The lucky little prince's doting wife

The sixth brother-in-law and the eighth brother-in-law both advised Lin Deyi to rest and recuperate and wait for good news, but the first news that came back from the mountains was not good news.

The people sent by Old Madam Jiao to follow Xiao Zhen brought back the news that they had lost any trace of Xiao Zhen.

"We only know that he took the tiger and walked along a river in the mountains from north to south," said Old Madam Jiao to her sixth and eighth brothers-in-law, as well as Xie Hu's mother, who came to see her and happened to encounter this incident.

The sixth brother-in-law asked, "Then how did you get lost?"

A man and a tiger are walking along the river, so why don't you walk along the river too? Is that difficult?

Old Madam Jiao looked at the person who came back with the news.

This young man named Zhang Ze was originally a night ranger in the Liaodong Army, or a scout. In modern times, he would be a scout. When it comes to tracking, Zhang Ze is an expert among experts.

Old Madam Jiao was also surprised. Xiao Zhen was so powerful that even the most powerful scout in their Liaodong army couldn't do anything to him?
"The tiger he raised was so big," the eighth brother-in-law also said, "could it suddenly disappear?"

It's no wonder that the eighth brother-in-law doubted Zhang Ze. Even if Uncle Xiao was an extremely skilled Qinggong master, what about the tiger Aju? Could it fly or burrow underground? It couldn't be that Xiao Zhen carried it and ran away, right?
Zhang Ze's forehead was covered with sweat and he almost knelt down to reply, "They went into the water, and we chased them into an underground culvert, but there were nine branching roads in the culvert, and we got lost." Zhang Ze said.

"You can't blame them for this," the eighth brother-in-law said something fair to Zhang Ze and his friends.

Zhang Ze didn't dare to explain for himself and his brothers at first, but after hearing what his eighth brother-in-law said, he boldly said, "The entrance to the culvert is underwater. There is a place to walk inside the culvert, but there is no light."

These days, it was the Sixth Brother-in-law who led people to search for people in the mountains, so Old Lady Jiao asked the Sixth Brother-in-law: "Have you searched along the river?"

The eighth brother-in-law said to the sixth brother-in-law, "It seems that there is only a river below the cliff in the mountain?"

Sixth brother-in-law: "There is also a river below Shenglong Village, which is the water source of Shenglong Village, over there on the cliff..."

When the Sixth Brother-in-law said this, he stood up suddenly and almost knocked over the chair behind him.

"What have you thought of?" the eighth brother-in-law asked hurriedly.

"The river below the cliff," said the sixth brother-in-law, "at the end of the river is a culvert entrance. I took people there to have a look."

Xie Hu Niang then asked, "So you didn't go into the culvert at that time?"

"There were cat footprints extending from the cliff to the riverside before disappearing. The guards and I were just looking along the river," said the sixth brother-in-law, who became annoyed. "It was after a heavy rain that day, and the river water was surging. The culvert was full of water and we couldn't get in. I thought there was no way there was any living thing in the culvert."

According to normal logic, Xie Jiuhuan couldn't possibly go to such a far place! If he knew that Xie Jiuhuan was in the culvert, Sixth Brother-in-law would have to go into the underground culvert anyway.

"Is it the river under the cliff?" Old Madam Jiao asked Zhang Ze.

Zhang Ze: "We didn't go to the cliff, but looking at the direction of the river, the river must pass by the cliff."

"That's the underground culvert I found," said the sixth brother-in-law.

"What should we do now?" asked Xie Hu Niang.

Madam Jiao said, "Let's have someone wait outside the culvert and see when Xiao Zhen brings Xiao Jiuer out."

But the eighth brother-in-law said, "Xiao Jiuer hasn't come back for such a long time, she must be injured. Uncle said it himself, he doesn't know any medical skills, can we not send someone?"

The Sixth Brother-in-law said, "I'll take some people over there."

The eighth brother-in-law said quickly, "I'll go too. There are only nine forks in the road, right? Zhang Ze and his men are so few in number, so we can just bring more people and search separately."

This is a matter of strength in numbers. If a hundred people are not enough, then use two hundred. If a hundred people are not enough, then they will increase the number to thousands. Now the thing they have the most is manpower.

Madam Jiao thought it was okay, "Give them half of your troops." Madam Jiao said to Xie Hu Niang, "I don't know how Xiao Jiu'er's injury is, let the military doctor go over."

The best doctors in the world for treating injuries are none other than military doctors.

Xie Hu Niang said, "Grandmother, I'll go too." Old Madam Jiao shook her head at Xie Hu Niang, "You have to guard Wuzhou City well, and the inn here, and you can't let your guard down."

Xie Hu Niang wanted to say something, but Old Madam Jiao said, "We can't rely on Xu Yun and his son for safety."

Xie Hu Niang remained silent. There were deputy generals in the army, and she would rather keep these generals there. But Xie Hu Niang trusted herself more.

"Then let's go into the mountains now," the sixth brother-in-law stood up and said respectfully to Madam Jiao.

Madam Jiao nodded and said, "Okay, I'll be here to protect the Fourth Young Master, you don't have to worry."

The sixth brother-in-law and the eighth brother-in-law bowed together.

Madam Jiao reminded them again, "Zhang Ze just said that there is no light in the culvert. You should prepare waterproof fire starters."

"Yes," the sixth brother-in-law responded.

Xie Hu Niang followed her sixth and eighth brothers-in-law out of the house. She was going to mobilize troops for them.

After a while, the front yard and outside the gate of the inn became lively.

Lin Deyi's wounds were hurting at the moment, so he couldn't fall asleep. Hearing the noise outside the house, Lin Deyi asked Mu Dong who was guarding the house.

Mu Dong hurried out to see that the inn was full of soldiers inside and outside. Mu Dong then found his eighth brother-in-law to ask about the situation.

"Let's go pick up Xiao Jiuer," the eighth brother-in-law said to Mu Dong happily, "Tell your young master to stay well in the inn and wait for us to bring Xiao Jiuer back."

"Have you found my fourth young lady?" Mu Dong almost jumped up with joy.

Eighth brother-in-law: "Now that we know where he is, it will be easier to find him. Take good care of your young master and wait for us to come back."

"Yes!" Mu Dong suddenly felt that life had purpose again.

Turning around and running into the inn, then running upstairs, Mu Dong reported the good news to Lin Deyi.

"In a culvert," Mu Dong stood in front of the bed, gesticulating and saying to Lin Deyi, "Master, the fourth young mistress is coming back soon!"

Lin Deyi was overjoyed at first, but soon his heart tightened again and he said, "Then she must be injured."

Mu Dong???

But after a little thought, if the person was fine, would the fourth young lady stay in the underground culvert and not come back? Mu Dong also became anxious along with Lin Deyi, wondering if his fourth young lady was seriously injured?

"Did they bring a doctor?" Lin Deyi asked.

Mu Dong turned and ran, saying, "I'll go ask right away."

Lin Deyi lay on the bed and tried to move his body. The wounds on other places were fine, but the wound on his abdomen was slightly pulled, and the piercing pain spread throughout Lin Deyi's body, making his eyes go black and he almost fainted.

"Master," Mu Dong rushed back and said, "Master Wu and Master Wang have brought a military doctor with them."

Lin Deyi uttered a low "hmm". Apart from this, he could not make any other sound for the time being.

Mu Dong was so excited at the moment that he didn't notice that something was wrong with Lin Deyi. He was still relaying his eighth brother-in-law's words to Lin Deyi, "Master Wang said that if things go well, they will be able to bring the fourth young lady back at dawn," Mu Dong said.

Lin Deyi thought, that’s great, I also need to get better quickly, I can’t let Jiuhuan worry about me.

If the eighth brother-in-law knew Lin Deyi's idea, he would definitely jump up and down. You are embarrassed to let Xiao Jiuer worry about you, but you are embarrassed to make us work hard every day to worry about you? (End of this chapter)
