The first marching army was dissatisfied with Lin Chujiu, because Lin Chujiu left first, because Lin Chujiu refused to join the army, and their brothers died innocently and tragically, not even a complete corpse was left.
If it wasn't for the order to let Lin Chujiu go first, it was given by Xiao Tianyao, and those who marched first might be even more dissatisfied, or even resentful.
However, this dissatisfaction soon disappeared, and as for resentment, it disappeared without even being born.
It was because he knew very well that his dissatisfaction with the princess was unreasonable. The guards who were picked by the prince, their responsibility was to protect the princess, and it was their honor to die to protect the princess.
On the other hand, if they died without protecting the princess, then death is not honor but incompetence. Failing to protect the princess is incompetent, and failing to find the missing princess is also incompetent.
In order not to let the prince think that they are a group of incompetent people, they must find the princess as soon as possible.
The first marching army collected the bones of Liu Qi and others, and then looked around for traces and followed the traces to find people.
Soon after marching first, they found the waterfall, and also saw the footprints left by the Heijiawei.
"There was blood on the ground. The princess's feet were light and heavy. The princess' feet should have been injured. The footprints were messy, and the princess should have been in danger at the time. She jumped off the waterfall in a hurry, and did not take any safety measures. Heijia Wei didn't enter the water, he just followed the current to find someone, and I don't know if he found it." The soldier, who is good at checking traces, analyzed the situation after seeing the footprints.
"Let two people who are good at swimming jump down, don't swim, float along the current and see where they will float. Others follow me to find someone." The leading people quickly divided their work and started their own actions.
The traces left by the Black Armored Guards are easy to find. They moved forward and did not manage the tributaries at all, but they could not do so when they marched first.
Their purpose is to find Lin Chujiu. Heijiawei has never looked for a place, they will also look for it, and they must not let go of any possibility.
Along the way, people continued to go to the tributaries to find people, and the leader led a few people, following the footprints left by the Heijiawei, all the way along the mainstream.
In the evening, they walked back to where they were!
In place, there are still only the footprints of the three black armored guards, and I don't see how many people they have brought.
"Heijiawei probably didn't find anyone, and didn't want to meet us, so he left first." The soldier who was checking the footprints did not dare to use a positive tone, but everyone knew that he was sure.
"It's good that the princess doesn't fall into their hands." If it falls into the hands of Hei Jiawei, it will be troublesome.
"Heijiawei don't have to chase, we can't catch up even if we chase. Take people back and see if they have found the princess." The most urgent task is to find the princess, and the rest can be said later.
"Yes." The group turned back and met with the soldiers from various tributaries who were looking for someone, but along the way, the answers they got were all negative.
"The princess was not found."
"I didn't see any trace of the princess."
"The water flows to a dark passage, which is extremely long and deep, and there is no way to get in."
"nobody."
…
At this time, it was already dark, and a group of people gathered in front of the waterfall again. Except for the two who jumped into the water and floated along the water, everyone else returned without success.
"Why can't I find someone? The princess was not taken away by the Heijiawei." Every time he heard the sentence "The princess was not found," the leader's face became ugly, "The person is not in the hands of the Heijiawei, just follow the flow of the water. I can't find it again, could it have disappeared?"
How much the prince cares about the princess, they all see it in their eyes, if the princess has three strengths and two weaknesses, they don't have to go back.
"Look, keep looking. Drain the water, and dig three feet in the ground to find people." Of course, these words are urgent and should not be taken seriously.
The water in the waterfall is living water, and even if it is pumped to death, it is impossible to drain the water. As for digging three feet in the ground, it is even more unnecessary. Lin Chujiu did not hide in the ground.
"Yes." The first marching army said with a strong fighting spirit.
They walked all day and night, their legs were as heavy as lead, but before they found Lin Chujiu, they didn't dare to get tired. The leader gave an order, and they held up the torches and continued to look for someone along the water. .
Back and forth, over and over again, a total of three times, they found the two people who were drifting away along the water, and they all "floated" back, and they did not find Lin Chujiu.
"No, we searched all the way, there is no trace at all, and there is no sign of the princess."
"I sent someone to try it. The long tunnel is full of rocks, and the water is so deep that people can't get in at all."
"I can't find it, has the princess... escaped? Or didn't jump into the water at all?" It was bright and still no one was found, so they had to boldly guess that Lin Chujiu was not in the water at all.
"Heijiawei didn't find anyone either. The princess' footprints disappeared in front of the waterfall. Someone must be nearby. Keep looking!"
The leader's eyes were red, and at a glance, he knew that the boil was not easy, and the others were not much better. You know, they not only didn't sleep all night, they were busy all night, and their spirits were highly tense.
"We went back and forth and looked around. If the princess is nearby, we will definitely find it."
"Boss, everyone has been looking for a day and a night. Even if we continue to look for people, let's rest first, right?"
They are good soldiers, but they are not iron-clad. They urgently need to rest now. After enough rest, they will have the strength to continue looking for people.
"Rest on the spot for three hours, and then look for me." Not to mention the little soldiers who were looking for people everywhere, even the leader himself was tired.
After resting for three hours, the first marching army continued to look for people, until the next day dawn, but still did not find even a trace.
"Head, two days and two nights have passed. Even if I find it, the princess is afraid..." The man didn't say what he said later, but everyone understood the meaning.
"Boss, the news of the disappearance of the princess has to be sent back, and the prince will decide." No one could be found for two days and two nights.
The leader closed his eyes tiredly, and said in a hoarse voice, "Let's pass it on, send the news back." It was supposed that they had to pass the news back yesterday, but he was lucky and wanted to look for it again. It took another day to find it.
The army was only dozens of miles away from them, and the news was quickly sent back to the barracks, but...
Xiao Tianyao was not in the army, and no one could make a decision. The hidden guard could only temporarily use Xiao Tianyao's name to give the order to stop the army and assist the first army to find Lin Chujiu.
Although the order to find the person was issued, the hidden guard did not dare to hide the matter, and sent the news immediately, hoping that their prince would come over as soon as possible, otherwise...
