Quick Travel: Dream Hunt

After hearing the news, Ting He, who was coaxing the children to sleep in the palace, was even more anxious. After carefully asking about all the ins and outs, Ting He sent the messenger away and sat on the bed in a daze for a long time. Then he rubbed out a space ring, took out some things from it, took out the few remaining pills, put them in his palm and looked at them for a long time, then closed his eyes and called out:

"Little fairy, something happened to Yu Linyuan, come back quickly."

At this time, the little fairy who was lingering in various scenic spots and historical sites pouted and muttered unhappily:

"What bad luck! It's only been a few years and Gou Tinghe has summoned me. Useless thing, almost the same as that Gou Laoliu. It seems that they can't live without me, the little fairy. Humph, they are so useless. They still have to rely on me, the little fairy. Come out quickly, kid, let's go back. Your careless host is urging us again."

……

After a long time, the little fairy returned to Tinghe's Kunning Palace. After hearing her story, the little fairy said that she could not fly anymore and did not want to go looking for Yu Linyuan. If Tinghe wanted to go, she could go by herself, and she would copy a few bottles of elixir for her to use.

Ting He thought for a long time and nodded in agreement, but she asked the fairy to agree to one of her requests. Because her soul was broken, her body looked intact, but it was broken inside. She was afraid that even if she teleported, she could not get back. She could only go quickly, find Yu Linyuan and then come back slowly.

The little fairy nodded in agreement. She looked at the soft and cute little bun that was already five years old, and her heart felt soft for no reason. She quickly circled around the two buns' heads, chirping happily, completely forgetting about her cubs.

Ting He summoned two secret guards and told them that she was going to the border to find Yu Linyuan, asking them to secretly protect the two children. She also secretly met with several ministers that Yu Linyuan trusted most and told them about the regent. After handing over all matters to Yu Linyuan's eunuch chief, she changed her clothes and secretly left the palace. After getting rid of the secret guards, she endured the pain of her soul being torn apart and teleported back and forth quickly several times before she barely arrived at the border.

After arriving at the border, Ting He did not rashly go to the military camp to find his old subordinates to inquire about the news. Instead, he disguised himself as a man and wandered around the border town of the enemy country, gathering information everywhere.

It was not until several days later that she found out a piece of news that made her uneasy from some insignificant information. It said that the Saint of the Western Region accidentally rescued a seriously injured and dying man. It was rumored that the man was handsome and had an imposing manner. The Saint of the Western Region was fascinated by him at the first sight and brought him back to the Saint's Palace of the Western Region regardless of everything.

After inquiring, Ting He learned that the Western Region was divided into two factions, one was the peace faction that supported the old emperor, and the other was the war faction led by Princess Mu Ruiji, who was mainly responsible for the religious forces in the Western Region. The saint Mu Ruirui was the daughter of Princess Mu Ruiji. It was rumored that the old emperor's favorite princess was not Mu Ruiji but her sister Mu Ruilan. However, no one knew what happened in the middle, which eventually resulted in the position of the saint being inherited by Mu Ruiji, while Mu Ruilan disappeared out of thin air.

After Ting He found out the news, her heart told her 100% that the man brought back by the saint must be Yu Linyuan, or he must be related to Yu Linyuan. Mu Ruiji, Mu Ruilan, and Mu Ruirui had nothing to do with her.

As long as she confirms that the man is Yu Linyuan himself, she will definitely bring Yu Linyuan back to Chang'an and destroy this Western Region country to vent her anger.

After making up her mind, Ting He did not act rashly. She did not care about losing the invisibility talisman, but changed her identity and sneaked into the Saint's Mansion in broad daylight as a maid. In order to facilitate coming and going, she specially hired a maid who swept the floor, a job that no one else was willing to do, just to walk around in the Saint Mu Ruirui's bedroom.

As expected, without any competitive edge at all, Tinghe easily became the saint's cleaning maid. She guarded outside the bedroom for several days and nights before finally receiving good news. As soon as night fell, the saint hurriedly left the bedroom and headed towards the rockery. Tinghe hurriedly followed her, avoiding all obstacles, and quietly squeezed into the rockery behind the saint.

No one could imagine that behind this seemingly ordinary rockery, there is actually a breathtaking hidden cave! The interior space here is extremely spacious, winding and twisting as if there is no end. The interior of the rockery is cleverly carved into caves and passages of various shapes and sizes, like an intricate maze.

The cave was filled with a cold smell, mixed with damp water vapor and a faint smell of decay.

If you listen carefully, you can hear the sound of dripping water in the distance, and it seems that there is a faint humming sound throughout it.

Ting He couldn't help but think more and quickened his pace. While the saint was not paying attention, he quickly took out the Panlong Stick and knocked her unconscious, then strode forward.

Who knew that when he walked into the dark corner, he glanced around and saw two men in black guarding inside. Ting He threw stones deliberately to make noises, and when the two men were not paying attention, he hit each of them with a Panlong stick, and with two muffled groans, both of them fell to the ground.

Ting He quickly covered her face and entered the cave quietly, only to find that this was actually a dungeon-like environment. There was a person tied to the middle wooden frame of the dungeon. Ting He wondered if that person was Yu Linyuan, so she immediately stepped forward to untie the rope for him. She pulled apart his hair and found that this person was not Yu Linyuan. He looked a little familiar and a little unfamiliar, but she couldn't recognize him at first.

Seeing that person trembling motionlessly with his eyes closed, and listening to He Shanxin's attack, he quietly took out a glass of water and fed it to him. After a while, the person started to cough and opened his swollen eyes. After concentrating for a while, the person shouted in panic:

"Help, help them, you, you are General Yun? General Yun, go and save them quickly. Your Majesty was lured deep into the enemy's territory in order to protect us subordinates, and now he has been captured by that vicious woman and has been taken to who knows where."

Ting He was confused for a while before asking uncertainly: "You, you are Deputy General Zhou???"

Deputy General Zhou nodded and continued weakly:

"General, please leave quickly and don't worry about your subordinates. Ahem, saving His Majesty is the most important thing."

Ting He frowned and nodded: "I will go to save Yu Linyuan now. I will take you out first. Can you still walk?"

Deputy General Zhou nodded to indicate that he could still move.

Ting He first helped Lieutenant General Zhou up and took him out, only to see that blood was dripping from his body. Suddenly he remembered the dripping sound he heard when he first entered the cave, and realized that it was the sound of Lieutenant General Zhou's blood dripping from his body falling to the ground.
