Outside, Ma Ying's scouts reported that Datong Escort Agency and Zhonghe Money Exchange were deserted, and his heart sank.

Feng Zirou's death order still echoed in his ears, "You must ensure Song Yunyang's safety!"

Left with no other choice, Ma Ying selected ten battle-hardened and highly skilled men as his subordinates. These warriors were the elite of the caravan and a reliable and sharp weapon.

He sternly ordered the remaining men to stay put and keep a close watch on the goods on the wagons, ensuring that nothing went wrong.

Then, Ma Ying led his ten men and rode at full speed toward the Great Yan army camp.

During the day, they dared not make any rash moves and could only find a secluded place to rest.

Night fell like a giant black curtain, slowly enveloping the earth.

Under the cover of night, Ma Ying and his men quietly bypassed the impenetrable patrols of the Yan Kingdom army and infiltrated the outer perimeter of the camp little by little.

Ma Ying ordered his men to disperse and search for Song Yunyang's location. His men nodded and then disappeared into the darkness like shadows in the night.

Ma Ying himself moved cautiously, his steps light and his breathing steady, afraid of making any noise that might alert the enemy.

After a long search lasting half an hour, Ma Ying finally found Song Yunyang's command tent.

Unexpectedly, there were no guards outside the command tent. This unusual quiet made Ma Ying feel a little wary. Could it be a trap?

Taking a deep breath, Ma Ying decided to risk entering the commander's tent.

However, as soon as Ma Ying entered the command tent, he was stunned. All ten of his men had their throats slit, and their bodies were carelessly thrown aside.

Not far in front of him, Jiang Wenyu was leisurely eating barbecue, with Song Yunyang standing beside him.

Seeing this, a resolute glint flashed in Ma Ying's eyes. He gripped the hilt of his knife tightly with his right hand, and then leaped out like a cheetah.

However, just as he was about to make a move, more than a dozen of Jiang Wenyu's guards suddenly rushed in from behind and surrounded Ma Yingtuan.

Jiang Wenyu sneered and said with a contemptuous look, "That ignorant fool, kill him."

"Wait!" Song Yunyang shouted, then looked down at Jiang Wenyu, "Let him go, and I'll agree to marry you."
