Qin Rui left early the next morning. He rushed to Fringe City alone. Arriving at a tavern, Qin Rui pushed the shop assistant who was in his way and entered the room. There were already people waiting inside, and when they saw him enter, they all stood up and called out "Master".

His sharp eyes fell on one of them.

"Where is the little young master?"

The man suddenly knelt down again, along with several others beside him.

"little young master... It's gone. "

His voice suddenly sank. "Lost?"

"There was an older man following beside little young master. He was very careful, the moment our people found little young master, he took our young master and ran away."

Qin Rui laughed. His laugh was so cold that everyone's heart hung to their throats.

"All of you should be glad that I'm in the midst of using manpower. Otherwise, you won't even have a corpse left." He turned his gaze back to someone. "What about the person you're looking at?"

"Liu San has fought with the great army twice, so he does have some guts, but he was able to escape safely. After that, I sent the two letters home to the Manager Zhang. "

Qin Rui nodded, his eyes revealing a look of satisfaction. little young master must find that person as soon as possible, I will only stay here for three days, if there is no news within three days, you know the consequences. "

Around dusk, Qin Rui received the news and rushed over to a restaurant in Fringe City. After entering a private room upstairs, he moved a chair over and sat down.

The words next door were nothing more than the usual ones. There was a young man talking nonstop, and occasionally someone beside him answered.

"Sigh, say something. It feels like you're the head of a cow. I'll smack you and you'll move!"

"Yes."

The corner of Qin Rui's mouth raised into a faint smile. Liu San was indeed a man, as long as he went out he would be a swindler.

The youngster was a bit angry. He moved his chair and left the room, slamming the door shut as he did so. Qin Rui heard the Liu San next door sigh and followed him out.

When there was indeed no sound from the other side, Qin Rui then called over his subordinates who had been standing guard at the door the whole time as if they were facing a great enemy.

"Who was that woman who slammed the door?"

"She is Mu Jue's direct sister, Mu Qing. She has been raised and raised as a man in the army."

Qin Rui understood, and revealed a deep meaning.

Only until the night of the third day did someone return to Qin Rui.

"little young master found it."

Qin Rui was startled, "Where?"

In a shabby house somewhere in Fringe City, it was the first time Qin Rui saw this little young master. When he was young, he had followed his father into the palace to meet the emperor of the previous dynasty. At that time, he felt that even though this emperor wasn't as wise, he still possessed the aura of an emperor.

The youngster in front of him was a bit younger than him. He wore coarse clothes, and one of his shoes had a hole in it, revealing his long black socks. The youth was a bit timid and carefully hid his foot.

This person was so ordinary, yet he did not have the slightest bit of heaven's grandeur. He looked like a villager, far different from the little young master that he had imagined.

Qin Rui was a little disappointed, but no matter how hard he looked, he was still able to find some traces of the previous emperor from this youth's face.

When that happened, his father, as a general, would tell him again and again to find the fleeing noblewoman and the child in her womb. In the future, regardless of who became the emperor, he would need to use this child as a title.

Qin Rui frowned slightly. This was good too, he seemed like an obedient child.

"You're the son of General Qin?"

Only then did he notice the old man beside the young man. His body was thin and his back was hunched. His appearance was no different from that of a young man. Only his eyes remained calm.

This old man already knew his identity, but he still wanted to escape with little young master. It was likely that he had thought of using the little young master's name to rebel a long time ago. He had been preparing for this matter for far too long. He had done far too many things that he could not turn back from. As long as it was someone who stopped him, they should all die.

An hour later, Qin Rui brought little young master away. little young master turned around and glanced at the shabby house, then asked him: "How long do you think it will take for Uncle Chen to do something?"

"That's hard to say. Maybe a year, or three years, or maybe ten days to half a month."

The little young master nodded, "Then tell him to come back quickly."

"Alright."

Qin Rui brought little young master to the inn, but there were already people waiting there. They sent the little young master to the horse carriage and teleported the entire night. His men came back to him and told him that the old fart had been killed and that they had cleaned up the area. They would not let anyone find any traces of him.

He nodded in satisfaction. "That's good."

He said that he would be leaving after three days, but in reality, Qin Rui had been staying in Fringe City for nearly a month. He had nothing better to do, so he wandered the streets of Fringe City. Either he went to a restaurant to drink, or he went there to listen to news that was different from what his subordinates were reporting to him. Or he could go to a brothel and listen to music, and when Lady Ren secretly gave him permission, he would shake her hand and leave, even shamelessly reneging on his debt twice.

He waited for the day of the battle to finally arrive. When he heard that there was a spy in the army and the secrets of the generals were sold out, the city gates were broken. Just as the enemy troops were about to enter the city, General Mu Jue, who was guarding the border, brought his men to beat those barbarians back and chased them out.

Qin Rui had long been waiting on the road. The few people beside him all had long bows in hand, waiting for someone surnamed Mu to come over.

With the sound of horse hooves, the one in the lead was Mu Jue. Mu Jue was clad in armor, and his body was tall and sturdy. His entire body carried a bloodthirsty domineering aura, a feeling that one would only get after many years of fighting on the battlefield. Qin Rui raised his eyebrows, he was truly a powerful character.

With Mu Jue in the Great Chong, the path of his rebellion wouldn't be easy.

Suddenly, Qin Rui's pupils constricted, and he saw the similarly muscular man beside Mu Jue, whom he was extremely familiar with.

Something flashed past his mind, Qin Rui took his bow and arrows, nocked his bow, found the right time, and with a swoosh, shot the arrow out.

"Master!"

A few of his subordinates looked at Qin Rui in shock, suspecting that his arrow could have hit Mu Jue, but it had actually missed. At the moment, Mu Jue's army was in chaos, they already knew that there was an ambush on the way and retreated back to the city. They had planned this perfectly, and it was all ruined by this arrow!

Many soldiers had died in the military camp. There were also many casualties among the citizens of Fringe City. Compared to the Fringe City from a month ago, it was like a different world. This battle had almost cost Fringe City, but when the little emperor was furious, he almost wanted to punish General Mu. I heard that someone blocked an arrow for General Mu on the way back, and saved his life. However, when that person brought him back to the city, he was already dead.

That person was Liu San.

When Qin Rui told Duan Xiaohe of this news, Little Yixiu, who hadn't even completed five months ago, had already slumped down on the ground. That small face was so pale that not a single trace of blood could be seen in it. Its eyes were empty and lifeless, like a person that had lost their soul.

He felt his heart ache. He wanted to help her up, but just as his hand moved, it was once again lowered to both sides of his body and tightly held onto her.

"You're lying." She looked up sharply. "You lied to me."

Qin Rui tightened his fist, "I didn't lie to you, you don't believe that you can go to South Zhangzhou, you can go to Fringe City. I don't have to lie to you about this. "

Tears immediately flowed out from her eyes, Duan Xiaohe hugged the child tightly and ran towards the village entrance. Qin Rui stopped her and asked where she was going.

She was in a daze for a moment, then said that she was going to Mingan County, and that she was going to look for Mo Jinyuan.

Qin Rui pinched the center of his brows. Mo Jinyuan already returned to the capital a few years ago, are you going to look for him there? "

Beijing!

Duan Xiaohe's heart immediately tightened. He would be fine if he went to the capital, but if he went there, he would immediately look for Liu Yang. Even if Liu San did not die, she would make Liu Yang call him back. Her man, if he was alive, he wanted to see people's corpses!

Seeing her determination, Qin Rui immediately snatched the child in her arms. Wake up, even if you go to the capital, or to the borders, the Liu San is already dead, he won't be able to come back! "

"He can come back!" Duan Xiaohe hysterically cried out a few times, "He said that he would come back, so he will definitely come back!"

She suddenly stared straight at Qin Rui. If you stop me from going to the capital, could it be that you are afraid that I will find out the truth? "

Duan Xiaohe grabbed him by the collar, and tightly gritted her teeth. "If you are not afraid that I would know something, you must stop me from asking!"

Qin Rui said magnanimously, "Then go, I'll bring the child with you."

"She snatched the child away and stared at him coldly." "No need."

Duan Xiaohe had indeed gone to the capital, but she did not enter the palace. Instead, she went to look for Mo Jinyuan, and the news she received was exactly the same as what Qin Rui had said. At that time, Duan Xiaohe had fainted in Mo Jinyuan's residence, and when she woke up, she cried several more times.

The Little County Princess entered the palace to look for the little emperor a few times, to have him bring the corpse back first, but there were too many people dying on the battlefield, either they were buried or they were burnt together, how could they tell which one was the Liu San?

When Duan Xiaohe heard this, he cried once more. It was only when she heard Little Yixiu cry that she recovered her composure and gradually accepted the truth.

The little emperor personally came over and advised her twice. She stubbornly refused to believe that the Liu San was already dead. When the little Emperor left, she entrusted Little Yixiu to the Little County Princess and went to Fringe City alone.

Reaching Fringe City, Duan Xiaohe went straight to the military camp, grabbed a person and asked about the whereabouts of the Liu San. A handsome young man on horseback, dressed in a military uniform, looked at her coldly and asked her who she was.

She directly said that she was Liu San's daughter-in-law, and that person gave her an extra glance.

"You are Liu San's wife? I've never heard that he has a wife. "

Duan Xiaohe was overjoyed in her heart, and hurriedly went forward. You know my hubby? Where is he? Can you take me in, or can you call him out and I'll see him before I go? "

A glint flashed across the handsome young master's eyes. Liu San is dead. "

After saying that, he had his men chase Duan Xiaohe away, saying that no one was allowed to stay in the front of the army camp. Right after sending Duan Xiaohe away, another person came up from behind, riding a tall horse, with a baleful aura.

"Mu Qing, what are you doing here?"
