Six days later.

These days, just as Wang Houmai guessed, Lu Xiu had just become the captain of ten thousand men and was eager to establish his prestige, so he kept making fun of him and Wang Shengan.

The other centurions, especially those who had previously had quarrels with Lucius, were not in much better condition.

After a few days, the intensity of training was increased and the troops were punished. Everyone in the South Camp complained bitterly but dared not speak out.

During this period, Liu Shengan and Wang Houmai had successfully recruited three people to join their group.

These three people stood up for Lucius when he was deliberately bullying the two brothers, even at the risk of offending him.

Liu Shengan took a fancy to a few more people, but Wang Houmai was very calm and said frankly that he would observe for a few more days and not leave any hidden dangers.

In the tent of the chief general of Jiaocheng, Mo Qiandai was now in a state of confusion, and even Deputy General Chang, who always said nice things, was silent.

Ten days had passed since Mo Yonglin set out. On the fifth day, Mo Qiandai took the risk of sending someone to pick him up, but there was still no news.

During this period, we learned that the northbound team had successfully arrived at Beiding. When entering the city, there were as many as 3,000 people in the accompanying team!

Upon hearing the news, Deputy General Chang cried out in his heart that something was wrong.

Before the Major General set out, the news reported by the spies clearly stated that there were only 300 guards accompanying him. Now the number has increased tenfold. The Major General only brought 1,000 men with him. It is simply like hitting a rock with an egg. I am afraid... it is very dangerous.

Thinking of this, Deputy General Chang couldn't help but look at Mo Qiandai's face cautiously. As a result, at this moment, Mo Qiandai suddenly raised his hand and overturned the low table in front of him.

Crackling——

The sound seemed to hit Deputy General Chang's heart, frightening him so much that he quickly knelt down.

He came here originally to report on Lucius's actions over the past few days, but how could he say anything now?

Mo Qiandai's chest heaved violently. He knew in his heart that at this moment Mo Yonglin was either dead or imprisoned in Beiding or even Wuding City.

That's his eldest son, his only son...

Mo Qiandai clenched his fists tightly. No matter how shrewd he was, he could not control his emotions at this moment.

And what about Shen Yuanbai?

If Yonglin unfortunately died or was imprisoned, where did Shen Yuanbai go?

————

The northern capital.

Shen Yuanbai dragged his injured arm all the way and finally arrived at the royal capital today.

He did not go into the palace to report to King Jin Yu, but disguised himself and skillfully made his way through the streets of the royal capital, finally arriving at the gate of an elegant courtyard in a deep alley.

Shen Yuanbai raised his arm and knocked on the gate. It was quiet inside until Shen Yuanbai coughed lightly. The gate suddenly opened from the inside, revealing a charming woman's face.

"Young Master!"

It was Yinzhu who opened the door.

She was extremely cautious and didn't say a word. She first looked around and then quickly invited Shen Yuanbai in.

After entering the house, Yinzhu looked worried and said anxiously, "Master, you haven't sent any news for a long time."

Shen Yuanbai waved his hand and asked, "Yinzhu, you were so careful just now, is it possible?"

Yinzhu stood opposite Shen Yuanbai and nodded solemnly when he heard this.

"Sir, just as you expected, that beast must have suspected you. Not long after you left for Jiaocheng, he sent Wu Geng, who was beside him, to look for me personally."

"Fortunately, you were so smart that you asked me to move to another place early. Wu Geng came up empty-handed and had to search several streets and alleys before he gave up."

"Sir, please don't go back to the royal court. It's a den of tigers and snakes. The dogs are very cunning and may be waiting for you!"

Speaking of the Northern Kingdom, even Yinzhu, who had experienced many hardships, had an indelible look of fear on her face, which showed that she had left a very terrifying shadow back then.

Shen Yuanbai raised his head when he heard this, and suddenly said in a deep voice with deep emotion:

"Yinzhu, mother's long-cherished wish will soon come true..."

Upon hearing this, Yinzhu's whole body trembled violently, and then a look of ecstasy appeared on his face.

"Really? Sir, is this true?"

Shen Yuanbai looked at the silver beads in front of him, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise slightly, and a real smile finally appeared on his face.

"Yeah." He replied softly.

Yinzhu clenched her hands. She wanted to cheer out loud, but tears rolled down her cheeks in an instant.

She quickly raised her hands to cover her face and turned her back.

She didn't want to lose her composure in front of the young master, as it would be extremely disrespectful to him, but she was too happy, too excited, and too sad.

Only she...only she knew clearly what kind of inhuman treatment the princess had experienced. Those two beasts not only bullied the princess, they also had disgusting habits!

Beneath her noble appearance with gorgeous clothes, the princess was covered with scars, and sometimes she was in so much pain that she couldn't sleep for whole nights.

Whenever this happened, she would be on duty because she knew the situation. The princess would hold her hand tightly and cry out in pain. Even if she fell asleep from exhaustion, she would wake up waving her hands in fear.

She was extremely heartbroken. Seeing the princess like this, she felt so heartbroken that she even wanted to take the princess' place, so that the princess might be able to rest for a few days.

The princess was very smart and saw through her thoughts at a glance.

That night, the princess held her hand, tears in her eyes, and said with a smile: "Yinzhu, don't be silly, you must live a clean life. Seeing you, I will not forget my clean self in the past."

Before the princess committed suicide, she actually volunteered to go to Nanli.

She knew all of the princess's plans, and Nanli was the young master's escape route.

The princess had supported her back then, and now she was willing to sacrifice everything to pave the way for the princess and the young master.

She knew that her advantage was her appearance and figure. When she arrived in Nanli, if she wanted to take root as quickly as possible and become part of the royal family, she could only use her beauty to please men.

At that time, the princess was almost exhausted. After seeing her determination, she took her hand and said "I'm sorry" to her, a servant who treated her so lowly.

How could she bear it? Her life was saved by the princess. Even if she was asked to die for the princess, she would not hesitate at all!

Now...now the princess's last wish is finally going to come true!

The princess didn't care about her reputation after death. When she learned of the princess's plan, she hesitated. She was worried that others would mock and insult the princess after knowing the truth.

But the princess just smiled faintly, took her hand and said: "Yinzhu, this broken and broken body is no longer worthy of any good name, and what is the use of those false names?"

"Even if I am cursed and ridiculed after my death, as long as those two beasts are disgraced, as long as they can watch the dynasty fall with their own eyes, and then suffer torture and die a miserable death, I will die without regrets..."

When Yinzhu thought of this, even though her tears were still flowing, a sincere smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

That’s great. That’s great.

Princess, just watch and see how that beast dies a horrible death!
