"Ming Yu escaped?" Ye Chunnan slammed the table and stood up, glaring angrily at the soldier who came to report, "Didn't I tell you to watch the princess carefully? How could you let her escape? She's just a little girl, how could you not catch up to her? "
The soldier said softly, "The princess took advantage of the time when no one was paying attention and rode out of the city gates, heading straight for the small path in the valley."
Ye Chunnan now knew why they could not catch up to Ming Yu. That small path could only be traversed by one person, and in consideration of Ming Yu's safety, they definitely did not dare to squeeze in. "Then what about Yan Xiaoliu?"
"He kept chasing after the princess." The soldier hurriedly said.
"You bunch of useless things!" Ye Chunnan scolded angrily, "What about Ming Xi and the rest?"
Ge Kuan said, "General, Young Master Ming Xi and the rest left early in the morning, saying that they were going to Dingdu City."
Veins popped out on Ye Chunnan's forehead. He had already objected to them going to Dingdu City yesterday, but they still sneaked away.
This pair of brother and sister, neither of them was easy to deal with!
"Ge Kuan, gather thirty elite soldiers and follow me to find Ming Yu." Ye Chunnan said solemnly.
"Yes, General." Ge Kuan replied and left.
They followed the mountain path, but there were too many paths in the valley. After searching for a long time, they finally found two horses grazing by the side of the road.
"These seem to be... the horses of the princess and Yan Xiaoliu." A soldier recognized these two horses as Ming Yu's.
Ye Chunnan's face darkened, "Split up and search for them."
They should not have met with any mishap in the wilderness. Yan Xiaoliu's martial arts were not weak, and he knew of Ming Yu's riding skills. Moreover, he had trained in self-defense since young, so it was impossible for anything to happen to them.
The valley was too big, and there were many small paths. The soldiers searched for a long time but did not find any traces.
"General, there's a hill over there, and below it is a forest. Could the princess have gone there?" Ge Kuan said.
Ye Chunnan frowned and said, "Beyond that is the border of Yuan Country. Why would Ming Yu and the rest go there?"
Although he said this, Ye Chunnan still went over to check. Upon entering the forest, he immediately felt something strange.
"General, look, they are all footprints." Ge Kuan said.
Ye Chunnan's face was gloomy. These footprints were obviously not Ming Yu and Yan Xiaoliu's. It was impossible for the two of them to leave such footprints. There were at least a dozen people.
"Look around." Ye Chunnan gripped the hilt of his sword tightly, his eyes turning cold.
"Yes." Ge Kuan replied in a low voice and led the two into the depths of the forest.
In the valley, they found more footprints and tracks.
"General, there's still a fire here. It looks like they just left," Ge Kuan said. "I'll chase after them and take a look."
"You take some people to catch up with them. I will go to Qingyuan to have a look." Ye Chunnan said that they could go to Qingyuan or Wasteland City from here. It was impossible for the Jin Nation to send soldiers into the valley, so the only explanation was that they were from the Yuan Nation.
He wanted to go to the border of the Wilderness to take a look. If it was Yuan Country, since they had chosen to take the mountain road, they would not be attacking Jin Country. Instead, they would be entering Qingyuan.
Sneaking into Green Plains … one didn't need to think to know why!
At this time, night had fallen. Ye Chunnan rode his horse out of the forest. When he was about to reach the intersection, he saw a shadow running quickly in front of him.
What a fast Qinggong! This person's inner force must be very strong.
Ye Chunnan thought to himself as he urged his horse to catch up. Under the moonlight, he felt that the figure was very familiar.
"Yan Xiaoliu?" Ye Chunnan's eyes flashed with surprise. He jumped off his horse and chased after the figure.
Yan Xiaoliu felt a cold wind blowing behind him and immediately put his hand on it.
"General?" Yan Xiaoliu finally saw the familiar figure and recognized that the person behind him was Ye Chunnan.
"Why are you here? Where's Mingyu?" Ye Chunnan asked in a deep voice.
Yan Xiaoliu hurriedly said, "Mingyu is with Shen Luoyang. General, the Yuan Army is here, and there are many of them. Shui Yichen is leading them personally."
Shui Yichen? Ye Chunnan was shocked. He had already guessed that the Yuan Army had sneaked into Jin Country's border, but he didn't expect it to be Shui Yichen. "Where are they?"
"They went in the direction of Qingyuan." Yan Xiaoliu panted. "General, I have to go back to find Mingyu."
"Why did you let Mingyu fall into Shen Luoyang's hands?" Ye Chunnan asked angrily.
Yan Xiaoliu said, "Mingyu found the Yuan Army in the forest. I … I went to see how many people there were, but I didn't expect Mingyu to be taken away by Shen Luoyang. However, Shen Luoyang seemed to have recognized her and didn't tell Shui Yichen that she brought Mingyu with her."
Ye Chunnan had seen Shen Luoyang before. She was a very upright woman.
"Go find Mingyu immediately. I will lead the troops to the border of the Wasteland." Ye Chunnan said.
"General, be careful. I don't think Shui Yichen is that simple." Yan Xiaoliu said.
If Shui Yichen was that simple, he wouldn't have become the Yuan Country's Emperor. That guy was very ambitious. This time, he was definitely planning to take advantage of the situation.
"Be careful. Protect Mingyu." Ye Chunnan said in a low voice.
"Yes, I won't let anything happen to Mingyu." Yan Xiaoliu promised.
Ye Chunnan nodded. "Besides Shui Yichen, who else?"
"The Yuan Country's General and Shen Luoyang. The others didn't find anything," Yan Xiaoliu said.
"I got it. Go find Mingyu quickly." Ye Chunnan said in a low voice. He didn't feel safe leaving Mingyu in the hands of the Yuan soldiers. Even if that person was Shen Luoyang.
Yan Xiaoliu didn't hesitate. After saying goodbye to Ye Chunnan, he went back the way he came.
Ye Chunnan sent out a signal for Ge Kuan and the rest to come back.
The secret of Shui Yichen personally leading the troops into battle was actually only discovered today. Previously, when they left Yuan Country, the spies on the road didn't even notice them. It could be seen how well they did it.
He wanted to know what exactly Shui Yichen wanted to do.
"General, look. There's a fire over there." Ge Kuan pointed in front. In the darkness, there was a faint fire flickering.
Ye Chunnan grunted in acknowledgement. He frowned and looked in front. He didn't bring too many people. He only brought a hundred elite soldiers. Moreover, they were all dressed in night clothes. Even if they were to stand here, the people over there wouldn't notice them.
"So many people?" Ge Kuan looked at the heads in front of him in surprise.
"How did they do it? No one actually noticed them." Another person said in surprise.
Ye Chunnan said, "They must have gone their separate ways. Our secret guards in Yuan Country might have already been eliminated."
Otherwise, it would be impossible for there to be no news at all.
"Shui Yichen … Don't tell me he wants to start a war with us?" Ge Kuan asked in a low voice.
Ye Chunnan said, "Even if he wants to start a war, do you think we'll be afraid of him?"
"If he dares to, then he's really ungrateful. Don't forget how he got his throne." Ge Kuan said unhappily.
The people of Yuan Country would allow it.
