Yan Mujun shook her head angrily, "No need. When I left, I left a letter for Gu, saying that I missed my child and wanted to go to Jincheng to see Qing Ge'er."

Because the fifth prince was captured, the two armies were in a truce when she left. North Vietnam sent envoys to Luodu for negotiations. According to convention, the two armies would not go to war again before the negotiations were successful.

But she didn't expect that recently news came from Yancheng that the Fifth Prince had been tortured to death by the North Vietnamese Army. General Wu was worried about his nephew and asked the North Vietnamese Army to meet with the Fifth Prince, but was rejected by the North Vietnamese king who led the troops. As a result, the two armies began to have constant friction again.

If she had known there would be a war, Yan Muyun would never have left in anger. Compared to a war that concerned her life, she could hold back her temper.

Seeing the worry in her eyes, Yan Muxi did not expose her concern, "There is a town fifty miles ahead. Let's rest there for a day."

When a couple is angry with each other, there is no need for outsiders to try to reconcile them. If they are divorced, no amount of persuasion will be of any use. If their hearts are still together, ten oxen cannot pull them apart.

At the same time, in the Dingzhou Injured Soldiers Camp, Gu Yunting saw his followers coming in and asked anxiously, "Has there been any news from Jincheng?"

"Not yet! General, don't worry too much, Madam. I have already sent someone to Jincheng. According to the time, they should have a message back tomorrow morning!"

The follower tried to comfort the general verbally, but in his heart he was complaining about his own general. If he had known this would happen, why would he have yelled at the lady?

You won't find another woman as good as your madam even if you search with ten lanterns. Although she comes from a prominent family, she doesn't have the slightest bit of noble lady's pampering. She spends day and night in the sick camp treating the wounded.

When a war breaks out, the lady is often busy for more than 20 hours without closing her eyes. Her hard-working spirit is admired even by grown men like them. In the entire Dingbei military camp, no one fails to praise the lady.

The general not only doted on his wife, who was perfect in every way, but also scolded her and sent her away. He deserved that he was distracted by her and got stabbed.

"Let me know as soon as you get any news." Just as Gu Yunting finished speaking, a man wearing a black ghost mask walked into the tent.

The man stood two steps away from the bed and asked in a low voice, "Is General Gu's injury serious?"

"It's fine, just a minor injury." Gu Yunting was helped to sit up by his followers, and asked the man with a worried look, "Is it true that the Fifth Prince died?"

"It's absolutely true. The Fifth Prince died on the day he was captured. The North Vietnamese Army concealed the news."

Hearing the man's affirmative words, Gu Yunting expressed his confusion, "Then why is it spreading now?"

"I had it spread so that I could nip the leader's idea of ​​whitewashing the situation at its root."

Hearing this, Gu Yunting frowned even more tightly. "Princess Dafeng was insulted, and the prince was tortured to death. Whether as an emperor or a father, how can he still whitewash the situation?"

The man sneered, "What does it matter if the prince and princess are bullied? He only cares about himself. If General Gu doesn't believe me, you can wait and see. Even if North Vietnam steps on our Dafeng and shits and pees on us, they will choose to whitewash the situation."

Gu Yunting said in disbelief: "You mean, the emperor will agree to North Vietnam's request for peace?"

"Not only will they agree, but they will also cede land and pay compensation, and agree humbly." The man's peach blossom eyes under the mask were full of sarcasm.

The lifeblood of Emperor Yuanjing is in someone's hands. If there is a chance to free himself, he will do it at any cost.

Can an emperor who has lost the support of the people and angered his subjects still sit securely on the throne?

In mid-May, Yan Muxi and his group arrived in Jincheng safely. Even until they checked into the inn, Daya's accomplices did not show up.

"Could those people have abandoned Daya?" Taking advantage of Daya's absence, Yan Mujun couldn't sit still and went to find Yan Muxi to discuss solutions.

"Don't worry, third sister. They are willing to give up Daya, but they are also reluctant to give up you, third sister. Before we entered the city, they were already following us closely. Third sister, please sleep lightly these two days. They may attack at any time."

After getting the accurate information, Yan Muyun felt relieved.

After a few days, she had almost used up all her life's acting skills. If she failed to catch the kidnappers, she would be depressed for the rest of her life.

Yan Muyun and Daya lived in a lower-class room on the first floor of the inn, next to Shunzi and others' rooms.

At the end of the You hour, she was just beginning to feel sleepy when Daya beside her gently woke her up.

"Sister~Sister, wake up... Shall we escape at night?"

Yan Muyun resisted the urge to curse and pretended to be sleepy and said hesitantly: "We are unfamiliar with this place, where can we escape to? I have observed for a few days, and Madam Qian and her people seem to be pretty good. Who knows, they may give us a good way out."

Daya thought about it and nodded obediently, "Sister is right. Where do you think Madam Qian will sell us to? Can we be sold to a wealthy family as maids?"

Yan Muyun couldn't figure out what she meant by this, so she could only say, "It's a chaotic time right now, it would be nice if we could go to a wealthy family and be maids, at least we wouldn't be hungry or cold."

Daya's expression became depressed. "Da Ya has no father or mother. It doesn't matter where she goes. But if my sister becomes a slave, what will her family do?"

Yan Muyun didn't know how to respond for a moment. How could a seven or eight-year-old child have so many tricks? Not only did the little girl trick her into jumping into the pit, she also wanted her to jump into the pit on her own initiative.

Perhaps seeing that she was wavering, Daya said, "Why don't you talk to Madam Qian and only sell Daya and let them release my sister. They think my sister is an old woman and won't make much money, so they might agree to Daya's request."

Yan Muyun suppressed her shock and quickly shook her head, "No, I'm an adult, how can I let you suffer for me?"

At this moment, she suddenly felt relieved. The little girl was so cunning, and she deserved it.

“What should we do? Daya doesn’t want her sister to never see her family again.” Daya choked up and her eyes were filled with tears, about to cry.

Yan Mujun sighed, "Forget it, let's just run away again!"

Daya nodded with tears in her eyes, "We will do whatever my sister says. Daya will listen to my sister."

Yan Muyun: "..."

She had never been so angry and wanted to hit someone in her decades of life. She really wanted to beat up the little girl in front of her and let her know the consequences of treating her like a fool.

The two, one big and one small, slowly pushed open the door and tiptoed out of the house.

Seeing Jingzhe, who was on night watch, fell asleep while sitting on the ground, Yan Muyun put her index finger to her lips, hushed, and pulled Daya to slowly move past him.

After they were far away from the street where the inn was, Yan Muyun looked at Daya in surprise, "We actually escaped this time, but where should we go next?"

Daya looked around, raised the corners of her lips and smiled strangely, "Daya, take sister to a good place."

"What good place? Could it be that Daya has any relatives in Jincheng?" Yan Mujun asked in pretended confusion.

"Yes, Daya does have relatives, and more than one." As a familiar male voice sounded, two men and one woman appeared at the end of the alley.

The two men were the kidnappers, and the woman was one of the kidnapped women.

Now there was nothing Yan Mujun didn't understand. Daya and the woman were both kidnappers. All her actions after being kidnapped were under the control of the other party. How could she possibly escape?
