Chapter 186: An Embroidered Shoe
Then Xie Cheng led a large group of people and horses, and set off towards Xuanzi Mountain, the mountain road was rugged and difficult, and the leg strength was much slower, and it took most of the day to come to the vicinity of Xuanzi Mountain.
Xie Cheng scattered the people and spread them all over Xuanzi Mountain, searching them one by one, while he led a team to the southwest to search.
searched all the way, but did not find Jiang Yin's whereabouts, and after about half a pillar of incense, they came to a forest.
The trees were dense and dense, Xie Cheng couldn't see the road in front of him clearly, the trees were towering, and he couldn't see the vast sky when he looked up.
The sun poured down from the gaps in the trees like spring rain, and the whole forest seemed like a shadow from a distance.
Xie Cheng looked at the woods in front of him and fell into deep thought, the trees here are the same, each tree is a form, there are only subtle differences, if you don't distinguish carefully, you can't see the difference between them at all.
The whole forest is like a labyrinth, and it is not easy to get out of it, let alone hide a person here, and finding a hiding place is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack.
Xie Cheng sighed, he was willing to do his best for Jiang Yin, even if he gave up his life.
"This forest is so psychedelic that it must not be so easy to get out of."
As soon as the words fell, the guards looked at each other, and their hearts retreated, and some of the guards' steps had begun to move quietly to the rear.
Seeing this, Xie Cheng's anger soared, and he looked at the guard in front of him with a dark face and shouted.
"Who of you dares to take a step back today, shoot and kill!"
As soon as these words came out, the guards were frightened one by one, and their moving footsteps quietly moved back little by little.
Xie Cheng is not unkind, he thought about it, and he could understand their feelings, between life and death, who would be righteous and rush forward desperately?
"Those who dare to move forward will be rewarded when they go back, and if you can find the whereabouts of the sound girl, you can say whatever you want."
Xie Cheng boasted that he went to the sea, which stabilized the morale of the army, and when the guards heard that the reward was so rich, how could they care about the danger or not, and they all walked towards the woods enthusiastically.
At this time, Xie Cheng shouted, "It's best for everyone to follow one by one, don't get separated, if you get lost and can't find your way, stand in place and wait for rescue." ”
Hearing this, the guards praised Xie Cheng's wisdom, no longer held a negative attitude, and actively searched for Jiang Yin's whereabouts.
About half a pillar of incense, Xie Cheng was stunned.
This seems to be the place he has been here before, he was shocked, could it be that he was also lost, obviously he had been moving in one direction before, why did he return to the same place, could it be that this place is round?
Xie Cheng had some doubts in his heart, and he looked thoughtfully at the road ahead.
At this time, the guards who had gone to look for clues also returned here.
Xie Cheng's head flashed, "Everyone follow me, don't get separated." ”
This time, Xie Cheng still walked in one direction, but when he arrived at a place, he made a mark on the tree, and in this order, he walked for about another stick of incense.
There were two paths on the way, one was a large road that was faintly visible in the woods, overgrown with weeds, and the other was a very obvious and very narrow path.
Xie Cheng decisively chose the faintly visible road, and soon after following this road, he could see a ruined temple.
Xie Cheng was overjoyed in his heart, and hurriedly rushed into the broken temple with the guards, the broken temple was messy, but from the decoration and use of the broken temple, it can be seen that it was inhabited not long ago.
"Enter and search me carefully, and don't let go of any place." Xie Cheng took the lead in searching.
At this moment, the voice of a guard sounded in the corner, "Childe, I found it." ”
Xie Cheng looked to the corner excitedly when he heard the sound, but found that the guard was holding an embroidered shoe in his hand, Xie Cheng walked up to the guard with some disappointment, looked at it, and showed an excited look on his face again.
Xie Cheng took the embroidered shoes and took a closer look, only to see the corners of his mouth raised, revealing a trace of a smile that was fleeting.
There is a small dark flower on the side of the embroidered shoe, and the word "Yin" is embroidered under the flower, which is a unique symbol on the embroidery used by Yinjiang.
Embroidered shoes are so easy to spot, but they don't know that this is exactly what the enemy has set up.
The clues they deliberately left were to attract Xie Cheng's attention, otherwise, how could the thieves not find such a large object when they left.
Xie Cheng was immersed in Jiang Yin's embroidered shoes, so he didn't care about this detail.
He looked at the embroidered shoes, he had never been so worried about her.
Whether she was killed or not, whether she was safe and sound, Xie Cheng's heart was flustered.
It was getting late, but Xie Cheng did not give up the idea of looking for Jiang Yin.
He stayed up all night and searched the vicinity of the ruined temple, but never found any clues about Yinjiang.
Xie Cheng returned to the house disappointed, for a whole day and a night, he stayed awake all night and only found an embroidered shoe, and never found any other clues.
Xie Cheng was exhausted and prepared to go into the inner room to rest for a while before going somewhere else to continue searching.
As soon as he lay down, Mu Yun came to report, "Master, Her Royal Highness the Princess and General Shen have come to visit." ”
Xie Cheng waved his hand casually, "No, just say I'm asleep." ”
"You're such a big shelf, you have to dismiss even my face." The person who spoke was none other than Shen Yang.
Xie Cheng had no choice but to get up and look at the two of them with an indifferent face.
Xue Yue was pleased to see that Xie Cheng's face was not good, and hurriedly took a step forward.
"Brother Xie Cheng, why is your face so ugly, is it because you haven't rested?"
Shen Yang glanced at Xie Cheng angrily, he was angry in his heart, he was jealous that Xue Yuexin always cared about Xie Cheng and forgot about his existence.
"He deserves it, and I think it's futile and useless."
As soon as these words came out, Xie Cheng came to his senses, and his eyes stared at Shen Yang sharply.
"What do you mean by that, how do you know what I have done?"
Shen Yang was stunned for a moment, he almost missed his mouth.
"You searched for people all over the city, and the whole city was in an uproar, who doesn't know?"
Xie Cheng's face was expressionless, and he fell into deep thought again.
"If you look at your decadent appearance, you know that you are tossing around." The more Shen Yang spoke, the more energetic he became, not caring about Xie Cheng's feelings at all.
Xue Yuexin hurriedly grabbed Shen Yang's arm, shook his head, and motioned for him not to say any more.
Shen Yang patted Xue Yuexin's hand and continued to look at Xie Cheng.
"I don't think you should look for it, it's all useless, even if you dig three feet into the ground, you can't find the whereabouts of brewing."
Xie Cheng was stunned, and then looked at Shen Yang with a cold face.
Why did Shen Yang know that he was looking for someone as soon as he opened his mouth?
Even if he sent someone to find it, he didn't say that the person he was looking for was Yin Jiang, why did he insist that what he was looking for was pain, there must be something strange in this!
Shen Yang was stared at by Xie Cheng, "Look at what I'm doing!" ”
Xie Cheng didn't pay attention to Shen Yang, he turned to look at Xue Yuexin.
