(If someone asks for more updates, I'll add a hundred-word red packet or a five-hundred-word long comment.)

Chu Lian quickly agreed and told Sima Hui to hurry to the frontlines. She didn't want to waste any more time here.

For a moment, the silent camp became chaotic. Horns sounded one after another, and everyone entered a state of preparation for battle. The sound of horse hooves and soldiers' horns blared together.

Even though Chu Lian was in the tent, she could feel the tense atmosphere outside.

Wenqing and Wenlan were equally anxious.

"Third Young Madam, what should we do?" Wenlan asked with a frown.

Chu Lian stared at the fluttering tent curtains, "We'll stay in the camp while the frontlines are still fighting. There's no safer place in Liangzhou City than the rear camp. Moreover, General Sima's men are still there."

Wenqing nodded, and the two of them could only calm down. But just in case, Wenqing still went out and called Li Xing and Li Yue over. They discussed how to guard Chu Lian's tent.

Chu Lian was in no mood to read now. The Tuhun people had clearly used the strategy of delaying, and it was estimated that the northern border army would waste at least a month. They were hidden in the snowy mountains and had enough food. Moreover, the Tuhun people had special physiques and were much more resistant to the cold than the people of the Great Wu Dynasty.

But why would they suddenly gather troops to attack?

Chu Lian's almond-shaped eyes narrowed slightly. She thought about the current situation of the border army. There was only one possibility for this situation.

Someone snitched on them!

Only General Qian's trusted aides knew about Lu Zhou's matter. Even Sima Hui didn't know about He Changdi's mission.

It could only be General Qian's most trusted subordinates …

Thinking of this, Chu Lian felt a chill run down her spine. The border army was already in a difficult situation, and now there was a mole. If General Qian didn't handle it well, the entire border army would probably be wiped out before He Changdi's supplies arrived!

Wenqing saw Chu Lian's face instantly turn pale and jumped, "Third Young Madam, what's wrong?!"

Chu Lian waved her hand, "It's nothing, I'll be fine after some rest."

She thought about it and felt that this wasn't enough. She asked Wenqing to get a pen and ink, and she needed to write a letter.

A quarter of an hour later, the letter was written. Chu Lian found an envelope and hurriedly sealed it. She asked Li Xing, who was guarding the tent outside, to take Lu Zhou and immediately send the letter to He Changdi in the direction of Su City.

Although Li Xing didn't know what this letter represented, he didn't dare to delay for a moment. His mission was to listen to Chu Lian's orders, so no matter what he did, he wouldn't have any complaints.

By nightfall, a large half of the border army camp's soldiers were already gone. The cold wind blew against the general flags that were inserted into the camp, making them flutter about.

Even Sima Hui's female troops were only left with a team to look after them.

The last ray of light disappeared from the horizon, and snow began to fall again, covering the top of the tent.

Chu Lian didn't know what was wrong with her today. She felt uneasy for no reason. Although it was already dark, she didn't feel sleepy at all. Not only that, she even ordered Wenqing and Wenlan to pack up, as if doing so would make her feel more at ease.

Wenqing and Wenlan knew that their master was feeling uneasy, so they didn't say anything and let her do as she pleased.

They were already prepared. If the border army was defeated, they would risk their lives to escape with Third Grandma. When that time came, they couldn't be lacking in things, so they packed like this to make sure they were prepared.

Suddenly, there was a noise outside the tent. Chu Lian, Wenqing and Wenlan pricked up their ears, and then they heard a female voice. "My lord, I have something to report."

Chu Lian let out a long sigh of relief. It turned out to be the voice of a female soldier who often came to guard her tent.

"Come in."

The tent curtain moved, and the female soldier came in. The light inside the tent was dim, and the female soldier lowered her head slightly. Her entire face was hidden in the darkness, so no one could see her facial features clearly.

Her voice was filled with anxiety as she panted, "My lord, this subordinate has just received news that Steward Qin's tent has been attacked!"

Chu Lian's expression changed. Manager Qin was attacked!

})();

The tent over there was filled with their supplies.

In that moment, she didn't think too much about it in her worry. She ordered, "Wenqing, bring some people with Li Yue and go take a look."

Wenqing nodded, took her weapon, and wrapped herself in a cloak. She immediately followed the female soldier out.

Chu Lian was a little dazed as she looked at the tent curtain that was moving slightly due to inertia. In that instant, her body suddenly stiffened.

The scene of the female soldier turning around and leaving the tent replayed in her mind.

No wonder she felt that something was wrong. It was her shoes!

The female soldier who had just come in was wearing soft-soled leather boots!

Because of the cold in the north, they had to follow Si Mahui onto the battlefield. Even if they were female soldiers, their boots would be badly worn out. Therefore, regardless of whether it was the soldiers under General Qian's banner or Si Mahui's, they all wore thick-soled boots that would keep them warm. The front of the boots was specially embedded with metal plates. This was to allow them to cause more damage to the enemy.

Although these thick boots were durable and practical, they were much heavier than normal boots. Coupled with the metal plates embedded in them, there was a slight clanking sound when they walked.

As for the female soldier who had just come in, her feet didn't make a sound when they landed on the ground. The boots on her feet were also light boots that made it easier to walk.

Chu Lian grabbed Wenlan's hand. Her expression was serious. "Wenlan, we've been tricked!

Quick, pack your things. We have to escape now! "

Wenlan couldn't hide her shock, but she instinctively obeyed Third Young Madam's words. Fortunately, she had been packing earlier. She stuffed the urgent items into Chu Lian's arms and had her put them away. Then, she wrapped Chu Lian in a fur coat and handed her a small dagger.

Wenlan picked up her backpack, grabbed her sword, and ran out of the tent with Chu Lian.

However, before the two of them could leave the tent, the tent's flap was opened from the outside, and three people came in.

The people who came in wore the armor of border soldiers. Their high collars covered half of their faces. They said in a slightly hoarse voice, "Country Lord, come with us!"

Wenqing and Li Yue brought a dozen guards and quickly arrived in front of Steward Qin's tent. They saw that the bonfire outside Steward Qin's tent was still lit and there were two soldiers guarding the camp outside. Although they were exhausted, they still stood straight.

Wenqing and Li Yue looked at each other, and their hearts thumped at the same time.

Li Yue's long eyebrows were tightly knitted together. "Miss Wenqing, take two people with you and stay here to look after Steward Qin. I'll take some people back!

I'm afraid we've fallen into a trap to lure the tiger away from the mountain! "

Li Yue grasped her sword and quickly left. Wenqing turned around to look for the female soldier who had brought them here, but she had already disappeared.

She stomped her feet in frustration and quickly walked to the front of the tent.

At this moment, Steward Qin seemed to have heard the commotion outside. He put on his clothes and opened the tent flap. He saw Wenqing standing in front of his tent with a face full of regret and anger. He asked curiously, "It's already so late. Why aren't you guarding Third Madam? What are you doing here?"

Wenqing quickly explained the situation to him. Steward Qin's face darkened. He didn't care that he was still dressed properly, and he followed Wenqing back to Chu Lian's tent.

When they arrived, they only saw the tent in the darkness and three or four female soldiers lying on the ground …

Li Yue bit her lip in regret. "Country Lord has been kidnapped …"

Wenlan was lying unconscious in the tent. Although she was still tightly gripping her sword, there were no signs of a fight in the tent.

Even the plate of snacks that Chu Lian hadn't finished on the small table was still there.

Li Yue put cold water on Wenlan's face to wake her up.

When Wenlan woke up and saw the people in the tent, she was stunned for a moment. She immediately shouted excitedly, "Hurry, hurry and chase after Third Madam. She's been taken away … hurry!"

Wenqing hugged Wenlan in her arms. It took her a while to calm her down.

"Wenlan, calm down. Think back carefully. What was the situation at the time? Who kidnapped Third Madam?"

Wenlan finally calmed down. With tears in her eyes, she said, "Those people covered their faces, so I couldn't tell who they were."

As she spoke, she wiped away her tears. "They said that they wanted Third Madam to leave with them. One of them pulled out a sword and wanted to attack me. There was still blood on the sword. Third Madam said that if they let me go, she would leave with them. How could I let those people kidnap Third Madam? I pulled out my sword and wanted to delay them. But just as I took a step forward, I felt a pain in the back of my head and fainted."

When Wenqing, Li Yueqin, and the others heard this, they understood that Chu Lian had deliberately knocked Wenlan out. Those people's target was the Third Grandmother, but they didn't want to leave anyone else alive. Wenlan alone wasn't a match for the three of them. Chu Lian did this to save Wenlan's life.

"Then what should we do now?" Li Yue asked.

Steward Qin thought for a moment. "The few of you go and bring some people to search the camp. They couldn't have left without a sound. They must have left some traces. They might still be hiding in the camp.

I'll go find Sir Tang. I hope he can help. "

Most of the border troops had already rushed to the front lines. Even Great General Qian and Colonel Guo weren't in the camp. The only person they could ask for help was Tang Yan.

Chu Lian's entire body was uncomfortable from the jolting. She finally woke up with a painful groan.

As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw the continuous retreating hoofprints. She moved her body and was immediately restrained. Only then did she realize that she was on the back of a horse …

She was directly placed on the horse's back like a sack. Chu Lian almost vomited from the jolting.

The person on the horse seemed to know that she had woken up. She heard the person say coldly, "If you don't want to suffer, it's better to cooperate."

Chu Lian frowned. This was a woman's voice. Moreover, it was the voice of the woman who had sent Wenqing and Li Yue away.

When they were in the camp, these people had called her "Lady". Clearly, they all knew her identity.

However, on the way here, apart from knocking her out, they hadn't done anything harmful to her. She felt that she was even wearing a warm fur coat.

This group of people's goal wasn't to kill her.

After coming to this conclusion, Chu Lian quickly calmed down.

Her thoughts also became clearer.

She coughed, attracting the attention of the woman on the horse. She then said, "Can you let me sit up straight? I feel very uncomfortable like this."
