Chapter 1348: Chapter 1147: Chase After_1 Chapter 1348: Chapter 1147: Chase After_1 Yang Wenxiao looked at Qiao Xiaomai’s tear-stained little face and was silent for a mont before speaking, “Three days, if there’s no news from him after three days, then I will have soone escort you out of the palace to find him.”
The journey from the Capital City to Dingzhou’s Cloud Lake required three days. If one were to urge the horse on at full speed day and night, a ssage should be able to be sent back within that ti.
By then, there would be a clear answer as to whether the person could be saved or not.
Upon hearing this, Xiaomai continued to bite her lip, blood continuously oozing out from her lips as if she felt nothing, her stubborn eyes fixated on Yang Wenxiao, refusing to budge even an inch, “No, I have to see him right now.”
Three days, in three days a body could already begin to decompose.
She had to go right now.
Yang Wenxiao “…”
Under the candlelight, tear tracks glistened on Xiaomai’s little face, and the teardrops in her eyes seed ready to fall, yet she still stared straight at him, her attitude resolute.
She must go.
She must go now.
He couldn’t help but let out a deep sigh, “Alright, I’ll let you go. I’ll find soone to escort you there imdiately.”
There was no stopping her.
These lovesick fools, there was no stopping them.
“Thank you, Your Highness!” Xiaomai quickly expressed her gratitude.
“You should rest for a bit first. I’ll have a palace maid prepare so travel belongings for you,” Yang Wenxiao said as he stood up. He called Ren Zhong over and ordered Ren Zhong to call in the Imperial Guards.
This trip to Dingzhou must proceed without any issues for Xiaomai; he would have to arrange for her protection.
Ren Zhong, with the Military Order Token in hand, personally went to the military camp outside the city to gather five thousand elite soldiers. By the ti it was barely light, everything was ready.
Ren Zhong led the way, personally escorting Xiaomai with five thousand Imperial Guards to Dingzhou.
Xiaomai rode a horse alongside Ren Zhong as they quickly left the Capital City.
She knew how to ride, but did not do so often. Now, with the situation being urgent, riding a horse was necessary because riding in a carriage would be too slow.
They rode on for a day, five thousand fully ard n on horseback, stirring up clouds of dust and thunderous hoofbeats as they passed, making all passersby keep their distance.
In the evening, Ren Zhong suggested that Xiaomai stop to rest and set up camp. Truthfully, even soone skilled in martial arts would feel exhausted after riding for an entire day, let alone Xiaomai, who was not well-practiced. He could see that she had been persevering through gritted teeth the whole day.
Xiaomai pursed her lips and nodded. The inside of her thighs had beco chafed and were stinging painfully. Indeed, she needed to rest.
The five thousand soldiers found a riverside to stop, eat and rest.
Each person carried Stead Buns, and upon stopping, they boiled so water in pots, making do for a al.
Xiaomai quietly replaced the water in the pot with water from the Spiritual Spring, the only thing she could do at this mont.
Being the only woman, Ren Zhong chopped so branches for her and made a fra, covering it with a bedsheet to create a makeshift tent. She sat inside the tent and gently applied ointnt from her space onto her thighs.
The night passed quickly, and everyone continued their journey at dawn.
On the third day, they finally reached the territory of Dingzhou. At the sa ti, they received a ssage from the scouts of the Divine Crossbow Team ahead: The Zhang Family had moved to Yuhu, and Tong Sanlang had already pursued them there, with the Divine Crossbow Team also heading to Yuhu.
Yuhu, a coastal prefecture of Daqi, was located in the southeast of Daqi and was a month’s journey away from Dingzhou.
If one hurried on without stopping day and night, it could take half a month to reach.
Xiaomai “…”
Looking at the Divine Crossbow Team mber before her who wore half a mask, her heart sank to the bottom, “He has gone after them?”
“He has. He left a ssage on a tree nearby; soone has already gone to report to His Highness,” the man replied.
