"No, I want to go back with you, and we must rescue our master!"

"Only our master knows half of this blueprint, and I only have half of it in my hands. If you don't hand it over to my master, this blueprint will be useless. It must be pieced together to see what's going on."

The old slave threatened the woman. The rain wet his clothes and there were water droplets on his face. He did not wipe it off, because he was worried about his master.

"Old man, who took your master away?"

"When His Royal Highness's people were taken away, they pretended to be your people and took my master away."

"People pretending to be us? Are they dressed like us?"

"Yes, the old slave read it right. There are quite a few people here. They received the news in advance. There must be a spy on your side, otherwise our master would not have been captured."

The woman didn't want to argue with the old slave anymore, so she took the man away with her.

On her way here, she was blocked, possibly by someone from His Highness. This Second Highness had always been at odds with them, so it was reasonable for her to interfere in this matter.

When Bai Wuyou arrived, there was no one in the house. Mo Jing could not see anyone. When he asked everyone, they didn't know their whereabouts.

"Where is your young master?"

"The young master and the old slave went out and haven't come back yet. They may come back later."

"Did you say where you were going?"

"No, the old slave drove the carriage there. No one knows where it is."

Bai Wu became melancholy and unhappy, and he was afraid that he would not be able to get this thing back.

"Which way did Mo Jing go?"

"The southwest is convenient. If you go there, it's raining outside, so you shouldn't have to go too far."

"That should be over there at the villa."

He immediately rode on horseback to chase her, not caring about the rain and the slippery road.

A few days later.

Mudan followed the sound to find rescue, but the enemy troops in the capital were approaching. These people disguised themselves as one of their own, trying to confuse their opponents.

They camped outside the capital. The capital was besieged and no one could get out. The incident happened so suddenly that not many people escaped.

The food and grass in the city was simply not enough to sustain the lives of so many people. Everyone saved food and tried their best to last until reinforcements arrived. Some of them tried to sneak out and were executed on the spot by the enemy.

On the city wall, they looked outside, lost in thought.

After a long time, the person next to him slowly spoke.

"Miss Pu, in your opinion, what should we do now?"

"The number of enemy troops is a hundred times greater than ours, and it will not do us any good to lose everything."

"Wait, we have sent people to ask for reinforcements. If we can survive for five days, we will win a great victory. If we cannot survive, we will die."

"What if we surrender?"

"City Lord, the winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. How do you think they treat prisoners of war? You are a person who has been on the battlefield. You know better than us. Surrender is more cruel than death."

Lingcuo shook his head and dismissed the idea of ​​the city lord. These people have no conscience and treat the surrendered enemy troops. They are afraid that they want to kill them all to avoid future troubles.

"Your Majesty, has the notice arrived?"

"All contact was cut off. Those who went out to deliver messages were all killed, and the birds were also robbed."

"Then we can only wait."

"There is another matter. The deployment plan of the city lord's palace has been stolen. This matter has not been announced yet."

He didn't feel sad at all, but smiled calmly.

"City Lord, can you still laugh?"

"The stolen drawings are fake because they were real and were destroyed long ago. They are all remembered in my mind."
