Chapter 221 Going to Jingxiang

After daybreak, Yu Lang led everyone to search twice more, but still failed.

"You can't see people alive, but you can't see corpses after death? Did the young general just disappear like that?" How weird!When Shen Congxi encountered this situation, he was helpless.

He finally decided: "Yu Lang, I'll leave it to you. You can expand the scope of the search. I'll go back to the town first and let He Jian and Yang Yong explore the news in the camp. I'd better pass the news back to the capital to see the prince. How to say."

Yu Lang, who was sitting on the ground dejectedly, nodded. He had heard when he was a child that if you jump off the cliff, you will fly to the sky and become a god. But since he killed the first person on the battlefield, he no longer believes in this world. There is a fairy.Could it be that the young general really became a god?

Shen Congxi returned to the town and asked the remaining soldiers to rush back to the camp to report the news, while he quickly contacted the prince.

In the East Palace, the prince and his wife soon received this strange news.

"What? My brother is missing?" Haitang was stunned for a moment, unable to believe his ears, and asked again: "Is there a pool under the cliff? Is there a river?"

"Yu Lang and the others went down to the bottom of the cliff and searched. There was no water below." Xie Ruitang couldn't believe it either. A big living person and a big living horse disappeared together.

"Will it hang on the tree?" Haitang asked again blankly.She couldn't imagine what kind of cliff would make a person disappear when he fell.

"With a man and a horse hanging on a tree, how can you not see such a big man?" Xie Ruitang also asked this question, but he denied it.

"That means you can't see people alive, and you can't see corpses after death?" Haitang was about to cry: "This doesn't make sense! The cliff must also be reasonable."

Xie Ruitang hugged Haitang and comforted her and said, "I hid this from your father and your sister-in-law in advance. Anyway, the army's battle report has not arrived yet, and Cong Xi and Yu Lang are still looking for it. They will always find it!" Yes, no matter it is Whether it's a living person or a corpse, it should always be found.

"I want to go find him too!" Haitang put her arms around Xie Ruitang's neck and rubbed his face: "I am familiar with the mountainous area and I want to go find my brother. If I don't go in person, I feel uneasy. My father only has my brother. a son."

Xie Ruitang deliberately avoided Cao Baoli during this time and did not go to court.He also wanted to visit the place where the refugees rebelled, not to mention that he had promised Haitang that his uncle would come back safely.Now that something happened to his brother-in-law, he couldn't pretend that he didn't know and just stood by.

"Okay, we will set off tomorrow, and you go and prepare. I will write a memorial and inform my father." Behead first and then memorial, Xie Ruitan thought, this is the best way.After writing the memorial, he also left a note for his mother and concubine, telling Chang Le to send it to Concubine Ji after he and Haitang left.

After hearing Xie Ruitang's words, Haitang jumped up quickly, took Shuang'er and Ji'er and ran to their small pharmacy.Liuying also quickly went to pack the clothes of the prince and the princess.Xie Ruitang left the palace and went to the prince's residence.

"Are you going to find Han Bai?" Yan Shi asked as soon as he entered the door, with Sun Yanxi and Zhao Muche following him.They were all extremely surprised when they received the oral message from the guards of the Prince's Mansion.Cheng Hanbai disappeared in Hubei, and now the prince and princess have to travel thousands of miles to find him!

Xie Ruitang nodded and said: "Han Bai is a very important person to Haitang. He is also a brother who lives and dies with me. I cannot ignore it. In addition, with the current situation in the capital, I am It is better to stay away for a period of time, and wait for the conflicts to brew and ferment before they can break through the contradictions."

"Then I'll go with you." Yan Shishi said with a smile, "I also want to see what this cliff that disappears after jumping off looks like."

Xie Ruitang laughed dumbly and said: "You are an official now, how can you just leave? You don't want to defend the capital anymore? It is a capital crime to leave the capital without permission."

"What's the point? I'm willing to defend the capital with you. The capital without you will be like a piece of grass to me." Yan Shiyi said nonchalantly: "If you think it's necessary, at most you can take a sick leave." Zhao Muzhe hurriedly said: " Then I’ll take a sick leave too.”

"You guard the palace for me. It's not like I'm going and won't come back! What are you trying to do?" Xie Ruitang rolled his eyes at him and said, "I'm not in the palace, Qinghe Palace, you have to guard it for me .”

"Yes, we can't all go." Sun Yanxi also said: "Especially when the prince is away, we have to guard and not let Cao Baoli turn the world upside down. We also have to be careful, what kind of tricks will King Kang do when the prince is away."

"Well, if you have anything to do, please discuss it with the Crown Prince and Prince Cheng. It will be convenient for them to enter and leave the palace, and they can take care of Mu Zhe." Xie Ruitang nodded and said, "Haitang, Shiyi and I will go there. No matter what, I will take Han Bai Get it back. Let the prince hide this matter from the Cheng family, especially Qingyao."

Several people discussed it, and the prince hurried back to the East Palace.

Early the next morning, the prince and princess left the palace in a carriage. Yan Shiyi was already waiting for them at the prince's residence, so the three of them, along with four guards and Shuang'er, set off to face the sun.It wasn't until they left the capital that the Prince's Mansion submitted the memorial.

Ling Yun was driving the car, and Ling Shuang and his brother were sitting side by side on the shaft of the car. Ling Shuang saw the Crown Princess looking so sleepy last night and felt uncomfortable. She looked at Ling Yun and said, "Brother, if you disappear, I will definitely do the same." Look for you."

Ling Yun quickly spat on the ground and whispered: "Bah! Childish talk! How could anyone curse his own brother like this?" It wasn't like he had disappeared before, so Ling Yun didn't want to do it again.That time he was kidnapped by Prince Qing, and it was the Crown Princess who rescued him from Licun. He believed that the Crown Princess would definitely rescue the Major General this time.

Haitang in the car was leaning in Xie Ruitang's arms, closing her eyes and concentrating, but accidentally let a tear roll down.Xie Ruitang lowered his head and kissed away the teardrop, and said softly: "As long as I am here, you will find her." He found that Haitang had been particularly sentimental recently, and he would not persuade others, so he only held Haitang tightly in his arms.

Several people did not change horses, so they traveled during the day and stayed at night.We walked for several days before entering Hubei.Along the way, the prince deliberately bickered with Yan Shishi in front of Haitang, and the two chatted about each other's childhood, just to make Haitang smile.How could Haitang not understand?You just have to cheer up, otherwise the prince will worry.

Ling Shuang took out a few clever hidden weapons and distributed them to everyone. This was specially made by Feng Mingze after the incident of falling into the water.Because it is inconvenient to carry weapons in some situations, concealed weapons are easy to carry with you.

"Even me?" Yan Shiyi smiled and said, "What is this silver box?"

"This is the legendary Heavy Rain Pear Blossom Needle." Haitang explained with a smile: "Mingze and Tang Yu studied for a long time and improved the old drawings left by the Tang Sect before restoring them. Only two were made in total. , each one contains 49 needles, but unfortunately they can only be used once, and they are useless after they are distributed."

"It's useful! At least it can be exchanged for silver envoys!" Yan Shishi pointed at the patterns on the box and smiled, "Tsk tsk tsk, what kind of flowers do you want to carve for a one-time thing? The Tang Sect is full of coquettishness."

Xie Ruitang snatched it up and stuffed it into Haitang's hand: "Hey, let's go to waste. You don't know martial arts, so keep it for yourself."

Just as he was talking, the waiter knocked on the door and came in. He put down the teapot and kindly reminded them: "Sir, there have been a lot of refugees recently, and there is a lot of chaos everywhere. Rich young ladies like you are their targets for robbery. How can you Be careful and close the doors and windows when sleeping at night."

Sure enough, two thieves came in the evening, but their martial arts skills were mediocre. Ling Feng took away their tools and found out at first glance that they were using smoke to confuse people and then break into houses and rob them.

The prince shook his head and said: "There are more refugees and more people who are not under the jurisdiction of the government. Everyone needs to eat. It's strange that public security can be better."
