You can only go out on the third day after reading the bridge.

Xiao Yun and Ji Xuerong sent people to the river valley to search for three days, but they did not find Ji Lingyu's body.

All the soldiers accompanying Ji Lingyu died at the bottom of the pit.

"Perhaps it was brought back by Yeluqi." With He Chang guessing like this, Ji Lingyu guessed that there was more than good luck.

Nianqiao listened to what happened in the army, Jing Guo was still in a stalemate with Yelu's soldiers, Yelu's soldiers were guarding Baichi Mountain, where it was easy to defend but difficult to attack, and the terrain was dangerous.

Their army stood several miles away and surrounded Yeluqi.

At the end of the month, it will be cold in the late spring, and Yeluqi will be trapped on the mountain. They will not have enough food, grass and charcoal, and they will die when they come down, and the exhaustion can kill Yelu soldiers.

Nianqiao knew that it was the valley where Ji Xuerong sent Ji Lingyu to, and he was afraid these days.

If Ji Lingyu is really dead, will someone trouble Ji Xuerong?

For example, if Emperor Jinghe was held accountable, then Ji Xuerong might not escape.

Thinking this way, he still couldn't believe that people who were fine a few days ago just disappeared.

Nianqiao handed the regiment to Ji Xuerong, there were many corpses on the battlefield, he followed the soldiers to pick up the tokens on the dead soldiers these days.

Every soldier has a badge with their number and name on it.

He couldn't stay idle, so Ji Xuerong sent many people to guard him every time he went.

This time it was Shen Yi who accompanied him.

Soldiers were carrying the corpse when the two of them passed by.

"So far there is no whereabouts of the Seventh Prince. I don't know where the Seventh Prince is now."

"I heard that last time the Seventh Battalion brought back several corpses that had been pecked by snow wolves, and one of them looked like the Seventh Prince."

"General, they haven't found anyone so far, maybe they don't want to find anyone at all. The Seventh Prince killed many of our soldiers..."

"He is also helpless. No one in the army listens to his orders. He has nothing here. If we are put in his place, maybe we will do even better."

"The prince treats the soldiers well. The army treats the seventh prince almost in isolation. Of course, since he has chosen this path, he should bear the price himself."

The two soldiers chattered happily, shut up immediately after seeing Shen Yi, and went to carry the corpse together in silence.

Nianqiao listened to the whole thing, he moved his fingertips a little, pulled at the dead soldier's chest, and found the soldier's badge, which had the word "Seven" on it, which was Ji Lingyu's personal soldier.

They went around the valley this time, and there was still some distance away from the valley, so they stopped halfway.

Containing the corpse requires checking whether there is any enemy, so Shen Yi led two soldiers over there.

Only Nianqiao and a few soldiers remained on the spot.

When Nianqiao was pawing at the soldiers, he noticed a bloodstain next to him. There were only a few drops of blood, which seemed to have dried up for a long time.

He looked along and noticed that the blood stains only spread forward, and the front led to the depths of Hu Mulin.

There was a strange feeling in his heart, Nianqiao took two soldiers over, he asked the soldiers to guard outside, bypassing the covered trees, and found a hidden cave behind.

The blood was broken here, and Nianqiao saw the halberd thrown on the ground, it was the halberd of Jing Guo soldiers.

When he stepped into the cave, he met a pair of cold and dark eyes.

Ji Lingyu's condition looked very bad. He was hit by four arrows on his shoulder, and there was a wound pierced by a halberd on his waist and abdomen.

Around him lay several Jing Guo soldiers.

The cave was cold and damp, Nianqiao's eyes reflected Ji Lingyu leaning against the wall, and the token in his hand fell to the ground with a "bang".

The bloodstains are fresh, and Ji Lingyu hid here only recently.

"Young master?" Two soldiers outside were about to come in, but Nianqiao subconsciously turned around and went out.

Seeing that Nianqiao came out safely, the two soldiers were relieved. One of the soldiers said, "I think there are a few corpses inside. Shall we go in and have a look?"

"It's full of Hu people's corpses, don't worry about it." Nian Qiao said.

On the way back, he kept thinking about something in his heart, and it was a subconscious reaction to cover Ji Lingyu.

Those who fell to the ground were all Jing Guo soldiers, which meant that someone sent someone to kill Ji Lingyu.

Did Ji Lingyu die in the arrow pit?

Why did you hide in Hu Mulin cave, why didn't you come back?

Nianqiao didn't dare to tell others, he planned to tell Ji Xuerong about it.

Fang went back to his camp, and Shangshan came to look for him.He was in a hurry when he left, and he only brought part of the luggage with him, and now he has brought the rest of the luggage.

"It's all about Nianqiao."

Nianqiao opened the package, and what came into view was the puppet he had been holding, and the jade pendant Ji Lingyu gave him, most of which he collected in Qianque Palace.

There is also the homework book that Ji Lingyu prepared for him before, and the writing on it is marked. Because of his carelessness, Ji Lingyu divided it up for him.

Nian Qiao put away his things, when he went to find Ji Xuerong, Ji Xuerong did not avoid him, and was discussing matters with Xiao Yun.

"His whereabouts have not been found so far. I have sent people there and will not leave him alive."

Noticing Nianqiao, Ji Xuerong took a look at Xiao Yun, and Xiao Yun left first.

"Nianqiao, why did you come back so early today?" Ji Xuerong pulled him over and looked him up and down.

Every time Nianqiao goes out, Ji Xuerong has to worry a lot, worrying that something will happen to the idiot outside.

Nianqiao looked at the arrow wound on Ji Xuerong's face, wiped it from the brow bone, and applied ointment, the scar had formed in the past few days.

He touched the scar on Ji Xuerong's brow bone, feeling a little distressed, and leaned forward to kiss her.

"Is your Highness still in pain?" Nian Qiao asked.

Ji Xuerong said it didn't hurt, and said to him, "Two days after crossing the bridge, I will stay in the city for two more days."

"The spies have just received news that some soldiers from Hunting Yu intend to negotiate peace with Jing Guo."

Nianqiao nodded, he was hesitating whether to tell Ji Xuerong about Ji Lingyu.

He didn't really want Ji Xuerong to kill people, Ji Lingyu and Ji Xuerong were brothers...he didn't want the prince brother to kill people.

"Your Highness, what you said just now is His Highness the Seventh Highness?" Nian Qiao asked.

Ji Xuerong hummed, "I haven't found his whereabouts yet, maybe he was brought back to Baichi Mountain by Yeluqi."

Nianqiao held back for a long time but did not say anything, but Ji Xuerong found that his clothes were worn out again.

He just went out for a while, and there was a tear where the sleeve was connected.

Ji Xuerong found it, helped him take off his outer robe, and found him a new one.

"Qiaoqiao has to mend clothes several times a month." Ji Xuerong said.

Nianqiao was a little embarrassed by the words, his face was flushed, only a child would waste his clothes like this, he was careless and didn't pay much attention on weekdays, he often grabbed or knocked his clothes, it was common for his clothes to be broken.

He got into Ji Xuerong's arms, hugged Ji Xuerong and asked: "I also sealed the clothes for Your Highness, did your Highness Little Tiger see it last time?"

Ji Xuerong caught him, looked into Shangnianqiao's clear eyes, and replied: "Gu saw it, Nianqiao's sewing is very delicate."

With such boasting, Nianqiao's ears turned red, and he hugged him and said, "My mother is an embroiderer. Your Highness has never seen anything my mother sewed. When I was young, my mother sewed all my shoes and clothes. There are little tigers."

Ji Xuerong listened quietly, her eyes fell on Nianqiao with a layer of tenderness.

"Nianqiao and the little tiger are a good match."

Nianqiao clings to Ji Xuerong for a while, he hates fighting, he and Ji Xuerong don't stay here for long, soldiers often ask to see him.

He stayed for a while, and Ji Xuerong was busy, so he went to find Xiao Yun.

When he got to Xiao Yun's tent, Nianqiao faltered and faltered about the discovery of Ji Lingyu.

Xiao Yun was a little surprised and asked him, "Why didn't you tell His Highness directly."

The corners of Nianqiao's lips were slightly pursed, this was his selfishness, Ji Xuerong was injured on the battlefield, this time Ji Lingyu escaped, she will definitely take revenge on Ji Xuerong in the future.

He didn't want Ji Xuerong to get hurt.

At the same time, he didn't want Ji Xuerong to kill anyone.

Although he has no parents or brothers, no matter what he said, it was better not to let Ji Xuerong touch his hand.

"I don't want His Highness to know about this. If His Highness Seventh survives in the future, His Highness will not be charged with this. I would like to ask General Xiao for help."

Nian Qiao thought of the puppet, he said: "If it is possible, I hope General Xiao can spare his life. His Highness Seventh has a rough life, no one wanted to see him..."

He met Xiao Yun's gaze, and his head gradually lowered. Since he had already chosen to report, why did he still ask for mercy.

He felt a little uneasy, worried that Xiao Yun would blame him.

"I know, leave this matter to me." Xiao Yun said to him: "Our people have been searching for a few days but haven't found them. I didn't expect to be met by you."

Xiao Yun said: "If it is possible, Yelu is willing to seek peace, and then I will discuss his whereabouts with Your Highness."

Nian Qiao felt relieved, he thanked Xiao Yun, and happily went to find Ji Xuerong.

He handed the dumpling to Ji Xuerong, but Ji Xuerong was clumsy and couldn't take care of the dumpling, so he checked in the tent, and the dumpling left a stinky pile on Ji Xuerong's desk.

Nianqiao immediately dealt with the smelly smell, assuring that no criminal evidence was left behind.

At night, Ji Xuerong sat at the desk, took a letter, put it in front of her nose and sniffed it, then frowned slightly.

Tuanzi's ears moved.

Nianqiao met Ji Xuerong's gaze, and he blinked, pretending not to know anything.

Ji Xuerong didn't say anything, but asked someone to take the dumpling away before going to bed.

I made a nest for the dumplings outside alone.

At night, with the moon hanging high and the torches illuminating Hu Mulin, He Chang led the troops to the cave mentioned by Nianqiao.

There was only a pool of blood in the cave, and the bodies of several soldiers, but there was no one inside.

"Search carefully, if you are alive, you will see people, if you are dead, you will see corpses."

"The man is here, he should be injured, and he can't run too far."

Ji Lingyu hid in the belly of a dry and rotten black bear corpse, with hay as a cover next to it, her mouth and nose were filled with bloody smell, and the cold air hurt her lungs when she sucked it in.

His dark eyes were fixed on the direction in front of him, and he held a sharp dagger in his hand.

The sound of the heartbeat continued to amplify, and the most obvious facts were displayed before his eyes.

Nianqiao found him and told Ji Xuerong about it.

Even the only person he was willing to entrust his trust to wanted him to die now.

The gloom in Ji Lingyu's eyes became more and more intense, and his eyes were like two cold wells, filled with cold air.

"General, there is nothing here."

"People may have escaped."

"Search along the vicinity, don't let go of any suspicious places."

The soldiers searched all night, but did not find Ji Lingyu.

At the end of the month, there was a conflict between Shouyu and Yelu, and the generals of Shouyu sent people to discuss peace, and then Shouyu withdrew his troops.

Another month later, Yelu lost to the enemy and ran out of food and grass, so he negotiated peace with Jing Guo.
