"This official road leads to Shanyang County and Muyang County. Which one do you think we should go to first?"
Wei Lingfeng took out a map and showed it to Mo Qiyuan. They were at an intersection, and the official roads on both sides led to a county town.
In order to avoid people with ulterior motives along the way, they concealed their identities and changed their names.
Mo Qiyuan stared at the map in silence.
We passed through so many states and counties along the way, why is there no clue about Yun'er and the child? This road is the fastest way to the border, so isn't this the road they took?
Thinking of this possibility, Mo Qiyuan immediately said:
"You take a team directly to Muyang County. If they don't find it, you take them to the border via a small road. I'll take Lin Qingtang to Shanyang County and then take the official road. We'll try not to miss any of the two routes."
"But sir, if this happens, you won't have enough people around you. I'm worried about your safety!"
Mo Qiyuan pursed his dry and chapped lips and said without question:
"Just do as I say. We must catch them both ways at the same time to ensure that we find Yun'er and her son as soon as possible. Go quickly!"
Wei Lingfeng looked at the emperor's tired face and hesitated for a moment, "Yes!"
Then he led a team to the left side of the fork in the road, while Mo Qiyuan and Lin Qingtang led their men to the right side of the road.
At this time
Bai Ruoli and Caiyu had already bought things and were preparing to leave the city.
The gate guards of Shanyang County received an order from the county magistrate a few days ago that important officials from the imperial court were on the run, including three women and a baby, and they must be searched strictly.
They took aside all the carriages and pedestrians with children and checked them one by one, which made Bai Ruoli and Caiyu secretly relieved.
Fortunately, she had anticipated this and did not send the carriage directly into the city, otherwise she would definitely not have been able to escape.
After Bai Ruoli and the other person sneaked out of the city, they quickly took their things back to where the carriage was parked.
As she approaches, she asks Yuji:
"She didn't do anything tricky!"
Xiong Er had selfish motives towards Ye Jinyun, so he said calmly, "No."
Bai Ruoli nodded, she was quite sensible.
So after getting on the carriage, he handed the thing in his hand to Ye Jinyun.
"Here, your son's diapers, that's enough for now, don't cut my clothes anymore."
Ye Jinyun took it and smiled at her kindly: "Thank you, Miss Bai, it should be enough for two days."
Bai Ruoli frowned when she heard that it would only take two days. Their speed was already very slow. If they still couldn't reach the border in a few days, it would be even more difficult to escape.
But there was no other way. She kidnapped them and their son to bring them back to Beirong to seek credit from the king. If she killed them directly, they would be of no use to her.
So she stopped talking and told Yudai and Yuji to hurry up and try to get out of the border before the planned date.
When Ye Jinyun saw her frown, he knew what she was thinking.
She said that on purpose. She knew they would reach the border in a few days. If she couldn't find a chance to escape, she would at least get her son out of danger first.
She has a system that allows her to survive unless she is beheaded.
But her son is not like that, so she has to find a way to keep her son in Da Qi. As long as he stays in Da Qi, Mo Qiyuan will definitely find their child.
While Ye Jinyun was racking his brains in the carriage, thinking about how to get his son out of danger safely, Mo Qiyuan and Lin Qingtang also arrived in Shanyang County with their men.
Ever since Ye Jinyun disappeared with her child, Mo Qiyuan has been sleepless for several days. He couldn't close his eyes and fall asleep at all. There was only one thought in his mind, which was to find the mother and child.
But people are not made of iron. When they rode their horses to a place not far from where Ye Jinyun and his group's carriage had just stopped, Mo Qiyuan finally couldn't hold on any longer and slid off the horse.
Fortunately, Yin Yi was quick to catch him and they all rested there.
Lin Qingtang was very anxious when he saw Mo Qiyuan almost falling off his horse. After handing the horse to Bai Lu, he stepped forward and said:
"Are you okay, sir? What happened?"
Yin Yi immediately asked the secret guard who had some medical skills in the accompanying team to come forward and take Mo Qiyuan's pulse.
"Master Lin, don't worry. I fainted from exhaustion. I'll be fine after a good rest."
"That's good, that's good. Don't let him collapse before he finds the mother and child."
After saying this, Lin Qingtang stood up and looked at a soldier behind him and said:
"Lin Hai, take a few of your men and go into the city first. Take the token and ask the Shanyang County Magistrate to arrange a carriage and a doctor to come and pick me up. Remember, never reveal your identity."
As they traveled along the way, they reported the title of the governor to the officials of each state they passed by, and the tokens they used were also the tokens of the Lin family army. Therefore, those officials only knew that an important figure from the court had come to inspect, and did not know that it was the emperor himself.
Lin Hai clasped his fists at her and said, "Yes, Miss, I will obey your orders!"
After seeing him riding away with a few others, Lin Qingtang ordered the others to rest where they were, protect Mo Qiyuan's safety, and wait for Lin Hai to bring people to pick them up.
Then he sat on the ground beside Mo Qiyuan and closed his eyes to rest.
The horses that had accompanied them on the long journey were also taken aside to graze and rest.
"Oh, you can't eat this, you stupid horse! Even a stupid donkey is not as stupid as you!"
A soldier who was riding his horse and eating grass said.
He spoke a little loudly, just waking up Lin Qingtang who had her eyes closed.
She frowned. She hadn't slept well for several days and was woken up by the sound just as she was entering into meditation.
The soldier saw that he had woken up Lin Qingtang, so he immediately stepped forward to apologize.
"Miss, I have disturbed your rest. Please punish me with a military stick."
When Lin Qingtang heard this person calling her "Miss", she knew that he was also a member of her Lin family army. Otherwise, he would call her "Master Lin".
"Well, Wuyi, what were you talking about? What happened to the horse?"
Lin Qingtang looked at him and said calmly.
When the soldier heard her ask this, he showed her what he had just snatched from the horse's mouth and said:
"These horses are starving and will eat anything, but how can they eat this thing? I stopped it."
Lin Qingtang raised his eyelids and glanced at the thing in his hand.
But just this one glance stirred up a thousand waves in her heart!
"Show it to me!"
After saying this, without waiting for the soldier to move, he stood up and snatched the thing from his hand.
Before the soldier could react, the thing in his hand had already passed into Lin Qingtang's hands. Seeing how excited she was to see this thing, the soldier's expression also became serious.
When Lin Qingtang looked at the thing in his hand, tears of excitement welled up in his eyes.
It was a poker card that had been bitten half by the horse, and the A on it was also bitten half, but Lin Qingtang recognized it. This was the poker card that the three of them usually played with.
Because the patterns and letters on it were all drawn one by one by Ye Jinyun, no one else would know about this thing except the three of them.
