Qian Jiujiu turned to look at Mu Yexiao: "Husband, lead the way."
Haha! Beibei curled her lips, unable to bear the fact that her mother was addressed as her husband. When she needed help, she was called her husband, and when she had nothing to do, she was called Mu Yexiao. Only her father could spoil her like this.
Mu Yexiao led the way uncomplainingly, and after many twists and turns, the group finally appeared at the underground entrance where they went down in the beginning.
After coming out, Mu Yexiao and Qian Jiujiu looked at each other. The trip down there seemed to take a century, as if there were two worlds separated by this underground.
"Let's go back and rest first. You guys, hide the cave entrance here. There's no need to leave anyone to guard it. By the way, continue looking for Qingyue."
At this time, someone finally remembered Qingyue. Beibei also paused and said, "Isn't Aunt Qingyue in the village? The three of us went in together, but after we got in, because the passage was narrow, we let Aunt Qingyue go back first."
Go back first? That means the three of them were separated. But they disappeared together. What happened to Qingyue
Qian Jiujiu frowned, "But Qingye said that Qingyue disappeared with you, which means that after you separated, Qingyue came out, but didn't go back. Maybe she encountered something after she came out, which caused her not to return to the village?"
Mu Yexiao also spoke up: "I think Qingyue will not give up on Beibei and Jiang Hu. She will probably wait here for them to come out. It's just that they have been waiting for too long. They may have gone back in, or they may have been taken away."
After all, the map came from Tianzhu Palace. Who knows if there is a backup in Tianzhu Palace? Or maybe this treasure map was originally a trap!
From the illusion they came out of, it can be seen that many people died here, so they decided to share it and let the people of the court help them clear the way. This is also very likely. Qian Jiujiu has quietly asked Rabbit to ask Gecko if he saw any fighting.
Soon they got a reply. When the rabbit explained what a fight was, the gecko reported back that there really were people fighting here, and they went out while fighting.
There were traces of fighting here, but because of the search for someone and the continuous snowing, it was destroyed. Now it is difficult to find someone, and I don’t know how Qingyue is doing now
After looking at the status of Beibei and Jiang Hu, Qian Jiujiu decided: "Let's go back and make a decision first. Since there are outsiders here, we can just send people over to search the mountain directly."
There is no other good way at the moment, so let's send troops to search the mountain. According to the cowardly mice in Tianzhu Palace, who can only hide, they must be hiding in these places.
If the army was dispatched here, the village where Jiang Hu's family lived would no longer be able to accommodate them, so the best place would be the hunting ground above. The hunting ground had already been occupied by the royal family, and people had been sent to garrison there.
However, Qian Jiujiu and Mu Yexiao didn’t know who the person sent was. After all, it seemed that the people in this area were sent by Gu Xiangning.
Mu Yexiao looked at everyone and said, "If there are too many people, let's go to the hunting ground on the top of the mountain. Let's go there and take a look at the situation first."
They have been in there for at least two or three days. These guards have been staying in the cave for such a long time that they need to find a place to have a good rest.
So Mu Yexiao led his men up the mountain. Jiang Hu frowned and said, "Your Majesty, you guys go up the mountain. I need to go home. I'm worried about my grandfather and my eldest brother. I'll go back to see them and I'll come up later."
It is human nature to go back to see family. Mu Yexiao is not a cold-blooded person, so he nodded and said, "Okay, then go back and report your safety, and inform Qingye to bring people to the hunting ground on the top of the mountain to meet up."
After that, he asked two guards to escort Jiang Hu back. At Jiang Hu's home, Mr. Jiang sat at the door every day, hoping to see Jiang Hu walking in from the village entrance one day.
The next moment, Jiang Hu came in from the village entrance with two guards. Grandpa Jiang thought he had seen it wrongly and missed Jiang Hu so much that he saw an illusion. He quickly reached out and rubbed his eyes, and kept looking at his eldest grandson's name: "Jiang Tian, Jiang Tian, I see Jiang Hu is back."
Jiang Tian heard his grandfather's voice and ran out of the room to see what was going on. Of course, he saw Jiang Hu coming back and his eyes widened instantly: "Little brother, you're back."
Jiang Hu looked at his grandfather and eldest brother's excited expressions and nodded: "I'm back. I'm sorry for making grandpa and eldest brother worried during this period of time."
Seeing his elder brother's face become thinner, and the flesh on both cheeks that he had worked so hard to build up disappeared after Beibei came, Jiang Hu felt a little guilty. If he had told his family about what he had done, they probably wouldn't be so worried.
No, it will only make you more worried. It is totally unnecessary. Jiang Tian just patted Jiang Hu on the shoulder and said, "It's okay. It's good that you are back. It's good that you are back."
After he finished speaking, he looked behind Jiang Hu and asked in confusion, "Why are you alone? Where's Miss Mu? And her parents, did they find you? It's amazing, so many people have been looking for you for more than a month and couldn't find you, but they found you as soon as they arrived."
Jiang Hu also sighed. If Qian Jiujiu and Mu Yexiao had not arrived in time, he might have lost his life.
"Brother, those are the prince and princess. Beibei is fine, but Aunt Qingyue has not been found yet. So in the next period of time, there may be more people coming and going, including the army. But brother, don't worry, it will not affect the people in the village."
When Jiang Tian heard that the army was coming, he was a little confused. The princess had been found, and the secret guards were used to find the princess, not the army. Why would it take so much effort to find a maid
Jiang Tian's doubts were unconsciously expressed, and Jiang Hu was also stunned, but then he shook his head: "Brother, you don't know, this Aunt Qingyue is different from the others. She was one of the four maids who followed the princess first, and she is very important to the princess."
Is that so? Mr. Jiang was dumbfounded. His grandson was his grandson, but he couldn't understand what they were saying. What about the prince? The princess? How could these big shots come to such a small place
Jiang Hu said this, of course, just to shut Jiang Tian up. In fact, he already knew the purpose of the prince and princess sending troops here. Obviously, these two have ideas about this treasure.
"Grandpa, big brother, I just came back to report that I'm safe. I still have a lot of things to do, so you don't have to worry about me. Just live your life as usual."
Jiang Tian probably guessed that when the prince came, his younger brother would be busy. But he was very proud and patted his younger brother on the shoulder: "It is your honor to follow the prince. Work hard. You are the pride of your elder brother."
Then he turned around and helped Mr. Jiang into the house: "Grandpa, I know you have a lot of questions, just ask me. I will tell you everything I know. My second brother is very busy now. You can see that my second brother is fine. Don't come out to wait in the future. It's easy to get sick..."
After Jiang Hu saw the two people enter the house, he breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and took the two guards to find Qing Ye. After all, he still had to do what Mu Yexiao had ordered.
But at this time Qingye was still shuttling between the mountains and forests. She had been informed of the arrival of Qian Jiujiu and Mu Yexiao, but when she came over, the two had already gone down the tunnel, so she did not see anyone.
At this time, Jiang Hu was going to look for Qing Ye. With someone leading the way, he found Qing Ye quickly. Qing Ye had been looking for someone for many days. His lips were white and his face was pale. He looked at Jiang Hu and his eyes widened instantly: "Jiang Hu, you are out, what about the princess and Qing Yue?"
Jiang Hu looked at Qing Ye's excitement and didn't know what to say. Qing Ye and Qing Yue had a good relationship. They grew up together, trained together, and came to the princess together. They also made the same decision, never marrying and following Qian Jiujiu.
Now Qingye is still standing here, but Qingyue has disappeared. She took a deep breath and looked at Qingye: "Beibei is fine. She followed the prince and princess to the hunting ground on the mountain to rest. I came to inform you and ask you to go up as well."
Qingye frowned: "What about Qingyue?"
Jiang Hu did not hide it, but spoke directly: "Qingyue is really missing. She is not with us, I'm sorry..."
Qingye could understand. No matter what, Qingyue was still a slave, different from Jiang Hu and Beibei. She looked at Jiang Hu and said, "You don't have to apologize. Qingyue's duty is to protect the princess. As long as the princess is okay, I'm glad. As for Qingyue, I believe the master will not give up looking for him."
Thinking that the master asked him to go to the hunting ground on the mountain, he must have discovered something. He looked at Jiang Hu and said, "I'm sorry to trouble President Jiang to make such a trip. Let's go back to find the master now."
Jiang Hu nodded, followed Qing Ye, and walked towards the hunting ground on the mountain.
At this time, Qian Jiujiu and Bei Bei's family had already arrived at the hunting ground with their guards. There were always people coming to the hunting ground. So when such a large group of people suddenly appeared, no one in the hunting ground was surprised, but welcomed them warmly.
"Please wait a moment. I will ask the owner of our hunting ground to come out and see you."
The gatekeeper led them into the hunting ground villa. When they reached the mountain, Mu Yexiao and Qian Jiujiu discovered that in addition to a huge hunting ground, there was also a villa, and these people usually lived in the villa. There were also some houses below the villa, which were used for the soldiers guarding the hunting ground to live in.
Qian Jiujiu suddenly asked, "This place is well built. The man just mentioned the owner instead of the general. What do you think this means?"
