Houfu poisonous girl can't be bullied

Chapter 157 Traces
After arguing for a long time, Li Chucheng and Ye Xuan refused to give in. When they were staring at each other, a guard came up, holding a rag in his hand and said: "Your Highness, I found this on a pine tree under the cliff. !"

Ye Xuan snatched it quickly with sharp eyes, took a look at it and said with certainty: "This is Ling Yue's skirt!"

The clothes are here, so the people must not be far away, maybe they are waiting in some cave for them to rescue.

"Come on, get some more long ropes!" Li Chucheng turned his head and ordered, and the moment he turned his head, Ye Xuan jumped off the cliff.

"Hello!" Li Chucheng turned pale with shock, and stretched out his hand to pull it, but it was in vain.

Ye Xuan landed lightly like a blue butterfly, and Li Chucheng was relieved after watching her land steadily on a tree, "Be careful!"

"Shut up!" Ye Xuan was not polite, looked around, and jumped down step by step after finding nothing suspicious.

When they arrived at the pine tree where Murong Jing and Chu Lingyue were hung, Ye Xuan also found the cave and jumped in after groaning.

In the cave, she found Murong Jing's torn clothes, which were still stained with dried blood.

Ye Xuan looked around, but found no trace of anyone, and walked inside, only to find that there was no way to go.

In desperation, she had no choice but to retreat.Back on the cliff, Ye Xuan's expression was a little strange.Li Chucheng assumed that she was frightened, and reached out to pull but was pushed away by him.

"What's the matter? What did you see?" Li Chucheng realized that nothing would happen because he was frightened before he remembered that he must have seen something extraordinary.

Ye Xuan raised her head, her eyes were reddened, "I'm afraid it's a bad luck for them..."

Li Chucheng was stunned for a moment, and Li Chucheng didn't know how to comfort him.After searching for so many days, if it is really unscathed, I am afraid that I will go back a long time ago. Do I need to wait until now?

"Maybe, they're just stuck somewhere."

"No, I tried it just now. With my cousin's ability, he can definitely land at the place where I landed for the first time with ease. However, the place where he landed is even lower. This can only show that my cousin must have been injured or physically weak at the time. No. Even with Ling Yue, with my cousin's usual kung fu, he won't be exhausted."

Ye Xuan forced back her tears and bit her lower lip firmly.Li Chucheng rubbed her head distressedly, and said softly: "With me here, I won't let him have trouble."

"It's God's will. When I went down, I found a lot of traces of boulders rolling. You might as well go up and see who did it. Cousin is not on the west mountain, so he might be taken away."

Slapping Li Chucheng's hand away, Ye Xuan took a deep breath, trying to calm down the turbulent emotions in her heart.She had a good relationship with Murong Jing since she was a child, and she was more anxious than anyone else when something happened to Murong Jing, and now she is just holding on.

"Okay, you've worked hard these two days, why don't you go back and rest early, and leave these things to me." After being photographed, Li Chucheng was also somewhat satisfied, and being able to beat someone meant that things were not that bad .

Ye Xuan agreed, got up and went back.Li Chucheng asked people to search around, and he sent him back himself.There was such a large-scale assassination on Xishan, but it was not discovered in advance, and Dong Yan was inevitably scolded.After Li Fengyi scolded someone, his anger still persisted, and he had to find out who did it if he was asked to see people die and corpses within three days!
Dong Yan looked around for a long time with his tail between his legs, looking forward to the stars and the moon all day long, waiting for Bai Aoshuang to wake up, but Bai Aoshuang seemed to be dead without any sign of waking up.He also guessed that the fire in the humble residence was aimed at Bai Aoshuang, and he was even more looking forward to waking Bai Aoshuang up.

Meng Yanhe seldom went out since that day, but whenever he went out he made sure to come to Zhenyanghou's other courtyard.Dong Yuran and her watched for a long time but did not see Bai Aoshuang waking up, and they were also in a hurry.

On the way back, Ye Xuan stopped by to see Bai Aoshuang, checked his pulse for him and said he was fine, the two of them were relieved.

Seeing Dong Yan, Ye Xuan recounted what she found on the cliff.

"General, it's better to search the mountain in a large area and inspect it carefully. Since the assassins dare to go to such a large scale to log and quarry, there should be many people. The West Mountain is so big. If you search carefully, you will definitely find some clues."

"Thank you, Ms. Ye, for your pointers!" Dong Yan quickly thanked, and made people prepare to search for the places that had been logged.

After telling Dong Yan these things, Ye Xuan finally returned to Jingcheng Hou's other courtyard.

Li Chucheng also went to report after sending Ye Xuan back, but Li Fengyi just nodded and didn't say anything.Before leaving, he suddenly asked Li Chucheng a question: "For so many years, I have ignored you, don't you have any complaints?"

Li Chucheng turned his head and smiled, looking a little shy, "Although the father has not asked too much about my ministers for so many years, the clothes, food, housing and transportation of the sons are all given by the father. Reading in the study, It is also the master personally arranged by the father. Father, you are very kind to me."

"But, if it wasn't for your second brother..." At this point, Li Fengyi was a little bit speechless, and he also felt ashamed.If Li Chujun hadn't defected to the enemy and rebelled, I'm afraid he would never have thought that there was such a son as Li Chucheng.

"Father, maybe the second brother was just an unintentional mistake, or maybe he was troubled by his subordinates." Li Chucheng still maintained the appearance that I didn't know anything, and for Li Chujun, he also begged for mercy if he could.

Of course, Li Fengyi didn't believe his pleading. How could his son, whom he had raised for more than ten years, not know?Whether there is, he is still very clear.

"Forget it, you'd better go down. If you are not familiar with the affairs of the official department, you can ask me more." Li Fengyi waved his hand and let him go down.

Li Chucheng left without saying anything.

He was enlightened much later than the other princes. The crown prince was enlightened at the age of three, and the second prince was also three years old, but he did not have a decent tutor until he was eight years old. Relying on his own power, so even if Li Fengyi has favor with him now, he doesn't dare to make enemies at will.

There's no way, who made his mother just a daughter-in-law, and didn't get a decent position until she died.

If the former crown prince hadn't seen him in Hexiu Palace when he was five years old, he might not be able to make a book in the clan mansion.

Li Fengyi didn't like this son when he saw him for the first time. He couldn't speak fluently at the age of five, he stuttered, he was timid, and he didn't have the grandeur and extravagance of a prince at all. If it wasn't for his own son, I'm afraid it would have been thrown out long ago.

On the contrary, the crown prince liked him very much, and kept him with him for a few years. When he was eight years old, he asked to find a grand tutor for him.

Now that Li Chucheng is sixteen, he finally has the appearance that a normal prince should have.

But compared to Li Chujun, he still lacks a lot.

After leaving the palace gate, Li Chucheng went to Xishan again.Ye Xuan said that quarrying rocks and cutting trees is definitely not something that one or two people can do.

Dong Yan has been guarding Xishan for a long time, and he believes that Dong Yan will never let people in at will.Therefore, it can only be someone who was originally on the West Mountain.

This time when I came to Xishan to escape the summer heat, every household brought servants. However, the servants are too obvious, and walking around on the mountain will definitely attract people's eyes and ears.

Not eye-catching, but also quarrying rocks and logging, I'm afraid you have to be a soldier.

If it was really a soldier, whose would it be?
Those who brought soldiers to escape the summer heat included a few military lords and the Imperial Forest Army from the imperial palace.The soldiers of the Marquis are all dressed similarly, so others may not be able to tell.The dress of the Imperial Forest Army is different, but the Imperial Forest Army has a very strict system and will never run around in Xishan.

Then, it's a soldier.

It seems that it is time to investigate the situation of the soldiers in the military marquis' mansion.

But Li Chucheng always felt that things would never be so simple.

The mountain village was not so quiet. Brother Luo said that there were many strange people around these two days, and those people did not look like soldiers from Zhenyanghou.

"The second prince can't hold back any longer. These should be the shadow guards that he secretly arranged to go up the mountain." After hearing this, Murong Jing hesitated for a moment, feeling a little worried.

He has been lying in paralysis for several days. Although he takes medicine every day, it may take a while to recover.If the second prince's people came to kill him during this period, they would be hard to resist just relying on Brother Luo.

He has fought against those assassins, and he knows how powerful those assassins are in martial arts.

"I think so, but they have been observing from a distance, presumably because they don't know our strength, so they dare not act rashly." Brother Luo thinks it is true. There are only ten or twenty of them, and when the chaos really breaks out, these unarmed people will definitely be affected.

"They came here to look for us. If we leave, wouldn't they be safe?" Chu Lingyue came in with tea, her hand was bright red.

"Is it hot?" Murong Jing frowned. In the past few days, Chu Lingyue had either knocked or touched her. Her small hands had long lost the tenderness they had in Weiyuan Houfu.

It would be a lie to say that I don't feel distressed, but there is nothing Murong Jing can do now.

"Well, a spark jumped up." Chu Lingyue smiled indifferently, and continued with what she just said, "Those people are worried about the gossip formation outside and don't know your strength, so they dare not act rashly , but if we go out, their attention will be elsewhere and it will be safe here."

"No! You can't leave! Young Master is in such a state now, if you leave, how far can you go? If you leave Zhuangzi, they will have to be captured alive!" Brother Luo disagreed, and rejected Chu Lingyue's opinion with one sentence. .

"Brother Luo, I didn't say we have to go." Chu Lingyue looked at him amusedly, and Murong Jing understood what she meant, and silently explained.

"Ling Yue means to find two people to pretend to be us, and then give the outsiders the illusion that we are leaving. People who pretend to be us hide in jungles and caves, or hide so that they can't find them, or come to a fake death !"

After a pause, Murong Jing remembered something, "The second prince probably doesn't have so much time and energy to spend on this. He didn't bring so many people with him when he came to Xishan this time, and assassinating us was just his plan." The first step, so once we have our results, he will stop!"
