"How is that possible? His hands and feet are tied up," the man said in disbelief.

"Really, really, if you don't believe me, you can go in and see for yourselves," the anesthesiologist said, his voice trembling, as if he were very afraid of the people outside.

Jiang Shuyue heard the conversation outside from inside the space and clenched her fists involuntarily with nervousness.

She desperately wanted everyone outside to chase after her so she could seize the opportunity to leave this place.

Jiang Shuyue had prepared poison, intending to strike back at any time, but seeing that the other side had a large number of people and it would be difficult to succeed, she could only act according to the situation.

"Everyone, come out and look for her! That woman has run away!"

At the man's shout, Jiang Shuyue heard the footsteps and voices of several people outside.

She estimated there were about ten people here.

The man in the lead directed the group to search the surrounding area.

Soon, the sound of hurried footsteps could be heard again, and a moment later, someone reported back.

There's nothing behind it!

There wasn't one ahead either!

"She's a woman, she can't have run too far. Quickly check the woods outside for any signs of footsteps and follow them."

Hearing the sound of a wooden door opening, Jiang Shuyue guessed that these people would search around the mortuary for a while, and it was not a good time to rush out.

My stomach rumbled again.

Jiang Shuyue lifted her sleeve and sniffed it, feeling that there was a faint, unpleasant odor emanating from her clothes.

She, who is a germaphobe, urgently wanted to take a shower and change her clothes.

She listened and heard no sound outside, then with a thought, she left the space.

Looking around, there wasn't a soul in sight.

She took off running towards the gate.

The gates of the mortuary were wide open. Jiang Shuyue ran to the gate in one breath, then slowed down.

She stood behind the door and listened to the sounds outside. Only after confirming that no one was outside did she slowly peek out.

Seeing that there were no kidnappers outside the mortuary, Jiang Shuyue hurriedly stepped outside.

The area is surrounded by trees, and a road winds its way into the distance.

Jiang Shuyue quickly surveyed the surrounding terrain. This place was remote, a mountain valley, and there was no one around.

If she takes the main road in the middle, she will be spotted very quickly.

She has her own space at her disposal, so she's not afraid of being discovered from afar; she can simply hide inside her space in time.

She walked quickly forward, keeping close to one side of the road.

She hadn't gone far when she saw a tree-lined path on her right, so she quickly walked over.

She walked along, glancing around nervously, her heart pounding in her chest.

Just as they were about to leave the grove of trees, they heard someone shout in the distance, "She's there! Grab her!"

Jiang Shuyue heard the sound to her left. She turned her head and saw that the person chasing her was about seven or eight zhang away from her. She ran forward a few steps and disappeared into the woods, then flashed into her spatial dimension again.

Where are they?!

"How could it just disappear like that?"

"Everyone, stop standing there and start searching! The forest is only so big; she can't possibly fly or disappear into the ground."

The man spoke with a strong Wanling accent, but upon closer listening, one could still detect a regional accent.

This person must have frequently traveled between Sangguo and Wanling.

The others were also dumbfounded. They had clearly seen the person right under their noses, but in the blink of an eye, he seemed to have vanished into thin air.

A man's voice trembled, "Boss, are we seeing a ghost? How could that woman possibly outrun us?"

"Yes, if she ran, the ground would be covered in fallen leaves, which should have made a sound."

"Impossible, don't exaggerate. I saw it clearly, I recognize her clothes. Everyone, hurry up and look for her, that woman might know some kung fu."

"Yes, everyone hurry up and find her. That woman is as beautiful as a flower. Make her hand over the seed, and then we'll take her back to Sang Kingdom and present her to His Majesty."

"Don't just talk the talk, walk the walk. All our wealth and glory will be in her hands."

Hearing the conversation outside, Jiang Shuyue scoffed and walked towards the thatched hut in the space.

Since we can't leave anytime soon anyway, we might as well eat and drink our fill and take a nice bath.

The group of kidnappers darted back and forth through the woods like headless flies.

Little did they know that two groups of people were heading this way.

On the official road, Cangyun pointed to a mountain valley in the distance and said, "Boss, look quickly, there's a mortuary ahead."

Gao Mu patted the horse's back, "Quick, let's move fast, maybe we can find the young lady's whereabouts soon."

Gao Mu and Cang Yun did not follow the official road to search after leaving the capital.

After discussing it, the two agreed that the criminals would avoid the official road.

The two headed towards the Sang Kingdom, walking along village roads to gather information, and eventually discovered a clue.

Some villagers said that a group of people carrying a coffin passed by outside the village.

After making some inquiries, it was learned that the group consisted entirely of strong, healthy men.

Gao Mu immediately suspected that the group of people were the kidnappers.

As the investigation progressed, the clues became increasingly clear.

Some villagers said they didn't see any strangers pass by, but the village dogs barked loudly the night before, and some villagers said in the early morning that thieves broke into their homes, the steamed buns in the pot were stolen, and several chickens were also missing.

Gao Mu and Cang Yun immediately concluded that the group of people were undoubtedly the kidnappers.

To evade the soldiers pursuing them on the official road, the kidnappers took mountain paths the entire way.

Traveling along mountain paths inevitably involves passing through villages, and they always need to find food and lodging along the way.

Without taverns, they stole food from ordinary people; without lodging, they could rest in empty houses and woods along the way.

Gao Mu speculated that they were more likely hiding in the mortuary with coffins in their hands.

After investigating dozens of villages, the two immediately went to the official road to deliver the message.

Upon hearing what the two men said, the Imperial Guards immediately replied that they too had received orders to investigate mortuaries and cemeteries.

After sending a message and pointing out the direction to the Embroidered Uniform Guard, Gao Mu and Cang Ma continued their search without stopping.

He walked out of the ravine, drew his sword from his waist, and swung it at the tree branches by the roadside.

Gao Mu also quickly drew his sword and left a clear mark in a conspicuous place by the roadside.

"Cangyun, look, there's someone in the woods ahead who seems to be looking for something."

Cangyun looked up and saw several people running back and forth by the woods, shouting threatening words and looking very anxious.

The two vaguely heard the word "woman".

Cang Yun and Gao Mu exchanged a glance. "It was those people. Miss must have found a chance to escape."

Gao Mu looked at him as if he had met an enemy, his eyes filled with ruthlessness.

He waved his hand at Cang Yun, "Go! Kill them!"

The two dropped the reins and soared into the air like two great roc birds, flying straight towards the group of people.

Hearing the whooshing sound behind him, the kidnappers quickly turned around.

"ah!"

One of the kidnappers hesitated for a moment, then Gao Musheng ruthlessly chopped off his head and left it on the ground.

"Run! We've been spotted!"

Seeing that the two men were highly skilled in martial arts and were coming at a fierce pace, the leader drew his sword, shouted, and tried to run away.

Gao Mu wasn't about to give him a chance to escape. With a light tap of his toes, he leaped forward and blocked the kidnapper's path.

Seeing that Cang Yun was alone, the other kidnappers all swung their knives at him.

"Hmph! Overestimating yourself."

The sword in Cangyun's hand flew up and down, and screams rang out one after another.

Before the two kidnappers could even see what move he used, they were stabbed right through the chest.

Seeing that things were not going well, the others turned and ran. Cangyun looked up and saw a corner of clothing peeking out from behind a big tree.
