The Wasteland City and the Yuan Nation were separated by several mountain peaks. After passing through this forest, there would be a high mountain. Because of the steep mountain terrain, the Jin Nation's patrols would not frequently come over to patrol. There was a tacit agreement between the Yuan Nation and the Jin Nation not to fight, so the border between the two nations had always been relatively relaxed.
Ming Yu climbed up the hill and looked into the distance. There were bustling people moving about in the forest. Judging by the clothes they were wearing, they were not Jin soldiers.
"Are those... soldiers from Yuan Country? Why are they here? "Ming Yu asked Yan Xiaoliu in confusion.
"Yes." Yan Xiaoliu frowned. The soldiers of Yuan Country had appeared here without the permission of the Jin Country. What were they trying to do?
Ming Yu said, "This place belongs to our Jin Nation, right?"
"Yes, the Yuan Country's soldiers cannot easily enter the Jin Country's territory. The general might not know about this yet. Let's go back and inform the general," Yan Xiaoliu said in a low voice.
"Wait a minute." Ming Yu pulled Yan Xiaoliu's hand. "Look, there are people over there."
Outside the small forest, there was a dense crowd of human heads.
So many people? Yan Xiaoliu's expression turned heavy. "I'll go take a look. You stay here and don't move. Don't let anyone discover you."
Ming Yu shook her head forcefully. "I want to go with you."
Yan Xiaoliu lowered his body and said in a low voice, "No, it's too dangerous. If we're discovered, I might not be able to protect you. Wait for me here, I'll be back soon."
As a soldier of the Jin Kingdom, he had the duty to protect the country. Seeing that the Yuan Kingdom's soldiers had appeared in the Jin Kingdom's territory for no reason, he had to investigate.
Ming Yu looked down and had to admit that Yan Xiaoliu's words made sense. She said in a low voice, "Then come back quickly."
"Hide here and don't make a sound. If you are discovered, ride away first. Don't worry about me. I will find you myself," Yan Xiaoliu instructed.
"Alright." Ming Yu understood the gravity of the matter. At this time, she would not be stubborn with Yan Xiaoliu.
Yan Xiaoliu gave him a few more reminders before he lowered his body and passed through the forest from the other side.
Although Ming Yu also wanted to see what was going on, she was clear about her own capabilities. If she followed Yan Xiaoliu, she would only be a burden.
She knew that her mother used to be the Heavenly Consort of Yuan Kingdom. When she was young, she had even lived in the Yuan Kingdom's palace for a period of time. However, the current Emperor of Yuan Kingdom seemed to be Shui Yichen. Wasn't he friends with her mother? Why did they send troops into the Jin Kingdom's territory without even asking for their opinion?
This was against the rules. If they were not careful, they would end up in a war.
She had heard that the soldiers of Yuan Country were all brought by her mother from overseas. If there was a war, wouldn't it be the same people fighting each other?
Mingyu thought in confusion. There was still no movement over there. She quietly raised her head and looked down. Other than the soldiers who were resting on the spot, there seemed to be no general.
"Get up, get up!" Suddenly, someone shouted from below.
"We have to pass through here before nightfall. Keep your spirits up."
"Will Jin Bing find out?"
"They're busy fighting in the wasteland. They won't notice us."
"…"
As Ming Yu listened to the discussion at the foot of the hill, her heart tightened. It seemed that nothing good would come out of the Yuan army's arrival in the Jin Kingdom.
She wondered how Yan Xiaoliu was doing.
Should she tell her uncle about this first, or should she look for Xiaoliu?
Ming Yu was hesitating when she suddenly felt the sunlight above her head being blocked. She looked up and saw a middle-aged man in the Yuan army's uniform staring at her with wide eyes.
Oh no! Ming Yu's heart tightened. She jumped up and tried to escape.
"There are people from the Jin Kingdom here!" The middle-aged man shouted and reached out to grab the back of Ming Yu's collar. He brought her down the hill as if he was carrying a little chick.
"Let go of me, let go of me. I'm just going into the mountains to cut firewood. Who are you?" Ming Yu shouted. If she had known earlier, she would not have stayed here.
The middle-aged man glanced at the girl's brocade clothes. "You don't even have a chopper. How can you cut firewood?"
Ming Yu shouted, "Who said I can't cut firewood without a chopper? Can't I just go into the mountains to collect herbs and firewood?"
"What's going on?" A clear voice came from the other side of the forest. A general in armor walked over.
Looking at her figure, she seemed to be a woman.
Ming Yu felt that this person was familiar. She seemed to have seen her before.
"General Shen, I caught a little girl hiding on the hill and eavesdropping on us. I'm afraid she's from the Jin Kingdom," the middle-aged man said. "So I caught her and brought her back."
"Let her go first." Shen Luoyang frowned. "Why would Ye Chunnan send a little girl to patrol?"
The middle-aged man let go of Ming Yu.
Ming Yu turned to look at General Shen with a pair of innocent and wronged eyes. "General, I'm just passing by …"
"This is the wilderness. Why would you pass by here?" Shen Luoyang looked at the little girl in front of him. Why did he feel like he had seen her somewhere before? She looked so familiar.
"I snuck out. I was afraid of being caught, so I took the small path," Ming Yu said in a low voice. Ming Yu said in a low voice. Fortunately, they had tied the two horses elsewhere. Otherwise, they would have been discovered.
Shen Luoyang kept staring at Ming Yu. "Why did you sneak out? Where do you live? "
"I live in Wasteland City. My family was poor when I was young, so my father sold me to a rich family as a child bride. They kept wanting to beat me up, so I ran away," Ming Yu said, feeling wronged. Her eyes were red as if she had really suffered a lot.
"Dressed like this and you were still beaten?" The middle-aged man's face was full of disbelief. This little girl looked like she had been pampered since she was young. She did not look like she had suffered at all.
Ming Yu said indignantly, "I stole these clothes. I don't usually wear them like this."
"Then where are you running to?" Shen Luoyang asked.
"I don't know. Wherever I go, as long as I don't get caught," Ming Yu said. "Who are you?"
Shen Luoyang took a step forward and held Ming Yu's hand. He knew why this little girl looked familiar. She looked too much like someone else.
"Ming Yu!" Shen Luoyang did not call out her name. He just called out her name silently.
She actually recognized me? I can't be that unlucky!
Seeing Ming Yu's expression, Shen Luoyang knew that he had guessed correctly.
This little girl was Mo Ming Yu, the daughter of the Heavenly Consort. He had actually met her here.
"Little girl, since you've seen us, we can't let you go at this time. Don't worry, we won't hurt you," Shen Luoyang said in a low voice. "Follow me. Let's go."
The middle-aged man frowned. "General, she is from the Jin Kingdom."
"So what? Could it be that any of you have the heart to lay your hands on a little girl? Are you still men? "Shen Luoyang asked with a cold face.
