Chapter 458
After Wei Shenqi and the others discovered the cave, they hurriedly entered the palace and told the queen that they had searched all the places in the past four months, and all the levels had set up inspection channels, and if the emperor was really alive, they would definitely find out.
But they haven't found it for so long, and if they are still alive, it must be in a place they don't even know.
On this Mid-Autumn Festival full moon night, almost everyone is celebrating a happy festival, Qi Qi and Wei Shen know that they have not completed the task and are unwilling to return to the Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet, who can know that there will be new discoveries today?
The morale of all the soldiers was boosted.
After asking Qi Qi to hurry back to the palace to tell the queen mother, Wei Shen was going to take people deep into the pond cave, although it was a full moon night, they could see the road ahead clearly according to the moonlight and torches, but the only thing they could discern the direction was those fireworks.
"Move fast! Find the entrance before the fireworks run out! Wei Shen looked at the fireworks that bloomed in the sky, and he was very anxious, as long as it was fireworks, there was a time when they would return to dullness.
If you wait until tomorrow to find it, it's too late.
Wei Shen had an intuition in his heart that the emperor was most likely in the place where the fireworks were set off.
The soldiers who are familiar with the terrain take the miniature map here and look at it over and over again, this is not a place recorded on the map, the entrance of the cave is extremely hidden, if you don't know that there can be people there, you will never feel that behind the ordinary bushes is a cave that can pass people.
Because of the topography of the riverbank, the direction of the water flow is not very obvious, Wei Shen guessed that if the emperor followed the water flow at that time, he accidentally hit the reef hidden on the river bank at that time and changed the direction of the flow.
This cave is hidden behind the bushes, and at first glance it is thought to be a rocky cliff, and it is impossible to find a cave behind it.
"General Wei! We can only find a ship of this size, and we can't go in at all! ”
When Wei Shen and the others found this cave, it was already late at night, and they couldn't hurry back to Shangjing to dispatch ships, and now there were only a few simple wooden boats, but it was obvious that they could not enter the cave smoothly.
"Aren't there any other ships?" The boats in front of me can only go to the mouth of the cave, and they can't go in if they open the reeds.
Several soldiers looked at each other and said, "Right now, we only have these boats, and no one would have thought that there would be such a narrow cave." ”
A soldier poked out of the water, and then came out and said to Wei Shen: "General Wei, this side can pass people, I'm afraid there are some difficulties with our existing ships." ”
Wei Shen looked at the boat brought by the soldiers, and then looked back at the cave, there was indeed some reluctance.
All the soldiers are waiting for Wei Shen to give an order, tonight is the Mid-Autumn Festival, Wei Shen and Yi Qi are reluctant to go back to Beijing for the festival, but they can't prevent others from letting others celebrate the festival, so they can only bring a dozen people to find it.
Although they know that hope is very slim, their morale is not high, but it seems that only by working hard for one thing can they get by on their conscience.
But no one thought that today, with a few of them, on the night of the full moon of the Mid-Autumn Festival, when all families were reunited, with the few fireworks that bloomed in the sky, they would be able to find this cave hidden behind the bushes.
The weather seems to be a little cooler on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, and it is not at all like when I first started looking for the emperor?? In the hot weather, Wei Shen looked at the soldiers, and then looked up at the fireworks that were blooming in the sky.
Wei Shen knew very well in his heart that this might be their only chance, and the hard work paid off, they didn't go to the Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet, and on this night that seemed to be no different from usual, the fireworks blooming in the sky lived up to their efforts.
???? But they also understand that fireworks are easy to cold, and it seems that the fireworks will soon be gone, and when the time comes, they can't tell the direction, and they don't know what the situation is in the cave, and it will be even more difficult to find the place of the fireworks, which is directly related to their search for the emperor's traces.
"General Wei, do you want to transfer people from Shangjing quickly? If this is to pass through the cave, it must be a few people who know the water, after all, none of us know what the situation is like on the other side of the cave, general, we can't risk this?? Dangerous ??????"
There was a soldier who looked at Wei Shen with a hesitant expression, and he couldn't help but be a little anxious. ????
None of them knew the gravity and urgency of the matter right now, but they couldn't guarantee that there was the answer they wanted in the cave????
In the past four months, they have experienced countless disappointments, each time when they thought they were about to find it, but the ending told them that everything was fake.
???? And this time, even Wei Shen believes that behind this firework there will be the person they have been looking for.
"It's too late.??" Wei Shen looked at the fireworks in the sky overhead, and then looked at the cave that could only be swam by himself, behind the darkness, Wei Shen didn't know what was waiting for him, but he thought that finding the emperor was his responsibility now, even if there were thousands of dangers and tribulations, he had to give it a try!
"Now you send a few people back to the capital to join Master Qiqi, remember to add more people to come, if there are small boats, bring them all over quickly??。??"?? Wei Shen said to the soldiers with a stern expression, and then looked at the cave, "Now that I have finally found a clue, I will never give up, if you are willing to come with you, come together.??"??
People are afraid of the unknown, this is a very normal thing, Wei Shen did not do too much harshness, and planned to take the lead in setting an example, but to be honest, Wei Shen did not think about letting them go with him, no one knew what would be in the cave.
Several soldiers looked at each other, looked at General Wei Shen who was untying his clothes on the riverbank, and felt a little ashamed in his heart, saying that he was a good brother who shared life and death and weal and woe, how could they be worthy of the oath they had made now?
"General Wei Shen is like this, how dare we shirk as subordinates??????????" After those few people left, one of the remaining soldiers couldn't look at it and followed General Wei Shen to undress on the riverside.
How dare others be greedy for life and afraid of death when they see it?
They have been in their comfort zone for too long, forgetting their responsibilities and raising soldiers for a thousand days. That's probably what it means, right.??
Wei Shen saw them go into the water with him, and he was a little moved in his heart, and then said, "Wait?? If you find the emperor, I will definitely reward you! ”
"General Wei, we are all working hard for the imperial court, and it is natural to be loyal to the monarch, don't say this kind of thing again."
When Wei Shen heard this, he didn't say anything more, and after taking off his clothes, he walked into the icy river with a few soldiers.
The river sparkles in the moonlight, and fireworks also bloom overhead, reflecting in the river, which is very beautiful.
Wei Shen and they slowly walked into the water, the water in late autumn was very cold, they had been soaking in the water for a few months, and their body bones seemed to be even worse than before, as soon as they walked into the water, Wei Shen had some grinning teeth and gasped: "Big guys, be careful!" The water of this river is cold and biting, and the bottom is even more unfathomable, and there are unknown dangers in the cave, so everyone is very careful! ”
"Yes!!"
After everyone entered the water, they could feel the cold water of the river, but their morale was indeed unprecedentedly high.
"When I return to Shangjing, please drink!" Seeing this, Wei Shen said while the iron was hot.
Today, when the family is reunited, let them do this kind of drudgery, Wei Shen is also unbearable, but there is no way, but fortunately, he is not a vicious subordinate, and he is the most able to calm people's hearts.
In this way, they slowly supported each other and groped forward under the moonlight.

In the palace, Liang Huanqing looked at the chess kneeling in front of him with a shocked face, and when he heard the news that he had Qi Jingqin, he didn't know if this was a dream for a while.
Liang Huanqing stood in place and thought for a long time, his mind suddenly emptied, and tears flowed down his eyes.
"Queen Mother......" Yuebai was also very distressed when she saw it, she knew how Liang Huanqing had spent the past four months, she was not in good health, but she had lost a lot of weight in the past few months, and Yuebai was really distressed when she looked at it.
"You're talking about...... Are you sure? Liang Huanqing looked at Qi Qi, who was kneeling on the ground and also crying bitterly, she walked towards him step by step and stopped in front of him, "Are you telling the truth?" ”
Obviously, Liang Huanqing couldn't believe that she could really find Qi Jingqin, although she kept saying that she didn't believe that the emperor was dead, but after these four months, she didn't believe it and believed it, and she could only hope that they could find the emperor's body and finally be buried in the imperial mausoleum.
But I didn't expect that I really found it.
Qi Qi burst into tears, looked up at the queen mother, and said, "Really...... Wei Shen: They found a cave, like it can lead to a village, which we haven't found before......"
"Are you still alive?" Liang Huanqing slowly squatted down, looked at the chess kneeling on the ground, and asked cautiously.
Qi Qi looked at the queen mother, who was also in great pain, and cried and said: "I don't know yet, but General Wei Shen said that he must still be alive, and he must be there!" ”
Liang Huanqing listened, her eyes seemed to be burning with some hope, she suddenly seemed to think of something, turned to look at Yuebai, touched the jewelry on her head, and hurriedly said: "Yuebai...... Moon White ...... I'm now, am I still good-looking? Could it be that you are a lot haggard because you haven't rested? It's a lot uglier than before, right? ”
She was now dressed in a lilac gown embroidered with blooming purple irises and its fluttering petals, lined with a milky white silver silk light gauze shirt. A light blue drape is tied around the waist to accentuate the slender and well-proportioned figure. The hair is combed into a flowing bun, with a few hairpins dotted with hairpins, and the other hair is naturally combed into a strand, and a purple hairband is tied at the end of the hair, which is modified with a small crystal hairpin. Without any powder, the curved willow eyebrows are still charming; The big eyes of the water spirit are still black and bright, emitting a slight electricity; The fair skin is still white and red, the lips are still ruddy, and the lips are still exuding a faint fragrance, refreshing, elegant and refined, as if she is a fairy who does not eat the fireworks of the world.
One head of green silk picks up a few strands of silk into a flying cloud bun, and the rest is finely braided into a small braid, and then twisted into two large braids, hanging on the shoulders, only a rare water-red peacock hairpin is obliquely inserted on the bun, and a string of white pearls held in the peacock's mouth reflects the sunshine and glows with infinite brilliance. With a little powder, the face is flushed with pink and white, which is extremely eye-catching. Simple mahogany earrings, simple but gorgeous. A pure white dress is the color of a gardenia, white and pink, and the skirt is embroidered with fine cherry blossom petals. The silver-white gauze was draped loosely over his shoulders, and only a lilac brocade belt held the delicate waist that could not be grasped.
The wind is hairy and the sideburns are exposed, the eyebrows and eyes are lightly swept with spring, the skin is delicate and moist like warm jade, the cherry mouth is not dotted and red, delicate and beautiful, and the two strands of hair on the cheeks are gently brushed with the wind, adding a bit of seductive style. The eyes that rotate flexibly turn wisely, a little naughty, a little naughty. Light blue vibrating waist support skirt, water fu-colored jasmine faintly full of sleeves, three thousand green silk rolled up a loose cloud bun, casually wearing a painted silver belt, loosely tied around the waist with ink-colored palace di, obliquely inserted a simple flying butterfly silver flower Huasheng, the light-colored tassels fell at will, rippling a trace of ripples in the wind, the eyebrows are still a little cinnabar, and the graceful posture is graceful.
The low-key and luxurious dress is very decent for Liang Huanqing.
Yuebai watched the queen mother cry, and she cried herself, seeing the queen mother ask herself like this, she took out a handkerchief and wiped her tears for the queen mother, and said: "The queen mother's skin is better than snow, her eyes are like a pool of clear water, and when she looks forward to it, she has an elegant and noble temperament, which makes people take pictures of it, and she is ashamed of herself and does not dare to blaspheme." But that cold arrogance and agility are quite seductive, and people can't help but be haunted. How can you say ugly words? ”
Liang Huanqing obviously didn't believe Yuebai's words, she touched her face, only felt a little ashamed and lowered her head, buried her face in the palm of her hand and cried bitterly: "Now that he is coming back, I don't even have the courage to see him......"
"Queen Mother!" Everyone knelt down.
Liang Huanqing took a few deep breaths, and finally stood up, as if he had mustered up a lot of courage, and ran towards the palace gate with his skirt.
"Queen Mother!" Yuebai, Luo Xun, and Qi Qi, they hurriedly got up and chased after them.
Liang Huanqing wiped a handful of tears fiercely: "Yuebai went to the Baohe Palace to inform the princess that the palace would not go, let her arrange for you!" ”
"Yes!"
"Luo Xun Qi led the palace to meet the emperor's holy driver!" Liang Huanqing said.
For some reason, each of them has an intuition, this time they will definitely find the emperor, they will!
"Yes!" Luo Xun and Yi Qi also ran out with high morale.
*
In the Baohe Palace, Qi Wangshu waited for a long time on the upper seat, but he still couldn't wait for the queen mother, and sent someone to Qianning Palace to see it, but the palace people said that the queen mother had already come out.
It's really weird.
