Chapter 15: Searching the Mountains
Wuhu Mountain is actually just behind the courtyard, there is a small village next to it, the village is already brightly lit at the moment, every household is lit up, the movement on the mountain is too big, and the young and middle-aged people in the family are called by the village chief to the mountain to look for people, so the foot of the mountain is full of waiting villagers.
"All the people go home!" Zhao Jian saw that there were so many people under the mountain, and his face was green, so he ordered to drive people out.
"This lord, all the family members in the village have gone up the mountain, we won't make a mess, just wait for them to go home!" An old man walked out tremblingly.
"The Terracotta Division handles the case, which round will you bargain with!" Zhao Jian's subordinates saw his displeasure and hurriedly scolded the surrounding people.
"The Terracotta Division is so powerful, they just want to wait for their family to come back, how can it affect your case?" Li Jing's slightly majestic voice came from behind him.
"See the Four Highnesses!" The people all know Li Jing, although he is the prince, but he has never been harsh to the people in this area, so the surrounding people have a very good impression of him!
"Your Highness, the sword has no eyes, and the lower officials are also to protect the people!" Zhao Jian looked at Li Jing with a headache, the previous Four Highnesses were weak and bulliful, and no one took him seriously, but today it was like a different person.
"Deputy Commander Zhao brought so many people over, not only will he not be able to catch an assassin, but he will also not be able to protect these people, so why did you bring so many people here, and play official power?" Li Jing picked out ugly words and said;
"Your Highness is cautious!"
Sure enough, Zhao Jian's eyes were about to eat people!
"Deputy Commander Zhao came so quickly, but why didn't he go up the mountain to search, the people were almost half searched!" Li Jing looked up at Wuhu Mountain, and the torches were almost halfway up the mountain.
"Leave a small detachment to protect the people and the Four Highnesses, and the rest will follow me up the mountain to search for the assassins!" Zhao Jian looked up at Wuhu Mountain, and sure enough, the torches were almost halfway up the mountain.
"This king is going together!" Li Jing will not let go of this opportunity, he must take out these evidence with his own hands, he must present it to his father and the emperor with his own hands, and he must pay the price for those who slander his grandfather and his dying mother.
"Fourth Highness, don't make trouble!" Zhao Jian was so angry that he was about to faint, this highness, why is he so short-sighted today.
"General Zhu is an important minister of the country, and I almost had an accident in my courtyard, so I am naturally obliged to catch the murderer." Li Jing is like a straw bale prince at the moment.
"Please follow us Your Highness, so that there will be no trouble!" Zhao Jian's eyebrows were about to twist into a ball, and he looked down on this straw bale prince more and more.
Li Jing has walked this road up the mountain many times, during the day and at night, but he walked extra hard at every step today, as if he was going to the end of his heart.
"Your Highness, everything is ready!" Siping followed Li Jing's side closely and told Li Jing the news he had just received before going up the mountain.
Li Jing nodded and followed them into the mountain, and his steps were bigger than before.
"There are traces of people walking here!" It was a hunter at the foot of the mountain, who had been running in the mountains since he was a child, and he knew very well what caused these marks.
"Are you sure?" It was Zhu Yao's subordinates who asked.
"Sure, this trace was at most a quarter of an hour ago!" Orion is very confident, these recognition skills are all he has learned since childhood, how can he be wrong.
"Go this way!" They knew very well that these hunters in the mountains knew much more about the mountains than they did.
After walking only a hundred or ten steps, I saw a hole faintly visible in the grass, and if it weren't for the large number of people coming tonight, and the torches illuminating the surroundings, I really wouldn't be able to see it.
"It smells of blood!" In the end, it is the people who survived the battlefield and are particularly sensitive to the smell of blood.
"It's still fresh! Deputy General Su ...... "The soldiers didn't say any more, the people in the cave are either dead, or now the cave is full of organs, waiting for them to enter;
Vice General Su and his soldiers took a step forward in an instant, and the people who went up the mountain to help stood behind;
"Everyone disperse, if someone rushes out, remember to run in all directions!" Vice General Su whispered to the people who went up the mountain;
Then he picked up a small stone and threw it in, and after waiting for two or three breaths, he did not hear any sound, and he cautiously leaned inside.
One by one, they cautiously leaned forward, and they found nothing, not even the slightest sound of breathing;
"Torch!" Vice General Su stretched out his hand, and the little soldier took out the torch from behind him and lit the torch with a fire fold, and the hole instantly lit up, and everyone saw the situation in the cave clearly.
"Go and ask the Fourth Highness to come over!" When Vice General Su saw these things, he felt that he might have something big......
"Adjutant General Su, the little soldier who reported the news ...... just left, and everyone was a little undecided, this matter was too big......
When Li Jing and Zhao Jian arrived, the cave was already brightly lit, and all corners were illuminated by torches very clearly, as if to indicate that the truth that had been sealed for sixteen years was finally about to reappear in the world at this moment.
"Fourth Highness!" Vice General Su was originally grateful to Li Jing for saving General Zhu, but now that he has discovered the truth about Su Hou, he is not only grateful to His Royal Highness, but also has some sympathy.
"This ......" When he saw the contents of the cave, Zhao Jian could only describe it as dumbfounded, originally he was just here to search for the assassin, but now, it is estimated that the sky is about to be pierced.
The outermost layer of the cave is actually an ordinary cave, and when ordinary people come in, they don't think that there is a mezzanine inside, and it is also because the assassin died in the secret door, so everyone can see inside.
The furnishings inside are very exquisite, but this decoration is not Dayong's decoration at first glance, but it is the Hera Dynasty that has been at war with Dayong in recent years.
The secret room full of information about the Hora Dynasty, Li Jing walked into it step by step, which was full of exquisite storage mechanisms and excellent letter protection measures;
Li Jing stood in front of one of the collection boxes, and did not move for a long time, as if he was in a research institution:
Li Jing gently pressed the mortise and tenon on the outside of the box, and the box opened automatically:
The letter at the top is: Prince of Fuyang - Xin Chou year - May 20.
Li Jing picked up the letter with trembling hands, and the envelope was a little yellowed, which showed that the time was long:
Li Jing turned his back to everyone, but everyone could feel the shock and sadness he felt from the inside out, especially the moment he opened the letter, his whole person was full of disbelief!
