Lu Lingzhi's killing of Ye Yaoyao did not attract other people's attention. They set off as usual the next day.
"Are you just going to leave Ye Yaoyao there?" Although Ye Zhen did not like Ye Yaoyao, the thought of her being left in an unknown place made her feel very sad.
"Do you think I am too cruel?" Lu Lingzhi looked up at Ye Zhen. "She treated you like that. Do you still care?"
Ye Zhen said lightly, "Isn't it cruel for you to kill a person so easily? Ye Yaoyao is good to me. It has nothing to do with you."
Lu Lingzhi looked at Ye Zhen and smiled. "It seems that you have not seen Mo Rongzhan's cruelty. I learned it all from him."
"He is different from you." Ye Zhen said.
"What's the difference? Isn't he killing people?" Lu Lingzhi asked.
Mo Rongzhan did kill people, but he was different from Lu Lingzhi. She knew this very well.
"He is not you." Ye Zhen whispered.
"You can forgive Mo Rongzhan and sympathize with Ye Yaoyao. Why can't you talk to me calmly?" Lu Lingzhi asked in a low voice.
Ye Zhen looked up at him faintly. Why can't I talk to him calmly? Does this question still need to be answered?
She didn't die and come back to life to forgive him.
Lu Lingzhi did not want to push her too hard. He still believed that one day he would get her forgiveness.
On the third day after Ye Zhen and the others left the farmhouse, Shen Yi found Ye Yaoyao's body near the farmhouse.
"It seems that the Witch King took this road." Shen Yi said in a low voice.
"Isn't Ye Yaoyao one of their people? How could she be killed here?" Another shadow guard asked.
Shen Yi frowned and thought for a moment. "It seems that they have internal strife."
"Let's hurry up and continue to chase." The others said.
"Let's go." Shen Yi nodded.
They continued to chase for two days, carefully checking the inns and farmhouses along the way. Finally, they found a secret signal left by the Queen. Shen Yi divided his men into two groups, chasing Qi Ruoshui from the mountain road and the official road.
Unfortunately, they still couldn't catch up.
Along the way, Qi Ruoshui made many puzzles. Originally, Shen Yi could still track the signals left by Ye Zhen, but as they got farther and farther away from the capital, the signals gradually disappeared.
"Shen daren, what should we do?" Sun Huai asked Shen Yi in a low voice. They had completely lost track of the Empress.
"They will definitely return to Xiliang. There are two ways to get to Xiliang from the Jin Nation. One is through the Wasteland, and the other is through Shahao City. Which way do you think the Shaman King will take?" Shen Yi asked in a low voice.
"General Ye is guarding the wasteland. The Shaman King shouldn't be so stupid as to pass through the wasteland." Sun Huai said.
Shen Yi thought about it carefully and agreed with his subordinate. There were Ye Chunnan and Tang Zhen in the Wilderness. It would not be easy for the Witch King to pass through there smoothly. She would not make such a choice.
"I will write a letter to General Ye and ask him to guard the pass of the Wilderness. From today onwards, we have to speed up to Sha City. We must reach there before the Witch King of Xiliang." Shen Yi said in a deep voice.
Wasteland, barracks.
Ye Chunnan gasped and jumped down from the horse. He had fought with the Northern Darkest Kingdom before and knew that the military power of the Northern Darkest Kingdom was strong, at least stronger than that of Dongqing and Xiliang. What's more, their commander this time was Wan Ziliang.
He and Tang Zhen had a hard time fighting them to a draw.
"If we don't have reinforcements, it may be more difficult next." Tang Zhen whispered to Ye Chunnan. They felt that this war was difficult.
Ye Chunnan nodded gently. "Yes, the Emperor should have received the news. I believe he will send reinforcements soon."
Tang Zhen's face was a little heavy. "If Wan Ziliang doesn't attack in other places, we will have reinforcements."
"Do you think the Northern Darkest Kingdom will fight with us in other places?" Ye Chunnan turned his head sharply to look at him.
"You know better than me about the strength of the Northern Darkest Kingdom. This time, they allied with Xiliang and didn't bring many troops." Tang Zhen looked in the direction of the Xiliang barracks. "Don't forget, the Emperor only took back Shahao City last year."
Ye Chunnan's face was ugly. He knew that Tang Zhen was right. If the Northern Darkest Kingdom launched an attack in other places, it would be difficult for the Emperor to increase their support.
"Now it depends on whether Dongqing is willing to ally with us," Tang Zhen said.
Although Ye Yiqing was the Prime Minister of Dongqing, Li Heng was the real decision-maker. If Li Heng had scruples and refused to send troops, there was no other way.
"Dongqing will ally with us," Ye Chunnan said in a deep voice. "They have to do this."
Tang Zhen glanced at Ye Chunnan. "Yes, they have to."
"General, general!" Ge Kuan strode over from the front, holding a letter in his hand. "General, there is an urgent message."
Was it sent from the capital? Ye Chunnan raised his eyebrows and took the letter from Ge Kuan. With just a glance, his face became gloomy.
"What's wrong?" Tang Zhen asked hurriedly.
Ye Chunnan took a deep breath and suppressed the anger that surged up. "The Witch King of Xiliang took the Empress away."
Tang Zhen and Ge Kuan blurted out, "What?"
"The letter was sent by Shen Yi. He didn't say it too clearly. He asked me to send people to guard the pass of the wilderness. The Witch King of Xiliang may take the Empress back to Xiliang from here." Ye Chunnan said coldly. He had to calm down and not go back to the capital to ask what had happened.
Wasn't Yao Yao in the palace? How could she be taken away by the Witch King of Xiliang?
"The Empress is now with the Witch King of Xiliang," Tang Zhen asked anxiously. It was hard for him not to care about Yao Yao.
Ye Chunnan said, "Not only the Witch King of Xiliang, but also Lu Lingzhi."
Tang Zhen was stunned and his face turned blue. He knew too well Lu Lingzhi's obsession with Yao Yao.
Ge Kuan stammered, "General, then … what should we do now?"
"Go and call Jin Shanshan," Ye Chunnan whispered.
"General Ye …" Tang Zhen looked at him.
"I can't let the Witch King of Xiliang take Yao Yao away. Jin Shanshan has seen Yao Yao. It's best for her to guard the pass." Ye Chunnan said coldly.
Tang Zhen asked, "Is there a portrait of the Witch King of Xiliang?"
Ye Chunnan hurriedly opened another piece of paper. There was a portrait of Qi Ruoshui inside.
"Woman …" Ye Chunnan and Tang Zhen looked at each other. This woman was actually the Witch King of Xiliang.
"I will send someone to the capital to find out what happened." Ye Chunnan said.
Tang Zhen whispered, "Let someone guard the pass first. In any case, the Empress can't be taken to Xiliang."
