Chapter 1824: If she could stand aside and watch, she would not be
The old lady left later.
Her tears made Gu Yunxi deeply feel the powerlessness and despair of being an ordinary citizen.
After the old lady went back to rest, Gu Yunxi looked at the mute slave and Nangong Chu and said, "Go to bed early. You have things to do tomorrow."
The mute slave quickly lay down without making a sound, and was very obedient.
Nangong Chu tossed and turned, unable to sleep. Finally, he sat up and said, "Xi'er, I want to go to the government office to take a look."
"That place is now full of thieves, and it is heavily guarded inside and outside. I will discuss this matter with Qi Nian tomorrow and then see what to do."
They had just arrived and were unfamiliar with the place and the area around the government office.
If we go there rashly at this time, we might alert the enemy and affect the overall situation.
Nangong Chu was furious: "The world is unfair, these people are cruel and inhumane, they are all inhumane! Sooner or later, they will be crushed to ashes."
Gu Yunxi was lying on the bed, but she was actually feeling uneasy.
She knew that she shouldn't act impulsively, but she felt sad when she thought about her aunt's daughter still in those people's hands and who knew how cruelly she was being treated.
In addition to the old lady's daughter, I'm afraid that countless other girls were taken away.
I noticed that the old man’s legs were not very healthy before, and I don’t know if it was because he was beaten like that while trying to protect his wife and daughter.
Southern Xinjiang is in chaos. There is no law or rules. Bandits are everywhere, and the people are always the ones who suffer.
She didn't know how long she rolled on the bed, but finally, she couldn't help but sit up.
"I'm going to talk to Qi Nian."
Nangong Chu knew it. How could she sit still knowing such an unfair thing happened?
The one who can sit still is not her, Gu Yunxi.
Nangong Chu also immediately got up and planned to go out with her.
However, the mute slave beside him did not move at all.
"He... fell asleep." Nangong Chu said in a low voice.
This person is really heartless. After hearing such a sad thing, he can still sleep so peacefully.
"He must be tired after traveling for days. Let him sleep." Gu Yunxi got off the bed carefully.
Nangong Chu did not wake up the mute slave and was careful not to pull his quilt.
The two of them groped their way out overnight.
Unexpectedly, there was still a candle lit in Mu Qinian's room, and he and Yang Yi were not asleep either.
There was a topographic map on the table. When Gu Yunxi and Nangong Chu walked in, they were studying the topography of the town.
"There are three small towns south of Wujiang. The town in the middle is the largest. Most of the bandits should be concentrated in that town now."
"The town we are in now is called Nanyi. It is the smallest of the three towns. However, the news in Southern Xinjiang is too isolated, so it is still unclear how many people there are in this town."
Gu Yunxi walked to Mu Qinian's side and also looked at the topographic map: "The information network of the four seas has not yet been launched in southern Xinjiang. There are many places in southern Xinjiang that we have no information about."
"Why aren't you resting yet so late?" Nangong Chu looked at Mu Qinian.
Before Mu Qinian could speak, Yang Yi lowered his voice and said, "The girl of this family... Alas, she was taken to the government office. After hearing this, how could the young master sleep well? The people are suffering and being oppressed, but we just stand by and watch... What about you? Why did you come here suddenly?"
Didn't we agree to discuss it tomorrow? Now, it was already midnight.
Nangong Chu let out a sigh and said helplessly: "Madam's daughter was also taken to the government office."
