On Cangwu Mountain, after Dugu Xin brought Han Yu up the mountain, the first person they met was the military doctor who had previously taken Lieutenant General Liu's pulse.
At this moment, the military doctor was busy collecting herbs. Unexpectedly, as soon as he looked up, he saw Dugu Xin, which scared him immediately.
After realizing what was happening, the military doctor immediately saluted him.
"I pay my respects to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
Dugu Xin waved his hand, "Get up. Judging from the military doctor's expression, he must have made a decision."
The military doctor nodded quickly, "Your Highness, please forgive us. We were also deceived by Qi Yuan in the beginning."
"When we learned that he was attempting to use the plague on the people, we also disagreed."
Dugu Xin sneered, "But for the sake of your own lives, you still abandoned the people of Dayu."
When the military doctor heard this, he was so frightened that his legs went weak and he knelt down again.
"Your Highness, please spare us. We were really forced to do this."
"As long as Your Highness is willing to let us go, we promise not to do anything to harm the people of Dayu in the future."
Dugu Xin did not speak, but looked at the busy people outside the military doctor's tent.
"Where is Qi Yuan?"
When the military doctor heard this, he dared not delay any longer and immediately pointed to the location of the largest hill.
"General Qi's room is on the top of the mountain. We are not allowed to go up there at will unless there is something important to do on weekdays."
After Dugu Xin learned what he wanted to know, he no longer paid any attention to the military doctor.
"I hope you'll keep your word and take care of yourself. If I find out you dare to harm the people again, don't blame me for being ruthless."
When the military doctor heard this, he didn't dare to refute. He nodded hurriedly and quickly packed up and ran away.
Dugu Xin was not afraid that he would go to deliver the letter to Qi Yuan, because judging from the situation on the mountain, most people must have received the news.
"Han Yu, take your men directly to Qi Yuan's residence. Make sure he doesn't get away."
Han Yu took the order and rushed forward with his men, while Dugu Xin took Ye Sheng for a stroll in the chaotic camp of the Qi family army.
"Strange, why didn't anyone on the mountain come to stop us?"
Dugu Xin snorted coldly, "They are all busy escaping right now, how can they have time to pay attention to us?"
"Besides, many of them don't know me, so there's nothing curious about them ignoring us."
After they walked for a while, someone with sharp eyes finally recognized Princess Xinya.
"Princess Xinya, why are you here?"
After the man finished speaking, he immediately noticed Dugu Xin and Ye Sheng beside Xinya.
After a moment's thought, the man understood their identities and immediately bowed.
"General Li Qi greets His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the Princess, and the Prince Consort."
When Dugu Xin saw this, he knew that this person was of some status, so he opened his mouth and asked.
"What position do you hold in the Qi family army?"
"Your Highness, I am a junior officer in the Qi Family Army. I happened to meet the princess in the capital, so I guessed your identity."
Dugu Xin saw that Li Qi was quite clever, so he asked again.
"What's going on on the mountain now? Why are they ignoring us when we come up here?"
Li Qi felt a little embarrassed when he heard this, scratched his head, and then said.
"Lieutenant General Liu has already informed us of your poisoning. Right now, the soldiers are busy surrendering and naturally have no time to spare."
"Besides, there are over 30,000 soldiers in the army, and not everyone knows each other, so it's understandable that they didn't recognize you."
Dugu Xin understood, but he was still a little confused. When Li Qi saw him frown, he knew what he was thinking.
"Your Highness, you may not know that the Qi family army used to be very strict in military discipline, but since going up the mountain, everyone has gradually relaxed their vigilance."
"Over time, I gradually become lazy, and it's normal to be a little careless occasionally."
After listening to this, Dugu Xin suddenly felt that he seemed to have overestimated them.
"So, many of you have long been dissatisfied with being stationed here?"
Li Qi nodded, and then explained to Dugu Xin. Through Li Qi's words, Dugu Xin realized that the Qi family's rat breeding had already aroused the dissatisfaction of the soldiers in the army.
At this moment, coupled with the fact that he had poisoned everyone, those soldiers naturally did not want to risk their lives.
After sorting out all the problems, Dugu Xin asked Li Qi to organize the soldiers on the mountain.
Li Qi not only did not refuse but was very happy when he heard this.
After he left, Princess Xinya and Ye Sheng shook their heads helplessly.
"It seems that we were too nervous."
Dugu Xin nodded, then led the two of them towards where Qi Yuan was.
But when they arrived at Qi Yuan's residence, Qi Yuan was no longer in the room except for a few disheveled women.
"What's going on? Where are the people from Qi Yuan?"
Han Yu touched his nose and stepped forward to answer with some embarrassment.
"My Lord, I don't know who leaked the news, but Qi Yuan ran away with a few of his personal guards."
"Run away? Where did they run from? Is there another way out of this mountain?"
Han Yu nodded and pointed to a cliff behind General Fang and a rope hanging on the cliff.
"Qi Yuan and the others left from here. According to these women, they've been gone for about half an hour."
"Half an hour? He shouldn't have gone far. Send someone to search quickly. We can't let him get away."
"By the way, he's most likely heading towards the Imperial Capital. Send a message to the brothers in the Number One Village immediately."
Han Yu nodded, then looked towards the chaotic mountain.
"Master, what should we do with them?"
"Don't worry about these people for now. I'll be able to deal with them later. The most urgent thing is to intercept Qi Yuan first."
