Just like that, life passed by like a wolf eating and tiger eating. Ji Guzi kept changing methods to "torture" Chu Yunge, but he never taught her any martial arts. They stayed in this dark prison for ten days at a time.

The tenth day.

The three of them sat around the food box and looked at the dishes that had been delivered. They went from the stewing of the Plum Blossom Meat to the stewing of the bean curd, to the tofu of the Ma Po, to the egg and soup … But it could also be seen that he was doing it with his heart.

"Eh …" Chu Yunge looked at the not too rich but still full of ingredients, they had already exhausted all of their family members, "Should we go out now?" Although Jiang Lian said that he wouldn't give them special treatment, the boxes of delicious food never stopped.

If they did not leave, Jiang Lian would probably send them off. To be safe, Chu Yunge did not leave at the perfect time of week.

However, they had already been out for over a month. Soon, it would be two months. His father wouldn't be able to hold on for that long.

They did not have much time to waste, so Ji Guzi used the last remaining ingredients to change Feng Yi's face slightly, but it looked a little different now. Chu Yunge directly took off his face.

She had to rely on her face all the way back to Chu.

In the middle of the night, the candles in the cells were lit. Chu Yunge and the other two unlocked the cells and walked towards the corner of the cells in a very familiar manner.

The gatekeeper was already extremely tired and was sound asleep on the table. Chu Yunge went forward to give him a palm strike, and he fell into a deep sleep.

He took out the key to open the cell door, and with one smooth motion, he ran out from under the scattered wooden planks to welcome Ji Guzi, grabbing him with his front legs.

The three of them decided to stay put. They sneaked into the yamen's stable and took out three horses. Then, they disappeared into the dark alley.

On the morning of the second day, Jiang Lian woke up to hear the news of the prisoner's escape. It was nothing much, he had long wished for them to leave, but they even took the chance to steal the horse at the yamen!

It made him so angry that his nose was crooked.

"Master, should we send someone to chase him?" the constable asked.

Jiang Lian held his forehead in pain. "Forget it. We've already run for so long, we can't catch up." They should not have been imprisoned to begin with. Since they had this kind of ability, they should have already run away.

"Those … lost three horses …" That was the last thing in the county magistrate's office.

Jiang Lian waved his hand. "Hang it on my salary."

"But Prefect, your salary has already been hung up until next year. If you hang these three horses up again, you won't have to be afraid of Madam …"

"Then what do you think we should do?" These three ancestors had already spent a lot of money to eat in the prison for ten days. They even took three horses with them when they left.

"Zhao Zhizhou has arrived." The manservant outside reported.

"Why is Zhao Zhizhou here?" Jiang Lian rose to his feet and bowed. "This lowly official greets Sir Zhong."

Zhao Zhizhou took Jiang Lian's hands in one hand and said, "I can't take this anymore." Jiang Lian, you sure have a lot of face. "

"Huh?"

Jiang Lian was completely befuddled and didn't know what he was talking about.

Mr. Zhizhou handed Jiang Lian's transfer to him, "Your transfer order was personally sent by the Chief Patrol Officer. He gave it to me because he couldn't find a place the size of your sesame seed."

"Sir Inspector?" This was a second rank official. He had seen such a large official before when he rushed to the capital for the exam. He had never seen such a large official in all these years.

It actually said that he was to become the governor of Shuntian! Jiang Lian flipped the thin transfer order back and forth. "Could it be that you gave it to me incorrectly?"

Shuntian Prefecture Commander! That was a third level official. He was only a seventh level official and had not been promoted for ten years. At this rate, he would not be a third level official even if he were to die.

However, Jiang Lian's name was indeed written on it.

The Chief Patrol Officer said by name that Jiang Lian was from Greencloud City. How could he be wrong?" It's been so many years, and you're finally out of it. " When he was still a commoner, Jiang Lian had been a Prefect here. After so many years, he was already a Prefecture Lord, but Jiang Lian was still a Prefect.

"You are also a person, but you don't know the way of government. That's why you have been holed up in this small town for so many years, but it can be said that the heavens have eyes. Someone finally has eyes. Have you met someone important recently?"

The lord of Zhizhou spoke slowly and unhurriedly. He could not learn Jiang Lian's pouting, and he hated the officials for protecting him. "Your humble servant greets Shuntian Palace's Yin."

Jiang Lian was also thinking about this matter. The position of governor of Shuntian was something that many people could not even think of. How could it be given to him so easily and for no reason at all?

Speaking of noble people, he seemed to have never met one. A few days ago when he arrived, he had met a few ancestors …

In the mountain city path, Chu Yunge and Feng Yi spurred their horses and galloped along the small road, around the small road were rows after rows of green trees, the autumn wind blew past, and the leaves withered, covering the middle of the small road with a heavy, colourful carpet.

The hooves of the horses fell to the ground, no longer making any clattering sounds. Instead, they became much softer, and the rustling of the wind by Lin Dong's ears could be heard.

"Feng Yi, you seem to have a lot of talent in Feng Lai." Chu Yunge reckoned that by this time, Jiang Lian had already discovered that they were gone, and was so angry that his nose started to smoke.

"Of course." Feng Yi said proudly, without hiding anything.

"Then if there are so many talents, we won't be short a mere seventh-grade sesame official, right?" It wasn't easy to get out on a trip, but they had to dig whenever they met a treasure. Who cares whose corner it was?

"Of course not." Feng Yi turned his head around, and from the moment Chu Yunge had spoken, he knew that Chu Yunge's heart was at a loss for words, "However, the Prefect, Jiang Lian, is probably already on his way to the capital. He should arrive at the Shuntian in a few days' time."

"You, do you want to do this!?" She was not a wolf, so why should she guard against all of them?

"Husband, you are doing this for the future of our country, but if Xiao Ge truly values these talents, then take me away. She will definitely put in all her effort to serve my Xiao Ge."

"Scram!" "Scram as far as you can get."

"Can you two show your love for each other?" Ji Guzi who was at the side seemed to have already received 10,000 points of damage.

"…" Chu Yunge sped up her horse and arrived in front of the two of them. They did not head for the city gates of the Chu; instead, they went around the city gates and rode close to the city walls.

Right now, there was no need to think too much about the Chu Clan. They would definitely be filled with people from the Worryfree Hall.

However, the degree of control over the Worryfree Hall had exceeded their imagination. Even though they were on a narrow path that led to the sheep's intestines and riding very fast, there were still people following them.

Feng Yi had taken care of all of them one by one, and there were many people dressed like commoners wandering around the city walls.

After tying their horses to a tree in the forest, Chu Yunge and the other two would walk closer to the city wall around Chu. There would be someone guarding about five hundred meters away, and all of them would look like a woodcutter.

"Could it be that these people are here to capture us?" Not exactly. If they were here to capture them, they should've let them out at the city gates instead of besieging them like they were now.

Moreover, this kind of siege was useless against them. With a distance of five hundred meters, as long as they could deal with one person, they could easily climb over the wall.

"Let's speed up." She had an ominous feeling that during the two months she had been away from Chu, she had no idea what was going on inside.

I can't let anything happen to him! Chu Yunge prepared all the flying claws and the three of them rushed out.

The sentry on the wall immediately discovered them, but before his hand could make the signal detonation, Feng Yi's hand had already grabbed onto his neck, and lightly pulled.

The iron ball in the guard's hand fell to the ground. Chu Yunge threw her claws up, using both hands to push against the wall, in a moment she was already at the top of the wall, and easily flipped over.

Chu Yunge was slightly surprised. This time, it was different from the past, it was as if she did not use a single ounce of strength.

Ji Guzi and Feng Yi landed on the ground at the same time, and the three of them flashed into an alleyway where no one was around at the same time. They took a shortcut towards the Imperial Palace, and walked with their heads lowered.

Suddenly, Chu Yunge stopped, a group of people around the corner surrounded the notice board to point at them, and Chu Yunge saw the two words on the Emperor Board from far away.

His father was currently severely ill, and his mother never cared about imperial politics. His third brother was a temporary overseer, so he did not have the authority or the means to issue the Emperor Board at this time.

Chu Yunge walked closer with her face half covered, as lines of black calligraphy entered her eyes.

"The imperial court needs to fill the harem to extend the children. After the announcement is made, all females who have reached sixteen and under thirty years of age within the borders of the Great Chu, and have good looks and a clean background, can participate in the selection."

It was only a few sentences, and it was already sealed with a golden seal. Furthermore, she recognized this seal, which was the same seal she had taken out from the Imperial Study and gave to Chu Yan.

Chu Yunge looked at the signature. This announcement had already been made last month, and this month would be the date of the elections.

Chu Yunge staggered a step back, and quickly left the place filled with people. Her bad premonition grew stronger and stronger, "Selecting a concubine, how could it be possible!" royal father was so severely ill that he was on the verge of death, why would he choose a concubine at this time?
