"Lingshui?!" Qi Zhan repeated in a broken voice, "He's trying to attack the Northern Qiang King's tent?!"
"How is this possible? Are they crazy?" Lieutenant General Xu couldn't help but become anxious.
At first they thought Fu Yin brought thousands of people to chase deserters, but this man was like a wild wolf, holding on tightly and refusing to let go, so they had no choice but to announce to the outside world that "there were other arrangements."
No one expected that Fu Yin would actually go directly to the vicinity of the king's tent. In his opinion, this was clearly a suicide mission.
Qi Zhan quickly calmed down. He paced back and forth for a while, then said with a sullen face, "Dispatch five thousand elite soldiers to accompany me tonight!"
The early morning in the north is chilly. In the distance, snow-capped mountains are piled high with white snow. As the color of the morning glow changes from dark to light, you can feel the dreamlike feeling of the sun shining on the golden mountains.
Standing in front of the window on the second floor of the inn, Shen Huaixu read the note Fu Yin left for him. It only had six words on it - 'Have a safe journey, don't worry.'
Looking up at the snow-capped mountains in the distance again, Shen Huaixu took a deep breath and responded to Xiaoman's call.
Turning around and opening the door, she asked, "Is everything packed?"
"Everything is packed, young lady. It was too late last night, so I didn't tell you. There was a carrier pigeon from Huaizhou, saying that Yinghua and the other two had been attacked. The plan of someone pretending to be you and going to Jiangnan has been exposed."
After calculating the time, Meng Jue should not have received the news yet. Chen Huaixu waved his hand and said, "It doesn't matter. Anyway, this trip to the Northern Territory will eventually be exposed. It will be exposed sooner or later. Are Yinghua and the others injured?"
"Huan'er, the maid pretending to be you, has a minor arm injury. The letter says it's nothing serious. There's another thing going on right now. For some reason, there are soldiers from the military camp checking on passersby at the gate of Youzhou City, as if they're looking for someone."
At this point, Xiaoman paused, stepped forward into the house and closed the door, "And last night someone led thousands of elite soldiers out of the city."
Chen Huaixu thought about it and felt that what she did yesterday should not be enough to alarm thousands of elite soldiers to take action. The martial law at the city gate should be in response to her actions last night.
When she decided to enter Meng Jue's military tent, she had already thought about the possibility of being exposed later, so she did not use the invisibility cloak to conceal her figure.
After all, Meng Jue was drunk, not stupid, so it was impossible for him not to notice the strangeness of the invisibility cloak.
After a moment's thought, Shen Huaixu came up with an idea. He looked at Xiaoman and said with a smile, "Xiaoman, how about you, Shuangjiang, and Lixia cooperate with me to perform a play?"
Xiaoman was a little frightened by her young lady's smile.
"Wh-what play?"
Chen Huaixu hooked his finger and smiled like a cunning fox.
Half an hour later, Shen Huaixu was sitting in a carriage wrapped in thick fox fur, his thin eyebrows slightly furrowed. His originally rosy little face turned pale, and his plump lips lost their former luster and became dry and bloodless.
She held a handkerchief in her hand and coughed from time to time, looking very sick.
"Routine inspection!" The soldier stopped the carriage in front of him with a stern face. "Who is in the carriage?"
Xiaoman immediately replied, "The person sitting in the car is my daughter. We came to the northern border to look for her."
"Ask your young lady to get off the train. We need to inspect the carriage!"
Xiaoman frowned in dissatisfaction, "My young lady is sick and can't stand the wind."
The soldier was very rude and repeated, "Stop talking nonsense and get out of the car!"
As he spoke, he kicked the body of the carriage.
Frost was irritated by his attitude and wanted to step forward with a cold face, but was stopped by a weak voice.
"Master, please don't be angry. I'll go down right now. Ahem... "
Chen Huaixu stuck his head out of the carriage, held Shuangjiang's hand and slowly walked down from the carriage.
When the onlookers saw her face clearly, they all gasped. Such a weak and delicate girl was totally out of place in the North.
Looking at the frail young lady and then at the ferocious soldiers, some people grumbled in dissatisfaction, "What bad things can a young lady like this do? She's using chicken feathers as a token of authority!"
"That is to say, it's a bit too inhumane..."
The soldier didn't care at all. While letting people into the carriage for inspection, he looked at Shen Huaixu's figure.
At this time, a cold wind blew, and Shen Huaixu trembled. She leaned on Shuangjiang's shoulder, hunched over and started coughing. After coughing for a long time, her eyes were covered with a layer of mist. When the snow-white handkerchief moved away from her lips, a glaring red appeared.
"Miss—Miss! You're coughing up blood!" Xiaoman was shocked and sad. She held the handkerchief in her hand and stared hard, but no tears came out. She could only say anxiously: "What should I do? It's all Fu Yin Fu Gongzi's fault. If it weren't for him, why would you run to such a bitter cold place? You got sick because of this and didn't even get to see his face!"
Hearing the familiar name, the soldier relaxed slightly and asked, "Who is Fu Yin to you?"
"Master Fu is my young lady's fiancé. Our parents have been betrothed to each other since they were young, and they were just waiting to get married and bring their families together. Who would have thought that Master Fu always had the ambition to serve his country and came to the Northern Territory alone? My young lady didn't want him to have any regrets, so she came to the Northern Territory in person to tell him that she would wait for him to return home. However, they only met briefly, and before we could even exchange a word, we could never find him again."
As Xiaoman spoke, she also wiped the corners of her tearless eyes with a handkerchief.
Seeing how distressed the master and servant were, the soldier waved his hands and said, "Alright, alright. Master Fu does have important matters to attend to. It's just that you came at an inopportune time, young lady. Please register and leave immediately!"
Chen Huaixu was still coughing softly with his hands covering his lips. He looked weak and powerless, and looked extremely pitiful.
Frost carefully helped the person into the carriage, and when the white color completely disappeared, she let out a sigh of relief.
Xiaoman quickly responded, "Thank you, big brother. My young lady's illness can't wait any longer. If it weren't for this, I wouldn't have dared to offend you just now. Please bear with me!"
"Alright, alright, let's get out of here!"
The soldier waved his hands impatiently.
Watching the carriage drive away, the soldier's companion said, "Have you seen Master Fuyinfu? He's over eight feet tall, and how come his fiancée looks so small, only a little over six feet? They don't seem like a good match!"
Six feet...more?
The soldier's brows furrowed more and more, and he seemed to be about the same size as the person they were looking for...
This thought flashed through his mind, and he remembered something again. He shook his head in self-denial. No, with this physique, how could he possibly have the ability to break into the military camp?
At this moment, several soldiers in armor came riding up on horseback. The soldier hurriedly asked, "Have you caught the man?"
"Are there a master, two servants and a few guards driving a carriage out of the city?" The visitor described the appearance of the master and servant.
The more the soldier listened, the more he felt that there was some difference between his master and the weak young lady just now, but the two maids were very similar.
Swallowing his saliva, the soldier said: "They just left the city-"
The soldiers on horseback looked at each other and rode their horses to chase out of the city.
