Tuoba Wu beat Liu Yun at the door of Yanhuai's main tent, but Tuoba Wu was a woman and a princess of the Northern Wei Dynasty, Yanhuai had no way to uphold justice, so he could only appease Liu Yun, while feeling quite headache. Tuo Bawu's personality is much more difficult than Ta Bahong's. If something happens to Ta Bahong this time, it's unknown how much trouble Tuoba Wu will cause.
The large army sent out soon set off again. Although the dispatch was timely last night, it happened to encounter heavy rain. Today, during the day, was everyone's last hope, and because of what happened to Ta Bahong, in the camp, All activities were stopped, whether it was the Great Zhou Dynasty or the Northern Wei Dynasty, they all anxiously waited for Lin Zhang to bring back good news.
Only everyone in Xiliang was indifferent to this, and Liu Yun hoped that Tuo Bahong would die on the mountain!
In the big tent in Xiliang, Liu Yun's face was covered with ointment, and his lower abdomen still hurts. The attendant said with distress, "The princess of the Northern Wei Dynasty is too barbaric to beat His Highness like this, she In that way, you will definitely not be able to marry in the future."
Liu Yun touched his own face, gasped in pain at the slightest touch, and the annoyance in his eyes became even worse, "Tuobawu, I want to see if Tabahong can come back safely this time! "
The attendant's eyes flickered slightly, "Your Highness, should we talk about that day..."
Liu Yun glared at the attendant, "What are you talking about? What does the matter of Tuo Bahong have to do with us!"
The attendant didn't dare to say any more when he heard the words, Liu Yun felt aggrieved and resentful when he thought of his bruised and swollen face, "What did the fifth princess do these two days?"
The attendant hurriedly said, "The fifth princess has been with the empress all the time. Yesterday Xiaolan was lost, and the fifth princess was very anxious. Later, the deputy commander of the imperial forest army helped to find her back. Now she treats Xiaolan like a treasure she loves."
Liu Yun gritted his teeth, "It's not a problem to just wait like this. If Tuo Bahong is found today, our odds of winning are too low. In this way, you should find a way to send that thing to the fifth princess—"
A faint light flashed in the attendant's eyes, and he nodded in response.
Although the rain has become smaller, it has not stopped. There is a gray cloud over the big camp, and there will be heavy rain pouring down at some point. Qin Wan stayed with the Queen Mother in the main tent. After a while, the Queen stayed Yan Che and Yan Zhen came to visit.
Yan Zhen held Xiao Lan in her arms, and she loved her very much. Yan Sui's eyes fell on Xiao Lan's body, but Yan Zhen didn't tell him to touch her, so he didn't dare to go forward. The Queen Mother couldn't help sighing when she saw her tone.
Zhao Shuhua said casually, "It rained heavily last night, did the Empress Dowager feel that the humidity is too heavy? If it doesn't feel right, it's better to let the servants light up the stove."
The spring night was already cold, and with the heavy rain, there was indeed some humidity in the tent. However, the main tent was built on a high platform, and it was much better after all. The Queen Mother waved her hand and said with a smile, "Jiu Yatou made some warming tea." , we felt warm after drinking it, and a little moisture is nothing—”
Zhao Shuhua said "Oh", "Ninth Miss has some good things, so why only let the empress dowager enjoy them all?"
Qin Wan hurriedly stood up and apologized, the queen mother smiled and said, "Give some of your tea to the queen, it is indeed useful, it is regarded as medicinal tea to drink."
Qin Wan hurriedly went to the back with Fu Ling to get the herbal tea, and when she came out, Zhao Shuhua saw Qin Wan divide the herbal tea into small packets, which was very pleasing to the eye, and Qin Wan handed it to the maidservant beside the queen, and by the way, said to drink it. Law.
The queen said with satisfaction, "Fortunately, Miss Jiu followed the Queen Mother this time. Not only is the Queen Mother in good health, but even Xiao Jiu is a bit more lively. It's a pity that today's incident with the Prince of the Northern Wei Dynasty happened suddenly, otherwise it would be another day of big hunting."
The queen mother sighed, "Yes, what happened to the third prince of Xiliang?"
Yan Che hurriedly said, "Grandson has gone to visit and appease, and now there is no serious problem."
The queen mother shook her head, "This princess of the Northern Wei Dynasty is too presumptuous—"
Zhao Shuhua also nodded, "That's right, I don't know if all the girls in the Northern Wei Dynasty are like this." She glanced at Yan Zhen, "If it's true, Da Zhou's daughter will suffer when she goes to her house."
The queen mother raised her eyebrows, "Does the queen want to..."
The Empress Dowager glanced at Yan Zhen, could it be that the Empress wanted Yan Zhen to marry her
The queen smiled wryly, "The courtiers and concubines are naturally reluctant, but if the prince of the Northern Wei Dynasty is fine, there must be someone to go to the Northern Wei Dynasty in the end, right? The emperor has been discussing with the courtiers in the past two days, and most of them think that it is not a bad idea to marry the Northern Wei Dynasty. "
The Queen Mother nodded and did not speak for a while. After what happened, she actually disapproved of the marriage between Da Zhou and the Northern Wei Dynasty. However, the marriages of the two countries are allies and are mutually beneficial politically. She has no way to interfere, and she will not interfere. In the end, , just look at Yanhuai's decision.
Yan Che sat on Zhao Shuhua's lower seat, his eyes fell on the queen mother, but his eyes glanced at Qin Wan from time to time. Qin Wan was standing behind the queen mother, very close to Yan Sui who was sitting next to the queen mother. Yan Sui had no intention of listening to everyone, but only A pair of eyes looked at Qin Wan. Although Qin Wan was dignified and dignified, he used his eyes to comfort Yan Sui.
Yan Che, a little girl like Yan Sui, naturally has no interest in getting close, and he also knows Yan Sui's withdrawn temperament, but he never thought that Yan Sui is very close to Qin Wan, and this Qin Wan always seems to surprise her.
Zhao Shuhua talked with the Queen Mother for a while, saw that the Queen Mother wanted to take a nap at noon, and brought Yan Che and the two of them out, glanced at the herbal tea in the maid's hand, Zhao Shuhua casually said, "Keep this away for now."
Obviously, Zhao Shuhua had no intention of actually drinking it.
The three of them returned to the big tent, and Zhao Shuhua was also a little tired, so she let Yan Che and Yan Zhen sit outside, and went into the inner hall to rest. Yan Che stood there for a while, and suddenly ordered Tang Fu, "Go and get the medicinal tea given by Nine Girls. Bring it, anyway, the queen doesn't like the smell of medicine."
Tang Fu was slightly surprised for a moment, but he still did as he did, took the herbal tea, Tang Fu thought for a while and told the maid not to tell the queen about this matter, and then he left, and when he returned to the prince's tent, Yan Che raised his chin, "Make a cup and taste it. taste."
Tang Fu was surprised again, the empress didn't like the smell of medicine, and neither did her master, so why...
Thinking like this, Tang Fu still went to make a cup, and after taking a sip, his brows were furrowed, "It's really bad."
Tang Fu hurriedly said, "The old slave will go get a new one right now."
As he said that, he wanted to get the teacup and pour it out, but Yan Che didn't let Tang Fu take the teacup away with a wave of his hand, "I also feel a little tired, so I have to drink some, you put the rest away and go down Bar."
Tang Fu's eyes widened, and after a long while, he turned around and put out the herbal tea.
Tang Fu was just about to retreat, but as soon as he stepped out of the tent, he saw Qin Chaoyu and Yan Zhen walking over together. She brought two maidservants, one of which was carrying a bird cage. Tang Fu had a big smile on his face. Going forward to pay his respects, although Qin Chaoyu has not yet married Yan Che, he is the imperial concubine, Tang Fu dare not be careless.
It was raining continuously, Qin Chaoyu was really bored staying in her tent, and she didn't have many chances to see Yan Che these few days, so she first went to Zhao Shuhua's place to Qin An, and then asked Yan Zhen to accompany her, in the name of offering a bird When it comes to Yan Che's place, it would be inappropriate for her to come alone, but if she comes with Yan Zhen, there is no need to worry about it.
"Is His Royal Highness here?"
Tang Fu quickly nodded, "Yes, please wait a moment, Your Highness the Princess and Miss Ba."
As he said that, Tang Fu hurriedly entered the big tent to report. As soon as he entered the door, he saw that Yan Che had almost finished drinking the herbal tea. Tang Fu's heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly said that Qin Chaoyu and Yan Zhen were here. Yan Che frowned slightly. Wrinkled, had no choice but to ask Tang Fu to invite the two of them in.
Yan Che put the lid on the tea and sat up straight calmly.
Yan Zhen hugged Xiao Lan, and had no intention of talking to Yan Che, but Qin Chaoyu entered the big tent with a bit of reserve, but still said, "Your Highness, the Queen Mother gave me a pair of blue sparrows the day before yesterday. Those birds sold in the market are even more beautiful, not only that, but the sound of singing is also very pleasant. I know that there is a bird in His Highness's palace, so I specially came here to give this pair of blue sparrows to His Highness the Crown Prince, Your Highness Please see—"
Qin Chaoyu stepped aside, and Yan Che saw the blue sparrow in the cage at a glance.
The birds are half the size of a palm, with green wings, bright yellow beak, shiny feathers, chirping and clear when they sing, they are indeed a beautiful pair of birds...
"You want me to bring them into the palace?"
Qin Chaoyu thought that Yan Che would be happy to see this pair of birds, but he didn't expect Yan Che to be unmoved on the face.
Qin Chaoyu was a little strange, and smiled, "Of course, since Your Highness loves birds, this pair of sparrows is another rare pair..."
As he said that, Qin Chaoyu was a little bit shy, but it was somewhat ambiguous to give a gift as a gift, but Yan Che didn't make a sound when he finished speaking. After a while, Yan Che said, "Let's let him go."
Qin Chaoyu was taken aback, "Release?"
Yan Che looked at Qin Chaoyu, "They are birds in the mountains. How could they be happy if they were kept in cages? You think their chirping is clear and pleasant, but you don't know that it is their mournful cry."
It was nothing at first, but hearing what Yan Che said, Qin Chaoyu felt a chill down his back instantly, and the chirping of birds suddenly made people unbearable to listen to it. The smile on her lips was a little stiff, and she didn't even know to put her hands Where should I go, "Well... His Royal Highness, don't tell me, I have never thought of it. Indeed, it is too cruel to capture them back like this. I will ask someone to release them." After finishing speaking, Qin Chaoyu looked To Mo Yi who was carrying the cage.
Mo Yi nodded, walked to the door and opened the cage door.
As soon as the door was opened, two birds flew out in a hurry, and disappeared in the blink of an eye, which showed that Qin Chaoyu was eager to escape from this cage. Qin Chaoyu breathed a sigh of relief, and Yan Che said, "Thank you for your kindness." , but it’s better not to confine the birds in cages, the sparrows raised in my palace have injured their wings and can no longer fly.”
Fearing that Qin Chaoyu couldn't hold back, Yan Che finally explained a few words.
Qin Chaoyu forced a smile, "So that's the case. I misunderstood it. I didn't know it before, but I will remember it in the future." As he spoke, Qin Chaoyu snorted and suddenly smelled a faint smell of medicine, "Your Highness just took the medicine ? Your Highness is unwell?"
Yan Che frowned slightly, and Tang Fu raised his heart. For some reason, in front of Qin Chaoyu, he felt that his master was guilty of drinking Qin Wan's herbal tea...
"No discomfort, it's just that Da Lie had a few scratches yesterday and applied ointment."
Yan Che lied calmly, and Tang Fu lowered his head.
Qin Chaoyu was relieved, and seeing that Yan Che had no intention of speaking, he offered to leave.
Yan Che got up to see him off, and Qin Chaoyu felt a little more at ease.
When Qin Chaoyu and Yan Zhen left, Yan Che stood at the tent door in a daze.
In fact, he didn't need to lie. After all, Qin Wan's herbal tea has medicinal effects, but he just subconsciously chose to lie. Thinking of what Zhao Shuhua had said, Yan Che stepped out of the door and walked towards Yan Huai's big tent. , These are not what he should think about, he should do what he should do now.
After an hour of incense sticks, Yan Che ordered fifty troops and left the camp to go straight to Weishan.
First, the commander of the imperial forest army was sent to search the mountain, and then even the Prince of Zhou led his troops to the mountain. When Tuoba Wu learned about this, the anger in his heart faded a bit, but he couldn't wait for a moment. When she came back, she couldn't let go of her heart for a moment. Looking at the gloomy sky outside, Tuoba Wu's heart was also shrouded in haze.
After a whole day of waiting, when it was dark, Lin Zhang and Yan Che returned to the camp with a large army. To everyone's disappointment, Tuo Bahong, the prince of the Northern Wei Dynasty, was still missing.
It is very easy to hide a person on the huge Weishan mountain, but it is very difficult to hide a person with Lin Zhang who is familiar with the mountain and leads a carpet search, but Tuo Bahong still has no trace.
Yan Huai called Yan Chi, Yan Qi and others to the main tent, and Tuoba Wu and Tuoba Rui sat at the first place on the left.
"I still can't see Prince Tuoba, who of you has a good idea, or thought of other possibilities, speak freely!"
Seeing that the second night has arrived, if Ta Bahong is injured, the longer the time passes, the less likely it is to rescue him, and even if he gets lost, the heavy rain for two nights and one day is enough for him.
Yan Che followed up the mountain today, and heard the words, "Father, when we went up the mountain today, we found several landslides on Weishan Mountain, and the rocks fell a lot from top to bottom. Could it be..."
Was Ta Bahong buried by the landslide? !
This is not what Yan Huai is happy to hear, but it is also possible.
Yan Qi stepped forward and said, "Father, could it be that the prince has gone in the wrong direction and is getting farther and farther away from us?"
Compared to the possibility Yan Che said, Yan Huai was more willing to believe what Yan Qi said. Yan Huai looked at Lin Zhang, "What do you think?"
"What the two Highnesses said is possible. It is indeed easy to get lost on Weishan Mountain."
"Impossible." It was Tuobawu who opposed it, she said with a cold face, "My elder brother can't get lost on the endless snow field, how can he get lost in a mere mountain forest?"
"Her Royal Highness, everything is possible. Now, we can only speculate in a good direction."
Lin Zhang said something, and Tuoba Wu hesitated to speak for a moment, "Then what should we do now? My elder brother disappeared in the royal hunting ground in Dazhou. The emperor must give us an explanation."
Yan Huai said calmly, "It's only natural, we've been trying our best so far, haven't we?"
Regarding this point, Tuoba Wu had nothing to say, Yan Huai thought for a while, "Perhaps we really need to expand the scope of the search, the foothills on both sides in the east and west directions, and the mountains seven or eight miles away in the north direction. , Lin Zhang, you go to rest for two hours first, Prince, you order another two thousand soldiers, Yan Chi, I need you to bring a team of troops."
Finding people is much easier than fighting. Among these people, whoever leads the troops is most likely to find Tuo Bahong, it is undoubtedly Yan Chi, but now Yan Chi is a civil servant, so Yan Huai did not send he.
Yan Chi stepped forward, "Yan Chi obeyed."
Hearing that Yan Chi was going to lead troops to look for Ta Bahong, Tuo Bawu was in a complicated mood for a while, she adored Yan Chi, but she couldn't catch Yan Chi's eyes, not only that, Yan Chi killed her Yue Ya, now, I don't know if he holds grudges She, will he try his best to find Ta Bahong
"Lin Tong leads a team, the prince stays in the other team, Yan Chi leads a team, one person in one direction, the fifth prince and several other guards also accompany separately, try to find traces related to Prince Tuoba, and now they are all raised Spirit, set off at midnight, use it to drive at night, and arrive at the place where you can find it at ten o'clock in the morning. If you can't find it this time... "
There was a moment of silence in the main tent, Yan Huai narrowed his eyes and said, "Of course I will give an explanation to Northern Wei."
With an order, the entire camp started to move, and the weather was beautiful at this moment, and the rain was getting lighter and smaller. Soon, the two thousand recruits were lightly ordered. The three of Yan Chi, each with about 700 troops, Lin Zhang He and the prince were resting at the moment because they had gone up the mountain during the day, and Yan Chi assembled the army on the square.
The search for people this time requires a very long distance, and it is very likely that they will not be able to return until two or three days later. Therefore, the soldiers must not only carry weapons, but also carry dry food. Seeing that the time for departure is very close, Tuoba Wu suddenly came out in a tight-sleeved dress, riding a black horse she brought from the Northern Wei Dynasty, and walked directly to Yan Chi's side.
"Your Highness Chi, I want to find my brother too!"
Yan Chi sat on the horseback and looked over indifferently when he heard the words, "This trip will be marching all night, maybe the princess?"
Tuoba Wu raised his jaw, "Of course—"
Yan Chi looked at Tuoba Wu expressionlessly for a moment, then nodded.
Tuoba Wu was surprised, he didn't expect Yan Chi to agree like this, "You—"
Soon, Lin Zhang and Yan Che also arrived at the front of the formation. In this case, who should Tuoba Wu go with is the problem. Lin Zhang looked at Yan Che, then at Yan Chi, "Where does Your Highness want to go?" ?”
Tuoba Wu raised his jaw, "I want to go in the true north direction."
As soon as these words fell, both Yan Che and Lin Zhang looked at Yan Chi, and Tuoba Wu frowned. She just chose a direction. She didn't expect to choose Yan Chi to lead the army. She felt mixed feelings for a while, but here However, Yan Chi said decisively, "I don't agree."
Lin Zhang and Yan Che were surprised, and Yan Che said, "Yan Chi..."
Tuoba Wu stared, "Why?! Don't you think—"
Don't you think I'm just trying to follow you? !
Yan Chi didn't even look at Tuoba Wu, "I won't carry a burden."
The three of Lin Zhang, one person and one direction, are traveling on the plains from east to west, but the north direction is to cross mountains and ridges. To ensure that Tuoba Hong can be found early, their speed of crossing mountains and ridges must be fast. No matter what the purpose is, Yan Chi will never bring Tuoba Wu with him.
As soon as the word "cumbersome" came out, Tuoba's blushing eyes turned red!
"Call me a burden?! How about we fight?!"
Tuoba Wu just hit Liu Yun, in her opinion, it is better to speak than to fight, not to mention that Yan Chi's words clearly looked down on her.
Yan Chi gave her a cold look, "The princess is not worth my hands. Although the princess is practicing martial arts, there are many mountains and roads in the north. In order to find Prince Tuoba sooner, the princess should not make trouble. It's Pingyuan, the princess wants to do her best for brother Ling, just choose one of them—"
Yan Chi's words were really hurtful, but he said every word very calmly and rationally, but it didn't make people feel that he was being rude on purpose.
"you-"
Tuoba Wu wanted to say more, but Yan Che said, "Yan Chi is right. It is already risky for the princess to go with her. The road on the mountain is slippery, and there is a possibility of encountering wild animals and collapsed rocks. The possibility of accidents is extremely high. The princess had an accident on the mountain, should you save the princess or go to find Prince Tuoba?"
Lin Zhang also echoed, "That's right, I hope Her Royal Highness think twice."
The corners of Tuoba Wu's lips were pursed tightly. Although she was extremely unconvinced in her heart, her rationality told herself that what the three of Lin Zhang said was right, she gritted her teeth, and Tuoba Wu said harshly, "Okay , then I’ll go west!”
Yan Chi was noncommittal, the expression on his face remained unchanged from the beginning to the end. Hearing that he walked in front of his soldiers and horses, Lin Zhang said, "Then Her Royal Highness is going with this general, and it may rain heavily tonight. Please be prepared in your heart." .”
Tuoba Wu snorted softly, "You don't need to tell me, this princess knows."
Tuoba Wu was wearing a dark cloak and a narrow-sleeved dress underneath, which showed that she was ready. She also carried a bow and arrow and a sword with her. A little sassy.
Now that they were about to leave, the Empress Dowager Yanhuai and others came out to see him off. The Empress Dowager said, "I asked someone to prepare some cakes for Yan Che and Yan Chi. After this trip, I don't know how many days it will be before I come back."
As he said that, he ordered people to deliver pastries to the two, Nanny Chen and Yan Che delivered, but Bai Ying delivered to Yanchi.
Tuoba Wu recognized Bai Ying, and when Yan Chi took the pastry, he looked in the direction of the queen mother with gentle eyes, and immediately understood that the pastry was probably prepared by Qin Wan, so his heart was even more sour and angry with Chen Za!
Yan Chi is not always cold and heartless, his tenderness and friendship are all given to Qin Wan!
Tuoba Wu held the reins tightly, and as soon as the order to start came out, she lowered the whip and galloped away. However, at this moment, in the night rain, a horse neighed suddenly. It rang out.
The horse neighed so far away that it wasn't even clear that it was blocked by the rain curtain, but in an instant, Tuoba Wu reined in the horse!
She stopped abruptly, immediately blocked the people behind, and for a while, the people behind could only stop too, and the mighty team that was about to set off was blocked at the gate of the camp just like that—
"Princess, what happened?!"
Lin Zhang asked loudly, and Tuoba Wu said, "Listen!"
Everyone listened intently, and there was another horse neighing, their expressions changed slightly, their eyes were fixed on the night in front of them, and soon, a tall brown horse appeared in everyone's line of sight. Appeared, Tuoba Wu called out "Brother Prince" in disbelief, then immediately raised his whip and walked out, Lin Zhang and the others immediately followed, and soon, the horse was approaching, but there was an empty space on the horse's back. , It turned out to be just a horse running back.
Tuoba Wu's eyes immediately became wet, "This is Changfeng! This is the horse of the prince's brother! This is the horse of the prince's brother!"
Tuoba Wu was very excited, and when she finished speaking, she choked up. She turned to look at Lin Zhang and the others, and continued, "This is the prince's brother's horse, I recognize it! I will never admit my mistake!"
At this time, Tuoba Rui also came out from behind, "Yes! This is Changfeng! Just look at the horse bell!"
Tuoba Rui was also full of disbelief, "How could Changfeng come back by himself, where did he come back from?!"
Thousands of people went up to Weishan, looking for both Tuo Bahong and the horse, but neither the man nor the horse was found, but now, the horse ran back by itself? !
Yan Chi and Yan Che also wanted to ask where it came from!
Yan Chi took a quick look at the horse, but saw that there was no obvious major wound on the horse, and Tuoba Wu said, "Chang Feng, Chang Feng, where did you come from? Brother Prince is here. where?"
The horse has a spirit, as if it heard Tuobawu's words, it spun around violently on the spot, the horse's head kept facing the direction of Weishan, Tuobawu hurriedly said, "Changfeng, take me to find the prince How is brother? Changfeng! Can you take me to find Brother Prince?"
The long wind was still neighing non-stop, but it was just spinning around in place.
Lin Zhang looked at his brows and frowned slightly, "It must be far away. It may remember the way, but it doesn't know how to take us there, and it has been raining for two days. The rain will definitely interfere with their memory."
The horse was still spinning, snorting one after another in front of Tuobawu, and Tuobawu was anxious, "What should I do?! Changfeng will not be separated from my brother! It must know where my brother is!"
A sudden change happened, and the large army was stranded outside the camp. When Yan Huai got the news, he immediately led people out from inside. The queen mother and Zhao Shuhua were all watched by servants holding umbrellas.
It made everyone worry about it for two days, but now that the horse is back, where is Ta Bahong
"Your Majesty, this is Prince Tuoba's horse, it came back by itself!"
Yan Huai had already seen it, and his brows couldn't help but tense, "It must know where Prince Tuoba is."
Lin Zhang regretted, "Unfortunately, we can't let it lead the way."
Yan Huai thought for a while, "Let the Sima officer come over and see if he can make the horse obey."
Lin Zhang was about to give the order, but Tuoba Wu said, "You can't tame the horses of the Northern Wei Dynasty." He said anxiously, "But this time, we didn't bring the horse trainer with us."
While speaking, Yan Chi had already dismounted from his horse, and he approached Chang Feng slowly, getting closer and closer.
Maybe it was a stranger approaching, or maybe it was Yan Chi's imposing manner, Chang Feng saw Yan Chi approaching, and subconsciously ran to the side, Yan Chi glanced at Tuoba Rui, Tuoba Rui understood, and immediately stepped forward Chang Feng held onto him, and Chang Feng stopped moving. Yan Chi walked up to the horse, stroked the horse's back to comfort Chang Feng, and then carefully examined every part of Chang Feng's body.
There were no obvious scars on Changfeng's body, but there were some small wounds. Yan Chi looked carefully, and when he reached the ponytail, Yan Chi suddenly frowned. Changfeng's ponytail was covered with mud stains, although it was washed away It fell out quite a bit, but the horse's tail hairs were still sticking together messily, and Yan Chi saw a bit of greenery with mud and sand between the horse's tail hairs.
While comforting the horse, he picked out the greenery.
As soon as he turned around, Yan Chi looked at Qin Wan who was supporting the queen mother, "Please help Jiu girl."
Yan Huai seemed to understand what Yan Chi meant, and immediately looked at Qin Wan, "Jiu girl, go—"
Qin Wan nodded, and quickly walked to Yan Chi's side. She knew that Yan Chi was looking for Chang Feng's whereabouts when Yan Chi dismounted to look around. Now that Yan Chi found something, she needed her help.
The greenness on Yan Chi's fingertips was only half the size of a fingernail, and it was already dark green when mixed with the sand. Yan Chi handed the fingertips to Qin Wan, "Look what it is?!"
Everyone was not far away, so they couldn't see what was in Yan Chi's hands. Qin Wan took the greenness from Yan Chi's fingertips, put it on his nose and smelled it, then looked carefully for a moment, and then said, " These are the leaves of Gorgon."
Everyone got excited and took a step closer. Tuoba Wu also got off the horse and walked closer. When he saw that there was only a star of greenery in Qin Wan's hand, he frowned and said, "What is Gorgon?! Knowing this, and looking for it What's the matter with my brother?"
Her tone was quite unkind, Yan Chi still asked Qin Wan to come out when it was so important, when he spoke, his tone was a bit gentler, in front of so many people, the two of them felt embarrassed!
The two of them can be affectionate, but they can't delay looking for her elder brother!
Tuoba Wu glared at Qin Wan angrily, and the others were puzzled, Qin Wan said calmly, "Gorgon is an annual aquatic herb, and its fruit has the effect of being used as medicine. Gorgon likes water, and it mostly grows in lakes, swamps or ponds. As far as I know, there is no lake in the middle of the mountain, so this thing mostly grows in swamps or small ponds. The leaves are scattered and have not been washed away by the rain so far. After struggling wildly in the bushes, it was only firmly adhered."
"A horse is spiritual, can predict danger, and will not go to the depths of the water or swamp for no reason, so there is only one explanation. It has something to do with Tuoba's son with the leaves of Gorgon. We should find Tuoba's son as soon as possible. , as long as we can find the location of Gorgon, the possibility of finding Tuoba's son will be greatly increased."
Facing Tuobawu's questioning, Qin Wan didn't panic at all. In the cold rain, her voice was calm and calm. Although her expression was not as aggressive as Tuobawu's, when she spoke loudly, However, the aura had already suppressed Tuobawu, and the two of them stood within the sight range of everyone, and in just a moment, they were able to distinguish between superior and inferior!
After hearing Qin Wan's words, Tuoba Wu lost his momentum, and Yan Huai immediately said, "So it's right to go to the swamps and ponds?"
Lin Zhang also immediately said, "There are no lakes in Weishan Mountain, but there are mountain springs and converging ponds, and there are also swamps. If you follow this direction, the range will be much smaller!"
Originally, everyone wanted to search aimlessly in three directions, but they didn't expect Changfeng to come back. Although Changfeng came back, he couldn't lead the way. Everyone was still clueless, but Yan Chi found the Gorgon leaf, and so did Qin Wan. After an analysis, the direction to find Ta Bahong was very clear!
Qin Wan nodded slightly, then turned to look at Chang Feng.
She didn't plan to stand out at this time, but since she came out, she should do her best.
She stared at Changfeng with blazing eyes, and the others also looked at her. Lin Zhang wanted to speak, but Yan Huai stopped her with a raised hand. Others didn't know Qin Wan's skill, but he and Yan Chi did. Yan Chi asked Qin Wan to help him, and he immediately agreed. Seeing Qin Wan's figure-like back, Yan Huai was full of appreciation in his heart.
Tuoba Wu and Tuoba Rui looked at each other, while the others were even more puzzled.
At such a critical time, Qin Wan is a little fairy doctor, so it is not surprising that she recognized the medicine, but why did she stand there and watch the horse? Speaking of which, this should be a place where men talk, Qin Wan is a weak woman, she is a bit abrupt, although the truth is so, but when everyone looked over, they saw that Qin Wan was dressed elegantly, even plainly, but she couldn't hide it. Her body is as smooth as a bright moon and pearl jade, and her delicate facial features are more gentle and light in the drizzle, and she has the spirit of a fairyland from another world. Moreover, her figure is straight and her posture is extraordinary, which is clearly the age of jasper. The little girl's aura not only surpassed Tuoba Wu, but even rivaled Yan Chi's! It's just amazing!
"This is Miss Nine from the Zhongyonghou Mansion."
"Is it the little fairy doctor who cured the empress dowager?"
"It's her. I heard that she has been with the empress dowager these days."
"It turned out to be her. I said that I have seen a very good-looking girl following the queen mother these few days, but I don't know who she is. If you want me to say, even the princess temperament is not as good as her..."
The low-pitched voices of discussion frequently recalled that the soldiers passed on to ten, ten to a hundred, and soon, the soldiers standing at the end knew the situation ahead, but when everyone was full of praise for Qin Wan, Qin Wan suddenly shook his head.
"No, not a pond, nor a swamp."
Yan Huai raised her eyebrows, "How to say?!"
Qin Wan stared and said, "The scars on Changfeng's body are mostly slender wounds, mainly distributed on the side of the horse, as if scratched by some sharp stones, and there are also scratches on his horse's hooves. Ordinary stones cannot injure such a small wound. It should be in a place with a lot of slate, and judging from the location of the wound, it is probably in a very narrow and cramped place, similar to a narrow road. Passing by, there are mostly slates with sharp edges and corners on both sides of this narrow road."
"With water, Gorgon can grow, just like a road, and there is slate..."
Qin Wan's eyes sharpened, "It should be in a mountain stream, Your Majesty, you should look for it in the mountain stream!"
From a swamp or a pond, it suddenly turned into a mountain stream. Although the destination also became smaller, Ke Tuobawu didn't like this feeling. Such a big scene where all the masters were present seemed to be taken away in such an emergency. Qin Wan took the lead, and everyone was following Qin Wan's train of thought...
"These wounds can be caused by some powerful bushes, or are they scratched on the trunk?"
Tuoba Wu frowned tightly, thinking he asked a sharp question.
Qin Wan looked at Tuobawu calmly when he heard the words, "Shrubs can hurt people, but they can't hurt horses with thick fur, and the wounds on Changfeng's body are long, narrow, and deep. The edges of the wounds that are rolled outwards and bruised will never be so neat, if the princess doesn't believe it, she can take a knife and slash Chang Feng's body horizontally."
Tuoba Wu wanted to say, but Lin Zhang said, "Princess, don't doubt it. What Nine Girls said is right. Ordinary stones can't hurt horses, only sharp-edged slates can do that. Since the princess has decided for us Once we have our goal, we don’t need to search in all directions. There are mountain springs on Weishan Mountain, and there are mountain streams where there are mountain springs. I suddenly remembered that we have searched for many places, but we did not find those hidden mountain streams. If His Royal Highness falls into the mountain stream We can't find it just by looking over the mountains."
Most of the mountain streams are extremely deep and extremely long trenches. If a person falls into it, and there are branches and shrubs covering it, it is indeed difficult to find traces of people. When Lin Zhang said this, everyone felt that what Qin Wan said was really reasonable!
Yan Huai said decisively, "Okay, since this is the case, you are familiar with the terrain, immediately take someone to look for places where there may be mountain streams, and don't let go of every inch! Go now—"
The situation has changed drastically, and people have to be counted again. Lin Zhang felt that it would be inconvenient to bring too many people up the mountain at dark, so he only counted 500 people. Yan Che and Yan Chi also went together, and Tuoba Wu and Tuoba Rui Seeing that the hope of finding Tuo Bahong increased, he couldn't help but also asked to go with him. Yan Huai was grateful for the two's eagerness to save his brother, and after a moment of hesitation, he agreed. After two sticks of incense, the large army really set off. The mount was replaced by Changfeng, and I hope Changfeng can help when he gets close to the place where the incident happened.
Seeing another fire dragon set off, Yan Huai turned around and looked at Qin Wan, "Jiu girl, if you really found Prince Tuoba this time, then you have made another great contribution!"
The corners of Qin Wan's lips twitched slightly, "No accident, Prince Tuoba will be found tonight!"
Seeing Qin Wan's determination, Yan Huai laughed loudly, "I'm really glad that the queen mother brought you here this time, you little girl, you are really tight, this horse has a good test."
Yan Huai's tone was profound, Qin Wan's downcast eyes were very introverted, but others only felt that Yan Huai admired Qin Wan very much, but they didn't know what was the mystery behind it.
Seeing the large army leaving, everyone returned to the camp again.
There was no direction before, and everyone waited anxiously. This time, after Qin Wan's investigation and analysis, he insisted on determining the place where Ta Bahong's accident occurred. Is what Qin Wan said reasonable? Can Ta BaHong be successfully found
Not to mention Yan Huai, but everyone else has this doubt in their hearts.
Although they went back to camp, tonight is destined to be another sleepless night.
The queen mother pulled Yan Sui, and asked with a smile, "Do you believe that the ninth sister of the Qin family is right?"
Naturally, Qin Wan didn't dare to be Yan Sui's older sister, but Yan Sui and Qin Wan became very close after a few days, the Queen Mother simply referred to them as siblings, Yan Sui looked at Qin Wan and nodded.
The queen mother said, "Jiu girl, last time we gambled, you lost to me. This time, if you are right, I have a big reward for you—"
Qin Wan said embarrassedly, "It's just a little effort for me."
The queen mother shook her head, "Of course not. Although you only said a few words, firstly, this matter cannot be done by others. Secondly, it is related to the diplomatic relations between Da Zhou and the Northern Wei Dynasty. You have taken a risk."
Qin Wan understood that if she pointed in the direction but couldn't find anyone, it would be a waste of time and troops, and with Tuobawu's temperament, it was very likely that she would be accused.
In other words, even the Queen Mother couldn't sleep anymore, and Yan Sui was young and full of energy, so the three of them couldn't sleep anymore, but looking outside, most of the curtains were lit.
After waiting like this for more than three hours, when it was almost Mao's time, a fast horse galloped into the camp from outside!
As soon as they arrived at the main tent, the soldiers who came to report the news shouted, "The prince of the Northern Wei Dynasty has been found! The prince of the Northern Wei Dynasty has been found!"
With this roar, all the people in the camp were shouted out!
In the main tent, the sleepy Qin Guan raised the corners of his lips.
