.

”Who is it!?” This broken temple is our territory, you came here, quickly leave! ”

A group of ragged clothed people were supporting each other as they walked in, but when they saw the few people inside the temple, their eyes changed a bit.

No one had ever shouted at Zhao Qiyan like this before, especially when there was a Empress amongst them, how could a Empress with East Court be taught a lesson by this group of people!

Just as he was about to speak, he was stopped by Hu Xiao.

”No worries, let's go.”

Judging from the clothes these people were wearing, they should be the victims. They must have no homes, yet they gathered here because of this. Perhaps it really was them taking over their land.

Hu Xiao did not speak to the victims who were chasing them away viciously just now, and only turned around and walked out of the door. The group of people did not make things difficult for them when they saw the four of them being so obedient, and only watched as they left.

Initially, they were still wondering if Hu Xiao was still going to continue on the path she had just taken, but after seeing Hu Xiao walking towards the city, they did not say anything else and followed behind him.

They had originally thought that they would be able to return to the residence smoothly, but as soon as they entered the city gates, they saw a scene that caused them to be rather shocked.

”Three pieces of silver for a bowl, three pieces of silver for a bowl.”
