Chapter 62 Captive
  Xu Yihuan stopped eating after eating three or five dishes in Magistrate Liu's small kitchen.

Magistrate Liu suggested that he take her to visit Xiaocheng in the afternoon, and Xu Yihuan agreed without thinking.

Lieutenant General Du searched all the way, and when he reached the kitchen door, he heard the news that Xu Yihuan had agreed to leave the house with Magistrate Liu. He paused and did not enter the house.

He turned around and looked for Yeshang to come over.

Ye Shang didn't understand that Magistrate Liu and Miss Xu were just acquainted, and he didn't quite believe that Miss Xu had such a close relationship with Magistrate Liu just because of a "big treasure".

But he couldn't figure out why County Magistrate Liu was so interested in Miss Xu. He thought many reasons were not established, but the only possibility was that Magistrate Liu had met Miss Xu before, but Miss Xu's reaction was not Meet Magistrate Liu.

He was jealous, but he didn't dare to show it too obviously. Just thinking about it as he walked, he came to the small kitchen arranged by Magistrate Liu.

Xu Yihuan had been taken away by Magistrate Liu, leaving only a few maids cleaning the dishes.

"Where are Miss Xu and County Magistrate Liu?" Vice General Du stepped forward and asked. The maid immediately turned her head in fright.

"Magistrate Liu and Miss Xu just went out. They seemed to go to see the hot springs and beautiful scenery in Xiaocheng. They are not sure where they went."

Ye Shang turned around and left before he finished listening.

"Have you heard about where you are going?" Ye Shang's face was gloomy, he glanced at Lieutenant General slightly, and walked towards the door in a hurry.

Lieutenant General Xiao Bu quickly followed behind him and said, "Magistrate Liu didn't say it clearly. His subordinates came back to report it as soon as they heard it. Ask the hidden guard?"

Ye Shang snorted coldly and said, "The hidden guard has been punished."

Vice General Du was so frightened that he had forgotten this matter.

As soon as Xu Yihuan and Magistrate Liu went out, someone brought three horses. On this trip, Xu Yihuan took Xiaochun with him.

Magistrate Liu led the way, and with quick movements, the three of them kicked the horse in the belly and ran all the way from the entrance of Xiaocheng Mansion to the city gate.

Xu Yihuan didn't think about where Magistrate Liu was taking her. Anyway, she now had the Devil Fruit by her side and was not afraid of ordinary people.

"Xu" Xu Yihuan suddenly reined in his horse.

Magistrate Liu looked up and saw a familiar face riding past Xu Yihuan at the gate of Xiaocheng.

Xu Yihuan suddenly woke up. Yes, she came to Xiaocheng to attack the city, and after conquering Xiaocheng, she just wanted to get some money and live a good life. As for everything here, she didn't seem to care.

She suddenly asked herself, did she really want to follow Yeshang back to Kyoto and marry him?
  There is also the father she has never met, Xu Tai who wants to kill her, and Concubine Tao who is trapped in the palace. What does that have to do with her?

Before time travel, she just wanted to live as she pleased.

But now that she has this ability, and with the money that Magistrate Liu gave her, she no longer has to worry about money, so there is no need to get married.

Whether it is ancient people getting married or modern people getting married, it is like a disaster for women.

Women need to pay for the pain of childbirth, good health, and give their husband's surname before the child's name.

There was also the pain of raising children. When Xu Yihuan thought of this, she suddenly shuddered.

She almost went against her own will.

She tried to restrain herself, regained her composure and said, "Where is Magistrate Liu taking me?"

Magistrate Liu turned his head and saw that her face suddenly became as calm as an abyss, and her initial excitement was completely gone.

He slightly nodded and said: "I'll take you to see the guards, Xiaocheng will be captured." Xu Yihuan was shocked. She had guessed many outcomes, but she never thought that he would take her to see the guards prisoners in Xiaocheng. .

She thought for a moment and said, "Let's go then."

Xu Yihuan did not hesitate. When Magistrate Liu flicked his horsewhip, she followed and rode out of the city gate.

Three kilometers outside Xiaocheng, the Jin army surrounded a large camp. There were Jin soldiers standing on the periphery with guns on all sides. The camp was surrounded by supplies.

County Magistrate Liu took Xu Yihuan outside the prison camp. He did not dismount immediately, but sat side by side with her on the horse, looking into the prison camp.

Magistrate Liu rarely said: "This is how the Jin army treated the prisoners of the Guards."

Xu Yihuan sat on the horse and looked towards the prisoner camp. The camp was divided into five small camps, and the camp was formed into five circles. Xu Yihuan guessed that the Jin army had broken down the 50,000-strong army into five prisoner camps.

Her eyesight was excellent, and she then looked inside the five prisoner camps. The entire prison camp was built in a depression in the camp. Xu Yihuan and Liu County Magistrate Kutzke stood on the periphery of the depression and could clearly see the situation inside.

Xu Yihuan sighed inwardly, Ye Shang was indeed the God of War of the Jin Army, but soon her face turned from calm to livid.

In the prison camp, a prisoner duel was being held in one of the small camps. The prison camp was surrounded by soldiers of the Jin army. Xu Yihuan could distinguish the Jin army.

The soldiers of the Jin army were holding guns and shouting excitedly: "Kill him, kill her."

Inside the field, other small camps were doing the same thing.

She looked inside the camp circle and saw that the soldiers of the Guards were fighting each other with their bare hands. The internal strife and fighting among the Guards was intensifying step by step.

County Magistrate Liu turned his head and looked at Xu Yihuan's face turning pale and blue, and the expression on his face became serious.

"I was unwilling to hand over Xiaocheng. The purpose of the Wei Army and the Jin Army in obtaining Xiaocheng was the same. It was just for the taxes brought by Xiaocheng's prosperous economy."

He said: "The Guards occupied Xiaocheng for 4 months. Fu Kang treated me well with good food and drinks. In order to make me surrender to the Guards, he did not carry out any large-scale plundering except for robbing a small number of wealthy households' money and food."

Magistrate Liu added: "This may be my fault, but the 50,000-strong Guards army did not cause great harm to Xiaocheng. On the contrary, the Jin Emperor has imposed heavy taxes for ten consecutive years in order to make Xiaocheng pay more taxes."

"The rich households in Xiaocheng can support this tax, but everyone feels aggrieved to pay it, but the purpose of the Guards occupying Xiaocheng is the same as that of the Jin army."

"In the past few days, I have tried many ways, but none of them could free Xiaocheng from the hands of the Jin army and the Wei army."

Magistrate Liu reined in the horse and tried to make it obedient.

Xu Yihuan looked at him blankly. She didn't expect that he would talk so much to her today.

He was originally the county magistrate of Xiaocheng, why would he plead for mercy for the prisoners of the Jin army? Yes, he was begging for mercy like this. Could it be that he was just asking Fukang to treat him well after he attacked the city?

That's right, since ancient times, literati have always considered themselves noble, and after receiving preferential treatment from Fu Kangde, he would naturally be grateful to him.

Could it be that he was the one who tipped off the guards? Xu Yihuan quickly gave up this idea. How could she know everything about the Jin army while she was in the Guards camp, and also lure the Guards to attack the Jin army overnight.

Could it be that he was compassionate, and his heart moved when he saw the prisoners captured by the guards?
  Thousands of thoughts flashed through Le Xu Yihuan's mind, and they couldn't go away.

"In a duel between prisoners, will the loser die?" Xu Yihuan looked at the duel between prisoners in the camp and felt that it was very bloody.

She couldn't help turning her head and retching twice.

She couldn't imagine what it would be like to escape the opponent's organs after a bare-knuckle duel, but as a modern person, she couldn't accept it at all.
