In the brazier, the charcoal burns red, revealing a warm temperature. 『．

Under the reflection, Lu Ruoqing's eyes also flashed.

After a long time, she said, "You're right. ”

For example, she risked the great crime of disobeying the holy decree and went to Mobei to find Xiao Shaoxuan, knowing that the odds were as small as looking for a needle in a haystack, but she still insisted on doing it.

Because ......, she does.

Lu Ruoqing lowered the curtain and ordered, "Let's go." ”

Xiao Hao took a deep look, didn't say more, and quickly got into the carriage.

The group continued to move forward with the stars and the moon.

Last time, Lu Ruoqing traveled day and night for six days to rush to Liangzhou.

This time it was about the same time.

The carriage stopped outside Liangzhou City, and Xiao Hao asked, "Do you want to see your mother and brother?" ”

Lu Ruoqing shook her head, "See you first." ”

One, I don't want to waste time.

Second, I am afraid that if I see my mother and brother, they will prevent her from looking for Xiao Shaoxuan.

Xiao Hao didn't persuade much, and said: "Then rest your feet, change horses, and then continue on your way." ”

It took half a day to rush from Liangzhou to the northwest military camp.

Xiao Hao said: "Before it gets dark today, you should be able to arrive." ”

Lu Ruoqing nodded, "Almost." ”

But ......, the difficulties have only just begun.

The northwest military camp is easy to go, but it is difficult to find Xiao Shaoxuan near the battlefield, it is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Everyone rested for a while in Liangzhou City, and then continued to set off.

After leaving the city, Lu Ruoqing looked ahead.

Heaven and earth are vast......

At this moment, where is Xiao Shaoxuan?

Are you on the line of life and death?

Is he hurt? Is it serious? How much longer can it last?

Lu Ruoqing prayed silently in her heart.

God bless, give Xiao Shaoxuan a little more vitality, you must bless him to be alive!

She would rather spend the rest of her life with him in half.

I do not seek to be born on the same day and month of the same year, but to die on the same day of the same month.

Lu Ruoqing burst into tears.

Xiao Hao saw it in his eyes, and wanted to hand over a handkerchief, but he held back.

---- she doesn't need to.

It was her tears for Xiao Shaoxuan, and she didn't need the comfort of another man, especially him.

Xiao Hao smiled lightly.

When Lu Ruoqing can shed a tear for him, his life will be complete.

The road ahead is confused, and the yellow sand is all over the sky.

Lu Ruoqing was haggard and sad, and sat in the carriage expressionlessly.

Xiao Hao rode a horse and followed.

---- atmosphere is very solemn.

Lu Ruoqing is worried about Xiao Shaoxuan's life and death, and whether she can find him and catch up to save him.

Xiao Hao thought that after finding Xiao Shaoxuan, he should leave.

The atmosphere was solemn all the way.

The further I went, the more bumpy the road became, and the carriage was very bumpy.

Xiao Hao leaned over and asked, "Is it uncomfortable for you?" Slow down a bit. ”

Lu Ruoqing said: "Slow, I feel uncomfortable." ”

Xiao Hao, "............"

At this moment, one of the guards shouted, "There are vultures ahead!" ”

Xiao Hao looked up when he heard the sound.

The scorching sun in autumn and winter shines in the sky, emitting a cold and dazzling light, which makes people unable to open their eyes.

He raised his hand and looked out of his hand.

In the sky ahead, there were several black vulture figures hovering, spinning and turning.

Vultures like to eat carrion the most.

That means there are corpses underneath that area, or people, or nearby animals.

The guard stepped forward and said, "Princess, there is likely to be a fight in front, so leave the corpse, should we take a detour?" ”

Lu Ruoqing said lightly: "Since they are all corpses, what are you afraid of?" Just walk over. ”

The guard commanded, "Yes." ”

They don't mind looking at the corpse, they are mainly worried about the princess, and the princess has no opinion, of course, there is no need to detour.

Walking forward, soon came to the place where the vultures were circling.

The terrain here is very steep.

The whole road is on top of a cliff, and a few hundred meters below, it is a large rushing river.

Looking down from above, on the other side of the river under the cliffs, there were vultures gnawing at the corpses.

Although it is not very clear from a distance.

But it can be seen that the body has been torn and mutilated, which is horrific and disgusting.

Lu Ruoqing frowned and said: "Judging from the shape of the corpse, it looks like it has been decomposed, and I am afraid that it has been dead for half a month." ”

Xiao Hao was surprised, "You're really not afraid of this." ”

Lu Ruoqing said lightly: "What is so terrible about a dead person? In this world, only the living need to be guarded. ”

"Princess!" The guards exclaimed: "Those corpses seem to be wearing the Huo family's military uniforms!" ”

"Huh?" Lu Ruoqing wanted to take a closer look and took a few steps forward.

"Beware! Don't get too close to the edge of the cliff. Xiao Hao grabbed her.

"You let go!" Lu Ruoqing said unhappily: "I still want to save His Highness, and I won't jump into the river to find a short time." ”

Xiao Hao didn't let go, "The cliff is steep, and the river is easy to get windy, so it's better to hold you safely." ”

Lu Ruoqing was so angry that she wanted to hit him.

In front of the guards, I don't want to be embarrassed.

She withdrew her hand slightly, let him pull on his sleeve, and continued to lean over and look ahead.

She had been to Liangzhou once before.

The army stationed in Liangzhou, in addition to the local soldiers, also has some soldiers of the Huo family, so I have seen it.

Lu Ruoqing distinguished for a while, "That's right! It is the costume of the Huo family army in the northwest. ”

Xiao Hao said strangely: "This place is quite far from the battlefield, and the direction is not right, how can the Huo family's soldiers appear here?" ”

The guards were also puzzled, "yes, that's weird. ”

"Look." Lu Ruoqing raised her hand and pointed forward, "The river comes from the northwest and goes down to the southeast." ”

The guards were confused, still not understanding.

Xiao Hao said: "Do you think that the corpses of the Huo family army fell into the water near the northwest battlefield and were washed here by the river." ”

Lu Ruoqing nodded lightly, "Yes, that's what I thought." ”

She instructed the guards, "Take a rope, hang a man who knows how to swim down, swim to the other side of the river, and see if there are any clues." ”

One of the guards commanded, "I'll go." ”

So they tied the rope to the carriage, and several of them pulled together, and released the guard from the cliff, and let him swim to the other side with the rope around his waist.

Lu Ruoqing waited anxiously.

Xiao Hao stood next to him, wanting to say something, but he didn't know what to say.

He couldn't help but wonder, if there was a corpse under the cliff, would there just be one of them Xiao Shaoxuan?

Perhaps, that was the result he wanted most.

It wasn't long before the water-savvy guard swam back again, drenched, and the river was dripping down.

Lu Ruoqing hurriedly asked, "What clues are there?" ”

The guard gasped, "It's all ......, it's all rotten, I can't tell who it is, anyway, there is no one who my subordinates know." ”

Lu Ruoqing's expression was complicated.

She didn't know what to be disappointed with? Or should I rejoice?

Maybe ......, no news, is the best news.

"The subordinates took these personal belongings, but, but ......, none of them carried their names." The guard felt for it from his bosom, picked out several things, and threw them on the ground.

There is a small dagger, a jade pendant, and a purse embroidered with bamboo leaf patterns.

Lu Ruoqing's mind swept over in a trance.

Suddenly, she jerked her head back and looked at it again.

Xiao Hao was surprised: "Is there something wrong?" ”

Lu Ruoqing slowly stepped forward, picked up the purse embroidered with bamboo leaf patterns, turned around and went to the carriage to get the kettle, rinsed it carefully, and gradually revealed its original appearance.

---- is her own needlework!

Lu Ruoqing suddenly felt dizzy.

"Beware!" Xiao Hao hurriedly helped her, looked at the purse, and vaguely realized something in his eyes.

"Princess, this purse ......, is it His Royal Highness?" The guard was shocked.

"It's ......, I made it for him with my own hands." Lu Ruoqing's tears rolled out in an instant.

The guards were also stunned when they heard this.

The guard who had gone into the water was stunned and shook his head, "No, no! Those corpses are not His Highness! Although I can't tell the difference, the size is not His Highness, no! ”

But when people die, they are dried and rotten, and they must be deformed.

Lu Ruoqing's heart welled up with uncontrollable fear.

She pinched her purse and trembled, and said in a trembling voice: "I want to ......, I want to see it myself." ”

"The princess can't!"

"No!"

The guards disagreed.

The princess is a delicate and weak woman, how can she go off the cliff? How do you swim to the other side of the river? It's like sending you to death.

"I must go!" Lu Ruoqing screamed.

For the first time in her life, her emotions were completely out of control.

The guards hurriedly said, "Princess, no." ”

"That's it, that's it! It's too dangerous. ”

"The princess is cautious."

Lu Ruoqing's eyes were red from crying, and she hissed: "I must go!" Past! ”

Xiao Hao suddenly said, "I'll go with you." ”

Lu Ruoqing turned her head with tears in her eyes and looked at him, "...... you?" ”

Xiao Hao nodded lightly, "You will never be able to get over alone." Tie you and me with a rope, and I'll swim you there, so that you can be safe. ”

Lu Ruoqing didn't want to hug him.

With red eyes, she turned her head to look at the guard who had just entered the water, "You come with me." ”

The guard was so frightened that he waved his hand again and again, "Princess, spare me!" How can I hold the princess's dignity with my little guard? That's the following sin. ”

Lu Ruoqing looked at the other guards again.

The crowd was so frightened that they retreated.

They are not afraid of killing people with knives, but ......, it is not enough to provoke the princess.

Xiao Hao chuckled, "Even if you hate me, there is no one else to choose now." ”

Lu Ruoqing clenched her teeth.

Xiao Hao looked at her deeply, and said, "In order to save Xiao Shaoxuan, you have the right to endure this time." ”

As he spoke, he began to tie the rope without saying anything.

Lu Ruoqing did not resist.

It is about Xiao Shaoxuan's life and death, she has no choice, even if Xiao Hao stabs her, she has to endure it.

Xiao Hao quickly tied up the rope.

The guards all said, "Don't worry, princess, we will definitely pull the rope tightly." ”

Lu Ruoqing didn't say anything, and walked forward.

Xiao Hao hurriedly followed.

He grabbed her waist and said, "Wait a minute, just hold me tightly, don't worry about anything else, I will definitely bring you to the other side of the river." ”
