The general went out again at night + extra episode

Everyone was unhappy and anxious, looking forward to returning to the palace as soon as possible.But at this time, the more you can't be in a hurry, there will be trouble if you are in a hurry, Xia Qingshu stepped forward to calm everyone's emotions.

On the way home at night, an eunuch came walking on the snow and shouted loudly: "General Xia, I have something to report!"

Xia Qingshu and his group stopped, waiting for the eunuch to approach.

"What's the matter?" Xia Qingshu asked.

The eunuch knelt down and said: "Just now, the servant's cohabitant went out to relieve himself, but it has been more than an hour now, and he has not returned yet. The Empress Dowager ordered that after dark, everyone who has nothing to do should stay in the room. Going out for a stroll. The servant sensed something was wrong, so he went out to search around, and found many strange footprints behind our room."

"Footprints?" Xia Qingshu frowned, feeling something bad in her heart.

The eunuch said in a trembling voice: "General Xia, there is still a long mark on the snow, which seems to be left by dragging a human body. General, hurry up and follow the slaves to have a look."

The eunuch spoke eagerly, and there was panic on his face, it didn't seem fake.It's just that Xia Qingshu is almost at the inner courtyard, she wants to take a look at His Royal Highness the Eldest Princess...

Xia Qingshu asked: "Where are Governor Qin and Lord Wei?"

Liu Yan replied: "Qin Dudu is still presiding over the snow shoveling on the mountain road, Lord Wei was called away by His Royal Highness the Eldest Princess."

It seemed that neither of them had time to spare.Xia Qingshu turned her head, looked in the direction of the inner courtyard, gritted her teeth, suppressed the personal feelings in her heart, and said to the eunuch: "You lead the way ahead, let's go and have a look."

For three days and two nights, there was no difference, but the road was blocked by snow, and when everyone couldn't go down the mountain, one person was lost.Xia Qingshu had a vague premonition.

After walking outside for a while, looking at the white snow, Xia Qingshu's bad feeling became stronger and stronger.

"Liu Yan, you go back quickly and tell Master Wei what happened here, so that he can be more vigilant." Xia Qingshu had never had contact with Wei Linsong before, so he didn't know how capable he was in martial arts and whether he was careful, so he thought it would be better to ask him.

"Okay." Liu Yan led the order and left.

The eunuch led the way with a torch, and arrived at the accident site after two sticks of incense.

"General, look at these footprints." The eunuch pointed at the ground, "There is no road here, it used to be a vegetable garden. When we travel, we always walk on the road, no one will go here, but there are so many more here. footprints."

"Where is that?" Xia Qingshu asked solemnly, pointing to the dark front.

"It's Lin Zi." The eunuch replied.

"Where is that long track you speak of?"

"Here."

Xia Qingshu squatted down, took a photo with the torch close to the snow, and really found traces of dragging the human body.

"I'm going to search the forest." Xia Qingshu looked up at the pitch-black jungle, and gave orders: "Divide into three teams, the first team enters from the left, the second team enters from the right, and the third team follows me from here. If suspicious people are found, firework bombs will be used as a signal."

"Yes!"

The guards entered the forest in groups of three or five, and the torchlight illuminated the silent forest. The further they went in, the more disturbed Xia Qingshu felt.

***

Liu Yan got Xia Qingshu's order and hurried back.

After dinner, Wei Linsong sent Ji Qianyao back, and has been patrolling around the inner courtyard ever since.After Liu Yan found him, he reported the eunuch's disappearance for no reason.

"General Xia said that if something happens to this side of the inner courtyard, she will rush back in time if she fires a signal flare." Liu Yan said Xia Qingshu's confession one by one.

"Lieutenant General Liu Yan, don't worry, I'm here, and nothing will happen. General Xia needs to pay more attention to finding people on the other side." Wei Linsong's face was serious.

Liu Yan looked at this person carefully, she was the same as Xia Qingshu, she didn't know how capable this person was, but now that her own general and Qin Dudu were at their wits' end, she could only trust him.

"Master Wei has worked hard, this subordinate will take his leave first." Liu Yan bowed and saluted.

"Lieutenant Liu Yan is also working hard." Wei Linsong watched Liu Yan leave, and when he saw her walking away, he lowered his head and winked at the person beside him.

That person understood, left the team, and walked to the west side of the forest.

Chapter 35 Snowy Night Assassin

"Your Highness, put on another coat, it's windy outside." In the wing room, Su Jin brought a thick coat and walked to Ji Qianyao's side.

Ji Qianyao shook his head: "No need, just rest after watching it for a while."

There is a deep meaning in Su Jin's words: "Your Highness, the wind is blowing very hard outside, I'm afraid it won't be peaceful tonight, you'd better put on your clothes."

Ji Qianyao paused for a while while holding the book, and immediately, a smile appeared on his lips: "Then bring it."

Su Jin waited on Ji Qianyao to put on a coat. The belt around his waist had just been tied, when a strange wind came from nowhere and extinguished the candles in the room.

Immediately, the room was pitch black, and the servant girl who was serving was a little flustered, stumbling and knocking over many chairs and stools.

Ji Qianyao still stood where he was, with a very calm expression on his face.

Su Jin reprimanded: "What are you panicking about? Turn off the lights, close the windows tightly, and then light the candles."

"Yes." The two servant girls split up, one went to find the fire pocket, and the other looked for the window with air leakage.

After the tea time, the dark room was lit up again, and the maid who lit the lamps lit two copper lamps.By the faint candlelight, another maidservant also found the window that was leaking. It turned out that there was a window that was not locked tightly, and it was blown open by the wind.
