Chapter 420: Trace

When leaving the customs, it was set for a day's or so journey, so each soldier carried only two days' rations and water. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Ye Yuzhi is no exception.

In the desert, food and water sources are hard to find, and there are very few oases in this area.

What's more, so many days have passed, and the defenders have the rules of the defenders, and it is impossible to bring people into the desert to search because of the disappearance of a soldier.

That's a desert after all.

Not to mention looking for someone, the soldiers who went to find it might all be damaged.

Even if General Huang is willing to go to look for people in private, but the desert is vast, maybe it is close at hand, and there will be no trace because of the yellow sand burial.

Mu Lianxiao's mood was extremely heavy.

This is the case in the army, no one dares to say that there is no need to worry about life, and anything can happen on the battlefield.

Ye Yuzhi chose to join the army, and he would also be prepared for this situation in his heart.

Mu Lianxiao can say that he suggested that Ye Yuzhi come to Shanyuguan not because he wanted to see this situation.

Even if he can't return to Beijing alive, he should die on the battlefield in a bloody battle, not go missing.

Huang Jun had cleaned up the battlefield at that time, and if Ye Yu died in battle, Huang Jun would not miss his bones.

Du Yunluo wrinkled her eyebrows and looked at Mu Lianxiao, she read the heaviness in his eyes.

If Ye Yuzhi loses his trace and can't come back, how will Aunt Liao and An Ran County accept it?

In her previous life, Du Yunluo had tasted the pain of her loved one's death, and she had felt it, so she understood that the taste was heart-wrenching and lungs.

And if the corpse is not returned, just like Mu Liankang who has lost his trace, thinking of Xu's appearance, Du Yunluo can't help but want to sigh.

Mu Lianxiao leaned over the curtain window and said in a deep voice: "This place is not far from Shanyuguan, Yuzhi is missing, although there is little life, but I want to hurry back."

The carriage is slow, and the road is not stable, if you go faster, you and Brother Yan will only be overwhelmed.

Yunluo, I'll go first, and let Jiuxi and Mingliu send you to Shanyuguan. ”

Du Yunluo could tell the priorities, she bowed her head and said: "Shizi, you just have to go, don't worry about me and Brother Yan'er, just two or three days, we will arrive." ”

Mu Lianxiao pursed her lips and smiled, straightened up and carefully admonished Jiuxi and Mingliu, raised her whip, and rushed out on horseback.

The sound of horses' hooves faded away, and Du Yunluo lowered the curtain.

In the next few days, Du Yunluo's mind was not on the scenery around the mountain road, but on hurrying away.

In the evening, they arrived in town.

Mingliu led the way, and the carriage stopped outside a small courtyard.

Du Yunluo helped Jinrui's men get out of the car and glanced at the surrounding environment.

This town is not big, and there are few people, compared to the small courtyard of Xuancheng, the buildings here are completely different, and there are no green trees to be seen, and there is loess at a glance.

The clouds on the horizon were dyed red by the sunset, reflecting the desolation of the town.

Ming Liu said respectfully: "Madame will be on the way." ”

Du Yunluo took Brother Yan from Peng Niangzi and followed Ming Liu to the courtyard.

There is only one courtyard, which is also the main house, the left and right wings, but there is no inverted seat and back cover room, and there is no corridor through the hall.

There is no shadow wall at the entrance, and you can see the main door with a blue cotton curtain at a glance.

Although it is simple, Du Yunluo feels fresh, and it is the first time she has lived in such a house in two lifetimes.

Especially in the inner room, there is a kang instead of a bed, she glanced at the kang mouth and said with a smile: "It's a pity that it's still summer, otherwise you can try the feeling of burning the kang." ”

As soon as the words came out, everyone laughed.

The maids and mothers-in-law didn't dare to be picky, and what they were worried about in their hearts was that the delicate Du Yunluo would not be used to it, and they were all relieved to see that she was quite satisfied at this time.

Sammo Hung and Jinrui and Jinlan packed their luggage together.

Ming Liu and Du Yunluo saluted and went to Shanyuguan to report the news.

Du Yunluo stood in the courtyard and asked Jiuxi, "How far is it from the pass where the prince is here?" I heard it was an hour or two? ”

Jiuxi touched his nose and said, "If you run non-stop, you won't be able to get there in an hour."

When the master changes his guard and rests, if the lady wants to go over, the carriage is also convenient. ”

Du Yunluo bowed.

When the sun went down, the house was lit with lights.

Du Yunluo sat in the carriage for a few days, feeling uncomfortable, freshened up, and said, "It's tonight, let's rest early." ”

Jinrui asked her, "Doesn't Madame wait for the son?" ”

Du Yunluo made a slight calculation, when Mingliu returned to Shanyuguan, it was already dark, Mu Lianxiao should not come overnight, she said, "Don't wait, sleep." ”

Jinrui helped her to the kang and blew the lamp.

The first time she slept on the big kang, the novelty couldn't stop the tiredness, and Du Yunluo fell asleep quickly.

In the dead of night, she heard the door creak open, and she woke up with a stir, rolled over and sat up.

"Woke you up?"

Mu Lianxiao's voice came from the darkness, and Du Yunluo's heart fell suddenly.

When she came back in the middle of the night, Mu Lianxiao climbed onto the kang after a simple freshening.

Du Yunluo asked him in a suppressed voice: "You won't come back." ”

"I'm afraid you won't be able to get used to it." Mu Lianxiao hugged Du Yunluo and said.

Du Yunluo slightly adjusted her posture: "Is there any news from Master Ye?" ”

Mu Lianxiao sighed lowly: "After Huang Jun found out that he was gone, he took a few personal soldiers out of the customs to look for him.

Not to mention the traces of Yuzhi, I can't even find the place where I fought with the private soldiers of Changping Bofu before.

I don't know if I found the wrong place, or if I buried it in the yellow sand.

It can only be fruitless.

I tried to find it yesterday, but it didn't work.

To tell the truth, it is impossible for General Huang or me to send a large number of defenders to search for one of them, even if I am missing in the desert, General Huang will not be able to come to me regardless of the safety of the defenders. ”

Du Yunluo twisted her eyebrows, gently kicked Mu Lianxiao, and said angrily: "I understand the truth, don't say such unlucky words." ”

Mu Lianxiao smiled and rubbed Du Yunluo's hair: "Sleep, let's talk about it tomorrow." ”

There was no curtain, and as soon as it was dawn, Du Yunluo opened her eyes as soon as it was shining through the window.

Mu Lianxiao was about to go out to practice, and while rolling up her sleeves, she said, "You can sleep for a while, it's rare to get up so early on weekdays." ”

"Don't sleep," Du Yunluo got up with her clothes on, "You're going back to Shanyuguan later, right?" I'll wait for you to go and then go back to sleep. ”

This is reluctant to miss the time with him, and I can't wait to stick to him, just one more moment.

Mu Lianxiao couldn't help laughing, called Jinrui to come in to serve Du Yunluo, and went out first.

Seeing Mu Lianxiao finish practicing, Jiuxi went to buy some and came back early.

Yesterday they arrived late, and the town was not prosperous, and only in broad daylight did they buy things.

Along the way, there were no inns and inns, and almost all of them ate dry food.

Early this morning, Jiuxi wanted to change Du Yunluo's taste.

After breakfast, Mu Lianxiao was about to set off, and Ming Liu rushed into the courtyard. (To be continued.) )
