Qin Jing assessed the situation and feared that the Huang residence might be in danger and the Duke's family might be lost.

Therefore, he disobeyed his superior's orders and decided to secretly leave with his family ahead of schedule.

What could they do? At this moment, like birds startled by the mere twang of a bow, Xiao'e and the others were filled with extreme fear.

Wouldn't that be delaying and wasting time?

Time waits for no one.

Qin Jing had no choice but to speak his mind.

Judging from the situation, Yu'e, together with Uncle Xue, had actually discussed the matter in detail over the past day and night.

He could only sigh, for he knew nothing of what was happening in the outside world, and could only remain saddened at home.

Now that Qin Jing has spoken frankly, I am still worried and anxious, but hesitation will only lead to trouble.

Before the major crisis collapsed, Xiao'e gritted her teeth and made up her mind to do as she was told.

It was just a foolish and desperate measure, forced upon him by Jingyi's obstruction and pleading.

"Ah, this"

"Well, okay, alright."

"Thank you for your trouble, General."

Upon closer inspection, Qin Jiang's face exuded righteousness and good looks. Xiao'e, whose mind was pure, readily agreed and compromised.

Upon hearing this, Qin Jing suddenly understood and urged them on, speeding up their work.

"Okay, okay, it's alright."

"Let's go, we can't delay, let's get right to it."

Can!
The closer you get to the crucial moment, the less likely things will go as planned!
Just as they were descending at this very spot, suddenly, the sounds of a cavalry caravan rushing about arose outside.

At this critical moment, the sudden commotion caused everyone in the Huang residence to hold their breath and break out in a cold sweat.

Stunned and horrified, the group of people in front of the door were so stunned that they missed taking a picture.

They all wanted to prick up their ears as high as possible.

As the galloping horses approached, Jingyi, who was only focused on getting ahead, thought of things in a positive light.

“Hey, horses, a horse team is coming. Could it be Brother Xiao returning?!” Xu Jingyi exclaimed in surprise.

However, at this juncture, Xiao'e's face clearly looked more embarrassed and pale, and she hesitated to speak, unlike her usual self.

Qin Jing, who shared the same fear, realized that things were not going well and quickly clasped his hands in a fist salute.

"Madam, please wait a moment. I will go and take a look, and return quickly."

After speaking, he flung his robe and hurried to the gate of the house.

He had just stepped out of the house when he came across the threshold.

Da da da--

A troop of imperial guards cavalry indeed stopped in front of them.

The leading junior officer reined in his horse, refusing to dismount, as he was solely responsible for relaying orders from his superiors.

"Report——"

"Qin Jing, is Commander Qin here?" The man, mounted on his horse, shouted, displaying an overbearing and domineering demeanor.

Upon hearing this, the Qin general immediately frowned.

Having no other option, he could only make a sound to find out what was going on.

"Here it is."

"What's all this commotion about?" Qin Jing retorted curtly, clearly showing his impatience.

"Commander Qin, orders have been given to quickly find a unit of Qin Jing's troops and rush to the North Pass to defend against the enemy."

“There are rebel troops entering the city. Quickly assemble your troops and head to the north of the city to intercept them.”

"There must be no mistakes!"

Unexpectedly, the messenger was not friendly at all. Upon hearing that it was Qin Jing, he rode forward two steps, clasped his hands, and gave the order.

Upon hearing this, Qin Jing's expression changed. Because it had ruined his previous plan, he hesitated, his mind racing, unsure of what to do.

"Uh, this"

"Young man, do you know who issued this order?"

"Lord Liu, perhaps..." he said, his tone slightly laced, trying to find a possible opening.

However, it was clear that the man on horseback was unwilling to compromise, and he glared at them coldly, shouting and making a scene.

"Ha, I am a lowly official, my orders are strictly obeyed, how dare I trace back to intelligence from my superiors?!"

"Commander Qin, are you going to disobey orders in the face of battle?"

"Military orders are absolute; those who disobey orders on the battlefield shall be punished by death!"

"He will definitely be executed without mercy!"

"General Qin, I would like to offer you a word of advice: take care of yourself!" the official choked back.

Upon hearing this, a sharp glint flashed in Qin Jing's eyes.

You can only sigh that you are under someone else's roof and have no choice but to shut up and compromise.

"Humph!"

"Enough of your dawdling, I must hurry back to report."

"Half a quarter of an hour!" "If your unit hasn't reached the north of the city by half a quarter of an hour, Commander Qin, you can expect to be court-martialed!"

"drive!"

Without mincing words, the official ordered the cavalry to use that last sentence as a signal. He turned the reins, said no more, and with a fierce and unruly gait, galloped away with a thunderous roar.

Just as his entourage turned at the alleyway, three of Qin Jing's personal guards outside the house hunched over and approached him.

"Uh, Qian, Qian Zong."

"A higher rank can crush you."

"Orders are hard to disobey, we can't."

“Look at this place right now,” the attendant said, trying to persuade him.

However, the more this was the case, the more resolute Qin Jing's expression became.

The man, disgusted, flung his robe away.

"Humph!"

"They took a chicken feather as an imperial edict."

"Never mind him, the Huang residence must be defended."

“Tell the brothers below that no one should act rashly.”

"Anyone who dares to disobey orders shall be executed!"

Qin Jing was determined to make this one last desperate gamble, so he went all out.

"Ah? Thousand, Thousand General." San Dong was taken aback upon hearing this.

"kindness?"

"Hey, what the hell are you talking nonsense for!"

"I'm still a commander."

"Do as my orders require."

"All the blame has nothing to do with you. I will take the blame myself!" Qin Jing said without further ado.

But San Dong had a bitter face, and his complexion was sallow.

"Oh dear, what, what kind of talk is this?"

After finishing his words, Qin Jing stopped listening to his advice and complaints, flicked his robe, and turned to disappear into the house.

They were racing against time to make arrangements.

Time flies by.
Ye barely managed to hold on for half an hour before everything was finally settled at the Huang residence. Xiao'e, Jingyi, and the other women had changed into their farm clothes and were preparing to leave!

Suddenly!

A muffled thud.

The three men who had just been guarding the gate were terrified and scrambled into the courtyard.

"Commander, Commander!"

"Oh no, oh no!"

"Hurry, hurry!"

"Oh my, it's the Admiral! Admiral Gong is here on horseback!"

The three eastern gallbladders split open, bringing ruin.

Upon hearing this, Qin Jing turned his head sharply, sweat beading on his forehead, greatly alarmed!

It's true what they say, what you fear most is exactly what happens.

What should we do in this situation?!

At this moment, Qin Jing was not given any time to think or argue. The three words were delivered hastily in the blink of an eye.

Bang!

Then the sound came from the gate of the house.

Gong Yong, fully armored and helmeted, sword in hand and boots gleaming, kicked open the door and strode into the courtyard.

At the same time, two rows of armored soldiers advanced into the courtyard from both sides.

In no time, the front yard was surrounded by these soldiers in layers, leaving no room for escape.

If my plan fails, I fear I will lose my life!
At this moment, Qin Jing was horrified and his heart sank. He gritted his teeth and stared blankly at the spot in front of him.

"Damn it, his surname is Qin!"

"You little brat, you have some nerve!"

"It's all thanks to my strong recommendation in the past that I trust you so much."

"Back then, when Old Liu was unwilling to accept you into the Imperial Guard for your position, damn it, I was the one who paved the way for you."

"You ungrateful wretch."

"How so?"

"Are you trying to rebel?!"

Gong Yonggu lost his temper; he had a terrible temper. He started yelling and cursing, and he kept shouting without restraint.

Once the man had landed firmly, the situation was already tense, and Qin Jing was caught in a dilemma. (End of Chapter)
