In the end, Captain Song did not elaborate on the reasons for not going to Yanyang Kingdom, but only insisted that he was unwilling to leave Haoyue Kingdom.
Song Lin, raised by Master Zhou and his uncles, had a traditional belief in loyalty and patriotism ingrained in him. He believed his uncle, like most of the Haoyue people, would rather die on the land of his own country.
That's why his uncle was so resistant when Shen Xu proposed to flee to Yanyang Country.
He spoke well of Shen Xu and persuaded Captain Song to accept the current plan. Captain Song had no objection to the plan, but he was very dissatisfied with Shen Xu's use of Xiao Mingcheng to test the poison, thinking that she was somewhat unscrupulous in order to achieve her goal.
"Ah Lin, you must be careful. If you feel something is wrong, find a way to escape as soon as possible. Abandon the plan and ensure your safety first. Only when you are alive can you find a solution."
Song Lin nodded and said, "Don't worry, uncle. We have been with Xiuxiu for such a long time. I know what kind of person she is."
"She's lost her memory, so she'll remember something sooner or later. She's so smart, what if..." Captain Song stopped talking at the right time, "Forget it, Ah Lin may not be willing to listen to my nagging right now. In short, be careful and don't listen to everything your wife says."
The two men ended the dull conversation, put out the fire, and took their positions, waiting for the Xuan Jingsi people to take action.
As night fell, Pei Zhiyuan and the three mirror masters of the Xuan Jing Division quietly stood up and moved towards the carriage.
Song Lin held his breath and let one of them push him tentatively.
"Master General, they are all asleep."
Pei Zhiyuan whispered, "Ah Hu, Xie Jun, keep your voices down and don't disturb the old man."
The mirror user named Ah Hu suggested, "Let's tie them up, take the little prince away, and then set their horses free. When they wake up, they won't be able to catch up with us."
As he spoke, he swiftly tied up Song Lin with a rope, while Pei Zhiyuan and the mirror user named Xiao Ba tiptoed into the carriage.
Pei Zhiyuan quickly carried Xiao Mingcheng out, and Xiao Ba dragged Shen Xu out as well.
"Why are you dragging her along? It's not easy for us to move with so many people." Pei Zhiyuan complained in a low voice.
"This young lady is so pretty and threatening. Shouldn't we lock her up in the Xuanjing Division and teach her a lesson?"
Xiao Ba smiled and carried the person on his shoulders. "If you get tired of playing with it, you can give it to your subordinates. I have never played with such a beautiful thing before. Let the Song one get it for free."
Song Lin closed his eyes tightly and clenched his fists quietly behind his back. If it weren't for Xiuxiu's plan that told him not to act rashly, Xiao Ba's head would have been twisted off by him at this moment.
Pei Zhiyuan urged, "Stop talking nonsense and hurry up. The news that we're escorting the Thirteenth Prince to the capital has probably leaked out long ago. We don't know what dangers are lurking at the next few checkpoints."
The other two men drew their knives and whispered, "Then let's kill these people."
"No!" Pei Zhiyuan hurriedly stopped them. Captain Song jumped up alertly and shouted, "What are you doing?"
Then he staggered back two steps, clutching his chest. "How dare you, despicable villain, poison me!"
There is no trace of performance.
Seeing this, Ah Hu and Xie Jun rushed towards Captain Song with their knives.
Captain Song dodged a few attacks with difficulty and retreated to the light. Without saying a word, he picked up the knife given by Shen Xu and stabbed his arm. Blood immediately gushed out of the wound.
He seemed to be a little more sober, and seeing that the situation was not good, he quickly grabbed his knife and dived into the dark bushes.
"He's injured, chase him!" The two men looked at each other and hurriedly picked up their knives to chase him.
Pei Zhiyuan hurriedly stopped him, saying, "Don't chase after a desperate enemy. Be careful, he's very skilled in martial arts, don't fall into an ambush!"
Ah Hu glanced at Xiao Mingcheng in Pei Zhiyuan's arms and retreated angrily. The other man followed Constable Song into the dark woods and disappeared.
The Mirror Master named Xie Jun quickly lost Captain Song, but did not turn back. Instead, he found a quiet place, called a pigeon, quickly wrote a note, tied the message to the pigeon's leg, and released it.
He watched the pigeon fly away, then walked back quickly.
In the bushes not far away, Captain Song wiped the rabbit's blood off his hands and followed quietly.
When they returned to where they had camped, Song Lin had already woken up. He and Shen Xu were tied back to back in front of the fire, while Pei Zhiyuan and Xiao Ba were sitting by the fire on the other side.
All the hidden weapons on the two men were searched out and piled up on the side. She asked knowingly, "Master Pei, what do you mean by this?"
"Of course, I'm personally escorting the little prince to the capital, and by the way, punishing the people who provoked the Xuanjing Division." Pei Zhiyuan stood up and carefully examined the hidden weapons he had found on her body. He said with a sigh, "Did the young lady make all these? They are really exquisite."
"I didn't expect that Miss Shen has such a delicate and clever hand under such a perfect skin. I really want to get you." He sat next to Shen Xu, put his hand on her thigh, and roamed on her leg.
"If you dare to touch her, Mr. Pei, I will chop off your hands!" Song Lin turned his head, cursed angrily, and twisted his body to try to break free from the rope.
Xiao Ba stepped forward and kicked his calf several times. He said angrily, "You are still stubborn even in this situation. I will pull out your teeth one by one later."
Song Lin gritted his teeth and groaned, raising his feet to fight back without hesitation, but he dodged it nimbly.
"Don't touch my husband!" Shen Xu pressed his back tightly against Song Lin's back and tilted his head hard, trying to see Song Lin's injuries.
Pei Zhiyuan fearlessly moved his hand towards her cheek, caressing her pretty face. He praised her with a sigh of admiration, "What a beauty! Constable Song is truly blessed. If a woman like this were to be employed as a prostitute in the Jiaofangsi military camp, she would definitely become a hot target, right?"
"Pei Zhiyuan, if you dare to touch her, I will fight you!" Song Lin's face darkened as he listened to his insults one by one. He clenched his fists, veins bulged on his forehead, and tried his best to endure it.
"That's right, my uncle is still nearby. You guys together can't beat him." Shen Xu turned his face slightly to avoid his hand and threatened in a deep voice: "If you dare to hurt me and my husband, my uncle will definitely not let you go."
Xiao Ba kicked Song Lin twice more without any hesitation and said contemptuously, "Your uncle has also been poisoned by the drug. He must be hiding somewhere to recover from his injuries. The medicine we have at the Xuan Jing Division can even incapacitate a giant insect. I advise you not to struggle in vain."
Pei Zhiyuan glanced back at the direction of the carriage and warned, "Xiao Ba, go and guard the little prince in the carriage with Ah Hu. Don't let anyone get close."
Xiao Ba nodded and was about to leave, but was tripped by Song Lin and fell to the ground. He turned back angrily and raised his fist, wanting to retaliate against Song Lin, but heard Pei Zhiyuan urging him, "Go quickly."
He had no choice but to stand up, brush off the dirt, and walk towards the carriage.
"Master Pei, now that the person is in your hands, what do you want to do?"
