There's a question in Chapter 210 that I'm not sure if I should ask.

The carriage traveled for several hours, and Lin Yuesha leaned against the back of the carriage and fell asleep peacefully.

Since she was already there, she decided to make the best of it. Ever since she met the pockmarked man, she immediately felt safe, and even had the illusion that if she were in danger, the pockmarked man would not abandon her. His appearance was the best proof of that.

When the blindfold was removed, Lin Yuesha was stunned by the stone house in front of her.

Where is this?

Lin Yuesha asked the barbarian soldier.

The two men assumed she couldn't understand the barbarian language, so they didn't hide anything and said, "This is the territory of Sishui City, outside Hanmen Pass."

Lin Yuesha pretended not to understand, and only after entering the house did she rub her face with her hands.

So, they've already crossed from the territory of the Great Qi to the territory of the barbarians in Sishui City, which should be not far from Hanmen Pass. Although it's not far, returning to the Great Qi is as difficult as ascending to heaven.

The sudden bad news left Lin Yuesha in a very bad mood.

The location was changed, but the treatment remained the same. Granny Wu came twice during this time, telling Lin Yuesha to rest well and continue her studies the next day.

"What is the City Lord busy with?"

Lin Yuesha asked Lan Yanzhu a question, noting that the man's continued absence seemed rather strange, and she was worried that something might have gone wrong in the war between the two countries.

"The city lord is busy finding the traitor."

Granny Wu didn't hide anything, and after drinking a cup of tea, she said, "Do you still remember the two sisters I met in the main kitchen that day?"

Lin Yuesha nodded. The deep-set-eyed beauty and her third sister, two people with peculiar thought processes, were the ones who put a drug in the fried dough, almost making her take the blame.

"The city lord has dealt with the two."

After speaking, Granny Wu glanced at Yang Xiu, noticing that this lowly woman from Daqi seemed rather unruly.

"Was it chopped up and fed to the dogs?"

Blue-eyed people enjoy inventing torture methods, but they usually don't use them, preferring simple and brutal approaches.

"No, there are no dogs anymore."

Granny Wu calmly replied, "The city lord disliked the dozen or so large dogs taking up too much space, so he ordered them to be chopped up."

Lin Yuesha: "..."

Who would have thought that even a vicious dog would meet such an end? What's that saying again? Look up and see, no one escapes the wrath of Heaven!

The vicious dog has finally gotten its comeuppance after eating so much human flesh.

Sure enough, the blue-eyed man is still at the top of the food chain.

"Granny Wu, are those two sisters spies?"

Lin Yuesha asked tentatively, hoping to get information out of Granny Wu.

"No, they're just two idiots again."

The city lord had already thrown the two sisters into the camp to serve the meritorious soldiers, making the best use of them.

Lin Yuesha was not surprised. Blue-eyed ruthless, he had always disregarded human life. If he could treat her like this, he would probably think of other ways to torture her. She would have to find a way to find Pockmarked Face and look for an opportunity to escape.

In the afternoon, Jiang Baozhu went out for a while and returned feeling very disappointed.

"I didn't see Zhang Jing."

They had originally thought that if the two of them were closer together, they could support each other. But now that the group had arrived at a new place, there were hardly any men to be seen in the front yard except for the soldiers guarding it.

Jiang Baozhu didn't understand the local language and didn't know who to ask.

"Don't worry, Scholar Zhang might have stayed behind and didn't come along."

Lin Yuesha guessed that this was barbarian territory, and useful people would definitely come here first.

However, Zhang Jing's actions were actually quite foolish. He risked his own safety, and even when he was trying to escape, he still had to consider the safety of others.

Lin Yuesha shook her head. She was willing but powerless, and when she could barely take care of herself, she didn't want to add any more burdens.

One morning, the pockmarked man appeared right on time.

Yang Xiu went to the main kitchen to get food, and Jiang Baozhu went to inquire about Zhang Jing's whereabouts, leaving only the two of them in the room.

This is a great opportunity!

"cloud……"

Lin Yuesha was about to call out when she saw the pockmarked man shake his head with a gloomy expression, so she immediately changed her address to "Mr. Yun".

"Miss Lin, I, Yun, have come to teach you the art of playing the zither."

Xiao Qi took out his zither and began to pluck the strings again. After a moment, he whispered, "The walls have ears."

"Brother Yun."

So, are we safe now?

Lin Yuesha choked up, almost crying. If she had stayed in the cabin back then, none of this trouble would have happened.

She has been regretting it a lot these past few days, but unfortunately there is no medicine for regret.

"Don't worry, this is outside the pass of Hanmen."

Time was of the essence, so Xiao Qi had to keep it brief.

Yuwen Kun is both brave and resourceful, and he also has his own people in Daqi. He is currently investigating the situation.

Once they learn that the Qi army is treacherous, they will surely withdraw their troops while they are ahead, and this opportunity is coming soon, within ten days at most.

"I will definitely find a chance to rescue you within the next ten days."

Xiao Qi emphasized that he must take care of himself first. If Yuwen Kun took him to Sishui City, it would be even more difficult to escape.

"But how do I get out?"

Lin Yuesha was filled with apprehension, but she found that escaping was really exciting, especially under the current circumstances.

"You secretly looked at this; it's the location of the secret passage. Wait for me to deliver a message."

Xiao Qi spoke quickly and handed Lin Yuesha a slip of paper with a drawing of the entrance to the secret passage on it.

Leaving through the secret passage, it's not far from Hanmen Pass. However, Lin Yuesha can't possibly return to town within a day, so she'll definitely have to ask Granny Xiao for help.

"Go to the temporary residence of the Prince of Zhenbei and find Granny Xiao and Hongtao. Stay for a day before you leave."

Xiao Qi didn't have time for pleasantries. Lin Yuesha nodded nervously, and the two leaned against each other. Yang Xiu came in and saw this scene, angrily saying, "What are you doing!"

It's inappropriate for a man and a woman to be alone in a room, leaning against each other!

"Miss Yang."

Xiao Qi nodded to Yang Xiu and said expressionlessly, "I am merely teaching under orders."

Yang Xiu looked on with suspicion. Upon closer inspection, he saw Lin Yuesha changing her fingering on the strings, occasionally asking Mr. Yun for guidance.

She blushed instantly, annoyed that she had been too excited and worried that she would leave a bad impression on Mr. Yun.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Yun, I was just too nervous."

Yang Xiu apologized to the pockmarked woman, and Lin Yuesha rolled her eyes. Shouldn't she be the victim here?

With the pockmarked face around, Yang Xiu kept fawning over him, serving him tea and water.

"Mr. Yun, I have a question, but I'm not sure if I should ask it."

Yang Xiu seized an opportunity, moved closer to the pockmarked man, and looked at him with deep affection.

Just now, he painted a landscape painting, and even Yang Xiu, a complete novice, knew it was quite outstanding; it suited her well whether lightly or heavily adorned.

"Speaking."

Xiao Qi was practicing calligraphy, his eyes filled with impatience. What kind of bad luck was he having that he couldn't escape this shameless woman even by changing his identity?

"Is Brother Yun married?"

Yang Xiu mustered her courage and asked in a low voice.

"I am not yet married, but I am already engaged."

Xiao Qi didn't even glance at Yang Xiu, and answered coldly.

Lin Yuesha raised an eyebrow. She had asked the same question before, but the answer was different. How long had it been, and the pockmarked man had already found his ideal candidate? That was quite a swift move.

Yang Xiu's expression was not good, but then she thought that since the engagement was not yet finalized, it was not a done deal and she still had a chance.
