Ye Zhen and Jin Shanshan were arranged to sit in another carriage. Wu Ming left the carriage that Jin Shanshan had smashed on the side of the road and rode his horse around Ye Zhen.
"Your Highness …" Jin Shanshan looked at Ye Zhen with remorse and whispered, "I am useless."
"No, you have done very well." Ye Zhen patted the back of her hand and looked at Qi Zixi, who was sitting silently. "Xi 'er, come here."
Qi Zixi's eyes were full of horror. In order not to let others see his fear, he tried to pretend to be calm, which made him look even more pitiful. He looked at Ye Zhen warily. The old woman in front of him looked very strange. He didn't know her at all. How did she know his name?
"Xi 'er …" Ye Zhen looked at him doubtfully.
Jin Shanshan said, "I'm afraid he didn't recognize you. If you didn't call me at the city gate, I would have been …"
Only then did Ye Zhen remember that she was still an old woman. She touched her face and said helplessly, "It's true."
Qi Ruoshui, who had his eyes closed and did not speak, said softly, "Liu Chen's disguise is unparalleled in the world. Unless he washes off the disguise on your face, you will have to wear such a face for the rest of your life."
If she had to wear such a face for the rest of her life, it would be better to die!
Ye Zhen was born to love beauty. Even on weekdays, she carefully took care of her skin. She believed that no woman would care about her appearance. She also liked to be beautiful forever. What's more, she was only eighteen years old, in her prime. She didn't want to become an old woman like this.
"The Witch King means that if Liu Chen is caught at the city gate, I can only be like this forever."
"Liu Chen will not be caught so easily." Qi Ruoshui gave Jin Shanshan a sarcastic look.
Jin Shanshan asked, "Then where is she?"
Qi Ruoshui's eyes darkened. She was really worried that Liu Chen had not come back yet.
"If Liu Chen doesn't come back, you don't have to go back alive." Qi Ruoshui said to Jin Shanshan.
"She must be by my side." Ye Zhen looked at Qi Ruoshui and said coldly. She couldn't let anything happen to Jin Shanshan, otherwise, her brother would be very sad.
Qi Ruoshui didn't pay any more attention to them. The carriage rolled on the wasteland. The wasteland was too big, and every road could be traveled. When Ye Chunnan heard the news and wanted to chase after them, she couldn't find them.
"Lock them up first. I will interrogate them when I return." Ye Chunnan's face was gloomy. He had just returned from the battlefield today. Although he did not lose the battle, he had been feeling uneasy. He felt that something had happened, so he immediately brought people to the city gate.
On the way, he heard that Jin Shanshan had gone to chase after a carriage, and the others had been left behind by her.
When Ye Chunnan arrived at the city gate, he just happened to see all the soldiers surrounding and attacking a young lady. Many of them had already been knocked unconscious by her, and those soldiers were not her match at all.
"General, she was the one who brought the empress through the city gate. Deputy General Jin went to chase after the empress, but he hasn't returned yet." The general guarding the city came over and said to Ye Chunnan.
Ye Chunnan looked at Flowing Chen and raised her sword to stop her from killing the soldiers.
Flowing Chen was punched in the shoulder by Ye Chunnan. She took a few steps back and narrowed her eyes at Ye Chunnan. She felt that this man would not be as easy to deal with as the soldiers guarding the city.
"Where do you want to take our empress?" Ye Chunnan looked at Flowing Chen coldly and asked.
Flowing Chen smiled coldly. He could roughly guess who this man was. "She is the guest of our Shaman King. You can ask her yourself."
Ye Chunnan was anxious to find Ye Zhen and Jin Shanshan. He focused on fighting with Flowing Chen. The two fought for hundreds of rounds before he finally captured Flowing Chen alive.
Ye Chunnan was panting slightly. He stared at Flowing Chen. This woman was definitely not an ordinary guard of the priest's palace. Her martial arts were too powerful. It was not easy for him to win against her.
"Lock her up." Ye Chunnan said in a low voice and tied up Flowing Chen.
Flowing Chen looked at him expressionlessly. "You don't have to hope to find Lu Yaoyao. The Shaman King has already taken her away."
"Then don't think about living." Ye Chunnan said indifferently.
"I'm just a guard. What's the pity if I die?" Flowing Chen sneered.
Ye Chunnan motioned to the people next to him to take Flowing Chen away and let his confidants keep an eye on him. Today's incident made him very sure that there must be spies among the soldiers in the city. He could not trust those people and only trusted the light cavalry he brought with him.
"Everyone else, come with me." Ye Chunnan said in a deep voice. He took Ge Kuan and others to chase after Ye Zhen and Jin Shanshan.
They searched along the messy wheel marks but still could not find any trace of Ye Zhen and Jin Shanshan.
Nowhere to be found
The meaning of this sentence made the tip of his heart ache. They were the two most important people in his life. One was his sister, the other was his beloved. He had deliberately asked Jin Shanshan to bring more people to the city gate, but she was still missing.
"General, there is a carriage in front." Ge Kuan shouted.
Ye Chunnan immediately patted his horse to check. The wooden plank behind the carriage was smashed. He saw that it was Jin Shanshan who broke it. It seemed that Jin Shanshan had caught up with Ye Zhen, but where were they?
"General, look." Ge Kuan pointed to the wall inside the carriage. In the gap of the wall, there was a white silk handkerchief.
This was left by Ye Zhen in the chaos. Because it was stuffed in the gap, it was not easy to find.
"It's the Empress's." Ye Chunnan whispered. He took out the silk handkerchief with a peach blossom embroidered on it. He recognized that this was Ye Zhen's needlework. Not many women would embroider a peach blossom like a plum blossom.
Ge Kuan looked at Ye Chunnan cautiously. "General, this …"
Ye Chunnan said in a deep voice, "Shan Shan was taken to Xiliang with the Empress."
"The Witch King of Xiliang is so powerful!" Ge Kuan cried. Why does it feel like the Witch King is unimpeded wherever he goes? The gate has been strictly guarded. Can they still leave so easily?
"Bring all the people you caught to me." Ye Chunnan said. For the first time, he was so anxious, but he couldn't show it. There were more battles waiting for him on the front line. He must remain calm.
Ge Kuan went to bring the people in person. After a while, he came to see Ye Chunnan with a gloomy face. "General, except for the woman, everyone else has committed suicide."
"What?" Ye Chunnan glared at Ge Kuan. "Did they commit suicide or were they killed?"
"It looks like they committed suicide, but they aren't guarded by our people. Only the woman is," Ge Kuan said.
Ye Chunnan said coldly, "You stay here to clean up the spies. I will take the woman to the barracks."
Ge Kuan answered in a low voice. If the spies in the city were not eliminated, there might be more trouble in the future.
