Chapter 44: Night Has Fallen

Qi Yuncang and Yi Lingyun, who followed closely, rode over, and were very surprised to see that the women were here, so they asked about the situation.

The second princess said the situation: "The cousin girl of the Dingning Marquis Mansion is missing. ”

"What's going on?" Qi Yuncang said.

"We were on a lunch break, and she rode away while everyone wasn't looking." Feng Jiaxian said, looking at Qi Yuncang's eyes shining.

"Didn't you see it when you left?" Yi Lingyun asked.

"No, so when I woke up and found it, I don't know how long she had been gone, the second prince and the princes of various prefectures were looking for it over there, and I don't know if I found it." Feng Jiaxian said apologetically, "It's all my cousin's fault, so everyone is so worried, Jiaxian apologizes to everyone here." ”

"I'll just say that kind of person, he doesn't know anything, and he even looks for her with a lot of people, what is the unsightly place that you have to go alone?" He Caizhang wanted to vent his anger this day at this moment.

The ladies discussed, "Didn't they all say that there is a treasure in this mountain?" She shouldn't be looking for the treasure! ”

"Sure enough, she is the daughter of a merchant, and when she sees wealth, she doesn't even care about danger."

"Let's go, let's see." Qi Yuncang felt that something else was wrong, and called Yi Lingyun.

The two of them beat their horses and left only for an instant, without giving the nobles more time to react.

Feng Jiaxian saw that they had left, and said anxiously: "Shizi-ah-my feet-"

"Is Ah Hyun injured too?" The lady next to her asked.

"Xu is the foot that I injured before, and it is not healed." Feng Jiaxian deliberately raised his voice and explained, hoping that Qi Yuncang could hear it.

But the other party did not return.

"Did Ah Xian hurt his foot before?" Feng Jiaxian was caught in a rat trap that day, and she was afraid that she wouldn't get better, so she kept it a secret, and she didn't even tell He Caizhang's big mouth.

"Get off the horse first, and let the guards show you." The second princess said.

The guards have been practicing martial arts all year round, and they will deal with some bruises.

How could she possibly let the guards show her feet, it was disgusting!

Besides, she didn't really have a sore foot, she just wanted Qi Shizi to notice her.

"We just forgot something." Although Mei Ruolian's voice was low, it reached everyone's ears.

"What?"

Her presence has always been very low, and when she suddenly speaks, everyone doesn't pay much attention to her.

"Why don't we ask, how do we go this way? We're already going around in circles, aren't we? ”

"That's right, it's all to blame on that mourning star! If we hadn't all paid attention to the one surnamed Su, how could we have forgotten to ask! He Caizhang said viciously.

"Qi Shizi - Qi Shizi -" Then several people shouted, turning the horse's head around.

Qi Yuncang and the others had just come from the opposite direction where they were advancing and headed in the direction they had come from.

Several people chased after them, and the guards who ran in front chased after them for a long time, but they didn't see Qi Yuncang and the others, so they had to return.

"It's really stupid, it's okay to ask for help, naturally someone will see the flare, let's just wait here."

Someone wanted to release the flare into the sky, but the foliage in the forest was too luxuriant, so they knocked the flare down twice, and the third time was a better guard who climbed up the tree to avoid the foliage before it was successfully released.

The second princess asked everyone to wait for rescue in place, and for a while the sound of complaints, sighs, wails, and moans due to pain sounded, and the atmosphere was even more depressing in this mountain forest that covered the sky and the sun.

After waiting for a long time, night gradually fell, the temperature dropped suddenly, and many people couldn't sit still because of hunger.

"Why hasn't anyone come for so long? It's going to be dark. ”

"Why don't you eat something first, everyone should be hungry at this hour." The second princess said.

"Don't—I want to go back to camp for a good meal!" Yang Qiong said.

"You have also seen it, I am afraid that I will not be able to go back for a while, so let's decide!"

The second princess was resolute and arranged a few guards to hunt, and the remaining guards lit a fire on the spot.

"Everyone's got food right away, right? If we can hunt some prey, we can eat better, and if we can't, we can only hastily satisfy our hunger. ”

"That's it, maybe we'll be able to meet up with the people who came to the rescue in a moment."

"Actually, we don't have to wait here all the time." Mei Ruolian said.

"What does Miss Mei think?"

When the prey returns, it is roasted and eaten by the guards.

This hunt is too far from what I thought, and everyone's interest in eating is not very high.

"The direction in which Qi Shizi and they came just now is unlikely to be the direction of the camp, so I think it's better to go in a different direction, walk a little way, put a signal flare, there will always be a time to be seen."

"But isn't that where we came from behind?" A noble lady asked.

"This is not necessarily, after all, we may be lost, and we don't know when we take a fork in the road, in comparison, the direction in which Qi Shizi came is more certain, I agree with Miss Mei's statement." Feng Jiaxian said.

"But there may be a fork in the road they came from, and maybe one of them leads to the camp?"

The second princess thought for a while: "It's definitely not the direction of the camp, they didn't seem to know anything just now, they shouldn't even see the signal flares, and they would be so surprised to see so many of us together." ”

"I think, did we miss some relatively small roads along the way, after all, few people come to Qingluan Mountain, and there is more grass on those trails, and we ignore it for a while."

"I didn't expect Sister Mei to be so insightful when she didn't talk much on weekdays." Feng Jiaxian exclaimed.

"Then everyone is full, and they go back, paying attention to the fork in the road." The second princess made the final decision.

Later, even after dinner, everyone was still unable to lift their spirits, but they had to get up from fatigue.

Su Yanshang woke up an hour after being kidnapped, she was lying on horseback, her hands and feet were tied with ropes, and she was quite uncomfortable.

After King Ning came, several people rushed to a certain location on the road map, almost uphill along the way.

After two hours, several people felt more and more uncomfortable, and the scenery along the way became more and more beautiful.

King Ning was not without doubts in his heart. The scenery here is completely different from before, and it doesn't seem to be in the same world.

Before that, the mountains and forests were dense, the breath was humid, and the heat and cold were suitable. Here the eyes are much more open, at a glance can see more than ten zhang away without shelter, and the types of trees are different, the leaves are generally not as big as under the mountain, the air seems to be drier, and the mountain wind blows to make people feel powerful. Further up there is snow cover.

Is this really a treasure trove?

"Why don't I feel like I'm breathing well?" One of the guards took a few deep breaths.

"You guy, if you can't breathe, are you infected with wind chill?" The other guard laughed disdainfully.

Ning Wang also felt uncomfortable, but it was not that he was breathless, he just wanted to vomit.

Several people slowed down.

They found a cave, dismounted, and after the two guards went in to tidy up the environment, King Ning carried Su Yanshang into the cave.

"I know you're awake, so let's eat something." King Ning smiled evilly.

Under the swaying bonfire, Su Yanshang was still deserted.

"Untie my hands."

"Oh, that's not necessary, I'll feed you."

"Disgusting!" Su Yanshang snorted at him.

"Ouch, she is worthy of being the daughter of a merchant, this reaction is much stronger than those noble women, this king likes it."

In fact, this is not the case for all the daughters of merchants. Feng Changning's mother didn't like her identity as a businesswoman, she didn't marry a businessman, and her goddaughter didn't follow the businessman's routine.

She chose another educational path for her, leaning her in the direction of the noble girl of the high gate, she succeeded, Feng Changning's gestures are all beautiful women, and even the Xixi she invited are Confucian masters from scholarly families, so Feng Changning's temperament is much better than many noble girls in the capital.

But she also failed, she didn't teach Su Yanshang the other side that a housewife should learn.

"What shall this king say to thy thoughtful look? It's too tempting, and this king can't restrain what to do. ”

"I want to eat."

Feed it or eat it yourself, Su Yansheng, a person who has been married and had a child and was killed by her husband's family, what else is there to be afraid of, eating enough is a big thing, and everything else is a small matter.

Only when she has enough to eat can she escape, this is a very important condition that she has come up with when she thinks about escaping in the past five years.

King Ning hooked his lips and smiled, without any intention of untying her, picked up the cake baked by the guard, and handed it to Su Yansheng's mouth.

Su Yanshang ate it, and he fed her another sip of water.

"You must always remember the grace of this king!"

King Ning broke off a piece of scone, ate it and spit it out.

Su Yanshang raised her eyebrows and sneered.

King Ning stuffed a large piece of cake into Su Yansheng's mouth, she pouted her head, bit down a large piece, and chewed it in her mouth, without any embarrassment at all, and she didn't see how embarrassed she was.

The other two guards, like King Ning, didn't eat.

"What's going on with you?" King Ning asked. He suspected that the air surrounding them was poisonous and that something had to be done earlier.

"Back to the prince, the little one has always felt difficult to breathe." One of the guards knocked his own head.

Another guard also said: "Just now the slave still felt good, and laughed at his poor health, but now it's fine, it's uncomfortable, and I don't know where it's uncomfortable, so I don't want to eat." Lord, we shouldn't be poisoned. ”

"Take the pill first." King Ning not only wanted to vomit now, but also had a headache.

From the time they entered the mountains, each of them took a pill, which could prevent general poisons in one day, such as the miasma common in the mountains and forests in the south, which was counted from yesterday evening to now, just one day.

King Ning added a pill and told the two to take one each.

He glanced at Su Yansheng: "What is wrong with you?" ”

"Dizziness."

"How much can you eat with a dizziness?" Still eating so good? King Ning was skeptical.

"I'm dizzy, not throaty, why can't I eat?"

The three of them smiled awkwardly.

She had learned to lie without changing her face, but she was not uncomfortable in the slightest.

King Ning stretched a pill to her mouth and retracted it again: "Hmph, don't waste it on you, this pill is precious, what if you can't get out for a few days?" ”

Su Yansheng's face was expressionless.

It was already completely dark, and King Ning arranged for two guards to take turns on duty, and he lay down on the thick cloak and fell asleep.

Su Yanshang leaned against the haystack, and the hands tied behind her kept sliding.
