It was all because she was dissatisfied.

Yun Yi's ambitions are sky-high, but her abilities don't match her ideas. So when she encounters trouble, she's genuinely afraid. On one hand, her desire to enter the Prince's mansion is obvious, but on the other hand, she doesn't dare to offend Su Wanyan, whose status and position are higher than hers.

Becoming Feng Yao's servant was merely a way to make herself appear pitiful, hoping to arouse Su Wanyan and Yu Nanqing's pity and that Yu Nanqing would rescue her from Feng Yao's clutches once again, just as he had rescued her years ago.

How could a young girl like her withstand Tanaka's torture? Before it even started, she had already poured out all her secrets in great detail.

As for Feng Yao, Yun Yi was just a minor character she could use. She didn't care about Yun Yi's life or death; she only cared about whether Yun Yi could bring her any benefits.

Therefore, Feng Yao would not stop Yun Yi from doing whatever she wanted, and she would not feel any pity even if Yun Yi died.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

"Come in," Su Wanyan called out.

The next second, Xiao Chensheng came in with a fake smile: "You seem to have a lot of free time."

I thought Su Wanyan would be sad or depressed after being away for so long, but I didn't expect that this little girl would eat and drink as usual, without any feelings of parting.

Xiao Chensheng was very curious. Didn't she and Yu Nanqing have a good relationship?

Why can't I see any worry in her?

However, Xiao Chensheng didn't ask these questions, and coming and going wasn't something he should care about.

Su Wanyan was enjoying her meal when she asked, "Want some?"

Xiao Chensheng stared at the various scraps left on the table and forced an even more fake smile than before.

Su Wanyan could see it; the smile revealed extreme disdain.

She ignored it and continued eating by herself.

"You really aren't in a hurry." She didn't even ask him what he came for.

Helpless, Xiao Chensheng lifted his robe and sat down opposite Su Wanyan.

"Haven't you all made all the arrangements? Why should I be in such a hurry?"

She doesn't know martial arts, nor can she move freely like Xiao Chensheng. If she doesn't obediently follow orders, is she courting death?

Xiao Chen smiled and stopped beating around the bush: "The imperial court is acting faster than I expected. We need to switch to land routes before reaching the next port."

"Okay, sure." Su Wanyan had no objections.

Xiao Chensheng raised an eyebrow: "The imperial court has issued a nationwide warrant for my arrest. Aren't you afraid?"

Qiu Ye and Huang Ye had inquired about this when they went to buy food. Su Wanyan blinked and said, "Why don't you go your way and I'll go mine? That way you won't drag me into this."

"..." That's really straightforward.

Xiao Chensheng smiled, his eyes narrowing: "Only I know the path to Hundred Nether Valley."

Dream on! They summoned him to the capital? He's involved in this mess, so why would he be so kind as to let Su Wanyan escape unscathed?

Su Wanyan seemed to see through his thoughts and rolled her eyes at him: "Then why did you ask?"

With Emperor Yuanhe issuing a warrant for Xiao Chensheng's arrest, Baiyou Valley is certainly not safe either. Su Wanyan can easily figure out what Xiao Chensheng is up to with just a little thought.

None of them are peaceful people.

After saying that, she asked curiously, "Why did Emperor Yuanhe issue a nationwide warrant for your arrest? What did you do to the Princess?"

In fact, Su Wanyan had already roughly guessed the answer.

Because Emperor Yuanhe issued a kill order, meaning that if Xiao Chensheng was encountered, he should be executed on the spot, not taken back, it's possible that the Princess has already been killed by Xiao Chensheng.

However, her guess was not confirmed, so she wanted to get confirmation from Xiao Chensheng.

Xiao Chensheng recalled the events leading to the Princess's murder, and his lips curled into an even wider smile: "It's better that you don't know."

"..." Su Wanyan pouted, "Who are you trying to scare?"

Xiao Chensheng had already stood up: "I will send someone to bring you some clothes later, Your Highness, please remember to change."

Su Wanyan looked down at what she was wearing, which was just what an ordinary girl would wear, nothing fancy. She asked curiously, "Do I have to change?"

However, as soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Chensheng had already disappeared through the doorway.

There will be soldiers checking people at the next port. Compared to the previous times, the checks will be more stringent. Therefore, Su Wanyan and her group need to switch to land routes before arriving at the next port.

This made Su Wanyan curious. Xiao Chen was so distinctive, almost someone who would be noticed at first glance. How did he manage to avoid being checked by the soldiers the previous times?

What Xiao Chensheng had brought over was a set of clothes worn by ordinary people, coarse linen clothes, which looked like what a hunter would wear.

Su Wanyan quickly changed into her disguise. Once everything was ready, the cargo ship lowered two small boats. Su Wanyan took Qiuye and Xiaobu in one boat, with Xiaobu rowing.

Qiu Ye was responsible for taking care of Su Wanyan. If anything happened, Xiao Bu would take Su Wanyan away first, so Huang Ye was not allowed to board the small boat.

Huang Ye and Tanaka were on the same boat as Xiao Chensheng.

Of course, it was Tanaka who rowed the boat. Xiaochensheng, holding his long pipe lightly, stood comfortably at the bow with his hands behind his back, quietly waiting for the boat to dock.

A small carriage had already been prepared on the shore, which could only seat two people.

After considering it, Su Wanyan managed to squeeze both Qiu Ye and Huang Ye into the carriage; there was still room for them.

As for Xiaobu and Tanaka, they rode horses, while Xiaochensheng was responsible for driving the carriage.

When officials and soldiers conduct inspections, they set up checkpoints on the main roads. But Xiao Chensheng led them along side roads, where there were few civilians or officials and soldiers.

However, entering the city would definitely be more troublesome, and if there were any situation that led to the city being closed, Su Wanyan and the others would be trapped inside.

At this time, the covert positions provided by the Chang and Shun families of the Duke played a crucial role.

Because of reliable intelligence and good information, Su Wanyan perfectly avoided all the checkpoints. When she needed to stay overnight, she would notify the nearest undercover agent, who would then send someone to make proper arrangements.

The Chang and Shun families, both ducal households, have a long history dating back to the previous dynasty. The connections and influence accumulated over those decades and generations should not be underestimated.

Su Wanyan heard that the Chang and Shun families used to be mortal enemies, and if you take one of them out individually, their intelligence network might not be as comprehensive.

The brilliance lies in the fact that the two companies have joined forces.

Su Wanyan even felt that if the Chang and Shun families hadn't insisted on staying in the capital to find another way out, and instead moved away from the center of imperial power, they would have been able to live well anywhere with the manpower and resources they had accumulated over the decades.

But ironically, the two families are locked in a fierce battle in the capital.

However, at the same time, Su Wanyan also felt that this might be the way out left for the Chang and Shun families. If things really got to the point of no return, they would know in advance as soon as there was any disturbance, so they could avoid danger in advance.

On July 25th, after half a month, in Xiaozhou, Ancheng.

In a secluded village outside Ancheng, Su Wanyan met someone she never expected.

In the simple little wooden house, she stared in surprise at the person who came in from outside, unsure whether to be happy or surprised.
