C414 Rebellion
After Guo Chen left with the imperial palace expert, Lin Rann and Su Xin resumed their peaceful lives.
However, this peaceful life was quickly broken.
"Run for your life!" An old man shouted along the way. The surrounding people all looked at him blankly, not knowing what was going on.
The old man explained, "You guys don't know? The rebel army is about to attack."
What rebel army was the rebel army?
The surrounding people were still at a loss. This world was clearly very peaceful!
Where did this rebel army come from?
Actually, the peace in the world was just an illusion on the surface. In fact, it had already become rotten inside.
Currently, Your Majesty was obsessed with plants and vegetation. Sometimes, in order to raise flowers, he would even ignore the state affairs.
This was a good opportunity for the other large families to seize. They would plant all of their family members in the imperial court, or place them in their own places.
The officials from the large families deceived the Emperor and exploited the people, causing the people to be unable to make a living.
So not long ago, there was a man named Chen Guang, a general from the border. He could not stand the exploitation of those big families, so he led his men to rise up and say that he wanted to restore the Great Zhou Dynasty.
The Great Zhou Dynasty was the last dynasty, and it was destroyed by the current dynasty. However, the Great Zhou Dynasty hadn't been destroyed for long, and there were still many survivors.
When the dynasty broke into the Imperial Capital, the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty fled with his concubines and his wife and children.
The escape of the Great Zhou Dynasty's imperial family made the generals feel disheartened, and they all surrendered to the current dynasty. That was why the dynasty was established so quickly.
This Chen Guang was the son of a general of Great Zhou Dynasty, and he had a rich military strategy. He had been mixing in with the border army of the current dynasty, and just as the resentment of the people had reached its peak... Chen Guang directly led his subordinates and betrayed the current dynasty.
Of course, Your Majesty soon discovered Chen Guang's betrayal and immediately sent someone to suppress the rebels.
Unfortunately, all of them were defeated by Chen Guang.
Now, Chen Guang said that he wanted to go from the south to the north, kill his way to the Imperial City, and force Your Majesty to abdicate. Then, he would find a royal family of Great Zhou Dynasty and let them succeed the throne.
As for the city that Lin Rann was currently in, it was a must-pass for him to go to the Imperial City.
Therefore, he would definitely be attacked by Chen Guang.
Lin Rann and Su Xin did not eat outside today. It was really chaotic outside. There were people escaping outside. When they heard that the rebel army was coming, they all panicked and prepared to escape.
Fortunately, Lin Rann had already bought a lot of vegetables and rice noodles and other daily food in advance.
So now, the two of them were eating at home every day. When they closed the door, they could still hear the mocking noises outside.
"Run! The city is broken, the rebel army has entered the city!" A person outside loudly reminded everyone to run away.
After Lin Rann and Su Xin quietly went out for dinner, the table was not cleaned. Instead, they opened the back door and walked out. They were already prepared.
They had prepared this carriage in advance. After knowing the strength of the rebel army, Lin Rann did not expect City Lord Fann to be able to break the thief, so he had prepared one or two carriages in advance. After the rebels entered the city, he rode his horse and left.
"Get on the carriage!" Lin Rann let Su Xin get in the car first and then sat inside.
The things inside were quite complete. There was a long chair in all three directions, which could seat three or four people. There were also some cooked rice hidden under the long chair, which could be eaten after traveling on the road.
"Do you know how to drive?" Su Xin asked with concern.
It was very chaotic right now. If they ran a little slower, they might be caught by the rebel army.1
Furthermore, if they did not know how to ride a horse, they could quickly find someone who knew how to ride a horse!
This was because a horse carriage was much faster than a horse with two legs. If you were to ride a horse, you could bring your family along. Of course, it's better if you're alone, then you'll definitely go crazy. A bunch of people came to you and said that they wanted to help you ride a horse, no matter how much money they spent in the past when it was peaceful. Now, they were all free, and they could even pay him back!
"Don't worry! I know how to drive a carriage!" Lin Rann sat there and pulled the reins, and the horse immediately started running.
"Quick! Search every family!"
A man in a general's uniform looked at the tightly shut doors around him. He waved the knife in his hand and scolded.
Those soldiers faced man in military uniform's words and quickly took action.
Walking to the tightly shut doors, he first lightly pushed them open. If the doors were closed, they would use force to kick them open. Of course, there were other ways.
"How is it?" After a while, the one who asked man in military uniform loudly, "Did you find it?"
"No!" If it was soldiers who did not find anyone, they would come out and shout 'no'. If they found someone, they would bring him out and bring him in front of man in military uniform.
They saw man in military uniform take out a piece of paper from his pocket and carefully unfolded it. He waved it in front of those people and said, "Let me ask you, have you seen this person before?"
The one who took man in military uniform was holding a painting in his hand. On the painting was a beautiful woman.
Those soldiers did not know why they kept asking those people if they knew the person on the painting. Was it really meaningful to know the person on the painting?
The couple who was looking at the painting felt that the woman on the painting looked very familiar. They kept whispering under the painting, "Do you remember?"
"I don't remember!"
The man shook his head at man in military uniform and said, "I feel that they are very familiar, but I can't remember where I have seen them before."
"You have seen him?" man in military uniform was delighted and asked, "Do you know where he is?"
"I don't know!" The man said, "Didn't I say that she looks familiar? But I suddenly can't remember who she is!"
The man shook his head as he spoke.
"What are you pretending for? Hurry up and tell me!" The soldier standing at the side looked at the man. He felt that he was playing dumb. He clearly knew who this person was. However, he insisted that he had forgotten, so the soldier wanted to teach him a lesson.
"Stop!" man in military uniform was scolded, and the soldier stopped. He felt that the man was not lying, and his head was full of white hair.
