Mrs. Qi was straightforward, and Yan Ruyu didn't mince words.

"Madam, I would like to borrow a team of troops from you to go to Daiguo Temple. The prince has not returned yet, so I am a little worried."

Mrs. Qi said without saying a word: "I will take the people to go with you."

"No need," Yan Ruyu said, "Madam is tired, so she should stay in the house. If anything happens, I can rest assured that you are here to guard me. You only need to lend me a team of people."

"Okay," Mrs. Qi agreed, "I'll order the soldiers. The princess will wait a moment."

The government soldiers are the group who followed Qi Delong through life and death and retired from the army.

Yan Ruyu didn't take much with him, he only took 80 people with him and rode out of the city.

On the way, I felt a little regretful. I shouldn't have thought that Huo Changhe only brought the silver ingots. Although there was Ma Liang there, after all, Ma Liang was not one of his own.

Expecting to meet Huo Changhe halfway, but he didn't.

Seeing Daiguo Temple from a distance, there was still a burning smell in the air, and Yan Ruyu couldn't help but urge her horse.

The smell of burning things here is stronger. There is one missing temple door. There are torches in front of the door. When they see them, they shout loudly: "Who is coming? Get off your horse!"

Yan Ruyu got off the horse, came closer, and recognized Ma Liang's henchman.

"Is my prince here?"

"Princess, it turns out to be you! The prince is inside, please!"

Yan Ruyu led people in, and one of the side halls of Daguo Temple was burned down. The order was stabilized, and the monks were not too panicked. Although they were disgraced, they were all in order.

Yan Ruyu hurriedly looked for Huo Changhe and walked around to the back mountain. There was a rotten smell in the air again.

Looking up and seeing a shadow, Yan Ruyu paused.

There were no lights around, only a ray of moonlight shrouded Huo Changhe like ice-cold water.

He stood alone, with his back to this side, his whole body covered with silver light, and his whole body felt cool.

Yin Ding ran over from the side with red eyes and whispered: "Princess, you are here at the right time. Go and persuade the prince!"

"What happened?"

Yin Ding said with a flat mouth: "We received news that we found a place similar to the one used to make medicine. But when we arrived, we found more."

Yan Ruyu frowned slightly: "Speak quickly!"

"There is also a valley full of dead bodies. Moreover," Yin Ding's face turned pale, "all of them were missing their limbs. It was too horrible to look at. We also found more than a dozen people...who were...on the same team as Lin Nan."

Yan Ruyu's head buzzed.

Yin Ding's voice trembled slightly: "The prince didn't say anything, but he must be feeling extremely uncomfortable. He..."

Yan Ruyu waved her hand: "I'm going to see the prince, and you can take care of other things."

"Yes."

Yan Ruyu walked up to Huo Changhe and gently held his hand.

Huo Changhe's hands were cold and without any warmth.

He turned around slowly and hugged her gently for a long time, exerting a slight force.

Yan Ruyu hugged him and said nothing, feeling a little damp in the hollow of her neck.

After a long time, Huo Changhe's throat became hoarse and he whispered: "I would rather they die on the battlefield than...

Instead of being tortured to death here and no one knows.

If we hadn't happened to pass by, if we hadn't... no one would have known that they died here. "

"They have been discovered. If they know that the prince will collect their bodies in the end, they will go on their way with peace of mind."

The heat in Yan Ruyu's palm warmed his hand: "I also understand the love of comrades, brothers who live and die together, and I really understand the prince's heartache.

What we have to do is to let them rest in peace, find out the murderer, and comfort their souls in heaven. "

"My lord, I will accompany you."

Huo Changhe looked deeply, his dark eyes burning with thoughts: "Okay."

Yan Ruyu asked about the situation here, and Huo Changhe said that when they arrived here, Ma Liang had already taken over. Although there were some minor casualties, it was generally smooth.

As a result, not long after he and Yin Ding arrived here, they heard a roar and the side hall was burned down. If Ma Liang's people hadn't discovered it in time, the main hall would have been destroyed as well.

What frightened him even more was that this big hole was blown up in the back mountain.

Yan Ruyu's eyes darkened slightly: "It seems that they knew you were coming and deliberately let you find this out."

Huo Changhe clenched his fists: "I think so too, they did it on purpose!"

Yan Ruyu sneered: "Whatever can't defeat us will eventually make us stronger. They think it will make us sad, sad and self-blaming, unable to recover, and dreaming!"

"This will only further arouse our fighting spirit and determination to avenge this!"

……

In the distance, a man stood on a high hill, with the night wind blowing his hair and cloak.

Under the cloak, his left hand was seriously injured and was wrapped in a thick bandage.

Behind him stood several people wearing masks, silently.

Huo Changhe, Yan Ruyu! I hope you will like this gift.

Are you going to fight? Okay, let’s fight to the end!

Let's see who dies first!

They were busy until midnight before Yan Ruyu and Huo Changhe left the temple.

Walking through the night, he returned to Qi Mansion in the city and handed the man back to Mrs. Qi.

Mrs. Qi was waiting for them, and she finally breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that they all returned safely.

"Madam," Yan Ruyu said, "we will be preparing to leave Xucheng in the next two days. Thank you for taking care of us."

Mrs. Qi showed reluctance and pulled Yan Ruyu: "What did the princess say? I should be the one thanking the prince and the princess. If it weren't for you, I might not be able to handle it alone.

The governor's office colluded with outsiders to put our whole family to death. If you two were not here, I am afraid that my husband would be homeless, and my husband, wife, mother and daughter would never see each other again. "

"Madam is serious, you are also tired of us," Huo Changhe said, "General Qi went to the capital for us, so we should protect Madam."

"No more polite words," Mrs. Qi cupped her hands, "I have been too busy these days and have not taken good care of her. I will send you off to the prince and princess well these two days!"

Yan Ruyu saw that she looked tired, so she didn't bother her too much. She left two red fruits for her and said goodbye to Huo Changhe.

The night passed quickly, and when Yan Ruyu got up early the next morning, she came to see the abbot.

The abbot was with Yin Ding, Beibei, and Quandao. The three of them listened to the abbot's story with great interest.

Yan Ruyu almost laughed angrily. No wonder Yin Ding always talks with a hint of Jincheng now. This is the reason.

Seeing Yan Ruyu's arrival, the three of them reluctantly retreated. The abbot's straight back collapsed: "You came just in time, I'm almost exhausted."

"Why did they get up so early? I didn't even wake up, so I had to get up quickly and pretend to meditate. My dear, my waist is almost broken."

The abbot came closer, his little eyes full of light: "Hey? Do you have any tips for losing weight?

Let me share with you one thing. I looked in the mirror and thought that my facial features were not bad. If I lose weight, I might become a handsome man. "

Yan Ruyu didn't say anything. He stroked his beard and said, "Hey, tell me, I never got married in the first half of my life. Come here, okay, just dress up like an old monk. Tell me what happened!"
