Gu Yunru glanced at him out of the corner of her eye and then looked away.

The next morning, at dawn, the team set out. Rong Zhen asked everyone to rest for a while, and he walked into the camp where Kedar had set up.

Kedar and his men were eating mutton and drinking wine when they saw a stern-faced man walk in through the door and slowly put down their knives.

"Your Highness." Kedar suddenly sneered and asked everyone to retreat first. Rong Zhen stood in front of him without saying a word. The intimidating aura emanating from his body was enough to make everyone's scalp tingle.

"I wonder what His Royal Highness Prince Zhao is doing in my humble abode?"

Kedar narrowed his eyes, looked at the cold murderous look in his eyes, and lowered his head feeling a little uncomfortable.

"Did you lead someone to snatch my people away?"

Rong Zhen spoke directly to him without beating around the bush.

"What do you mean? Who is the person who robbed you?" Kedar looked at him in confusion. Could this guy be here to deliberately provoke him?

Rong Zhen's eyes showed deepness, and then he scanned the whole environment, rushed in directly, and checked every door. "Stop right there, this is my territory. You can't come and go as you please!"

Kedar stood up angrily and wanted to stop him, but he didn't expect that he was very fast and quickly explored every room.

"How is it? Is there the person you said you were looking for?" Kedar stood beside him with a cold expression.

"How could this happen?" Rong Zhen asked a lot of people nearby. Only Kedar's people were the most talented and had the best kung fu. What was the origin of that group of people?

"Brother, you won't encounter any difficulties, right?" Kedar saw the sadness in his eyes at a glance. He must have lost some important person, or encountered a group of bandits on the way.

Rong Zhen said in a serious tone, "Indeed, someone is missing. I would like to ask you to help me find him."

"Hahaha. If you didn't say it earlier, then does our previous agreement still count?" Kedar has been scheming to replace the old king. If Rong Zhen can invent something to help him, then he will be getting closer and closer to this path.

No one else knew about the secret deal between him and the King of Bianxi. He returned to Beijing smoothly this time, but kept it a secret from some people. Kedar still naively thought that the two of them could secretly join forces. Thinking of this, Rong Zhen's eyes turned slightly. It would be better to take advantage of the situation and let Kedar find his people first.

"No problem. As long as you help me find someone, I will go back and transfer some troops to you."

Hearing that he finally agreed, Kedar laughed loudly, patted his chest, and looked a little overwhelmed with joy. He enthusiastically put his arm around his shoulders, sat by the fire and ate mutton, poured him large bowls of fine wine, and said enthusiastically: "With your words, I can finally sleep well, brother!"

The smile on Rong Zhen's face was very stiff, and his brows twitched slightly. At this time, he heard footsteps outside, and saw two followers escorting a woman in.

It was a soldier under Kedar. He bowed to him and said, "Brother, we found this sneaky woman outside the camp. She is not a good person at first glance."

Rong Zhen looked in the direction of the woman's face and saw that it was Gu Yunru. How could she be here?

Gu Yunru lowered her head with an awkward look on her face, wishing she could find a place to hide, but she was caught on the spot. Kedar looked at the beautiful woman, who had a charming and graceful look. He immediately walked towards her with a beaming smile, rubbed his palms and said, "Not bad, I didn't expect that I, Kedar, had such charm to attract a beautiful woman!"

At just one glance, Kedar was deeply attracted to Gu Yunru. As expected, this woman from the Central Plains was so beautiful that he wanted to swallow her into his stomach in one gulp.

Gu Yunru looked at his hand that was about to touch her body impatiently, and glared at him with almond eyes fiercely and said, "Take your dirty hands away, stay away from me."

Rong Zhen couldn't bear to watch this, so he coughed lightly, stood up and said, "Brother Daer, this is my maid looking for me."

The word "maid" blurted out, and Gu Yunru opened her eyes wide. How could Rong Zhen lie with his eyes open?

Hearing this, Kedar rubbed his chin thoughtfully, walked to Rong Zhen with a smile and said, "I didn't expect that a little maidservant by the prince's side could be so beautiful. Can the prince give her to me?"

The moment he saw Gu Yunru for the first time, Kedar felt that he had fallen in love. He had never felt so infatuated with a woman before. Moreover, this girl seemed to have a hot temper and a strong personality, so he just wanted to keep someone like her by his side.

"If Brother Dar likes her, I will select a woman with better qualifications than her when we arrive in the Central Plains. A beauty like her is not even worthy of carrying my shoes in the palace."

Rong Zhen finished this sentence in a casual tone, with a unique look of coldness and arrogance, as if he said it specifically for Gu Yunru to hear. Gu Yunru was held by the arms by two people next to her, otherwise she would have rushed up and scratched his face. He actually said that she was not even worthy of carrying his shoes!

"Hey, let me go!" Gu Yunru grinned at the two people beside him, and the two people were really scared.

Gu Yunru rubbed his sore arm. The barbarians here really didn’t know how to be gentle and kind to women.

"Then it's a deal. I want two, no, I want four!" Kedar looked at Gu Yunru and then at Rong Zhen, hoping that he would keep his word.

After saying goodbye to Kedar, Rong Zhen took Gu Yunru away. The two did not say a word along the way, and Gu Yunru followed him with a resentful look on her face. "Why don't you speak?" Rong Zhen spoke first, and Gu Yunru was secretly happy in her heart. She had sworn that whoever spoke first would be a beast in the next life.

"I just don't like to talk."

Gu Yunru raised her chin with an arrogant look on her face, and then she passed him and walked in front. Rong Zhen looked at her cheerful back, shook his head helplessly, and caught up with her in two or three steps, "Why did you come to this place? Did you know it was very dangerous just now?"

"Dangerous? I think you are the dangerous one. Nothing good will happen when I'm with you." Gu Yunru muttered to himself, looking ahead with a resentful look on his face.

Sure enough, they saw a girl standing on the top of the sand dune. It was Xiao Su Li. Rong Zhen had tried every means to abandon her along the way, but he didn't expect that she still found their team.

"Little Su Li!" Gu Yunru found this little girl with a stubborn look very funny and walked towards her.

The height difference between the two people is only a few centimeters, but little Su Li is underdeveloped and there is no extra baby fat on her face.
