Lu Yue looked at the furious Wan Yulin and asked in a low voice. Wan Yulin looked at him gloomily, like an angry Lion about to bite a man to death. Lu Yue lowered his eyes and waited for his order.

“The armored soldiers sent to escort old thief Qin were all killed by the Emperor’s men. He won this game of chess, but it’s only temporary.

I don’t believe that old thief Qin is dead. As long as we find him, I’ll see how the Emperor can step down. A title for the traitor? Would the people who had lost their homes agree? If you disagree, they’ll rebel. The Barbarians are invading from the outside, and the people are rebelling from the inside. Haha, young Yongqi, I’ll make you unable to sleep and eat peacefully. You’ll be like a stray dog.”

Wan Yulin threw his head back and laughed, but his eyes were as sinister as a poisonous snake’s.

“General, the Imperial decree has already stated that Qin Feng is dead. Even if you find him, the Emperor will not admit it.”

Lu Yue reminded Wan Yulin. Wan Yulin’s expression was arrogant,

“As long as we can find him, I have a way to make him admit it.”

“Yes.”

Lu Yue nodded and then reported to Wan Yulin,

“The wooden team sent to find the iron mine has gone missing. This subordinate has already sent people to look for them, but until now, they have not been found, dead or alive.”

The five teams that Wan Yulin had sent out to look for the iron mine used the five elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth as their names. They had to send messenger pigeons to report their daily progress, but they had already been missing for a few days. The address they had last reported was in the direction of Jin City’s Mount Zhu, and they had lost contact with them after that.

Wan Yulin frowned and asked Lu Yue,

“Could the Emperor have discovered we were looking for an iron mine?”

“It’s possible. According to the information from the palace, the Emperor seems to have secretly trained a group of death warriors. I wonder what they are for?”

Lu Yue also felt that the Emperor had found out about the iron mine, and killing Captain Mu was a warning to them.

“Has the An family taken any action?”

Wan Yulin’s brows were tightly knitted, and his deep voice was muffled. He had already returned to his cold and indifferent appearance as if nothing had happened. His self-control was quite strong.

“It seems calm on the surface, but according to the intelligence, they bribed the Imperial Guards and have been on good terms with them. All the spies we sent in the Imperial Guards have been removed. The General is in danger when he enters the capital.”

Lu Yue advised Wan Yulin not to return to the capital city. The Emperor was far away, and the General was out of the Emperor’s reach. As long as the General returned to the encampment, the Emperor would not dare to act rashly. The Wan family was the safest.

” Yes, I’ll return to the encampment tomorrow. You’ll escort fourth brother’s body back to the capital.”

Wan Yulin was a conspirator and wary of everyone, especially the Emperor.

“Okay.”

Lu Yue cupped his hands and agreed. Wan Yulin continued,

“Order the search team to search under the name of a spy. Don’t mention Qin Feng’s name. Also, investigate the portrait of the man and woman you met at the relay station.”

“Okay.”

Wan Yulin paced back and forth in the room with a dark look in his eyes. He seemed to have to speed up and not take it slow. Lu Yue agreed and went to do it.

The iron armored Army searching on the official road was still strictly guarded. Every disaster victim had to be checked, and checkpoints were set up on the road to Su Zhou and Jin Zhou.

The Peach Blossom Cove’s escape team was blocked on the way to Su province. The iron armored Army interrogating them compared the portraits one by one in the name of catching the Barbarian spies.

Qiu Yue became obedient after she escaped death. Her throat was strangled so she couldn’t speak, and she was listless, as if she had lost her soul. It was as if she didn’t see the search of the armored Army and was immersed in her sadness.

She was not willing to be forced to marry when she arrived in Su Zhou, e wanted to wait for brother Shuisheng to return and use some powerful means to force him to marry her. However, when she thought of the terrible scene of being hung on a tree, would her brother kill her again for justice if she did?

She was not willing to accept it. After almost being captured by the bandits, Qiu Yue wore men’s clothes, which her mother had modified from her father’s clothes.

Qiu Yue was in a dilemma. Su Zhou was right in front of her. She wanted to escape several times, but in this desolate year, danger was everywhere. Once she left Peach Blossom Cove, she was like a fallen leaf anyone could step on. It was not safe even if she wore men’s clothes.

When the ironclad Army came over and saw the girl’s name on the travel Pass and household registration, they asked the girls dressed as women to stand together for inspection.

The girls were pushed together, and the strings that tied their hair were pulled out, revealing their women’s clothing. They were compared to the girls in the portrait.

Ji Xiaoying and Li Shuang’er immediately recognized Su Qing’s portrait. Ji Xiaoying’s first thought was to stand beside Qiu Yue. Li Shuang’er followed suit and stood by Qiu Yue’s side, guarding her tightly.

Qiu Yue had also seen Su Qing’s portrait. She had heard that they were looking for a spy, so Su Qing was the spy?

If she told these people about Su Qing, they could take her!

Qiu Yue trembled at this thought, and her eyes shone strangely. Ji Xiaoying noticed that something was wrong and warned her in a low voice,

“If you say anything about sister Su Qing, we’ll all be captured as spies.”

Qiu Yue looked at Ji Xiaoying and was shocked by her words. Those who were with spies were also spies. She had seen with her own eyes how the armored soldiers killed people. She only wanted Su Qing to die, not her mother and herself.

Just as Qiu Yue was hesitating, the armored soldiers had finished examining the portrait and left with it. After this scene, Ji Xiaoying and Li Shuang’er stared at Qiu Yue closely.

“Xiaoying, your brother is still in that portrait. How could I harm him?”

Qiu Yue said helplessly to Ji Xiaoying. She was still a little afraid of her impulsiveness from before. She would have reported her without hesitation if it was only Su Qing. Brother Shuisheng’s portrait was also hung on the city gate.

Ji Xiaoying did not believe her; no matter what she said, she would guard against her.

Qiu Yongkang saw that the government wanted Su Qing and Ji Shuisheng and wondered what had happened to them. He couldn’t help but speed up the progress of his journey to Su Zhou, hoping to find them there.

Su province was much more prosperous than Jin city, and its City area was also three times that of Jin City. It was on a plain and the great Xia Kingdom’s granary and trade hub. People from the north and south all liked to come to Su province for trade, and it was safer to be far away from Li City. Furthermore, the water and dry roads were well developed, making it a treasure land.

Su Zhou did not reject disaster victims like the previous few cities but did not allow many disaster victims to enter. They had to be people with families, travel passes, and a certain amount of financial resources to enter the city. This was to prevent the chaos caused by hungry disaster victims.

Portraits of Qin Feng, Ji Shuisheng, and Su Qing were hung at the city gate. Those who entered Su Prefecture had to compare them with the portraits.

Qiu Yongkang was afraid he would become a big target if there were too many people in the city, so he and Li Daniu drove the cart into the city to buy food. He asked the villagers of Peach Blossom Cove to find a safe place to rest and wait for him to return.

He had another essential purpose for coming here!
