Chapter 325 They Are Going Out of the City
Changying twirled her fingers, Zixiang knew the place where her carriage fell off the cliff, since Ling Yan had been looking for her in Tongzhou for several days, he should at least search along the route where she fell off the cliff.

Although she didn't remember how far she had taken Yang Su, Ling Yan should have known about the fight at the place where she fell off the cliff.

Normally, Ling Yan should investigate the origin of that group of people, so did he find out?
"Girl, my aunt has sent someone a present."

Just as he was talking, Zi Xiang brought in the maids with many packages with festive paper-cuts on them.

"What gift?" Changying stood up.

He Lu, who was walking at the end, smiled and blessed her, and said: "If you go back to the girl, it is a meeting gift for the girl from the Ji family. What the in-laws mean is that the young masters in the mansion have a meeting gift, so you can do it too, girl." Gotta have one."

Changying felt apologetic, everyone knew that she had left the Ling family, and she didn't go to the wedding banquet yesterday, but the Ji family still prepared a gift for her, which meant that she was still treated as a girl from the Ling family.

And if it wasn't for my aunt's will, the Ji family wouldn't have made their own decisions.

Thinking about it made me feel even more guilty, I couldn't sit still anymore, looked at Ling Yuan and said, "How should I thank you?"

Ling Yuan got up: "I'm going back home, I'll speak for you."

Changying nodded.He asked him to wait again, went back to the room and took the mink fur, and said to him: "The prince gave it to me, you can help me take it back and make a dress for my aunt. I will ask Zhiyuan to come out at Ji's house some other day." Thanks."

Ling Yuan agreed.

Back at the mansion, Mrs. Ling was busy with the maids sorting out the leftovers after the wedding banquet, collecting the mink fur, so she also asked about Changying.

Ling Yuan sat down while talking, recalled what was discussed before, and looked at Mrs. Ling: "I was in Huzhou at the beginning, and I wrote a letter to my mother and asked her to check my father's study. Didn't I find anything?"

Madam Ling paused for a moment, then raised her head and said, "Of course."

Ling Yuan asked again: "Then what did my father find out during the time when Ling Dang disappeared?"

Mrs. Ling stood still for a moment, then helped the table and sat down: "The night the bell disappeared, your father took people to Tongzhou. It took several days to go there. I can't ask in detail how to find out.

"But according to the people who went with them, they searched separately within a radius of a hundred miles of the accident site, but they didn't find any trace. But—"

"But what?"

Madam Ling breathed in slowly, and said: "Later, he went there again, probably a few days before the news of Ling Dang's return, I can't tell exactly how many days, I was also ill and confused during that time, But I remember he did.

"Because he just finished feeding me the medicine the night before I went. Originally, he said he was going to sit at Feng's house, but ended up going to Tongzhou for some reason."

Ling Yuan paused: "How many days have you been there this time? What's the result?"

Madam Ling supported the edge of the table, and said quietly: "I've been there for two or three days, but of course there is no result."

"Did he say anything to you when he came back?"

"No." Madam Ling shook her head, "If there is a clue, I will definitely remember it."

Ling Yuan frowned and didn't ask any more questions.

……

Changying listened to Ling Yuan's words in the yamen in the next afternoon and got the result.

"A hundred miles in radius?" Locking on this key, Changying asked, "Although I don't remember the exact route, but according to the situation at that time, it was impossible for me to walk out of the hundred miles with the seriously injured prince. How could he not find me?"

The point is that there were still many people watching in secret at the bottom of the mountain. Her falling off the cliff was not something that needed to be covered up. Ling Yan would certainly not conceal his identity as Marquis Wu Ning to search, so if he searched for a hundred miles, Didn't you find the people under the mountain?

"Go and ask him first!" Ling Yuan got up.

Yang Su was in the Wucheng yamen, and after hearing their intentions, he also felt strange: "I was seriously injured at the time, and I couldn't walk very smoothly. There may be tens of miles, but it is definitely not a hundred miles away.

"You have to know that the territory of Tongzhou is only that big in total, there is no reason."

Changying looked at the sky and said, "Are you free next afternoon? Why don't we go to Tongzhou right now?"

Yang Su thought about it, handed over the official duties to Xie Peng, and then got up: "Let's go."

I happened to meet Fu Rong and Feng Shaokang who were coming together, and asked them, "Where are you going?"

Yang Su stopped and smiled: "I have something to do in the south of the city, do you have something to do?"

"It's nothing, I'm passing by to ask for a cup of tea." Feng Shaokang said, and urged: "If you have something to do, go quickly, and we will meet again later."

Yang Su was also polite, and walked first.

Feng Shaokang looked at their backs: "In such a hurry, what happened to the south of the city, is it worth alerting these people?"

Fu Rong looked at it for a while, then looked back and said: "I'm afraid I'm not going to the south of the city. The prince is riding this horse today. There is no need for such a horse in the city. I'm afraid it's going out of the city."

Feng Shaokang turned his head sideways: "You pay attention to what kind of horse the prince rides every day?"

"The last time he went to Jishuitan he rode this horse." Fu Rong said with a smile.After speaking, he looked at the sky and said: "Not much to say, I also promised to bring some snacks to our old lady."

The streets were divided, Feng Shaokang went straight to the mansion, Fu Rong went to the dim sum shop, weighed two catties of soft dim sum and went back home.

The noon sun turned the carriage into a gloomy shadow, stuck to the ground like a large moving cloak.

... The distance to Tongzhou is relatively short, but only a few tens of miles.

Galloping all the way, he entered the boundary of Tongzhou in less than an hour.

After traveling along the path for more than ten miles, I finally stopped at the foot of a mountain.

"This is the only way to go to the capital." Changying identified it carefully, turned around and looked around, and then her eyes fell on a bend on the mountainside: "This is where I got into a fight. If I'm not mistaken, there is The place where we fell off the cliff!"

Yang Su couldn't see things back then, so he could only use Changying to identify the position first.He handed the whip to Tong Qi and walked up.

Changying followed up the mountain, to the place where she fell off the cliff.

The mountain itself is not very high. Looking down from where we stand, it is only a few feet. However, because the bottom is a jungle, and the depth is unknown, it is more risky to jump directly.

But in the past, the trees were not so tall, and they fell accidentally, so naturally they couldn't control so much.

Yang Su closed his eyes and took a few steps sideways, then vertically, opened his eyes and said, "The territory is the same size as when I first faced the enemy, so it should be here!"

Ling Yuan looked ahead for a while, then found a long and thin tree trunk and cut it off. The trunk plunged obliquely into the cliff, and then used his strength to descend to the bottom of the cliff. He raised his head and said to them, "You can go down!"

Changying had lost her memory so far, and she and Yang Su went down to the bottom of the cliff one after another, and then Yang Su used his memory to identify the direction and lead the way forward.

After leaving the jungle, they stopped and walked all the way, and waited until Tong Qi and the others led the horses to meet up, then drove the horses for another half an hour, and finally arrived at the foot of the highest mountain.

This mountain is not only high, but also very steep. It is covered with dense trees, and there are stone walls in the middle.

"It's almost here. Go up the mountain and have a look." Yang Su greeted, still walking slowly to lead the way.
