Chapter 139 Escape
The fiery red sun hangs high in the sky, the border is desolate, and the summer wind blows gusts of sand.

It takes five full days to walk from Fengqing to Yanhui without any riding equipment.

People fleeing the war poured into the towering city ahead like a long dragon.

The city of Yanhui was crowded with people fleeing for their lives.

Everyone's face was filled with shock, even fear from having experienced war.

The Huben Army was no match for the larger Western Jin army, and several of their lieutenant generals had already died, and they were losing ground.

The Western Jin Dynasty fought all the way to Shiqiu. Now the people of Shiqiu, as well as Longhui and Sansha, which are closest to Shiqiu, have all flocked to Yanhui.

Rong Peilan's lips and tongue were dry from the sun. As soon as she stepped into the gate of Yanhui, the city gate behind her closed.

The people who had not yet been able to enter cried out in despair outside the city gate.

Everywhere you look, you see people fleeing with their families.

"My grandson is still outside!"

"Open the door!!"

"Mom! I want mom!"

There was crying inside and outside the city. In times of war, one could die if one was not careful.

Only at this moment do you realize that human life is nothing more than an ant.

Rong Peilan looked at Wan Lie, who pursed his lips beside him, and snorted coldly.

“I don’t know the suffering of Muchun, but I can see the suffering of the people very clearly now.”

"Is this the result Mr. Muchun wanted?"

Wan Lie turned his head to look at her without saying a word.

“Why are the city gates closed?”

A deep and angry roar frightened the officers and soldiers closing the city gate so much that they dropped their weapons.

The soldier stammered, "General, it was the order from the city guard..."

"The city is already overcrowded. With so many people, it will be a problem to have food tomorrow..."

The guarding of the city is under the jurisdiction of the city commander.

Although the Northwest Camp is stationed here, they do not interfere with each other and each performs its own duties.

Ji Zhenming said in a deep voice, "Open the door, I will take care of everything!"

"This..." The soldier was still a little hesitant.

Ji Zhenming handed the big knife in his hand to the follower beside him and took action himself.

It took two people to close the city gate. He grabbed the gate latch with both hands, the muscles in his arms burst, and after a low roar, the city gate slowly opened.

The people outside the city gate rushed into the city.

Caught off guard, Rong Peilan and Wan Lie were separated.

"Girl!" Wan Lie stretched out his hand and tried to squeeze forward, but was pushed to the side by the crowd.

When I blinked again, Rong Peilan was nowhere to be seen.

-

The Huben Army had been forced to Shiqiu, and Ji Yunzhang had a long knife wound on his back.

The military doctor tore off his old clothes. Unlike the marching soldiers whose skin was thick and tough, his wounds looked even more shocking.

Tu Ping, deputy general of the Huben Army, looked at this famous dandy young man from Yanjing differently.

Only then did he realize that he had been able to spy on the Western Jin Dynasty without telling anyone and could even send out signals at the right time.

If it weren't for Prince Ji, if the Western Jin army had quietly attacked in the middle of the night, the Huben Army would probably have died in their sleep.

Tu Ping glanced at the wound on Ji Yunzhang's back and realized that he was indeed a child who grew up in a wealthy family.

He took out a black porcelain bottle from his arms and handed it to the military doctor, "Give him this."

"Report!"

At this time, a soldier stood at the door of the tent.

"General, the Black Armor Army from the Northwest Camp has arrived!" "Quick, please come in!"

Wei Chi and Qin Anjiang led the Black Armor Army and rushed to Shiqiu at full speed.

The first thing the two saw when they came in was the injured Ji Yunzhang.

Wei Chi had always been by Ji Shizi's side when he was in Yanjing, and he had seen all kinds of things that he looked like.

Even when he and the prince were seriously injured last year, he had never been so miserable.

His eyes were a little dazed, and the stubble on his face made him look even more weathered.

Tu Ping stepped forward and clasped his fists in greeting, "I have already sent an urgent report to the capital, eight hundred miles away."

"The Northwest Camp cannot be moved yet. I am already very grateful to the General for letting General Qin transfer the Black Armor Army."

As he spoke, Tu Ping pulled Qin Anjiang aside to discuss tactics.

Wei Chi took two steps forward and was about to say something when two soldiers came in, supporting a girl.

Her face was so dirty that her original appearance could not be recognized, and the original color of her clothes could not be distinguished.

"Reporting to the prince, we only found one."

The two soldiers put Haitang down and reported with fists clasped.

When Haitang saw the injured prince, the tears that had long dried up suddenly filled her eyes again.

She limped and stumbled to her knees, "My Lord, I deserve to die. I failed to protect the young lady."

"The young lady was taken away by Muchun's men!"

Muchun?

Wei Chi was shocked. The young lady was captured by Muchun? !

Haitang burst into tears, "We were kidnapped at Xiangguo Temple, and took a boat all the way to Guangyang, where we happened to meet Master Jin who was leading the troops. We almost succeeded in asking for help."

"But he was captured again by Muchun's men, and then taken all the way to Fengqing, where he was locked up in the small courtyard that the prince saw."

"They found a mute girl to serve the young lady. The mute girl told me that we were being taken to the Western Jin Dynasty."

"When the Tiger Guards attacked the city, the prince had just left and we had no time to hide, when Muchun's men came and knocked me unconscious. It was my fault that I failed to protect the young lady!"

"Has the young lady been taken to the Western Jin Dynasty? Prince, please go and save her!"

"The young lady and the young master are still so young, they don't even recognize the young lady!"

Haitang crawled on the ground and cried loudly.

After hearing what Haitang said, Ji Yunzhang's face turned pale.

As soon as he left, his wife was kidnapped again.

Obviously he had already found her! As long as he watched her hide, he would leave a moment later.

My lady can now appear here safely with Haitang.

Ji Yunzhang raised his head, his eyes were bloodshot, "Is it because you didn't find it? I will go find it myself."

Haitang shook her head. "The town's clan leader and several big brothers have searched Fengqing inside and out several times."

Ji Yunzhang ignored the injury on his back and was about to go out with his spear in hand.

Qin Anjiang took two steps forward to stop him, "Where are you going? There is a war going on right now, are you going to die alone?"

"What about my wife?!"

"She is a weak woman, facing such a wolf-like father. If it was in the Western Jin Dynasty, what if Mu Chun sold her daughter for fame?!"

Father?

Is Mu Chun the young lady's father?
Wei Chi was a little unresponsive for a moment. If he remembered correctly, the young lady's father seemed to be named Rong Pingyuan, the famous Mr. Mingshi.

Qin Anjiang said in a deep voice, "I have heard of Muchun, and also the Khan of the Western Jin Dynasty, Moler. Although I have never dealt with Moler, he is cruel by nature, has no moral principles, does not play by the rules, and is a fickle person."

"Mu Chun is an extremely smart man. He was able to help Moller plan to this extent. Moller will not let him go to the Western Jin Dynasty now. What he needs now is Mu Chun's brain."

"If your wife is Muchun's daughter, then she is safe now."
