A tense and fierce search operation was launched...

After arriving at the eastern outskirts of Youzhou City, Hua Qingcheng headed upstream along the Yousi River. Due to the rain, the smell had long since disappeared, so Hua Qingcheng could only instruct Xiaobai to search for nearby hiding places.

The rain fell bitterly all night long. Even at dawn, when the sun pierced the darkness, the rain continued to fall, as if it would drown the whole world.

"Oh no, Mother Queen! I just noticed that the foot of the mountain was crowded with soldiers. It looks like they have found this place!"

Early in the morning, Xiahou Yu, who had just returned to the cave after hunting, ran into the cave with a worried look on his face and reported the situation to Xiahou Jing.

Xiahou Jing, who originally thought that her plan was flawless, never expected that Hua Qingcheng and others would unexpectedly launch a surprise attack.

"It seems that this is no longer a place to stay..."

Xiahou Jing glanced at Bai Yuheng, who was covered with Ye Maochun's coat, with his eyes blank and empty, sitting on the edge of the cave wall, and then looked at Ye Maochun, who was standing silently beside Bai Yuheng.

After a brief thought, she said, "Yu'er, although it's a bit troublesome to take them with us, Ye Maochun and Bai Yuheng are our life savers now. First, give that kid some muscle softening powder, and then tie his hands. We'll leave here immediately, go through the dense forest, and then take a boat south..."

"Yes, mother." Xiahou Yu quickly did so.

However, just as they stepped out of the cave, a loud noise came from halfway up the mountain.

"Mother, how should we deal with this? Nalan Qingcheng seems to be about to reach the top of the mountain..." Xiahou Yu said with a worried look on his face.

"Qing...Qingcheng, she...she is here..." Ye Maochun's lifeless and dejected look disappeared in an instant, replaced by a face full of excitement and anticipation.

At the same time, when Bai Yuheng, who was beside Ye Maochun, heard the name "Nalan Qingcheng", a ray of light suddenly flashed in his originally lifeless eyes, as if hope was ignited.

But this ray of light was like a shooting star across the night sky, fleeting, and Bai Yuheng quickly returned to his lifeless, dejected and lonely expression.
