Who exactly is the person they're talking about?
If Alisa could use this to threaten her master, then her identity must be extraordinary; she must find out the truth.
She was held captive behind a tent by several Hu (non-Han) maids, and the conversation inside abruptly stopped.
"Fu Lang, are you leaving already?" Alisa rushed forward and wrapped her arms around the man's waist. "Can't you stay with me a little longer today?"
Fu Yuchi pushed her hand away expressionlessly, "Princess, I have important matters to attend to in the army, so I will take my leave now."
Is the master leaving?
No way! If she misses this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, she'll have no chance at all.
Are they really just waiting to be tethered to a horse by Alisa and then left to die in the wilderness?
She would rebel! She wouldn't be a beast of burden to be slaughtered!
In desperation, Sun Miao'er stomped hard on the maid's foot.
The maid screamed in pain, and the other two looked away. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Sun Miao'er shoved the men aside with her shoulder and ran straight towards the tent.
Fu Yuchi walked to the outside of the tent and saw several maids chasing after him, pressing one of them hard to the ground.
Alisa's eyes were filled with panic, "Fu Lang, you, you let me explain..."
To everyone's surprise, Fu Yuchi's gaze swept perfunctorily over the person on the ground, her expression remaining unchanged. "What is the princess doing?"
It was so dark outside that Fu Lang couldn't see the person's face clearly.
Arisa thought so, and quickly explained, "This is the cook of the kitchen staff. He found a small insect in my food today, so I had my maid bring him here for questioning."
"Mmm, mmm—"
Sun Miao'er's mouth was sealed with a strip of cloth, so she could only make some indistinct sounds.
Her heart instantly plummeted to freezing point.
His eyes were filled with disbelief.
She tried to raise her head, but the maid had already received a signal from Alisa and pressed her neck firmly to the ground.
Half of his face was buried in the night, and tears streamed down his face, soaking the dust on the ground.
The overwhelming smell of dust made her feel nauseous.
How could this be? His master didn't recognize him?
Unless the master is pretending not to want to acknowledge him.
She traveled a long way to the military camp, just to wait for her master's answer.
However, Fu Yuchi's actions have already provided her with the answer.
This was not the answer she wanted.
“Princess, you must not resort to private punishment; it is against propriety and law. Tomorrow, send her to the deputy general, where she will be dealt with according to military law.”
After Fu Yuchi finished speaking, he disappeared into the night without looking back.
Their departure was swift and hurried, without the slightest hesitation or looking back.
The light in Sun Miao'er's eyes gradually dimmed, the clouds dispersed, and the moon appeared.
She remembered a similar moonlit night when she and her master were honest with each other and expressed their feelings.
Yet today, even though she is right in front of her master, he doesn't recognize her.
Perhaps it's simply that they refuse to acknowledge themselves.
"See that, you little bitch? Fu Lang didn't even recognize you! Hahahaha!"
Arisa was quite pleased with herself, "This shows that Fu Lang doesn't care about you at all. You're just a pitiful person like me!"
"Bring Aoshuang here."
As she finished speaking, the maid led in a horse that was entirely silver-white.
Under the moonlight, there wasn't a single stray hair on his body.
"Men, tie her up. Now it's up to you to deal with her!"
Sun Miao'er felt utterly hopeless. She gazed into the deep night, but could no longer see that familiar figure.
She didn't know how the maid dragged her to the back of the horse; she could only feel the chill creeping up her body.
It's so cold.
Why aren't Xia Jiu and Dong Qi, those two idiots, here yet? I've only heard Xia Jiu bragging on the way here, but when it really comes down to it, I can't even find a trace of him.
Sun Miao'er's consciousness gradually faded; it was much colder here than in Yingzhou.
She was shivering unconsciously in the desolate wilderness, dressed in only thin clothes.
A maid's indistinct voice came from beside me: "Go!"
"I'm not going. What if I accidentally kill someone?"
"What's the harm in killing her? The princess hates her to the core anyway, and it might even be a great achievement!"
Her consciousness was dispelled by the cold wind.
All that could be heard was the crisp sound of the whip striking the horse's back, followed by a long neigh from the white horse.
Her whole body was pulled by the rope, and she was propelled straight forward.
Pain! The sharp pain brought her consciousness back to focus.
She can't just die like this!
With lightning speed, Sun Miao'er spotted a rock by the roadside, stuck her head out, and hooked her arm tightly onto the rock.
The horse was being restrained by the reins, and her ankle was scraped by a stone, her clothes soaked in blood.
"You bitch!"
The maidservant followed, raising the whip in her hand, ready to lash her.
However, Sun Miao'er did not receive the whip.
The maidservant fell straight down in front of her, a short arrow still stuck in her chest.
He has already stopped breathing.
Before the maid on horseback could respond, she fell to the ground.
The horse also died.
The official road in the wilderness was eerily quiet.
Sun Miao'er slowly opened her eyes. The man in front of her, dressed in black with black hair, seemed to melt into the night.
But she knew that this figure couldn't be her master.
The pain in her ankle overwhelmed her; she was so sleepy she didn't even want to open her eyes.
It's fine to just fall asleep like this.
In the military camp.
The man in black knelt on the ground. "General, I was almost too late."
Fu Yuchi's palms were soaked with cold sweat. His heart felt like it was being twisted in knots, a sharp pain welling up inside him. "So, it's too late after all?"
"General, spare my life!"
The man in black said respectfully, "When I arrived, the two maids had already tied the girl to her horse, but fortunately she hadn't gone far and the girl was unharmed."
It didn't go very far.
These four words alone were enough to kill Fu Yuchi.
Why is it still too late?
He left in such a hurry, and returned so hastily to give instructions, yet he still couldn't make it in time.
He still managed to hurt Xiao Miao'er.
"That's enough." A bitter feeling washed over him, and he closed his eyes, feeling his eyes well up with tears.
When those beautiful eyes opened again, they were filled with vicious hatred.
He vowed to crush the Western Regions and make Alisa pay for her actions!
"How's the search going?"
His voice was heavy with exhaustion; he had never felt so powerless.
Nothing escaped his control, except for the wickedness of Arisa.
I never expected that Alisa would set her sights on Miao'er's father.
How Alisa learned about Miao'er and Guo Jinliang's relationship is now impossible to verify.
But by the time he realized what was happening, Guo Jinliang and his family had been taken away by people from the Western Regions.
He has now sent people to search the entire Kezhou region thoroughly, but still found nothing.
This only proves that Guo Jinliang was hidden in the Western Regions by Alisa.
Currently, the country is still unstable and not yet ready to invade the Western Regions. He can only feign compromise with Alisa to buy time while sending men out to search for Guo Jinliang's whereabouts.
