"How is Li Yu now? Where did Li Yu find this master? Your lightness skills are amazing. How old are you this year, little sister..." After making sure she was safe, Shen Muwan started asking three questions in a row.

Looking at her sparkling eyes, Lin Qinghe said patiently, "If you don't go back, he will die."

"What...how could this happen? Is it a relapse of an old illness?" Shen Muwan asked worriedly.

"Oh, he is indeed sick." Lin Qinghe nodded. He should not be feeling well now as she had "poisoned" him and also injected some violent spiritual power into Li Yu's body.

"Then please take me back as soon as possible. I know a little bit about medicine, maybe I can cure him..." Shen Muwan's eyes dimmed for a moment.

"Well, how do you know I'm a girl?" Lin Qinghe was a little surprised because the clothes she was wearing were men's clothes.

"When you hugged me, I felt it... Your frame is very slender, not like a man's, so I think you should be a girl." Shen Muwan smiled slightly.

It turned out to be the case.

Lin Qinghe raised his eyebrows. This method of judgment was a bit novel. "Then you can't tell anyone else. This is our secret~"

Lin Qinghe smiled, and although Shen Muwan couldn't see her face clearly in the dark, she still laughed with her, "Okay."

"I haven't asked the girl's name yet..." Shen Muwan asked quietly.

"Lin He." Lin Qing He suddenly took her hand and said, "Follow me later."

Shen Muwan nodded when she heard this.

They stayed in the cabin until the sky turned pale, and then the boat started to move slowly. Someone was walking around on the boat, saying, "Let's go!"

But when the boat reached the pass, it was stopped.

"Stop the boat! Prince Jing has ordered a check to see if there are any fugitives on board!" The officers and soldiers stopped the boat and refused to let it go.

"Everyone come down!"

"Sir, we only have a few people on board except for the cargo, so there are really no fugitives..."

"Whether it is there or not, we have to check to know. Why are you talking so much nonsense?" After seeing that everyone on the ship had got off, the leading officer walked towards the cabin where the cargo was placed.

This is the place where people can hide best, and the prince has ordered a thorough inspection.

We must not let anyone escape!

This boatman was transporting goods from the north to the south for resale. In the cabin were various ornaments made of northern wood, as well as a lot of jade produced in the north, and bracelets made of Xiuyan jade.

After the leading officer came in, he carefully uncovered some of the things covered with cloth. After checking all the places where people could be hidden, the officer left.

He waved his hand after getting off the boat and said, "The inspection is complete, you can go."

The boatman responded repeatedly, "Okay, thank you, sir..."

After boarding the ship, we immediately sailed away. Although this trip of transporting goods from north to south brought a lot of profit, it was really terrifying.

"Huh... Ha... Fortunately we can swim, otherwise we would have really been stuck here today... I didn't dare to stick my head out to take a breath until I was under the boat and out of the city... Miss Lin, are you such a good swimmer?" Shen Muwan, who had reached the shore, took deep breaths of fresh air.

She cooperated with Lin Qinghe and was able to hold her breath for such a long time at the bottom of the river, but after they got ashore, Lin Qinghe stayed where she was.

His spiritual sense began to explore the surroundings, and Lin Qinghe pulled Shen Muwan into the water again.

The horse she had placed next to the big tree was gone. Within the range of her spiritual sense, there was no one there. Lin Qinghe had a subconscious intuition that there must be someone there!

If they went any further, they might be discovered, so Lin Qinghe took Shen Muwan into the water again.

After Lin Qinghe swam with Shen Muwan to a place where she felt safe, she lifted up the head of Shen Muwan, who was about to suffocate, and let her take a breath.

Then continue diving to the bottom of the water.

When the officers and soldiers who had not discovered their whereabouts reported the news to Prince Jing, Prince Jing was so angry that he smashed the porcelain cup in his hand.

"Didn't I tell you to search the riverside outside the city? Why can't you find it?"

He pursed his lips tightly, his face somewhat gloomy, "Since you have found a horse outside the city, then you should ambush there quietly. Do you still need me to teach you this?"

"It's like this, Your Highness... When the horse saw us... it actually broke the rope and ran away... We couldn't catch up." One person's eyes twitched, but he spoke this speechless fact with a serious face.

“……” Prince Jing was silent for a moment.

"Have all the passing ships been searched?" He rubbed his aching forehead.

"There are horses outside the city, so someone must be there to pick her up. She can't escape alone." Prince Jing thought it was a bit outrageous. "Shen Muwan lives in the inner courtyard. How did she get out?"

"Your Highness, I have also blocked the dog hole that Miss Shen discovered before... There must be someone to help her so that she could climb over the wall and escape from the palace..." The maid who served Shen Muwan was kneeling on the ground.

She spoke cautiously, but finally made up her mind and said, "Please forgive me, Your Majesty..."

"It's your fault for not keeping an eye on her. Get out of the palace." Prince Jing said coldly. He was afraid that he would not be able to help but chop this slave girl to pieces.

"From now on, the whole city is under martial law. We must dig deep into the ground to find Shen Muwan! And outside the city, Guo Tong, you lead a thousand cavalrymen to search for her outside the city. Once you find her, don't show mercy, just tie her up and bring her back!" How could Prince Jing let the hostage in front of him fly away?

He can't tolerate it!

A slight mistake can lead to a huge loss. Due to the time difference, when Prince Jing sent troops to search outside the city, Lin Qinghe had already set off with Shen Muwan.

Lin Qinghe, who was using Qinggong to hurry with Shen Muwan, stopped near noon when the sun was at its hottest and found a shady place to rest.

"We should try not to take the official road these two days." Prince Jing will definitely send people to find and intercept Shen Muwan on the official road. The destination of escorting Shen Muwan is undoubtedly Jin County, and Prince Jing will definitely think of this.

So these few days Lin Qinghe could only take Shen Muwan on small paths and sleep in the open air.

"Okay. Miss Lin, didn't you bring a horse when you came?" Since Lin Qinghe didn't say anything, Shen Muwan didn't know that the horse she was riding was lost.

In Lin Qinghe's opinion, her horse had most likely been captured by Prince Jing's men. In the best case scenario, it would be moved to another place and continue to be someone else's mount. In the worst case, it would be killed out of anger.

So Lin Qinghe didn't even raise his head and said directly, "The horse should be dead. Well, it was found by Prince Jing's men."

"That's a bit of a pity." Shen Muwan blinked.

"It's okay. Am I not that horse now? Its job is to carry people. I carry you on the road every day." Lin Qinghe said jokingly, as if he had thought of something interesting.

In order to travel as quickly as possible, she almost always used her spiritual power to perform Qinggong to carry Shen Muwan. When she ran out of spiritual power, she would stop to meditate and recover.

But what she didn't expect was that when the sun was setting and Lin Qinghe was carrying Shen Muwan on the road, a horse neighed from behind.

The horse that had broken the rope by itself was running towards Lin Qinghe with half of the thick rope in its mouth.
