Just as Qin Xi’s mouth was being covered, two more figures flashed out from the side, quickly dragging the two fallen guards outside into the tent.

“Mmph mmph mmph…”

Qin Xi struggled.

But the person’s strength was really too great, continuously dragging her inward.

The young women inside the tent, seeing those three people, were all so frightened they huddled together, trembling, not daring to make a sound.

Just as Qin Xi continued struggling—

“Don’t scream. We won’t hurt you.”

It was Lang Bo!

He was the one covering Qin Xi’s mouth.

Two guards had come with him.

Qin Xi could sense that the newcomers had no intention of harming them, so she quieted down.

No longer struggling.

Thus, Lang Bo released her.

She immediately shrank to one side, staring with eyes both frightened and dewy at the tall figure before her.

“You…” Who are you?

Because it was very dark inside the tent, she couldn’t see clearly.

Lang Bo vigilantly lifted the curtain to look outside before saying, “Don’t worry, we won’t hurt you.”

The young women could sense they had no malicious intent.

Gradually, they let down their guard.

Lang Bo looked around the tent, only seeing a few young women huddled together. He didn’t seem to see Ji Yinshu’s figure.

Not here?

He quickly lowered his voice and asked, “Among the captured people, is there a woman named Ji Yinshu?”

Ji Yinshu?

Everyone looked at each other.

Then shook their heads.

Qin Xi sniffled and said, “No… haven’t heard of such a person.” Her voice trembled.

“Think again carefully.” He grew anxious.

“We were all separately locked in different prisoner carts. The captured people… were probably around twenty-some. I don’t know about the Ji Yinshu you mentioned.”

“Do you all know each other?”

Everyone shook their heads.

Lang Bo and his men had searched all the way from that forest to here, and had also learned that the Yuedan people had brought back a group of women. So they estimated that Ji Yinshu must have been captured, which was why they had immediately snuck in under cover of darkness. But if Ji Yinshu wasn’t here, how could they search this vast grassland?

Qin Xi said, “I don’t know if the person you’re looking for is here or not. There are about twenty-some of us in total. Perhaps… she’s already been taken away.”

“Taken where?”

“Those beasts!” Qin Xi cursed through tears. “They captured us just for their pleasure.”

Like a bolt of lightning striking Lang Bo on the head.

If… something happened to Miss Ji, his prince would probably want to die.

The next moment, Qin Xi suddenly grabbed the corner of his clothing and raised her face, which she had smeared pitch black, pleading, “Please save us and take us out of here. If we stay here any longer, we’ll surely die.”

There was only dim light in the tent. He couldn’t see the true appearance of the woman before him, only feeling that her entire face was dark, but those clear eyes held tears.

Lang Bo was a rough old man, so seeing such a pitiful woman inevitably made his heart ache!

“This…”

Wasn’t this making things difficult for him?

This place was Yuedan’s military camp, with Yuedan people keeping tight watch outside. If they didn’t have martial arts skills, they probably couldn’t have entered either. Now, if they had to take these women who had no ability to defend themselves and leave, it would certainly be difficult—no, it would simply be impossible.

“Young lady, we want to save you too, but…”

Before he finished speaking—

“Please, I beg you. If you don’t take us with you, we’ll all die here.”

The young women huddled together all began pleading, “Please, we beg you, save us.”

“Please, we beg you.”

…

Their voices grew louder.

To them, these three people who had appeared before them were like a lifeline.

They had to grab hold!

Suddenly—

“Someone’s coming.” A guard warned.

Lang Bo immediately told everyone to be quiet.

After the patrol outside left, Lang Bo could only say helplessly, “We really can’t take you with us right now.”

“Wuu wuu wuu…” The young women cried softly.

Their crying made Lang Bo’s heart tremble.

Rough old men couldn’t stand seeing women cry the most!

The two guards were also very troubled.

They leaned in and said quietly to Lang Bo, “How about… we save them all?”

“Finding Miss Ji is the most urgent matter.”

“If Miss Ji really is in this military camp, she would definitely save them too.”

“Let’s go meet with the prince first and ask his opinion.”

“Right.”

On another side.

Jingrong and Shi Ziran had also entered the camp. They had already quietly searched through more than half the military camp.

Still couldn’t find Ji Yinshu.

Jingrong was like a madman. If he didn’t turn this place completely upside down, he absolutely wouldn’t give up.

To find Ji Yinshu, he had gone two whole days without rest, hadn’t closed his eyes once. Ji Yinshu had been lost from his side. That worry and guilt kneaded together were almost torturing him to the point where death would be preferable. If he couldn’t find her, he really didn’t know what to do.

In Ji Yinshu’s small tent, the grassland at night was extremely cold. She had nothing beside her, not even a blade of straw. The cold wind penetrated the tent, wantonly blowing on her continuously. That kind of cold made her shiver directly, cold to the bone. Only by tightly hugging her knees could she barely get some warmth.

“Thump…”

A commotion came from outside.

She raised her head, her face vigilant.

Involuntarily clenching her fists.

Until the moment the tent curtain was lifted—

She saw a figure and face that were incomparably familiar to her.

Jingrong?

Unbelievable.

Yet also within expectations. She knew he would definitely find her, would definitely come to rescue her.

Her waiting had not been in vain.

When Jingrong saw Ji Yinshu, his heart suddenly trembled. That woman was sitting on the ice-cold ground, her clothing torn open, and she was covered in blood. In almost an instant, his mind went completely blank.

“Yunshu…”

Ji Yinshu’s eyes immediately reddened. She stood up and went toward him, throwing herself into his embrace.

The familiar scent on the man reminded her that he had truly come.

Jingrong seemed afraid to touch her, thinking she was injured all over. “Your wounds?”

She shook her head. “I’m fine.”

“I’m sorry, I’m sorry…”

He apologized over and over.

These two days had almost exhausted all his rationality.

Ji Yinshu raised her head from his embrace and looked up at him.

“I knew you would find me. I knew it.”

His brows furrowed tightly, his gaze noticing Ji Yinshu’s injured neck. He immediately grew tense. “Your neck?”

“It’s just a minor wound. Medicine has been applied. This blood on me isn’t mine either. You don’t need to worry.” She understood what Jingrong was worried about.

Seeing her safe and sound, Jingrong finally felt at ease.

Shi Ziran, who was keeping watch, noticed the situation outside and said, “Your Highness, Miss Ji, we should leave quickly.”

Jingrong then gripped her hand tightly.

This time, he would never let go again.
