557 Scorched Earth
557 Scorched Earth (Yesterday's Update)
"Why is Guard Zhan here at this time?"
"Tracking the thieves here, seeing a group of people sneaking around on the mountains, I was puzzled, and I followed them all the way, only to know that they wanted to be unfavorable to the second prince." In a hurry, Zhan Yang had no choice but to find this statement.
"I see, this king is really lucky, he can meet Zhan Guard, who is strong in martial arts, otherwise today's things may not be good."
"The second prince is strict, it is the second prince Ji Ren who has his own natural appearance, and Zhan Yang's meager strength does not dare to take credit." Zhan Yang bowed his head and replied neither humbly nor arrogantly.
"During the Double Ninth Festival, Zhan's guards did not accompany Lord Bao to celebrate the festival in the mansion, but were also busy catching thieves for the government, this loyalty is really touching."
"Public before private, this is what my generation should do. Since the second prince was fine, Zhan Yang went back to report to Lord Bao first. After Zhan Yang finished speaking, he left, this Zhan guard, although he has been in the court for many years, he has not lost his arrogance, he can do this step is already to give face to the second prince, if the second prince is aggressive, he probably won't buy it.
"Second prince, Zhan's guards are too rude, do you want to ......be a subordinate?"
The second prince gave a look and interrupted what the servant was about to say. "Zhan Yang's martial arts, can you move it? This person is known as a hero of benevolence and righteousness, arrogance is inevitable, and there may not be disrespect. Alright, it's not too early, let's hit the road—"
The mount was injured in the chaos just now, and the group had to abandon the horse and walk, and the second prince asked his subordinates to lead his horse to follow, and he took the lead to rush back to the Qianqiu Pavilion.
After the war, the second prince body had consumed a lot, but he was worried about the situation of the Qianqiu Pavilion. Hurry back. Although there is a northern head Yang Zhang guarding the safety inside the pavilion. But the second prince is still not at ease. Those people knew how important the mother was to her. If they work together, it is not impossible to kill him, and it is not impossible to catch the mother concubine and force him to compromise.
The second prince still just reacted to this, judging from that person's scheming and calculation, there should not be only an ambush. Although these people are ambushing here, their kung fu is not very good, and as far as he knows. That man raised a group of dead soldiers under his command, and they didn't appear here, did they appear in the Qianqiu Pavilion?
Or maybe their original purpose was not to kill him at all, and those people must have known that it was not easy to kill him, so their real goal should be Qianqiu Pavilion-
Subconsciously looked in the direction of the Qianqiu Pavilion, only to see that above the Qianqiu Pavilion, wisps of green smoke lit up, and the green smoke was like a bewitching life-urging talisman, and it was like a soul-locking bell that struck on the tip of people's hearts.
The hearts of the two princes stopped beating. The panic in my heart spread to my throat for a while, and I started to do light work. Regardless of the boiling blood after the battle just now, he rushed back like crazy.
"Master—"
Those subordinates didn't know what happened to the master suddenly, but they didn't dare to delay one by one, and they all followed.
From here to Qianqiu Pavilion, there are not many roads, but at this time, in the eyes of the second prince, there are thousands of mountains and rivers, and no matter how you hurry, you can't get to the destination.
Finally arrived at the Qianqiu Pavilion, but at this time the Qianqiu Pavilion was a scorched earth. The courtyard of the dilapidated house does not see a little bit of life. The rafters collapsed, the gate withered, and the Qianqiu Pavilion, which was still alive in the morning, disappeared in this fire.
The second prince was stunned on the spot, looking at the scene in front of him, he only felt that the whole person seemed to have fallen into a cold pool, and his body kept seeping down, unable to breathe, and unable to escape.
"Master, this-"
The second prince collapsed to the ground, and he no longer had the courage to look at it.
Could it be that all these people have died in this fire?
In the previous battle, they were in the valley and in the midst of fierce battles, and they couldn't see what happened to this Qianqiu Pavilion. If they had known that something would happen here, even if the second prince fought for his life, he would not put them in danger.
It's all to blame on him, he thought he could control that person, so he kept him, wanted to use him, and continued to fight with him, which led to today's disaster.
He should have been the first to get rid of him that day. The hatred in the eyes of the second prince was so hot that it could burn all the surrounding qiē. The nails sank deep into the dirt and the whole person lost his mind. He swore that he would make sure that man would die a bad death and pay for his mother's life!
The other subordinates didn't know what was going on, and they didn't know what they were looking for in the ruins.
"What about Beishou and Yang Zhang? Where are they-"With them, how could Qianqiu Pavilion take it lightly and let others burn it?"
This is Zhang Hui, who grew up with Yang Zhang, the head of the north, and followed the second prince together. Beishou and Yang Zhang are in the dark, he is in the light, he knows that his two brothers are strong in martial arts, and they are the most powerful masters under the master's seat, with them, how could Qianqiu Pavilion become like this?
This sentence reminded the second prince, and he seemed to have figured out something, and suddenly rushed up from the ground, anxiously looking for it in the ruins.
His expression was so crazy, and the light in his eyes was amazing, it was the light that all his hopes ignited, and once this light was extinguished, it represented dead silence.
No, no, nothing!
The second prince looked up happily and looked at the sky with a smile.
No, they're not here.
Does the fact that their bodies have not been found mean that there is still hope for them? The second prince almost cried with joy, but the second prince thought again, if they were not buried here, then where would they be now?
The mother concubine, Miss Li, Lu Hong, and Yang Zhang, the head of the north, these dozens of people in Qianqiu Pavilion, where are they now?
Did it fall into the hands of those people and be taken by those people? The second prince's heart tightened, but he immediately shook his head again, impossible, with Yang Zhang, the head of the north, and so many of his secret guards, it is impossible for them to be arrested.
Qianqiu Pavilion is guarded by them, and those people can't break in at all. And they rushed all the way back and found no trace of them. Although there were other ways down the mountain, it was impossible for them to go without revealing a trace of so many people with them.
Could it be that they are secretly doing it? This is also impossible, Beishou Yang Zhang has been by his side for many years, not only strong in martial arts, but also cautious, and has never been on a business trip all these years. Qianqiu Pavilion is calm on the surface, but it is heavily guarded inside, otherwise it would not have been calm for so many years.
But now, with a ruin in front of him and blank eyes, how can he believe that they are safe and sound?
"Master-" Zhang Hui called softly, and his heart was also very uncomfortable. The boy doesn't flick when he has tears, just because he hasn't reached the sad place. His good brothers, who lived and died together, are still uncertain about life and death, and the master he respects and admires, he has never seen him like this, and it is sad to watch.
"Find."
"Master."
"Find me! ——" The second prince suddenly yelled, "I'll find it—"
"Yes."
Zhang Hui's body trembled, and he hurriedly led people down.
They searched for the middle of the night, searched all the places around them, and they couldn't find anyone's whereabouts.
The second prince was also helping to find them at first, and at first he was full of hope, and he struggled to lift every burned rafter and rummage through every inch of scorched earth, hoping to find them.
Although he knew, there was no clue to be found in it, and there was no way that a big living person was hiding. But he still searched patiently, he was afraid that if he didn't go on like this, the panic would completely drown him out—
I've been looking for hours in a row, and it's almost dawn. Many of them were already exhausted, and many of them had been wounded in the previous battle, and they had already exhausted themselves after looking outside all night.
And the second prince, disappointed again and again, finally lost a trace of strength, and fell into the dilapidated scorched earth, his eyes confused.
The calm earth was covered with the first rays of clear light, and the morning sun in the east slowly rose. The morning sun is supposed to make people feel warm, but at this time it is a chill.
The second prince sat on a dilapidated door, motionless.
Suddenly, there was a sound in the silent earth. This sound seems to come from the sky, and it is close to the ear. The second prince's reaction slowed down by half a beat, and his body was sore and tired as if he had a consciousness of his own, so he didn't think much about it, and slowly turned his head.
The sound came from the ground in the middle of the ruins, as if there was someone underground. The second prince looked at the source of the sound and slowly turned back. Suddenly, as soon as his dull eyes moved, he jumped up from the ground as if he had been suddenly pricked, like a sound source.
At this moment, a stone slab was gradually pushed up, revealing a hole the size of two people to enter and exit.
Beishou and Yang Zhang poked their heads out of there, and as soon as they looked up, they saw that a shadow was pressing down, and it was actually their master.
"Master—"
The second prince looked at them in disbelief and excitement, and then a fierce man stretched out his hand and pulled the two people up.
"What about the others?"
"It's all in there—"
As soon as he finished saying this, the second prince jumped down without hesitation.
All the people are in this tunnel. When the second prince went down, the first person he saw was Li Banxia. At this time, she was squatting beside a maid, dealing with her twisted foot and neck.
Seeing her again, it was as if she had come back to life. The second prince's heart was agitated, he didn't think much about it, his feet had their own consciousness, and walked towards Li Banxia.
As soon as Li Banxia stood up, he was still wondering, and he was included in the arms of a person.
This embrace was so tight that she was almost out of breath, and she could feel the fear of the second prince, so she didn't push him away.
Whoever sees yesterday's scene must be terrified. Especially the second prince is so filial, it was not easy to learn that Concubine Dan's illness had hope of being cured, but it was going to be lost in the next moment, and it would collapse on anyone.
Li Banxia patted him on the back and told the second prince what he needed to hear the most now: "Concubine Dan is fine, it's inside." ”
