The water volume of the waterfall is very sufficient, and the water flow is very fast. As soon as Lin Chujiu jumped off, he was washed away. Heijiawei chased after him, but he didn't even see a corner of his clothes.
"What should I do?" The two black armored guards looked at each other, neither of them making up their minds for a while.
The armor on them is good, but there is a fatal flaw, that is, it is bulky.
Usually they are used to wearing nothing, but once they get down, the shortcomings of the armor are undoubtedly weak.
It's fine to run a small stream or something, but if they encounter a fast river, they will only have to die if they fall into the water.
"Let's look down the water." Heijiawei thought for a while, but gave up the idea of diving.
As far as their clothes are concerned, when they get into the water, they can only seek death. The current is so fast, after Lin Chujiu fell into the water, he must have drifted away along the current.
"We need to see corpses when we die, and people when we live. We must find people." It's just that this section of the road is a downhill road, very steep, and there are many tributaries. Heijiawei went down the biggest water flow for a long time, but he couldn't even find a figure.
Seeing that it was getting dark, it was even more inconvenient to find people, Hei Jiawei couldn't help frowning, "Will it fall into a tributary?" If this is the case, then there will be no one to be found.
"You can't look back, just keep going forward." If you choose, you have to keep your head down and go forward. Looking back, the people who can't find it may be even bigger.
Heijiawei finally gave up the idea of looking back, and the two continued to walk forward. Soon, it was getting dark, and it was even more difficult to find people. Hei Jiawei made two torches and continued to move forward, but the light of the torches was too weak, and the visible range was no more than one meter. How to find them? people
"I'm afraid we won't be able to find anyone today, so let's rest for a while." After finding it in the middle of the night, he still couldn't find it, so the Heijiawei had to rest first.
Lin Chujiu and the others had been running around for a day, but they had to run around for several days before catching up with Lin Chujiu. They were more tired than Lin Chujiu's group along the way.
When the two black armored guards were about to rest, the black armored guards who were chasing Liu Qi also found them.
"It's you?" Seeing the appearance of the person coming, the two black armored guards immediately put down their guard.
"Didn't find anyone?" Heijiawei, who had just arrived, knew from the appearance of the two of them.
"Diving and ran away, we searched all the way down the water, and we didn't see anyone." They were all partners, and the two black armored guards didn't hide it, and at the same time asked, "How about you? Did you find someone?"
"A soldier is already dead. But before he died, he sent a signal to go out. According to my inference, King Xiao's troops will come over tomorrow at the latest." This is one of his mistakes. Give the other party a chance to send a signal.
"This is troublesome, we may not be able to find someone in one night." The two black armored guards stood up immediately, regardless of their exhaustion.
"If we can't find it, we must retreat. We can't meet King Xiao's men. If they see us, maybe they will recognize us." It is definitely more tiring than the two of them, but in this situation, they cannot stop.
"Then keep looking. No matter what, we have to retreat tomorrow. It's better not to meet with King Xiao's army." A few small guards, they can easily solve it, but they are too many to have the ability.
"Well. Let's go." They were all well-trained soldiers, even if they were too tired, but as soon as they stepped forward, the two black armored guards recovered their spirits, and there was no sign of malaise.
The three of them went all the way along the river, but the river seemed to have no end. They went from afternoon to evening, seeing that it was about to dawn, but still no head was there.
"Does this water flow connect with the river we traveled during the day?" The sky is getting brighter and the visibility of his eyes is higher. Hei Jiawei vaguely feels that the road they are taking now is a little familiar.
"It seems so." The other two also felt the same way, but there was no trace left in the river, and they were not sure for a while.
"If it is, we should be able to see the traces left by the day and look for it again." After walking all day and night, Hei Jiawei was tired and hungry, but he had to persevere.
With the goal, the Heijiawei had a little motivation, and the three walked forward in silence. After two hours, they saw the traces left by the day.
"Sure enough, it came here. It seems that Princess Xiao has not been washed to the shore." The water from the waterfall finally flowed into the river. Although the river has branches, the water flow in the river is not fast. If you fall into the water, you will only be drowned, but cannot be washed to the shore by the current.
"One day and one night have passed. If Princess Xiao hadn't been washed to the shore by the water, she would have already died by this time." And the body was in the water, but the current was too long for them to find it.
"When a person dies, the corpse will surface. We walked all the way, but we didn't see a floating corpse." He wanted to see a person. Heijiawei still did not dare to leave without seeing Lin Chujiu's corpse.
As soon as these words came out, the other two were silent for a long while before they said, "Maybe she was caught by something. When Princess Xiao fell into the water, she was hit by an arrow in her leg. It is very likely that she was stuck by a reef in the water."
There is no way to keep searching like this. Seeing that it will be noon, if they don't leave, they will encounter King Xiao's army, and they will not be able to leave even if they want to.
"Then... let's go." The other man was persuaded and said with his eyes closed.
The other two secretly breathed a sigh of relief, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Although it's a little regretful that we didn't catch a live one. But Princess Xiao is dead, and Prince Xiao will put this account on the eldest prince."
The Heijia Guards currently operating in Dongwen and Beili are all from the First Prince. If King Xiao's men wanted to see the equipment of the Heijia Guards, they would only think that the First Prince sent the Heijia Guards to kill Lin Chujiu.
"Well, let's go." After the three black armored guards discussed it, they turned their heads and walked to one side, avoiding King Xiao's army as much as possible.
Not much after the three black armored guards left, the first marching troops in King Xiao's army rushed to the scene of the incident at the fastest speed, that is, where Liu Qi sent the signal.
The first marching army found the body of the dead Heijiawei in the forest, but he could no longer see his appearance. His face was gnawed by wild beasts. Only the black iron armor on his body could prove his identity.
Not long after they found Hei Jiawei's body, they found Liu Qi's body again. Liu Qi's corpse was also devoured by wild beasts. Without the protection of Tianwai's black iron armor, he only had a few bones and a few pieces of broken clothes.
"The people are taken away." The head of the first marching army saw Liu Qi's tragic appearance, and his eyes were slightly red.
He knows Liu Qi, and it should be said that he knows all the people who were chosen by King Xiao to protect Princess Xiao, because they are all outstanding in the army and have an unlimited future.
If, if they weren't selected by the prince to protect the princess, they would not have died...
