Sigh on a moonlit night, Hu does not return Chapter 417 The second prince returned alone and asked when the king would return
At noon on the third day of the camp, the teams that went out to hunt bears returned one after another.
The team of the only three princes in all the teams had a lot of harvest, and they had hunted five bear bile, and the Tai Hospital made medicine from fresh bear bile, and the emperor looked much better after taking it.
However, seeing that it was night, I didn't see the team of the King and the Second Prince come back.
The emperor asked the birds to go out to deliver the letters, but a whole day passed, and how the birds flew out and how they returned to the camp, and the letters on their legs did not even move.
Ye Zhiwei was still calm, but when she saw that on the fifth day, there was no news, so she called Chuan Ming and asked him to send a secret guard out to investigate.
Who knew that Chuan Ming told him that he had sent the secret guard out as early as the evening of the third day, but there was no news so far.
"How so?" Ye Zhiwei frowned again and again, even if she was missing, she would be able to find some clues, but now they seemed to have disappeared out of thin air.
At noon on the sixth day, Ye Zhiwei was leaning on the couch and closing her eyes to recuperate because she hadn't slept well for the past few nights, when she suddenly heard a noisy sound outside, and someone seemed to be talking vaguely: "Second Highness is back......"
She opened her eyes suddenly, "Kawaaki! She called.
"Ma'am." Chuan Ming appeared outside the tent door almost immediately, "It's His Royal Highness who has returned." ”
Ye Zhiwei sat up nervously, "Except for him......"
"His Royal Highness is alone." Chuan Ming's tone also carried a hint of loss.
"Got it." Ye Zhiwei said lightly, "You continue to send people to investigate, if there is any news, report it quickly." ”
"Yes."
Not long after Chuan Ming left, a guard came to the tent and replied: "Mrs. Hou, the emperor sent Gonggong Liu to invite you over." ”
Ye Zhiwei had no choice but to pack up and take Xiaolian and Chuan Ming to the emperor's tent.
As soon as he entered the door, he saw that all the ministers were gathered on both sides, and the three princes stood in front of the emperor and said in a loud voice: "The sons are willing to lead the troops to go, please ask your father for permission!" ”
Ye Zhiwei walked in and saw that the second prince was haggard, and was supported by the chamberlain and stood aside.
"Lord Ningyi came just in time, you can also come and listen, and it is good to have a number in your heart." The Emperor sighed.
Ye Zhiwei only felt a sigh in her heart, and her hand was subconsciously placed on her lower abdomen.
The Emperor asked the chamberlain to bring a chair and let her sit down.
The second prince then continued: "When Erchen and the others had just passed the fourth mountain beam, suddenly several unidentified assassins appeared at the foot of the mountain, and the king of England and others fought with them, but an avalanche suddenly occurred on the top of the mountain, and the ministers couldn't remember what happened later, and when they woke up, they found that everyone was gone, and Erchen lost his horse, so he had to walk back step by step...... Fortunately, I met the guards who came to the mountains to look for people on the way......"
Ye Zhiwei's gaze seemed to fall on the second prince's leg unintentionally, "I heard that His Royal Highness seems to have fallen down a ravine and injured his leg, but I didn't expect to walk in the mountains these days, but it is much better." ”
On the surface, she seems to care about the second prince, but in fact, there is a strong irony in her words.
Where does he look like he hurts his leg?
It's okay not to mention this matter, the second prince's face changed suddenly, and he arched his hand to the emperor, "Erchen was about to mention this matter to his father, when His Royal Highness the King and others came to look for Erchen, Erchen still felt strange, where did the news come from, Erchen did not fall and hurt his leg, but unfortunately before the matter could be clarified with the King of England and others, an assassin came from the bottom of the mountain, followed by an avalanche......"
Ye Zhiwei pursed her lips.
There must be someone in this matter, but now there is no evidence, and it can only be relied on by the words of the second prince.
"Please allow your son to lead the troops to go, and your son will definitely find the sixth brother and the mighty marquis!" The third prince stood in front of the tent and said loudly, with a hint of anxiety between his brows, as if he was genuinely worried about this matter.
Ye Zhiwei sneered silently at the villain in her heart, but she was afraid that among the ministers present now, there were few who were really worried about Feng Duhan and the British King.
If the king is gone, it will be a great benefit to the third and second princes.
If the wind and twilight can't come back, then for these courtiers, they will have one less powerful opponent.
The emperor groaned slightly, and decisively sent four teams of men and horses to search for the place where the king and them disappeared from all sides, and the third prince led a team of cavalry to search in the mountains.
When everyone left the emperor's tent, their eyes fell on Ye Zhiwei.
Ye Zhiwei completely felt the complex meaning and schadenfreude in those eyes.
Ye Zhiwei left the emperor's tent with a calm expression, along the way, she has been straightening her back, in front of outsiders, she will never show half of her cowardice, what those people want to see, isn't it her lost soul.
She just won't get what they wanted, she wants to live well, and she wants to wait for the day when he comes back safely.
Two days passed, and the search party sent by the emperor did not come back with any news.
Counting from the fingers, it has been a full five days since they disappeared in the twilight and cold.
Ye Zhiwei was silent on the surface, but in fact, her heart was also secretly drumming.
Other people's horses may run away because of avalanches, but Kicking Cloud Black Horse is a very spiritual horse, even if it escaped at that time, it will go back to find its owner later, but after so many days, even Kick Cloud Black Horse has not returned, presumably the horse is either dead, or with the owner, trapped somewhere.
Just as she was thinking wildly, Chuan Ming's voice sounded low outside the tent door, "Mrs. Hou, the secret guard is back......"
"Quick, bring him in." Ye Zhiwei hurriedly said.
The curtain was raised, and Chuan Ming brought in a man dressed as a guard, Ye Zhiwei knew that in order to prevent being discovered by others in the camp, these secret guards dressed up as camp guards.
"Tell me, what's going on?" Ye Zhiwei asked.
Dark Guard said: "The subordinates found the place where the avalanche occurred, but it was all covered with thick snow, and the subordinates tried to let people dig and think of some clues, but the slightest noise there would cause another avalanche on the mountain, and the subordinates tried several times, but all failed." ”
Ye Zhiwei's hands in her sleeves couldn't help but shrink, but she secretly warned herself that she should be calm at this time, as long as she didn't see his body for a day, she would have reason to believe that he was still alive, "What else have you found?" ”
"Not far from the avalanche site, my subordinates found a crypt, which was not found because it was covered with thick snow at first, and the snow in the thin part yesterday was sunburned a little, so the hole was exposed."
"The Crypt?" Ye Zhiwei became nervous, "How deep, have you ever gone down to explore?" ”
The dark guard shook his head, "My subordinates have sent people to try to go down, but even if all the ropes they carry are connected, they can't reach the bottom of the cave......"
In other words...... Unfathomable......
Ye Zhiwei only felt as if a cool breeze was blowing in her heart, and even the blood in her body seemed to be about to freeze.
