Border barracks

As soon as Yu Mingche arrived at the barracks, he and General Wei Chi worked non-stop to study the whereabouts of the surging Chiwu bandits.

He didn't stop until late at night, and General Wei Chi looked at Yu Mingche's tired face and couldn't help but ask someone to bring him some food.

Looking at the meal in front of him, Yu Mingche fell into deep thought again.

Mu Xiyun, where are you now? Are you hungry? Did your appetite that was more than a dozen times a day uncomfortable for you? When you go out, you don't have any money on you, will you be wronged?

"Lord Wang, you can eat something, you haven't eaten until you came from the city." General Wei Chi looked at Yu Mingche's face and couldn't bear to say.

"General Wei Chi, thank you! I'm not hungry. Yu Mingche said lightly.

"You better eat some, otherwise if your body collapses, how can I explain it to the emperor."

"It's okay, this king is fine, but he is bored and has no appetite. Don't worry, this little rogue can't defeat this king. ”

The rogue can't defeat this king, but the runaway princess at home has deeply crushed me.

"Lord Wang! Checkmate! "A soldier ran in from the outside.

"What's the alarm?" General Wei Chi asked sternly

"Outside the city, Mulian Mountain was attached, and traces of the Chiwu tribe were found."

"Let's go!" After speaking, Yu Mingche picked up the saber on the table and walked out, General Wei Chi looked at the motionless food on the table, and also sighed and followed out.

Rushed to the side of Mulian Mountain non-stop, and after searching for a long time without finding any signs of Liukou, Yu Mingche couldn't help but be a little anxious.

"Lord Wang, this group of rogues will come out day and night, looting the surrounding people, and they will definitely leave traces." General Wei Chi said

"Well, we must find them quickly, otherwise I don't know how many more people will be captured and suffer."

"There's a small market in front, Lord Wang, why don't we trim it up and let the soldiers eat something to replenish their strength."

"It's fine." Yu Mingche has basically not eaten anything in the past few days, and now he really feels a little hungry.

Walking to the steamed bun stall in the market, the accompanying soldiers went to buy food, and Yu Mingche and Wei Chiyan sat next to the table.

After a while, the boss hurriedly put on a plate of meat buns, picked up a bun and remembered Mu Xiyun's little gluttonous cat.

Princess, I don't know if you have eaten well these days? Can you eat Babao duck outside?

"Fat Wu, I heard that you have made a fortune in the past few days, I'm afraid you don't need to set up a stall." A peasant woman came to buy steamed buns and stood in front of the stall chatting with the boss.

"Hahaha, I made a little money, and I won't be out of the stall in a few days, and the money that can be exchanged for this expensive thing is just right to take my family to move elsewhere to make a living." The boss was also laughing so hard that he couldn't open his eyes.

"Yes, this rogue has been committing crimes recently, and it's really messed up, by the way, I heard that your thing is only used by the royal family, you are really lucky, take it out and give me a long look."

When he heard the word royal, Yu Mingche raised his eyes vigilantly and stared at the boss and the woman who were chatting.

And when the boss took out the earring, he rushed up and snatched it with a lunge.

"Hey, General, why do you just grab people's things?" The boss was surprised.

He won't admit that Mu Xiyun was wearing these pearl earrings the day she left, she must have been here.

"Say! How do you have a royal thing? Yu Chiyan looked at Yu Mingche in a daze at the earrings, and the tacit understanding for many years let him know that there must be something wrong with the earrings.

"General, don't kill me, don't kill me, I didn't steal this thing, it was a girl who came to eat buns yesterday and didn't have any money to pay me." Wu Fatzi was so frightened that he lay on the ground and shouted.

"Which direction is she going?!" Yu Mingche pinched his earrings and yelled at the boss anxiously.

"She's going, she's going to the side of Mulian Mountain." The boss didn't dare to look up, and pointed in the direction of Komatsu's house with a trembling hand.

"Well, this is for you, I took the earrings, this is not something you should have." After speaking, Yu Mingche took out a gold ingot from his waist and gave it to the boss.

So he got on his horse and went in the direction of Komatsu's house without looking back, and the rest of the people hurriedly followed.

I ran all the way to the foot of Mulian Mountain, where there were only a few families, but I saw that they had all been looted, and several houses had been burned down, and no one could be found.

When Yu Mingche saw such a situation, he couldn't help but panic in his heart, Mu Xiyun, you must not have anything to do.

A soldier ran over, he found a piece of clothing left over from a ruin, and handed it to Yu Mingche.

Yu Mingche looked at it and almost didn't stop, it was the fabric of the coat Mu Xiyun was wearing on the day she left home, she must have encountered an accident.

"Find! Hurry up and find this king! Be sure to find those Chi Wu people! ”

Yu Chiyan no longer spoke, in his impression Yu Mingche has always been steady and composed, never because of anything to disturb his mind, although he has also heard about the loss of the princess in the palace in the past few days, but now seeing Yu Mingche's appearance, he has already believed it in his heart.

The group searched for a long time nearby, and as it became dark, a soldier ran to him, and he found a bead and traces of a bonfire by the stream a few miles away.

Yu Mingche was looking at the bead again, it was the jade on Mu Xiyun's hairpin, she should have been captured by the people of the Chiwu clan.

With a hard kick, the horse ran over in a hurry.

The search for the back is no longer effortless, and every few miles to the place where there is a fork, you will find fragments of Mu Xiyun's jewelry, some are scattered beads, and some are gold pieces on the hairpin.

Yu Mingche smiled slightly, this girl is quite smart, she knows how to leave a mark, let me go to find her.

After running all night, when the morning star rose in the sky, the soldiers who were exploring the way in front replied and found the hidden bandits' den.

Yu Chiyan was just about to give the order to encircle and suppress, Yu Mingche stopped him, came down and squatted on the side of the road, and signaled with a few stones.

He led a team of people to sneak into the woods on the opposite side of the night, while Yu Mingche led another team to approach the bandits' den on foot.

This group of Chiwu bandits walked for a day and a night with a group of captured civilians, and after working hard, they set up camp on the spot and lit a bonfire.

These people were taken to work as coolies for them, and the most beautiful one among them was to be offered to the king as a concubine.

They threw a loaf of bread to each of the people, and sat down by the campfire to drink wine and eat meat.

Xiao Songniang's body was just right, but now she has been dragged away for a day and a night, her body can't hold it anymore, her lips are chapped, and her voice is hoarse.

Mu Xiyun couldn't help it, and stood up and shouted to those people

"How can you do this to us? Even if we are going to be captured and killed, or enslaved, you will at least let us live! Otherwise, how can I explain to your leader!. ”

One of the men in the group stood up, slowly walked in front of Mu Xiyun, and said again, Mu Xiyun didn't understand at all, but he still stared at him with stubborn eyes.

Seeing that she had been talking for a long time, she was still shouting loudly in front of her, the man had no patience, and slapped Mu Xiyun in the face hard, she didn't stand still and fell to the ground, blood flowed from the corner of her mouth.

This scene was seen by a man squatting in the grass, his hand holding the handle of his saber, pinching it so that his muscles were exposed, and his eyes seemed to have two fires burning in them, which were about to burst out.

He still held back, and when he heard the signal that Yu Chiyan was already in place, he rushed out as soon as possible, and directly stabbed the man who raised his knife and was about to slash towards Mu Xiyun.

He didn't say a word, and fell down sullenly. And the woman on the ground, who was still indignant just now, is now closing her eyes tightly and not daring to move.

Yu Mingche's eyes were sour, he had barely slept and eaten in the past few days, all he was thinking about was thinking about this difficult princess, but when he saw her, he couldn't help but almost cried.

"Princess, I'm sorry, this king is late." He crouched down lightly and said softly to the shivering woman.

Mu Xiyun had been waiting for that person's knife to fall, and he was ready to be cut in his heart, but he heard a familiar voice.

Slowly opened his eyes, a familiar face came into his eyes, and he couldn't hold back any longer, hugged his neck and cried loudly.

And Yu Mingche almost cried when he heard her cry, and hugged the woman who made him haunt him.

"Yu Mingche, you nasty ghost, why are you only here now?! I almost died, don't you know?! Mu Xiyun cried loudly and scolded loudly.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm late, the princess suffered." He lifted her face, her face was smudged and her hair was messy, and he couldn't help but laugh.

"You're still laughing!" Mu Xiyun let go of his hand and asked him with a pair of red eyes.

"Why can't I laugh, who made Princess Yan run away from home by herself, and now she is captured, and I want to find you in person." He helped her with a haircut and said softly.

"Don't laugh! By the way, give me a little money before you go out next time, I'm starving. Mu Xiyun cried again.

Yu Mingche was so angry and funny that he had to pull the crying little face into his arms again.

Next time, where will there be a next time? In the future, you will obediently stay in the palace for me, and if you run again, you will be tied to the king's legs, and you will not be allowed to leave a single step.
