After returning from Lord Cheng's house, Jiang Yue immediately went home. After sending Mr. Huang and the other six away, she immediately asked Mrs. Dong to pack her luggage and take Mr. Cheng and his family to quietly move into Lord Cheng's house.

Time is running out and we must act quickly.

In order to move into the Cheng family more smoothly, all the servants of the Cheng family were dismissed, leaving only the personal maidservant around Mrs. Cheng and the old housekeeper in the mansion. In this way, unnecessary troubles and ears can be avoided.

Leaving Mrs. Dong and Boss Cheng's family at Cheng's house, Jiang Yue immediately followed Lord Cheng to the military camp. She needed to understand the situation in the camp as soon as possible.

Cheng was originally a civil servant, and now he was assigned to the military camp as a military supervisor. It was not difficult for him to find a few sets of soldiers' clothes from the military camp, and prepare a carriage to load luggage and food.

Lord Cheng looked at the busy Jiang Yue and couldn't help wondering: Is this hero planning to leave Beijing with the help of the army? But he didn't ask, just watched silently.

Jiang Yue naturally noticed Lord Cheng's gaze, but did not respond to his question.

He continued to instruct Master Cheng: "Just act as you normally would. Just handle the affairs of the camp according to the established rules. Just pretend that I don't exist."

Lord Cheng nodded repeatedly to show his agreement, but he was secretly complaining in his heart.

The camp is busy and tense right now, and is about to face a storm. Who has the time to care about his life or death?

What's more, his life is in Jiang Yue's hands, and exposing her secrets would undoubtedly be digging his own grave.

So, he simply gave up the last bit of struggle in his heart and told Jiang Yue about the situation in the army.

After all, he was the one who brought the person into the camp. If something really happened, his superiors would definitely hold him accountable first.

In the Cheng family's house, Mr. Huang searched the entire yard and rooms but couldn't find Jiang Yue.

Zhai Qingya rushed to Cheng's house, but before he even entered the house, he was driven away by Huang Lao and his men. "Miss Jiang is gone. She's not at home. Hurry up and leave!"

Zhai Qingya was in a daze and accidentally stumbled, feeling extremely disappointed.

In Zhai Qingya's opinion, Jiang Yue left so decisively without even saying goodbye, so they really couldn't even be friends anymore.

But he was unwilling to give up. No, considering the current situation, Jiang Yue could not have left the capital and must have hidden somewhere else.

Just to avoid him?

"Get out of my way, let me go in and look for it."

"That's wishful thinking. If you dare to go further, don't blame us for breaking your legs."

The two sides quarreled for a long time, and finally after Zhai Qingya called the police, Huang Lao and his companions had to leave, and they began to look for Jiang Yue everywhere.

Two days later, the south gate of the capital was unprecedentedly bustling, as a large number of soldiers and civilians gathered here. These soldiers were private soldiers put together by various noble families, and now they have been unified under the command of General Jin, and they are lined up in a long team and are leaving the city in an orderly manner.

The suburbs outside the city is where they will have a decisive battle with Prince Chun.

In this long team, there is one that stands out.

That was the group of Jiang Yue and his group after they changed their clothes and disguised themselves. They walked silently at the end of the team, waiting for the opportunity. Once they were out of the city, they would look for a chance to escape.

Lord Cheng was riding a maroon horse and wearing heavy armor, but his expression was very complicated and he seemed a little anxious.

He muttered to himself that he was just following Jiang Yue's instructions and waiting for her to give the next order before taking action. However, half a day had passed and they were already several miles away from the capital, but why hadn't they received any instructions?

It was not until he was about to reach the garrison camp and he rode past Jiang Yue again that he finally received Jiang Yue's instructions.

Lord Cheng squeezed his horse's belly hard, rode quickly to the front of the army, and shouted loudly: "General Jin, General Jin, I have an emergency to report to you!"

When Lord Cheng rode up to General Jin, he immediately walked side by side with General Jin and said in a low voice:

"I discovered that there seemed to be someone following us secretly, and their behavior was quite suspicious. I suspected that they might have ill intentions, so I came to ask the general for instructions, hoping to lead a team to arrest these people."

As he spoke, Lord Cheng stared at the road beneath his feet guiltily, not daring to look General Jin in the eye.

After hearing this, General Jin was slightly stunned, but he quickly regained his composure.

He turned his head and nodded to Master Cheng, agreeing to Master Cheng's request: "In that case, Master Cheng, please make the trip and make sure to catch those who are trying to commit crimes and interrogate them thoroughly."

Lord Cheng secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He had been worried that he would be questioned and doubted by General Jin, but now it seemed that things were going unusually smoothly. General Jin actually believed his words so easily.

However, what Lord Cheng did not know was that just after he left, General Jin quickly called over a group of his trusted troops and ordered them to follow Lord Cheng from a distance.

Lord Cheng walked to the end of the team and glanced in the direction of Jiang Yue. He told Jiang Yue to ask a few people to follow him. Jiang Yue glanced at the disguised Cheng Boss and his men, shook his head at Lord Cheng, and then pointed to the team next to him, meaning that Lord Cheng should find other soldiers.

Lord Cheng was very puzzled, but he still gave an order to Jiang Yue, picked out ten soldiers, and said, "Follow me to search the forest over there, and arrest any suspicious people immediately."

Led by Lord Cheng, ten soldiers were wandering around in the forest. General Jin's trusted team followed them quietly and soon disappeared into the forest.

At this moment, Prince Chun's soldiers swept towards them like a surging tide.

“Swish, swish, swish—”

A sharp sound of breaking through the air was heard, and dense arrows fell from the sky like raindrops, weaving into an impenetrable net, leaving people nowhere to escape.

General Jin did not choose to meet the enemy head-on. Instead, he decisively ordered his soldiers to find cover on the spot to avoid the dense rain of arrows.

After a wave of arrows, there was a brief calm on the battlefield. General Jin seized the opportunity and led his soldiers to charge forward bravely.

In an instant, the two armies converged like two surging tides, and the collision of weapons made fierce sounds and sparks flew.

The two sides were equally strong and it was difficult to tell who would win for a while, and the smell of blood quickly filled the air.

However, just as the two sides were fighting fiercely, Prince Chun's side shot flaming arrows from the rear of the team.

These burning arrows instantly ignited a sea of ​​fire in the middle and rear of General Jin, forming an insurmountable wall of fire.

Most of the soldiers were trapped in the sea of ​​fire and unable to retreat.

The fire was fierce and the flames shot up into the sky. Their figures were exposed in the bright light.

In astonishment and fear, arrows mercilessly pierced their bodies and their lives were devoured by the raging fire.

The soldiers at the rear were also blocked by the sea of ​​fire and were unable to pass through for a while, and the scene fell into chaos.

This sudden change was beyond Jiang Yue's expectations, but this was definitely the best time to escape from the army.

Jiang Yue and Boss Cheng immediately turned their horses around, avoided the young general who was ordered to follow Lord Cheng, and fled into the mountains and forests.

The flames of war burned mercilessly.
