Just as he was talking, several envoys from the Western Kingdom hurried over and said anxiously: "Princess, Prince, and the second prince are lost and have not been found yet. We must send more people into the woods to search for him as soon as possible.
But the people brought by Xiguoguo are not enough, I hope the princess and the prince can lend some people to search with me, please."
Bai Yuxian and Ye Fuxun looked at each other. Although they had doubts about this matter, since the other party had asked for help, they could not just sit idly by and ignore it.
So Bai Yuxian ordered: "Long Bin, divide half of our people and assign them to a few adults, and go with them to find the second prince."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Several envoys thanked them and left in a hurry.
Bai Yuxian frowned and waited for a short time, then said: "Long Bin, you and the rest of the people stay here to protect the princess. Gong Yun and I will also go out and look for her."
He always felt that something was wrong. Yu Xiunan was an extremely smart person, and it was impossible for him to get lost and fall into danger so easily, even if something happened.
"I'll go too!" Ye Fuxun said hurriedly.
"No, it's dangerous in the woods. If you stay here, I'll feel more at ease with Long Bin protecting you."
"But you..."
"Don't worry, with my skills and Gong Yun, I can handle it even if I encounter a wild beast. There will be no problem." Bai Yuxian comforted Ye Fuxun.
"The second prince must not let anything happen on his way back, otherwise he will not be able to explain to the Emperor of the West."
Ye Fuxun knew what he said made sense, so he nodded: "Okay, then you should be careful."
"Don't go away, wait for me to come back." Bai Yuxian finished the instruction and rushed to the woods with Gong Yun.
At this time, only half of the people brought by Bai Yuxian were left in the camp. Except for one or two elderly ministers, everyone else in the Western Kingdom's mission was dispatched, and it was extremely quiet for a while.
Ye Fuxun was sitting by the fire, frowning in deep thought. Occasionally, he could hear the howling of wolves in the distance.
She was thinking, how could Yu Xiunan, such a shrewd person, not even know the road? Besides, although the woods are not far from here, they are still more than a hundred miles away. If you just relieve yourself, you can't go that far.
Bar?
In addition, he is a prince and knows that there are wild beasts roaming around at night. How could his subordinates let him go far away alone?
Could it be that Yu Xiunan was not lost in the woods and that there was another hidden story behind the matter?
A terrible thought suddenly flashed into Ye Fuxun's mind. Her eyebrows twitched, she stood up suddenly and said "no" twice.
Long Bin asked in surprise: "Princess, what are you saying is wrong?"
"The second prince is probably not lost. He wants to deal with the prince!" Ye Fuxun said hurriedly, "Long Bin, hurry, we have to go to the woods to find the prince."
Long Bin also panicked, but then remembered the prince's instructions and hesitated: "But the prince has ordered that, princess, you cannot leave the camp."
"The prince is in danger, how can I stay here peacefully?" Ye Fuxun picked up a sword and left.
Long Bin had no choice but to lead the others to follow.
A group of people held torches and entered the woods.
Ye Fuxun was worried about Bai Yuxian and walked very fast. Long Bin and others were closely surrounding her. At the same time, they had to pay attention to the surrounding movements in case wild wolves, tigers and other wild beasts suddenly rushed out, so as to protect her.
The trees in the forest were dense and completely blocked the moonlight, so it was darker inside than outside. Without torches, it would have been impossible to move forward.
So many people have entered this forest just now, and it only took a moment for a stick of incense to be made. Now there is no sound or trace left, which shows that the forest is very large and wide.
This is what Ye Fuxun is worried about. In such a large forest, it is difficult to find people, and even if there is a fight, it is difficult to be discovered.
If Yu Xiunan really deliberately lured Bai Yuxian here, he must have set a trap in advance. When Bai Yuxian was unprepared, it would be difficult for him to fight back...
The more Ye Fuxun thought about it, the more frightened and anxious he became, so much so that he didn't notice his feet and almost tripped over a stone.
"Princess, your prince is a lucky man and everything will be fine. Don't worry too much." Long Bin comforted her.
Ye Fuxun only wanted to find Bai Yuxian quickly, but he couldn't hear anything.
After walking for about a cup of tea, I finally saw the light of fire ahead. Long Bin waved his hand and made a gesture of silence. Everyone stopped and vaguely heard the sound of swords clashing.
Ye Fuxun was shocked and hurriedly ran forward. When she and Long Bin arrived, they saw a group of people holding torches and a dozen dead bodies dressed in black lying on the ground. There was blood on the ground.
It looked strange and unusual under the firelight.
Ye Fuxun saw Bai Yuxian in the crowd at a glance, ran over quickly, and checked his condition. "Are you okay? Are you injured?"
Bai Yuxian looked at her in surprise and asked, "Why are you here? Didn't I ask you to stay in the camp?"
"I thought you were in danger, so I came to find you." Ye Fuxun was still uneasy, and suddenly saw blood on the front of Bai Yuxian's clothes, and immediately panicked, "Are you injured?"
Bai Yuxian comforted her: "This is not my blood. I'm fine. It was the second prince who was injured."
Hearing this, Ye Fuxun breathed a sigh of relief, and then turned to look at Yu Xiunan, who was being supported by two attendants. She couldn't help but be surprised. She originally thought that Yu Xiunan was going to kill Bai Yuxian, but why was he injured at this moment?
But is it Yu Xiunan?
Also, what’s going on with the men in black on the ground?
"What happened? How could the Second Emperor Brother be injured?"
Yu Xiunan was seriously injured. He was stabbed several times with swords all over his body. He lost a lot of blood and passed out at this time.
Bai Yuxian explained: "Just now when I heard the sound of fighting and chased after him, I saw the second prince being besieged by a group of men in black. It seemed that they were here to take his life."
Yu Xiunan was brought back to the camp and received prompt treatment. His life was no longer in danger. He just lost too much blood and was still in a coma. He didn't wake up until the next day.
Bai Yuxian and Ye Fuxun had nothing to do, so they played around for a while. After lunch, Ye Fuxun went to visit Yu Xiunan.
Yu Xiunan's body is wrapped in bandages and she is lying on the bed. She cannot get up and move around yet.
"Brother Er Huang, how are you? Are you feeling better?"
Yu Xiunan raised her lips slightly, a smile appeared on her pale face, and said weakly: "Much better, thank you Sixth Sister for your concern."
"You disappeared suddenly yesterday, which made everyone anxious. We thought you were lost, but we didn't expect you to be entangled by the group of men in black."
Yu Xiunan's eyes suddenly dimmed, exuding a faint cold light.
Ye Fuxun asked tentatively: "Second brother, do you know the origins of those people? Who wants to take your life?"
