Book Thirty: Peace Letter
After leading the guards of Prince Rong's mansion to search for most of the treasure mountain, Qian Heng, who still found nothing, looked ashen and frowned.
The wound he taught the killer on his shoulder was bandaged randomly, with blood stains.
However, the anxiety and annoyance in his heart at this moment made him feel more painful than a wound.
The princess entrusted him with the important task of protecting the county lord, but not only did he not protect the county lord, but she finally risked the risk of saving them and others!
He knew the reason why Zhao Chonghuan led the killer to the Gem Mountain: she was afraid that the old man would kill him indiscriminately by the road and injured the lives of the guards of the Rong Prince's Mansion and the innocent people!
And the so-called illness child was the old man stole it from a family to use a trick!
They were all cheated!
It also implicated the county lord!
Thinking of this, Qian Heng became more and more angry and then he couldn't help but punch the thick tree trunk on one side. Suddenly, the leaves were like rain, swaying and falling.
At this time, his capable subordinate Cheng Ya rushed over panting.
"Conductor, there are traces of people fighting over there, and the branches and leaves around them are also damaged!" he said loudly.
Qian Heng was excited when he heard this, and he didn't care about the pain in his chest wound and grabbed him: "Where? Take me to see!"
Cheng Ya hurriedly led Qian Heng to inspect.
When he arrived at the place, Qian Heng raised the torch with his own hands to investigate—
As Cheng Ya said, there are several traces of fighting here!
Here, the footprints were mixed and chaotic, with gravels scattered and bloodstained. Some of the surrounding trees were also cracked and hung pitifully in the air, shaking.
He reached out and rubbed a broken branch, pondering: "The broken branches and leaves are very fresh, and there is juice. It seems that they have just finished it!"
Cheng Ya also echoed: "Yes, this place is very damaged, and the people who want to fight are not low in martial arts!"
He had been in charge of the guards behind the palace before, but he didn't expect such a big mistake in front of the guards!
After being a guard of the Rong Palace for so many years, it has always been safe and sound. Whenever the Rong Palace travels, the people will avoid it themselves and have never encountered an extremely dangerous situation!
Unexpectedly, tonight, Lin'an Mansion was bustling, and someone at the foot of the dignified emperor dared to take advantage of the night to assassinate the county lord Jiayun who had just lost and recovered, and really borrowed the courage to splash the sky from God!
Qian Heng kowtowed tightly: "The killer is indeed very powerful in martial arts, obviously he is not an ordinary villain! The county lord took risks alone and took his life away in order not to let us die!"
Although he also heard that Zhao Chonghuan possessed peerless martial arts skills, she was just a girl after all, and she woke up from a serious illness and was weak. No matter how good her martial arts were, she was definitely not the opponent of the old killer!
What's more, when they were confronting each other, Qian Heng could see that Zhao Chonghuan was trying his best to fight the old man!
"Prince of the County, where are you?" He waved the torch at a loss and looked around, "If you have any accidents, Bei Zhi should really apologize for his death!"
Cheng Ya looked at Qian Heng with a worried look on his face.
When they were covering their heads and turning into chaos, suddenly Chengya felt a faint light flash in front of them, and then they saw a black flower-shaped dart shaking brightly on the trunk of the tree next to them.
"Commander! Look!" Cheng Ya couldn't help but scream.
Qian Heng, who was facing away from him, turned around suddenly and looked in the sound, his eyebrows suddenly jumped a few times.
Cheng Ya took the lead in running over and pulling down the flower dart, and there was a piece of yellow cotton paper on it.
"What did you write?" Qian Heng rushed over with great strides.
Cheng Ya couldn't take a closer look, so he quickly handed it over.
Qian Heng snatched the yellow cotton paper and swept his eyes away—
Cheng Ya also came up to see it, with a few words on the paper, and he looked happy: "So the county lord is fine? Could someone save her?"
Qian Heng held the thin paper, and the blue veins on the back of his hand were raised, and he didn't know if he could believe what was said on the paper for a while.
"Commander, no matter whether we believe what we say on the paper or not, we can only believe it for the time being! Since the other party said that the county lord would come back tomorrow, then we will search for it one by one in Lin'an Prefecture. When it is dawn, we may meet the county lord!" Cheng Ya cheered up with all his might.
Now that the county lord is missing, they have no face to return to the royal palace to report their lives, so they can only wait for a night without sleep!
Qian Heng did not speak for a moment, but turned around and patroled around again. After a moment of silence, he said: "Send someone to send this letter back to the palace, and we will continue to search!"
