She transmigrated into a widow and farmed to raise vests.

General Cheng understood immediately!

These things far surpass the imperial court's grain and supplies!

Even the highest-ranking officials and nobles in the capital are not as precious as these things!

"She discovered the disinfectant, and she led the planting of cotton. You need to think carefully about whether you can really let someone like that stay in the enemy's camp."

Xu Shaoting spoke each word carefully, and General Cheng's expression grew even more serious!

Everyone present realized the seriousness of the problem!

Such a person would be a loss to the enemy if he were on their side!

It's more than just a loss!

If it weren't for her, their soldiers might still be suffering through this harsh winter!

Countless people have been injured, infected, or died!

It is precisely because their soldiers are well-fed and warmly clothed that they have such high morale!

Li Shuangshuang was also stunned at this moment!

I never expected Qin Yu to be such a capable person!

As someone who treats the wounded, she understands better than anyone the importance of those disinfectants!

She also had to admit that with the disinfectant, their efficiency and quality of treating the wounded had improved!

She now realizes the seriousness of the problem!

"Perhaps General Lu knew all along, which is why he risked his life to save her!"

"General Cheng, what do you say?"

Xu Shaoting looked at General Cheng.

At this moment, General Cheng held the account book in his hand, his face serious!

"Don't worry, Young Master Xu, I know what to do!"

"I will plead guilty to the Emperor and I will definitely save Young Master Qin!"

"I believe everyone here shares the same thought as me! Even the Emperor would agree!"

As General Cheng spoke, he drew his sword and prepared to walk outside!

"Now I, the general, will go and muster the troops!"

Xu Shaoting stopped him!

"Wait, General!"

"If our reason for sending troops is merely that of a merchant, such an excuse is certainly unacceptable!"

Xu Shaoting hesitated.

It's not that I don't want to save people, it's just that I can't save them this way!

"What do you mean? What excuse do you need?"

Xu Shaoting knew that he was a military officer and didn't have that many tricks up his sleeve.

Let's just point out the stakes!

"A merchant isn't worth getting so angry about, nor is it worth sending troops. If we tell the truth, it will only make them more determined to release Young Master Qin!"

After all, she is a woman, and there are many ways to keep her!

Outsiders don't know the truth and only think she's a femme fatale.

A general who had won a battle refused to return to the capital and instead sent troops to rescue a woman.

This is completely unreasonable no matter how you look at it!

If word gets out, Qin Yu will likely become a target of public criticism in the future.

Xu Shaoting wanted to save people, but he absolutely couldn't do it!

"What should we do then? That belongs to Young Master Qin, are we just going to leave it there?"

"We must rescue them, but we must also follow the proper methods!"

General Cheng was aware of the stakes involved, and he slammed his hand on the table, somewhat agitated.

Even as a general, one cannot privately contact the royal family of Shinri.

If word gets out, I'll be dead.

"You can't catch a wolf without risking your cub!"

Xu Wei, who had been silent, came closer.

"General, you're framing me!"

Xu Wei explained his thoughts.

Burn some grain and fodder to the west of Xinli and frame Xinli for the crime.

Xinli was originally dependent on neighboring countries.

At this point, they dared not send troops; they simply claimed that the people of Xinli had burned their granaries!

"In that case, the royal family in Xinli will definitely want us to negotiate. We can just ask them to hand over the person then!"

Then we'll say they kidnapped the young general and demand he hand over!

This avoided war and also avoided mentioning Qin Yu's name.

"However, this inevitably means that the charade will turn into a real fire, and a granary will be burned down!"

General Cheng had a stern face.

"What's a granary? Young Master Qin has given us far more than just a granary! Besides, whether or not this even exists is up to us!"

Upon hearing this, Xu Shao understood General Cheng's meaning!

Whether this incident happened or not, the charge of burning grain and fodder will definitely be pinned on Xinli!

This idea was unanimously approved by everyone.

And so, General Cheng wrote a letter to apologize to the Emperor.

However, they dared not mention the name Young Master Qin.

They only mentioned the burning of grain and fodder in Xinli, which caused the delay.

So the group went to make arrangements.

At this moment, Qin Yu and Lu Chen were hiding on the crossbeam of the county government office study.

Below is the man who fought Qin Yu an hour ago.

"Lord Shen, why are you in such a hurry to see me? Has something happened?"

The prefectural governor touched his forehead, his face covered in cold sweat.

Being woken up from bed late at night is really not a good thing.

"A woman has escaped from the First Prince's residence. Martial law is now in effect throughout the city; close the gates and conduct a full-scale search!"

"But what about that woman from the Great Yao Kingdom? I'll go and arrest her right now, and send her to the Crown Prince's residence immediately!"

Shen Da lowered his eyes. "No, kill them on the spot!"

"Huh? Wasn't it said that the First Prince favored that woman? Why was he executed on the spot?"

Shen Da sternly rebuked him.

"Enough with the nonsense, just do what I tell you and give the orders!"

"If the Crown Prince asks, do you know how to answer?"

The prefect wiped his forehead and nodded repeatedly as he saw the man off.

Looking at the portrait, I hesitated.

"Everyone says the Crown Prince dotes on this woman, so why is he trying to kill her now?"

But he was just a minor official, and he couldn't control this matter.

He could only shake his head helplessly, holding the portrait.

After everyone left, Lu Chen looked at Qin Yu.

I want to know what Qin Yu is thinking right now!

Qin Yu glanced at Lu Chen but remained silent.

At this time, all the officials from the government office had left, so they could wait a while.

Only after confirming that no one was there did he climb down from the beam.

After leaving the government office, the two of them found an alley.

Outside, many soldiers were carrying torches and searching everywhere.

Lu Chen looked around and then led Qin Yu to the other side.

Qin Yu stopped near the clothing store.

"Wait here!" Qin Yu gestured for himself to go to the clothing store to find two outfits.

Lu Chen immediately stopped him.

"If they won't arrest me, I will!"

Seeing this, Qin Yu also hid to the side and did not move.

In no time at all, he had come over.

"go!"

Lu Chen draped a cloak over Qin Yu and led her outside.

"That inn was just searched. I booked a room, went in to change, and rested for the night!"

Qin Yu didn't hesitate either; his nose was frozen red from the cold snow.

She didn't want to be pretentious.

Upon entering the inn, Qin Yu kept his head very low.

The innkeeper was seeing off the soldiers when he met two people who greeted him with smiles.

Lu Chen noticed that the innkeeper was trying to look at Qin Yu.

He quickly pulled the person closer to him.

"My wife has caught a cold and can't stand the wind, so we'll go back to our room now!"

Seeing this, the shopkeeper stopped looking and immediately had someone take them upstairs.

A stove was lit in the room, and Lu Chen took out two pieces of clothing.

"You change your clothes first, I'll go get some hot water!"

After closing the door, Qin Yu put away his clothes and took two cotton vests from his spatial storage.

When Lu Chen knocked on the door, Qin Yu was already dressed!

But the moment they knocked on the door was seen by the innkeeper!
