Chapter 222: Go to Jingxiang
After the light was on, Yu Lang took everyone to search up and down twice, but they still returned in vain.
"You can't see anyone alive, you can't see a corpse when you die? Could it be that the major general just disappeared like this? "It's too evil! Shen Congxi was helpless when he encountered this situation.
He finally decided: "Yu Lang, leave it to you, you can expand the scope to find it, I will go back to the town first, let He Jian and Yang Yong find out the news in the camp, and I will send the news back to the capital to see how the prince is." ”
Yu Lang, who was sitting on the ground with his head down, nodded, he had heard that jumping off the cliff would fly to the top to be an immortal, but since he killed a neighbor on the battlefield, he no longer believed that there were immortals in this world. Could it be that the young general really became an immortal?
Shen Congxi returned to the town and asked the remaining soldiers to rush back to the camp to report the news, and he hurriedly contacted the prince.
In the East Palace, the prince and his wife soon received this strange news.
"What? Brother missing? Haitang was stunned for a moment, couldn't believe his ears, and asked again: "Is there a pool under the cliff?" There is a river? ”
"Yu Lang, they all went down to the bottom of the cliff and searched, but there was no water below." Xie Ruizhu couldn't believe that a big living person and a big living horse disappeared together.
"Will it hang on a tree?" Begonia asked blankly. She couldn't imagine what kind of cliff would turn a person who fell into nothing.
"Even people and horses hanging on trees, how can you not see such a big one?" Xie Ruijiao also asked this question, but he denied it.
"That is, there is no one in life, and no corpse in death?" Begonia was about to cry: "This doesn't make sense! The cliff has to be reasonable......"
Xie Ruijiao hugged Haitang and comforted her: "This is hidden from your father and your sister-in-law in advance, anyway, the army's battle report has not yet arrived, and Congxi and Yu Lang are still looking for it." You'll always find it! "Yes, whether it's a living person or a corpse, it should always be found.
"I'm going to find it too!" Haitang hugged Xie Ruijiao's neck and rubbed his face: "I am familiar with the mountains, I am going to find my brother, I don't go in person, I just don't feel at ease." My dad only had one son, my brother......"
Xie Ruizhu deliberately avoided Cao Baoli during this time and did not go to the court. He also wanted to go to the place where the displaced people rebelled in person, not to mention, he promised Haitang to let his uncle come back safely. Now that something has happened to his uncle, he can't just sit back and watch as if he doesn't know.
"Okay, we'll leave tomorrow, and you go and prepare. I'll write a recital and tell my father. "Chop first and then play, Xie Ruijiao thought, this is the best way. After writing the recital, he also left a note for his mother, explaining to Chang Le, and after he and Haitang left, he would send it to Concubine Ji.
Haitang got Xie Ruijiao's words, and hurriedly jumped up, took Shuang'er and Ji'er and ran to their pharmacy. Liu Hotaru also hurried to pack the clothes of the crown prince and the crown princess. Xie Ruijiao left the palace and went to the prince's mansion.
"You're going to find Hanbai?" Yan Shiyi asked as soon as he entered the door, and Sun Yanxi and Zhao Muzhe followed him. When they received the news from the guards of the Prince's Mansion, they were all very surprised. Cheng Hanbai disappeared in Hubei, and now the crown prince and the princess have to travel thousands of miles to find him!
Xie Ruijiao nodded, and said: "Hanbai is a very important person to Haitang, and he is also a brother who lives and dies with me, so I can't ignore it." In addition, the current situation in the capital, I should be quiet and not move, do more and make more mistakes, it is better to avoid it for a period of time, and wait for the contradictions to brew and ferment, and then there will be contradictions to be broken. ”
"Then I'll go with you." Yan Shiyi smiled: "I also want to see what this cliff that disappears when you jump down looks like." ”
Xie Ruijiao smiled dumbly and said, "You are now a person with an official position, how can you just leave?" You don't want to keep the capital anymore? Desertion is a capital offense. ”
"What's that? I am willing to guard the capital with you, and the capital without you is like a mustard to me. Yan Shiyi didn't care: "If you think it's necessary, at most take a sick leave." ”
Zhao Muzhe hurried: "Then I'll take a sick leave too." ”
"You guard the palace for me, it's not like I won't come back! What are you coaxing? Xie Ruizhu glanced at him and said, "I'm not in the palace, you have to guard Qinghe Palace for me." ”
"yes, you can't all go." Sun Yanxi also: "Especially when the prince is not there, we have to guard it, and we can't let Cao Baoli overturn it." We are still satisfied, the prince is not here, what will King Kang do. ”
"Well, if you have something to discuss, please consult with the prince and King Cheng, it is convenient for them to enter and exit the palace, and they can take care of Mu Zhe." Xie Ruijiao nodded and said, "I went with Haitang and Eleven, no matter what, I have to get Hanbai back." This matter made the prince hide it from Cheng Mansion first, especially Qing Yao. ”
Several people discussed, and the prince hurried back to the East Palace.
Early the next morning, the crown prince and the crown princess left the palace in a carriage, and Yan Shiyi was already waiting for them in the prince's mansion, so the three of them set off with four guards and Shuang'er to meet the sun. It wasn't until they left the capital that the prince's mansion handed over the recital.
Ling Yun drove the car, Ling Shuang and her brother sat side by side on the wheel, Ling Shuang saw that the crown princess had been worried last night, and she felt uncomfortable, she looked at Ling Yun: "Brother, if you are missing, I will definitely look for you." ”
Ling Yun hurriedly spat on the ground and said, "Phew! Childlike words! How can anyone curse his own brother like this? "It's not that he hasn't disappeared, Ling Yun doesn't want to come back again. That time he was kidnapped by Prince Qing, and it was the crown princess who rescued him from Li Village, and he believed that the crown princess would definitely rescue the young general this time.
The begonia in the car was leaning on Xie Ruijiao's arms and closing her eyes to recuperate, but she didn't want to let a teardrop roll down. Xie Ruijiao lowered his head and kissed away the teardrop, and said softly: "With me, I will find it." He found that Begonia has been particularly sentimental lately, and he will not persuade people, but only holds Begonia tightly in his arms.
Several people did not change horses, so they hurried in vain and stayed overnight. It took several days to enter Hubei. Along the way, the prince deliberately quarreled with Yan Shiyi in front of Begonia, and the two shook each other about each other, just to make Begonia smile. How can there be anything that Begonia doesn't understand? Only cheer up, otherwise the prince is worried.
Ling Shuang took out a few Karakuri secret weapons and distributed them to everyone, which Feng Mingze deliberately did after the overboard incident. Because it is inconvenient to carry weapons on some occasions, hidden weapons are easy to carry.
"Even me?" Yan Shiyi smiled: "What is this silver box?" ”
"This is the rain pear blossom needle in the cross." Haitang explained with a smile: "Ming Ze and Tang Yu studied for a long time, and improved the old drawings left by the Tang Gate before they were restored and produced. There were only two of them, and there were forty-nine needles in each, but unfortunately they could only be used once, and they were useless after they were distributed. ”
"It works! I can exchange it for silver! Yan Shiyi pointed to the pattern on the box and smiled: "Tut-tut...... What kind of flowers are carved for one-time things? Tang Men is riotous......"
Xie Ruijiao snatched it up and stuffed it into Haitang's hand: "Hello miles...... It's wasted on him, and you don't know martial arts, so keep it for yourself. ”
Just as he was leaving, he knocked on the door and came in, he put down the teapot and kindly reminded them: "Guest officer, there have been a lot of homeless people recently, and there is a lot of chaos everywhere. Rich sons and sisters like you are the target of their robbery, you have to be careful, you have to close the doors and windows when you sleep at night. ”
Sure enough, two thieves came in the evening, but their martial arts were mediocre, Ling Feng snatched their tools, and only after a glance did he know that they were making smoke, fascinating people, and then robbing the house.
The prince shook his head and said: "There are more displaced people, and there are more people who are not under the jurisdiction of the government, everyone has to eat, and it is no wonder that the law and order can be good." ”
