Lu Chen originally did not intend to abandon Shen Qianli.

But even with him by my side, it wouldn't be safe to go.

Not only did it slow down the process, but in just over ten days, anything could easily happen.

The impatient second prince might also give up and act recklessly.

It's better to turn a passive situation into an active one.

They would create some trouble for Laocheng, slip out of the city in the chaos, and then the two of them would hitch up their horses and head north. They would be able to reunite with Li Wei and the others in three to five days.

The two men took advantage of the darkness to find their way to the study of the government office.

They used a tinderbox to search for things on the bookshelf.

Before long, they found the city defense map.

The two exchanged a smile, then turned and walked out!

Those who were with Shen Qianli saw Qin Yu walk away.

Only then did he sneak in and shake Shen Qianli, who was lying on the ground.

"Your Highness, Your Highness!"

Shen Qianli was woken up, shaking his head, somewhat dazed.

"Your Highness, you're awake! Someone come quickly!"

A group of more than ten people, some kept watch, others untied themselves.

He helped Shen Qianli up from the ground.

"What about the other two?"

Shen Qianli inquired.

The soldier honestly replied, "That man went into town; I have people keeping an eye on him!"

"Go and see!"

Shen Qianli stood up and walked outside.

Shen Da ran over.

"Your Highness, your subordinates are incompetent; that woman escaped!"

"Useless!" Shen Qianli kicked the man in the chest in frustration.

Shen Da fell to the ground, not daring to make a sound.

But then Shen Qianli coughed up another mouthful of blood.

Shen Da immediately got up to help him.

"Your Highness, let's see the doctor first!"

The group went to the city to find a clinic, but stopped it before it closed.

After the doctor finished treating the wound, he removed the last silver needle.

"It's all fine now!"

Shen Qianli was somewhat incredulous. "What kind of poison is this?"

The doctor looked at Shen Qianli with a puzzled expression.

"Young master wasn't poisoned, he just took the wrong medicine, which caused him to be deficient in both qi and blood!"

"It's no big deal!"

Shen Qianli found this somewhat amusing.

That woman was cunning; she managed to outwit them completely.

"hateful!"

Shen Qianli slammed his fist on the bed board in anger.

Thinking back to that time, she cut herself without even blinking.

It turns out she didn't poison herself at all.

Thinking this made him feel much better.

At least she didn't really want her own life.

The more this happens, the less I want to let her go.

"Shen Da, go to the government office immediately and find these two people! You must find them for me!"

Shen Da didn't go out immediately, but looked at Shen Qianli with some hesitation.

"Your Highness... that woman said that if we pursue her relentlessly, things will definitely not end well!"

"Go after them!"

Shen Qianli didn't hesitate for a moment. Shen Da had no choice but to wave and lead his men out.

By this time, Li Wei's letter had reached the frontier and was in the hands of General Cheng.

General Cheng began to hesitate.

Li Shuangshuang, standing to the side, was also getting anxious.

"General Cheng, General Lu is currently in Xinli Imperial City. They are in great danger. We must go and rescue them!"

General Cheng glanced at it.

"The situation is unclear right now, so it's not appropriate for us to openly approach them!"

"That's enemy territory. What if General Lu encounters danger over there?"

Li Shuangshuang regrets it now, but she should have followed along!

If she hadn't been scared, she would at least be with Lu Chen right now!

Instead of just watching like we are now!

The other people standing nearby also hesitated.

"But now is the time for peace talks. If we rashly send troops, and the Emperor holds us accountable..."

This war was rather strange to begin with.

The other side is not determined to fight to the death.

The battle ended in less than six months.

They didn't investigate further, they just focused on fighting.

But once they calm down, they can all come to their senses!

There's definitely something wrong here.

But no matter what, this is a good thing for ordinary people!

If they were to suddenly launch an attack now, the Emperor would not agree!

If another fight breaks out, that's not what anyone wants to see!

"I already asked Lu Chen to go find someone, but I didn't promise him I would go to rescue anyone!"

"Now that he's found the person, it's up to him to figure things out on his own!"

General Cheng was unwilling to let Lu Chen rescue Qin Yu in the first place!

Knowing what Qin Yu had done, they had no choice but to agree!

Now we know that Qin Yu was taken away by the eldest prince of the royal family.

He began to have a different opinion about the matter.

I still feel uneasy about what Lu Chen said about Qin Yu.

He said that on purpose because he was worried that I wouldn't let him go to rescue people!

If he hadn't said it that way, it would have just been a story of two men fighting over one woman!

In his view, Lu Chen made up all sorts of excuses and went to great lengths to save a woman!

He was naturally unwilling to go and save him.

After thinking for a moment, she comforted Li Shuangshuang.

"Miss Li, General Lu treats that woman differently, so don't waste your time on him!"

"What nonsense are you talking about!"

Li Shuangshuang didn't want to admit it.

"Miss Li, don't worry. Perhaps General Lu doesn't need our rescue?"

They were to return to the capital tomorrow, and none of them wanted any unexpected trouble at this time!

As soon as General Cheng finished speaking, a sound came from the gate.

"But what if that woman is Young Master Qin, the one who saved you from dire straits?"

Looking up, I was surprised to see Xu Shaoting.

"Young Master Xu!?" General Cheng was somewhat surprised, not expecting the visitor to be Young Master Xu!

He knew Xu Shaoting.

The people around Young Master Qin.

Over the past few years, he has often personally delivered things over.

General Cheng was somewhat surprised to see Xu Shaoting!

But upon hearing what he said, I was quite surprised.

"What did you say, Young Master Xu?"

"General Cheng, I don't want to make things difficult for you! You can take a look at this first!"

As Xu Shaoting spoke, he stepped forward and took out an account book.

"these are?"

You should know these things!

Xu Shaoting explained.

"You know I've been working for Young Master Qin all these years! This ledger is a record of everything that's been sent here over the past five years; I believe you can understand it!"

When General Cheng saw the account book, he was also somewhat shocked!

There are tens of thousands of cotton-padded coats for the soldiers alone.

Not to mention the grain, fodder, and disinfectant!

He, who never kept accounts, had no idea that he had received so many things over the years!

"General Cheng, I'm not threatening you with this, I'm just telling you!"

"Over the years, our soldiers have received such great favors from outside the imperial court, and Young Master Qin has never expected anything in return!"

"I was always worried that the supplies I funded wouldn't reach the soldiers, and I would rack my brains for a long time about it!"

"But now her life is in danger, can you really just stand by and watch her die?"

General Cheng stared speechlessly, unsure of what to say for a moment.

"You mean Young Master Qin is Qin Yu, and Qin Yu is Young Master Qin?"

Seeing Xu Shaoting's gaze, General Cheng dared not have the slightest doubt!

"You need to think this through. If someone like her were captured by the enemy and used by them, what would be the consequences!"

"Even if you report this to the Emperor, he cannot utter a single word of dissent against you!"
