Qiu Shengrong followed his subordinates down to the bottom of the cliff, and found only a large pool of blood next to a river, as well as the dragon pattern jade ornament that His Majesty often carried, and the jade pendant had been almost shattered.

Everyone was in a very low mood, but Qiu Shengrong still didn't give up, he continued to search with a cold face, and walked forward hundreds of steps but saw dark yellow armor on the ground, Qiu Shengrong immediately ran up and beckoned people to come over.

The armor is mostly damaged, blood stains are everywhere, and the clear spring can't bury the smell of blood here, Qiu Shengrong's heart has almost fallen to the bottom, and he has prepared for the worst.

Qiu Shengrong squatted down, his arm trembled slightly, he gritted his teeth and turned the person over, but what caught his eye was an unrecognizable face, and it was even difficult to distinguish his original appearance.

Qiu Shengrong personally lifted the person to the wheelbarrow, tied the reins on the cart to his waist, and pulled the cart back step by step. The subordinate wanted to come forward to help, but Qiu Shengrong refused.

"I failed to persuade Your Majesty to dispel my thoughts, it was a mistake, and it was a mistake to fail to accompany you. That's all I can do now. ”

The reins strangled Qiu Shengrong's abdomen with blood marks one after another, and the palms were all bloodstains strangled by the reins, and the blood stains splashed on the ground drop by drop, blooming strange flowers.

After returning to the barracks, Qiu Shengrong sat on the chair and felt that something was wrong, so he hurriedly summoned the soldiers who had eaten and lived with Wu Yan before. There were so many corpses, he didn't find Wu Yan.

This shows that either he is a spy of the enemy, or he has escaped this catastrophe for His Majesty, although he prefers the first outcome, he still can't help but pray that His Majesty can live.

A soldier walked into the tent, claiming to be the person who lived in the same tent with Wu Yan, listening to this person's words, Wu Yan had a black birthmark under his back, because he often joked about this matter, so he remembered it more clearly.

Qiu Shengrong immediately sent someone to check, and sure enough, although the man fell into a blur of flesh and blood, the black birthmark on the bottom of his back was still clearly visible.

Xi and Niangniang bless, Your Majesty will definitely return safely, Qiu Shengrong prayed silently in his heart. Even he, a person who has never believed in God, couldn't help but pray, which shows the importance of Li Chengde to Tianlan.

If the country has no king, the country will not become a country, the family will be difficult to be a family, and in the end it will be ordinary people.

Qiu Shengrong sent people to secretly continue the search at the bottom of the cliff, but for several days, not even a single corner of the clothes was found, and there was not even a single family around.

The longer the time, the smaller the chance that His Majesty will survive, but now Yuan Qi is spreading the news of Emperor Tianlan's death everywhere, and Shangjing has also sent several letters in the past few days to inquire about His Majesty's current situation.

It seems that this matter cannot be hidden......

Qiu Shengrong wrote a letter of guilt with grief, recounted the cause and effect of a few days ago in detail in the letter, and put the damaged jade pendant in the envelope, and quickly whipped it to Shangjing.

In the Tai Chi Palace, Li Xinghe was still reviewing the chapters, but for some reason, there has always been colic in his heart in recent days, but fortunately, the pills prescribed by Yuan Zheng for himself have been much better after taking them.

"Your Highness, Pingyang City is eight hundred miles urgent."

Eight hundred miles to expedite, now Chaozong needs to send eight hundred miles to write a letter to report safety? Li Xinghe suppressed the panic in his heart, took the envelope, how did he feel a lot heavier than before, and touched it with his hand It seems that there are still some jade pieces.

opened the envelope, and the words "Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess" on it were not written by Chaozong, not to mention that he would not call himself that, maybe he was too busy to find someone to write it on his behalf, Li Xinghe kept comforting himself.

But after reading the entire letter, Li Xinghe felt that today must be April Fool's Day, how could a good person disappear, how could it be.

Li Xinghe stood up, his trembling hands propped up on the desk, his lips did not have a trace of blood, as if he thought of something, Li Xinghe poured all the contents of the envelope on the table.

The sound of the broken jade piece colliding with the desk kept knocking on Li Xinghe's nerves, but the sound was so crisp that it was like the sound of a soul from hell.

Originally, she thought that Yuan Qi was spreading false news to undermine Tianlan's morale, but she didn't expect that what they said was close even if it was not the truth. Although Li Chengde is not dead, he is missing, and Qiu Shengrong has led people to look for a few days and nights without results.

Rong Cheng walked into the hall with a bowl of steaming tonics, but saw Li Xinghe standing in front of the desk with a pale face, his hair messy. Rong Cheng felt that something was wrong for a while, Li Xinghe would not be so out of shape in front of outsiders, I am afraid that something happened.

Seeing that it was Rong Cheng, Li Xinghe grabbed Rong Cheng's sleeve like a life-saving straw and asked,

"Did you really send the news of Jiuli's entry into the war to Pingyang? With my understanding of Chaozong, if he knew that Jiuli was participating in the war, he would definitely not be so reckless. ”

Rong Cheng placed the lacquer plate in his hand in front of the desk, frowned, and hurriedly asked,

"But what happened to Your Majesty?"

Li Xinghe couldn't hold back his tears at this moment, and clutched his sleeves tightly and threw himself into his arms. She had already treated him as her brother when she got along with Rong Cheng, and all her emotions poured out for a while, fear, panic, etc., all emotions.

The voice was choked, the face was full of tears, the thick eyelashes were stained with tears, and even the words were intermittent. Rong Cheng gently stroked Li Xinghe's hair, coaxing the little girl in his arms sentence by sentence.

Combined with her questions and her reaction, Rong Cheng probably guessed that something happened to Li Chengde, and he could provoke Li Xinghe like this, I'm afraid this matter is not small.

"Chaozong, he's missing, can you help me find him back, I know you can't get out of Beijing, then you can send your subordinates to help me bring him back?"

Li Xinghe poked his head out after venting his emotions and asked with teary eyes.

"This is His Highness's order, Rong Cheng should do his best."

Rong Cheng lowered his eyes, looked serious, and spoke in a pious tone.

After receiving a positive response, Li Xinghe's heart felt a little better, seeing that Rong Cheng's clothes were full of messes he had made, Li Xinghe was also a little embarrassed for a while, scratched the back of his head, and hurriedly apologized.

But this action made Rong Cheng chuckle, how could he bear to blame her, not to mention that this was just a piece of clothing, even if she wanted her own life, he was willing to offer it with both hands.

In the afternoon, Li Xinghe planned to go to the Astrology Pavilion to try his luck, although Cang'er had already left the palace, his apprentice should not be far behind.
