Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Cheng Ling decided to do something big!

With the current situation, it was too difficult for them to find a safe place to stay.

Escape, escape, no matter how you want to escape, you should at least have a direction, right?

It was impossible to run aimlessly without end, as he would die of exhaustion on the way.

However, with the current situation of Qi State, such a stable place was too difficult to find.

Cheng Ling had even thought about it before. Since the south was so chaotic, why didn’t they just escape to the Wei Kingdom in the north?

The Wei Kingdom had already unified the north. Being a citizen of Wei State was definitely much better than being a citizen of Qi State.

Cheng Ling didn’t have any thoughts of being loyal to Da Qi just because she was a person of Da Qi. This was not her country. Her country was on the other side of the distant space and time.

After transmigrating to this strange time and space, was there any difference between Big Wei and Big Qi to her?

The only difference was that she now had the Qi State’s household registration paper in her hands, so she had a solid background. Even if they were refugees, they were still refugees with a registered residence.

However, if they fled to the Wei Kingdom, how would the Wei Kingdom treat the refugees from other countries?

This was hard to say. There was not enough known information, so it was not easy to speculate.

Cheng Ling felt that going to the Wei Kingdom was a possible path.

However, at the moment, the Wang Family could also be used as a clue.

If the governor of Yunchuan prefecture, Wang He, could defeat the rebellious king of Linhai, and if the rule of Qi State could still be maintained, then Chixia City would be a good destination.

Going to Red Cloud City, not only could she fulfill her promise to Wang He, but she might also be able to find a way out.

The only problem was that they had to be fast.

How could she be faster?

It was definitely impossible to walk on foot.

Cheng Ling pondered all the way. Under the cover of the night, she quickly passed through the desolate Lu County.

The darkness blurred the city’s ruins. There were no pedestrians on the streets, only an indescribable stench in the air, as if telling what the city had experienced.

Cheng Ling’s steps were light and fast, and the stars in the sky flickered. After a while, she was close to the east gate.

From here, it could be seen that the place with the brightest lights was not the east gate, but a large mansion about two hundred meters away from the east gate.

Cheng Ling stopped and observed for a moment. She could clearly hear the faint noise of music coming from the house.

The high walls surrounded the house, and there were a few soldiers guarding the gate. They held their weapons in a crooked way, but they didn’t look outside. Instead, they kept looking at the house behind them.

Someone said enviously, “Those brats inside are having a good time, damn it! We’ll be left here to feed the mosquitoes!”

As he spoke, he suddenly clapped his hands. Pa! He smacked a mosquito that had gotten close to his face to death.

Cheng Ling walked around and observed for a while. Then, she chose a position on the wall at the back of the house.

There was no one guarding the place, and the wall was about three meters high.

Cheng Ling didn’t even need the help of the grappling hook. She just jumped up, stepped on the wall with the tip of her foot, and then climbed to the top of the wall with one hand.

With a push of her right hand, she turned around and flipped from the outside to the inside of the wall.

After landing lightly, Cheng Ling directly sneaked toward the place where the sound was the most obvious.

When they passed by the area connecting the backyard and the third courtyard, Cheng Ling discovered that there was a large stable there!

Several strong horses were standing in the stable, seemingly unable to sleep due to the noise in front of them.

The two stablemen were sitting unsteadily by the stable, but they were obviously so tired that they had fallen asleep.

Cheng Ling’s heart skipped a beat, and she immediately remembered the stables’ location.

Very quickly, she continued to move forward.

After passing through multiple courtyards, Cheng Ling suddenly stopped behind a bush of flowers.

There was an open space in front of them, and in the middle of the garden surrounded by flowers, there were more than ten women in thin gauze screaming and running.

The red lanterns hanging high around them reflected their panicked expressions clearly and hazily, as if they had coated the world with a layer of absurd filter.

On one side, several musicians were playing the instruments, and the music was continuous.

In the midst of the accompaniment, a fat man with a black veil over his eyes stretched out his hands and groped around the group of women. He laughed foolishly and said, “Beauty! A beauty! Who stopped? Who stopped and got caught by me?”

“I’ll reward the one who was caught, a strong man! Who is it?”

“Who is it? I’m going to draw lots later, and I’ll use the hair of two-legged sheep. Whoever gets the longest hair will be the king tonight! Hehe, hehehe…”

“Old Xiang, could it be you?”

On the periphery of the empty space in the garden, there was a circle of soldiers in military uniforms.

These people were all tall and big. Some of them were standing unsteadily, some had lustful eyes, some had wretched expressions, and some had even thrown their weapons aside.

However, Cheng Ling secretly looked around from behind the flowers and trees and found that some of these people were obviously different from each other just from their standing postures.

Their postures were very stable, and their center of gravity was in a position where they could attack at any time. Clearly, they were all martial artists.

There was even one person whose temples were bulging. When he stood there with his arms crossed, his loose military uniform seemed to be unable to hide the muscles on both sides of his arms.

His fierce aura was particularly eye-catching.

This was an expert!

Cheng Ling’s eyes only briefly touched this person before she quickly looked away.

She was secretly shocked and didn’t dare to look at this person for fear that if she looked too much, he would sense something and expose her.

Cheng Ling thought to herself, “This is bad. I didn’t expect Commander Kang to have a few elites with him even though he’s an idiot.”

The elite troops did not guard the perimeter, but instead, they guarded Commander Kang closely. It would be difficult for Cheng Ling to kill him.

Cheng Ling thought for a moment and made a prompt decision. She turned around and quietly retreated.

She was nimble, and perhaps because of the music, she came and went without alerting anyone.

After Cheng Ling left the garden, she ran in the direction of the kitchen.

There were no patrols in the house, but occasionally, servants could be seen sweeping the ground in the night.

Cheng Ling carefully avoided these people. When she arrived at the kitchen, she found that there were only two servants guarding it.

But even if they were guarding, the two maidservants were absent-minded. The two of them leaned on the steps outside the kitchen and talked anxiously.

“My little son is starving to death. I’ve been working in the kitchen, but I can’t even get him a lunchbox,” one of them said.

One of them cursed, “That damned Kang bastard!” When he dies, I’ll burn paper offerings to him!”

The other one quickly covered her mouth, and Cheng Ling took advantage of the time when the two lowered their heads to sneak into the kitchen.

They searched quickly. A moment later, a fire rose high from the kitchen. When the smoke choked, The two maidservants screamed and ran down the steps in shock.

As she ran, she vaguely heard a voice in her ear, “Why aren’t you going back and escaping with your family?”
