Chang Ying twisted her fingers, Zi Yan knew the location where her carriage fell off the cliff, since Ling Yan had been looking for her in Tongzhou for several days, he should at least follow the route of her fall from the cliff.

Although she didn't remember how far she had taken Yang Su, there had been a fight in the place where she fell, and Ling Yan should have known about it.

Normally, Ling Yan should have gone to track down the origin of that group of people, so did he find out?

"Girl, Mrs. Gu has asked someone to give a gift."

As he was talking, Zi Yan came in with the maids holding many packages with festive paper cuts.

"What courtesy?" Changying stood up.

He Lu, who walked at the end, smiled and gave a gift, and said: "If you go back to the girl, it is a meeting gift from the Ji family to the girl, and the meaning of the in-laws is that the young masters in the house have a meeting gift, so you have to have a share, girl." ”

Changying felt sorry, she knew that she had already left the Ling family, and she didn't go to the wedding banquet yesterday, but the Ji family still prepared her gift, which meant that she was still a girl of the Ling family.

And if it weren't for my aunt's will, the Ji family would not have made their own decisions.

Thinking about it like this, he felt even more guilty, he couldn't sit still anymore, looked at Ling Yuan and said, "How can I thank you in return?" ”

Ling Yuan got up: "I'm about to go back to the house, I'll go and tell you for you." ”

Changying nodded. Then he asked him to wait, and went back to the room to fetch the mink skin, and said to him, "The prince gave it to me, you can help me bring it back and make a dress for my aunt." At the Ji family, I will ask Zhiyuan to come out to thank you another day. ”

Ling Yuan responded.

Back in the house, Mrs. Ling was busy sorting out the remaining items after the wedding banquet with the maid, collected the mink, and inevitably asked about the long tassel.

Ling Yuan sat down as he spoke, remembering what he had discussed before, and then looked at Mrs. Ling: "When I was in Huzhou, I wrote a letter back to my mother and asked my mother to check my father's study, but I really didn't find anything?" ”

Mrs. Ling paused slightly, raised her head and said, "Of course." ”

Ling Yuan asked again: "So when the bell disappeared back then, I don't know what my father could find?" ”

Mrs. Ling stood still for a moment, then sat down on the table: "On the night of the disappearance, your father took someone to Tongzhou. It's been a few days, and it's impossible for me to ask in detail how to check it.

But according to the people who went with them, they searched for hundreds of miles around the accident site, but found no trace. But—"

"But what?"

Mrs. Ling inhaled slowly and said, "Later, he went again, it should have been a few days before the bell came back, I can't tell how many days it was, I was also sick and confused during that time, but I remember that he did go."

"Because he had just finished feeding me medicine the night before I went. Originally, he said that he was going to Feng's house to sit, but he went to Tongzhou for some reason. ”

Ling Yuan paused: "How many days have you been going this time?" The result? ”

Mrs. Ling held her hand on the edge of the table and said quietly: "I have been going for two or three days, but naturally there is no result." ”

"He didn't say anything to you when he came back?"

"Nope." Madam Ling shook her head, "If there are clues, I will definitely be able to remember them." ”

Ling Yuan frowned and didn't ask again.

……

Changying listened to Ling Yuan in the yamen and got the result.

"A hundred miles?" Locking on this key, Changying asked, "Although I don't remember the specific route, but according to the situation at the time, it is impossible for me to walk out of a hundred miles with the seriously injured prince, how could he not find me?" ”

The point is that there were still many people secretly watching around the mountain at that time, her fall from the cliff was not something that needed to be covered, and Ling Yan would definitely not hide his identity as Marquis Wu Ninghou to search, so if he searched for a hundred miles, wouldn't he have found the people under the mountain?

"Let's go find him first!" Ling Yuan got up.

Yang Su was in the Yamen of the Five Cities, and after listening to their intentions, he also felt strange: "I was seriously injured at the time, and I couldn't walk smoothly, there may be dozens of miles, but there are definitely not hundreds of miles away."

"You must know that the total boundary of Tongzhou is only so big, there is no reason."

Changying looked at the sky and said, "Do you have any time in the evening?" Why don't we go to Tongzhou now? ”

Yang Su thought about it, handed over the official business to Xie Peng, and then got up: "Let's go." ”

The subordinates happened to meet Fu Rong and Feng Shaokang, who came with them, and asked them, "Where is this going?" ”

Yang Su stopped and smiled: "There is something to do in the south of the city, do you have something?" ”

"It's okay, I'm passing by and begging for a cup of tea." Feng Shaokang said, and urged: "If you have something to do, go quickly, and let's get together again." ”

Yang Su was also not polite and left first.

Feng Shaokang looked at their backs: "In this hurry, what happened in the south of the city, is it worth alarming these people?" ”

Fu Rong looked at it for a while, then retracted his gaze and said, "I'm afraid it's not going to the south of the city." The prince is sweating and blood riding this horse today, and I am afraid that he is going to go out of the city. ”

Feng Shaokang turned his head sideways: "Do you pay attention to what kind of horse the prince rides every day?" ”

"The last time he went to the pond, he rode this one." Fu Rong said with a smile. After speaking, he looked at the sky and said, "Without further ado, I also promised to bring snacks back to our old lady." ”

The streets were divided, Feng Shaokang went straight to the house, Fu Rong went to the dim sum shop, weighed two catties of soft and glutinous dim sum and went home.

The midday sun turned the carriage into a gloomy shadow, sticking to the ground like a large moving cloak.

…… The distance to Tongzhou is close, but only a few dozen miles.

galloped all the way, and entered the boundary of Tongzhou in less than an hour.

After more than ten miles along the path, I finally stopped at the foot of a mountain.

"This is the only way to get to the capital." Changying carefully recognized, turned to look around, and then his eyes fell on a bend in the mountainside: "This is where I met the fight, if I am not mistaken, this is where we fell off the cliff!" ”

Yang Su couldn't see things back then, so he could only identify the position by Changying first. He handed the horsewhip to Tong Qi and walked up.

Changying followed him up the hill to the place where he fell.

This mountain is not high, from the place where you stand, look down, only a few zhang, but because the bottom is a jungle, I don't know the depth, to jump directly is more risky.

But in the past, the trees were not so tall, and they fell by accident, so naturally they couldn't care so much.

Yang Su closed his eyes and jumped a few steps sideways, then a few steps vertically, opened his eyes and said, "The territory is the same size as when I first faced the enemy, it should be here!" ”

Ling Yuan looked ahead for a moment, then found a slender tree trunk and cut it, the trunk was inserted diagonally into the cliff wall, and then he used his strength to go down to the bottom of the cliff, raised his head and said to them: "You can go down!" ”

Changying had no memory at this point, and went down to the bottom of the cliff with Yang Su one after another, and then Yang Su used his memory to identify the direction and lead the way.

Out of the jungle, they stopped all the way, and waited until Tong Qi and they led the horse to come over to meet, and then drove the horse for another half an hour, and finally arrived at the foot of the highest mountain.

The mountain is not only high, but also very steep, full of dense trees and interspersed with stone walls.

"That's pretty much it. Go up the hill and have a look. Yang Su beckoned, still slowly walking forward to lead the way.
