Chapter 698 Who are the forces on the south bank of the Yangtze River?

Ping'er said: "I don't know. I just saw it. It seems that someone from the government posted a picture on the wall, looking for someone."

As he spoke, he subconsciously led me over. I was also curious about who the government wanted at this time, so I followed him. The two of us carefully squeezed into the crowd. When we looked up, we saw the portraits on the wall.

As soon as I saw it, my eyes widened in shock.

The person in the portrait—it’s me!

I thought I had seen it wrong, or that I had hallucinated because of the deep poisoning, but no matter how much I rubbed my eyes and looked again, there was still a face in the portrait that was both familiar and unfamiliar at the same time, with delicate eyebrows and a faint expression.

It’s clearly me!

People from Yangzhou Prefecture are looking for me?!

At this moment, a middle-aged man next to him murmured to the portrait: "I seem to have seen this woman before..."

I shuddered and subconsciously wanted to turn around and run, but as soon as I moved, I was grabbed by Ping'er. He looked at me strangely: "What's wrong with you?"

"..." I opened my eyes in fear, but saw his confused expression, and the people around him. Some of them glanced at me when they heard the movement, and then turned their heads lightly, as if something was wrong.

Nothing happened.

By the way, I forgot.

My face has been destroyed by Alan's poison. These people are strangers to me, and of course they are even less likely to recognize me.

At this time, the middle-aged man who just spoke had already clapped his hands: "Remember, isn't this the woman who followed the third prince, oh no - followed the emperor to provide disaster relief when the plague broke out?"

Several people around him heard what he said, and some seemed to have remembered it, and they all nodded. Some people asked in confusion: "Why are the officials looking for her again now?"

"Isn't she the emperor's—person?"

"Oh, look, down here!"

My spirit froze, and I turned around to look at the bottom of my portrait. There was also a line of small words, which actually offered a reward of one thousand taels of gold!

What's going on?

I stood in the crowd, looking at my portrait, my heart was beating hard, I just felt that something was wrong here, but my mind was confused for a while, and I couldn't figure it out, but I heard Ping'er frustrated next to me.

Said: "A thousand taels of gold? Hey, even if you give me a piece of gold sand - no, as long as you can cross the river."

After saying that, he turned around: "Let's go - Hey, what's wrong with you?"

I still stood there looking at the portrait without saying anything.

This is a portrait posted by people from Yangzhou Prefecture, but looking at the words attached below, it is not a wanted warrant, but a reward. This is not like Pei Yuanhao's style. Besides, we already knew when we were in the capital before.

The current attitude of the people in Yangzhou Prefecture is ambiguous. By the time we get here, I am almost certain that they are involved with the rebellious forces in the south bank. Could it be that they are helping the people in the south to find me?

Who are the rebellious forces on the south bank of the Yangtze River, and why are they looking for me?!

Although I am short of money now, these thousand taels of gold are shining brightly in front of my eyes, like sharp needles. I must find out the origin of this matter and cannot act rashly. Thinking of this, I suppressed the impulse in my heart and tried my best to

Calmly said: "It's okay. Let's go."

Ping'er nodded and was about to lead me out of the crowd when I suddenly felt a hand tap on my shoulder. When I looked back, a face as handsome as a crown jewel came into view.

Ye Fei?!

My eyes suddenly widened, and before I could speak, the young man had already made a sign at me and walked out of the crowd quickly.

There were people coming and going here, and it was already very noisy, especially because everyone gathered around to look at the portrait, which made it even more crowded. However, he seemed to be walking around freely as if he was in a deserted place. He suddenly disappeared before his eyes, and when he looked up

, his snow-white figure was already on the other side of the street, only for a flash, and then appeared on the other side.

I hurriedly said to Ping'er: "Ping'er, you go back first, I have something to do and I have to leave for a while."

"Ah?" Ping'er looked at me strangely: "What's the matter with you? You want to go -"

Before he finished speaking, I had already turned towards the direction Ye Fei left, turned around and waved to Ping'er, and followed quickly.

Ye Fei walked so fast that I didn’t even think he had to go. He was like a ghost in broad daylight, disappearing and appearing in the crowd. Unfortunately, I was poisoned and had to keep up with him until we reached a remote woodland.

By the time, I was almost out of breath.

Only then did Ye Fei stop and look back at me with a cold expression.

My head was covered in cold sweat, and I was shivering slightly due to the cool breeze, but when I saw him, I felt somewhat reassured, so I stepped forward and said, "Alan, she——"

"Where is she?"

He spoke almost at the same time as me. As soon as I heard his words, my heart sank.

He is also looking for Alan.

I originally thought that seeing her would reveal the whereabouts of Ah Lan, but now I still have no clue. I just felt more and more panicked in my heart, and said tremblingly: "I got separated from her, and was locked up before entering Yangzhou City.

The soldiers on board recognized her, and she asked me to go into the city first and stop the soldiers myself. I——"

Before I could finish speaking, Ye Fei waved his hand impatiently: "I'm not interested in knowing how you are."

"..."

I was stunned for a moment. I had already experienced this young man's weirdness, but it seemed different today. Compared with the usual coldness, he seemed to be burning with fire inside, and there was a fierceness in his eyes.
p>

I said cautiously: "How did you find me?"

"I will find a way to find you."

He said coldly, looked down at me again, looked at my rotten face, frowned slightly, and then said: "I just can't find her. She should be in the city now, I thought she would come

Looking for you."

"She has also entered the city?"

"Yeah. But it looks like she's in trouble."

"What's the trouble?"

Ye Fei's face showed more impatient expression, but he still managed to speak: "She was attacked."

"What?" I was startled and said hurriedly: "Are they the soldiers on the checkpoint?"

"No."

"No?"

"I saw the codes she left in some places in the city. She should have gotten rid of those people, but when she entered the city, she was attacked by others again."

I looked at Ye Fei in surprise and was speechless for a moment.

After Alan separated from me and got rid of the soldiers, he was attacked by someone else?

Who is he? It shouldn't be someone from the imperial court, they can't be so fast; it shouldn't be someone from Yang Jinqiao, she only appeared to find me, there is no need to cause trouble for Alan...<

/p>

Could it be that there is another force that we don’t know about that is targeting us?

At this time, a light suddenly flashed in my mind——

People from the South Bank!

The people from the south bank are looking for me through Yangzhou Prefecture. Is it possible that they are also the ones who attacked Alan?

If this is really the case, are they treating me as an enemy or a friend? Why are they offering so much gold to find me and sending people to attack Ah Lan? If I am really with Ah Lan, will I also be involved?

Get rid of?

When I thought of this, I felt a biting chill. I couldn't help but shiver. I hurriedly raised my head and said to Ye Fei: "How is Alan now? Is there any danger? She is still——"
p>

Are you still alive?

I didn't finish my words because I was afraid, but Ye Fei listened to my half-sentence, his face remained cold, and at this moment he said: "She'd better be alive."

When he said this, he was still very calm, or calm, but with a cold calmness.

I looked at him, and for some reason I felt a little palpitated.

But after all, he couldn't help it, and asked: "By the way, in order to pass the test, Alan gave me one of her poisons, which can kill my face - you, can you detoxify it?"

Ye Fei said coldly: "No."

"...Oh."

Although I don’t have high hopes, it’s impossible not to be disappointed.

Ye Fei said coldly: "Find her, and she will naturally detoxify you."

After saying this, he turned around, and I immediately realized that he was going to leave. This man was very skilled in martial arts, and it only took a blink of an eye for him to leave, but I grabbed him by the collar: "

Just wait."

Ye Fei turned back to look at me with cold eyes. My face burned badly, but I still grabbed his clothes and didn't let go, for fear that he would disappear immediately, so he said shamelessly: "You--are you rich?



"..."

"Can you lend me ten taels of silver?"

"..."

He still didn't speak. I don't know if it was because of his usual coldness, or because he had never encountered anyone asking him to borrow money. He didn't know what to say. I could only continue shamelessly: "I want to cross the river, and my daughter is here."

I want to find her on the south bank of the Yangtze River. It costs ten taels of silver to go there by private boat. I have no money, so I can only——"

"..."

"Please."

I have never been so embarrassed. I buried my face so low that I could feel the tips of my ears turning red.

But at this time, I was more sober than before. Now that Ye Fei has found me, he will naturally go to find A-Lan. As long as he finds A-Lan, it will be easy for them to cross the river.

It shouldn’t be difficult for me; and if I can find Alan, cross the river, and detoxify, it’s logical. If he can’t find Alan——

Probably, I can only die.

Before I die, I must at least be closer to my son!

Maybe, I can see her again?

With the belief that I would die, I let go. I raised my head and faced Ye Fei and said seriously: "Please, I really need ten taels of silver to find my daughter. I-"

Before he finished speaking, Ye Fei raised his hand and shook me off. I felt anxious, and before I could speak, I saw a silver object thrown from his hand.

I hurriedly reached out to catch it, and a heavy piece of silver fell into my hand.

I felt happy and quickly raised my head: "Thank you——"
