For the sake of speed, they were all cavalry, and the immediate march was no better than the slow ride back to Pingyang with Pei Se from Yanling, which was really hard work.Fortunately, Fu Lang didn't wear heavy armor like those soldiers, but his legs hurt and his shoulders hurt.She was afraid that Chiyu and Dai Wang would leave her behind, so she didn't dare to say a word of complaint.

There was heavy rain along the way, and the team just had a simple meal at the posthouse they passed by. Fu Lang didn't know the rules of the march, so he just sat down and ate a few bites. Hastily mounted the horse.Dai Wang sent someone to count the number of people. Chiyu in front of her reached out and threw an oilcloth package for her. She took it and opened it. Inside were the dry food and jerky that were on the table just now. It turned out that Chiyu knew she was not full.

She stuffed a piece of jerky into her mouth and chewed it as she walked. The jerky was too hard, making her face and eye sockets sour from chewing.Walking against the wind, the rain bypassed the rain hat and hit the face, gathered into a stream, and flowed coolly to the chest.

Fu Lang felt that he was bumpy on the road for three or four days, but in fact he only watched the sunrise and sunset once, and arrived at Tongjiang the next night.Half of the Tongjiang River is adjacent to the mountain, and it twists and turns around the mountain for dozens of miles before reaching the open flat land and gushing into a big river.Tongcheng ordered people to light up the torches, and saw that under the heavy rain for months, the river water was dyed yellowish yellow by the sand and stones washed out, which was very ugly.The surface of the river more than doubled in width, and it ran endlessly, hitting the cliffs on both sides of the river in the night, making a loud noise that was as terrifying as thunder.

Fu Lang's throat tightened, remembering that Pei Se was so good at fighting against hordes of assassins, but facing Tong Jiang like this?She had never been so scared.

The Tongjiang River was rushing down, and Dai Wang pressed the river and shouted: "What are you doing standing here? Why don't you send someone to rescue you?"

Tongcheng Ling opened his mouth, but was dumbfounded.On the contrary, Chiyu was able to hold on a little bit, and persuaded: "Second Young Master, considering the situation, it is better to go back to the camp to repair first. You can't look for it at night, not only can you not find Young Master, but also cost a lot of lives."

Dai Wang looked at the rushing river again, the rain was getting heavier and heavier, almost pouring down.

He wiped the rain off his face, hugged Tong Chengling's shoulders and walked back: "Master Zhao, I'm dizzy, I'm sorry. What happened that day? Tell me in detail, so we can plan how to find someone tomorrow. "

Since the beginning of summer, the Tongjiang River has burst its embankment twice, and the Tongcheng Order has been guarding the riverside for more than a month.It wasn't until Pei Se came over more than ten days ago that he had time to close his eyes.Seeing that the levee could not hold back the accumulation of river water, Pei Se led his troops to dig a lot of dredging canals. Coupled with the fact that the rain was getting weaker, the flood situation gradually improved.

A few days ago, some mountain people ran down from the mountain to report that people from several villages were still trapped on the mountain.Pei Se immediately took the soldiers to build bridges and fill in the roads to clear the way. After the mountain road was opened, nearly a hundred villagers were brought out.Unexpectedly, it was a heavy rain in the upper reaches that day, Pei Se was standing by the river to pull people across the river, without any warning, there was a flood in just a moment, and dozens of people by the river were washed away.They searched and salvaged downstream and found the corpses of several villagers and soldiers, but it was not Pei Se.

Dai Wang paused for a long time, "Drown?"

Ling Tongcheng lowered his eyes, "There are many rocks in the water, most of them were hit to death."

Dai Wang gritted his teeth, feeling that it was going to be bad.

A group of people looked at the map, circled the places that the Tongcheng Order had already sent people to find, circled the places that were more likely, and circled the rest of the places that they were looking for.

Fu Lang lay in the tent and stared at the top of the tent, Chiyu beside him was also awake, but neither of them was in the mood to talk.Finally at dawn, Fu Lang got up and stuffed things into his bosom: dry food, jerky, oilcloth... She couldn't think of anything else to take with her bosom, and Chiyu lay on the bed with her eyes closed: "You Don't go, the mountains are dangerous."

Fu Lang touched the dry food that couldn't be stuffed in, and it took him a long time before he said, "No way."

Chiyu also got up, took out the pile of things in her bosom, spread them out, covered them with oilcloth, added a few more things, and packed them neatly, in a small flat bag, Fu Lang took it and stuffed it into his bosom, and asked, "Chiyu, what about you?"

Chiyu shook his head: "I have something important on me, I can't go." It was still raining outside, but it was much lighter than last night.She put a poncho on Fu Lang, and Fu Lang suddenly said, "Can I wear two ponchos?" Chiyu put his own on her as well.

Fu Lang gnawed a few mouthfuls of dry food in the water, and a horn sounded outside the tent, she put the dry food in her mouth, opened the curtain and was about to leave.

Chiyu chased him out and called out softly, "Miss Fu!"

Fu Lang turned his head when he heard the sound, Chiyu said: "You must be safe, otherwise..."

Fu Lang still had dry food in his mouth, so he just waved to her.

A group of people rode into the col, the road narrowed, and Dai Wang saw her.He had nothing on him to give her, so he reached out and took out a dagger and stuffed it into Fu Lang's waist.Fu Lang took out a piece of dry food and gave it to him as a return gift.Dai Wang was indeed not full, so he gnawed after taking it, and after a few mouthfuls, he clapped his hands: "Miss Fu, follow closely."

Fu Lang nodded, Dai Wang picked up the reins and ran to the front to lead the way.She moved forward in no hurry, and took a few glances at the valley.In midsummer, the vegetation in the mountains is luxuriant, and is irrigated by rain for days. The leaves that grow well are dark green and black, as if they can drip water; About to fall.On the other side is a gentle slope, below which is the rolling water of Tongjiang River.The slope stretches forward and gradually becomes steeper, forming a cliff by the water. The terrain is extremely dangerous. This is the lower reaches of the Tongjiang River.

Fu Lang's heart sank, he knew that this was the section of the river that Tongcheng Ling had already salvaged, and he didn't know what to do further down.She followed the team and walked forward for a while, turning around a rough river, Dai Wang knew that this place had reached the most dangerous place, and the soldiers in Tongcheng Ling didn't dare to take risks, and hadn't investigated it yet.He took the lead in waving, and a group of soldiers followed him on horseback and jumped off the cliff.

There was no shelter in front of Fu Lang, and a narrow mountain road appeared in front of him, undulating upwards, both sides were covered by lush trees, on the outer side there was a cliff beyond the trees, and below the cliff was the torrential river.

She felt a certain key in her brain move, as if being brushed by soft feathers, the feeling that the silk strings in her brain were being plucked was like summer mosquitoes and flies lightly passing over the surface of the skin.

She raised the rein to urge the horse, and slowly took a few steps forward.The thin sky above the head was blocked by the shade of the trees, and the rain was pattering, but not many fell under the trees.The horse's hoof splashed yellow mud and stuck to her toes, and then a strange trembling spread from her toes to her whole body, followed by a strange numbness.

Fu Lang suddenly realized that the scene in front of her was exactly the same as what she had seen in her dreams for the past few days!She suddenly became excited, and the depression in her chest was dispelled by the excitement, and it turned into a ball of fire. Under the fire, she stammered and shouted: "Second, Second Young Master! Dai Wang!"

The surrounding fields were silent, without the sound of people or the sound of horses' hooves.Only above the canopy of the trees and under the sky is the continuous rain falling, beating on the dark green leaves, making the sound of pearls and jade hitting.

Dai Wang's team had gone far away at some point, and there were many people following her, and she was one less, so it was impossible to tell for a while.She reckoned that Dai Wang was at the place where the fork was going down, so she urged her horse to go the same way, and pushed aside the dense branches, but she was dumbfounded.The Tongjiang River in front of us began to diverge from here, and the broad river was divided into countless streams. Along the river, it was either covered by trees or strewn with boulders, but there was no sign of Dai Wang.
