Following Zhang Bao back to the Yamen, Zhang Bao handed a letter to Huang Chenzhi.
After Huang Chenzhi read it, he was stunned.
"Sir, do you want to..."
"right!"
"From the moment I leave, this county will be handed over to you!"
Zhang Bao said calmly, his tone was very decisive.
This letter was sent by the rebels from Erlong Mountain.
It said that Su Xiaoyue was in their hands and Zhang Bao was allowed to go to Erlong Mountain alone.
Otherwise, they would chop off the head of the woman and the doll and throw them at the city gate!
After Zhang Bao received this letter, despite his worries, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
No matter where Su Xiaoyue is, there is some news after all. Compared with the suffering of not having any whereabouts, Zhang Bao has to go even if Erlong Mountain is a mountain of swords and a sea of fire.
"grown ups!"
"Now that we are out of danger, we might as well think of other ways to get my wife back."
"If you go there and are kidnapped by bandits, wouldn't we be even more..."
Huang Chenzhi hurriedly said to Zhang Bao.
Huang Chenzhi naturally understood what the rebels were thinking at once.
If Zhang Bao really went.
If they go ahead, they can imprison Zhang Bao and use this as a threat to make conditions with the county government.
If you retreat, you can take Zhang Bao hostage and attack the city. When the time comes, facing Zhang Bao and Su Xiaoyue in front, how can they shoot arrows wantonly?
"That's why I asked you to come."
"I have already informed you that when I go out, I will no longer be the county magistrate."
"It means nothing to them."
"That's it."
Zhang Bao waved to Huang Chenzhi.
Huang Chenzhi wanted to say something else, but looking at Zhang Bao's appearance, he could only give up and walked out helplessly.
Just went out.
Then I met Sun Ming and others who rushed in.
"Master Huang, I heard that you are going to Erlong Mountain!"
"You have to stop my lord!"
"If you go, sir, it may be in danger!"
Sun Ming said to Huang Chenzhi anxiously.
"Your Majesty has made up his mind, please don't disturb your Majesty anymore."
"Besides, I feel that your lord must have some plan. Although we lords are impulsive, we are by no means reckless."
"Just...you go back!"
"If you leave your post without permission and let the adults know about it, they will blame you even more."
Huang Chenzhi said to Sun Ming and the others.
Sun Ming and the others didn't have much hope at first. They were just worried about Zhang Bao and subconsciously wanted to stop him.
After hearing what Huang Chenzhi said, he had no choice but to walk back disappointed.
However, Huang Chenzhi had one more sentence to finish.
Although Zhang Bao is very resourceful, he does things recklessly whenever he encounters women.
Just like last time.
For a mere Ma Yaner, he actually killed the county magistrate in front of the county magistrate Chen Dadao.
This directly disrupted Chen Dadao's plan.
Huang Chenzhi naturally knows the secret to this.
But Chen Dadao's reaction made him feel that this Zhang Bao was definitely not a thing in the pool!
I hope that this time, I can think more carefully and it is best to escape unscathed.
After arranging matters at the county government.
Zhang Bao then stood up and headed towards Baoyue Tower.
During this time.
Lao He has been outside inquiring about Su Xiaoyue's news.
Ma Yan'er has been taking care of her at Baoyue Tower.
After hearing the news about Su Xiaoyue's disappearance, Ma Yaner always thought of going to the county government to accompany Zhang Bao.
But then the refugees attacked the city again, so we had to give up.
Ma Yan'er was packing vegetables in the backyard at this time. When she saw Zhang Bao come in, she quickly wiped her hands with her apron and stood up.
Zhang Bao looked at Ma Yan'er, who was dressed in cloth and had an apron tied around her waist. A few strands of her hair were wet with sweat and stuck to her forehead.
My hands were also red from being soaked in water for a long time.
Although Ma Yan'er is not the kind of delicate lady from a wealthy family, she had no worries about food and clothing at Ma Yuanming's place before.
Since she followed him, although she has no status, she still does what she should do.
A young lady can follow me so willingly, what else can she ask for?
Su Xiaoyue followed her through hardships all the way here.
Ma Yaner came together through life and death several times.
To Zhang Bao, these two women were full of debts.
At this time, he went to Erlong Mountain alone, his life and death unknown, and for a moment, he didn't know how to speak to Ma Yan'er.
"Why...why do you look so bad?"
"Sit down and rest for a while. I'll go take a look and get you something to eat."
Ma Yaner looked at Zhang Bao's face.
He stepped forward and touched Zhang Bao's forehead, took Zhang Bao's arm and sat down.
"Yan'er, no need."
"I have something I want to tell you."
Zhang Bao pulled Ma Yan'er who was about to walk away and said.
Ma Yaner sat down obediently.
Since Su Xiaoyue disappeared, Ma Yaner also put away her previous temper. No matter what Zhang Bao said or did, she remained quiet and obedient.
"There is news Xiaoyue."
Zhang Bao handed over the letter from the rebel army.
After reading this, Ma Yaner's face changed drastically.
"You want to go?"
"Then I'll go with you!"
"If we really can't save Xiaoyue, we may die together!"
Ma Yaner said without hesitation.
"I think your father was like this back then, but your father went into danger alone for the sake of the people in the city."
"I'm going now just for one person. I'm not as good as him!"
"Now that I think about it, your father is indeed a well-known man!"
"How can I be greedy for life and afraid of death?!"
"Xiaoyue must be waiting for me to save him."
"That's why I have to go!"
"Isn't it just a group of rebels? You don't have much ability if you try the same trick twice."
Zhang Bao smiled.
Ma Yan'er bit her lip tightly.
She had already made up her mind, even if Zhang Bao didn't let her go, she would definitely follow.
If Zhang Bao dies, Ma Yan'er's own life will be meaningless.
"Are you thinking that if I don't let you go, you will follow me secretly?"
Zhang Bao still knows Ma Yan'er's character very well.
Ma Yaner and Su Xiaoyue are the same.
On weekdays, they seem to be as gentle as water, but once something happens, these two women, one is tenacious and dares to fight, the other is impulsive and not afraid of death.
They are both extremely stubborn.
Zhang Bao was helpless.
Hearing that Zhang Bao touched her heart, Ma Yaner turned around and did not answer.
"I'm here today not just to tell you this, but I have an important thing for you to do."
"Uncle He is not here, so you are the only one who is most suitable."
"Whether Xiaoyue and I can escape smoothly depends entirely on you."
Zhang Bao gently arranged Ma Yaner's hair on her forehead and said.
