When Xiao Huzi heard her say this, he breathed a sigh of relief, his eyes sparkling with hope, and he quickly replied: "Sister, I have already reported it to the prince. I came from the prince's side, and the prince said that I will listen to you on this matter."

In this case, Zhu Yu readily agreed: "Okay, then you can stay. You don't have to serve me, just eat well, take good care of yourself, and try to let your mother see you healthy and strong when you go home."

Hearing this, Xiao Huzi almost jumped up with joy. He immediately knelt on the ground, ready to kowtow to Zhu Yu to express his gratitude. Zhu Yu quickly dodged and signaled Zhang Ling to help Xiao Huzi up. Zhu Yu felt that she really couldn't bear such courtesy from Xiao Huzi, after all, Xiao Huzi was a little hero who had fought bravely on the battlefield and defended the country. Heroes are worthy of respect no matter what era, and she was just giving him a ride, which was really unworthy.

"Stop kneeling here and there. Look how tired you are. Zhang Ling, take him downstairs to eat something and then arrange a place for him to stay." Zhu Yu ordered.

Inside Prince Jing’s tent.

Prince Jing sat upright in the first seat, his face frighteningly gloomy. His eyes were fixed on the secret guards kneeling below him. He asked in a cold tone: "I asked you to check the whereabouts of Liu Yinyin, but did you get any results?" Why didn't he realize that Liu Yinyin was so troublesome before? It was so annoying.

The secret guard did not dare to look up, but bowed his head and clasped his fists and replied respectfully: "Your Highness, I have already found out that Miss Liu was last seen in Qinghe Town, but she disappeared mysteriously that night."

Qinghe Town is located on the only way back to Beijing. Although it is small, it is quite prosperous and lively. However, due to its special geographical location and its proximity to the enemy-occupied area, the situation is relatively complex and sensitive.

The secret guard had some ominous premonitions about Liu Yinyin's disappearance, but out of adherence to his duties and loyalty to Prince Jing, he did not reveal these personal emotions, but truthfully reported the actual situation he had learned.

Prince Jing frowned, his eyes became more fierce, as if he had anticipated what might happen next. He knew the danger of Qinghe Town, and he couldn't help but feel a strong sense of irritation. But he still had a calm look on his face and continued to ask the secret guard: "Are there any other clues?"

The secret guard hesitated for a moment, then replied, "No other obvious clues have been found so far. However, according to local people, they saw a strange woman talking to Miss Liu and then leaving together. In addition, some suspicious people have appeared in the town, but their specific identities are still unknown."

Prince Jing pondered for a moment, analyzing various possibilities in his mind. He knew that he could not easily draw conclusions in this situation, and he had to conduct further investigations to find the truth. So he waved his hand to signal the secret guards to stand up, and issued an order: "Send more people to secretly search Qinghe Town and its surrounding areas, and make sure to find Liu Yinyin's whereabouts as soon as possible! Once there is any news, report it to the prince immediately. At the same time, closely monitor the enemy's movements to prevent them from playing any tricks. If anyone dares to stop or conceal the truth... kill them without mercy!"

The secret guard took the order and left, muttering to himself, the prince has been so attentive to Miss Zhu recently, anyone can see what the prince is thinking, but why is he so concerned about a woman like Liu Yinyin? It's really hard to predict what he is thinking.

Liu Yinyin, as mentioned by Prince Jing and the secret guard, was tied up and thrown into a small broken tent in the enemy camp with the female guard. The female guard was speechless when she saw Liu Yinyin crying all the time. This sister had to believe what a strange woman said, saying that someone nearby was injured and needed help, so she took her with her and went with her. As a result, when they arrived at the place, well, there was no one injured, but more than a dozen burly men, all of whom were martial artists! The female guard was so angry, what was going on!

Although she was very dissatisfied, the female guard always protected Liu Yinyin behind her during the fight. She used her body to block the attacks of the strong men again and again. Although her body was covered with wounds, she did not flinch. Finally, the female guard's physical strength gradually ran out, and her movements became slow. A strong man took advantage of her unpreparedness and punched her to the ground. The female guard fell to the ground with a trace of blood flowing from the corner of her mouth. She looked at the approaching strong man, and a glimmer of hope rose in her heart, hoping that the strong man would just give her a painful blow. Since she followed Liu Yinyin, she was either beaten by others or beaten by Liu Yinyin. It was enough. As soon as she relaxed, she fainted.

When she woke up again, she found herself in a small shabby tent. By observing the surroundings, she deduced that she should be in the enemy camp. If Liu Yinyin's crying could be quieter, or if she didn't cry, she should be able to hear more of the situation outside.

The troublemaker Liu Yinyin was unharmed, but she was covered in wounds. Her broken arm had not been reattached yet, and she was still being pressed down. The pain made her sweat coldly, but she did not cry. Instead, Liu Yinyin cried so hard that she could not make a sound, as if she had suffered a great injustice. If crying could solve problems, how could there be so many unjustly dead souls in the world?

The female guard was speechless and could not describe her feelings at all. Why did she have to be loyal to such a fool for the rest of her life after receiving such a great favor from the Liu family? Otherwise, she could thank the Liu family with her death, which would be a relief. At this moment, a heavy sound of footsteps suddenly came from outside the tent, and the female guard became alert. She widened her eyes, locked the entrance of the tent tightly, and prayed in her heart that no danger would come. Unfortunately, the opposite happened. A group of ferocious and vicious enemy soldiers stepped into the tent, holding their weapons tightly in their hands, with extremely cold eyes. The female guard's heart sank to the bottom of the valley in an instant...

The enemy soldier in the lead used his wanton and greedy eyes to wander back and forth between Liu Yinyin and the female guard like a hungry wolf, and a lewd smile gradually appeared on the corner of his mouth. "I really didn't expect that I could catch two such beautiful women this time! Tsk tsk tsk tsk... They look really iconic!" He said these unbearable words while slowly approaching the two of them. The female guard's heart suddenly surged with a deep despair. She knew very well what was going to happen, but she gritted her teeth tightly, endured desperately, and refused to let herself make even the slightest sound.

However, at this critical moment, Liu Yinyin, who had been crying, suddenly stopped crying.

She suddenly raised her head, her eyes were as sharp as torches, and she looked fearlessly at the enemy soldiers in front of her, with a gleam of resoluteness in her eyes: "You can't treat us like this! I am Prince Jing's fiancée!"

The female guard beside her couldn't help but take a deep breath when she heard this. She thought to herself, "This... is this because she thinks she's not dying fast enough?"

However, the enemy soldiers were startled for a moment, and then burst into laughter. "Prince Jing's fiancée? Hahaha, you're so brave! Do you think we're scared? Since we've gone to so much trouble to capture you, we must have investigated your situation in advance. If it weren't for the difficulty of catching Zhu Yu, who would have captured you? Do you really think you're something special?"

Liu Yinyin's face turned pale as paper in an instant, as if all the blood in her body had been sucked out, but her eyes were extremely firm, without the slightest fear or retreat, and she responded decisively: "Every word I said is true! That Zhu Yu was just a trick used by Prince Jing to protect my safety. When my prince returns to the capital after this victory, he will definitely ask the emperor to grant us a marriage based on his great military exploits. So, if you dare to do anything wrong to us, Prince Jing will never let you go easily!"

After hearing this, the enemy soldiers looked at each other with hesitation. After all, some of them had personally experienced the siege and witnessed the bravery and valor of Prince Jing. However, despite this, they still had doubts about whether this threat was truly credible.
