Chapter 2129: Capturing Dong Waner (4)

Dayong and Dajin have similar customs and customs, and there are many beautiful scenery and cultural relics. The two toured Dayong for more than a month, and they returned to Dajin after seeing almost all the beautiful scenery.

At this time, the capital of Dajin was not peaceful. The culprit of the fire had not been caught yet. The people were panicked, and Mu Chongwen, the prefect of Yingtian Prefecture, was also overwhelmed. The circle of searching for Dong Wan'er had expanded from the capital to the surrounding cities. Emperor Nangong Jin also ordered to search in Tongzhou and Lingbei.

However, Dong Wan'er seemed to have evaporated from the world. No matter how they searched, there was no clue. After Caiwei and Nangong Yi came back, they heard about this and immediately sent the parrot to find Dong Wan'er's whereabouts.

The parrot flew into the air, looked for a moment, and laughed, saying: "Master, the people you are looking for are almost in Xianbei, no wonder no one can find them."

It turned out that on the night of the arson, Dong Wan'er took advantage of the chaos and ran to the city gate. After dawn, she sneaked into a carriage pulling a water cart, quietly left the city, and then went directly north to Lin'an Prefecture.

On the way, she met a businessman who was going to the north to do business, and lied to him that she was a concubine of a wealthy family in the city, and was driven out because the lady could not tolerate her.

Because she was young, beautiful, and sensible, the merchant loved her very much, so he took her in, and the two became a pair of dew couples.

The merchant was in a hurry to go north to do business, and he was in a hurry on the road, so he didn't know what happened in the capital. He took Dong Wan'er with him, thinking that he had picked up a treasure. He was gentle and generous to her along the way, and spent hundreds of taels just to buy her headwear and clothes!

Not only that, Dong Wan'er claimed that her pass and household registration were withheld by the wealthy family, and she had no identity. In order to please her, the merchant went to the pawnshop to buy a maid of similar age to her when he passed by Lin'an Prefecture, gave her the identity and household registration of the maid, and went to the government to restore her identity as a good man.

Dong Wan'er got what she wanted, and the merchant was no longer useful.

One night, she deliberately got the merchant drunk and ran away with the jewelry and dozens of taels of silver that the merchant bought for her.

Because she knew that the merchant was a person from the capital, and sooner or later he would know what she did. Merchants valued profits, and when the time came, he would definitely give her up without hesitation. Instead of doing this, it would be better to leave him now.

The next day, when the merchant woke up, he found that his beautiful wife had run away with the silver. He was angry and wanted to track her down, but the beautiful wife was free and had the identity he gave her, not his slave or concubine, so even if he found out, he could do nothing to her.

What's more, she was a concubine who ran away. If he investigated seriously, he would be suspected of kidnapping people!

It's better to have less trouble than more. The merchant lost hundreds of taels of silver in vain, so he had to admit that he was unlucky. Because he was in a hurry to get on the road, he sighed for a while and then threw it away.

Dong Wan'er, who had both an identity and silver, hired a carriage and went to the direction of Xianbei as soon as she was free.

She couldn't go to Tongzhou, nor could she go to Lingbei to find her parents. At the moment, the best place to go was Xianbei, which didn't have much contact with Dajin.

Dong Wan'er traveled day and night. As a weak woman, she carried many valuable items on her body. Needless to say, the hardships along the way were hard.

However, after going through untold hardships, she finally arrived at Ji'an City, the border between Xianbei and Dajin. When she exchanged pass documents at the city gate, what was waiting for her was a cold iron chain.

"What are you doing? Why do you arrest me?" She struggled and screamed angrily.

The general guarding the city opened a scroll in his hand, shook it in front of Dong Wan'er, and said lazily: "Dong Wan'er, the person in the painting is you, right? Three days ago, the capital sent an urgent order of 800 miles, ordering me and others to wait here for you, the arsonist and murderer!"

"No, how could it be possible... This is impossible..."

Dong Wan'er shook her head in disbelief and fell to the ground dejectedly. She didn't believe that she had escaped so hard and so obscurely, how could she be discovered?

However, the guards guarding the city didn't care what she thought, nor how hard it was for her to escape here. They waved their hands, called two soldiers, and pulled the iron chain to escort her to the prisoner car...
