With a dignified expression, Jun Lixuan carefully searched around the city, and then went to the battlefield just now, for fear that she might have missed it. But Ling Qiyang's figure never entered his eyes.
At this time, Jun Lixuan happened to see Mingli who looked anxious and seemed to be looking for someone. Jun Lixuan immediately rode forward.
Seeing Jun Lixuan, Ming Li immediately said: "My lord, have you seen the princess?"
Jun Lixuan frowned, and asked: "Didn't I tell you to follow the princess? Why did you disappear?"
"It's not good to be small." Mingli said in a panic: "After you attacked Fengzhou City, the military doctors also started to rescue the wounded along the way. The princess also went with her. I followed the princess, but there was not enough white cloth on the way Yes, the princess asked me to get it. I was worried at first, but at that time there were other military doctors with the princess, and the princess told me not to worry. Who knew that when I came back with the white cloth, the princess disappeared. Those military doctors said that they would rescue them separately People, I didn't pay attention at all." Ming Li's eyes were red with anxiety.
Jun Lixuan thought about it silently, to the extent that Ling Qiyang cared about him, she would never run around without him. If he really disappeared, he was probably taken hostage. But just now such a chaotic ending to save people, who would have noticed this matter
"It's all the fault of the young one. When the concubine comes back, the young one is willing to be punished." From the bottom of her heart, the concubine treats him really well, and she never orders him to do this or that with arrogance, nor does she make things difficult for him.
Jun Lixuan looked at the child who died for him in the previous life, and said, "I can't blame you entirely. If I could capture Fengzhou City earlier, Senior Gu Yao wouldn't have to help. With him watching Qiyang, It should be fine."
Because the news that Emperor Chize was about to conquer the city came suddenly, so he advanced the plan for the siege. Ling Hongzhi, who was supposed to stay behind to protect Ling Qiyang, was also sent to the battlefield, so he was caught off guard.
"My lord, don't say that." Ming Li whispered.
"It's important to find the princess now. I will continue to stay here to look for it. You go to Fengzhou City and inform Senior Gu Yao and Deputy General Ling. They know what to do." Jun Lijing ordered.
"Yes, I'll go now, little one." Ming Li pulled a horse that had been abandoned on the battlefield, and ran quickly towards Fengzhou City.
At the same time, on a hill not far from the battlefield, Ling Qiyang was sitting at the entrance of a small cave with his hands and feet tied. This hill is lush with trees, forming a good cover, and it is difficult to find it unless someone is familiar with mountain roads.
A blue-clothed man came out of the cave. His appearance was dignified, rather refined, and the wisdom in his eyes lacked the poetic charm of a scholar, making him look ambitious.
The man sized up Ling Qiyang for a moment, then cupped his hands and said, "I've heard about Princess Lin's name for a long time, and it's fate to meet you today."
"Fate?" Ling Qiyang sneered, "If you meet by chance, you can say it's fate. But today you were the one who kidnapped me, so you should go back and read carefully, don't insult the word fate."
The man laughed, and was not dissatisfied with Ling Qiyang's cold words, "I heard that Princess Lin is both talented and beautiful, but it's a pity that she is a man. Hearing what the princess said today, I feel that it is fortunate that the princess is a man. Isn't talent going to be buried?"
"Don't worry about it." He was originally saving people on the battlefield, thinking that this place has been trampled by the Daye army, and there will be no enemy troops, so he didn't care. But he never thought that in the blink of an eye, he was put into a sack and tied up.
"I know that it is really inappropriate to invite the concubine like this. But I have no choice. I want to cooperate with King Lin, but there is no way to ask for a meeting, and it is not convenient to enter and leave the military camp of the Ye Kingdom, so I have to trouble the concubine." The man's face The smile on the face has not diminished.
"Cooperation?" Ling Qiyang frowned.
"Yes. I'm Shan Wenke, King Huai of Chize Kingdom. The current emperor of Chize is my tenth brother, and I'm ranked sixteenth." The man gave his name and said, "It's really helpless to invite the princess here. If I directly Going to the military camp of Ye State, I'm afraid I'll let your lieutenant general cut me down before I go in. Even if I can escape from your lieutenant general's sword, my brother will not let me go. You should also be able to see that I am not good at martial arts Learn. I can barely deal with riding and hunting, but I can’t do anything else.”
"What do you want to cooperate with?" Although Ling Qiyang's hands and feet were tied, he didn't look embarrassed, and the other party barely treated him with courtesy.
Shan Wenke didn't hide anything, and said directly: "I believe you have also heard that my emperor's brother is unkind, punishing veterans, starting wars again, and unpopular with the people. I live under the eyes of my emperor, and I am worried every day. This kind of life is really hard. Presumably Princess Lin has a delicate mind, and she can always be considerate to others."
"So?" Ling Qiyang asked simply, without answering his words.
"Do you know the only way to make yourself no longer live in anxiety?" Shan Wenke approached and whispered: "That is to replace it."
Ling Qiyang didn't speak, and didn't continue to ask.
Seeing his silence, Shan Wenke said: "Maybe the princess is not interested in this. It's okay, just give me a chance to talk to King Lin. If King Lin is unwilling to agree, then I can only I can think of another way."
"What do you want?" It's not that Ling Qiyang is not interested in his proposal, it's just that showing too much interest will make the other party take the top spot, and it will be difficult to negotiate terms.
"It's very simple. The princess only needs to write a letter to the prince, and ask the prince to meet in the other courtyard." Shan Wenke waved his hand, and his subordinates brought a low table with pens, ink and paper on it.
"Your other courtyard?" Ling Qiyang obviously didn't intend to write, "If you ambushed someone there, wouldn't I become your accomplice?"
Shan Wenke laughed loudly, "What Princess Lin said is that I didn't think carefully. Why don't you decide the place?"
"I'm not familiar with this place, so how do I know where to settle?" Ling Qiyang paused, and continued: "Why don't you send me back to the barracks, the Chize people's army has already been driven out of Fengzhou City, so you can No one will reach the ears of Emperor Chi Ze when he enters the barracks."
Shan Wenke shook his head, "No. Lord Lin must be looking for you crazy now. If I go now, he will definitely cut off my head without asking more questions. For such a dangerous thing, forget it. Even if I If you want to go to the Ye State military camp, you have to wait for King Lin to extinguish the fire."
Ling Qiyang frowned, thought for a while, and said, "Would you like someone to invite the prince here?"
"Inappropriate." Shan Wenke objected again, "This is my hiding place, and even the emperor doesn't know about it. If I let King Lin come, I will have concerns if I want to hide here in the future."
Neither this nor that. Ling Qiyang simply stopped talking. Anyway, he had an intuition that Jun Lixuan would definitely come to save him, and Master would definitely find a way to find him.
Seeing that he stopped talking, Shan Wenke felt a little helpless. He couldn't force him, so he had to ask someone to slice the freshly roasted pheasant into pieces, and let Ling Qiyang fill his stomach first.
"It's all wild game from the mountains, which you can't usually eat. It's no worse than the cooks in the palace. Try it. Don't see Lord Lin, he said I abused you." Shan Wenke laughed.
Looking at the golden roasted chicken, Ling Qiyang suddenly remembered what Jun Lixuan said before, when the military stabilized, he would take him out to hunt wild game. It made Ling Qiyang lose his appetite at the moment.
"Don't like it?" Shan Wenke raised his eyebrows, he thought these things looked good, and it was already noon, it was impossible for Ling Qiyang not to be hungry.
"Send me back." Ling Qiyang's tone was completely irresistible, thinking that Jun Lixuan would be anxious for him, he couldn't stay for a moment.
"Wait, wait..." Shan Wenke looked at the sky and made no further moves.
Jun Lixuan, who was still searching, found Ling Qiyang's medicine box lying there in a distant place, from which he could conclude that Ling Qiyang was indeed kidnapped. Fortunately, there was no blood on the medicine box, which could make him feel more at ease for the time being.
He opened the medicine and wanted to look at the medicine bottle inside, but luckily it wasn't broken, otherwise Ling Qiyang would be busy again when he came back. During the inspection, Jun Lixuan found the kit in the medicine box. At this time, he didn't care about so much, and directly opened two kits.
The note in the kit embroidered with "Two" reads: If Qiyang is missing, don't worry, and look at the surrounding terrain and mountains.
Jun Lixuan frowned, and immediately couldn't wait to check the third kit, which said: Looking for a partner, you might as well consider one or two. If you take the initiative, you can raise conditions.
Although he didn't talk much, Jun Lixuan clenched the brocade bag in his hand, unable to hide his excitement. He didn't know how his father guessed that Ling Qiyang might be missing, but those words did comfort him a lot.
Looking around, he saw a hill not far away. At this time, Gu Yao and Ling Hongzhi also rushed over.
Gu Yao asked in a cold voice: "What's going on?" He saw that the city gate was being attacked and opened, and he knew it was not appropriate to fight for a long time, so he came to help. But he didn't want to help Jun Lixuan, but lost his apprentice.
"I've sent people to look for it inside and outside the city. If there's any news, I'll use a loud arrow as a sign." Ling Hongzhi frowned.
Jun Lixuan kept his eyes on the mountain in front of him, told how Ling Qiyang disappeared, and finally handed the two kits to Gu Yao.
Gu Yao looked at the words on the note, and his expression softened a lot, "His father gave it to you?"
"Yes. Daddy is wise, and Li Xuan admires him." Jun Lixuan said.
Gu Yao sighed, took out a small bamboo tube that he carried with him, and released a black beetle the size of a fingernail, nothing special.
"What is this?" Jun Lixuan asked.
"In the past few days, I tried a medicine powder on Qiyang. If nothing goes wrong, this little thing can find him by smell." Gu Yao said.
The beetle circled Gu Yao twice, and finally landed on his shoulder. Gu Yao took out the powder, pinched a little and sprinkled it on the beetle. The beetle seemed to understand what he meant, hovered in the air for a while, and then flew towards the hill.
Jun Lixuan and Gu Yao hurriedly followed, and before leaving, Jun Lixuan asked Ling Hongzhi to call back all the people who were looking for Ling Qiyang, so that there was no need to mobilize the crowd.
Beetles will not find the way people walk, they can only fly directly according to the smell. The advantage of this is that you won't get lost in the unfamiliar forest, but the inconvenience is that the two need light work to chase.
Two moments later, the beetle landed on a tree. Jun Lixuan and Gu Yao, who followed, also vaguely heard some noises, jumped up and hid in the tree. Looking down, he saw the cave covered by dense forest and Ling Qiyang sitting in front of the cave.
After Shan Wenke said to wait, Ling Qiyang didn't say a word to him again, and Shan Wenke was also a little worried, but there was nothing he could do.
"It's almost noon, aren't you hungry?" Shan Wenke said, "Even if you don't eat, at least drink some water." He said and handed the teacup filled with water to Ling Qiyang's mouth. It wasn't that he wanted to take advantage of something, but since he heard that Princess Lin was quite good at medicine, he was worried that if Ling Qiyang's hands were loosened, Ling Qiyang would take advantage of him and sprinkle some poison, wouldn't it be a big loss
Ling Qiyang turned his head simply, not appreciative at all.
But seeing all this, Jun Lixuan's eyes turned red - what? He also dared to take advantage of his wife.
Seeing this, Jun Lixuan took advantage of the momentum and flew in front of Ling Qiyang. Before the guards beside him could react in time, he kicked Shan Wenke aside...

Shan Wenke: "Shan" is pronounced "shan" four times.
