When the scout captain slowly opened his eyes, he found himself in a dark cave. He shook his dizzy head vigorously, secretly regretting: Damn, I was so careless! Where on earth is this? Could this all be a carefully laid trap by the Beiliu Kingdom?
Something's wrong! He thought to himself. His mission this time was a secret. Aside from a few close associates, his uncle, and a few cousins, no one else knew his true identity. Furthermore, he'd donned the mysterious mask given to him by Dark Moon Enchantress before leaving, so it should be foolproof.
At this moment, a petite figure walked in from outside the cave. It turned out to be the tied-up girl. She held a kettle filled with mountain spring water in her hand, tilted the kettle slightly, and brought the cool, sweet spring water to his lips.
The scout captain frowned slightly, his eyes revealing a hint of doubt and vigilance: "Are you a spy sent by Beiliu Kingdom?"
The little girl raised the corner of her mouth slightly, revealing a faint smile and replied: "No!"
The scout captain then asked, "So, you are a spy from Yuewu Kingdom?"
The girl seemed a little impatient. She gently waved her arm and slapped the scout captain on the head. She said jokingly, "Bei Liu Kingdom, Yue Wu Kingdom... Is this the limit of your understanding? Are we, Youli Kingdom, unworthy?"
The joy in the scout captain's eyes was as fleeting as a meteor: "You, Youli, and Dazhao have been on good terms for generations. Let me go quickly! Otherwise, the consequences will be disastrous!"
The little girl curled her lips and retorted disapprovingly, "What does the friendship between the two countries have to do with you? You ruined my plan, why should I let you go?"
The scout captain raised his eyebrows and shouted in a self-righteous tone, "This...this young master and Prince Xiao are close friends! He is your Princess Nanzhi's cousin. For his sake, you should let me go!"
The little girl blinked her bright eyes and asked curiously, "Oh? You actually know Princess Nanzhi? Then tell me, what kind of person is Princess Nanzhi?"
The scout captain licked his dry lips and replied after a slight hesitation, "Princess Nanzhi is such an innocent, lively and lovely little girl! She's so beautiful, she looks like a fairy from a painting! Her eyebrows and eyes are especially like her aunt's!"
Hearing this, the little girl's eyes grew deep. She lowered her voice and asked slowly, "So, you still recognize Princess Nanzhi's aunt?"
The scout captain nodded vigorously, his face filled with reverence. "Yes, I was lucky enough to witness it when I was a child! It was truly like a fairy descending from the heavens, truly unforgettable!"
The little girl stared at the man's face with wide eyes, muttering to herself, "Who are you? I don't believe you're just a mere scout!"
As soon as she finished speaking, she reached out without hesitation and gently touched the edge of the scout captain's jaw. After a careful feel, she found that she had pinched a thin layer of dough between her two fingers.
"Hahahaha! This is actually the mask made by my master!" The little girl shouted excitedly, and then suddenly tore the mask off the scout captain's face!
In an instant, the face of a handsome man with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes appeared before the little girl. She opened her mouth in shock and screamed, "King Qin!"
Chu Chengjin looked at the quirky little girl in front of him, and couldn't help but feel curious. He raised his eyebrows slightly, a hint of doubt in his eyes, and slowly asked, "You actually know me? Then, what is your name, young lady?"
The little girl swiftly reached out and removed the mask covering her face. A sweet smile blossomed like a blooming flower. Her voice was clear and melodious, like the sound of a yellow oriole singing in a valley: "I am Nanzhi!"
Before she finished speaking, Nanzhi quickly leaned over and deftly untied the ropes that bound Chu Chengjin's hands and feet. She raised her head, her eyes meeting Chu Chengjin's, and suddenly stuck out her tongue shyly, saying coquettishly, "Oh, Your Highness, Prince Qin, why are you using the art of disguise too? And this technique... is clearly my master's unique skill!"
The King of Qin raised his eyebrows slightly, staring at the person before him with a sharp gaze. He asked, "Your master is actually the Dark Moon Fairy? With her abilities, how could you be kidnapped? Who dares to be so bold? Tell me!"
Nanzhi raised the corner of his mouth slightly, revealing a faint smile, and replied: "I did learn from a master in Nanyi City. As for those who kidnapped me, they might be spies sent by Beiliu. But to be honest, I don’t quite know what they want to do. Maybe they want to kidnap me to threaten my father. In this case, I might as well let nature take its course and let them kidnap me and see what happens next." His tone was relaxed and casual, as if he didn't care about the matter.
At that moment, on the northern plateau, the Luo family army's commander's tent was in chaos, the voices clamoring like a pot of boiling porridge! The reason was simple: the King of Qin had been kidnapped at the border and his whereabouts were unknown! This news was like a bolt from the blue, shocking everyone.
Luo Jing was terribly anxious. If something truly happened to the King of Qin, he had no idea how to report it to Emperor Wen, and it would be even harder for him to face his wife and sister-in-law! Thinking of this, he made a quick decision and ordered Luo Linghuai beside him, "Quickly lead a team of personal guards to search for the King of Qin. Remember, don't make any noise, or you'll alert the enemy!"
