Chapter 141 Going to the Third Prince's Lair
Shen Wan ignored him and rushed out the door pushing Xie Mubai.
"You're so squeamish just because you got a little scratch from a nail!" The old tutor looked at him with disdain, "If all the men in the world were like you, who would we count on to guard the border?"
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that he must not allow this guy, who was more pretentious than a woman, to ascend the throne.
Although the prince is a bit mediocre, he is definitely not the kind of person who would act as if his end is near just because of a little scratch.
It seems that the old man, the Duke of Zhenguo, has a sharp eye and can see at a glance that this guy is not capable of taking on such a heavy responsibility.
Upon hearing this, the Third Prince's expression suddenly changed.
He was about to explain when he saw the old tutor leave without looking back.
That’s right, what can a drop of blood represent?
I must have been too nervous recently, which is why I lost my composure like this.
She's just a little girl, how capable can she be?
He didn't know that it was a big gift from Shen Wan to him.
At this time, Shen Wan had already boarded the carriage and hurried towards the grove at the town entrance with the officers, soldiers and a group of fugitives.
With the help of everyone, they almost dug three feet deep into the woods, but still found no trace of Da Niu and Xie Murong.
"Big girl, where are you?" Looking at the empty woods, Big Girl's mother cried out in anxiety, "Come out quickly, stop playing hide-and-seek with me!"
"It's my fault. I shouldn't have left you alone in the room."
Listening to the shrill cry, Shen Wan's eyes turned red.
"Is that bastard lying?" She tugged at the villain's sleeve and asked in a low voice.
Xie Mubai frowned slightly.
With the old tutor around, the third prince shouldn't dare to lie.
Looking down, I saw a pile of horse manure under the tree and a shallow hoof print next to it.
"He didn't lie." Xie Mubai looked at it and seemed to understand something. He said, "I understand. Let's go southeast."
Southeast direction?
That’s Changping County!
Everyone knows that Concubine Yu was from Changping.
In other words, that was the third prince's lair!
Once we get there, even the old tutor’s words might not be effective.
"Your Highness, please think carefully about this." The leading officer said cautiously after hearing this.
Xie Mubai showed displeasure: "If you are afraid, don't go."
As soon as these words were spoken, the leading officers' faces turned unhappy.
Of course he was scared.
Apart from the old Grand Tutor, I'm afraid there are few people in Wei who are not afraid of the Third Prince.
“The old tutor has instructed that everything should be done according to the young lady’s instructions.” He thought for a moment and then looked at Shen Wan.
After Shen Wan heard this, her eyes fell on the group of fugitives.
Seeing that she seemed to be thinking about something, the leading officers and soldiers were delighted.
As expected, women are all timid and fearful.
"Find someone to take these fugitives back first, and then inform the old tutor." Shen Wan thought for a moment and said, "The rest of you disguise yourself as a passing merchant caravan and accompany me to Changping."
Upon hearing this, the leading officers and soldiers were so angry that they almost fainted.
This ugly girl is really not afraid of trouble. She even dares to break into the lair of the third prince. Does she think she is too ugly and wants to be reborn with a pretty face as soon as possible?
He was angry, and the convicts were also anxious.
"Young Madam, we have to go with you."
"Yes, the young lady has been kind to us. Now that you are in trouble, how can we just sit back and watch!"
"Take us with you. Maybe more people can help you."
Looking at the anxious faces in front of her, Shen Wan couldn't help but feel warm in her heart.
Sure enough, all my efforts along the way were not in vain.
"It's not convenient for you to go to Changping." Shen Wan said with a smile, "Besides, Brother Hu is in a hurry to leave, so we can't delay too long."
"Please tell Brother Hu that the prince and I will catch up with the team after we finish our business and will definitely not delay his journey."
Even if they didn't say this, no one would believe that the couple would run away.
If they really wanted to escape, they wouldn't have to wait until now.
"Then take me with you!" Big Girl's mother grabbed Shen Wan's sleeve and begged bitterly, "Big Girl will be scared if I'm not around."
"Sister-in-law, listen to me, go back first." Shen Wan advised, "I know you are worried about the girl, but the situation is critical now, and sister-in-law doesn't know martial arts, so taking you on the road will inevitably affect the process."
"If this delays important matters, won't my sister-in-law regret it?"
"Don't worry, sister-in-law, I will definitely bring the girl back."
After hearing this, Da Niuniang could only nod her head while crying.
After comforting the big girl's mother, Shen Wan carried Xie Mubai into the car.
Soon, the group headed towards Changping.
Changping is not far from here, just a day's journey.
At this time, Shen Wan disguised herself as a middle-aged wealthy businessman with a beard on her face, and Xie Mubai also changed into women's clothes. Although he did not wear any makeup, his skin was still glowing white.
Seeing the villain wearing women's clothing, Shen Wan was so shocked that she couldn't recover for a long time.
She thought she must have found a treasure, such a handsome man was hers!
Seeing someone staring at him, Xie Mubai's face darkened.
He originally wanted to wear men's clothes, but a little girl wanted to try on men's clothes.
In desperation, he could only make concessions.
He ignored her and lifted the curtain to look outside.
At this time, a group of officers and soldiers also disguised themselves as followers, carrying their loads and following closely.
Xie Mubai looked at the roadside for a while, and from the messy horseshoe prints, he determined the general route of the guard.
So, the group entered Changping City from the east gate in a mighty procession.
Unlike what was expected, the Third Prince's lair was not prosperous and looked even worse than Chenliu County.
Shen Wan was not in a hurry to find someone, but stayed in an inn first.
As soon as he entered the house, Xie Mubai asked someone for paper and pen.
"Little beauty, what are you doing?" Shen Wan whistled at him frivolously.
Xie Mubai frowned slightly.
He picked up the brush and said calmly, "Draw the portraits of Da Niu and Murong, and then have those people take them out to inquire."
Upon hearing this, Shen Wan laughed and said, “Let me do this.
Before she finished speaking, she pulled the villain into the space.
Entering the study and turning on the computer, Shen Wan drew two portraits as quickly as possible and printed many copies.
Looking at the computer screen flashing with strange light, Xie Mubai suddenly felt that his brain was not enough.
Shouldn't we use pen and paper to draw?
Why did this Harley Quinn draw so many things in a short time without using anything?
What made him feel even more incredible was that her painting skills were so amazing.
However, with just a few strokes, the painting came alive, as if Xie Murong and the big girl were standing right in front of him.
After finishing the painting, the two of them didn't stay in the space for too long and walked out.
Shen Wan found the leading officer and handed him the portraits: "Give these to the beggars on the roadside. Anyone who can lead to these two people will be rewarded with 10,000 taels of silver."
Upon hearing this, the leading officers and soldiers' eyes turned red with envy.
No wonder those fugitives are willing to hang out with this couple, it turns out there are such benefits. I just wonder if they still need followers now?
The leading officer hurriedly retreated with the portrait, his mind wandering.
Soon, a beggar on the roadside brought news about Xie Murong.
The daughter of a noble family was actually sold to a brothel!
