As soon as they reached the cave, a team of more than ten people holding torches came over along a small stone path under their feet.

Fu Rong's whole body instantly stretched like a bow.

He pulled Qin Shu behind him and held a handful of pebbles in his right hand.

Qin Shu stood behind him and quietly slapped two invisibility talismans on the two of them.

The invisibility charm is her means of saving her life, but it has a fatal weakness: the invisibility charm only erases the shadow, not the body. As long as you touch it, you can still touch it.

If the details of this life-saving method were to become known to others, the existence of the invisibility talisman would be meaningless.

Therefore, if this secret can be kept secret, it is better not to let others know.

As they got closer, Qin Shu heard one of them complain, "How long will it take to search like this?"

Another person continued, "Why do you care so much? We just do whatever the higher-ups tell us to do. Can you really control the higher-ups?"

The person walking at the end asked suspiciously, "Hey, where do you think these two are hiding?"

The second to last snorted disdainfully, "Why do you care where he hides? I heard that Ningzhou's 10,000 soldiers are also heading here, and they will arrive before dawn. If these two could have left the mountain, they would have left long ago. If they didn't leave the mountain, they would have been caught sooner or later."

The soldiers who were searching the mountain walked over slowly. Qin Shu felt Fu Ying's stiff body relax slightly, and she quickly put the invisibility talisman into the space.

Fu Ying looked back at Qin Shu, took her hand and disappeared into the cave.

This place is actually not a cave, it is just an angle between two rocks.

The torches passing by from time to time on the mountain occasionally brought a fleeting light to this small shelter, but more often than not, the entire cave was shrouded in darkness.

Qin Shu took out the package that Fu Ying handed her last time from the space.

Inside were Fu'e outer garments and food.

There is also a water bag.

When escaping from the cave during the day, Qin Shu put them all into the space.

Qin Shu poured out the water in the water bag, filled it with spiritual spring water, and gave it to Fu Ying.

Seeing that he had drunk the water, Qin Shu whispered in his ear, "Can you find a way to get two sets of clothes later?"

Fu Ying turned his head and looked at her sparkling eyes so close to him.

Probably because she couldn't see clearly, she kept her face very close and her eyes were wide.

As she spoke, the warm breath fanned his face, feeling itchy, like a feather brushing gently.

Fu Yan's heart moved, and he stretched out his arms to embrace Qin Shu in his arms.

Just as he was about to lower his head to take it in, a round object was thrust into his mouth.

Qin Shu said angrily: "Hurry up and have a good rest, we don't have much time left."

Fu Ying chuckled, but did not insist.

After drinking the water, the fatigue in my body disappeared and the pain in the wound seemed to be relieved a lot.

Fu Rong sat cross-legged in meditation to regulate his breathing, while Qin Shu also took the time to eat something to replenish her strength.

After a while, a faint sound of breaking air was heard in the air.

Several dark shadows floated down not far from the cave like butterflies in the bushes.

Fu Rong opened his eyes and held down Qin Shu's raised hand, "Our people."

The leading black-clad man knelt before Fu Ying and bowed, "Master."

Fu Ying nodded slightly, "Go find two sets of clothes. How is the situation in the forest?"

"The officers and soldiers received an order to search for the bandits who robbed and killed the Jiedushi. Two teams of soldiers set out to Yizhou and Jincheng to report the news, saying..."

Qin Shu felt that the man in black seemed to look up at her before she continued, "The Jiedushi and Lord Xiaofu from the Ministry of Works and Waterworks have fallen off a cliff and died."

Qin Shu sneered: This place is only a day's ride away from Jincheng. Announcing that the two were dead can, on the one hand, seize the opportunity to borrow soldiers from Yizhou to patrol the mountains and "suppress bandits"; on the other hand, it can confuse the judgment of the Jincheng soldiers and delay the time for sending rescue troops.

It seems that Prince Ning is determined not to give up until he achieves his goal this time.

Fortunately, it had rained heavily before, otherwise the grass in the forest was dense, and if King Ning had someone set a fire, I am afraid that no matter how many ways she had to save her life, she would not be able to escape this disaster.

Therefore, King Ning acted perversely for his own selfish interests, and even God was not on his side.

The men in black quickly brought two sets of rattan armor and short jackets and trousers.

Soon, a group of more than ten people dressed as palace soldiers holding torches walked up the mountain in a grand manner.

Fu Ying and Qin Shu both did simple disguises, blended into the crowd, and quickly reached the top of the mountain.

But if we go further north, it won't work.

Someone holding a torch shouted at Fu Ying and his group, "Stop! Which camp are you from?"

The Fu family guard who was walking in front hurriedly smiled and said, "Sir, I am Wang Tiezhu from the East Third Battalion, and the captain is Wu Changshui."

The man turned around in front of the group with a sullen face, and suddenly shouted, "Go call Wu Changshui over!"

"Sir, sir." The Fu family guards hurriedly stopped him and said in a panic, "Sir, calm down. I know I was wrong."

He calmly stuffed a silver ingot into the man's hand and said, "If our captain knew about this, I would lose my job."

The man raised his hand vigorously and snorted coldly, "Don't try to fool me with this little stuff. I told you to search for people in the front mountain, but you dared to run to the back mountain. I think your behavior is very suspicious. Come here!"

The person next to him bowed and said, "Here!"

"Take them away and interrogate them separately. Then send someone to find Wu Changshui."

"Yes!" More than ten soldiers from the government surrounded them, confiscated the weapons of Fu Ying and his group, and pushed and shoved them away.

Qin Shu walked in front of Fu Ying. Compared with Fu Ying's height, she looked particularly petite.

The man's eyes flickered over Qin Shu, and he suddenly stretched out his voice and said, "Stop."

The man pointed at Qin Shu and ordered, "You, come here!"

Fu Rong's body tensed up instantly.

Qin Shu patted his hand calmly, signaling him to be patient, then walked towards the leader with a smile.

Walking closer to the man, Qin Shu bowed slightly, "Sir."

Although he looked weak, his voice was that of a man.

The man looked at Qin Shu carefully and walked around her: she was frail and fair-skinned, and at first glance she looked like a pampered young man from a wealthy family.

Qin Shu chuckled, grabbed the man's hand, took him aside, stuffed a banknote into his hand, and whispered, "Your Excellency, I heard that this is a great opportunity to get promoted and make a fortune. I spent money and asked someone to help me get this job. Please be kind and be flexible."

The man glanced down, and the two hundred taels on the banknote almost blinded him.

He crumpled the banknote, stuffed it into his sleeve pocket calmly, and whispered, "This is not a good job. If you don't do it well, you might lose your head."

"Don't go to the back slope, just hang around in the front. When the Ningzhou soldiers arrive, our mission will be accomplished."

Qin Shu's eyes turned and she asked in a low voice, "What if the thief ran to the back mountain?"

The man sighed, "Why are you so stupid? If I tell you to be in the front, then you should be in the front. Go ahead and continue searching the mountain!"

Qin Shu was confused, but she understood, and said with a smile: "Thank you for your advice, sir. I will go with you to search the mountain. You are busy, sir."

The man waved his hand.

Qin Shu quickly ran to Fu Ying and urged him in a low voice: "Go, go, go, go quickly."

The group returned along the same route.
