Chapter 1731: Full-level Boss Dressed As a Peasant Girl
Chapter 1731: General Huang Arrives
Shu Yu's expression changed slightly as she quickly stopped walking and retreated back into the alley, looking towards the source of the sound.
"What's happening?" Yuan Gui also became nervous.
Shu Yu wasn't sure, but she cautiously peeked out and after a while, a smile appeared on her face.
General Huang has arrived!!
Shu Yu looked at the grand procession ahead, with the person accompanying the county magistrate being General Huang.
This meant that the County Magistrate wasn't in his private residence, so Xia Yi didn't run into him.
Beside the county magistrate, there was a man dressed in heavy armor with his right hand resting on the hilt of his sword at his waist – that was General Huang. He wore an aura of sternness, merely nodding slightly as the County Magistrate spoke, without much change in his expression.
Shu Yu had seen this general before. When Gong Qiu was captured and the people of the capital were anxious, General Huang had assisted Prince Fifth in handling the matter, as he was Prince Fifth's confidant.
When Gong Qiu's subordinates attempted to disrupt the trial, General Huang had been guarding nearby.
Shu Yu finally understood why there were suddenly more soldiers at the city gates today – it was because of this.
General Huang's arrival was timely.
Shu Yu exhaled a breath and turned to Yuan Gui, saying, "That's General Huang, who's here to suppress the rebellion. It's in our favor. Let's go, we should deliver the food first."
After saying that, she started walking forward, but Yuan Gui remained motionless, staring directly at General Huang with a hint of vigilance on his face.
Shu Yu was surprised and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong? Is there a problem?"
Yuan Gui pointed in the direction of General Huang and said, "I see the person who shot an arrow at me last year." At that time, he had jumped off a cliff with Jiang Kuan Yu. Jiang Kuanyu had vines tied around him, and there were people waiting in the cave below.
When Yuan Gui was tightly holding onto Jiang Kuan Yu, someone in the cave had shot an arrow at him.
And now, that person was right in front of them.
Startled, Shu Yu hurriedly asked, "Who? The soldiers around the county magistrate?"
"No, not them. It's the person who's leading General Huang's horse."
Shu Yu quickly turned around and looked at the group of people again.
The person leading the horse was right behind General Huang, also dressed in simple armor. This person, clearly brought by General Huang, was someone who had assisted in rescuing Jiang Kuanyu.
Unexpectedly, this person was now beside General Huang.
Shu Yu tightened her lips, realizing that the situation was not favorable. With an insider present, General Huang might be at a disadvantage.
"Lu Xiangjun, since General Huang is here to quell the rebellion, isn't it dangerous for him to have someone from the black market with him?"
"Yes," Shu Yu's expression turned serious. "We need to find a way to alert him."
"How do we do that?"
Watching the County Magistrate following behind General Huang, and the people accompanying him, Shu Yu surmised that it would be difficult to get him alone to pass on a message.
After some contemplation, she withdrew her gaze. "Let's go, we need to find some assistance."
After saying that, she quickened her pace, and Yuan Gui followed suit.
He wasn't sure where Shu Yu was headed or whom she intended to find as assistance, until both of them stopped in an alley behind the County Magistrate's private residence.
Most doors nearby were closed. Yuan Gui was on guard when he heard faint footsteps behind them.
"Lu Xiangjun."
Shu Yu turned around and saw it was Lu Wu. As she handed him the basket in her hand, she asked, "Where's Xia Yi?"
