Shen Rou waited anxiously in the inn for three days, but no one contacted her, which made her worried about the safety of her grandmother and younger brothers and sisters.

It’s better to be patient and wait for the people from Beiyan to come and contact us, otherwise if something unexpected happens, grandma and the others will be in danger.

What she didn't know was that someone in the inn where she was staying was monitoring her every move. "Boss, Princess Furong has been staying at the inn for the past three days, and no one has contacted her. She must have come to Jizhou alone to rescue her family. A girl who traveled thousands of miles alone to save her family is truly admirable for her courage and bravery."

"No matter how powerful she is, she still has to obey our orders when she arrives in Jizhou."

"Her strength should not be underestimated. If she can serve His Majesty, our Northern Yan will be even more powerful militarily and will soon surpass Great Qi. By then, retaking Youzhou will be a piece of cake, and even conquering the cities of Great Qi will be more than enough."

"That being said, it all depends on whether she is willing to sincerely serve the prince."

"We've investigated and found that her family is her weak spot. For the sake of her family, she will cooperate with the prince to manufacture weapons for our Northern Yan."

"That's great. Otherwise, Wuyi City would be the burial place of their entire family."

"When are we going to bring her into Wuyi City?"

"Wait a minute, the prince ordered that we must make sure she came here alone before we dare to take her back to Wuyi City, otherwise there will be endless trouble."

Gao Feng and the other two took turns monitoring the inn across the street day and night. "It's been three days, and the men in black still haven't appeared. What are they trying to do? Are they trying to test their patience?"

"They must be afraid that the princess will bring people here, so they have been secretly monitoring her. They will only take action after they are sure that no one is coming."

"Please be patient and don't miss any clues. If the princess is taken away and we don't find out, how can we be worthy of her trust and how can we explain to King Mu?"

"I know."

"It is our honor to work under the princess. If the princess's brother and sister had not been captured this time, we would never have become her subordinates. God has given us this opportunity, and we must prove that we are capable of becoming the princess's subordinates and are no less capable than any other guard."

"That's right. When the princess marries Prince Mu, we will be the palace's guards. Even the lowest-ranked sixth-rank guards hold official positions, something many people envy. We must work diligently and conscientiously to gain the princess and Prince Mu's trust."

The three of them nodded firmly.

Shangguan Yunting arrived at the Pingzhou Pharmacy with sixty guards. When Su Yu saw Shangguan Yunting, she quickly saluted and said, "I pay my respects to the master."

"How can you all be here and there is no one to help the princess?"

"My lord, the princess ordered her subordinates to wait for you here. She said that since we have been following Xiaoxue, the enemy must know us, so she took Gao Feng and the other two to Jizhou."

“Who is Gao Feng reliable?”

"He's the yamen runner who came with us to Pingzhou chasing the men in black. He's now been accepted as a subordinate by the princess."

Liang Ping and the other three quickly bowed and saluted, "Your Highness, we are here to pay our respects to you."

Shangguan Yunting sized them up with a sharp gaze. After a pause, he said sternly, "Since the princess chose you to be her guards, she must have her reasons. Loyalty is paramount to becoming her guards. If you dare betray her, I will not forgive you."

"I obey my orders."

"How is your injury? Can you travel far?"

"Your Highness, my injuries are fine and I can travel anytime."

"Han Lin, take forty guards with you to Jizhou. You must contact the princess and protect her and her grandmothers Xiaoxue and Xiaonan. If anything happens, send a message immediately."

"I obey my orders."

"The rest of you should follow me to the Youzhou military camp."

"I obey my orders."

After receiving the order, Han Lin immediately took forty guards with Liang Ping and others and rushed to Jizhou. They rode non-stop along the way, not daring to slack off for even a moment.

Shangguan Yunting took twenty guards with him to the Youzhou military camp. The emperor had ordered the guards to escort Jingyu and the confession to the Youzhou military camp. With the witness and the confession, it would be safer to go to Beiyan and ask the emperor of Beiyan for the person.
