Ji Yanning brought the wound medicine before she came, which came in handy at this time, Xiao Shaobei was not lightly injured, she asked the villagers for some water, and cleaned his wounds in the house.

The guards of the Dingbei Hou Mansion stood guard outside the house, glancing inside from time to time.

Ji Jiu snorted coldly: "Don't worry, if my eldest lady wants to harm him, she will not come to the rescue regardless of her own safety." ”

The guard was seen through his thoughts, and said with a straight face: "The safety of the prince should not be taken lightly. ”

Ji Jiu glanced at him impatiently, and took his own people down to rest, leaving the two of them to take turns watching the movements around them.

Ji Yanning treated all Xiao Shaobei's wounds and began to bandage them with gauze.

Xiao Shaobei saw her with a sad face, and said, "The girl didn't say why she came to the rescue just now?"

Ji Yanning said: "Didn't you send a guard to Jiangzhou to report the news, so we came over, if Lord Cen of Jiangzhou Governor comes, I'm afraid it will take a few hours." ”

Xiao Shaobei said: "Thank you, girl, if you hadn't rescued us in time, I'm afraid we would all die here." ”

"No thanks. Ji Yanning said, "The top priority is to find your father, and at the same time, not to expose you." ”

Xiao Shaobei said: "These people are fierce, and they have been prepared for a long time, they want to put our father and son to death, but I am afraid that they will not easily stop, but I can't figure out why they are so blatantly using officers and soldiers to take the lives of our father and son?"

A chill flashed in Ji Yanning's eyes: "Your father's existence is a threat in itself to some people. ”

How could someone who couldn't catch it all twenty years ago be willing to let him go?

Ji Yanning skillfully helped Xiao Shaobei bandage his wounds, stood up, put away the medicine, suddenly thought of something, and turned to look at Xiao Shaobei: "Who is your mother?"

When she died, Xiao Jifeng had not yet married, and now looking at the young man in front of him, about eighteen or nineteen years old, he didn't know whose girl he married in the end.

Xiao Shaobei was slightly stunned, and didn't react for a while.

Ji Yanning asked again: "Who is your mother?"

Xiao Shaobei felt that the girl in front of him was really strange, but seeing that her eyes seemed to be just a simple question, he replied: "Before my mother became Mrs. Hou, she was just a maid in the house, and she died when I was four years old, so I don't have much impression of her. ”

Ji Yanning nodded as if he didn't understand, and then sighed.

"Do you know my father?" Xiao Shaobei was puzzled.

"I guess I know. Ji Yanning said.

If she was still Ying Caiwei, she would naturally know her, but unfortunately she is Ji Yanning now, who can recognize her?

Is it an acquaintance?

Xiao Shaobei looked at this girl who seemed to be several years younger than herself, and the deep gloom in her eyes was incomprehensible, as if she was telling a story that was a long time ago and vicissitudes.

He lowered his eyes and said, "It's me who is too useless, otherwise my father wouldn't have tried to lure those people away in order to protect me." ”

Ji Yanning's expression was still the same: "It's too early to blame myself, I'll let my guards go to the front to find out the news, just don't reveal your identity and your people." ”

She packed up her medicine box and walked out the door.

Xiao Shaobei looked at Ji Yanning's distant back, his heavy sword eyebrows were still frowning, and he was very worried about his father.

Ji Jiu sent two people to inspect the surroundings, but those officers and soldiers didn't need to chase after them, maybe they didn't expect them to hide in the homes of the villagers, so they didn't come in their direction.

After resting for half an hour, Ji Yanning and the others took Xiao Shaobei to continue to circle a mountain, carefully avoiding the pursuit of the officers and soldiers, and continued to search in the direction where Xiao Jifeng had gone before.

The further they went, the more lush the jungle became, and the road became more difficult to walk, Ji Yanning and the others directly abandoned their horses and walked out into the deep forest on foot.

"Miss, there is a team of officers and soldiers in front, about thirty people. "The wayfinder guards have come back to report.

Ji Yanning said indifferently: "Quietly follow forward, and it will all be destroyed." ”

The guard bowed his head, and followed the eldest lady these days, and seemed to have understood the eldest lady's personality, although when she said such a thing, everyone was not surprised, but immediately ordered.

The reason for not leaving any of them is to prevent them from going back to report the news, and if more officers and soldiers are recruited, it will be even more difficult to deal with.

The officers and soldiers who were looking for Xiao Jifeng did not seem to be aware of the danger, and searched impatiently in the mountains.

"Boss, when are we going to search here?" asked one of the soldiers.

The officer and soldier who took the lead said: "Don't talk so much nonsense, Master Zhu has to continue to look for us if we let us continue, when we will be able to go back when we kill all those bandits." ”

"But those people don't look like they are serious offenders, as if someone has heard that it is a marquis. One of them said, "We're going to do this, we're not going to do anything, are we?"

"What can happen!" The person in charge rolled his eyes at him and said impatiently, "Isn't there a big thing for Master Zhu!

"That's it, it's not the first day to follow Master Zhu, don't ask if you can't ask some things, if you want to eat and drink spicy food, we can't care so much." Someone chimed in.

Ji Yanning hid behind a big tree not far away, pulled up his bow and arrows, and put three sharp arrows on the string of the arrow, aiming at the men who were talking.

Her expression froze, and the arrow in her hand had already left her hand.

Three of the people who were originally talking were hit by arrows in an instant, and they didn't even let out a scream, and fell directly to the ground.

Everyone was shocked and shouted, "There is an ambush!"

As soon as he finished speaking, two more arrows shot out from behind the tree, and the two men fell straight down.

The officers and soldiers drew their swords and rushed in the direction where the arrows were fired, and at this time the guards hidden in the bushes also rushed out.

The arrow in Ji Yanning's hand did not stop, and continued to shoot in the direction of the officers and soldiers.

The officers and soldiers who remained were not strong in combat, and after entangled with them for a while, they were all cleared.

Ji Yanning had also run out of arrows she was carrying, she threw her bow and arrow and quiver on the ground, and led people to continue to search.

After cleaning up the officers and soldiers, it was a lot easier to find Xiao Jifeng, at least he didn't have to worry about being discovered all the time.

I just searched for an afternoon, but I still didn't find the shadow of Xiao Jifeng.

The night gradually darkened, and the coolness in the mountains and forests gradually rose, Ji Yanning looked at the stretching mountains and forests, a little desperate.

"Xiao Storm—"

She couldn't help but roar into the mountains, but only her own echo could be heard in the entire mountain forest, echoing lonely and hesitantly.

Ji Yanning closed his eyes and took a deep breath, trying not to let his tears fall.

Xiao Jifeng is her only relative, and he can't die.

Ji Jiu stepped forward: "Miss, it's dark now, and you can't continue to go forward at all." Lord Cen should have already brought someone here, so let's go back and join Lord Cen first. ”

Ji Yanning raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows, and could only agree with what Ji Jiu said.

They began to walk back, the path was so rough that they had to be careful even if they went back.

Xiao Shaobei walked forward, and suddenly saw something not far away that seemed to shake his eyes, as if it was a sword.

He subconsciously wanted to step forward to see if it was his father's sword, but suddenly his feet were empty, and the whole person fell forward.

Ji Yanning's eyes were quick, and she grabbed him, but unfortunately her strength was not enough to pull Xiao Shaobei back, but he rolled down the hill with him.

"Shizi!"

"Miss!"

Everyone was shocked, and when they tried to reach out and grab them, the two men had disappeared from everyone's view.

"Boss, what should I do?" The guards of the Ji family looked at Ji Jiu and panicked all of a sudden.

The eldest lady is delicate and frail, if she knocks a stone and hits a tree, she is afraid that the injury will not be light, this is only secondary, if she meets a wild wolf in the mountains and forests, how can she fight with the two of them, a seriously injured person and a girl's family?

Ji Jiu pointed at the two people with a calm face and said, "You go and meet Lord Cen and let him bring someone to come to the rescue." The others went down with me to find the eldest lady. ”

They failed to protect the lord and the lady at the beginning, and now they must not let the eldest lady have anything to do.

The guards of the Hou Mansion didn't expect such an accident, but their duty was to protect the prince, and now that the prince had fallen to the bottom of the mountain, they naturally had to find a way to save the prince.

Also in anxiety is Zhu Jinghe.

It's been the third night, and still haven't been able to find Xiao Jifeng and Xiao Shaobei.

It is said that there are many dreams at night, and he knows this truth very well, but no matter how eager he is, he can't find any trace of these people.

Lord Commander came in person, if he can't do it this time, I'm afraid that he won't have a day to turn over in the future.

"Your Excellency!" an officer and soldier rushed forward to report.

Zhu Jinghe's heart was depressed, and he was even more angry when he screamed like this, and shouted: "What a panic!

"No, my lord! It was the soldiers and horses from Jiangzhou, and it was Cen Qingshan, the prefect of Jiangzhou, who came in person. The officer bowed his head and said truthfully.

Jiangzhou?

Zhu Jinghe was stunned for a moment and asked, "What is Cen Qingshan doing at this time?"

The officers and soldiers speculated: "It may be that the people from the Dingbei Hou Mansion have escaped...... Moved the rescuers. ”

Zhu Jinghe listened to his words, and his ears were like a thunderbolt in the sky, and he lost his words for a while.

"Your Excellency......" Seeing that his face was pale, his subordinates called him softly.

Zhu Jinghe came back to his senses, immediately walked outside, and hurriedly walked to Li Xiaoyun's room.

Because he was too nervous, he directly stepped forward and pushed open the door of Li Xiaoyun's room, but before his feet stepped in, a sharp sword was already crossed around his neck.

A cold sweat broke out on his back, and he didn't dare to move.

Li Xiaoyun looked at Zhu Jinghe with sharp eyes, and his bloodthirsty gaze made him dare not even breathe.

"I said, don't come in and out of my room at will. Li Xiaoyun said.

Zhu Jinghe's forehead was full of sweat, and he said curtly: "Captain Lidu, they seem to have moved in to rescue soldiers, and Cen Qingshan, the prefect of Jiangzhou, came over with soldiers and horses." ”
