Song Ruize was injured and unable to go out for inspection, so he could only handle paperwork in the military headquarters.

Qin Huiyin disguised himself as a servant and painted his skin black, making him look quite like that.

Jiang Qibin and the others were so familiar with her that they didn't recognize her when they first saw her in disguise. After all, she usually looked like a snowball, but today she looked so rough. Even if she was small, it would be difficult to connect the two appearances.

Qin Huiyin sat next to Song Ruize, reading the documents to him one by one and helping him to review them.

The Bingmasi also had many clerks to help process documents. Those that were not important were reviewed by the clerks, who reviewed them layer by layer before finally issuing them. Therefore, it was normal for the handwriting to be different.

At noon, Qin Huiyin was making soup and decocting medicine at the Bingmasi.

Song Ruize had lost too much blood and was not in a good mood. He felt a little weak. After lunch, Song Ruize rested inside.

When he woke up again, he saw that Qin Huiyin was not on the couch next to him, so he went out to look for her.

"Where is Song Yin?" Song Ruize asked the soldier outside the door.

"No one was seen."

Song Yin is Qin Huiyin. Since she is disguised as a man, she has to change her name, and her new name is Song Yin.

Song Ruize was looking for Qin Huiyin in the military headquarters.

"Someone is coming..."

"Commander-in-chief, what are your instructions?"

"Find Song Yin immediately."

After a while, all the men came to report that they had not seen Song Yin.

"Commander-in-chief, someone shot a short arrow at the door, and there is a note on it." Jiang Qingnan handed him the note.

When Song Ruize opened it, his body swayed, his face turned pale, and his eyes were full of anger.

Jiang Qingnan took the note from him, and his expression changed drastically when he saw the words on it.

"Who actually took someone away from our Bingmasi?"

Song Ruize clenched his fists and shouted angrily, "Notify all your informants to find Yinyin immediately, quickly..."

"I'll go right away."

Song Ruize looked at the provocative words on the note: I'm taking the beauty away, don't worry, I will treat her well.

Yinyin was at the Bingmasi just now, but she disappeared right under his nose.

The man took her away just to tell him that even under his protection, the other party could still take her away.

Yinyin, she must be very scared now.

But now he didn't know where to find her.

"I can't lose my composure. The more confused I am, the less I can think. I need to calm down... yes, calm down..."

There must be a spy in the military headquarters. Finding this spy immediately may be the key to a breakthrough.

After a cup of tea, Zhou Jinyuan escorted a soldier out and said to him, "Commander-in-chief, this is the man who knocked Yinyin unconscious and then hid her in a shopping carriage and sent her away."

Song Ruize looked at the soldier coldly: "You have a family, right? How about I cut your family into pieces?"

The soldier trembled and said, "Please spare my life, sir. I am willing to die as an apology. Please spare my family."

"Why take him away?"

"Someone gave me a hundred taels of silver to take that servant away. I thought it was just a servant, and no one would care if he disappeared. But I owed a gambling debt, and if I didn't pay the money, the gambling house would chop off my hand."

"Where did you send the person?" Song Ruize said, "If you make amends, I will leave you with an intact body."

"That person just asked me to drop him off at a dead end and someone would come to pick him up later. I don't know where he went."

"Commander-in-chief, we still won't be able to find his whereabouts if we continue like this." Zhou Jinyuan looked at his wound worriedly.

His wound was already bleeding.

"I need to contact someone..." Song Ruize said, "Jin Yuan, please help me deliver a letter. I need to leave the city."

In the dark secret room, Qin Huiyin was locked with iron chains, which made rattling sounds as her hands and feet moved.

She found that she had changed her clothes. She was wearing men's clothes before, but now she was wearing women's clothes.

While she was unconscious, she was held hostage and someone helped her bathe and change clothes.

She felt her body, making sure there was nothing wrong, which meant it was still safe.

The secret room was dark, she couldn't see anything, and she didn't know what was going on.

A ray of light came in.

She looked up and saw a man wearing a mask.

The man walked in from the entrance of the secret room, holding a lantern in his hand.

The light from the lantern was very dim, and Qin Huiyin still couldn't catch any information.

"Who are you?" Qin Huiyin tried hard to look at the person in front of her, wanting to see his appearance clearly.

He was wearing a mask and dressed in black, and in the darkness, he really didn't reveal any information.

She was chained to a bed with a table and chairs next to her, and a kettle and teacups on the table.

He sat down in front of her and reached out to touch her cheek.

"Speak up, what do you want to do? Why are you locking me up? Did I know you before? Do we have a grudge?"

The man's hand first touched her cheek, then her neck, as if stroking a precious piece of porcelain.

Qin Huiyin felt hopeless.

This man didn't kill her, so he probably didn't intend to take her life.

There are only two possible situations like this. One is that he wants to imprison her and torture her slowly, and the other is that he has met a pervert and is afraid that he will suffer.

If it was the former, he would inevitably be missing limbs, eyes, or other parts of his body. If it was the latter, he would probably lose his innocence.

No matter which one it was, she didn't want it, so she had to find a way to break this deadlock.

"Big brother, let's talk it over. What do you want? I have some silver and I can give you some." Qin Huiyin said, "Instead of locking me up here, why not get something from me? How about 10,000 taels?"

"What if I say I want your body?" the man who had been silent spoke.

"I'll give you 10,000 taels, and you can have any woman you want. If 10,000 taels isn't enough, how about 50,000 taels?"

"But how can those vulgar women compare to a beauty like you?" The man touched her cheek.

Qin Huiyin suppressed her nausea and continued to negotiate: "Besides wanting me, do you have any other conditions?"

"Yes!" The man approached Qin Huiyin, his eyes full of evil amusement, "I want Song Ruize's life."

"You...you are the one who assassinated Brother Ruize last night." Qin Huiyin glared at him, "You might as well just kill me. Don't even think about using me to threaten Brother Ruize."

"Do you know how anxious Song Ruize is right now? I heard that his wound burst open while he was looking for you, and he bled a lot. His clothes were soaked with blood, and he didn't even bother to change or treat his wound. He searched everywhere for you. I wonder how long he can hold on? If he still can't find you after a few days, will he die of anxiety? Haha..."
