However, Luo Lan and Leng Yu left early today. They took Xiao Lingzi, Xiao Shuangzi, Xiao Tanzi and Xiao Ningzi with them, and ordered A Yu, A Hou and Zhang Yuan to stay in Prince Yu's Mansion and wait for news. Once there was any news, they were to notify them at any time.
At this time, all seven generals of Prince Yu's Mansion went into battle, and the affairs of the military camp were left to Liu Dechang.
Old Wu ran to Prince Yu's mansion, but the gatekeeper stopped him outside. He couldn't wait to say:
"Hurry, I want to see the prince, I have something important to say."
"The prince and princess left home early this morning. If you want to see the prince, please come back in two days."
Wait two days?
Hearing this, Old Wu was so anxious that sweat broke out on his forehead and he kept asking,
"Where are the prince and princess? I really have something important to tell the prince."
Seeing that he was impatient, the servant waved his sword impatiently.
"Is it your business to know where the prince and princess go? Go back quickly. The prince will be back in a few days."
"But……"
Old Wu stood at the gate of Prince Yu's mansion, stamping his feet anxiously. He kept pacing back and forth, not knowing what to do.
At this moment, Zhang Yuan walked out of the gate. The servant guarding the gate did not recognize Old Wu, but he did.
When he saw Old Wu not far away, he asked the servant:
"What is he doing here?"
"I don't know. He said he has something important to discuss with the prince."
Zhang Yuan frowned and walked towards Old Wu.
"Old Wu, are you here to get your punishment? Go directly to the barracks. This is Prince Yu's residence. The prince won't handle matters in the barracks here."
When Old Wu saw Zhang Yuan, he ran to him joyfully as if he had found a life-saving straw.
"General Zhang, I'm not here to get a ban. I want to see the prince. I have something very important to report to the prince."
Zhang Yuan guessed that Old Wu must be here to plead for mercy, hoping that the prince would show him a lighter sentence. What kind of a big deal was this? Compared to finding An An, this was simply not a matter worth mentioning.
So, he waved his hands impatiently.
"The prince is not here. Even if you have something important to do, you have to wait for the prince to come back. Go to the military camp to get the board first. Other matters can be discussed after the prince comes back."
"General Zhang, I will take the board. I really have something important to do right now. Tell me which direction the prince went, and I will go after them."
"You're not done yet, are you?"
Zhang Yuan saw that Old Wu was talking endlessly and glared at him impatiently.
"Old Wu, you need to know your own identity. You were expelled from the military camp. Letting you stand at the gate of Prince Yu's mansion is already a form of leniency towards you. Don't be ungrateful. Hurry and leave. I have things to do."
"But……"
Old Wu wanted to say something, but Zhang Yuan pushed him and urged him again:
"Go get your board now. It's no use begging for mercy here, Your Majesty. Military law is ruthless. Your Majesty has already shown great leniency by giving you such a light punishment. What else do you want?"
"I'm not here to plead for mercy. I want to tell His Majesty that I know the whereabouts of the Second Young Lady..."
Zhang Yuan was stunned by this. He suddenly grabbed Old Wu's collar and asked seriously, "What's the matter with you?"
"What did you say? Do you know the whereabouts of the second young lady? Where is she?"
Old Wu pointed at his collar, and Zhang Yuan quickly let go of his hand.
"Tell me quickly, where is the second young lady?"
"In Fanjiatun, at my uncle's house."
"What did you say? Your uncle's house? Old Wu, did you do this?"
Seeing Zhang Yuan's agitation, Old Wu waved his hands and explained.
"General Zhang, listen to me. This has nothing to do with me. I just found out about it by chance. Please don't accuse a good person."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Yuan grabbed his collar again and asked loudly:
"Tell me quickly, what's going on?"
Old Wu then told Zhang Yuan exactly what his uncle had said, including the fact that the man in black had given his uncle and aunt one hundred taels of silver. He did not dare to be vague about this matter.
After recounting this incident, he added,
"I've asked my uncle and aunt to go back and bring the second young lady. I was afraid that the prince would be anxious, so I came to report the news. I didn't expect them to be away."
Zhang Yuan frowned as if he had thought of something, then said to Old Wu:
"Wait for me here and go to Fanjiatun with me."
Leaving these words behind, he quickly ran towards Prince Yu's Mansion and shouted as he entered the door.
"Ayu, Ahou, come out quickly."
Now that he had news about the Second Young Lady, he no longer trusted anyone else. No matter what, he had to bring the person back to Prince Yu's Mansion safely first.
Ayu and the queen came running over from the backyard.
"Brother Zhang, what happened?"
"Quick, send a message to the prince and tell them to go to Fanjiatun. The second young lady may be there."
"There's news about the Second Miss? Is that true?"
"Don't worry about whether it's true or not. The prince said that if there's any news, we can't miss it. Let's take our men and head straight to Fanjiatun. We must not let the Second Young Miss get into trouble again."
A Yu and A Hou did not dare to delay and ordered their men to ride at full speed to chase Leng Yu and the others. The three of them took Lao Wu with them and headed straight for Fanjiatun.
Just when everyone was rushing to Fanjiatun, An An had already arrived in Yancheng. She stood in front of a bun stall, carefully took out two copper coins from her pocket, bought two buns, sat on the roadside and started eating.
Although she was very hungry and two buns were not enough to fill her up, she didn't dare eat too much. She had to spend these copper coins sparingly and estimated that they would be enough to fill her stomach within three to five days.
At this time, several women dressed up in fancy clothes saw An An. The leading woman waved to the women behind her.
