Sori didn't say much to them, and directly took out the token, and those city guards recognized the token, and hurriedly knelt down and said: "Knock on the throne to see the king of Guojun, the prince is a thousand years old." ”

Sori took back the token and said, "Get up, quickly open the city gates, and let this king out of the city." ”

"This ......" The city guards looked at each other, and one of them stood up and said: "Lord Qiqi, once the city gate is locked, unless there is a major military event, it is better to rest on the city tower for a while, wait until the city gate is opened, and then go out of the city!" ”

"Bold!" Sori lowered his face and shouted: "If you miss the important matter of this king, even if you have ten heads, even if you are a small city guard, it will not be enough to lose it." ”

"You are guilty of lowly duties, please forgive me!" Seeing that he was angry, the city guards hurriedly knelt down and pleaded guilty, and they were entangled in their hearts, neither wanting to offend Yunli, nor wanting to take the responsibility for opening the city gate without permission, and they did not know what to do.

"If you know that you are guilty, you should not open the gates of the city." Seeing that those city guards were still kneeling on the ground and did not move, Sori became more and more anxious in his heart, and said: "If you don't open the city gate again, don't blame this king for being polite!" ”

"The prince is angry, it's not that he refuses to open his humble position, but where his duty lies, in case the prefect is to blame, he can't explain his humble position!" After going around in a circle, the city guards finally said the biggest fear in their hearts.

Sori barely suppressed his anger and said, "If the prefect is to blame, let him come to the Fuyun Inn to see this king, and this king will explain to him, and open the city gate immediately!" Otherwise, tomorrow, when the king sees the prefect, he will definitely accuse you of the crime of deliberately making things difficult. ”

The city keeper kowtowed in panic and said, "Don't dare to be lowly and open the city gate." ”

The reason why he didn't dare to open it was because he was afraid that the prefect would blame him, and now the king of Guojun was willing to bear it, and he also said that the inn where he would settle down, and they would naturally not make it difficult for them, so they immediately went to open the city gate.

Sori secretly breathed a sigh of relief, he finally deceived the city gate open, as for whether it would cause trouble in the future, he couldn't care about it, the most important thing at the moment was to find the prince.

Sori took Ah Heng and them all the way out of the city, and then according to Ling Ruo's previous words, they went to the mountains and corners to look for them, shouting loudly as they searched, and the dark sky made it extremely difficult for them to find people.

All the people were divided into three groups, except for the side of the city wall, each group was responsible for one side, and they sought the mountains and the water when they encountered the water, whether they were found or not, and met at the city gate after dawn.

Ah Heng and Ah Cheng are in charge of the west, and this side is also the side with the most mountains, the two searched around, but found nothing except for the clothes on their bodies that were cut by trees and several holes, and at this time, the sky was already dark.

"Damn, where the hell is the prince?!" After looking for a long time, Yi Ah Cheng's calm heart couldn't help but be a little anxious, and his hand tightly grasped the long knife worn at his waist.

"Wang Ye Ji is a celestial person, it will be fine." Ah Heng was also full of anxiety, but he was better than Ah Cheng, and he could hold it for the time being, "Keep looking, if the prince really comes here to look for perilla grass, it should be nearby, and he won't go far." ”

As they spoke, they had come to the side of a mountain, the steep slope of which was daunting, and they did not dare to get too close, lest one of them accidentally step on the air and lose their lives.

Ah Cheng glanced down the mountain, and was about to leave, Ah Heng suddenly grabbed his hand and said, "Look, what kind of flower is this growing among the mountains and rocks?" ”

"Flowers?" Ah Cheng looked in the direction of Ah Heng's finger and saw a black-purple flower swaying in the wind among the mountains and rocks.

In Ah Cheng's puzzled gaze, Ah Heng said: "I remember that when Lord Sori was talking to Niangniang, he mentioned that the perilla grass flowers that are more than five years old are black and purple. Black-purple flowers are extremely rare, at least I haven't seen them in years, so it seems that this plant should be perilla grass. And you see, in the soil near this flower, there are traces of rhizomes being pulled up, and I think that the perilla grass near it was plucked by someone, and I can't think of anyone else who would risk coming to such a place to fold perilla grass except the prince. Ah Heng has always been taciturn, and it is rare to say so many words in one breath.

Ah Cheng thought about it and said, "According to what you say, the prince should be nearby, but we have been looking for so long, and we have never seen the prince." ”

"There's still a place I haven't found!" Saying this, Ah Heng pointed to the bottom of the mountain, Ah Cheng understood what he meant, nodded and said, "Then let's go down and find it." ”

Ah Heng looked at the sky and hesitated, naturally not because he was afraid that the mountain would be too steep, but because Sori had said before that no matter whether he found the prince or not, he would meet at the city gate at dawn. But if you rush to the city gate now, if the prince is really below, it will be more dangerous a moment later.

Just when he wanted to discuss with Ah Cheng whether to find someone to report to the rendezvous, he found that Ah Cheng had climbed the mountain rocks, and in desperation, he could only follow him, no matter what, finding the prince was the most important thing.

When they climbed down the hill and found Yunli, the others rushed to the gate of the city one after another, and whenever they saw a person, Sori would ask him if he had ever found the prince, but the answer he received was to shake his head.

Everyone came, only Ah Heng and Ah Cheng had not arrived, and after waiting for a while, someone worried: "Lord Sori, Ah Heng will they encounter any danger, why don't we go and find out?" ”

"No need, we'll go back to the city now." Sori's words stunned everyone, and said: "Lord Sori, aren't we looking for the prince, and Ah Heng, and the life and death are unknown at the moment." ”

Sori said in a deep voice: "The prince must find it, but there are too few of us, and we are not familiar with this place, so it is not a way to find it like this." Although the prince told us before that he would not let us alarm the government of the place we passed through, but in this situation, we must rely on the strength of the government here. ”

Everyone would not have any objection to Sori's words, and agreed in unison, and then rode into the city, but soon they stopped, because a carriage was quietly parked on the side of the road, and Ping'er stood next to the carriage, and as soon as she saw them coming, she immediately greeted them and said eagerly: "How, have you found the seventeenth master?" ”

Sori shook his head, and then said, "Is Madame here too?" ”

"Yes, Madame is worried about the safety of the seventeenth master, and she can't sleep, and before the city gate is opened, she asks people to wait here in the carriage." Speaking of this, Ping'er said unrelentingly: "Is there really no news at all?" ”

"If there is, it would be good." With that, Sori jumped off his horse and came to the carriage, clenching his fists and calling out "Madame".
