Chapter 842: Chapter 842: Ye Ge Looks for Nan Feng

Lu Jianxi led over a hundred people to come out to meet Nan Feng.

When they arrived at Shangzhi City, she took out the drawing in her arms and looked at it again.

Nangong Ye’s artistic skill had reached a state of perfection; the person in the drawing seemed to come to life, even their expression was captured, portraying a woman with a charming smile. Although this woman couldn’t be considered a peerless beauty, she had an enduring appeal, especially her pair of spirited eyes that seemed to be capable of speech, spouting nothing but sweet nothings.

Lu Jianxi secured the drawing, then reminded the people behind her, "Everyone, pay close attention, if you see a girl about sixteen or seventeen years old, go down and ask if she is Lady Nan Feng."

The people behind her responded, "Yes!"

Apart from paying attention to the passersby, Lu Jianxi also specifically visited several inns in the city, because there were only three or four inns due to post-war reconstruction, Lu Jianxi checked each one and did not see Nan Feng.

At the last one, as soon as she walked in, she saw Liang Shuang sitting at the entrance looking dejected, along with Xiaohong from the inn.

Seeing a female general, both Xiaohong and Liang Shuang were startled.

Xiaohong quickly came forward to greet her, "General, are you returning to the Capital City? Are you here to eat or to stay?"

Liang Shuang said, "What a heroic and impressive female general. Your presence turns this small inn into the Imperial Palace. I also wish to join the army. Could the general take me in as well?"

Lu Jianxi smiled, her voice somewhat boyish, "Certainly, but I’m looking for a young lady. Has there been a girl of about sixteen or seventeen here? She looks like this and her name is Nan Feng."

Lu Jianxi then took out the drawing Nangong Ye had made from her bosom.

Xiaohong and Liang Shuang were immediately shocked.

Could it be that people are looking for Nan Feng right after she disappeared?

Seeing the expressions on Xiaohong and Liang Shuang’s faces, Lu Jianxi guessed something and asked, "It seems like you have seen this lady? Where is she? Please lead the way!"

Lu Jianxi had an overwhelming presence; although there was a smile on her face, her tone was commanding.

"Sister Nan Feng, she... she..." Liang Shuang rambled for a long while before finally replying, "She has disappeared!"

"..."

...

Lu Jianxi immediately sent someone to inform Nangong Ye. As soon as Nangong Ye heard that Nan Feng was missing, he could no longer care about defending the city. He quickly arrived within Shangzhi City.

It wasn’t until inside the inn that Liang Shuang saw Nangong Ye.

Imposing and dignified, brimming with righteousness and authority, Nangong Ye made Liang Shuang’s heart even more anxious, especially when Lu Jianxi introduced him, "This is General Nangong Ye. The Lady Nan Feng you saw is the wife of General Nangong."

"Nangong... Ye?" Liang Shuang immediately knelt on the ground, "General Nangong Ye, it’s... it’s all my fault; I am to blame for what happened to Sister Nan Feng."

Xiaohong also stepped forward, righteously accusing Liang Shuang on the ground, "He stole Lady Nan Feng’s silver banknotes, and Sister Nan Feng went after him; that’s when she disappeared."

Xiaohong, seeing Nangong Ye’s increasingly angry face, knew if she didn’t come forward with the truth, he might tear down her inn.

Liang Shuang then recounted the whole process.

Nangong Ye finally gave Liang Shuang a cold glance before commanding the people behind him, "Dispatch a thousand elite soldiers to search for Nan Feng; we must find her!"

If it weren’t for him being at war, he wouldn’t have been separated from Nan Feng. Having fought desperately for Dajin, he naturally had the right to deploy soldiers to search for his wife.

A thousand elite soldiers immediately sprang into action.

After searching day and night, someone finally found a white jade hairpin in the mountains about a hundred kilometers away.

Near the white jade hairpin was a cliff, a thousand zhang high. No one knew what lay beneath, but to fall from here meant certain death.
