Xiao Jue ignored him. He looked at the topographic map of Qingzhou and found the river at the foot of Huyue Ridge: "This is it."
Qin Junyan saw that the river flowed along the mountains and crossed the entire Qingzhou. He asked: "Where does the river go after it leaves Qingzhou?"
Prefect Zhou looked at the river they were pointing to and stammered: "This... this is the Qingjiang River. After it leaves Qingzhou, it has three branches, one leads to Bianzhou in the west, and the other leads to the east.
From Haicheng, there is another road leading to the capital...the capital."
Qin Junyan asked: "Is there a topographic map of Beichen river distribution?"
"Yes, yes."
The prefect Zhou took a river distribution map and gave it to them.
Qin Junyan found the Qingjiang River on the map. After leaving Qingzhou, this river divided into three tributaries: east, west, and north.
He said: "Send people to search along the lower reaches of these three tributaries. I will send a message to the regent."
Xiao Jue nodded. He looked at the map on the table, and then looked at Magistrate Zhou, who was full of anger.
Prefect Zhou shrank his neck in fear, feeling very regretful, but he couldn't understand why the young master of the general's mansion was traveling alone with his child, without even a bodyguard.
But he didn't dare to ask any more questions.
Qin Junyan came back after delivering the letter and said to Xiao Jue: "Let's go."
Xiao Jue took away the river map, turned around and left the government office, leaving Qingzhou City.
It's getting dark.
Xiao Youan and Shen Rui were sitting on a wooden board, floating along the river.
At that time, the carriage rolled over the cliff, fell into the water, and immediately fell apart.
Shen Rui hugged Xiao Miaoer tightly and dragged her out of the water, but he couldn't float, and due to the nightmare in the past, he almost drowned. It was Youan who dragged him to a wooden board.
And Xiao Miaoer also choked on some water and was still asleep.
The three of them were sitting on a wooden table, surrounded by the vast darkness.
Shen Rui held Xiao Miao'er in his arms, tears falling one by one. He asked: "You'an, are we going to die?"
Xiao Youan said: "What nonsense are you talking about? We fell from such a high cliff and were still alive. How could we die so easily?"
Shen Rui cried: "But my sister is dying. Her breathing is getting weaker and weaker. I'm afraid she won't be able to hold on."
Xiao Youan felt very heavy. He patted Shen Rui on the shoulder and said, "No, she will definitely survive."
Shen Rui cried guiltily: "Why should I steal her out, why should I abandon her?
It was all me, I was the one who harmed her. She should have been happy as her young lady, pampered by her parents, carefree, but because of my one thought, she suffered a lot of torture.
You'an, I know it's wrong, I really know it's wrong, what should I do to save her?"
Xiao You'an felt a little embarrassed, and said: "If you want to save her, you must save yourself first. I believe Xiao Miao'er can hear your voice. Talk to her."
Shen Rui lowered his head and looked at the person in his arms with blurred vision. He said in a choked voice: "Xiao Miao'er, please, you must persevere.
It was my brother who was wrong. Can you forgive me? My brother will buy you lots of delicious food. My brother will protect you and watch you grow up, okay?"
Xiao Miaoer seemed to have heard his voice, and the vague voice shouted: "Brother."
Shen Rui was stunned. He hugged Xiao Miaoer with great joy and said, "Brother is here, brother is here."
Xiao Miao'er's eyelashes fluttered, and her whole body felt extremely uncomfortable. She groaned twice, and then fell asleep again.
