As for Haoming, he returned to Kaoshan Village, where he grabbed a young girl’s wrist and brought her to the kitchen. At this time, the kitchen was the only place that was unoccupied. He handed the cloth strip to the girl, "Big brother, something has happened!" Haoming’s abruptness scared Dong Huiying quite a bit. However, when she unfolded the cloth strip and saw the content clearly, she let out a long sigh of relief. Thankfully, it seemed nothing was wrong for the moment, but Pei Yu... her eyes flickered. Yun Ge walked over, "What’s going on?" She had noticed something off about Dong Huiying’s expression. Dong Huiying took a deep breath, "Yun Ge, do you know about the situation in The Outside?" Yun Ge frowned slightly, "I do!" She had stopped covering herself with white silk and instead had put her eyepatch back on. After experiencing it herself, Yun Ge found that the eyepatch was indeed more convenient than white silk. Furthermore, her eye flaws had already been seen by Purple chervil, so she simply decided to stop worrying about it. Yun Ge spoke of the vast sandy expanse of The Outside, north of the deserts where people lead a life akin to that of a Nomadic Tribe, constantly living on horseback with incomparably skilled equestrian archery. Apart from that, there was a female leader in The Outside known as Nu Woer, who commanded a hundred thousand strong soldiers – a formidable force indeed. When Yun Ge mentioned the Chief of the Outside, Nu Woer, there was a scornful cold sneer on her lips, "This person is a fence-sitter, disloyal to any side. Back when Ji Jiuhuang was at the peak of her renown, she had proactively sent dozens of men from The Outside to ingratiate herself with the Ninth Princess, and you and I have worked with her before. Back then she was intimidated by you and dared not cause trouble, but after you left the capital due to the gu poison... in short, you must know that she has a poor character, not worth befriending, and she’s narrow-hearted. She has been dissatisfied with being overshadowed by you for a long time, and if she learns of your whereabouts, she might stir up quite a storm." Dong Huiying felt a heavy weight in her heart, not for herself, but... "Yun Ge, wait for me a moment, I need to find my parents, I have to take them with me!" Dong Huiying hurried away, while Yun Ge was taken aback. After so much time, to hear her call her name once again felt wonderful. Even if only for that one call of ’Yun Ge’, she would die content. Later, Yun Ge summoned Zhang Yu and instructed him in a low voice, "Purple chervil doesn’t remember the past, if she’s asking about Nu Woer, there must be a reason. Go and investigate... see what exactly is going on." Yun Ge squinted her eyes, pondering for a moment, "Actually, if I’m not wrong, it must be Nu Woer’s forces that have appeared near Taihang Town. If it’s confirmed as I suspect... heh," Yun Ge sneered, "Nu Woer is amassing troops in The Outside, while the person in the palace has confined the Ninth Princess, regarding Nu Woer as a reliable deputy yet fearing she might harbor unloyal intentions. If Nu Woer really sends someone into Zhongtu, regardless of the reason, it will inevitably provide an opportunity! When the time comes, you shall go back and concentrate on managing this. And if handled properly, it might lead to a situation where the snipe and the clam grapple, and the fisherman reaps the benefit!" Zhang Yu blinked, was Doctor Yun trying to... distract him? Zhang Yu put on a serious face, "Doctor Yun, ever since the General left the capital, you have been our principal support. Your safety is of utmost importance. If I do as you say... during that time, you will..." A trace of pride tinged Yun Ge’s eyes and brows, but her tone was very gentle, "With Purple chervil here, none of those demons and monsters would dare to touch me, and besides, she has only lost some memories, I believe her capabilities are still there."
