Pei Guanjing's mind was ultimately disturbed by Li Wangcai suddenly calling out Ye Chen's name earlier.
His brows furrowed tightly, and he meticulously examined every inch around his tent, leaving no corner unchecked.
After this thorough search, his complexion turned pale, resembling leaves struck by frost.
To the right of the entrance curtain, a small sachet had fallen to the ground.
His gaze froze instantly as he recognized it as Ye Chen's sachet, which Ye Chen had always carried to confuse his Xin Xiang in the army.
His body trembled slightly as he slowly bent down, almost shaking as he reached out with his right hand, as if lifting an incredibly precious and fragile treasure. He picked up the small sachet and held it tightly in his palm.
The tassel of the sachet had been stepped on, with clear shoe prints on it—new ones. It was evident that someone had just dropped it on the ground, which is why it had been stepped on.
So, Ye Chen really was nearby just now? And did he hear the conversation between him and Li Wangcai?
Pei Guanjing could hardly bear to think about it; an invisible hand seemed to grip tightly around his heart. He could only reassure himself that perhaps this sachet was something Ye Chen had accidentally dropped here before, not just moments ago.
Yet, unease gnawed at him. He held the sachet tightly in his palm, raising his head to gaze vacantly around. But where was Ye Chen? He hadn't seen him all day.
Although he had assigned someone to secretly ensure Ye Chen's safety, he still felt extremely anxious. Li Wangcai would undoubtedly find a way to take Ye Chen to Yunzhou and hand him over to King Ren. Just thinking about this made Pei Guanjing's heart clench painfully.
The tension that had already been high now hung even heavier in the air.
Tightly gripping the sachet in his hand, Pei Guanjing turned and hurriedly searched the Military Camp for Ye Chen. Only by keeping Ye Chen within his sight could he truly relax his anxious heart.
At that moment, Ye Chen was hiding in a secluded spot between two tents, anxiously contemplating where to escape from Pei Guanjing. If he could just endure these next few days, he would be safe back in Chongzhou.
The thought that all of Pei Guanjing's previous kindness and teachings had been a deception made his head throb uncontrollably, as if a thousand steel needles were stabbing at his brain.
Just as he managed to evade Pei Guanjing, he ran into Lou Yu. Ye Chen couldn't help but wonder if once he got to Chongzhou, he would still encounter the relentless Tian Qian. Why did all the misfortunes seem to befall him? He had thought he would soon enjoy a better life, only to discover that Pei Guanjing had orchestrated a scheme within a scheme, deceiving everyone.
This entire situation left him feeling overwhelmed. The person who had shared a roof with him just half a day ago suddenly revealed an entirely different face. And Lou Yu, upon learning his true identity, immediately sought to marry him without even considering his opinion. Had anyone ever truly respected him?
Ye Chen suddenly realized that he had never truly understood Pei Guanjing and Lou Yu from the beginning. The more he thought about it, the more frustrated he became; for a moment, all he wanted was to leave this Military Camp and live as a carefree ordinary person. Yet here he was, inexplicably caught up in political strife during chaotic times and being forced into marriage—none of which anyone seemed to care about his feelings!
After squatting on the ground for too long, Ye Chen's legs began to feel numb. As he stood up, he suddenly swayed and accidentally bumped into someone. The force of the collision sent him tumbling backward uncontrollably.
The back of his head struck a relatively smooth stone with a heavy thud, causing a painful ringing in his ears. He reached back to touch the swelling lump forming on his head, propping himself up with one hand on the ground while sitting on the ground, glaring fiercely at the person who had collided with him.
His mood had already been sour today; he was looking for someone to vent his frustrations on. To his surprise, someone had come right to him. He was about to unleash a torrent of curses about how careless the other person was when he caught sight of their face and found himself speechless.
It was Li Wangcai.
Although Li Wangcai's lips were stained with blood and he looked disheveled, there was an expression of shock and even delight in his gaze as he looked at Ye Chen. In that moment, Ye Chen felt like his bad luck had reached its peak; not only had he stumbled upon Pei Guanjing's private matters earlier, but now fate had thrown Li Wangcai into his path as well.
Wasn't Li Wangcai always eager to take him to Yunzhou to meet the so-called King Ren?
It wasn't until Li Wangcai led him out of the Military Camp without any hindrance and arrived at the city of Yunzhou that Ye Chen finally believed that everything that had happened today was not just a dream.
Ye Chen had originally thought that Li Wangcai was severely injured, and with all the wisdom he possessed as a modern person, he had a good chance of escaping from his grasp. But clearly, he had overestimated his own cleverness and underestimated Li Wangcai's cunning.
It was true that Li Wangcai was injured himself, but that didn't stop him from directly injuring Ye Chen next.
With a couple of cracking sounds, he dislocated both of Ye Chen's arms. If it weren't for the need to travel quickly, he might have even dislocated both of Ye Chen's legs.
