"Everyone is doing this for His Highness's own good, isn't that right?"
Mengyao didn't say anything more and turned to leave.
The six people were left looking at each other in bewilderment.
"Boss, does the Crown Princess mean something like this?"
"As expected, you understand women's hearts best. But His Highness instructed that Miss Han's life must be saved."
"Boss, should we?"
"We'll talk about it when the time comes. What the Crown Princess said isn't without reason."
The leader spread out the silver notes in his hand, saw that there were five thousand-tael notes on them, and laughed loudly, "They're just two peasants from the countryside. Let's go have a meal first."
This mission is great, it's not difficult at all. There are only six of them, catching up with those two is a piece of cake.
Once they catch up, whether they kill or torture the victim is entirely up to their whim.
"The boss is right. We'll see how things go."
Actually, what the Crown Princess said is not wrong. There are always accidental injuries when killing people. If Miss Han was accidentally injured, it should be fine, right?
...
Han Ruoxue and her group stayed for two nights and set off early the next morning.
She left Grandpa Xu enough food for two months, just enough for them to eat porridge.
I made another deal with the government. I have to say that the government in this era is still quite people-oriented. I haven't encountered any overly greedy ones yet.
The old man I met yesterday is kicking himself. He also came to buy grain, but Han Luoxue specifically told them not to sell to him.
The old man started cursing again and was chased away by the soldiers.
The two traveled at a leisurely pace, stopping frequently, until the end of the year when they finally remembered they needed to go home.
There was still no notification that the space needed to be upgraded, and Han Luoxue was getting anxious.
But there was no use in being anxious. She had tried everything she could think of, but nothing worked.
"Brother Chen, I think we're being too slow. By the way, besides the army in Yongyang, are there any other troops elsewhere?"
The military has the largest number of personnel, and the results are better there.
"Yes, let Xuanyuan Pavilion contact us after the New Year."
Their small-scale operations are fine, but doing business directly with the military is too conspicuous.
"Alright, you haven't seen your parents for half a year, are you ready to go back?"
Thinking of her father's furious expression, Han Luoxue felt anxious for Han Yuchen.
"It should be fine, right?" Han Yuchen wasn't sure either, and he reached out to touch Han Luoxue's noticeably protruding belly: "Does this count as my get-out-of-jail-free card?"
Han Yuchen shuddered as she thought of the sinister look in Han Mingyuan's eyes.
This is going to be tough. They've brought back someone's daughter and a little boy too. Han Mingyuan must be ready to fight them.
"Xue'er, it only takes a day to get to the capital from here. Why don't we go and take a look?"
He hadn't contacted Beijing for so long, and his grandparents missed him terribly.
Actually, the main point is that you don't need to walk much more.
"Go see your grandfather?"
Han Luoxue had barely finished asking when she got a slap on the bottom: "What do you mean, your maternal grandfather? He's our maternal grandfather!"
They've become relatives twice already, but he doesn't even call me "grandfather" anymore? Han Yuchen was a little hurt.
"Okay, I misspoke."
Seeing the man's pitiful look, Han Luoxue touched her slapped buttocks. Although it didn't hurt, why did her face feel so hot?
“Returning to the capital is not out of the question, but what about the Crown Prince?” The capital is the Crown Prince’s territory. Last time they ran away secretly. Now they’re walking right into a trap. Can they hide it from the Crown Prince’s spies?
"Let's disguise ourselves."
Han Yuchen didn't dare to take the risk. He himself didn't care, but Han Luoxue was pregnant and couldn't withstand any trouble.
Having made up their minds, the two returned to the capital.
Han Luoxue redeemed a disguise pill in her space. This thing was not expensive, costing 100 points per pill.
In the past, Han Luoxue would have felt sorry for her. But now, after working for so long, she had almost 100,000 points in her space, so she didn't feel so sorry for her anymore.
Looking back now, the things I traded for back then were really cheap.
When they were about to arrive in the capital, both of them took a disguise pill.
The two people's appearances instantly transformed into those of people in their thirties, their looks so drastically changed that even their own parents wouldn't recognize them.
"Brother Chen."
Han Luoxue was about to laugh when she saw Han Yuchen's expression, but the words that came out of her mouth startled her.
Why has her voice changed? It's no longer the sweet voice she used to have; now it's a bit hoarse, and even she feels uncomfortable listening to it.
"This thing is pretty good; it even changes the sound."
Han Yuchen's voice had changed; he was completely different now. Even if he revealed his identity, the Crown Prince probably wouldn't believe him.
At this time, there were still about half a month until the Chinese New Year, and they could stay in the capital for a maximum of seven or eight days.
I can't just go home during the Chinese New Year.
The next day at dusk, the two finally arrived at the general's mansion.
Dressed in coarse cloth and with an ordinary appearance, he walked to the entrance of the general's mansion. A servant politely stepped forward and asked, "Is there anything I can help you with?"
The people in the General's Mansion are quite well-mannered; if it were an ordinary family, they would probably have kicked them out immediately.
"I need to see Butler Liu!"
Han Yuchen took out a jade pendant and waved it in front of the servant.
The servant's pupils contracted, and his expression became serious: "Please follow me, both of you."
People passing by the General's Mansion were shocked to see this scene and peered out.
However, no one dared to step forward and ask.
"Who are you?"
Looking at Han Yuchen's jade pendant, the old general stared at the stranger in front of him with a puzzled expression.
"Grandpa!"
A strange voice startled the old general so much that he almost jumped up.
"You, who are you?"
Good heavens, I can't believe it, which of his nephews is this?
The key question is, is she that old as her nephew?
The old general looked at the two suspiciously, but Han Luoxue kindly spoke up: "Grandpa, I am Xue'er."
"Xue? Xue'er?" The old general still couldn't believe it. The last time they met, Han Ruoxue was just a teenager. How could she have become a middle-aged woman in the blink of an eye?
"I used a disguise pill, and its effects last for ten days, so I can't recover for now."
Han Ruoxue spoke helplessly.
The old general strode over to the two men, his face almost touching theirs.
Han Yuchen grabbed him again: "Grandpa, the disguise pill has no flaws, so you don't need to look. Remember the body-strengthening pill I gave you last time? It's the same method."
Upon hearing this, the old general took a deep breath.
His health is now excellent; he's stronger than most people in their forties.
After so many years on the battlefield, I've accumulated countless hidden injuries. I also have various physical ailments, such as backaches, leg cramps, etc., which are all normal phenomena.
But ever since he took the Body Strengthening Pill, his health had improved considerably. He felt much better than he had in years. Now, hearing Han Yuchen say that the Disguise Pill and the Body Strengthening Pill were based on the same method, how could he not be excited?
