Cannon fodder She is targeted by yanderes in every dimension

Chapter 16: The Cannon Fodder Orphan Who Was Offline at the Beginning

*

The carriage went south and it was already dark when it arrived at Suzhou City. Yun Wu paid the coachman and entered the city under the cover of darkness.

She was born with good looks. The first thing she did when she entered Suzhou city was to go to a cosmetics shop and buy indigo. However, she did not use it to draw her eyebrows, but instead smeared some on her face.

Now her once beautiful face had turned dark, and she was still wearing the coarse linen clothes that she had prepared in advance, with her delicate hands hidden under the wide cuffs.

Walking among the crowd, she was not noticeable at all, looking like a rough and unsophisticated peasant woman, but her facial features were still conspicuous.

Yun Wu did not dare to stay, so she first found an inn to stay in. The next morning, she disguised herself and left the city gate early, following the passing caravans and continued to head south.

At nightfall, the general's mansion was brightly lit.

Gu Huanzhi sat at the top with an expressionless face, emitting a cold aura from head to toe.

Yue Qing and others who had returned from the pursuit knelt down in unison in the hall.

"Reply General." Yue Qing bowed and frowned slightly.

"I have already ordered people to seal the city gates and search the entire city, but I can't find any trace of Madam. I think she must have left the capital."

Gu Huanzhi had an indifferent expression as he held the white porcelain cup in his hand and played with it lightly.

"Have you sent anyone outside the city to investigate?"

"I have sent teams to patrol overnight."

Yue Qing said, "There are countless civilian roads outside the capital, including Yongcheng and Liangzhou. It will take a long time to search all of them."

"Then send more troops."

Gu Huanzhi said in a cold tone, "Even if I have to dig three feet deep into the ground without sleep, I must find the lady as soon as possible."

"I obey my orders!"

Yue Qing did not dare to relax. After receiving the order, he took his guards and left the city overnight to the towns near the capital.

But Yun Wu was in disguise, so it would be useless even if the searchers had a portrait of Yun Wu.

She only got a little news from the coachman who took her to Suzhou City.

The carriage said that the woman in the portrait only wanted him to take her to Suzhou City and then left.

Gu Huanzhi personally led people to Suzhou City, but they turned the city upside down and still couldn't find Yun Wu.

Yun Wu had already left Suzhou City before they arrived, and because she was in disguise, they didn't find anyone in Suzhou City who had seen the appearance of Yun Wu in the portrait.

In the blink of an eye, more than a month had passed. Yun Wu, in disguise, traveled through several towns without slacking off.

Later, finding that the situation was safer, he temporarily settled down in a small town in the south of the Yangtze River.

This place is not very prosperous, there are not many outsiders coming and going and the people are simple and honest. Yun Wu can feel a little relieved here.

Outside an old house on the edge of town, a woman carrying a basket of vegetables knocked twice on the locked door.

"Miss Li! It's me!"

The woman shouted in a rough voice, and soon the gate of the courtyard was opened by someone inside.

The person inside was wearing a simple dress and a veil hat, which completely concealed her face. Only her graceful and elegant figure could be seen.

This person was Yun Wu. She pawned the precious jewelry she brought from the general's mansion bit by bit in various towns along the way and exchanged them for silver.

Later, I came to this remote town and bought a dilapidated yard on the edge of the city.

After moving in, I cleaned and tidied the place myself and added some things, and it looked like it was habitable.

"Aunt Wang."

Yun Wu called softly, the person who knocked on the door just now was Aunt Wang who lived nearby.

When Yun Wu was not able to go out, she would give her some money and ask her to help buy things.

In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Yun Wu didn't even tell her her name, only saying that her surname was Li.

"Miss Li, I've bought the vegetables and meat you wanted."

Aunt Wang smiled and handed the basket of things in her hand to Yun Wu.

"Thank you, Aunt Wang. Please accept this money. Consider it as the money I'm paying for running errands for you."

"Why are you being so polite to me? We live close to each other, so it's only natural that I can help you out."

Aunt Wang refused and forcibly stuffed the money that Yun Wu handed over back to her.

"Besides, since you are a pretty girl, you should stay out of the spotlight so as not to be targeted by those with bad intentions."

Aunt Wang added that she was kind-hearted and felt sorry for Miss Li, who lived alone with no relatives.

I happened to see her true face once before, and she was truly a fairy from heaven. There might be some perverts in this remote place, so Aunt Wang thought she could help her as much as possible to prevent her from getting into trouble if she went out too often.

Yun Wu had no choice but to give up, and as a token of gratitude she even shared some of the dishes with Aunt Wang.

After Aunt Wang left, Yun Wu closed the door tightly again, then took off her veil, revealing her beautiful face.

I don't know if the male protagonist is still looking for her...

Yun Wu thought to herself that this small town was not well-informed, so she could only pray in her heart.

I pray that the plot of this world is on the right track and that she, the cannon fodder, will no longer have a role to play.

But there is no way to hide perfectly like this, and I can't trouble Aunt Wang every time.

Yun Wu still has to go out on her own sometimes, and she doesn't often use the method of disguising herself by smearing her face these days.

After rubbing something on her face for the whole day, her tender cheeks were covered with red rashes, which hurt when touched. Yun Wu was most afraid of pain, and she relaxed her vigilance when living here.

When she went out, she only wore a veil to cover her face. She lived a peaceful life, and Yun Wu gradually felt relieved.

Until one day she went to the street to buy things as usual, bought some seeds and went back to grow vegetables in her own yard.

Unexpectedly, on the way back, Yun Wu always felt that someone was following her. She initially thought it was an illusion.

Even when she left the downtown area and headed towards the courtyard where she lived, she could still feel the gazes and footsteps following closely behind her.

Yun Wu's heart tightened. She hadn't felt so panicked in a long time. She walked forward vigilantly, with a myriad of thoughts in her mind.

Could it be that she was really Gu Huanzhi's person? Did he find her?

The relaxation during this period of time had made Yun Wu feel relieved, but today she fell into panic again.

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid..."

Yun Wu murmured as she walked quickly forward, and finally she was almost at the courtyard where she lived.

Yun Wu was just about to go forward and knock on the door of the courtyard when she suddenly heard hurried footsteps behind her, and a handkerchief came from behind and covered her mouth.

In just a moment, she fainted.

Yun Wu originally thought that it was Gu Huanzhi's man, but unexpectedly when she woke up.

The person in front of him was Wen Yi, who was dressed in gorgeous clothes. She was standing in the dilapidated courtyard where she lived. Her luxurious clothes did not fit in with the surroundings. Beside her were several maids and attendants.

It was now night, and the servants were holding torches to illuminate the area. Wen Yi took two steps forward, looking arrogant and ostentatious.

Yun Wu was tied up and lying on the ground, her long black hair becoming a little messy as she struggled.

But that delicate face remained, with almond-shaped cheeks, rosy cheeks, black hair and pink lips. Even when she was wearing a coarse linen shirt, her beauty could not be concealed.

"I thought you were capable of something, but you have escaped to this shabby place..."

Wen Yi's sharp voice sounded, she pulled her dress and looked around with disdain.

Yun Wu waited until the effect of the drug wore off before she had enough strength to sit up from the ground.

"Now that I have left the general, why did the princess want to arrest me?"

"You know that I originally ordered people to watch the general's mansion day and night. I got the news on the day Huan Zhi took you out of the mansion, and I realized what you were thinking, so I specially ordered people to watch only you."

Wen Yi smiled and said, as if she felt that she was smart, and then said: "I know where you escaped to, but I didn't tell Huan Zhi. Who would have thought that Huan Zhi would be so deeply in love with you! He looked for you day and night! Even if I had someone secretly stop him from finding any clues about you, he would not stop wanting to see you alive or dead!"

Wen Yi originally thought that after this lowly and impoverished orphan disappeared, she would be able to stay with Gu Huanzhi. They grew up together, and it was impossible for Huanzhi to have no feelings for her!

"So this princess thinks it would be best if you died. If you die, he will give up!"

The maid behind her stepped forward and said, "Princess, I am afraid that the night will be long and full of dreams, so why not start it tonight?"
