Meng Xizhou led the Eagle Guards to track Yunque and pursued her all the way out of the Imperial Capital.
They found an overturned carriage by the official road ten miles outside the city.
The carriage was empty and there was no sign of Yunque. There were signs of a struggle beside the carriage. It looked like a bad fight.
Meng Xizhou left two people beside the carriage while the others continued to follow him.
They followed the tracks until they found Yunque in the dense bushes.
Coincidentally, Yunque was being pressed to the ground by a masked man.
Her mouth was firmly covered by the man, and she could not call for help. She could only stare at the man in front of her in wide-eyed horror.
Meng Xizhou shouted sternly, "Stop!"
When the masked man realized that someone was coming, not only did he not stop, but he also drew his dagger and slit Yunque's throat.
In an instant, blood splattered all over him.
