She transmigrated into a widow and farmed to raise vests.

Chapter 302: Citywide Manhunt

Under the cover of night, the ashes leave behind only ruins.

The people at the post station had already been traveling through the night.

The journey slowed down because of the injuries to two people.

Helian Zi had a high fever for several days.

He was already weak, and with the added injury, he was in a coma.

Seeing that Lu Xiaoan and Lu Zhou were also keeping watch, Wei Hua gestured for the two of them to go and rest first.

Lu Xiaoan felt somewhat guilty.

It was because of me that my grandmother got hurt.

I wonder if my mother will scold me.

Wei Hua didn't know what to say.

Helian Zi's body was in critical condition, and he didn't know how long he could live.

All he could do was pray that Qin Yu would return soon!

Two days later, the fragrant woman arrived with wound medicine and a pharmacist.

But Linghu Bai was nowhere to be found in the room.

Wei Hua quickly checked and found that Linghu Bai had already ridden away on horseback!

Qin Yu and Lu Chen checked out of the room.

They bought two horses and headed out of the city!

At the city gate, a large number of soldiers were conducting inspections!

They questioned and examined everyone carefully, even turning over the haystacks.

The two people, now dressed differently, were no longer in a hurry!

Walking openly and honestly on the street.

They bought dry food and hot bread, and ate their meal leisurely.

There wasn't the slightest bit of panic.

After packing everything up, they headed towards the city gate!

On the city gate, Shen Qianli looked at the scene inside the city!

All sorts of people were running around, but she was nowhere to be seen!

This made him very unhappy.

Shen Da, who was watching from the side, tentatively offered some advice.

"Your Highness, that woman is gone, so let's just leave it at that!"

Shen Qianli frowned and glanced at Shen Da.

Shen Daming knew that Shen Qianli was unhappy, and touched his nose with a helpless expression.

But he still mustered up his courage and continued speaking.

"I know you won't be happy, but that woman's status is not good enough for you. Now that she's run away, we might as well let her go!"

He didn't even say who the man who met the woman was!

Perhaps he was that woman's lover.

Why should the Crown Prince still be hung up on a woman like that?

Shen Qianli frowned and grabbed Shen Da's collar.

"Stop talking nonsense. Whether that woman is worthy or not is none of your business. Do what you're supposed to do!"

"If I hear those words again, I'll be punished with a beating!"

Shen Da was shoved out and could only lower his head, no longer speaking!

But he understood in his heart that the Second Prince was right; this woman had to die!

When the two arrived at the city gate, they witnessed this scene.

Qin Yu also saw the two of them!

However, the two of them have already changed their outfits.

So I'm not worried at all about them being recognized.

They led their horses openly and honestly towards the city gate.

The soldier glanced at them but did not stop them.

Because they looked so different from the people in the portrait, the soldiers at the city gate let them pass without even comparing them!

The two of them breathed a sigh of relief.

Once outside the city, he mounted his horse and headed for the next city.

Shen Qianli stood on the city gate tower all day, but gained nothing.

That very night, however, a message arrived from the border!

"Da Yao said we sent men to burn their provisions and demanded that we hand over the people?"

"The war has already ended; how could anyone make decisions on their own!"

Shen Qianli pulled on the reins and headed towards the military camp outside the city!

They rode at breakneck speed all the way.

They caught up with Qin Yu and Lu Chen in less than half a day!

However, because the two had changed their appearances, they were not recognized!

Qin Yu was a little nervous when he saw Shen Qianli!

She thought that her disguise had not fooled him, which was why he had chased after her.

As they brushed past each other, they couldn't help but look at Shen Qianli with some wariness.

She almost met Shen Qianli's gaze, but quickly looked away and continued on her way!

Shen Qianli merely glanced at the two of them from the side.

They didn't take it to heart and hurried to the border!

Inside the military camp tent, several generals also looked astonished!

When Shen Qianli lifted the curtain and entered, all the generals knelt on the ground.

With a wave of his hand, he swept everything on the table onto the floor!

"Can anyone tell me what happened?"

The generals touched the cold sweat on their foreheads, unsure of what to say.

Finally, General Gu bowed.

"Your Highness, this happened so suddenly, we don't know what happened!"

Several lieutenants echoed this sentiment.

"Yes, we didn't participate in the fighting in southern Xinjiang before!"

"Now that the war has ended, we certainly won't set fire to their grain depots!"

"Yes, Your Highness is wise!"

Shen Qianli looked around and felt something was amiss.

"Go ask them what they want?"

At Shen Qianli's command, the deputy general hurriedly ran out to make arrangements.

Soon after, a message was brought in.

"Your Highness, they..."

"what happened?"

Shen Qianli looked up and then gripped the cup in his hand tightly.

The lieutenant touched his forehead, feeling somewhat guilty, and hesitated for a few seconds.

"Yes...yes, they want us to release their people!"

These words stunned everyone present.

When did they kidnap their people? What do they mean by asking them to release them?

Everyone looked at each other.

"Who are you? When did we help their people?"

"I don't know either, I've never heard of this!"

"Who says otherwise? I've never heard of it either!"

"Slander, it must be slander!"

"Your Highness, this Da Yao is provoking us and looking for trouble!"

"I think so too! Otherwise, why would they suddenly ask us to release them!"

Everyone chimed in with their own comments, but Shen Qianli had already grasped the meaning behind it all!

It must be that news of Qin Yu staying at his residence reached the other side!

That's why they went to such lengths to fight!

But this only made Shen Qianli seem even stranger!

She's just a woman.

Why would a general of Emperor Yao pull such a stunt?

They went so far as to fabricate such a story just to get him to release the person!

The more Shen Qianli thought about it, the more something seemed off.

There must be something wrong with that woman.

Thinking this way, he felt even more strongly that he couldn't let that woman leave!

He slammed his hand on the table and sternly rebuked the crowd who were still discussing the matter.

"Shut up, all of you!"

He took out a portrait of Qin Yu from his person.

"There are two portraits here. Send more people to the area. Once you spot these two people, arrest them immediately!"

General Gu stepped forward and took the portrait.

I looked at it carefully again and again, and for a moment I was at a loss!

Seeing that Shen Qianli looked terrible, he didn't dare to ask any questions!

Based on their schedules, those two people should arrive here in the next few days.

He was unwilling to give up even the slightest chance to win her over!

"A city-wide manhunt is underway; not a single suspicious person can be let slip through!"

At this point, the number of soldiers patrolling the four city gates in the North doubled.

There were far fewer pedestrians on the street!

At this moment, Xu Shaoting and General Cheng, both on horseback, were looking in the distance with solemn expressions.
