She refused to marry.

Su Wanwan turned around and saw a huge army rushing towards her!

Those men, wielding blood-stained knives, kicked up clouds of dust, shouting "Kill!!!"

Those present had never seen anything like this before and were stunned into silence.

Some had already abandoned their horses and fled.

Su Wanwan walked to a spot 300 meters away from the grain convoy and raised a jade pendant in her hand!

Upon seeing this, the army leader immediately pulled on the reins and stopped in front of the man.

"Who goes there?!" The general standing in front of the army spoke in a booming voice, his eyes sharp as knives, scrutinizing the thin, frail man before him.

Su Wanwan announced loudly, "I am under the command of the Crown Prince, and I have been ordered by him to escort military supplies here."

The general's pupils contracted slightly as his gaze fell on the jade pendant.

It was the prince's personal jade pendant.

He dismounted.

"This humble general was unaware that you were the Crown Prince's man, and I have offended you greatly!" The general bowed his head, clasped his hands, and said, his tone no longer carrying the murderous intent he had just displayed.

Hundreds of cavalrymen behind him dismounted in unison, their movements as synchronized as if they were one person.

"May I ask, young lady, when did the young master issue the order? And why are the provisions coming from the south?"

Su Wanwan glanced down at him. These people were ordered to head south and were clearing out forces along the way. Naturally, they would intercept any grain convoys they encountered.

"Military secrets must not be leaked." Su Wanwan put the jade pendant back into her sleeve, her tone becoming slightly indifferent, with a deliberately condescending air. "This batch of grain was personally ordered by the Crown Prince when he was in the capital, in preparation for any eventuality. If anything goes wrong, my Qin family cannot bear the responsibility."

"Does the young lady possess the Crown Prince's warrant?"

Su Wanwan's heart tightened. She didn't have one. Fortunately, she had prepared in advance and had Zhao Yu steal the seal of Prince Changxin from the Prince's residence and make a fake one to stamp on it.

The general examined the seal from both sides; he was very familiar with it.

He looked up at the woman opposite him. She was talking about the Qin family, not the young master's fiancée.

He then stepped back and waved his hand, saying, "Let them through!"

The cavalrymen sheathed their swords and parted to make way for each other.

Su Wanwan nodded slightly, turned around with neither arrogance nor servility, and walked towards the grain convoy.

The general's command came from behind, and the army regrouped and quickly disappeared into the distance.

Su Xian's face was as white as paper, and her lips trembled as she couldn't speak.

Su Wanwan got into the carriage, and the moment the curtain was lowered, she realized that her hands were trembling so badly that she couldn't even hold onto her sleeves.

"That was just a delaying tactic. We'll split into three groups from now on!" Su Wanwan handed the jade pendant to Su Xian and the forged secret edict to the servant. "If we encounter government troops, just say what I just said! Remember, survival is the most important thing!!!"

Old Ji, you go first! Take the longest path! Su Xian, you take the right path. I'll cut off the tail!! Take the shortest path in the middle.

This man will return from his patrol today and will definitely report back tonight, so we only have one day to escape! Leave immediately!

Su Xian looked at Sister Wan; she was going to use herself as bait.

The Crown Prince shouldn't make things difficult for Sister Wan.

"When you see Lord Fengchen, tell him that survival is the most important thing." Su Wanwan jumped onto the carriage. "Let's go!"

Su Wanwan drove the carriage as fast as she could, trying to make as many tracks as possible on it.

By evening, Su Wanwan was exhausted. She had been dragging ten horses along the road by herself, and was already weary.

The night sky was dark and cold all around.

Occasionally, she could hear the sounds of wild animals running around, and their scent would waft to her nose from time to time; she was frightened.

The speed gradually decreased.

After midnight, she was so exhausted that she found a safe place to stop and rest.

She had just lain down when she heard hurried footsteps. She lifted the curtain and saw torches coming towards her.

Su Wanwan got up, dressed, cut the reins, and rode her horse wildly into the woods.

Su Wanwan spurred her horse into the woods, the torches behind her burning fiercely.

The branches stung her face and shoulders, but she couldn't dodge. She just clung tightly to the horse's back, listening to the approaching hoofbeats and harsh curses behind her.

"Don't let her get away!"

"Chase!"

Su Wanwan bit her lip.

A shallow ditch appeared ahead, and the moment the horse's hoof stepped into it, its legs buckled and it tumbled forward.

Su Wanwan was thrown out, her shoulder and back slamming heavily against a tree trunk, the pain making her vision go black for a moment.

Before she could catch her breath, she struggled to her feet, the torchlight behind her already illuminating half the forest.

A dozen or so cavalrymen rushed into the open space and surrounded her.

The leader dismounted, strode up to her, grabbed her collar, and lifted her off the ground.

"Why are you running!" The man's voice was as cold as ice.

Su Wanwan stared at his face; it wasn't the general who had let them pass during the day, but someone else.

After that person returned, he probably reported it overnight, and the higher-ups sent even more astute people to chase after him.

She didn't speak.

The man threw her to the ground and ordered those behind him, "Tie her up. Take her back."

Two soldiers stepped forward and pressed down on her shoulders.

The rope dug into the flesh of her wrist, causing her to gasp in pain.

"Where's the grain convoy?!" the man shouted. He had chased after them earlier, but the carts were loaded with stones; there was no sign of grain.

"I want to see the Crown Prince," Su Wanwan said through gritted teeth.

"You think you can just see the Crown Prince whenever you want? Everyone from the capital is a fraud!" The man threw her onto his horse. "Come on, take him back! Let the brothers have some fun with him!!"

The soldiers laughed mockingly.

The horse handler slapped her on the backside, "Behave yourself!!"

Su Wanwan frowned. "Don't touch me!!! I need to see the Crown Prince!!"

"His Highness has ordered that no woman from the capital is allowed to see the Crown Prince! What kind of good people are you!" The man walked up to her and sneered at her.

The carriage bumped along the way until dawn broke, and finally the camp of Prince Changxin came into view.

The tents were spread out densely along the foot of the mountain, stretching as far as the eye could see.

Smoke rises from the chimneys, mingling with the morning mist.

The air was filled with a mixture of smells from horse manure, leather, and boiled corn.

As she passed through the camp gate, the sentries on both sides glanced at her before turning their gazes away expressionlessly.

"Get down!" The soldier leading the horse pulled her down by the arm. As soon as Su Wanwan's feet touched the ground, her legs went weak and she almost knelt down.

She was pushed into the tent.

The tent was lined with dry grass, and several blackened quilts were piled in the corner. A damp, musty smell permeated the air.

Inside sat several trembling women.

"Stay put!" the soldier said, then lowered the tent flap.

Su Wanwan glanced at the imprisoned women. "Are you military prostitutes?"

The men looked at her without replying, their eyes glazed over, heads bowed, hugging their legs.
