After the jade dragon and then to the south, is Chiyang, Chiyang is also a very large commercial city, the east of Chiyang is the estuary, there is the most prosperous place for trade between countries, and the west is the entrance of the river, the whole Chiyang Beida River is divided into two halves of the north and south.

Chen Youyi doesn't know a lot about the city here, these are all from Mo Xincheng's mouth, he didn't know before, but now he knows this when he hears this, it turns out that he knows so much about the geography of Chen Guo.

"It will take five days to get to Yulong, our army is now stationed in Yulong, and Chiyang has been occupied by the Zhao State in the south."

Thinking about it this way, Qin Ziheng should have disappeared when the two cities of Yulong and Chiyang were fighting, and there is another city further south from Chiyang, but this city is relatively small, it is an inland city, and it was also occupied by the Zhao State.

Take care of the fact that they still want to drive straight into the capital and go straight to the capital, but the jade dragon is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and they can't attack it, so the war is so deadlocked, Zhao Guo has been recuperating for ten years, and now the army is sufficient, so he has the ambition to attack Chen State.

But Chen Guo is not so easy to bully, although at the beginning because of no precautions, they occupied a few cities, but after Chengguo's soldiers came out, Zhao Guo's army did not advance half a step.

There were countless battles between Chiyang and the Jade Dragon, countless casualties, and I don't know how many people died here and couldn't go home.

The closer she got to the Jade Dragon, the heavier Chen Youyi's heart became.

In the next five days, they hurried non-stop, and when they arrived at Yulong, they found that the city was far more prosperous than they thought, and they did not expect that there were still many merchants who came here to do business during the war.

Chen Youyi took two people to find an inconspicuous inn to live in, and after eating some things, Chen Youyi instructed Mo Xincheng, "You go outside to inquire about the current war situation, and inquire about the disappearance of Xianggong to see if anyone knows." ”

When Mo Xincheng went out, Chen Youyi asked a few more words, "You take some silver in case you need it, and be careful when you inquire, don't do anything, and don't arouse too many people's suspicions." ”

He nodded and then turned to leave, Xiao Xue looked at Chen Youyi worried for the past few days, and stepped forward to comfort, "Brother Qin's Ji people have their own natural appearance, they will definitely be fine, they may have been injured and taken in by someone, so we can't find him now." ”

But this kind of comfort is of little use to Chen Youyi, she sits quietly, very calm on the surface, but her heart is anxious.

"I see a teahouse opposite, there are a lot of people there, and there are a lot of merchants and officials coming and going, so let's go there and sit down, maybe we can hear something."

Chen Youyi couldn't sit still here, so she took Xiaoxue downstairs together, found a seat outside the teahouse opposite, and sat down, looking at the crowd coming and going, Chen Youyi's belief was slightly better.

She didn't know how much she hoped to be able to see Qin Ziheng in this crowd, he appeared and told herself that the news was fake, he actually didn't have anything at all, but all she saw were some unfamiliar faces.

After sitting here for about an hour, Mo Xincheng also came back from outside, Xiaoxue saw that he was about to enter the inn, and hurriedly stepped forward and pulled him over, "How can I find out something?" ”

Mo Xincheng glanced at Chen Youyi, and said with some loss, "I did inquire about some news, some people know about Brother Qin, they said that there is no news about Brother Qin yet, and his body has not been found so far." ”

"And are they still looking for it?" Chen Youyi hurriedly asked.

"They said they were still looking for it, but in fact they should have given up, there are too many people missing on the battlefield, and now there are not enough troops so they will not send too many people to look for it, it is estimated that if they can't find anyone in a few days, they will send a message to their families saying that they died on the battlefield."

Xiaoxue shouted angrily, "How can they be like this, people are not dead at all, why don't they look for it." ”

Mo Xincheng didn't speak, and his eyes fell on Chen Youyi, Chen Youyi felt unfair about this, but he was also helpless, "If they don't look for it, then we will look for it, no matter what, I must find Xianggong, he will definitely be fine, he promised me that I will definitely live." ”

After saying that, Chen Youyi got up and went back to the inn, she was so confused that she locked herself in the room all day, and when she came out again, she looked haggard.

Xiaoxue was very worried about her, "Sister-in-law, it's not good for your health if you keep doing this, and you haven't eaten anything all day, I asked someone to make some for you, you better eat a little." ”

She shook her head, "I don't have any appetite now, I won't eat it yet, you go and call Xincheng over, I have something to tell him."

Not long after Xiaoxue went out, Mo Xincheng came over, "Madame, what's the matter." ”

"It's a little too late today, you go out tomorrow morning, and then go to the person who knows Xianggong, give him some silver, and let him tell us where Xianggong disappeared, and where he is likely to go, try to inquire carefully."

Hearing this, Mo Xincheng frowned, "Madam, you don't plan to find it yourself, do you?" ”

"Since they don't look for it, then I'll go."

But Mo Xincheng disagreed with this, "That's the place where the war is fought, the border between the two armies, if we go, I'm afraid we will be arrested before we even reach that place." ”

"Don't talk about these things now, just follow what I say." Chen Youyi instructed, Mo Xincheng knew that she couldn't change her mind, so she had to agree.

Mo Xincheng went out early the next morning, and this time he didn't come back so quickly, and it wasn't until late afternoon that he returned to the inn.

"Hurry up and take a sip and tell me what happened."

Mo Xincheng drank the water in the teacup in one go, wiped the corners of his mouth, and said after sitting down, "I have already inquired, this time I have better luck, I found out that when the two armies were fighting, in order to achieve victory, Brother Qin led a group of people around the enemy's rear, and it was precisely because of this that the eldest brother did this, so this battle was won." But the eldest brother did not know where to go. ”

"Did you ask, then, where he might go?"

"Asked, some insiders said that there are only two possibilities, if you are unlucky, you are likely to have died on the battlefield, because half of the battlefield belongs to Zhao Guo, and it is very likely that the eldest brother died over there, and the body cannot be found at all."

"What about the other possibility."

"Another possibility is that the eldest brother is injured and has no way to come back and can only stay in Zhao Kingdom temporarily, so we can't find him, and there is no news of him."

Speaking of this, Chen Youyi frowned, "In other words, Xianggong must be in Zhao Kingdom, maybe he was injured and rescued by someone, and he is still alive." ”

Xiaoxue and Mo Xincheng glanced at each other, Qin Ziheng is still alive, this kind of thing can only hope for a miracle, it is very likely that he is dead, but they are unwilling to tell this matter, which makes Chen Youyi even more sad.

Because they understand that if they can't see Qin Ziheng's body, Chen Youyi will not believe that he is dead.

"Then let's go to Zhao Kingdom to find Xianggong."

As soon as the words came out, the two of them were frightened, and Mo Xincheng hurriedly said, "I'm afraid it's impossible to go to Zhao State now, the two armies are fighting, and the exchanges between the two sides have been cut off, and we can't go at all." ”
