The next day, the convoy to Mobei set off early. During the journey, Helan Qin and Bai Yibing pretended to be officers and soldiers, while Yangyang stayed beside the Crown Princess to provide cover.

The convoy hurried along the way, being cautious and not daring to stop for too long. Even when they set up camp to rest at night, several shifts of officers and soldiers took turns to guard the place.

"If we continue walking at the same pace today, we should be able to reach Mobei the day after tomorrow!"

Next to the campfire, Tang Yuwei was holding a map to explain the situation to Yuwen Jin. Unexpectedly, Yuwen Jin glanced at him and motioned Tang Yuwei to look towards the river.

Yangyang was drawing water from the river at the moment. Helanqin hadn't seen her for a few days, so he had to ask her about it when he finally got the chance.

"I heard that you were in danger and assassinated a few days ago. Are you injured?"

Yangyang picked up the kettle and turned to look at Helan Qin, who was dressed in officer uniform. He couldn't help but tease, "You're locked up, but you're still so well-informed!"

"Of course not!" He Lanqin crossed his arms and hummed while chewing straw, "You haven't come to see me for several days. I don't know how worried I am!"

Upon hearing this, Yangyang frowned and glanced at him with disdain, "I know, I know!", then he covered the kettle and walked towards Duan Fangya, while Helanqin followed closely behind him, not slacking off for a moment.

When they got to the campfire, Yangyang handed the water to Duan Fangya and sat down. "The water is so sweet! Sister Qing'er!"

Helan Qin didn't care about the looks of Tang Yuwei and others at all, and he also hugged a stone and sat down next to Yangyang.

Duan Fangya took the kettle and looked at Helan Qin involuntarily. Because he had been staring at Yangyang all day long and eating and drinking with Yangyang, the Duoyingxiang she had prepared had no effect on Yangyang.

This thing needs to be taken every day to show its effect.

Now that the time for departure to Mobei has been advanced, the only way to poison Yangyang is to increase the dosage without interruption.

Therefore, Duan Fangya had to find a way to get rid of him. "Mr. Helan is now dressed as an officer. If he doesn't go on the inspection with those officers and soldiers, it will probably cause unnecessary misunderstandings!"

"What misunderstanding?" Helan Qin was never on guard when it came to his concern for Yangyang. No matter what Duan Fangya said, she would not let him take his eyes off Yangyang.

What's more, He Lanqin pointed at Bai Yibing who was not far away and said, "How dare you bring someone like that with you? Are you afraid that something might happen to me?"

Although Helan Qin has been locked up in jail these days, with his ability to gossip and his eloquent tongue, it is only a matter of time for him to find out everything.

As for Bai Yibing, he had been in Tong County for quite some time and had done many errands for Jiang Zhiang in the past. Naturally, Helanqin had heard of him.

The dislike for him was no less than that for Jiang Zhiang.

"He is an important witness now, and he also has people he wants to rescue. There is nothing wrong with taking Brother Yibing with him. You'd better go and inspect!" Yangyang was annoyed by his staring at her, so she wanted to find a reason to get rid of him.

"Brother Yibing?" He Lanqin said with a gloomy face, "Don't be fooled by him!"

As he said this, he retracted his gaze and looked at Tang Yuwei, "Some people appear calm on the surface, but in reality they are more twisted and complicated. Such people are not worth making friends with!"

Yangyang looked at Helanqin, then followed his gaze to look at Tang Yuwei, and said with a smile, "Yes, yes, yes, someone like you never does anything roundabout!"

"Of course." Helan Qin moved his body closer to Yangyang, and a cold light suddenly flashed in the crackling sound of the fire.

Looking closely, it turned out that Tang Yuwei's sword was already lying between Helan Qin and Yang Yang.

"You!" He Lanqin was stunned for a moment, and looked up at the pair of cold eyes on Tang Yuwei's tall body, "You have no moral principles! How can you use a knife on your own people!"

As he said that, he raised his hand and gently pushed the blade outwards!

"I will accompany you on the inspection! What do you think?" Although it was just a suggestion, before Helanqin could answer, Tang Yuwei had already lifted his arm and walked to the side.

Helan Qin had no choice but to be dragged forward. He knew that his martial arts skills were inferior, but his mind was still sharp, "Let go, General, how can I trouble you to accompany me in person!"

Not until they reached the riverbank did Tang Yuwei push Helan Qin away.

He Lanqin twisted his arm, and seeing that there was no one around, he understood Tang Yuwei's intention, and said happily, "General, what do you want to tell me? Just tell me!"

“Although I have promised to escort you back to Rong Country safely, if you insist on seeking death, you will no longer be under my protection!” Tang Yuwei tightened the sword in his hand, looking at the calm water surface.

"General Tang, why do you have to beat around the bush? Didn't you say frankly a few days ago that you would let Yangyang make her own choice? Why can't you let me say a few more words to Yangyang today?"

Helan Qin was laughing and joking. Compared with Tang Yuwei's coldness, he seemed more relaxed.

Tang Yuwei's words hit the nail on the head. Yes, compared to the previous few days, he felt even more reluctant.

But he knew better that the situation they were facing now did not allow him to think too much.

So he reminded Helan Qin, "Do you know that your brother has close contacts with the young Marquis of Changguo, Yuwen Bo?"

"Yuwen Bo?" Although Helan Qin had heard of this person, he knew very little about him! It can be seen that this person has been hiding for a long time!

"You mean, the person who cooperated with my brother was not just that old woman Yuwen Yuehua? The person who assassinated Jiang Zhiang a few days ago was also...?"

"I just want to tell you that we are not only facing Xuanyi and your brother, but also another group of forces, so we need to be careful in everything!" Tang Yuwei paused after speaking, "Yangyang, I will not give up!"

After saying this, he turned around and strode away from the riverbank, leaving Helan Qin to think clearly in the wind!

Duan Fangya, who finally got Helan Qin out of the way, handed a candied fruit with the scent of duoying to Yangyang, "Try it!"

Although Yangyang doesn't like sweets, since Duan Fangya handed it to her, she happily put it in her mouth and said, "It's so sweet!"

"Of course, I don't even get such treatment!" Yu Wenjin said on the side when he saw it.

Yangyang laughed, "Your Highness is jealous, why don't Sister Qing'er give one to the Crown Prince as well!"

"That's right, I don't deserve one!"

Duan Fangya looked thoughtfully at the candied fruits in the paper bag in her hand. Thinking that the rest were drugged, she couldn't help but retort to Yu Wenjin, "You don't like to eat this, but I want to give all of them to Sister Yangyang."

After saying that, he handed the entire paper bag to Yangyang, "Eat it! These few are all for my sister!"

Yu Wenjin shook his head helplessly, but unexpectedly a hand reached out and snatched the paper bag.

"Hey! What a delicious thing! I can taste it!"
