It was night, and the lights and candles of Ming Zhu's Mansion were brilliant, shining like day. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

With exhaustion, haggard faces, and disappointments, everyone gathered again in the council hall.

Ming Zhu Gong sat in the middle, the left hand is the fourteenth prince, the Marquis of Wuyang, the right hand is the eighth prince, the Marquis of Wenqu, etc., and the others are standing on both sides of the hall.

Ming Zhugong turned around the hall and thanked him: "Everyone has worked hard. Regardless of the outcome, I thank you all here! ”

"Are you sure you've found all the houses, ridges, and caves?" The fourteenth prince, Wei Li, asked Hua Meng.

Hua Meng replied to the fourteenth prince: "I've searched all over it, even the mouse hole, and I almost didn't turn Dream Island over." ”

The eighth prince frowned and said to himself, "That bandit is too cunning! Where the hell is he hiding? ”

Marquis Wu Yang sat up straight and said, "Needless to say, he must still be in some unknown place on the island. ”

Wenquhou smiled and said to Wu Yanghou: "Nonsense, who doesn't know this?" If it had been known, would it not have been found for us? But where exactly are they hiding? ”

The Tenth Prince looked at his bodyguard Gao Sheng and asked, "Gao Sheng, did you take Sirius with you today?" ”

Gao Sheng is about thirty years old, and his long Kong Wu is powerful. Seeing that the fourteenth prince asked, he hurriedly replied: "Back to Your Highness, we are afraid that it will hurt people, so we did not bring Sirius with us." ”

"Sirius?" Everyone was puzzled, and they all turned their puzzled eyes to the fourteenth prince.

The fourteenth prince smiled faintly, straightened up, and gestured: "Sirius is a spirit dog brought by Xiao Wang, with an extremely sensitive nose and can recognize the smell from five hundred steps away, but it is irritable and extremely vicious. If you see someone, you will bite, and if you bite it, you will die. In the Xiaowang Mansion, it only recognizes Xiaowang and Gaosheng. It doesn't recognize anyone else. Tomorrow I'll take Sirius to search for it. ”

Ming Zhu leaned forward and said with a smile: "Thank you, Your Highness the Fourteenth!" With Sirius Greyhound joining, the bandit must have nowhere to hide! ”

The next day, the weather was exceptionally good, sunny and pleasant.

All those who can stand up on Dream Island continue to mobilize and launch a comprehensive carpet-style, blind man-like search to every corner of the island once again.

It's a war of self-wrestling, because there's no telling where the opponent is.

But today, in the process of the blind man touching the elephant, there seems to be a ray of light, because of the joining of Sirius.

Sirius was three feet tall and five feet long, and his body was covered in a thick layer of snow-white hair, with only a ring of grayish-black hairs around his neck. With snow-white and sharp teeth and fierce eyes, judging by its name and appearance, Sirius should be a very powerful wolfdog.

But what needs it to play a role today is not its combat power, but the olfactory power of its nose.

Its sense of smell is said to be comparable to, and to some extent, even stronger.

Today the fourteenth prince also personally joined the search operation. Because he was worried that if the wolf star was released one day and his true nature would be revealed, it would be difficult for Gao Sheng alone to stop its ferocious and wild nature, and he was afraid that it would be easy to hurt people. To be honest, Sirius listened most to the words of the Fourteenth Prince himself. To put it simply, if Gaosheng ordered Sirius to bite the Fourteenth Prince, Sirius would not be able to obey, and conversely, if it was the Fourteenth Prince's order, Sirius would probably be reluctant to cut off his love and kill his relatives.

Early in the morning, the Fourteenth Prince had been whispering to Sirius for half an hour, telling him that it was only allowed to find people today, not to bite. Before leaving, I took it to smell and inhale all the items that Song Qi used every day, such as clothes, shoes, towels, etc. The fourteenth prince's soldier, all the belongings were on him, and there was nothing for Sirius to sniff.

Now that it was familiar with Song Qi's taste, it was full of confidence, stretched out its tongue and gasped, and rushed towards the depths of Dream Island with its head up. The fourteenth prince Gao Sheng and others followed closely from behind with a group of men and horses. Sometimes Sirius ran so fast that the teams behind him couldn't keep up, and Gao Sheng whistled and ordered it to slow down.

The other search teams would actively avoid Sirius when they saw it from afar, and some of them were so timid that they hurriedly climbed the tree. However, Sirius was not interested in them, and without raising his eyes, he jumped past them, ran in the direction of Mengyu Mountain, turned a few corners, and climbed the stone path up the mountain.

"That Song Qi must be hiding on this mountain. It seems that he will soon be able to find his person. Gao Sheng said with joy in his heart, rubbed his hands, followed Sirius's footsteps, and ran up the mountain.

Hua Meng sent two family members who knew Song Qi to follow Gao Sheng, one was Ai Cai and the other was Chao Hu, so that he could identify Song Qi's authenticity anytime and anywhere.

Ai Cai followed up the mountain, panting and reminding Gao Sheng: "Song Gongzi often climbs this mountain to play. Therefore, it cannot be judged that he is on this mountain at the moment. ”

Gao Sheng nodded and said, "If that's the case, then Sirius will have to run all over the places Song Qi has been to find Song Qi's whereabouts." It's not hard that way. After all, the island is not big, and this day is enough to run around. ”

Ai Cai said with a smile: "Song Gongzi doesn't go to many places, and the places he often goes to are the archery range, martial arts field, racecourse and this mountain that he passed by just now. ”

Gao Sheng turned his head and pointed down the mountain, and said, "The archery range, the martial arts field, and the racecourse have all been there, and Sirius has all passed and not entered, which means that Song Qi is not there." In this way, it is more likely that Song Qi is on this mountain. ”

The mountain was not high, so they ran non-stop, and reached the top of the mountain in less than half a cup of tea. Although the fourteenth prince Gaosheng and others had martial arts, they ran down like this, and their physical strength was exhausted, and they were all out of breath and sweating. When I arrived at the top of the mountain, I saw what I was sitting on, and as soon as I sat down, I gasped for breath and sweated with my sleeves.

Sirius climbed the mountain with no difficulty, and now it sniffed here and there leisurely on the top of the mountain, and then looked up and down for a moment, and then suddenly let out a roar, and then jumped down the other side of the mountain without hesitation.

From the top of the mountain, you can see groups of people searching for various parts of the island.

Gao Sheng fixed his eyes on Sirius, and when he saw that it was going down, he wanted to follow it, but he couldn't run on his feet for a while, so he said to the fourteenth prince, "Your Highness, Sirius is running down that way. What to do? ”

The fourteenth prince sat on a stone bench, constantly wiping his sweat, and when he saw that Gao Sheng couldn't run, he said, "If you can run, follow first." If you can't run, rest for a while and then go down. ”

That being said, if Gao Sheng can't go, who dares to follow. Gao Sheng was helpless, took a deep breath, shook his legs, and dragged his tired figure in the direction Sirius was running to. At this time, the others were almost rested, and they also followed.

This side is not the same as the direction of the mountain, there are no stone steps here. People can only burrow through the cracks in the trees, and from time to time they wield their knives to cut through thorns and thorns, and make a path.

Sirius was far away by this time, and its figure scurrying through the trees occasionally appeared through the cracks in the trees.

According to what the Fourteenth Prince and Gao Sheng knew about Sirius, it must have been quite close to its target if it was so inexplicably excited and happy.

Gao Sheng led a few people to shout and scream, running lifelessly to catch up, but still couldn't catch up. Although he whistled incessantly, he still couldn't shorten the distance between him and Sirius.

The Fourteenth Prince was further behind. Tong Ku and a few people escorted the fourteenth prince from the crack in the forest and went down one foot deep and one foot shallow. It stands to reason that the son of a daughter is not in danger, but at this moment, if he turns back, he will not be able to take care of Sirius, and he will have to take more than half of the people with him. In that case, their search would be in vain. Therefore, the fourteenth prince had to take a risk.

When the Fourteenth Prince turned a few ridges, crossed a jungle, and finally caught up with Gaosheng and them, he saw a dozen of them gathered under a tree and wept bitterly.

The fourteenth prince's heart tightened, and he hurriedly walked a few steps, pushed away the crowd, and looked inside, only to see Sirius lying on the ground, foaming at the mouth, bleeding from his seven orifices, and dying.

The fourteenth prince didn't care about the dignity of the king at this time, bent his legs, knelt on the ground, picked up Sirius, and cried out bitterly: "Sirius! ”

Sirius heard the call of the fourteenth prince, opened his godless eyes, looked at the fourteenth prince weakly, let out a soft whimper of bitterness, and then shook his feet, slowly closed his eyes, and died.

Seeing this, the fourteenth prince burst into tears and sobbed silently. After a long time, the fourteenth prince raised his head and asked Gao Sheng in a trembling voice, "Who killed Sirius?" ”

Gao Sheng pointed to the half rabbit that was still bleeding on the ground next to him, and replied tremblingly: "When Sirius was running in front, a rabbit suddenly jumped out of nowhere, and Sirius pounced on and bit the rabbit, and as a result, it bled to death. The rabbit must have been poisonous. ”

When the fourteenth prince heard this, he was angry, rushed over and raised his foot violently, kicked the half of the rabbit away, pointed to the depths of the dense forest and roared: "The robbers should be nearby!" Give me a closer look! ”

The robbers must have feared that Sirius would find his hiding place, so they were eager to poison Sirius with a poisonous rabbit. Perhaps the robbers' hideout was nearby.

Although Sirius's death brought out a little clue, dozens of people searched for a mile around the area, and it was disappointing that there was no sign of the robbers, and no trace was found...

The robbers were not found, the hostages were nowhere to be found, and Sirius, the greyhound, died in the line of duty. The frustration and complaints of the people are naturally conceivable.

The search was a failure, and once again it was in vain...
