Before she could investigate further, An Lu had already stopped what he was doing, as if he had made up his mind.
"No rush. As long as they haven't entered the city, they'll definitely pass by here." He glanced at the surrounding hills. "Go to the highest point nearby. Unless they refuse to eat, drink, or move, there will always be movement."
After saying this, he walked off in another direction without looking back, and the dozen or so gray shadows followed him silently. Like wandering ghosts in the hills, they vanished in an instant.
Xiao Nanhui waited until he could no longer hear any sound before slowly walking out from behind the rock. The world once again returned to deathly silence. If it weren't for the gerbil's corpse on the ground, it would seem as if nothing had happened here.
She took a deep breath and almost ran back to the place she had left before along the route in her mind, but she couldn't find the person no matter how hard she looked. She was so anxious that she was sweating profusely.
She didn't dare to shout loudly, and could only call out in a low and urgent voice: "Your Majesty? Your Majesty..."
After a long time, she saw a figure walking out hesitantly from the shadows behind the rocks.
She breathed a sigh of relief and walked over quickly with the string in hand.

"Your Majesty, we need to find a place to hide first. When it gets dark, I will go and find out if there is any news about the Tiancheng army."
"Okay." He replied briefly and looked at her quietly, like a well-behaved child waiting for arrangements.
Facing such a gaze, she felt an unprecedented pressure, as if if she could not make effective arrangements, she would betray his wholehearted trust.
After racking her brains and gazing at the colorful rock faces around her for a long time, she finally realized that the surrounding terrain looked familiar. A vague memory from the past finally emerged.
Seqiu is an ancient place name, and few people call Suyan by that name nowadays.
So she had always thought that this was her first time in this place, so even when she set foot in it, she didn't think in other directions.
She grasped the idea and pondered it carefully again, and gradually a certain conclusion appeared in her eyes.
"Your Majesty, I know a place where we can hide temporarily."
