Another person said, "But isn’t she the Second Prince’s wife?"

"Nonsense, the Second Prince has not married, and I have heard that the woman is not one from our steppes, she was abducted by the Second Prince from somewhere else."

"Could it be the same person?"

"This is the only clue we’ve had in days. You keep an eye on Nangong Ye, and I will immediately go back to report so that they can send more people over from there."

"Alright!"

...

After several days, the snow finally stopped.

The sunlight shone down, and the snow on the roads began to melt. Fengfeng had planned to stay at the county office for a few more days, but Nan Feng kept urging him to set out as soon as possible. Shangzhi City was the closest to Dashun. Tuoba Lie’s men must have infiltrated the area, and Tuoba Lie himself was unscrupulous; he would surely do everything in his power to find her.

After some thought, Fengfeng eventually accepted Nan Feng’s suggestion, found two horses, and set out without using a carriage.

Firstly, individual horses were faster, and horses had a self-preservation instinct, knowing to avoid the snow. Secondly, there was no need to worry about the carriage wheels slipping.

The two quickly left Shangzhi City and headed towards the official road.

But just after they left the city gate, Fengfeng suddenly stopped, and Nan Feng followed suit.

"What’s wrong?" Nan Feng asked, tightening the reins. She felt that Fengfeng must have sensed danger, which was why he had suddenly stopped.

However, Fengfeng soon said, "It’s nothing. Let’s keep going. Fengfeng, remember to stay close to me, don’t fall behind!"

"Alright, don’t worry, I will stay close," Nan Feng said.

Once outside the city, the two continued on their journey together. Because of the melting snow, they could only move slowly. The official road was very quiet all the way, with resting stations at regular intervals for breaks.

When they reached the resting station at Shouchun City, Fengfeng suddenly stopped again.

The station seemed perfectly normal, with about a dozen guards on patrol. Someone saw Fengfeng approaching and came out to ask him to show his official token. Fengfeng presented his military token, and the Guard glanced at it and said, "So it’s General Nangong. General Nangong, please come inside!"

Nan Feng was not clear about these official roads. They had been traveling for a whole day and planned to rest here, but Fengfeng seemed very cautious, so she became cautious as well.

The station had a sentry post above and a few rows of houses below, which usually housed officials traveling on official business, and food was also provided inside.

The Guard led Fengfeng and Nan Feng to one of the houses below, then asked them, "General Nangong, it’s getting dark. It seems you will need to stay here tonight!"

Fengfeng nodded, "We need to stay for one night."

"Does General Nangong plan to have one room each, or will both of you share one room?"

Upon hearing this, Nan Feng answered for Fengfeng, "One room each, please."

"Understood. General Nangong, please rest here for a while and have some dinner; I’ll go prepare the rooms."

Tea was quickly brought in, and the sound of chopping wood could be heard coming from the courtyard, followed by the smell of cooking from the stove area.

Nan Feng, having traveled the whole day and in cold weather, was now in a warm room with tea served. She was about to pour herself a cup of tea to drink and warm her hands.

Just as she was about to drink, Fengfeng stopped her, "Fengfeng, wait."

"What’s wrong?" Nan Feng asked.

Fengfeng took out a silver needle, inserted it into the tea, and after observing for a few seconds with no reaction, he removed the needle, "It’s safe to drink now."
