Emperor Qingming was about to say something when he suddenly heard the faint sound of horse hooves coming from the direction of the forest.
Many people, including Zhen Guogong and Wu Chao, turned their heads to look.
Not long after, a horse ran out of the forest and appeared in everyone's sight.
But the horse's back was empty, and no one was there.
"Whose horse is this?"
"Could it be from Minister Ji?"
Behind the bamboo curtain, Xu Mingyi's eyes suddenly changed.
That is the horse of tomorrow!
This horse's name is Wu Xue, and it was a birthday gift from Mingshi when she was eight years old——
The boy kept saying that he hated her, but he always valued the things she gave him. The horse had stayed with him for several years and had been raised to a certain level of intelligence. Going out to the forest alone at this time may not be a sign of news.
Coming!
Duke Zhenguo had obviously recognized Wu Xue. At this time, he said sternly to Emperor Qingming: "Your Majesty, this is my grandson's horse! Your Majesty, please allow me to go to the mountains to look for this person!"
"Don't be anxious, sir." Emperor Qingming comforted him with a gentle expression: "There is nothing too dangerous in the mountains, and there are forbidden troops patrolling. Maybe the child was attracted by something. When he dismounted and walked around, the horse
He ran out by himself——"
Listening to these nonsense words that only wasted time, the Duke of Zhenguo said again: "What your Majesty said is reasonable. Please allow your Majesty to allow me to enter the mountain."
These words had the meaning of "Yes, you are right, but I don't want to hear it." Emperor Qingming nodded directly this time, and ordered Li Ji to appoint more than ten people to accompany the Duke of Zhen into the mountains to search for
people.
"Before I left the mountain, my nephew met Young Master Xu in front of a bush. He might be able to help him--" Wu Chao took a step forward, raised his hand and said to Emperor Qingming.
After hearing this, Emperor Qingming thought for a moment and then nodded: "Then A Yuan will go into the mountains with Duke Zhen. Remember to be careful."
"yes."
Wu Chao got on his horse and went into the forest with Zhen Guo Gong.
Looking at the two silhouettes that quickly disappeared into the forest, Xu Mingyi was still uneasy.
She knows Mingshi very well.
Therefore, I am very convinced that since he did not get out of the woods in time and lost his horse, something must have happened.
But what exactly happened? Is the incident minor or serious, and is it dangerous? It is not yet certain.
Looking at the eunuch guards who followed them into the mountain? Xu Mingyi frowned.
What use can these more than ten people be put to?
In the forest, after the eunuch guards who were following him were far away, Duke Zhenguo asked Wu Chao: "Wu Shisun has really seen my grandson?"
Wu Chao shook his head: "Sorry? I have never seen this."
Why did he say that just now? It was just to have a reason to follow him into the mountains to look for someone.
If he directly said that he wanted to help, the emperor would be suspicious that he was too enthusiastic about the government.
Of course, even with this reason, the emperor would definitely think too much based on his morality? But for him now? Not everything needs to be calculated to the most precise degree.
Duke Zhen Guo had already guessed this possibility, and at this time he only said: "Thank you very much Wu Shisun. In that case, you and I will look for each other separately. I will go to the west, and you will go to the east."
Wu Chao nodded? But he didn’t change direction in a hurry. Instead, he put his fingers under his lips and made a loud whistle——
He remembers? Today, Tianmu followed Mingshi into the forest.
When it comes to finding people in the mountains and forests, the Third Eye is obviously better at it.
Hear this whistle echoing in the mountains and forests? The Duke of Zhen also reined in the reins for a moment and paid attention to the movements around him.
However, the wind was still and the leaves stopped? No sound was heard.
Wu Chao blew the whistle again.
This time? Still no movement.
"I'm afraid something happened to Tianmu -" Looking at the dense forest ahead? Wu Chao's eyes became solemn.
Growing up, ever since Tianmu learned to fly, whenever he heard his whistle, he would definitely appear in front of him, without exception.
Because this whistle has an irresistible meaning to it——
As long as the whistle sounds, it means it is ready to eat again.
When the Duke of Zhen heard this, his expression also changed.
Something wrong with the third eye is the same as something happening tomorrow...
"General." Wu Chao said seriously: "If an accident really happens, we must not delay even a moment longer. This mountain forest is not only huge and complex in shape, but a dozen people are far from enough. We need to explain the situation to the emperor and send more immediately."
Search the mountain with human hands.”
The Duke of Zhen nodded.
Of course he knows this.
Even at the moment he decided to enter the mountain, he had the idea of searching the mountain, but the emperor only sent a dozen people. The situation was unclear, and he could not say anything. And this time he followed Hu Chun Shou, and he had many people around him.
Not many, only about twenty people including Yunliu.
But under the current circumstances, it was no longer possible not to speak to the emperor.
At this time Yun Liu had already followed.
"Go and report to your majesty - the situation is not good, and I hope your majesty will send more people to help me find the person!" the Duke of Zhenguo ordered.
"yes!"
Yun Liu's face straightened, he immediately turned his horse's head and left the forest.
Seeing Uncle Yun Liu coming back and saying something in front of the emperor, the emperor made a solemn expression and immediately ordered Lu Yuan beside him. Xu Mingyi could no longer sit still.
"His Majesty."
She stood up and left her seat, came to Emperor Qingming, saluted, and said: "I also want to go into the forest to look for someone, please allow your Majesty's permission."
Looking at the girl in front of him, Emperor Qingming looked troubled and said warmly: "Miss Xu is a girl. If she rushes into the forest, I'm afraid it will cause General Xu to worry even more..."
"Your Majesty, don't worry. I barely know how to protect myself. Even if I can't help, I won't cause trouble."
Seeing how stubborn she was, Emperor Qingming could only nod his head, and to show his benevolence, he ordered two more eunuchs to accompany her.
However, the two eunuchs soon discovered that they could not help at all.
I thought the girl must be walking into the mountain, but unexpectedly the girl called out "Wuxue" and the black horse ran over.
The girl jumped onto the horse with a neat movement, her apricot gauze dress, moon-white skirt and black hair flying up, and she quickly disappeared under the golden afternoon sun.
Prince Jing, who had just sat down next to King Jing, blinked his eyes in confusion, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses.
Seeing that his son seemed to be about to stand up, King Jing held his son's wrist vigilantly.
The discussion was low and noisy. King Jing lowered his voice and asked, "What do you want to do again?"
"Father, I also want to help General Xu...Xu find someone!"
"...You sitting here will be the biggest help!"
When will my son see clearly the fact that he is a waste?!
Don't tell him that children need encouragement and can't be beaten all the time - he chases after them all day long and hits them like this! Besides, can this be called hitting? It's completely true.
Under the gaze of his father, who said "If you dare to go, I will break your legs", Crown Prince Jing said very wisely: "My father does not allow my son to go, so my father will send someone to go. How many people will I have?"
