Several soldiers were sitting in the main tent, their skin torn and their bodies wrapped in bandages.
The bandaging technique was very different from that used in the Great Chu Camp.
"This is……?"
Tang Nian was a little confused. Did they want her to come and heal her wounds?
"Yes, Lord Tang, these are prisoners released by Da Gan. They have important matters to report."
Tang Nian looked at the several wounded soldiers.
It seems that Da Gan has really backed down this time.
"Reporting to your Excellency, we brothers have information about the person you are looking for."
Tang Nian's eyes lit up, but she calmly said, "Tell me about it."
"My lord, we met this young master among the prisoners. He was the only one who wasn't from the military camp, so he left a very deep impression on us. However, he didn't come back with us."
Several other soldiers echoed this sentiment.
This made Tang Nian even more puzzled.
It's true that these soldiers have Ming Huan's aura, but she had also been to Da Gan's military camp, where she hadn't sensed Ming Huan's presence.
The generals all gave the same testimony that they did not know Ming Huan.
Under those circumstances, Tang Nian didn't believe they would lie.
But these people in front of her are telling her that Ming Huan is still working hard?
Tang Nian calmly nodded: "You guys go and rest first."
"General Lin, what do you think?"
After being helped away from the military tent by several people, Tang Nian turned to look at Lin Zhenming.
Lin Zhenming's body trembled, and he remained silent for a long time before cautiously probing.
"Does Your Excellency still wish to seek out this young master?"
Tang Nian nodded, with an expression that seemed perfectly natural.
This put Lin Zhenming in an even more difficult position.
"Lord Tang, now that Da Gan has withdrawn its troops, if we pursue them while we are ahead, it may lead to a rift between the two countries. And now that Da Gan has taken the initiative to seek reconciliation, I'm afraid..."
"Alright, I don't need your help." Tang Nian waved her hand impatiently, not wanting to hear any more of this lecture. "Prepare two horses for me first thing tomorrow morning, and Lord Lou and I will go."
"this……"
Lin Zhenming was still somewhat hesitant.
But Tang Nian's words dispelled his idea of continuing to persuade her.
"Why don't you go?"
"This subordinate will take care of it immediately."
Lin Zhenming seemed to have oil on his feet; before he had even finished speaking, he quickly walked out of the tent.
The next morning, before dawn, the two had already left the city gate and set off for Dagan.
Over the years, continuous battles have led to the constant expansion of Da Gan's territory, which has also swallowed up many small border towns of the Great Chu.
Therefore, it did not take long for the two to reach the border of Da Gan.
Between Da Chu and Da Gan lies a no-man's-land, where many madmen and江湖人士 (jianghu figures) operate.
They also do some trading in the surrounding small towns.
This is also the foundation upon which the local people depend for their livelihood.
This is precisely why, despite the long-standing conflict between the two countries, the border remains poorly managed.
Especially in small towns, almost everyone can come and go.
Only large cities have strict regulations.
The two men were dressed like江湖人士 (jianghu figures, people from the martial arts world), and the guards glanced at them casually before letting them in.
Before entering the city, Tang Nian glimpsed her portrait on the notice board at the city gate.
It wasn't a reward, just a reminder to the people to take a detour.
She awkwardly touched her nose and walked quickly forward amidst Lou Mu's laughter.
They randomly chose an inn, tied up their horses, and went into the room.
Tang Nian was dressed in men's clothing at this moment, and her facial features had also been slightly altered by magic, making her look more like a man.
That's why I wasn't recognized along the way.
She lowered her voice slightly: "The atmosphere here is very mixed, why don't we split up?"
Although it's a small town, its geographical location means that a mix of all sorts of people is inevitable.
Tang Nian had places she wanted to go, but she didn't want to give up on investigating other places either.
Lou Mu calmed down and sensed the area. After confirming that there was no aura that could threaten Tang Nian, he nodded.
Tang Nian's goal was clear: the military camp.
The entire team is currently staying in the city; it's unclear whether they plan to continue retreating or settle there.
However, after being ravaged by Tang Nian yesterday, the military camp was now so heavily guarded that not even a mosquito could fly in.
But how could this possibly stump Tang Nian?
After much deliberation, I decided it was best not to alert them.
She formed a hand seal to conceal herself and swaggered into the military camp.
Where should we begin our investigation?
She stood in the center of the military camp, her finger touching her chin, looking around.
Remembering the bandaged wounds of those soldiers, he decided to go and check on the wounded soldiers first.
With just one glance, Tang Nian knew she had come to the right place.
The soldier lying here even had his wounds stitched up!
The area around the stitches has also begun to lignify.
The faint wood grain spread across their wounds, but they hadn't yet turned into wood, so they didn't pay much attention, and it hadn't caused any panic yet.
But why would soldiers who are engaged in a large-scale battle react in this way?
Tang Nian looked around and saw that there were no military doctors in the entire tent, only a few wounded soldiers chatting.
The smell of blood mixed with body odor made Tang Nian's nose twitch.
The sewing kit on the table was open, but the needles and thread inside were the most ordinary kind.
There might be something on the injured person if it's not on the table!
Tang Nian turned her head to look at the soldiers chatting there.
His wound was on his abdomen, probably from a dressing change. The removed bandages were still lying nearby, and the wound was now clearly visible.
Just as she was about to get closer to examine the stitches on the soldier's body for any abnormalities, she heard footsteps behind her.
"grown ups."
The soldier quickly put down his clothes, stood up, and saluted the people behind Tang Nian.
Tang Nian turned her head, but she had never seen the person behind her before.
But she sensed danger emanating from this person.
She stood aside for a moment, then took a deep look at the wounded soldiers sitting upright in the tent, and decided to leave first.
Many unfamiliar faces appeared in the military camp, and Tang Nian did not want to show herself and force her to reveal anything. There was no trace of Ming Huan in the camp either, so Tang Nian returned to the inn early.
Lou Mu was already waiting for her at the inn.
"What did you find?"
Tang Nian did not sit down, but picked up the tea on the tea tray and drank it all in one gulp: "The security is tight, and we didn't find anything, except for the traces of wood decay found on the soldiers who were fighting hard."
"Don't drink cold tea, come on, have this."
Lou Mu produced a candied hawthorn skewer in his hand as if by magic, and the maltose coating on it made Tang Nian's heart itch with desire.
"Thank you."
Tang Nian licked her lips, grabbed a candied hawthorn, bit off a piece, and chewed it.
Even his droopy face was beaming with joy.
This guy is as easy to coax as ever.
Lou Mu propped his head up with one hand, a smile playing on his lips, and quietly watched Tang Nian.
