Chang'an City, Imperial Palace.

Fang Xuanling took Tang Jian's letter and came to the Taiji Palace.

"Your Majesty, this is a letter from the Prairie Court. Ju Guogong's handwriting. ”

Li Er took it and sneered: "They have such a big appetite." If it had been before, I might have really negotiated to lose some money. Right now? No need to negotiate, see you on the battlefield. ”

Fang Xuanling handed over the handkerchief, "This is a token of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Ju Guogong couldn't tell if it was the prince's thing, so he sent it back. Because the Turks did not allow the envoy to see the crown prince, the prince of Ju Guogong could not judge what happened to His Royal Highness the crown prince. Only by tokens. ”

Li Er took the handkerchief and looked at it carefully for a long time, "Handkerchief? I haven't seen it. And it's like a woman's thing, not like it's a dry thing. Someone came, please ask the queen to come over, and in addition, the chamberlain next to the prince of the East Palace was also called. ”

I found a few people who were most familiar with Li Chengqian and identified them one by one, but no one knew them.

One of the chamberlains whispered, "This is not His Royal Highness the Prince's belongings, could it be that they have mistaken someone?" It wasn't His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who was kidnapped? ”

Well?

"Bastard, who said that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was taken captive?" Fang Xuanling scolded angrily.

But Li Er stretched out his hand to stop him, "Wait." It may not be unreasonable, this is not a token of Cheng Qian, no one in the Turks has ever seen Cheng Qian, and it is really possible that the wrong person was kidnapped. ”

The queen was pleasantly surprised: "So, then say so, Cheng Qian is okay?" But...... But where is the Chengqian? ”

Forehead......

Yes, if it wasn't Cheng Qian, who would it be? Where is the real prince?

So far, there has been no news, if it is not the prince of the grassland, then the prince has been missing for so long, maybe...... Isn't it more dangerous to have been fed wolves, insects, tigers and leopards? It's better to be captured by the Turks.

Fang Xuanling hurriedly persuaded: "Not necessarily. Even if the Turks don't recognize His Royal Highness the Tang Prince, they won't even be mistaken by men and women. This handkerchief belonged to a woman, and the Turks must have tied it to a man. Not only do we have to determine the identity of His Highness, but the Turks must be in a hurry to determine the identity. ”

"They dare to threaten us with conditions, which means that they have confirmed that it is His Highness. Wechen thought that this handkerchief ...... Maybe it was given to His Highness by a certain woman. ”

"Cheng Qian is young and has not yet promised to marry, where did the woman's token come from?" The queen retorted.

"Maybe I got acquainted during my travels."

……

Hiss......

Everyone was silent, and if you think about it, it's really possible.

Li Er waved away the idle people and others, leaving only the queen and Fang Xuanling, "Shouldn't it be when Luoyang ......?"

He didn't say anything unpleasant, for fear that this handkerchief was given by an Oiran from Jinxiulou. The prince of a country fell in love with the beautiful woman, and it would be embarrassing to spread it.

Because it was her son's thing, Empress Eldest Sun looked at it very carefully, "This handkerchief...... Small and exquisite, the materials are excellent, and the workmanship is excellent. It's not something that ordinary people can afford. It should come from some great nobleman. If it was Cheng Qian, who gave it to him? He slept in the open along the way, where did he meet...... Could it be? ”

"Qinghe Cui's clan?" The emperor and empress looked at each other and exclaimed in unison.

Fang Xuanling pointed to the embroidery on the handkerchief and said, "There is a Ning character embroidered on it." His Royal Highness once studied in the Qinghe Cui family, why don't you send someone to inquire if the Qinghe Cui family has a school-age woman named Ning? ”

Li Er motioned to Fang Xuanling to do it.

Turning his head, he laughed and said: "Once the royal family wanted to marry a girl with a fifth surname, they looked down on us, I once asked people to test and ask in private, and wanted to tell Cheng Qian a family matter, but they were also rejected by domineering. What now? is worthy of my species, the women of the Qinghe Cui clan took the initiative to throw themselves into their arms, to see what else they could say? ”

Empress Eldest Sun glanced at her and said angrily, "My son hasn't been saved yet." Besides, you have tried people in private and refused, what if they refuse in person this time? If the son falls in love with the daughter of the Cui family, but we can't help him marry at that time, how will it end? ”

I, I......

Li Eryao sighed for a while, and after thinking about it for a long time, there was no good way, what the queen said was right, it may not be a good thing. Alas...... This rebel is not at ease when he goes out to study, and he causes trouble.

Luoyang battalion, Hou Junji and Su Lie, led tens of thousands of cavalry troops ready to go, Zhang Shigui and Zhai Changsun led the Xuanjia army on the side, and Xiao Rui was mixed in it, an inconspicuous personal guard.

With Hou Junji's order, the collective opened.

Xiao Rui looked around, and sighed: "Changle, this girl, is really nonsense, she has gone to Luoyang to join the army, why don't you show up?" I wonder if everyone is worried about her? ”

The team traveled a hundred miles in a day, and the waiter Lao Gao caught up with Xiao Rui and said: "Master Ma, we have followed all the way, and we have checked within a radius of five miles, but we have never found any trace of the little princess." Could it be...... The little princess didn't come with us at all? ”

Xiao Rui chuckled in his heart: "Now that Cheng Qian has not been saved, if Changle is lost again, then Your Majesty will have to skin us alive." Go and talk to General Hou that our Xuanjia Army will be delayed for a day. Think about countermeasures to find someone. Now I don't dare to reply to His Majesty that the princess is missing. The Great War is imminent, and His Majesty cannot be distracted. ”

At night, in the dead of night, Xiao Rui, under the protection of Lao Gao and the secret guard, walked into an ordinary mountain.

In the dead of night, you can occasionally hear a few chirping of insects and animals, and most animals are diurnal.

Xiao Rui shouted loudly into the air around him: "Xiao Changle, come out quickly, my brother-in-law promised to take you to the war together, and I won't send you back to Chang'an, don't hide it." ”

……

He shouted several times in a row, but there was no movement except for the echo of the mountains and forests.

Xiao Changle in the distance grimaced and giggled: "Brother-in-law is really good at deceiving people, so I won't be fooled by you." If I show up now, you will definitely send someone to send me back to Chang'an. I won't go back if I am killed, so I will follow you secretly to protect you. When you get to the battlefield, hehe, you can't catch up. ”

Seeing that there was no response, Xiao Rui's eyes rolled and changed his words: "Changle, come out quickly." If you don't come out again, your brother-in-law won't go to the front line, go back to Chang'an directly, and you can follow them to fight by yourself. ”

……

Still no one answered.

The waiter was anxious, "What can I do?" It can't be that the princess has an accident too, right? ”

Xiao Rui shook his head and said, "Probably not, she is different from Cheng Qian, there are two strange beasts around her." Da Bai and Erhua have traveled with me for a year, they are very humane, and they can't hurt them when they are idle, and they are even more kings in the mountains and forests. ”

"Alas...... It seems that this girl has been studying with Uncle Ge for a year, and she has grown her skills, and ordinary methods can't deceive her at all. ”

Li Junxian said worriedly: "What should I do then?" You can't really turn back to Chang'an, right? ”

Xiao Rui said helplessly: "My current body can't withstand the fatigue of tossing back and forth." Just follow it if you want. Lao Gao, continue to search around, it is best to send people to start from Chang'an, on both sides of the official road from Chang'an to Luoyang, and expand the range to ten miles. ”

"Focus on searching for traces of a person's picnic in the mountains and forests, even if she doesn't change her clothes, she has to eat. It is impossible to eat raw bamboo with the big white two flowers. ”
