Transformed into an abused child bride, breaking off the marriage and getting a divorce is so cool

Chapter 176 Ning Zhengqing ran away

The carriage hurried as fast as it could and arrived in Huizhou before dark. The prefect of Huizhou was already waiting at the city gate.

Jiang Yutong and the others will only get their turn after His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arranged accommodation.

Because he didn't stay in Huizhou for long, the Huizhou prefect gave up the prefectural and surrounding official residences. Jiang Yutong took advantage of Jiang Yuwen's influence and lived in a doctor's house. After Jiang Yutong settled in, Jiang Yuwen still hadn't returned.

Jiang Yutong sighed. Jiang Yuwen had a heavy responsibility this time. In addition to protecting the safety of the prince, he also had to protect the Nanman prince and these captive prisoners. Along the way, Jiang Yutong had not had a chance to talk to Jiang Yuwen properly.

Fortunately, the doctor had prepared a banquet early on, so everyone who hadn't eaten well along the way finally enjoyed the meal.

After eating and drinking and returning to the room, Dongmei had already changed into the bedding she brought with her and checked every corner of the house. She didn't find anything wrong, so she let Jiang Yutong rest.

Jiang Yutong was about to rest when Xiao Yifeng sent over a box of Huizhou black tea, a specialty of Huizhou. "My dear, the prince wants you to drink it for fun."

Jiang Yutong opened the package and smelled the fragrance. It was obvious that it was good tea.

It's getting late, so it's impossible to drink now. It would be nice to stay on the road and drink slowly.

Jiang Yutong was indeed tired from riding in the carriage, so he asked Dongmei to put the tea away and said, "Put it away, we will drink it on the way."

Dongmei smiled and said, "It's still the prince who cares about the girl."

Jiang Yutong smiled, yawned, and said to Dongmei, "You guys go down and rest too. You don't have to watch over me."

Dongmei nodded. Although Jiang Yutong said that no one was needed to watch over her, Xia Zhu and the others would never dare to let Jiang Yutong sleep alone. When they were out, one of Xia Zhu, Qiuyue and Sang Ye would always keep watch.

Jiang Yutong fell asleep quickly. In a daze, she was woken up by Sang Ye, "Girl, wake up, there is an assassin."

Jiang Yutong woke up from her sleep suddenly.

"What happened."

At this time, Xia Zhu and the others had already surrounded Jiang Yutong. "There's a lot of commotion outside. We don't know what's going on yet."

Jiang Yutong listened carefully and found that the noise was really loud. He could also hear sounds coming from the prefect's side and the other side where the prisoners were being held.

"Is my brother back?"

Xia Zhu shook his head, "The general hasn't come back yet."

Jiang Yutong couldn't help but feel a little worried.

I'm no longer sleepy at this moment.

Soon there was a knock on the door. "My dear, the prince has asked us to come and guard the place. Please stay in the room and don't come out."

Jiang Yutong heard a familiar voice. It was Ding Yongyuan, who had been on a mission with Jiang Yuwen before.

Jiang Yutong asked through the door, "How are the prince and General Jiang?"

Ding Yongyuan replied, "The prince and General Jiang are both fine. They have a mission to complete. Please don't worry about them, my lord."

Jiang Yutong felt relieved and sat quietly in the room waiting.

Sure enough, after a while, an assassin ran towards this side. Fortunately, Ding Yongyuan acted decisively and quickly took the man down.

I don’t know how long it took before the noise outside died down.

It was already dawn.

Ding Yongyuan shouted into the house, "Your Excellency, you can go and rest without any worries. We are here to guard this place and will not let any assassins in."

Xia Zhu and others also said, "Miss, you should rest first, we are here to watch over you."

Jiang Yutong shook her head. "I can't sleep at this critical moment. Dongmei, go make a pot of the tea that the prince sent."

Dongmei followed her instructions and made some tea, then brought it to the group outside, along with some snacks. After such a long day, everyone was hungry.

Jiang Yutong was drinking tea in the room. Sure enough, the tea Xiao Yifeng sent was good.

Jiang Yutong didn't sleep all night, and only learned about last night's news when Jiang Yuwen came back.

Jiang Yutong asked Dongmei to prepare some easily digestible food for Jiang Yuwen to eat before he could rest.

Jiang Yuwen was eating while talking to Jiang Yutong about what happened last night.

The assassin last night was targeting Cui Mingzhi. Jiang Yuwen told Jiang Yutong the general news.

"Fortunately, the assassins were captured and killed, and Choi Mingzhi was also safe and sound."

Jiang Yuwen breathed a sigh of relief. He had been in a lot of trouble last night. When he thought of sending someone to protect Jiang Yutong, he learned that the prince had already sent someone.

The prince was always one step ahead of him, and Jiang Yuwen was very grateful.

Jiang Yutong looked at Jiang Yuwen, who looked tired, and said distressedly, "Brother is tired too, go and rest."

Jiang Yuwen nodded, "I didn't scare you last night, did I?"

Jiang Yutong shook her head. "I have people protecting me. Just focus on your own business."

Jiang Yuwen touched the top of Jiang Yutong's head and said, "It's not a peaceful journey. I always bring people with me wherever I go."

Then Jiang Yuwen said, "There's one more thing I want to tell you. Ning Zhengqing ran away last night."

Jiang Yutong frowned. Ning Zhengqing was not a key figure, so how could he run away?

Jiang Yuwen sighed, "Last night, I temporarily swapped cells between Cui Mingzhi and Ning Zhengqing, but I didn't expect the assassin to let Ning Zhengqing escape."

Jiang Yutong was a little nervous, "Did they catch the person?"

Jiang Yuwen shook his head. "Not yet. I'll take a break and then I'll take people to look for it later."

Although Ning Zhengqing is not a very important person, it is unacceptable to let someone take him away right under their noses.

If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince really makes a fuss about it, they will be in big trouble.

Jiang Yutong knew the seriousness of the situation and quickly asked Jiang Yuwen to go and rest first. "Brother, then you should go and rest."

Jiang Yuwen dragged his tired body into the bedroom and fell asleep quickly.

Jiang Yutong frowned as he thought about what happened last night. He didn't expect Ning Zhengqing to escape by chance. What a fate.

Jiang Yutong didn't sleep well last night, so she went back to her room to rest for a while. When she woke up, she found out that Jiang Yuwen had left.

It seems that we have to stay in Huizhou for a few more days.

Jiang Yutong had nothing to do, so he borrowed the doctor's kitchen and cooked with Dongmei and others. He also arranged for Dongmei and Sang Ye to take the servant to buy some necessities.

There has been no news about Ning Zhengqing.

Huizhou is full of mountains, so it is not difficult to hide someone there.

Finally, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince grew impatient and had to leave a group of people here to continue searching, while they set off again.

For safety reasons, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince basically did not stay overnight outside this time. He mostly set up camp and lived outside the city.

Fortunately, there were no problems along the way and we soon arrived in the capital.
