Chapter 2014 Waiting for Her

"The granary is on fire! The granary is on fire..."

Thick smoke billowed from the warehouse east of the Shajiucheng County Government Office. This was where thousands of stones of grain and grass were stored. Now a fire broke out. The fire was so fierce that it could not be easily extinguished.

"What...what's going on?" The soldiers guarding the granary were dumbfounded. The granary was such an important place. It was heavily defended and not a single mosquito could get in. How could it catch fire?

"What are you doing standing here? Put out the fire!" A guard reacted first and shouted to everyone to put out the fire.

He rushed to the other side to fetch water, only to find that all the soldiers guarding the granary were gone.

"Some Yuan soldiers broke in!" He saw a dozen soldiers lying in the corner and knew something was wrong.

Zhao Rao, who was watching the battle ahead on the city wall, soon received the news. Her expression suddenly changed and she immediately came down from the city wall. The opponent's guard asked angrily, "How come the granary was burned? Didn't I ask you to guard the city gate?" "

"Your Majesty, the city gates in the southeast and northwest are heavily guarded. I don't know how they got in..." the guard said tremblingly. He knew exactly what the burning of the granary meant.

"Block all the streets immediately, and we must find out all the Yuan soldiers!" Zhao Rao said angrily.

Zhao Xiang looked grave, "Their military strength is inferior to ours, how come there are still extra people in Shajiucheng?"

"It must be Lu Yaoyao!" The only person Zhao Rao thought of was Ye Zhen. She must have come to burn down the granary. "I must catch him."

"Has the fire in the granary been put out? How much food is left?" Zhao Xiang asked the guards. Food is too important to the army. It is not known how long this battle will last. If there is no food and grass, how will the soldiers fight?

Guard's face was livid, "I'm just afraid... I'm afraid there won't be much left."

Zhao Rao said in a deep voice, "I will order the household department to prepare for the transportation of grain and grass, and go and capture Lu Yaoyao immediately."

"Your Majesty, please go back to the General's Mansion first." Zhao Xiang whispered. Since Lu Yaoyao might be in the city, for Zhao Rao's safety, it is best to go back to the General's Mansion first.

Now that Sha Jiucheng's troops are all at the front, the only person here who can protect Zhao Rao is Ling Jian.

"No, if Lu Yaoyao is really in the city, she will definitely come to see me." Zhao Rao whispered, "I will go to the city wall and wait for her."

"Your Majesty!" Zhao Xiang disagreed. Since Lu Yaoyao could sneak into Sha Jiucheng quietly, if she wanted to do anything to Zhao Rao, it would be a piece of cake.

Zhao Rao turned around and walked back, regardless of Zhao Xiang's objection.

"Prepare the archers." Zhao Rao ordered Ling Jian while walking back. If she wanted to kill Lu Yaoyao, she must kill her.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Ling Jian promised.

Zhao Xiang frowned. She felt that Lu Yaoyao was not so easy to catch.

It is true that Ye Zhen is not easily caught. She is now walking through the streets of Shajiucheng, passing by the soldiers who want to catch her, and no one can recognize her at all.

The twenty soldiers she brought did not follow her into the city. They were waiting outside the city gate to meet her.

Nowadays, several city gates are tightly guarded. If she wants to leave, there will definitely be a fierce fight.

Do you want to stop by and meet Zhao Rao? Ye Zhen thought about it and decided to leave through the east gate according to the original plan. The person she left behind was waiting for her there.

Ye Zhen disguised herself as an ordinary peasant woman, hid her hands in her sleeves, and lowered her head when she came to the city gate. There were more and more soldiers on the road, and it was impossible to go out directly from the city gate.

Zhao Rao had been standing on the city wall watching. The granary was burned and all the grain and grass they had stored were gone. Even if they could get supplies from the imperial capital, it would take at least several days. Unless Song Hongao could win a big victory today, it would be very difficult for them. .

However, none of this is more important than catching Lu Yaoyao.

As long as Lu Yaoyao can be caught, everything will be worth it.

"That woman..." Zhao Xiang pointed to the woman walking on the street with her head lowered. The woman was wearing coarse clothes and looked like other passers-by who were scared and nervous. However, she just felt that this woman was a bit strange.

"What's wrong?" Zhao Rao asked calmly.

Zhao Xiang frowned, "I just think she's a little strange."

"Catch her." Zhao Rao pointed at the woman in coarse cloth and ordered. She would rather kill the wrong person than let her go.

Ye Zhen had almost reached the corner. When she heard Zhao Rao's voice, she sighed secretly in her heart.

"She is Lu Yaoyao!" Zhao Xiang pointed at Ye Zhen and shouted.

As soon as she finished speaking, Ling Jian and his men had already surrounded Ye Zhen.

"Lu Yaoyao!" Zhao Rao shouted bitterly.

"I can hear it." Ye Zhen smiled slightly, tapped the ground with her toes, and came to Zhao Rao.

The soldiers on the city wall immediately stood in front of Zhao Rao, pointing their swords at Ye Zhen.

"Lu Yaoyao, do you still dare to appear in front of me?" Zhao Rao's eyes burst out with strong hatred, and he just wanted to tear the person in front of him into pieces.

She seemed to see Cheng Zheng falling lightly in front of her again. He seemed to have a lot to say to her, but he couldn't say a word. He just looked at her with sadness in his eyes. She knew that he was reluctant to leave her. .

If it weren't for Lu Yaoyao, her Cheng Zheng wouldn't have left.

Ye Zhen said helplessly, "I don't want to appear in front of you. I killed Cheng Zheng, but if he lives, Zhao Ning and A Yi will not have a good life. He can only blame himself."

"Shut up!" Zhao Rao shouted, "You don't need to use Zhao Ning as an excuse. Even without you, Zhao Ning will be fine."

"Really? Do you know that Cheng Zheng imprisoned Zhao Ning in the dungeon? If I hadn't found Zhao Ning in time, all the children in her belly would be gone." Speaking of the child in her belly, Ye Zhen frowned and looked at Zhao Rao's Belly, "You are about to become a mother now. You should understand the despair that Zhao Ning felt when he was locked in the dungeon."

"I only know that you killed Cheng Zheng! You killed the father of my child." Zhao Rao shouted, "I want you to pay for your life."

Ye Zhen said, "You can't kill me. Cheng Zheng does not hesitate to hurt and threaten other people for his own selfish desires, so don't blame others for killing him."

"Then if you go to Shajiucheng today, I should kill you." Zhao Xiang asked.

"If you can kill me." Ye Zhen said with a smile.

"No, I want you to watch Mo Rongzhan and Mo Mingxi die. If I let you die like this, it would be too easy for you." Even though Zhao Rao had a strong desire to kill Ye Zhen in her heart, she still wanted Ye Zhen to feel it first The pain of losing a loved one.

Only by doing this can she completely resolve her hatred.

"I advise you to take good care of your fetus. It won't do any good to immerse yourself in hatred all day long." Ye Zhen smiled. Seeing that Zhao Rao didn't look good, he was afraid that he would have to drink anti-fetal medicine every day.

"Catch her!" Zhao Rao ordered.

Ye Zhen swiped the silver whip in her hand and threw away the person who was blocking her. She jumped down from the city wall.
