Qin Shuhuang's face turned ugly.

Liu Renren learned that Xuan Cang had taken people out for hunting an hour ago and brought his old servant Ah Hai over to accompany Qin Shuhuang.

Now two hours have passed, and there is still no news about Xuan Cang and others, and Liu Renren's expression has become equally serious.

The old village chief was afraid that Qin Shuhuang and his party would rob the villagers, so he came over early in the morning to inquire about the news. When he saw that no one had returned, he muttered and sighed.

"Behind our village are deep mountains and old forests, and there are wolves! Why do you think the villagers in our village don't go hunting in winter? That's because in the past few years, some villagers went hunting and disappeared in the mountains. Later in the spring, we sent people to look for them, but only found The bones were found! Experienced old people looked at the bones and said that they encountered wolves in winter and were bitten to death by wolves! You don’t know, those wolves come in groups as soon as they appear. Sometimes there are only six or seven, and sometimes there are ten. There are several of them! They are smarter than humans!"

When the old village chief said this, the people waiting in the room became even more worried.

Qin Shuhuang's hands were clenched tightly under his sleeves, his expression solemn.

The soldiers who were left behind immediately came out and asked, "Your Highness, let us look for it. If the commander and Brother Lu are in trouble, we can help them right now!"

Qin Shuhuang did not immediately nod in agreement. She said to Shilan beside her: "Bring me my cloak and bow and arrows."

Shilan's heart skipped a beat, but she paused and immediately followed the instructions.

Not only did she comply, she also wore a cloak and carried a bow and arrows.

Qin Shuhuang stood up and let Shilan tie the cloak on herself. She ordered in a cold voice: "Choose 20 people to go out with me to search and rescue Xuan Cang and Lu Da."

Liu Renren didn't even expect Qin Shuhuang to go there in person. The guards knew His Highness, so they didn't stop him. They responded in unison, and then immediately went out to organize manpower.

Liu Renren immediately stood up and grabbed Qin Shuhuang's arm, "Your Highness, absolutely not! You are a rich man and cannot take risks. Let me lead the search!"

Qin Shuhuang shook his head with a smile, but his eyes were full of determination, "You are weak and cannot be exposed to the cold. Besides, everyone who goes out is my personal guard. If I don't look for my people, no one will be willing to follow me in the future. Don't worry, I will be careful, you can wait here for me to come back."

After saying that, Qin Shuhuang took out his arm and took Shilan to gather his guards in the yard.

Just when Qin Shuhuang was about to take people out to look for Xie Xuanye and his party, Luda quickly ran back with two people!

Liu Renren breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Ruda. Fortunately...fortunately he's back. At least the eldest princess doesn't have to take risks.

Qin Shuhuang frowned when he saw that only Luda was with two soldiers, "Where is Xuan Cang?"

Luda knew that what His Highness cared about most was their commander Xuan Cang. He quickly ran two steps to Qin Shuhuang and gasped: "Your Highness, the Commander is fine. He and his people are a cup of tea away from here." We found a team with a lot of supplies, and it looked like a caravan from Beidi people. The leader asked his subordinates to come back and organize the brothers to rob the Beidi caravan."

When Luda said this, Qin Shuhuang's tense mood instantly relaxed.

He let out a sigh of relief and quickly remembered the "Beidi Caravan" that Ruda said.

How could a Beidi caravan pass by in this weather and this time?

But since it was Beidi's caravan, she and Xie Xuanye had the same idea. Since they bumped into their guns, they would not be polite.

"Hurry up and select the people you need, and then rush to help!" Qin Shuhuang said to Luda.

Ruda handed over his hand and picked his men neatly.

In this case, Qin Shuhuang took Shilan and the remaining guards back to the house.

After Luda took the people away, Qin Shuhuang selected 15 more people as a reserve force. If Xie Xuanye and Ruda still needed people, she would send these 15 more people to meet them.People are insignificant in front of nature, no matter they are good people or bad people.

At this moment, Gu Hongchao was leading his team walking in the heavy wind and snow. Fortunately, he was well prepared and deliberately separated from the Beidi envoy, Tisang and others, so the journey went smoothly.

Apart from the unfavorable weather heading north, we encountered no other surprises.

Even though he was well prepared, Gu Hongchao never expected that the weather in the northern winter would be so bad.

Originally, he planned to stay in the county seat for a few more days, but he was afraid that he arrived at Xiagong City too late and missed the opportunity. He could only take advantage of the lighter snow in the previous few days and set off urgently.

This is not far from Beidi. In recent years, Dawu's northern territory has been frequently plundered by Beidi people, especially Dawu's major caravans.

On the other hand, Beidi's caravans doing business in Dawu had a much easier time, and they often made a lot of money.

For the sake of accident and safety, Gu Hongchao ordered his team to pretend to be the Beidi caravan.

Originally, the purpose of his team was to sneak into Beidi, so naturally there were real Beidi people in the team who were bribed by him.

So it is not difficult to pretend to be a Beidi caravan.

In order to look more like them, they purchased a lot of supplies in the county.

After successfully arriving at Xiagong City, they can sell the remaining supplies and earn the difference. If they encounter difficulties on the road, these supplies can temporarily support them.

It has to be said that they brought the right supplies by mistake.

There has been a violent snowstorm in the past few days, and their convoy was moving very slowly. If it weren't for these supplies, which kept everyone fed, they would have been buried in the snowstorm.

There are two leaders in the convoy, one is Batu from Beidi, and the other is Bao San, the guide from the northern border of Dawu.

Batu used to be the steward of the Beidi nobles, but now he is ostensibly the chief steward of the caravan.

Bao San used to be an escort in Aucheng. He is in his 40s and has a scar on his face. Now he is the second manager of the caravan.

In the wind and snow, the convoy struggled to move forward. Gu Hongchao, who was sitting in the carriage, asked Bao San to get in the carriage and talk.

"Young Master, what do you want from your subordinates?" Bao San asked as he got on the carriage.

Even sitting in the carriage was not comfortable at all.

At this time, what Gu Hongchao missed most was Bai Lingge's bed in Gu Mansion.

Only when he actually went out to do errands did he realize how rare it was to have a happy life in Beijing.

After running around in the cold for days, Gu Hongchao's hands also suffered from frostbite. He was wrapped like a bear with a charcoal basin beside him. He asked Bao San, "The wind and snow are too strong. If this continues, we won't be able to survive for a few days." , are there any villages or towns nearby where we can rest temporarily?”

Bao San ran escorts in the three places of Border, Xiagong City and Aucheng, and he was very familiar with the maps of these three places.

After thinking for a while, he said: "Back to the young master, there is a small mountain village about ten miles away from us. The conditions are not very good, but it is no problem to avoid the wind and snow for the time being. If you don't want to stay here, you have to walk another sixty or seventy miles. To the nearest county seat."

Gu Hongchao slightly opened the carriage curtain, which had long been replaced by a thick felt blanket, and an extremely cold wind and snow poured in instantly, dispersing all the warmth that had been accumulated in the carriage. (End of chapter)
