Chapter 62
The thorns on both sides of this road were completely cleaned up, which was impossible for Xiao Lian alone.If it wasn't Xiao Lian, then there was only one possibility left - at that time, Da Jin's pursuers had been chasing him all the way to the top of the mountain.

When the group reached the top of the mountain, they saw horseshoe prints and footprints all over the ground. There was only one place without these messy traces-on the rocks on the edge of the cliff.

Li Ying approached the rock softly, and found that the edge of the rock was broken.

"Pull me, I'll get down and have a look."

"No, it's too dangerous!"

"Pull me!" Li Ying ordered without doubt, and Li Xuan had no choice but to hold her ankle tightly with both hands.

Li Ying slowly got down on the ground, the strong wind blowing from all directions on the top of the mountain made her unable to open her eyes, she tried her best to support her body and lower her head.

Under the cliff, there is nothing but a rushing river.

For a moment, she was in a daze.After going through so many ordeals with great difficulty, but before she had time to see the prosperity of this world with him, and live the days of being close to each other and loving each other, did he really just abandon her like this?
The next moment, Li Ying regained consciousness and saw something hanging on the cliff.

She stretched out her hand and tightly held the peace talisman she had sewn by herself.

"Pull me up!"

Li Ying stood up, raised the red safety talisman in his hand, and said in a trembling voice: "This is the safety talisman worn by the general. He must have been forced by the golden man to fall off the cliff from here! I have seen it, and there is Tiaohe, my husband might not be dead yet, he is waiting for us to save him!"

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay for a while, although they were eager to find someone, but this river is in the territory of Dajin, and it stretches for hundreds of miles from west to east, where should they find it?

At this time, Master Yiyuan suddenly said, "If you trust me, you can follow me down the mountain to the territory of Dajin to investigate."

"Master, I can trust you! Let's go now!" Whenever there is a glimmer of hope, Li Ying will hold on tight.

A group of people quickly went down the mountain under the leadership of Master Yiyuan, bypassed many small roads, and entered the territory of Dajin.

"Princess, the river you saw just now is called Beiyuan River. If my lord really fell from the top of Cangshan Mountain, then it is very likely that he fell into the Beiyuan River." Along the way, Master Yiyuan analyzed Xiaoyuan River to Li Ying. The place where Lian may have fallen: "We can check all the way up from the lower reaches, maybe we can find out the whereabouts of the prince."

"Okay, everything is under the master's arrangement."

For the sake of convenience, they disguised themselves as Jin men. Fortunately, Da Jin was seriously injured in the battle with Da Ling, and the border patrol forces were also loose, so they easily entered the Beiyuan River Basin.

There are several villages in the lower reaches of the Beiyuan River that Yiyuan passed by during his travels. When they came to one of the villages, the villagers in the village still recognized Master Yiyuan, and they all lined the road to welcome them. They provided them with a lot of hot food and even There are those who are afraid that they will be cold and give them cotton-padded jackets.

In short, it is not at all the same as Li Ying imagined the common people of Dajin.

Master Yiyuan is right, there are some things that you have not experienced personally, and you will really be swayed by prejudice.

"Folks, I am not here to preach, but to find people."

"Master Taoist, who are you looking for, we will help you find it together!" The villagers in the village responded enthusiastically to the request of the Taoist priest.

"Have you seen a strange man recently? He's about that tall." Li Ying stood on tiptoe with difficulty, "He's wearing a black shirt with a silver bottom, and he should be wearing armor. His face is always cold, and he looks very fierce look."

Folks, you look at me, I look at you, and shake your heads.

Li Ying's high-pitched heart sank again.

"However." A villager said, "It seems that officers and soldiers came to look for the person you mentioned a few days ago."

"What?!" Li Ying's pupils shrank: "Officers and soldiers?
"Yes, but seeing their dejected looks, they must have not found it."

Li Ying secretly thought that something was wrong, it seemed that people from Dajin were also looking for Xiao Lian, what did they want to do, take him as a prisoner and negotiate terms with Daling?
If this is the case, she must find Xiao Lian before Da Jin finds him!

"Master Yiyuan, we are short on time, let's look upstream!" A group of people passed by one village after another without stopping, but they all got the same result.

No one has seen Xiao Lian, not even a dead body.

No news is the best news, Li Ying secretly encouraged herself.

They went all the way up from the lower reaches of the Beiyuan River until they reached the place where Xiao Lian fell off the cliff at the foot of Cangshan Mountain.

"Husband, where are you?" Li Ying sat on the horse, looking at the endless Beiyuan River, and said to herself.

Suddenly, Li Ying had a flash of inspiration.

"Brother, Master Yiyuan! I suddenly thought of a possibility."

People around have gathered around.

"Is it possible that my husband guessed that Dajin's pursuers would not let him go, so he didn't float down the Beiyuan River at all, but went upstream and hid somewhere upstream? !"

In fact, the moment Li Ying thought of this possibility, he had already decided that he must be in the upper reaches!

"It's not too late, let's save him!"

Walking upstream along the Beiyuan River, there are cliffs on both sides of the road, and the stone walls above the head block out the sky, and sometimes the sunlight can only be projected in through the gaps.

There is no trace of anyone coming here, presumably the Dajin soldiers never searched here, they must have thought that Xiao Lian was dead.

This is Xiao Lian's strategy, Li Ying has been with him for so long, she knows that he will not be easily defeated by the enemy.

Soon, the dark light, rough terrain and humid air made the horses under them feel uneasy, they stopped and refused to move forward, and the group had to abandon the horses and walk.

Fortunately, Master Yiyuan travels all over the world, no matter how difficult the road is, he can find his way out.

Under the leadership of Master Yiyuan, a group of 12 people carefully checked the surrounding traces as they walked. As they walked, they gradually couldn't tell whether it was day or night.

Just when Li Ying began to wonder if he was thinking wrong, Li Xuan suddenly pointed excitedly at a stone wall next to him and shouted: "Sister, come and see!"

Li Ying rushed forward and saw a thin scratch on the moss-covered stone wall. If you don't look carefully, you can't see anything at all, but she knows that this kind of scratch that wants to be drawn in a straight line but is crooked must be It is artificial!
"Sister, this must be the mark left by my brother-in-law!"

Li Ying couldn't hide the excitement in her heart, she suddenly had a sore nose: "I knew it, I knew he must be alive!"

"Princess, look here!" Master Yiyuan picked up a stone on the ground and held it in front of Li Ying's eyes: "There is a dark red spot on this stone, it looks like old bloodstains."

Li Ying took the stone in his hand and looked at it again and again, the excitement just now turned into deep worry: "Husband, he is injured!"

"Sister, let's move on, we can't delay any longer!"

There are few people here, and the group called Xiao Lian loudly without any scruples.

"Husband—it's me—"

"Brother-in-law—I'm here to save you—"

"General—where are you—"

But apart from the echo from the valley and the sound of water flowing, there was no other sound.

They didn't even find another mark on the stone wall.

Gradually, the depths of the valley were so dark that you couldn't see your fingers. The group of people had to take out the fire pockets, and walked forward with difficulty while following the road.

Li Ying's feet were actually covered with blood blisters, but she didn't say a word.

As long as Xiao Lian can be found, she will not hesitate to lose ten years of her life.

But Xiao Lian, where are you?

"Husband—husband—" Li Ying continued to shout without giving up.

"Boom."

"Brother-in-law—Xuan'er is here to save you!"

"Boom."

"Will--"

"Wait!" Li Ying suddenly stopped their yelling: "Did you hear anything?"

Everyone pricked up their ears, but they didn't hear anything.

Just when Li Ying thought she was delusional, that voice appeared again.

"Boom-thump-thump-"

This time, it rang three times!

Li Ying's intuition told her that it was Xiao Lian's voice!

"It came from that direction!" Master Yiyuan led them to the left with great skill.

It wasn't until they got closer that they discovered that there was a stone cave hidden in the stone wall surrounded by vines!
That sound came from here.

Li Ying's heart was hanging high, she pushed aside the vines at the entrance of the cave with her hands, and called softly, "Husband, is that you?"

"Boom."

Now, Li Ying heard clearly, in the cave, someone was hitting the stone wall with a stone!

Li Ying was about to go in with the torch, but was stopped by Li Xuan.

"Sister is dangerous, let me come."

Li Ying thought about it and nodded.

Li Xuan and the two soldiers held the torch together, bent their bodies into the cave, and after a while, Li Xuan shouted anxiously: "Sister, come in quickly! Brother-in-law is dying!"

Li Ying's face turned pale in an instant, and she rushed into the cave recklessly.

As soon as he entered the cave, Li Ying smelled a bloody smell rushing towards his face, and when he took a closer look, under the dim light of the fire, the dying person lying on the cave was not his husband, Da Ling's general Xiao Lian? !

"Husband!" Li Ying knelt beside Xiao Lian, seeing his thin and shapeless appearance, tears fell down patter.

There was still an arrow stuck in Xiao Lian's shoulder. How did he manage to walk all the way here with the arrow wound after falling into the icy river from Wanzhang High School?Li Ying couldn't imagine it.

"Husband, I'm here to save you, wake up... woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo..." Halfway through her words, she couldn't help crying out of distress.

At this moment, the motionless person on the ground suddenly opened his mouth.

Li Ying was taken aback: "Husband, are you awake?"

Seeing Xiao Lian struggling to make a low voice with his throat, Li Ying put his ear to his mouth, barely hearing what he said.

Xiao Lian said:
"Yingying, don't cry."

The moment he heard what Xiao Lian was saying, Li Ying's tears fell silently on his face, but Xiao Lian couldn't feel it anymore.

After saying the last four words, he completely lost consciousness and fell into the boundless darkness.

Li Ying panicked, she shook Xiao Lian's body, and kept calling: "Husband, husband!"

"Sister!" Li Xuan pulled Li Ying back, "Brother-in-law was seriously injured, we need to take him back quickly."

"Yes, yes, yes." The bewildered Li Ying regained her senses, and she stretched out her hand to check Xiao Lian's breath. Although it was very faint, there was still a trace of breath.

"Ten of you take turns to carry the general. Remember, you must walk steadily."

"Yes."

It took a group of people an unknown amount of time to walk out of the dark and boundless valley. When Li Ying saw the sunlight outside again, he was so stabbed that he couldn't open his eyes for a long time.

"Princess, what shall we do now?"

They are now in the territory of Dajin, Xiao Lian's current situation, it is impossible to ride a horse, only a carriage.

But where could they find a carriage?

At this time, the enthusiastic Dajin people helped a lot.The villagers in the village where they stayed heard that Master Yiyuan had rescued a seriously injured man and needed to be sent back to Daling for treatment. However, when there was no carriage, several carpenters in the village volunteered.

"Master, let's make one for you!"

"This... can it work?" Master Yiyuan looked at the dying prince with some embarrassment.

"Give us a little time, we can do it!"

When Li Ying watched a simple but comfortable carriage appear in front of her, she thought she was dreaming.

"How about it? It's not bad." Several carpenters said with pride.

Li Ying was very grateful, and wanted to reward them with a lot of money, but they all declined.

"You don't have to be polite!"

When passing the border, a few local villagers even took the initiative to cover for them, allowing them to escape the patrol of Dajin soldiers.

Li Ying finally brought Xiao Lian back to Da Ling's land safely.

Xiao Lian's injury was serious, they couldn't go any farther, and Li Ying landed in Shaluo City, the most urgent thing is to heal Xiao Lian's injury.

The doctors in Shaluo City could only simply bandage Xiao Lian. Although they prescribed several medicines, Xiao Lian couldn't even drink it.

He has been unconscious for a long time.

Li Ying pinned all her hopes on Duan Yanlin, at this moment she was anxiously waiting for Li Xuan who would return to Yibei City to pick up Duan Yanlin.

"Sister! The Imperial Physician Duan is here!" Li Xuan hurriedly opened the door and brought Duan Yanlin in.

"Where is the prince?" Duan Yanlin asked anxiously, and Li Ying took him into Xiao Lian's ward.

"This...how did you get hurt like this?" Duan Yanlin couldn't believe it when he saw Xiao Lian's horrific injury.

"My lord, he fell from the top of Cangshan Mountain into the Beiyuan River at the bottom. He was probably shot by an arrow by the pursuers on the way down the cliff. In order to avoid the search of the pursuers, he insisted on walking to the upper reaches of the Beiyuan River with his wound. , hid there for days without food or drink until we found him."

Duan Yanlin thought it was a miracle that Xiao Lian survived.

He carefully treated Xiao Lian's wound from the arrow, then he sighed deeply and said, "Whether the prince can survive now depends entirely on himself."

"What does Imperial Physician Duan mean by this?"

"My lord, his wound is actually not deep, but because of the time, the infection caused by the wound caused him to have a high fever, and now he can't drink the decoction, so I can only give him a medicated bath.

But to be honest, these can only play an auxiliary role. Whether it can reduce the fever depends on the prince himself. "

Li Ying glanced at the unconscious Xiao Lian, and held his hand tightly.

You must, must wake up.
