He Jiuniang was stunned for a moment. She thought she had disguised herself very well, but she didn't expect her son to see through her disguise so easily.
Not wanting her son to worry, she said, "No, how could that be? Don't think nonsense. I just went to Jinzhou to treat a rich man, and then I came back with Father."
Gou'er clearly didn't believe it, but seeing that his mother was unwilling to say more, he pursed his lips and didn't ask any more questions. He simply said, "Mother, you must take good care of yourself and come back with Father."
He really wanted to go with them, because only by going there would he know if his father was really in trouble. But he knew he was too young, and even if he went, he would only be a burden to his mother. It would be better for everyone if he didn't go.
He Jiuniang was somewhat surprised, not expecting him to be so easy to talk to, and her feelings were still a bit complicated.
"Then you should go and write a letter to your father."
She rubbed her son's head and urged him on, but Gou'er shook his head and said, "Since Mother wants to find Father, then I won't write a letter. I just want Father to come back alive."
He thought, if something happened to his father, he probably wouldn't even read the letter.
He Jiuniang knew that her son must have guessed something, but he deliberately didn't ask any more questions so as not to worry her.
How can such a young child be so meticulous?
She felt a pang of heartache and was about to say something when Gou'er rushed into her arms, suppressing a sob as he said, "Mother, you and Father must take good care of yourselves. I'll stay home and wait for you."
There are many things that he, as a child, cannot change or participate in. His current non-participation is the greatest help he can give to his parents.
He knew that his mother's trip to Jinzhou was fraught with danger, but he couldn't stop her from going, because if he did, his father might really die.
He Jiuniang was deeply moved and said, "Don't worry, it will definitely be as you wish!"
As she spoke, He Jiuniang kissed his chubby little face and then said, "Go eat quickly, Mommy will pack my things and leave."
The dog was a little reluctant, but it still nodded obediently and went out.
He Jiuniang had everything in her space, so she didn't need to pack too much. She just put all the bottles and jars into her space, then instructed the maids to take good care of the children, and then went to the courtyard to say goodbye to them.
Apart from Gou'er, none of the other children noticed anything wrong with He Jiuniang. When they heard that He Jiuniang was going to Jinzhou, they happily said, "Auntie, please go ahead. We'll be very good at home and take good care of Gou'er!"
He Jiuniang said, "I know you are all good children. When your aunt comes back from Jinzhou, I will bring you gifts!"
"good!"
The children were even happier, while the dog stood aside, his smile somewhat forced.
Seeing him like this, He Jiuniang felt a sharp pain in her heart, as if she were being pricked by needles, but she hardened her heart and ignored him, turning around and leaving.
At the entrance, Xu Dashan was already waiting for her with a fast horse.
As soon as she stepped out, He Jiuniang sensed someone following her, but the other party seemed harmless. She figured it was probably the person who had just delivered the message who was protecting her. After thinking for a moment, she decided to deliberately choose a mountain path to shake them off.
She was incredibly fast; the two people behind her didn't even have time to react before she darted off and hurriedly followed.
But He Jiuniang was too fast. They damaged their horses and could only see her back in the distance. She disappeared in an instant after turning a corner.
"My goodness, is your sister-in-law really that amazing?"
"Yeah, now that we've lost them, what are we going to do?"
"What can we do? We have to go find her right away. If something happens to my sister-in-law, how are we going to explain it to the boss?"
"Yes, yes, let's go!"
What they didn't know was that He Jiuniang had already taken a different path, completely leaving them behind.
By this time it was already getting dark, and He Jiuniang spurred her horse on, trying to go to places with fewer people.
The main reason was that she knew it wouldn't be fast enough to run on horseback, so she had to use the high-tech weapons in her space.
As night fell, she reined in her horse, stored it in her spatial storage, and then, after confirming that no one was around, took out a silenced helicopter from her storage space.
She originally wanted to drive, but the roads were really difficult to navigate these days, and cars weren't as fast as helicopters. Saving lives was the priority, and she didn't care about anything else.
I boarded the helicopter smoothly, familiarized myself with each component, and took off immediately.
She silently thought to herself: Lu Baichuan, I'm coming for you!
The journey would take three or four days by horse, but only a short time by plane. Although she had never been to Jinzhou, she knew the general direction; as long as she didn't go astray, it would be fine.
After flying for about an hour and a half, we saw the tall city gate.
This city gate is more magnificent than anywhere else; it must be the capital.
He Jiuniang deliberately stopped in a mountain stream outside the city, put the helicopter back into her spatial storage, took out the horse, and rode into the city.
At this time, the city gates were already locked, and ordinary people could not enter the city. When they saw a fast horse coming, the soldiers guarding the city were all on high alert and were about to stop it when they saw that the person was a woman with an exceptionally beautiful appearance. They were instantly captivated.
"Young lady, the city gates are locked; you can't enter."
When faced with a beautiful woman, the soldiers guarding the city spoke much more gently.
He Jiuniang didn't waste her breath arguing with them. She directly took out the token that Lu Baichuan had given her earlier and said, "Can I get in with this?"
The city guards took the golden token and saw the three large characters "Fire Cloud Division" on it.
As everyone knows, the Fire Cloud Division is a force under Prince Chen, and those who can enter are the best of the best.
Such a beautiful girl, she's actually from the Fire Cloud Division!
"You can come in, miss!"
The soldiers guarding the city made way for them, then shouted, "Open the city gates!"
The heavy door slowly opened, revealing only a crack large enough for one person and one horse to pass through. He Jiu Niang couldn't wait to go inside.
Seeing her like this, the soldiers guarding the city thought that she must have something important to discuss with Prince Chen.
What could it be? I'm really curious.
He Jiuniang ignored the gossipy nature of the soldiers guarding the city and went straight into the city.
Others might not be able to find Lu Baichuan, but she wouldn't, because Lu Baichuan carried all those bottles and jars of hers. Those things were all made by her personally, and once they were opened and used, they couldn't escape her nose.
So she went straight to the entrance of the Lin residence.
It rained last night, which masked most of the smell, but she was still certain that Lu Baichuan had used drugs at the Lin residence, and then... he escaped.
He left in the direction of...
He Jiuniang closed her eyes and carefully sensed the surroundings. After a while, she opened her eyes and rode her horse towards the east of the city.
The flavors grew increasingly subtle yet intense, and her heart began to race uncontrollably. He must be nearby.
She dismounted and led the horse alone through the empty street.
