The next day, the sky was cloudless and the earth was peaceful.
Since no one came to attack the Angel tribe, Zha Liangjie tried his best and failed to find any clues around the hill in the north.
"Can't even find a hair or a drop of blood on Shunzi?" A clan elder couldn't help but question.
"I apologize for my incompetence." Zha Liangjie lowered his head in embarrassment.
He not only brought two teams of men but also more than ten of the best hunting dogs. However, he searched the hills in the north for twenty miles and couldn't find anything out of the ordinary.
"impossible……"
While the clan elder was drooling, Zha Liangjie couldn't help but look up at the sky.
If it weren't for the fact that Shunzi's vigorous figure was no longer visible in the sky, otherwise he would have doubted whether he had been deceived yesterday.
well.
After a while, the elder finally gave up.
He sighed helplessly and said sincerely: "This time the opponent will definitely be more difficult than the last time. Everyone should show their eyes to me. Don't make the same mistake as last time."
"Yes." All the guards nodded quickly.
But on the evening of the third day.
The same dusk, the same encounter.
Gua!!
After a scream, another eagle fell more than thirty miles west of the Angel tribe.
From then on, his life and death were unknown.
Dry!
Angel's entire tribe was in a state of excitement.
Losing a top eagle is acceptable, maybe the opponent is just passing by.
But losing two in a row is unbearable.
This is clearly Chi Guoguo's provocation.
In an instant, without any orders from the clan chief or clan elders, more than five hundred young Angels riding on horseback took the lead, leading hundreds of hunting dogs, rolling up thick dust and smoke, and headed westward with murderous intent.
So many people and dogs searched all night.
At noon the next day, they returned to the tribe dejectedly with red eyes, but found nothing.
"Impossible!" An Wenkang almost jumped up, "Is the other party a human or a ghost?"
Even if it was a ghost, so many people and dogs would search it like a carpet, and it would frighten him.
Ren Ning didn't know how the tribes below were so chaotic.
They had returned to the north of Angel, hiding under a large hidden rock, and roasting new eagle meat leisurely.
"Brewed." Lei Er spat towards the south angrily, "As for that."
In order to search for them, Angel actually dispatched so many people and dogs that the entire grassland was in uproar.
If the two of them hadn't been habitually vigilant and kept observing the movements of the tribe below, they would have been almost unable to escape from their encirclement.
Ren Ning tore off a piece of eagle meat and said vaguely: "It means these eagles are far more important to Angel than we think."
Therefore, take all the trouble to get rid of them one by one.
After eating and drinking enough and feeding their mounts, the two began to take turns to rest.
At noon, Ren Ning opened his eyes.
Although he escaped all night, he was in good spirits again after a morning's rest.
"You go to sleep, I'll keep an eye on you." Ren Ning said.
Lei Er nodded and looked around for a place with backlight.
"It's been so long, and it's almost midsummer again. I wonder if the Luoxia Mountains have been opened?" he said.
"Yes." Ren Ning nodded.
The Ministry of War or Emperor Changxing seems to have no intention of sending a border guard regiment to support Dingxi and the fortress.
And the Bloody Moon Yingxiang blocking the East-West Post Road is not a vegetarian either.
Without other help, it would still be a bit troublesome to cross the long and narrow Luoxia Mountains with the team that was quickly formed last year to escort military doctors and supplies.
"Forget it, whatever."
Lei Er has always been generous. He just summed it up casually, closed his eyes and fell asleep.
Moreover, the two of them are now nearly two thousand miles away from Yunshui, so even if they are anxious, they cannot help.
Ren Ning got out of his hiding place, raised his telescope and looked around.
After everything was safe, he looked toward the east from a distance.
Compared with getting through the Luoxia Mountains, he actually wanted to know one thing more.
After the seventh prince Chen Xiujian left, whether the land in the four counties of Laigu was distributed to the people.
Yun Chui, the imperial capital Xing Ji City.
Yong'an Hutong, General Xuanwu's Mansion.
Wow.
The thick account book in Yingpan's hand fell to the ground, but she didn't bother to pick it up.
"What did you just say?" She looked at Ji Xiang in disbelief.
"Madam, the news has spread throughout Xingji City." The little maid who came from the grassland said excitedly: "Princess Baekje was killed."
Yingpan's heart skipped a beat, "What's going on? Please tell me in detail."
cough.
Ji Xiang coughed, "That's right. Didn't I go out with the Miao brothers and sisters to check our shop in the morning..."
As a result, not long after they arrived at Xingningfang, countless menacing patrol battalion officers and soldiers suddenly came to the street in front of them, looking for something everywhere.
Later, she found out that it was Princess Baekje who was out to buy a dowry, and several masked men appeared out of nowhere on the street. In a flurry of blows, Princess Baekje and her bodyguards died on the spot.
Tsk tsk!
Ji Xiang shook his head repeatedly.
"What a pitiful princess. She came all the way from Baekje to Yunchui, and saw that His Highness the Seventh Prince was about to return to Xingji City to marry her, but he suddenly encountered such a misfortune."
"I don't know if I can be buried in the Chen family's imperial mausoleum as a princess or a princess..."
Yingpan stopped listening.
She stood silently for a while: "Take care of this place and come with me to the Zhenguo Palace."
The main hall of the Zhenguogong Mansion.
Princess Yiguang and her grandson Huo Qing also just received the news.
"Grandma," Huo Qing said, "Since arriving at Xingji City, this Baekje princess usually stays at the Baekje Pavilion, never leaving the front door. She doesn't want to be assassinated if she comes out once."
"It seems that it was premeditated."
Princess Yiguang was not too surprised, "It's just a miserable person."
The Japanese volcano in the east erupted, and millions of people had nowhere to escape. They were preparing to march west to capture Baekje.
At this time, I am definitely not happy to see the powerful Yun Chui siding with Baekje. Maybe they are the ones who did it.
"Damn it!" Huo Qing stood up with a buzz.
"The bold Japanese pirates actually dare to act recklessly under our noses. Doesn't this mean that we, Yun Chui, are not in our eyes?"
"Sit down, you are all going to be fathers, and you are still very frizzy."
Princess Yiguang shook her head, "It may not be the Japanese pirates."
There is a tradition in Yunchui that non-local women cannot become queen.
If Princess Baekje married a prince who could get by, she might be able to live peacefully until the end of her life. Otherwise, she would never live long.
"This..." Huo Qing looked at each other, "Based on Sun Tzu's past interactions with the Seventh Prince, he doesn't seem to be such a ruthless person."
"Knowing people, knowing faces, but not knowing hearts." Princess Yiguang raised her phoenix-headed staff and pointed at the Yunchui map hanging high on the wall.
Last year, as soon as the news of the marriage granted by Emperor Changxing reached the foggy front line of quelling the chaos, Chen Xiujian changed his usual attitude of not caring about the war and stood up.
He even braved the disapproval of the world and issued a new order, saying that the land would be distributed to the people.
