After Rebirth, She Becomes the Revenge Queen-Chapter 515 - 345: Thinking of Escaping?! (Request for Monthly Pass)

Fu Zhen gave him a cursory glance and stepped over the threshold.

The horse was tied to the tree outside the door. Once she reached it, Fu Zhen turned her head, only to see that the man from before had already entered the bun shop with two companions.

When Cheng Chili came to her side, she said, "These people have a foreign accent. Did you see them when you were checking the people in the town last night?"

Cheng Chili looked back: "My brother took people to check the inn, so I’m not sure where they came from."

After saying this, he added: "If you’re not in a hurry to return to the city, I can call my brother over to ask?"

Cheng Chiren and his group must be occupied with important matters with Pei Zhan now. Fu Zhen thought it would be an overreaction to call Cheng Chiren over for this, but chose to be cautious:

"Call over two people who were with your brother last night to check on these foreigners. I’ll wait here."

"Alright."

Cheng Chili gave instructions to the subordinates. He then said to her, "It’s chaotic outside; we might as well find a place to wait."

The large-scale operation of the Capital Camp has made the town bustling and lost its usual tranquility.

Although Fu Zhen was in much better shape now, she still couldn’t compare to these rough men, and if she got hurt, it would be problematic.

Fu Zhen nodded and pointed to the previous bun shop: "Is there a more suitable place than that?"

After saying this, she turned and walked back.

The bun shop owner was surprised to see them return, but knowing they were not people he could offend, he quickly wiped a table for them to sit.

The three foreigners were at the table next to them.

As Fu Zhen sat down, they glanced over but then minded their own business.

The shopkeeper brought a bowl of soy milk each for Fu Zhen and Cheng Chili.

Just as the soy milk reached her lips, a commotion erupted in the street, with someone shouting loudly and people starting to run wildly.

Fu Zhen stood up abruptly: "What happened?"

The guard sent to find Cheng Chiren returned hastily at this moment: "Master! The rice shop in the village caught fire! The flames have already spread to the surrounding buildings!"

Fu Zhen was stunned, then rushed out.

The crowd was surging in one direction, stretching the not-so-large town due to the flow of people.

The fire was at the east end of town, and thick smoke was still billowing, with flames licking out from doorways as a large squad of soldiers arrived to extinguish it.

"Sure enough, the trick has been revealed!" Fu Zhen clenched the sword in her hand, "Zhan Er’s strategy worked!"

Taking advantage of the situation, Cheng Chili remarked, "He is the General Pingxi who crushed Dayue and ended the Northwest War of over a decade! He definitely has some flair!"

Fu Zhen shot him a glance and hurriedly looked into the distance again.

At such a critical moment, it was best for her to stand at a distance and observe and not be involved.

The fire incident was so precisely timed; Lian Rong and his group, desperate, were trying to escape!

"You stay and help! I’ll go back alone; I shouldn’t be getting in the way here at such a time."

With that, she turned towards the horse.

Pei Zhan and the others had plenty of people with great ability; they would know how to handle this situation better than she could.

Cheng Chili followed her: "I also need to go back; I still have duties to attend! Besides, how can I leave you alone?"

He wanted to run up and convince her, but before he could reach her, a fast horse appeared from afar, charging wildly in their direction!

Cheng Chili immediately stopped and quickly pulled Fu Zhen aside!

Still, there were pedestrians all around, and despite their speed, they were not as fast as the maddened horse!

With a shrill whinny, Fu Zhen was thrown off by the horse!

Fortunately, she was prepared and used the momentum to spin in the air, landing on a long bench that Cheng Chili had urgently pushed over!

The horse was simultaneously kicked in the knee, stumbled a few steps and fell!

The guards swarmed to subdue the horse, only to find Fu Zhen surrounded by the townspeople when they turned back.

"Are you alright? Are you badly hurt?" Cheng Chili was sweating with anxiety. Pei Zhan had indeed sent him back with tasks, but at least half of the reason was to protect Fu Zhen. Now, before even leaving town, trouble had already occurred. How would he explain this to Pei Zhan?
