By this time, the excavators had been working in the rain all afternoon, and everyone was exhausted, cold and hungry.

But he refused to stop, he pursed his lips, carefully cleaned up the mud and muddy water, carefully looked for clues by the dim candlelight, and did not want to let go of even a thread.

Seeing that he was suddenly looking so carefully, the Jinghu guards also squatted beside him.

"Lord Wang, aren't we looking for someone?"

Xiao Xiao said in a dry voice: "I'm making sure that there are any accessories for Sister Yi here, and you guys are also looking carefully, not only to find someone, but we can't let go of the slightest clue." ”

"Yes." The four elite tiger guards took the order and seriously rummaged in the mud, refusing to let go of even a single detail.

The originally extremely tired Long Xiang Army, after listening to the dialogue between Xiao Xiao Fang Cai and Li Qitian, and then seeing Xiao Xiao's affectionate and unrepentant appearance, they didn't feel tired and cold for a while, and they all spontaneously helped.

Li Qitian was watching the people count the few large boxes that had just been brought up, and found that most of the boxes were empty, only a layer of silver ingots was placed on them, and the whole person was already deflated.

There is no treasure in this cave!

He would rather give up so many lives of Jinghuwei in order to find the treasure, and now he has pounced, not only exposing his thoughts, but also possibly being hated by the!

Li Qitian looked at the man who was seriously rummaging in the cave, and when he saw him looking so crazy, he couldn't help but clench his teeth and feel nervous for a while.

They have fought the world together, and others don't know the character of the owl, but he understands it. Losing the princess this time, Xiao Xiao may not love Qin Yining very much, but it hurts his dignity and involves his reputation, this matter will never be easily calculated.

If Qin Yining can find it, it is good, he can also arrest him and interrogate him, and then he can be regarded as having a reason.

But if Qin Yining really died like this, not only did he die without proof, but now that these big boxes were in front of him, he was still suspected of killing his courtiers for the treasure.

Qin Yining's father is Qin Huaiyuan, whom he has always wanted to reuse, and her husband is a military general on the deterrent side, if these two men have a quarrel with him together, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Li Qitian thought about this, he only felt regretful, he knew that this was the case, this time he should have investigated clearly before making a move, now that the hole has collapsed, there is no proof of death, he has nowhere to say if he is reasonable, but it is criticized.

However, picking up the silver ingot and observing it carefully, Li Qitian found that this silver was indeed made by Dayan in the past, and he felt a little better.

In this way, it is all the more proof that the silver came from that batch of treasures.

It seems that the real treasure may be nearby.

Li Qitian didn't hesitate any longer, and with a wave of his hand, he ordered Long Xiang's army not to gather here, and also began to explore the vicinity. An hour later, the entire cave was presented in front of everyone who was busy and unhurried.

There was no treasure, only corpses dressed in the uniforms of the Dragon's Army and civilians.

After counting the points, Li Qitian found that the Long Xiang army he assigned was actually annihilated!

The silver did not fall, and so many people were lost, Li Qitian became depressed and angry.

The big hand slapped the fake boxes in his hand, such a little silver, it is not a drop in the bucket for the current deficit of the treasury and internal funds.

I heard that Xiao Xiao took out 50,000 taels for disaster relief? A prince can get this silver, but he, the emperor, has been slow to send rice and silver, which makes outsiders think of him!

Xiao Xiao cleaned up the entire cave here, and did not find Qin Yining's body, so his heart was a little more relaxed.

At least this can prove that Qin Yining may not be dead.

Xiao Xiao immediately instructed the Jinghuwei and Huzi around him: "Dispatch manpower to surround this neighborhood, don't let go of the slightest clue, and be sure to find the whereabouts of the princess!" ”

"Yes!" The tigers and the elite tiger guards said in a deep voice, and they went down to do things one after another.

Li Qitian saw that he was shirtless and covered in muddy water, but he still couldn't hold back after all, and said, "You come up first to rest for a while, and also eat a cup of hot tea to warm up." Isn't it true that the Qin clan has not been found now? Maybe she's still alive, maybe something important is stumbling up. If you want to find her, you must first make sure that you are well. ”

As soon as he said this, without waiting for Xiao Xiao to answer, Li Qitian already had a guess in his heart.

Qin Yining may be looking for treasure!

It seems that Xiao Xiao still has to be closely guarded here!

Xiao Xiao had no intention of resting at all now, so he politely rejected Li Qitian's arrangement, and continued to take people to search near the cave, and even went into the cave where Bingtang and Jiyun were hiding before, but there was no whereabouts of Qin Yining.

Xiao Xiao expanded the scope, using the borrowed dragon army to cooperate with the Jinghu Guard, and the expanded search circle in this vicinity was a carpet search, not letting go of any grass and trees, just to find some clues.

A day later, Xiao Xiao found the four people who were seriously injured, such as Sting, Xiaoxue, Xiaoman, and Da Han.

They were all unconscious, placed in a cave, and their wounds were simply treated, apparently someone had placed them here.

Xiao Xiao's heart was pounding, and he wanted to know the situation at that time, but Bingtang and Jiyun hadn't woken up yet, and the four spies were also unconscious.

At this time, relief from the disaster area finally arrived.

Although there are not many, because many of the victims have already died, the rest of Li Qitian can still be fed, and he completely threw away his hands because of the disaster area, and only concentrated on finding Qin Yining's whereabouts.

However, after hearing the sober rock candy and Jiyun tell the situation in the cave in detail, Xiao Xiao still felt half of his heart cold, and fear swept through his body.

"She was slashed?"

"Yes, in order to protect the slave and maid, the princess hid the slave and maid behind the box, saying that she couldn't escape, so I must survive, find the prince, and remind the prince to beware."

Xiao Xiao closed his eyes, and the pain in his heart was like a knife spinning.

Jiyun weakly said the situation in detail, and finally said: "I don't know who is more brave than the dead soldiers brought by Lu Erye, we were all injured at that time, the cave collapsed too badly, it was pitch black, I couldn't see anything clearly, I wanted to rush over, but the roof of the shed collapsed to block the road, rock candy called me at this time, pulled me to hide behind the box, and then after the ground fell, we had no choice, into the hole next to it, although there was ventilation and water, but we really couldn't get out, fortunately, the prince came, Rescued the slave and maid. ”

Speaking of this, Jiyun was already in tears, "It's the slave maid who is useless, he didn't protect the princess, and the slave maid is really ashamed of the prince." ”

Jiyun knelt on the ground in shame and kowtowed repeatedly.
