Remarrying Chun Yuan

Chapter 118 Chase

Qin Yongshang was about to get angry, "I'm doing this sincerely for the sake of the Third Prince. I can't act on impulse, or I'll suffer a great loss!"

"But His Highness the Third Prince is a man of great wealth and honor, and he has tried to communicate with the eldest prince, but without success. Great Qi is indeed not as good as Meng, but it should still have the backbone it deserves."

Wei Gongming stood tall and spoke with unwavering resolve, "To be frank, Qin Yongshang seems to have been pampered for too long. He's too weak-willed. If he always backs down, the soldiers of Qi will never win a battle." He subtly stabbed Qin Yongshang in the back, kicking him while he was down.

Qin Yong gritted his teeth, secretly cursing Wei Gongming as a complete fool.

To Qin Muyan's surprise, she gave Wei Gongming a thumbs up, saying, "Well said!"

"Your Highness, we can't..." Qin Yong was interrupted by Qin Muyan before he could finish his persuasion.

"You don't need to say anything more. You can be soft on everything, but you can't be spineless!"

Qin Muyan then turned her gaze to Wei Gongming, "You continue to investigate Yuwen Chan's whereabouts. If you do well this time, I will definitely guarantee you a sixth-rank official position!" He had indeed suffered too much injustice this time and had begun to question Qin Yongshang's abilities.

If they had listened to Wei Gongming and wholeheartedly supported Yuwen Chan, this hot-button and heartbreaking incident wouldn't have happened today!

He had long known that Wei Gongming had a keen eye for talent, so why didn't he listen this time?!

Wei Gongming was very excited and immediately accepted the order to express his gratitude. However, before he could say anything touching about his surrender, someone rushed over to report: "Your Highness, Yuwen Chan has appeared!"

"?!?!" Qin Muyan's hands trembled with excitement. "Where is it? Who found it? Has it been caught?"

"Not yet, it's on East Street."

"Hurry up and go with them. You must capture Yuwen Chan before the Golden Feather Guards!"

"Yes!"

Wei Gongming hurriedly returned to the county government office to mobilize troops.

At this time, the crown prince also received the same news.

As expected, Zhang Xinyan was scolded again.

On his way to find Yuwen Chan, he was puzzled: how could he still be alive?! He had been poisoned and stabbed more than twenty times; even the strongest Mongol could not withstand that!

If he really captures Yuwen Chan, he must test the poison again to see if it is genuine. If it is not, he must force him to reveal how he cured it!

……

The Golden Feather Guards were mobilized in large numbers, and the county government also mobilized all its yamen runners. In an instant, the capital was once again completely surrounded, with two groups of people dividing into four routes to encircle the city from the outside.

With this method of capture, not even a dog could escape, let alone a person!

Yuwen Chan never expected that he would be targeted simply because he was starving and grabbed two bowls of beef noodles on the roadside.

In the past, he would have killed the people behind him long ago.

But now his whole body is bound with bandages, his limbs are weak, and even if he can stagger and run in small steps, he can't escape the people behind him at all.

He was like a mouse being targeted by a cat, being teased and toyed with. This feeling of being bullied by the strong and the weak was absolutely terrible!

"It wasn't me! It wasn't me!" he cried out in his heart, but to no avail.

He instantly understood why the person who had made him risk his life for him had said those words.

Is it possible to turn back now?

He secretly hid for two days, moving through the streets and alleys. Not only did he fail to shake off the eyes behind him, but he was also watched by even more people.

He also saw wanted posters on the wall, all stating that he had assassinated Yuwen Chen, and therefore they were making every effort to capture him.

He even wrote that anyone who provided information about him would be rewarded with one hundred taels of silver.

Only then did he realize how valuable his life was. If he were caught, not only would the people of Daqi want him dead, but the people of Meng would not let him live either...

So what was the purpose of his life?

He had no interest in thinking about the answer.

"He's there!" a constable suddenly recognized him.

Wei Gongming was also there at that moment. He immediately looked into the alley and saw a burly figure in tattered clothes running ahead.

"Catch him at all costs, dead or alive!"

"Yes!"

The county yamen runners also risked their lives because Wei Gongming said that the Third Prince would reward them with an extra hundred taels for this arrest!

Yuwen Chan cursed and ran quickly. Finding himself with nowhere to go, he could only leap up and jump over the wall again!

But this time, when he jumped, no one was there to catch him. He fell and saw stars. When he looked up again, he saw a little girl holding a shovel, staring intently at him.

"Who are you? Don't come any closer!" Liu Yuechan was digging soil in the corner to plant Sichuan peppercorns when someone suddenly jumped over the wall!

Yuwen Chan snatched the shovel away and grabbed her by the neck. "Don't make a sound. Take me back to your room, or I'll kill you!"

Liu Yuechan was so frightened that she raised her little hand and immediately burst into tears.

Yuwen Chan had no choice but to immediately cover her mouth, fearing that she would be discovered by others, and hurriedly found a room to hide in!

At this time, the county yamen runners also arrived at this place, but when they saw this wall, they dared not jump over it.

Wei Gongming also rushed over, asking, "Why haven't you turned it over?"

"This is the west courtyard of the Liu family," the yamen runner said.

Wei Gongming was taken aback, and only then did he realize which street it was. It's no wonder he couldn't remember; he rarely visited the Liu family in his previous life.

Even when she went back to her parents' home to visit relatives, Liu Yuechu almost always returned alone.

"Leave eight men to keep watch, you all come with me to the Liu family!"

……

At this time, Liu Yuechu heard that Wei Gongming was going to investigate the Liu family because some yamen runners had seen Yuwen Chan appear under the wall of the west courtyard, which left him speechless.

how?

They couldn't even find him, yet Yuwen Chan walked right into their trap?

“Searching the courtyard isn’t out of the question, but shouldn’t we have a search warrant? Shouldn’t you ask a few more questions, Granny Fang? Our family needs to maintain some decorum.” Liu Yuechu used Granny Fang as a shield, as she wanted to go check the west side first.

Granny Fang comes from a princess's family; her status alone makes her someone the constables wouldn't dare to approach. Besides, what kind of situation calls for a search? It's utterly disrespectful to the Liu family!

Liu Yuechu sent Huajiao to the study to find Yuan Cuo, while she hurriedly took Liu Muchi to the west.

Liu Yuechan was trembling with fear. Compared to the burly man in front of her, she was like a chick that could be picked up at any moment!

Yuwen Chan was wolfing down his food, not expecting that there was so much food in Liu Yuechan's room.

Is there any water?

"Oh, yes, I'll go get it..."

"Stop!" Yuwen Chan immediately rebuked, "You people of Daqi, you're already lying at such a young age? Isn't that just water?!" He pointed to the water jug ​​on the corner table.

“No, that’s not it,” Liu Yuechan quickly explained.

But Yuwen Chan wouldn't listen to her words. He picked her up and made her drink a mouthful, but then spat it out!

"What is this? It's so bitter, and it's numb again!" The more he spoke, the less effective his tongue seemed, as if it had lost all feeling.

Liu Yuechan sighed, "I told you not to drink, but you just wouldn't believe me."

But before Yuwen Chan could utter another curse, he collapsed with a thud!

A heavy, loud bang shook the ground.

Liu Yuechu had just reached the entrance of the courtyard when she heard the sound and was startled!
