Marrying a playboy? She turned the tables and used a magical talisman to become famous throughout th

"All of you, stay close to the female envoy! If anything goes wrong, I'll hold you accountable!"

The prime minister, with a stern face, shouted, mounted his horse, and hurriedly gave chase.

……

It took Gu Jinyan less than a quarter of an hour to catch up with Dali Temple.

He assumed that Yin Liuli had gone to the Prime Minister's residence, so he went there to look for her first.

To everyone's surprise, the people in the mansion said that the prime minister had gone out and had not returned, nor had he left any message. He was so anxious that he stomped his feet.

He wanted to call out to Wa Ya Ya to ask, so he tried to knock on her ear like Yin Liuli, but Wa Ya Ya ignored him after knocking for a long time.

Waaaaa was given the order to protect Yin Liuli, not to obey his orders, so naturally she wouldn't pay him any attention.

Gu Jinyan dismounted and strode inside impatiently. Upon seeing the night watchman, he hurriedly questioned him.

"Ruri...is the female envoy here?"

The Night's Watchman shook his head.

"The female envoy only stayed here for a short while before leaving with the Prime Minister and Lord Zhou."

"Gone?"

Gu Jinyan secretly regretted arriving too late and hurriedly asked, "How long has she been gone? Which way did she go?"

Although the night watchman did not know where they were going, he saw the direction they were heading and hurriedly said,

"Replying to Your Highness, they have only been heading west for the time it takes to drink a cup of tea."

I also vaguely heard the Prime Minister say that he was going to the west.

Before he could finish speaking, Gu Jinyan had already mounted his horse, brandished his whip, and shouted.

"drive!"

In just the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, I should be able to catch up.

……

The group rode out of the city, and once outside the city gate, they galloped off again.

In the darkness, Yin Liuli shouted commands from horseback.

"Prime Minister, Lord Zhou, I am not familiar with the capital. Please keep an eye out for areas with water and grass!"

Zhou Qinggong nodded hurriedly and replied loudly.

"Don't worry, Madam, my master and I are keeping an eye on things!"

There are still many families living to the west outside the city, mostly in simple brick and tile houses, and the streets are much narrower than those inside the capital.

As you walk through the streets and further into the distance, the number of houses gradually decreases, replaced by fields of farmland.

An official road cuts through the farmland, dividing the vast land into two parts.

The group lit torches and dared not run fast anymore.

Instead, they slowed down and kept waving torches around to illuminate the surroundings, afraid of missing any places with water or grass.

After traveling for another half an hour, the prime minister's face trembled slightly, his heart filled with anxiety.

Yin Liuli calculated that Tang'er's life would be in danger after 9 PM.

But ahead was still a vast expanse of farmland; there wasn't a single river or pond in sight, not even a puddle.

In the prime minister's vague memory, there was a river only twenty or thirty miles to the west.

Even if you run your horse to death, you might not be able to reach the river before 9 PM.

"Lord Qing, what do you say...?"

He deliberately moved slightly behind Yin Liuli, and asked Zhou Qinggong with a stern face, "Do you think the female envoy's formation is really that accurate?"

Zhou Qinggong knew that it was still a long way before he could see the river, and he was very anxious.

However, he had complete trust in Yin Liuli's Taoist skills, so he said without hesitation,

"Our teacher once taught his students to trust those they employ. Since the female envoy has made this deduction, we should trust her."

The prime minister hurriedly waved his hand.

"No, no, that's not what I meant. I have no doubt about what the female envoy said."

But I'm afraid I won't be able to save Tang'er in time! Qing Gong, look around here, there's no sign of water plants at all..."

"A pond?"

Before the words were even finished, the person running in front suddenly shouted with delight.

"Your Excellency, Lord Zhou, look! There's a pond not far ahead!"

The prime minister's face showed surprise, followed by a surge of wild joy.

"As expected... there was water! She was absolutely right! Qing Gong, come with me to take a look!"

The group soon stopped in front of a pond and dismounted to search for it.

The pond is not large, and a few live fish swim in it from time to time. It is surrounded by lush wild grass.

It must have been cleared by farmers to raise fish.

There was a low thatched hut next to it, with half of the door missing and in a dilapidated state.

Yin Liuli observed for a moment, then said in a deep voice,

"My lords, this seems to be the place!"

The prime minister hurriedly stepped forward, frowning as he asked, "There's water and grass here, but only one abandoned thatched hut. Would Tang'er be hiding here?"

As soon as he finished speaking, someone came out of the thatched hut to report.

"Your Excellency, I have searched the entire thatched hut but have not found any trace of the young lady."

Zhou Qinggong's heart tightened, and he hurriedly said,

"Search carefully again! Not just the thatched hut, but the surrounding area, even this pond, search every inch of the place!"

It's obvious from here that if the thatched hut wasn't hiding anyone, then all that's left is the pond...

Zhou Qinggong dared not think any further.

Several subordinates immediately jumped into the pond and began searching in the waist-deep water.

"A pond?"

The prime minister's heart suddenly skipped a beat, and he said in a trembling voice,

"Female Assistant Envoy, Tang'er... she wouldn't have drowned in the pond, would she?"

Yin Liuli looked up at the sky and said decisively,

"It's not yet 9 PM, Miss Shen is still alive."

At this moment, several people in the water shouted loudly towards the shore.

"Sir, there are no corpses in the pond!"

"My lord, I didn't find anything either!"

"Sir, Miss Shen is not in the pond..."

……

The prime minister's face, which was on the verge of collapse, relaxed for a moment. He raised his hand to cover his wildly pounding heart, his voice trembling uncontrollably.

"No, that's good, that's good!"

Zhou Qinggong also breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a puzzled look,

"That's strange, where could a person hide?"

"He's right here!"

Yin Liuli narrowed her eyes slightly, having already seen through the flaw.

She stood there motionless, using her inner energy to probe.

Sure enough, they discovered that the thatched hut was just a smokescreen, and a protective barrier was hidden inside.

The person who set up the barrier must have possessed highly advanced magic, and must have kept it very well hidden.

To save people, the barrier must be broken first.

Breaking the barrier is tantamount to declaring war on the one who set it up. When masters clash, it all comes down to whose Taoist skills are superior!

"Lord Zhou, let your men come out from inside. You won't find anyone by searching like this."

Yin Liuli gave an order in a cool voice, raised her hand and drew a "break the curse" talisman in her palm. With a flick of her fingers, a ray of light flew out from between her fingers.

"when……"

A crisp, clear sound, barely audible, brushed past everyone's eardrums.

The voice seemed to come from nowhere, and everyone looked at each other in confusion.

"Please wait a moment, gentlemen. Tell a few men to come with me to investigate first."

Yin Liuli saw a different scene in the thatched hut and said in a deep voice, "If I'm not mistaken, Miss Shen should be inside."

Having said that, she extended her slender fingers, pointed to several burly subordinates, and drew a protective talisman on their foreheads, giving them instructions.

"If you feel a burning sensation between your eyebrows, turn around and leave immediately without hesitation!"

The group quickly responded.

"yes!"

"Liuli!"

Suddenly, Gu Jinyan's voice came from the main road behind them.
