The next day, May 29, the Queen Mother and the royal family went out of Beijing to enter the Dabei Temple to pray for the disaster in the south of the Yangtze River.

On the list, Zhao Chen is also a member of the entourage.

But at this time, she had secretly left the team, and she was rolling her eyes at Meng Yong, who was jealous.

“… Don't worry, isn't this Meng Yong with me? Besides, Your Majesty has also sent someone who will secretly protect me. Zhao Chen glared at Meng Yong again, and said to King Yu who came to see her off quietly.

King Yu looked at them "eyebrows" and continued to advise, "You must protect yourself well and keep your senses..."

Zhao Chen nodded obediently, and waited for him to finish speaking before he took out the carved tiger pendant, "I may not be able to come back to see you off this time when I leave Beijing, you take it well, maybe it is really a talisman." ”

The division of military power is coming to an end, and the king of Yu will soon leave Beijing and return to the military camp, so this can be regarded as saying goodbye to each other-

Touching the thick callus between his palms and fingers, Zhao Chen's nose was blocked, "Don't be so desperate, think more about someone waiting for you, if there is a gap in the itinerary, I will go to the barracks to see you..."

Seeing the two of them pulling and pulling, Meng Yong's eyebrows became tighter and tighter, and he slipped over on the horse, "You haven't finished whispering yet?" Isn't it time to be in a hurry and can't sleep? ”

The meaning of the words made King Yu's eyes sharpen, looked at him, and said, "Take care of her, but if you dare to exceed the rules..."

"Alright, it's really time to go." Zhao Chen interrupted the two, and as soon as he walked to the horse, he couldn't help but turn around and admonish, "You must take care of yourself, wait for you to come back-"

Meng Yong couldn't bear it anymore, so he scooped her onto the horse, waved his whip, and galloped out, revealing that he was not in a good mood.

"I'm waiting for you to come back... What do you want to wait for him to come back? As soon as she ran out of the path, Meng Yong hugged her and asked in a muffled voice, "You went out of Beijing on a secret order, and you secretly came here to see him, is it so important?" ”

The so-called accompanying Dabei Temple is just a cover-up, but in fact, Zhao Chen went to supervise the three princes on the secret order of Emperor Chu, because this Jiangnan disaster relief is far more than just the surface-

Zhao Chen suppressed the discomfort caused by parting and shrunk into his arms, "Are you sure no one is following us?" ”

Listening to her soft voice, Meng Yong suddenly lost all his anger, and reluctantly put her into his robe.

"Don't worry, the people sent by His Majesty should still follow Yingchun and his party now, and they won't find out that you have sneaked away for the time being, but there is not much time to buy, let's go to the meeting as soon as possible..."

He stroked her slightly bloodshot eyes, "Don't think about it, General Zhu will be fine." ”

Originally, Emperor Chu's arrangement was for her to secretly follow the third prince, but she and Meng Yong came to a golden cicada shell, so that she would quietly rush to Chuzhou first to determine Zhu Chongyuan's safety...

"If Uncle is good, he will definitely report my safety, but no, there is no news so far..."Zhao Chen muttered lightly, unable to hide the worry in his heart.

Meng Yong also understood that it was useless to comfort her at this time, so he patted her, whipped her and galloped, concentrating on hurrying.

For three days and two nights in a row, the two of them hardly slept except for eating, and finally arrived at the state capital in the evening of this day, and went straight to the mansion of the Duke of Weiguo-

"Where's my uncle?" As soon as he saw Wei Guogong, Zhao Chen dropped his hat and asked coldly.

Wei Guogong's face was full of fatigue, and he persuaded: "Shi'an, don't worry about it first...", he said, and glanced at Meng Yong secretly.

Zhao Chen waved his hand patiently, "He's not an outsider, hurry up!" ”

Not to mention that Meng Yong probably knew about it a long time ago, since she was willing to bring him this time, it also meant that she didn't plan to hide it from him again.

"Five days ago, on the morning when the rainstorm just stopped, the goods were found at the 21st wellhead, and as soon as your uncle heard the news, he was the first to run down... It turned out that there was an earthquake before noon—"

Zhao Chen clenched his hands tightly, "Now?" Where are the people? ”

Wei Guogong was ashamed and said: "It's not yet, I haven't found it yet, but don't worry, the mine has been stopped, and everyone is cleaning the tunnel..."

"Find someone to show me the way." At this time, Zhao Chen calmed down instead, "Take me directly to Gu Zhan and Xie Si, don't let irrelevant people know that I'm here." ”

Meng Yong wanted to stop her, but after a pause, he still silently clenched her hand and didn't say anything.

Nearly two hours later, under the leadership of Xiang Huaijin, the second son of Wei Guogong, the two entered the mining area and met Xie Si near the wellhead.

"Your Highness?" As soon as the hat was picked, Xie Si was stunned, reacted quickly, and led them into the grass shed, "This is the tunnel map before the earthquake, and General Zhu went down from here at that time..."

He didn't ask anything, and talked about the situation in an orderly manner, "These have been cleared out... These seven places were displaced by the earthquake, and these four collapsed seriously connected to the dark river... Six bodies have been exhumed here..."

As he spoke, a small shaking suddenly came from the ground, shaking the grass shed to the ground.

Xie Si stabilized his body and said: "This is the sixth aftershock, and in the past five days, the aftershocks have caused the tunnel to collapse from time to time, which not only slows down the progress of the search and rescue, but also causes many casualties..."

Zhao Chen was silent, "Draw me the latest drawings underground, find twenty more available people, and go down with me in half an hour." ”

"You can't go!" Xie Si frowned and said, "Let's not mention that the aftershocks are unpredictable, it is extremely dangerous down there, just now, there are dark rivers pouring into the tunnel, plus many collapses and deviations——"

Zhao Chen raised his eyes to look at him and said lightly, "Find me two thick clothes." ”

Xie Si was speechless for a while, and she also understood that she had made up her mind, so she had to sigh and salute lightly, and left the grass shed to make arrangements.

For a long time, Meng Yong gently wrapped his arms around her and stroked her taut back, "Don't be afraid, we will definitely find him, believe me..."

Half an hour later, the nineteenth wellhead.

Gu Zhan was covered in mud, with a pair of red eyes leading the way, and Zhao Chen and the others followed closely and sneaked into the mouth of the tunnel.

"This was only dug up last night, and Second Brother Zhu's coat was also found here..."Gu Zhan's voice was hoarse, "According to the traces at that time, he was still alive until the day before yesterday..."

At this time, in this tunnel, there is already water flowing beyond the calf, and the traces that Gu Zhan said are not traceable.

Zhao Chen's nose twitched slightly, but he didn't smell anything except the smell of earthy and dirty water, let alone the sachet that she made for Zhu Chongyuan and put things in.

"You seven go down that fork in the road, be careful... The rest of the people keep going! Zhao Chen's face was expressionless.

After being divided into two groups, Zhao Chen remained silent, moving his nose from time to time until this pit was blocked.

"The soil and stone are still very loose, it shouldn't have fallen for too long, dig five zhang out first..."Meng Yong carried Zhao Chen with one hand, and tried a few times at the collapse with the other.

Gu Zhan was the first to step forward to make a move, and the rest of the people also dug one after another, just after five zhang, Meng Yong stopped them.

He took the shovel, carried the internal force, and clinged to Zhao Chen's body as cold as ice, and in a moment, he threw it with force, and the shovel passed, and a bowl-thick hole penetrated to the other side.

At the same time, a familiar smell of Zhao Chen appeared-
