The concubine is enchanting: the favorite princess

Chapter 760 The Situation Is Difficult
Feng Yao never listened to persuasion.But now that Xiaosi comforted her, she just smiled bitterly.Then he said: "Is Nannan okay? If Junqing makes any mistakes, I can't explain to you and Nannan."

Xiaosi bowed his head in silence for a while, and said: "Xiaosi knows how master feels towards elder brother, it may be God's will that elder brother is in danger this time, master doesn't need to blame himself. It is Mr. Mo who saved his life, and Xiaosi is also very grateful."

"Then let's go. I hope that both of them will be safe and sound." Feng Yao sighed, the hope in his heart was indeed squeezed a little bit and became smaller.

At this time, the street was silent, only the white lanterns flickering with obscure light and shadows in the cold wind, making the entire capital street look foresty.

Xiao Si first brought Feng Yao to the Yongqing River.This is the last section of the Yongqing River flowing through the capital, and it is also the widest section of the river, far away from the stone bridge where Feng Yao used to go.Thinking about half a mile to the north, there is a dark, towering city wall. From here, the Yongqing River flows out of the city, merges into the moat, and then hides underground, becoming an underground dark river.

Therefore, if you fall into the water here, it is naturally dangerous.And once no one can be found in the moat outside the city, it will be brought into the underground undercurrent, which is bound to be bad luck.

As soon as Feng Yao saw the light of the torch ahead, he hurried over.Before I got close, I heard the sound of "bang bang", and I could see ice chips and water splashing on the river surface.

"Who is here? Your Highness!" A questioning male voice sounded, and seeing Feng Yao, he held a torch and came to greet him.

Feng Yao responded, and hurried to the river without even seeing who came to meet him.

"Master, be careful." Xiao Si followed closely, protecting each other, preventing Feng Yao from falling when he stepped on a piece of ice.

Feng Yao came to the river and looked down, his heart was already desolate, and the apex of his heart ached fiercely.

I saw that the ice on the river had already frozen over half a foot thick.At this time, although a large piece had been smashed out by picks and chisels, the ice surface was all over the entire river, and under the ice surface was the swiftly flowing river water.If someone falls into it, if they are washed under the ice, even if they can swim, how can they float up to take a breath with the ice blocking them?

Feng Yao anxiously asked: "Where did they fall into the water?"

The people who came to respond immediately pointed to the river bank on Fengyao's right and said, "There are bloodstains over there. When we arrived, there was still a big hole in the ice, but there was no one there."

Feng Yao's heart trembled when he heard that, he personally took a torch and held it up, looking for it in the direction the man pointed.After walking a few steps, I saw a bright red spot on the snow mixed with ice debris, which was the trace of blood that was frozen on it after dripping.

The frozen blood would not change to dark brown, but at this time it was even more glaring scarlet when illuminated by the flames, and Feng Yao's heart ached so much that he was torn.

Looking at the river again, he realized that the ice hole that Mo Li and Su Junqing made when they fell into the water was no longer visible.The broken ice surface around was full of floating ice blocks. A dozen or so soldiers had blue lips and gray complexions from the cold, and they were still groping in the water, breaking open and looking for them from time to time.

Although Feng Yao was anxious about Moli and Su Junqing's news, he was not to the point of losing his mind and caring about human life.Seeing that the soldiers were working so hard, he hurriedly ordered: "Don't let anyone get hurt again, light a bonfire by the river, and cook more ginger soup to keep them out of the cold. I will send more people to take turns to go into the water."

He then said loudly to the soldiers in the river: "I know that you have worked hard, but the fact that human life is at stake and saving lives is urgent, even if two ordinary people are in distress, they should not be ignored, let alone the two who fell into the water. The benefactor of the palace. Regardless of whether you find the whereabouts or not, as long as you work hard, the palace will credit you with credit."

In fact, even if Feng Yao didn't say these words, those soldiers would still obey orders.But now that the new emperor came to ask in person, and with the promise of merit, everyone's hearts naturally opened up, and they didn't feel so difficult at once.Qi Qi shouted "Long live" and thanked En.

Feng Yao asked Xiao Si again: "Is the situation outside the city the same?"

Xiaosi nodded: "It's the same." After a pause, he persuaded in a tactful manner: "Lezi and Aya went to find it in person outside the city, master should be relieved. But there should be a concern. I'm afraid it's not easy to find someone."

Why doesn't Feng Yao know that it's not easy to find someone?I'm afraid it's not easy to find the corpse.But how could she just give up?

"Let's go, let's go outside the city to have a look." Feng Yao shook his head, not thinking about whether he could find it, or whether what he found was dead or alive, he just wanted to know more about the situation, so that he could be more clear in his heart.

Xiao Si had no choice but to persuade Feng Yao not to stop, so he still led the way.

Before Feng Yao ordered Meng Zhuang to close the city gate, but he never opened it again.Lezi and the others also left the city with Feng Yao's order.

Now that Feng Yao went out of the city in person, he opened the city gate temporarily.In case of any change, Feng Yao ordered that after they left the city, the four gates would remain closed, and no one else could enter or leave at will.

Xiao Si led Feng Yao to go to the north gate, when he went out of the city gate, he saw torches shining around the moat, and the sound of chisels and picks breaking through the ice could be heard endlessly.The scene is far hotter than in the city.

Feng Yao walked to a place where the torches were densely packed, presumably that was the focus of the search.When they got close, the people around didn't notice, and they were still working nervously.

Feng Yao didn't ask any questions immediately, but just looked into the moat.I saw more than a hundred people breaking the ice in the glacier, and kept diving into the water to search.

There was a "crash", followed by another loud sneeze.One of them came up to the surface and spat out the water in his mouth, panting heavily.When Feng Yao saw it, it was Aya.

At this time, Aya's complexion was already blue, and his lips were purple. A puff of water vapor emerged from his hair when he came out of the water, but when the water vapor met the cold air, a layer of ice formed on his hair and eyebrows.

"Aya, come up quickly." Feng Yao couldn't help but speak, and stepped forward to wave to Aya in the water.

She could see that Aya definitely didn't just stand on the shore to instruct others, but went into the water himself, and the search time was much longer than others, otherwise, with his internal strength and cultivation base, he wouldn't be so cold that his face became dizzy. green.

Aya seemed to be taken aback when she heard Feng Yao's voice, and then a flash of light flashed in her eyes.Quickly swam to the shore from the water, and kneeled directly in front of Feng Yao after landing: "I have seen the empress."

At this time, other people also reacted.Qiqi followed Aya and knelt down on the ground.

Feng Yao hurriedly stretched out his hands to help Aya up, letting everyone flatten.Seeing that even the clothes on Aya's body were covered with a thin layer of ice, he hurriedly took off his mink fur cloak and put it on Aya's body.
