The soldier gave Gao Mingjiang a sidelong glance.

But he didn’t know what to say, because he had been astonished by the girl’s beauty as well when he had first laid eyes on her portrait. No man could resist her face.

“You really didn’t see her?” The soldier’s face darkened.

Gao Mingjiang smiled obsequiously. “She’s too beautiful to be forgotten. I’m sure of it.”

The soldier didn’t believe Gao Mingjiang. He asked around and saw that everyone shook their heads in bewilderment.

The soldier was secretly disappointed.

Gao Mingjiang lowered his voice. “Who’s in this portrait? Is she a criminal?”

Of course, the soldier wouldn’t tell him. He only snorted. “If you don’t tell the truth, you’ll all be decapitated!”

Everyone nodded obediently.

The soldier snorted and left with the drawing.

Feng Wu saw the portrait in the soldier’s hand.

Little Phoenix was right. They were indeed looking for her, but they didn’t dare to do it openly and were only asking around in secret. That was to say, Princess Rao and her brother might not be in the same boat.

Feng Wu felt much better at that thought.

Soon, it was their turn.

Everyone passed the checkpoint in order.

Old Mrs. Gao went through first, followed by each branch of the family.

Gao Mingjiang had already handed in the Gao family’s household registration booklet, so everyone was waiting for their name to be called.

“You’re my niece. Don’t worry.” Li was a little scared, but she still tried to comfort Feng Wu.

Feng Wu was touched.

In fact, what she did could easily bring harm to the Gao family, especially Li. However, she had been so kind to her when they were total strangers.

When the soldier reached the fourth branch of the family, he saw that there was an additional member next to Li.

“Who is she?”

The soldier frowned when he saw the sallow girl, whose clothes were in rags.

Li tugged at Feng Wu, telling her to bow.

“She’s my niece and was living with us when the plague broke out. Because of the emergency, I took her with me when we escaped from Gao Village in Maple

Forest City.”

Gao Mingjiang went up to them as well.

The soldiers had received Gao Mingjiang’s silver before, so they didn’t try to make things difficult for him. They nodded and were ready to let them pass.

Everyone was about to heave a sigh of relief when they heard the sound of hooves.

It was so loud that many people were attracted by it.

Three horses quickly arrived, led by a girl wearing a red cape.

She was a pretty girl with an air of nobility about her. One look at her and everyone fell silent!

“Kneel! On your knees!”

With a whip in his hand, the soldiers lashed down at the people behind them.

Feng Wu tugged at Li to dodge the whip. Otherwise, she would have been hit for nothing.

Li asked in a trembling voice, ‘Who’s that?”

Someone said, “What a grand entrance. Is she the princess?”

Feng Wu glanced at the girl in the red cape and shook her head inwardly. That didn’t seem to be the case.

But the others believed that conclusion.

The two junior Spiritual Overlords on either side of the checkpoint turned to look at the girl in the red cape..
