It's really hard to just farm peacefully.

Chapter 138

"Is this the outside of the mansion?" Aunt Wang had been in the governor's mansion for several years, and this was the first time she knew there was such a shortcut.

Chef Sun said "hmm" without explaining and continued to lead his men away.

Jiang Da looked back as he walked. Flames had already broken out in the governor's mansion, and there was commotion in several houses they passed by.

"Where are we going?" Jiang Da was a little worried that Jiang Yan would not be able to meet up with everyone.

"My home is in the outer city. I'll go there to take shelter first."

……

Inside the Governor's Mansion, Jiang Yan hurried to Fu's room and urged her to leave. The commotion was getting closer and closer to Cheng'en Pavilion. If they didn't leave now, it would be too late.

Jiang Yan held a hatchet in his right hand, and tied a wooden stick and a bundle behind his back, and ran wildly along the path with no forks.

After running for a distance and looking back, she saw that except Chunying and Yile could keep up with her, the other four including Fu Nulang were far behind.

Jiang Yan stamped her feet anxiously. If Miss Fu had been more enslaving to her, she would have been able to get rid of her and run away without any psychological pressure.

Fu Weixin rushed to Jiang Yan's side panting, and just as he was about to speak, Jiang Yan grabbed his arm and pulled him to continue running.

Jiang Yan was extremely grateful that Cheng'en Pavilion was close to the kitchen. She rushed into the woodshed with six people and saw the open hole at a glance.

Grandma Sun Yun and the others should have left first. Jiang Yan felt relieved and after confirming that it was safe outside the cave, he went out without saying a word.

"Jiang Yan..." Fu Weixin gasped, trying to stop the frightened Jiang Yan, "Let's go find the guards..."

Jiang Yan had already arrived outside the mansion. He looked around and found that the surrounding houses were all on fire. He directly pulled out Fu Nulang, who was still trying to persuade him.

Yile and a few others also came out one after another.

Chunying stood still and quickly observed the surroundings like Jiang Yan. She said with certainty, "This whole area is dangerous."

"Yeah." Jiang Yan agreed in a low voice.

When she ran back to the yard, she had only time to pull out the clothes she had worn in Dongshan Village and put them on. After running all the way, they were already falling off. After adjusting her clothes, she wiped her face with dusty hands.

The inner city surrounding the Governor's Mansion was not a safe place. Jiang Yan asked Chunying for her opinion: "Go north?"

Chunying weighed the options while applying dust to her face: "Okay."

The city of Heding Prefecture has four main gates. The west gate is close to the Qinshan Mountain Range. There are dense forests on both sides of the main road, and wild beasts occasionally appear. Although there are city walls to block them, ordinary people usually do not approach at night.

There are garrisons at both the North Gate and the East Gate. Outside the North Gate, there is an inland defense line to prevent the northern barbarians from moving further south, so the troops are more abundant and have an advantage in controlling the situation.

The riots occurred at the East and South City Gates. When they entered the city from the East City Gate, Jiang Yan had already seen the chaos in that area, so she stayed away from the South City Gate area, which Chef Sun mentioned was more serious.

Fu Weixin realized that the situation was too serious to wait for her to ask the guards for help, and she herself was very dependent on the protection of the maids. Therefore, when Jiang Yan and Chunying passed her and made the decision, she remained silent and just quietly followed them as they walked quickly towards the north.

From drilling out of the hole in the wall to determining the direction to leave, everything went extremely quickly.

Less than half a cup of tea after Jiang Yan and his group left, some servants of the governor's mansion who chose to hide in the woodshed discovered the hole in the wall and then crowded out.

The fire in the center of the city grew bigger and bigger, just like the flames outside the city yesterday, and was soon discovered by everyone.

In the temporary gathering places outside the three city walls in the south, north and east, the victims first sat up from the yellow earth and watched, and then stood up and watched.

Even the soldiers who were guarding the victims to prevent them from moving were distracted. Some of them had already settled down in the city and were inevitably worried.

As they watched, someone started to laugh out loud, "God has eyes, this is all retribution!"
