Faced with Xie Yao's question, General Xie and Xie Wenwu were both speechless.
Indeed, as Xie Yao said, they can step forward and let themselves be in danger alone, but they cannot watch their loved ones in danger and remain indifferent.
"In this investigation, we will advance and retreat together! No one can advance alone, and no one can leave first!" Xie Yao looked at the expressions of the two of them, with a firm and happy smile on her lips.
She is lucky to have such a grandfather and such a brother!
"Okay! I listen to you! Let's advance and retreat together!" Xie Wenwu understood the determination in Xie Yao's eyes, and also the happiness!
The corners of his lips were slightly raised, and the corners of his eyes were raised. He felt that there was infinite power in his heart, and no difficulty could stop them!
The two looked at each other and smiled, showing a perfect understanding!
General Xie looked at the harmonious brother and sister, and the wrinkles in the corners of his eyes became deeper. Although they hid all the vicissitudes of life, they also hid boundless happiness.
"In that case, let's do this together! After we're done, we'll leave together!" Old General Xie said with a smile, a glint of light flashed in the corner of his eye, and disappeared without a trace.
Li Qiye stood aside and smiled when he saw this scene.
It had been a long time since he had seen the old general smile so purely and thoroughly.
Although he left the capital, the old general was happier and everyone was happier too, which was a good thing.
"Yao'er, you bandage up Wenwu first. Let's go out and search to see if we can find anything to help us reach Dongao Country faster. After all, we have to go more than ten miles, and walking on foot is not good for Wenwu's injuries." Mr. Xie
The general said something and took Mo Li out.
Xie Yao took a look and didn't stop him.
Everyone here has long since fled, and it has been burned by the fire. It may be difficult to find transportation.
However, Xie Wenwu's injury was a bit serious, and it would be a good thing if he could avoid walking long distances.
"Sister, are you just going to follow us out of the capital and leave Wanqi Country?" Xie Wenwu lay motionless, letting Xie Yao heal his wounds, and suddenly spoke.
Xie Yao's hand movements paused, and Chu Han's figure instantly appeared in front of her eyes.
She just left like that?
Yes, she did leave just like that!
This must have been decided before she left that letter to Chu Han.
"I'm already here to heal your wounds, is there anything left to question?" She asked with a smile, her tone controlled very relaxedly.
There was no smile on Xie Wenwu's face, but a bit solemn, but he didn't speak again.
He knew very well that his sister liked Chu Han, but now she had to leave.
Seeing that the atmosphere was suddenly tense, Xie Yao's eyes dimmed for a moment, and she changed the subject and said, "Brother, you said before that the appearance of the people of Dong'ao is different from ours, so it would be dangerous for us to rush there?"
Hearing this, Xie Wenwu regained his composure and nodded slightly, "That's true. Although they are connected to our country, there are some differences in appearance, perhaps because of the water and soil. If you don't look carefully, you won't notice anything, but if you look closely,
You can tell the difference just by looking at it.”
"People from the Dong'ao Kingdom will be recognized by the people in Jiangning City at a glance. However, our people do not reject the people of the Dong'ao Kingdom, because the war was initiated by the people above and has nothing to do with the people."
Xie Yao stared and thought for a while. In her impression, she had seen a few people from the Dong'ao country, and their appearance was indeed somewhat different from that of the people from the Wanqi country.
"Don't worry about this, I have a way to make us look exactly like the people in Dong'ao Country!" She said confidently.
Her disguise technique is overkill when used here. She only needs to adjust her makeup to make up for the difference in this aspect.
Xie Wenwu looked sideways at Xie Yao, and just as he was about to speak, General Xie walked in from outside with a happy look on his face.
"We were lucky! Although we didn't find the carriage, we found a cart and a few dogs who had escaped from death and guarded the home. They were just big enough to pull the cart! Although the road was bumpy, we could go faster.
Cross the border!" General Xie spoke very quickly, and his overall mental state was much better than before.
At this time, several dog barks of varying lengths were heard outside.
Xie Yao pondered for a moment, "Then we have to set off as soon as possible, and it's best to tie the mouths of those dogs to prevent their barking from attracting pursuers! We can untie them after we cross the border."
Old General Xie nodded, "Well said! Li Qiye, tie the dogs' muzzles so they can't continue to bark!"
"Yes!" Li Li responded.
…
An hour later, not far from the charred house, a group of cavalry passed by, each holding a shining steel knife in their hands.
"Footprints were found here! They should be those of the rebels! But the footprints were deliberately destroyed and it is impossible to determine the direction in which they left!"
"Search! Dig three feet within a radius of 100 meters and search carefully! Don't let go of any clues!"
"yes!"
…
Imperial Palace, Imperial Study Room.
Emperor Zhaochu looked at the guard kneeling in front of him with a gloomy expression. The entire imperial study was enveloped by a low air pressure that made it difficult to breathe.
"No trace?" Emperor Zhaochu's voice sounded very calm, as if there was no wave.
The guard who was kneeling on one knee turned pale and felt as if his neck was being strangled. He couldn't even breathe. He forced a voice out of his throat and said, "Yes."
"Where was the last trace found?" Emperor Zhaochu asked.
"Qi...Qi reported to the emperor in a village that was burned by fire. It is the territory of Jiangning City and is the place closest to the border." The guard reported truthfully.
Emperor Zhaochu narrowed his eyes coldly, "The border of Dong Ao Kingdom?"
"yes"
"How far is it from the border?"
"About ten miles or so."
Emperor Zhaochu was silent for a while, and then ordered: "Go down."
"Yes!" The guard quickly bowed and left as if he had received an amnesty.
After the guards left, Emperor Zhaochu's eyes suddenly became extremely gloomy, as if the light in the entire imperial study had dimmed.
"Dong Ao Kingdom? If you really defect to the enemy's country, I will make you irrecoverable and be reviled by the world forever!" Emperor Zhaochu's eyes narrowed slightly, but he could not hide the sinister and captivating light in his eyes.
After a while, Eunuch Liu suddenly came in and reported, "To report to the emperor, the imperial concubine ordered someone to send a message, saying that she wants you to go to Yonghua Palace at your convenience."
Emperor Zhaochu raised his eyes slightly and asked, "Did the mother-in-law say anything?"
"The Crown Princess didn't say anything." Eunuch Liu bowed.
"Go to Yonghua Palace, maybe I haven't been there to pay my respects to my mother for a long time." Emperor Zhaochu pondered for a moment and then ordered.
"Your Majesty, you have so many things to do, so you give all your time to the country." Seeing that the Emperor was in a bad mood, Eunuch Liu quickly patted the horse, and then raised his voice toward the outside: "Your Majesty, get up and drive to Yonghua Palace!"
