She watched Ye Yue approaching her and then directly spoke up, "You came here on Rong Xun's orders, right?"
Hearing this, Ye Yue immediately shook his head. "No, sir. I did something wrong, and the emperor expelled me. So, I have nowhere else to go."
After hearing his explanation, Tang Youyou sneered. "So, you want to stay with me? I can't pay you."
Hearing Tang Youyou's teasing, Ye Yue quickly replied, "No need, no need. If Her Majesty the Queen can keep me, I'll be grateful. If I can protect the queen well, maybe the emperor will let me go back."
However, Ye Yue's self - deprecation didn't escape Tang Youyou's notice.
"Since that's the case, you can stay by my side. Keep the same address as before."
Having witnessed Tang Youyou's disguise skills, Ye Yue immediately nodded.
When Old Man Tang saw Tang Youyou wake up, he walked over unhurriedly. "Awake?"
Tang Youyou nodded. "Just woke up. Where are you guys going?"
Lin Xiao walked over with a bunch of food. Seeing Tang Youyou standing there full of energy, he walked over in surprise, circled around her several times, and only then confirmed that she was a real living person.
"Do you still have that medicine you had before?"
Hearing this, Tang Youyou felt around on herself but found nothing. She shrugged and looked at Lin Xiao helplessly. "I had some before, but I'm afraid there's none left now. If you want some, I'll make some when I'm free."
She said it very casually, not knowing that such pills were things that people would fight tooth and nail for in the whole world.
Lin Xiao nodded thoughtfully. "In that case, I'll have to trouble you."
Tang Youyou nodded. But in the blink of an eye, people on the street were screaming. Tang Youyou looked in that direction and saw that on both sides of the road, the crowd was surging, and many people had died under the swords.
The soldiers with swords were all wearing Western Regions' armor. It was obvious that the people from the Western Regions had invaded. In this situation, wasn't Rong Xun in danger?
At this moment, Tang Youyou didn't care about her previous exhaustion anymore. She glanced at Ye Yue beside her. "Your master might be in danger. Go back and protect him."
After she finished speaking, Ye Yue shook his head. "I won't go back. I haven't completed my task."
Seeing Ye Yue's stubbornness, Tang Youyou let out a grunt and walked out of the inn. She saw those soldiers constantly waving their long swords and mercilessly killing people.
Seeing this, Tang Youyou picked up a wooden stick nearby and hit a soldier on the head.
With a clang, the man fell to the ground. Immediately, countless people noticed Tang Youyou. The soldiers pointed their swords at her and showed meaningful smiles on their faces.
"Here's another one who doesn't value her life. Brothers, kill her for fun!"
Just after this man finished speaking, another man laughed. "Don't you see that this is a woman? Why not keep her for our pleasure first and then decide what to do with her later."
At this time, Tang Youyou noticed that she was still dressed in the clothes she wore for the funeral and looked like a woman. She immediately turned around and ran towards the other end of the street.
At the street corner, General Yu was leading the troops back. The moment he saw Tang Youyou, General Yu thought he was seeing things.
When he looked again, Tang Youyou was already out of sight.
Tang Youyou was hiding around the street corner, quietly watching what was going on.
Seeing the crazy Western Regions' soldiers on the street, General Yu charged into the battle. In a fit of anger, he beheaded dozens of people. He was covered in blood, and even his face was so blood - smeared that his features were hardly recognizable.
It was not until the last person knelt on the ground that General Yu put down his long sword. He looked coldly at the corpses on the ground, but the next moment...
A sobbing child stood out from the crowd. The child looked out of place on the blood - soaked ground.
General Yu propped up his exhausted body and walked towards the child. His original killing aura softened at this moment.
He came in front of the child, carefully picked the little one up in his arms, and tried to soften his tone as he whispered, "Little one, where are your family members?"
But halfway through his words, he felt a dagger in his arms. The dagger was thrust straight into his lower abdomen, and in an instant, a cold sensation shot through his head.
He still managed to slowly put the child down. For a moment, he stood there stunned, feeling his mind go blank as the child pulled out the dagger from his abdomen.
Blood spurted out immediately, and General Yu fell into a pool of blood.
Seeing this, Tang Youyou, who had been hiding behind the wall, couldn't hold back anymore. She casually grabbed a handful of dust from the ground and saw some unwanted clothes in a pile of rags left by beggars.
After simply changing her clothes, Tang Youyou ran towards General Yu.
The soldiers beside him were also stunned. Even when they saw Tang Youyou coming, they just stood there stiffly.
Looking at General Yu's bleeding wound, Tang Youyou pressed hard on it and finally stopped the bleeding.
Then, Tang Youyou looked at an old woman beside her. "Grandma, do you have any needles and thread? I need to save someone!"
Seeing Tang Youyou's anxious look, the old woman immediately walked into a small shop, found the things, and rushed to hand them over.
Tang Youyou threaded the needle, carefully and quickly put General Yu's exposed internal organs back in place, then sewed up the wound, tied off the thread, and started acupuncture.
However, the needles for acupuncture were a row of the old woman's sewing needles. After seeing that the bleeding had stopped, Tang Youyou looked up at the crowd.
She smiled. "It seems that General Yu won't live long."
Just then, Tang Youyou suddenly noticed another old man in the crowd. She immediately pointed at the old man and shouted, "Catch that man. He's a spy!"
Hearing this, the soldiers finally came to their senses and immediately caught the man Tang Youyou had pointed out.
The old man grabbed a soldier beside him. A dagger in his wrist suddenly appeared, and he stabbed the soldier in the abdomen. A series of stabs caught the soldier off guard, and the soldier died on the spot.
The old man's skills were not what one would expect from a person of his age. Immediately, all the common people stepped back and hid.
The remaining soldiers managed to disarm the old man's dagger. It took six of them to subdue and capture him.
One of the soldiers was extremely surprised.
