As night gradually fell, Mu Qingwan was blindfolded and could not see everything around her. She could only judge by hearing. She was carried onto a creaking cart and sat down. Then she only heard the grunting of the cart.

Then began to take action.

Yuzhou is the junction of Northern Yan and Dongmo. It has always been a place where the military strategists of the two countries often compete. However, the military strength of Northern Yan is slightly stronger than that of Dongmo, so this state is now under the jurisdiction of Northern Yan.

In order to prevent harassment from Dong Mo, this place has always been heavily guarded. But today, in addition to the officers and soldiers who guarded the place as usual, a large number of imperial guards came with imperial orders. However, they were very tight-lipped and could not say a word.

All I knew was that an extremely important person was missing in the palace. The emperor was furious and sent people to search everywhere. The area bordering the three kingdoms of Western Chu, Dongmo and Nanzhao was undoubtedly an important place for searching.

At this moment, although it was already night, the guards did not dare to slack off for a moment, and the guards standing next to them were even more eager to look at the various people coming and going at the city gate. If they had any suspicion, they would pull them over for questioning.

It made people panic.

At this time, a couple appeared at the gate of the city. The man was hunched over, with a big boil on his forehead and a foul smell. He stretched out his hand to pull a cart. On the cart was a woman in coarse cloth, her eyes wrapped with bandages.

It was covered with blood, and a young man who looked about twenty years old was holding her and sitting on it. He also had boils on his face and looked worried.

The soldiers guarding the city waited until they came closer, then stretched out their long swords to stop them, and asked coldly: "What are you doing?"

The man spoke with a Jiangnan accent and said pitifully:

"Master, our family of three came from Wuzhou in the south of the Yangtze River. There was a famine in Pei County of Wuzhou. In order to make ends meet, we went north to visit our relatives. When we arrived here, we found out that our relatives had unfortunately died a few years ago. Now we have nowhere to go.

My mother-in-law has an eye disease again. I heard that there is a doctor outside the city who specializes in treating eye diseases, so she went out of the city to seek medical treatment so late. I hope you will be well and let her go."

At this time, the woman lying on the cart suddenly began to shake her head and move, and the man's flattering face immediately showed impatience:

"Er Gouzi, your mother's eyesight is not good. If you don't support her properly, what will happen if she falls off the car? Your poor mother has suffered a lot with me in the first half of her life, and now it's so easy to drag you down.

Well, I have this problem again..."

As he spoke, he began to wipe his tears with his sleeves.

But the woman seemed to be in severe pain. She kept rubbing her body, whimpering, and swaying on the cart. The young man looked at the man in panic. The man took off his shoes and walked over with a curse.

The young man's face was slapped hard several times. The young man's cheeks immediately turned red, and the boil oozed pus. A putrid smell immediately filled the entire city gate. The man seemed to be slapping his mouth while cursing.

road:

"You're a useless thing. You're over 20 years old and can't earn a penny to support your family. Now I just want you to support your mother. You're also lazy. Do you think your mother is mute and can't teach you, so you're bullying me?"

She? You white-eyed wolf...I’ll beat you to death! Beat you to death!”

The young man tightened his grip on the woman in the car with grievance, "Mom, I know you are in pain, please don't move any more. When the official lets you go, my father and I will take you to find the doctor..."

The soldiers guarding the city frowned, and originally wanted to come forward and search them, but when they got closer, the three members of the family all had a foul smell on their bodies, and maggots were faintly visible on the big sores on the man's face. See him again.

My son also had the same thing on his face, and he suddenly broke out in a cold sweat. I heard that epidemics often spread in places where there is famine, and this family came from there. What if the epidemic is really contagious?

It's not worth it to have to sacrifice yourself just to search yourself.

He was thinking this in his mind, and glanced at the Imperial Guards aside, waiting for his order.

The man in armor ignored the filth and smell, and stepped forward to check on the three of them carefully. He also saw that the eyes of the woman in the car began to bleed again, and he felt compassion in his heart. He thought that these three people,

She probably had nothing to do with the stunningly beautiful former empress that the emperor had mentioned, so she waved to the guards and agreed to let her go.

When the soldiers guarding the city saw the commander's words, they immediately breathed a sigh of relief, covered their noses and waved their hands in disgust, "Let's go, let's go."

The man thanked him with a flattering look, pulled the cart, and limped forward to leave.

But the woman in the car began to struggle again, and the imperial guard frowned slightly, but then he thought that the woman's eyes were really hurting, so he didn't pay attention anymore.

Seeing that the family of three was about to walk out of the city gate, suddenly there was a sound of horse hoofbeats from behind, and then a deep voice sounded, with a chilling air from the sound, and an indifference that could exclude people from thousands of miles away:

"How's the investigation going here? Is there anyone suspicious?"

The guards who guarded the city immediately knelt down when they saw him. Those guards who didn't know the details saw him kneeling and hurriedly knelt down together. The guard said:

"Tonight is relatively deserted. So far, only a family of three has passed by. The man speaks with a Jiangnan accent. His wife has an eye problem. They are rushing to seek medical treatment outside the city. There should be nothing suspicious to my subordinates."

The man in black on the horse narrowed his eyes, "Where are they?"

The Imperial Guard replied respectfully: "Just passed."

The man looked at the family of three in front of him from a distance and ordered: "Cut them down. I want to investigate them myself."

When Helian Moxiao heard something bad, he immediately accelerated the speed of pulling the cart. The moment he was only one step away from the city gate, the guards behind him caught up. He was so angry that he secretly clenched his fists, ready at any time.

A fierce battle, with a flattering smile on his face:

"Master, aren't you allowed to go?"

The guard soldier said: "Don't be wordy, we have an adult here and we want to investigate in person."

Mu Qingwan, who was sitting in the car, was secretly anxious. When she heard the familiar voice coming from behind her, her eyes heated up and tears fell down.

That voice belongs to Xia Houlie! It’s him! It’s him!

As soon as she realized this, she felt ecstatic and quietly began to use her strength to break through the acupuncture points, but she couldn't break through the dumb points. She could only let her upper body regain consciousness.

Helian Moxiao glanced at the young man on the cart. The latter's eyes were also deep, and he hurriedly hugged Mu Qingwan's body that was about to struggle.

The sound of horse hooves behind him gradually approached, and Mu Qingwan had thousands of thoughts running through her mind, thinking about how to let Xia Houzie discover her.

If she is released and gets out of the customs, she will really be in trouble every day. That bastard Helian Mo Xiao has absolutely no good intentions towards her, and he doesn't know where to send her.

No, she couldn't sit still and wait for death.

Xia Houlie got off his horse, and regardless of the stench that could be smelled from a long way away from the three members of the family, he stepped forward to check. Seeing that he looked noble, the guard stepped forward and flattered him:

"Sir, these hungry people are fleeing famine from the south of the Yangtze River. They are infected with some serious disease. Sir, it is better to be careful."

Xia Houlie glared at him, and the guard who spoke immediately felt as if he had died for the first time, trembling all over, and no longer dared to say anything more.

When the man in the trailer saw someone coming to check, he immediately smiled flatteringly: "This official, the official in front of me has checked carefully. We are good citizens, and my mother-in-law's eyes can't wait anymore."

Okay, I hope you'll do well and it's convenient."

Xia Houlie squinted his eyes and looked at him carefully, then turned to the woman lying on the cart.

Mu Qingwan noticed a cold gaze staring at her, and her heart beat wildly. She secretly prayed that he could see something strange about her. At the same time, she secretly freed her hands from the young man's grip and started to move again, whining as she wanted to speak.

, the young man next to her immediately held her down:

"Mom, please stop moving. The more you move, the more your eyes will hurt. We will be able to see the doctor soon. Please be patient for now..."

Mu Qingwan didn't seem to hear it. She struggled harder and harder and rolled off the cart. The man and the young man panicked and immediately stepped forward to help her, as if they were comforting a sick and petty person.

General, half persuading and half coaxing, he pulled her back to the car.

Tears welled up in the man's eyes again. He pulled up his sleeves and wiped away his tears while begging Xia Houlie:

"My lord, please do me a favor. My mother-in-law is in unbearable pain. If she doesn't leave the city, her life will be lost..."

Xia Houlie frowned and glanced at the woman. He saw that as she struggled, the gauze tied around her eyes became increasingly red. He couldn't bear it, so he could only wave his hand and said, "Let's go."

Upon hearing this, the man quickly wiped away his tears and said, "Thank you, sir. Thank you, sir."

With that said, he immediately pulled the cart and started walking out of the city, and was out of the city in a few steps.

Xia Houlie stood there with his hands behind his hands and watched the family of three walk away. Then he sighed and was about to walk back to his horse. Suddenly something seemed to hit his feet. He moved his feet to pick up the thing and take a look.

, his eyes instantly burst out with sharp light, he turned around and shouted:

"Quickly, let me catch up with the family of three just now!"

As he spoke, he got on his horse first and chased after him. The soldiers guarding the city were frightened by him, but they did not dare to delay for a moment and immediately mounted their horses and followed him.

But after chasing for more than ten miles, there is no trace of the family of three?

Xia Houlie stared blankly at the border marker on the outskirts leading to Dongmo, took out the silver ring in his arms, and felt regretful.

That was Qingwan just now. She must have been controlled by someone, so she took off the ring to remind him of her whereabouts.

Wan, no matter heaven or earth, I will bring you back to me!

He secretly clenched his fists and swore in his heart.

Helian Moxiao pulled the cart, got off the official road, and walked along the secluded mountain road until it started to get light and saw that there were no pursuers behind him. He breathed a sigh of relief and told Mu Qingwan

After untying the acupuncture points, he pulled off the bandage on her eyes, glared at her fiercely, and said in a cold tone:
Chapter completed!
