    Yang Su didn’t dare to make any publicity and searched secretly for two days to no avail. The King of Longxi was in good health, and there was no doctor watching. After he fell asleep for four days, the fever finally subsided.

    In any case, life is not in danger.

    The first thing he did after waking up was to recruit several lieutenants in the camp.

    “Don’t act rashly on this matter. As far as I know, the Tatar leader Timur is not such a repetitive villain. If they hadn’t attacked this time and You Yuntali had cooperated with others, they would not have been defeated to this point. We will wait until I find out.”

    But some people immediately objected: “Your Majesty, how can the Tatars believe it! You Yuntai has already entered the Chief Envoy’s Office. It is probably the old immortal Yao Gui who colluded with Timur in an attempt to severely defeat our army.”

    “I wonder if the prince and the Tatars had not been in a stalemate back then, and were beyond reach, how would it have been Xiao Fangye’s turn to sit in that position…” Another deputy general said angrily.

    Gao Yan just woke up and his complexion was not very good. He only glanced at the tent lightly.

    He didn’t say anything, but he frightened the two generals so much that they knelt down with a thud and called out in unison: “Your Majesty!”

    “Tian Xing, Guo Chengyi kept his mouth shut and went to get twenty military sticks.”

    Guo Chengyi and Tian Xing were pulled down.

    However, in front of a group of soldiers, the two lieutenants under Gao Yan stripped off their pants and were beaten to pieces. Even a rough man like Guo Chengyi felt ashamed, but he didn’t expect that he looked at Tian Xing next to him and kept grinning.

    “You’re still laughing so hard, you all dare to climb on our prince’s head and shit.” Guo Chengyi cursed.

    Tian Xing was not annoyed: “If you don’t keep your mouth shut, I’m afraid the prince’s twenty military sticks won’t hit you enough.”

    Guo Chengyi was full of grievances, and then heard Tian Xing say: “Just now I called the Emperor by his name, but the prince did not scold us, he only told us to be careful with our words. Do you know what the prince meant?”

    “You mean…”


    Yang Su in the tent was also surprised and happy. It is no exaggeration to say that in the past few days, everyone was almost losing weight.

    “Yang Su, you’ve worked hard these days. Go down and rest. You don’t need to take care of me here.” Gao Yan said to Yang Su.

    “I’m not tired, my slave.” Yang Su stood there without moving, his expression was abnormal, and he hesitated to speak.

    Gao Yan drank the medicine handed to him unhurriedly and looked at him: “Why swallow and vomit? If you have anything to do, just tell me.”

    Yang Su shrank his neck and said, “Hua Shiconcubine…is lost.”

    The king of Longxi shook his hand and all the medicine in the bowl spilled. The bowl rolled to the ground. The tent was covered with thick fur and was not broken.

    Yang Su hurriedly lowered his body to pick up the bowl and handed it to the boy beside him.

    After a long while, I heard Gao Yan speak.

    “Isn’t there someone guarding Zhuangzi?”

    Yang Suxin said: “It’s true that there are guards on Zhuangzi, but you didn’t give any instructions to take Concubine Hua into custody. Who would have thought that the palace would not want to keep her?”

    But naturally you can’t say this to Gao Yan.

    “I heard from the guards that no one in Zhuangzi went out that night. Concubine Hua must have crawled out from the dog hole in the corner.” Hua Jin was thin, and the hole could have accommodated a child, so she must have been able to get through it with her bare hands.

    The corner of Gao Yan’s mouth twitched, but he didn’t expect that a person like her could even get into a dog hole.

    He thought he had hinted clearly enough that he was rebellious. As smart as she was, she should have been able to understand that she had a blood feud with Xiao Fangye, right?

    What’s more, it’s not just that, there are huge rivers and mountains separated by thousands of miles.

    Of Emperor Jing Zhao’s love for his daughter, others may only know one thing but not the other.

    “How many days has it been?”

    “On the night of Chongjiu, today is exactly the fifth day.”


    Hua Jin went out from the village and had a good idea. She found a widow in the country who gave her twenty taels of silver to buy a guide. Without this thing, she could not walk a hundred miles and could not even enter the city gate.

    Traveling hundreds of miles away from your residence requires a road sign, otherwise you will be punished as a crime.

    The widow was not happy to accept her money. She could not travel more than ten miles in her life, so what was the use of this thing? This money was enough for her to use for several years, so she hurriedly ran to the village chief to take care of it.

    Hua Jin made up a half-truth and half-false story about a bully who robbed a maid and told it to her. The widow saw that although Hua Jin was wearing a coarse hairpin skirt and had rough hands, but she was good-looking, she believed her. She also thought about the desolation of being a young widow, and even sympathized with her.

    Hua Jin hid in the widow’s house for more than ten days, thinking that according to what the manager Wang said before, the King of Longxi was too busy to take care of himself now, and he was afraid that he would not be able to find anyone for a few days.

    Zhuangzi in the mountains of Longxi Wang is located between Ganzhou and Suzhou. In fact, it is closer to Suzhou. Ganzhou Chenghuajin will not go there, so he wants to take a detour to the Central Plains via Suzhou.

    After escaping from the palace three years ago, Hua Jin knew that people’s hearts were sinister along the way, so she deliberately blackened her face and dressed up like a local village woman.

    The Longxi area was under martial law, and every city gate was guarded. It was said that the King of Longxi personally sent troops, and all the women who passed by had to be interrogated one by one.

    It’s nothing, these soldiers have never seen Hua Jin, and they haven’t even posted half of her portrait. Even Yang Su may not recognize her when she is dressed like this.

    Speaking of which, Hua Jin was unlucky. She was covered in dust, and the black ash on her face had long been sweated off when she walked to the city gate. The ash was white in patches, which inevitably made people suspicious.

    What’s more, the king of Longxi was so arrogant after losing the battle and acted without any rules. He actually built two sheds at two places of the city gate and invited several women inside.

    Hua Jin was pushed directly into the shed.

    The women were dizzy today and said in a bad tone: “Expose your right ankle to the old woman and then leave.”

    When Hua Jin heard this, she knew something was wrong. She turned around and wanted to leave, but she was told by a woman to hold her tightly from behind. Her legs and wrists felt cold.

    She knows it’s over.

    Sure enough, she heard a woman shouting loudly: “Go and call someone quickly, the escaped slave who committed adultery has been found!”

    Ugh.

    When Hua Jin heard this, she was so angry that she just wanted to hit someone.

    However, she asked a woman to tie her up and throw her directly into the carriage. She didn’t know how long the carriage jolted before it stopped.
