Blake Harrison traveled day and night regardless of his health and arrived in Huainan on September 14. He and his confidants searched the city of Huainan almost thoroughly, but unfortunately found nothing. The clues were lost again. Even the officer who checked the pass said that it was not possible to know if someone had the same name.
Everyone could only expand the search area around Huainan, but they were not like the Jingyun Tower that specialized in revenge and secret investigation. They had no intelligence network, and relying on such limited manpower, it was like looking for a needle in a haystack as the scope became larger. They had gained almost nothing in recent days.
On September 18, Blake Harrison heard news while searching for someone that the situation in Suzhou had changed. The strength of the enemy and ours was much greater than that of Mu Jingnan, and it was difficult for him to get support. In order to break the siege of Suzhou, the Battle of Dangyang Valley was used to lure the enemy deep into the territory. More than 50,000 Jingyuan troops and 120,000 Xiliang troops were destroyed together, and Mu Jingnan died for his country.
The siege of Suzhou, which had caused unbearable suffering to the military and civilians in the northwest for nearly half a year, was finally lifted, and Mu Jingnan died.
The military report from Suzhou eight hundred miles away was transmitted to the capital two days ago, which means that Mu Jingnan died in the battlefield on the day he left the Jiang family.
