After Rebirth, She Becomes the Revenge Queen-Chapter 589 - 371: It’s Him! (Request for Monthly Pass)

When Fu Zhen hurried back to Pei Mansion, Tie Ying had already paced back and forth countless times in the front hall.

Seeing Fu Zhen return, he rushed forward in big strides, "General’s wife, you’re finally back. I have been waiting for you for a long time."

"What’s so urgent that you’re looking for me?" Fu Zhen asked as she walked through the door.

Tie Ying followed her in and said, "I saw the portrait you painted, and I heard it was based on someone you’ve seen in person. Is that true?"

As he spoke, he picked up a rolled-up portrait from the table and unfurled it. It was indeed the portrait Fu Zhen had painted yesterday of the person she saw in front of the steamed bun shop in Camp Town.

"Do you recognize him?" Fu Zhen asked bluntly.

"Yes, he is Lian Yang!"

As the words "Lian Yang" spilled from his lips, Fu Zhen held her breath. She quickly replied, "Are you sure? Is this indeed Lian Yang in the portrait?"

"As long as the portrait resembles the person by nine-tenths, I can assert that this man is most definitely Lian Yang!"

Fu Zhen took a deep breath, "It is indeed him!"

"Did you suspect him before?"

"I thought that after Lian Rong escaped from the capital city, he should have immediately fled far away. But surprisingly, he settled in Camp Town with his contact. At a crucial moment when the entire town was being searched, he entered the city!

"If it weren’t for someone instructing him to do so, he certainly wouldn’t have been so foolish! The person who could command him would definitely not be ordinary.

"Lian Yang fits these conditions perfectly!"

"Where did you see him?"

Fu Zhen then recounted in detail what happened in front of the steamed bun shop that morning, "In that case, Lian Rong’s return to the capital was his ploy to escape!"

"Exactly, General Pei is commanding the soldiers at the Capital Camp in a sweeping search of Camp Town. If Lian Yang hadn’t created chaos to escape, he wouldn’t have evaded capture!"

"But he still managed to escape!" Fu Zhen frowned deeply, feeling extremely frustrated, "Several days have passed; he probably left the Capital area. Now where should we search for him?"

Tie Ying thought for a moment and said, "Why would Lian Yang flee to the capital city for no reason? I recall when I left Dayue, many people were still gathered within Dayue’s borders.

"Once Lian Yang left, what about the hundreds of people surrounding him?"

Hearing this, Fu Zhen looked at him, fell silent for a moment, and then said, "Could it be that they all have already entered the region?"

"Impossible, the northwest checkpoint inspections are very strict. Even if Lian Yang didn’t change his appearance, ten to twenty people might still have a chance to sneak in, but it’s impossible for hundreds."

Tie Ying said this decisively, then suddenly mused, "The thing that puzzles me is why he came to the capital. Even if it was to meet with Lian Rong, there was no need for him to come personally."

Fu Zhen pressed her lips and kept silent.

Earlier, she had heard from Yang Yi that Lian Yang and his group had been chasing him. So, it appears Lian Yang came to the capital for Yang Yi.

But nobody, including Yang Yi, anticipated that Lian Yang would personally pursue, which shows that this group of remnants indeed intends to eliminate completely and harbors sinister motives to cut off all of Great Zhou’s retreat paths!

This insight, however, was not suitable to disclose to Tie Ying. She pondered briefly, then said, "General Pei should be at the Capital Camp. I will have Guo Song accompany you to give him this information immediately.

"Lian Yang met with me, and he also knows you’re now with our side. After retreating, he will surely rush to escape beyond the border.

"The northwest checkpoint inspections require time for travelers, and if we start making amends now, we might still have time."

Fu Zhen said this while scrutinizing Tie Ying again, "You were once harmed by Xu Yin and harbored deep hatred, which explains why you stand with us now, and I can understand that.

"Originally, you were one of Lian Yang’s men, and he hasn’t harmed you. Don’t you want to go back?" 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Tie Ying took a deep breath, looking at her intently, "I was once a guard by the King of Dayue’s side. It’s reasonable for General’s wife to have doubts about me.

"But people can change. My family has dedicated generations to Dayue, yet it has only been as expendable tools.

"For instance, the King of Dayue tasked me with helping Lian Yang escape; Lian Yang sent me to search for Xu Yin in Great Zhou. We left with three people, returned with two, and I was the only one left, narrowly escaping death."
