The queen cried the whole harem

Chen Hong didn't know that something had happened to Chen Dongyan at this time. He assisted Wei Xingda in escorting the people out of the city safely and back to their hometown.

During this period, Chen Hong has been using his semi-supernatural powers to detect dangers that may appear at any time.

He has limited energy and cannot pry into Chen Dongyan's side, so he doesn't know what happened to Chen Dongyan's side.

Fortunately, there was no danger along the way and they arrived at Qingjiang Pass safely.

Ren Sihai and Song Tailai had been standing on the city wall, looking in the direction of Qi Guancheng. When they saw someone coming here, Ren Sihai and Song Tailai showed joy on their faces.

Song Tailai said: "Ren Wuhou seems to be a common people!"

Ren Sihai stood there motionless. Although he also saw it, he did not say to open the city gate immediately to welcome the people into the city, or to go out of the city to welcome them. Instead, he said: "When they approach and confirm their identities, we will It’s better to be cautious when taking them into the city at this time.”

Song Tailai felt that Ren Sihai was right, so he stood there and watched the humanoid team in the distance gradually approaching.

There are many people in Qi State. Although some people died in the fire, [-]% to [-]% of them are still alive, at least tens of thousands. After all, there are many soldiers stationed, and there are also many family members. Fortunately, there are five or six soldiers left behind. Although some of them died while fighting the fire, there were still [-] to [-] soldiers, and these soldiers were enough to escort the people.

Chen Hong and Wei Xingda were in front, and the deputy princes were behind. The ordinary soldiers walked along both sides of the humanoid team, protecting the people while moving forward.

There is still a certain distance between the two cities, and the people's footsteps are slow. Therefore, when they officially arrive at the city gate of Qingjiang Pass, it is already bright.

Everyone is tired.

When Ren Sihai and Song Tailai saw Chen Hong and Wei Xingda, they did not hesitate and immediately asked the soldiers to open the city gate. The two of them quickly ran down the city wall and went out to greet them.

Wei Xingda reported: "Marquis Ren Wu, all the people of Qi have been delivered. Now they are safe, but some people and soldiers died in the fire."

Ren Sihai and Song Tailai were both sad but relieved. Ren Sihai said: "Don't blame yourself. There are deaths and injuries in war. This is normal. Now that you can save most of the people, you have done a good job." .”

The people were both happy and sad along the way.

They were happy that they finally returned to their homeland, but sadly, some of their relatives and friends died.

After traveling all night, everyone's face was gray and their eyes were filled with bright and melancholy light.

However, for some children, they were not as emotional as the adults. They laughed and shouted that they were back, which still added a touch of life to the dull atmosphere.

After all the people entered the city, Ren Sihai, Song Tailai, and Wei Xingda were not idle either. They directed the soldiers to settle the people.

All the Jiang soldiers were killed, but the people were still alive. It was just that the people were all trapped in one place and guarded by heavy troops. How to deal with them would have to be reported to the king.

Chen Hong also helped settle the people.

By the time all the people had settled down, it was already afternoon.

Chen Hong took some time off and turned on his magical powers to find out what was going on at Chen Dongyan's side. This investigation revealed that Chen Dongyan was missing!
Chen Hong was a little surprised and used his magical power to look for Chen Dongyan everywhere, but he couldn't find it.

First of all, the magical ability can only peek into the present. If you want to peek into the past, you have to find a medium. For example, the last time Yan Ning went to Yang Qianyue's princess banquet, Yan Ning peeked into Liu Baoluo's heart to get what happened before.

Secondly, Chen Hong possesses semi-supernatural powers, and his abilities are limited, and he cannot spy too far away.

Chen Dongyan had previously fought against Yin Sang's group, and was later entangled by Han Tie's group. Chen Hong knew Yin Sang's group, but not Han Tie's group.

At this time, Han Tie and the remaining secret guards had all left to look for Chen Dongyan. They were not within the scope of Chen Hongneng's prying eyes, and Chen Hong did not know that there was a second group of secret guards.

Previously, Chen Hong had spied on Chen Dongyan's battle situation and knew that Chen Dongyan had the upper hand. Now that Chen Dongyan was missing, Chen Hong didn't think much about it, at least he never thought that his cousin would be defeated, die, or disappear.

Chen Hong frowned, guessing that his cousin might have gone to do something temporarily, but where his cousin went, he couldn't spy on it yet.

But Chen Hong was still a little worried. He went to Ren Sihai and said that he wanted to find Chen Dongyan.

Ren Sihai was also worried about Chen Dongyan: "Duhou Chen hasn't come back, will something happen? I'll ask Wei Xingda to go with you and send more soldiers."

"no need."

Chen Hong has semi-magical powers. At this time, he felt that Chen Dongyan was fine. He would definitely use the semi-magical powers to find Chen Dongyan. The fewer people there, the more convenient it would be for him.

Furthermore, he had just spied on it. Whether it was inside or outside the city, it was very safe. There was no danger, so there was no need for too many people.

Although the people had settled down, they had just recovered Qingjiang Pass, and there were still many things to do. It was difficult for him to pull Wei Xingda, but the soldiers could, but he didn't need it.

Chen Hong said: "Ren Wuhou, I can go alone. There should be no danger outside now. Even if there is, I can deal with it. Qingjiang Pass has just been recovered. You still have a lot to do and a lot of people will be needed." , don’t assign people to me, I can really do it myself.”

He handed over to Ren Sihai and others: "Chen Hong has gone. I will come back immediately after finding my cousin."

Seeing that he insisted on not letting anyone follow him, Ren Sihai also knew in his heart that Chen Hong was actually a powerful young man. There should be no danger outside at present, so he agreed and gave him a signal smoke: "Then you should be careful alone, if you really meet him If it's dangerous and cannot be dealt with, send off signal smoke immediately, and we will send reinforcements soon."

Chen Hong took the signal cigarette and nodded: "Okay."

After saying goodbye, Chen Hong went out.

As soon as they walked out of the door, they saw Meng Qingzheng and Guo Xin coming towards them.

Meng Qingzheng and Guo Xin came to see Chen Hong. When they saw Chen Hong, they immediately surrounded him.

Before they could say anything, Chen Hong said: "I have to go out for a while. You two can stay here for now. Later, let Marquis Ren Wu send someone to take you back to Lanzhou Pass to meet Yanlang."

Meng Qingzheng immediately asked: "Where are you going?"

Chen Hong didn't know where he was going: "I'm going to find my cousin. I'll be back soon."

Guo Xin asked: "Can we come with you?"

Chen Hong shook his head: "No need, you two stay in the city for now. I will come back whether I can find my cousin or not."

Meng Qingzheng and Guo Xin said nothing more and watched Chen Hong leave.

Chen Hong rode out of the city and first went to the place where Chen Dongyan had fought Yin Sang and the three thousand secret guards. He saw many corpses. After counting, he found that a few corpses were missing.

Chen Hong squinted his eyes and turned to look at the woods behind him, wondering if a few secret guards escaped into the woods and his cousin went to chase them. However, those secret guards escaped again and his cousin chased them again. , and then he chased and chased him beyond the scope of his spying?
Chen Hong immediately got off his horse, tied it to a big tree, and walked into the woods alone.

There are all kinds of smells in the woods, including the smell of blood, of course.

Martial arts practitioners are more sensitive to the smell of blood. Although they cannot immediately tell where the blood smell is based on their noses, they can always smell it.

Chen Hong groped around in the woods and used his semi-magical powers to find out where there were blood stains. Finally, he discovered that there were quite a few blood stains in the woods.

Moreover, there are many corpses in the woods.

The number of these corpses far exceeded the 3000 people he had spied on before.Chen Hong was slightly startled and quickly searched the entire forest. Even outside the forest, next to the small Qinghe River, Chen Hong also searched. He re-counted all the corpses and found that there were hundreds more people.

The hundreds more people were also dressed in black, and they must have been Jiang Guo's secret guards.

But, why are there suddenly hundreds more people?

Could it be that there were not one group of Jiang State secret guards, but two groups?

Is the second group a few hundred people, or a few thousand people?
His cousin fought against 3000 people alone, which was enough to worry him. Now that there was a second group of secret guards, did his cousin win or lose?
Cousin... Nothing will happen, right?

Chen Hong was really worried to death and immediately went to search further away.

As a result, blood stains were seen again, as well as more bodies.

Chen Hong, with his heart in a state of confusion, followed the blood trail and found Cuimian Mountain.

The bloodstains disappeared on the cliff of Cuimian Mountain.

Chen Hong stood on the cliff and looked down. There was a strong wind and mist, and he couldn't see anything clearly.

Chen Hong murmured: "Cousin, is this blood your blood or the blood of the thief? Did something happen to you, or are you chasing the secret guards to kill them?"

Chen Hong was worried, and the situation was unclear, so it was difficult for him to jump to conclusions, but in his eyes, his cousin was not something that the secret guards could kill, and it was impossible for his cousin to die.

It's just that he can't find anyone, and he is really not at ease.

After searching all afternoon but finding no one, Chen Hong slept outdoors for one night and continued to search the next day.

After searching for a day but still not finding anyone, Chen Hong thought of Yan Lang.

Yan Lang also has semi-supernatural powers. Maybe Yan Lang can help. It will definitely be too late to find Yan Ning at this time. Moreover, he has military orders and cannot return to Chengyang without authorization.

Exhausted and depressed, Chen Hong returned to the place where his horse was tied and rode back to the city. On the way, due to sleepiness, he took a nap on the horse for a while, and fell off the horse.

I spent the whole night looking for someone last night and barely slept a wink. The night before yesterday, I helped put out the fire and escorted the people. I really didn't sleep all night. I couldn't sleep for two days and two nights. Even if Chen Hong is determined, he can't hold on at this time. .

After falling off the horse, Chen Hong woke up immediately.

He sat on the ground and rubbed the sore spot when he accidentally touched something with his fingers.

Chen Hong grabbed it and saw that it was a sachet.

When he saw the appearance of the sachet, Chen Hong jumped up from the ground.

This is my cousin’s sachet!
After Chen Dongyan received the sachet as a gift from Yan Ning, he kept it hanging on his waist. Chen Hong had been with Chen Dongyan for so long, so he naturally saw the sachet and became familiar with it.

Chen Hong was shocked and confused, why is his cousin's sachet here?
Although Chen Dongyan didn't say anything, Chen Hong could tell that Chen Dongyan liked this sachet very much. Whenever he had something to do, he would touch it a few times, and the expression on his face would soften accordingly.

Chen Hong also joked at that time, asking Chen Dongyan if he had a sweetheart and whether this sachet was a gift from his sweetheart.

Chen Dongyan lowered his eyes slightly, covering the emotions in his eyes, and said slowly: "It's not from my sweetheart, it's from Concubine Yan."

Then he told why Yan Ning gave him such a sachet.

Only then did Chen Hong understand.

But Chen Hong was also puzzled. He always felt that his cousin liked that sachet very much.

Cousin likes Concubine Yan?
impossible!
The reason why my cousin hung the sachet given by Concubine Yan on his waist and looked at it from time to time was because the sachet was very important because there was something in it.

Why did such an important sachet appear in this place?

Chen Hong checked the sachet carefully and found that there were no scratches on the outside of the sachet. He opened the sachet and took a look. There was indeed something inside. It was a small roll of paper, which should be a map.

Chen Hong did not remove the contents without authorization, and tightened the rope again, thinking that Chen Dongyan should have taken the sachet off.

Why did my cousin take off this sachet and throw it here?

Chen Hong put away the sachet, looked around, and then activated his semi-magical power to peek around.

There is nothing around.

Chen Hong was puzzled, so he had to get back on his horse with the sachet and quickly return to the city.

As soon as he returned, Ren Sihai sent someone over.

Chen Hong knew that Ren Sihai and the others were also thinking about his cousin, so he went to report the situation to Ren Sihai.

Ren Sihai frowned and said, "Didn't you find Duhou Chen?"

Chen Hong nodded: "Yes, those corpses should be Jiang Guo's secret guards. They are everywhere. I guess those secret guards couldn't defeat my cousin. They wanted to escape, so my cousin chased him. I don’t know where he went, I couldn’t find him now, but he should be fine.”

The last words were spoken by Chen Hong to himself.

He was eager to find Yan Lang, so he changed the subject again: "Marquis Ren Wu, has everything been settled in the city?"

"Everything is basically settled. I wrote a letter yesterday and sent it to Guiyang City as quickly as possible. Your Majesty will receive a letter with good news by noon at the latest."

Chen Hong said: "In that case, let me take Meng Qingzheng and Guo Xin back to Lanzhou Pass, right? Their situation is unknown, and Yanlang's side may also be worried. They were kidnapped, and Lanzhou Pass's side is also worried. If you are worried, if you go back early, you can also solve the concerns over Lanzhou Pass as soon as possible."

"Aren't you going to continue looking for Chen Duhou?"

Of course, we are looking for it, but the ordinary search methods are useless.

Chen Hong said: "I won't look for him for now. My cousin will come back to me after finishing his work."

Ren Sihai knew that the two cousins ​​had a good relationship. If it was true as Chen Hong said, Chen Dongyan had gone after Jiang Guo's secret guard. There was really no trace of him for a while, and Meng Qingzheng and Guo Xin , is indeed a very key figure.

Guo Xin is from Yanlang, and Meng Qingzheng is following Yanlang. These two people were kidnapped, and their situation is still unknown. Yanlang must still be worried.

Ren Sihai thought for a while and said: "You take a day off. Tomorrow morning, you take Meng Qingzheng and Guo Xin back to Lanzhou Pass and bring them the news of the recovery of Qingjiang Pass. I guess Lanzhou Pass is not far away from victory." ”

Chen Hong really couldn't run around anymore. He needed to rest, so he didn't refuse Ren Sihai's proposal.

Chen Hong found a place to rest, and early the next morning, he took Meng Qingzheng and Guo Xin with him and headed to Lanzhou Pass.
