Wei Qi took a team of people to look for the prince, while Xia Chutao was waiting for news from Fu Rin in the Chaos Grotto.

Wei Qi didn't want Xia Chutao to be tired of running around with more points, the history of science and technology is like this, and Xia Chutao didn't feel the slightest peace of mind when he sat in the cave of the chaotic grotto.

"Madam, don't worry, General Jiren has his own natural appearance, and he will definitely be able to return safely."

Li Yan, who was injured, stayed, looked at the nervous Xia Chutao and couldn't help but say this.

These people who don't know the inside story must not know the key to this, but Xia Chutao knows, so her worries are the most real.

Everyone thinks that Fu Rin is a symbol of Dawan's invincibility, and he himself must be standing.

But Fu Rin is also a mortal after all, flesh and blood, and even more so will be born, old, sick and die, how can he be as godly as they say. For Xia Chutao, Fu Rin is Fu Rin, and such a Fu Rin will also die.

So Xia Chutao remained silent in the face of Li Yan's words, and waited quietly by the bonfire.

However, from the edge of the sky to the belly of the fish until the afternoon, Xia Chutao stared at the bonfire directly, and there was still no news.

Xia Chutao's body is weak now, and he can't withstand the torture of sleepless for such a long time, and when it was almost afternoon, Xia Chutao couldn't hold back his heavy eyelids anymore, but he fell asleep in the anxious waiting process.

"The general is back!"

"The general is back!"

Just when Xia Chutao was in a daze, she seemed to hear the shouts of many people, she opened her worried eyes, and she clearly felt the restlessness around her.

She slowly stood up, and then subconsciously walked towards the entrance of the cave.

The grotto in the evening was simply shrouded in a strange white mist, obviously it was evening, but the fog refused to disperse, almost encircling the entire camp.

At first there was a commotion and shouting in the crowd, but after a while, it turned into a human cry.

Xia Chu Momo: What's going on?

But soon, some people slowly appeared in the thick fog, looking very tired, and slowly walked in the direction of the early summer peach step by step.

Then what caught Xia Chutao's eyes was a piece of white flags, floating in the air, which directly hurt Xia Chutao's eyes and heart.

She instantly felt that the air around her had thinned out, and even breathing had become difficult.

Don't......

Xia Chutao didn't dare to think about what she thought in her heart, if it was really such an ending, she couldn't bear it at all.

She also stumbled towards the returning group, but soon saw Fu Rin, who was tired from riding a horse.

He was almost covered in mud, and the most terrifying thing was that the hardest water cold armor on his body actually cracked a huge gap......

But the moment she saw Fu Rin, Xia Chutao's heart was settled.

She immediately ran towards Fu Rin and stood in front of Fu Rin.

Fu Rin...... Are you okay. ”

Fu Rin's face looked extremely tired, and his eyes were filled with a sadness that Xia Chutao couldn't understand.

Fu Rin's performance like this, Xia Chutao knew that something was wrong......

Fu Rin seemed to be in a state of confusion, his thoughts didn't even have focus, and Xia Chutao didn't know where he was looking.

After a while, Fu Rin opened his almost chapped lips and looked up at Xia Chutao, but there was no light in his eyes

He said word by word to Xia Chu Tao.

"Prince, it's gone."

Four words, but it made Xia Chutao's heart sink completely.

She put her dull gaze behind Fu Rin, and saw that several people following behind Fu Rin were carrying a simple bracket in their hands, which was covered with Fu Rin's robe, as for who was under the robe, it was naturally needless to say.

Xia Chutao could see the weakly hanging hand under the robe, it still looked like a very young person's hand, a young life that Xia Chutao had not yet masked, and it was like this.

"Prince, it's ......"

Fu Rin almost repeated it again, his voice slightly raised, but it was still difficult to change his hoarseness.

Xia Chutao could only kneel down slowly in Fu Rin's hoarse voice, this is a national martyrdom, no one can be an exception.

After Xia Chutao knelt down, the people around him gradually knelt down, and Dawan's soldiers knelt on the ground in unison, their heads were hanging down, grieving for Dawan's calamity.

At this time, the cool breeze was silent, the white mist was everywhere, and the surroundings were all white, which reflected the scene even more desolately.

The horn of the camp sounded, not for the preparation of the battle, but only for the mourning of the prince.

The desolate sound of the horn almost lingered over the entire chaotic grotto, the flags fluttered and the white flags rolled, and Xia Chutao felt that this battle was suddenly difficult.

……

At night, the surrounding fog is even thicker, and things a few meters away are almost impossible to see, which is doubly strange in the thick night.

If it is said that the entire Dawan army was high-spirited when it set out on the expedition, then now it is almost sluggish, and the entire camp involuntarily falls into a very low atmosphere, lifeless.

At the beginning of summer, Tao couldn't sit still in the grotto, and slowly walked towards the outside of the cave wrapped in his big fur.

Fu Rin had been sitting alone by the fire at the entrance of the cave for a long time, and there was no one nearby, and the figure reflected in the firelight seemed even more lonely.

"What are you thinking?"

Xia Chutao stepped forward, carefully put his hand on Fu Rin's shoulder, and asked like this.

She knew that Fu Rin was in a bad mood now, so she spoke softly, for fear that she would startle Fu Rin.

Fu Rin just looked down at the fire in front of him, holding a relatively thick stick in his hand and fiddling with it, did some sparks float up, but it disappeared into the night with a "snort".

Xia Chutao recalled that Fu Rin came back with a big crack in the water cold armor, so it was hard to say what he experienced at that time.

Fu Rin raised his head a little hesitantly, and all that was written on his face was embarrassment.

"Before the expedition, Your Majesty remembered the prince's cowardly temperament and asked me to bring him out to take this battle as an opportunity for him to experience. But something like this happened, and I was wondering how I would go back and explain to His Majesty. ”

At the beginning of summer, Tao also fell into silence, and his mood was quite heavy.

The crown prince is the foundation of the country, but he fell in this battle, Fu Rin is indeed related to this matter, if His Majesty asks about the crime, he will not be able to escape this crime.

"Your Majesty hasn't said exactly how to deal with this matter, so don't worry so much about it."

Xia Chutao could only calm her heart and comfort Fu Rin like this, but in fact, she was also afraid in her heart. The decline of Dawan's crown prince in the battle is nothing more than a bad omen, not to mention that there is no big head-on conflict between Beizhao and Dawan now, how much impact it will have on the morale of the army, and how the next battle will be fought, this is unknown.

She raised her hand and took Fu Rin's hand, which was wrapped in bandages several times, and the blood oozing out was visible to the naked eye.

Xia Chutao knew that Fu Rin was able to come back today because of his fate, so he couldn't help but gently rub Fu Rin's hand in his hand, and asked softly.

"What the hell is going on in the jungle?"

Fu Rin was asked by Xia Chutao, and the whole person couldn't help but tremble, and she didn't know if Xia Chutao was wrong, she actually saw a trace of horror in Fu Rin's eyes.

This man, who treats Shura Field as a daily routine, actually shows such a frightened expression when he mentions something.

"That forest is very weird, I can't put it into words. In the past, I always heard the old man of Dawan say that Beizhao had strange things, but now it seems to be true. ”

Fu Rin's voice sank, as if he was still thinking about something when he spoke, and his voice was intermittent.

"At that time, I watched the prince's men and horses enter the dense forest in a panic, and at that time I knew that something was wrong. The prince's daughter's precious body, no matter what, it has to be preserved, I didn't think about it so much at that time, and I just led the people in. But ......"

Fu Rin didn't seem to plan to talk about these things to Xia Chutao, hesitated for a moment, but instead skimmed over.

"As you can see, there are at least a hundred people I brought in, but they came back with me...... There were only twenty or thirty people. ”

"Is there someone from Beizhao in the ambush?"

"No, it's a black shadow, a cloud of black shadows, it's fast, it's just too late to see what it is."

Fu Rin quickly denied Xia Chutao's statement, but he seemed to be very uncertain.

"Anyway, almost all the people are dead where the shadows pass by...... It took a lot of effort with the rest of me to find the prince who had strayed into the depths of the woods, but by the time I found him, the prince was out of breath......

"Whether it was killed by the Beizhao people or not, it's hard to say."

Xia Chu Tao fell silent again, is there still such a weird side to this game?

"Tao'er, don't tell others about this matter, the death of the prince is a very serious matter, and it is definitely not something that can be discussed and speculated casually by others."

Xia Chutao naturally understood this truth, and nodded at Fu Rin very cautiously.

"Okay, I got it...... Fu Rin, don't worry, no matter what happens, I will be by your side. ”

In the face of such a powerless situation, that's all Xia Chutao can say to Fu Rin.

"Fool...... If it really happens, I will definitely protect you, you can't fold in this matter, you have to live well with our children. ”

"Peach, this battle is too difficult."

Xia Chutao looked at Fu Rin's resolute face speechlessly, she could only take Fu Rin into her arms, she knew that what she might say now was pale and powerless.
