They say your illegitimate child is worthless, yet you rebel with seven wives?

Chapter 174: Funeral Music

Ye Qingyou was well aware that the Great Xia Dynasty had a flawed system, causing the common people to suffer and live in misery...

Therefore, although I was initially shocked by the rebellion, I also felt that it was understandable.

But she never expected that even the soldiers stationed in Wanhai City would go to such lengths...

You should know that 50,000 people have already rebelled in Wanhai City!

These stationed soldiers, instead of protecting the people properly, actually fabricated all sorts of baseless charges and used the lives of the people to offset their crimes.

Is this something a human being could do?

Ye Qingyou was naturally shocked, shocked that the Great Xia Dynasty had really deteriorated to this extent.

She couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "Brother Luo, is this... the case in Wanhai City, or is it the case throughout the entire world?"

Su Luo calmly said, "Do you think that if Wanhai City is in such a state, how much better can other places be?"

After what happened to those people, the main city of Wanhai City became even quieter, but the air was thick with a sense of unease.

The remaining people stayed indoors, but even so, they were still worried that the guards would break into their rooms and hand them over as traitors...

“With such a great Xia dynasty, how could it not perish?” Su Luo’s words were startling.

Ye Qingyou's delicate body trembled, and she lowered her head without saying a word.

Su Luo said, "Don't worry, I won't involve you in anything I do. Once I meet some trustworthy people, they will take you away from Wan Hai City..."

"If you don't want to go back to the Ye family when the time comes, that's fine too. We'll find a place where you can live a peaceful life for now."

Ye Qingyou nodded at first, but after walking with Su Luo for a while, she suddenly looked up and said, "Brother Luo, I still think..."

I want to stay by your side.

Su Luo looked at her with some surprise.

The reason he acted so "rebelliously" was to try and persuade Ye Qingyou to leave.

Regardless of Ye Qingyou's true identity in the Ye family, a large part of the reason Su Luo saved her was because of Ye Changfeng!

Su Luo and Ye Changfeng had a good relationship. If she really was Ye Changfeng's sister, how could she just stand by and watch her be harmed?

But Ye Qingyou actually wanted to stay by his side...

Isn't this prone to causing accidents?

But to my surprise, Ye Qingyou was so determined!

Su Luo gave the girl a deep look and said calmly, "Since you've decided this way, then so be it!"

"But you should know that staying with me could mean losing your life at any moment..."

Ye Qingyou exclaimed excitedly, "I'm not afraid!"

"If it weren't for Brother Luo, I would have died long ago..."

Su Luo smiled, didn't say much, and settled down in a courtyard.

The main city of Wanhai was once a bustling place, but now it is deserted, with empty houses everywhere.

This is normal, because the rebellion affected everyone, and everyone was afraid of dying.

Those who could run, naturally ran!

Moreover, some people were simply and swiftly arrested, just like Su Luo and Ye Qingyou had just witnessed...

Seeing his expression, Ye Qingyou couldn't help but feel puzzled.

Weren't we here to rebel?

Why are you staying here?

She hesitated for a moment before saying, "Brother Luo, I heard that the real rebellion in Wanhai City doesn't take place in the main city..."

"And since there are four towns, shouldn't we go and take a look at all four towns?"

Su Luo looked at her as if she were a fool and said, "You yourself said that the four towns are the main rebellion sites. If we go there, wouldn't that just be telling others..."

"Are we here to rebel?"

"I might be able to escape then, but you might not be able to!"

Ye Qingyou shrank back and said, "Brother Luo, what's wrong with me...?"

Su Luo calmly said, "Don't worry, I have my own ideas about what I want to do."

As he spoke, he pulled a flatbread from his pocket and asked, "Want some?"

Ye Qingyou nodded, took the pancake, and started eating it.

This one is easy to take care of... Su Luo looked at the sky, wondering what kind of arrangements Xu Risheng would make?

Although he did not reveal his whereabouts in Wanhai City, Su Luo did not want to make contact with Xu Risheng immediately.

If you want to see if Xu Risheng has made any preparations in this main city.

If the other side is only focused on the four towns and has no intention of expanding... then Su Luo will have to consider how to sift through Xu Risheng's troops and bring them under his control.

If someone lacks any sense of perspective, it means they don't have the talent to be a leader.

At most, he could be a fierce general charging into battle.

However, if Xu Risheng is a person of vision and possesses extraordinary talent as a commander...

Therefore, they will inevitably have great ambitions.

A guy like that probably wouldn't want to stay subservient to someone for long...

However, if the general is fierce, he is easier to subdue.

Su Luo smiled nonchalantly, of course, we'll talk about that later.

Perhaps Xu Risheng knew Su Luo was coming and was planning to kill him?

In that case, Su Luo wouldn't need to think so much; he could just confront them head-on.

The next morning.

Su Luo and Ye Qingyou were awakened by a burst of mournful music.

Stepping out of the courtyard, I found a small, disorganized band playing music for a funeral.

Wandering through streets and alleys.

Ye Qingyou, who naturally didn't live in the same house as Su Luo, went outside after hearing the noise and was somewhat surprised to see the band.

"what's the situation?"

"At this hour, someone is still singing?"

Su Luo chuckled and didn't say anything more.

Upon going outside, they discovered that all the food stalls were gone, and Wanhai City resembled a ghost town.

Only the mournful music echoed in the sky.

Ye Qingyou suddenly stopped in her tracks and saw the soldiers who had tried to intercept them outside the city yesterday.

The soldier was somewhat surprised to see Ye Qingyou, and immediately saluted, saying, "Miss Ye!"

There was no clean water in the courtyard, and not even a space for Ye Qingyou to wash up. She was still in a disheveled state.

Seeing this, the soldiers guarding the city gate admired Ye Qingyou even more. As expected of someone who supplies the army, she hadn't even changed her clothes yet.

Are you worried that changing clothes will reveal your whereabouts?

Ye Qingyou couldn't help but ask, "What... is going on?"

The soldier closing the city gate immediately said, "Our General Xue is kind-hearted. He was specially invited here for the sake of the people harmed by the rebels..."

"It is so that the wronged souls of these people can find some solace."

Upon hearing this, Ye Qingyou felt even more ironic. Were they specially invited here to comfort those people?!

Could it be that the commander of these soldiers really doesn't know... that the current state of Wanhai City is not only related to the rebels, but also to them?!

Su Luo, however, keenly noticed a key word in the soldier's words...
