Princess Jinyang of the Tang Dynasty

"Missing, how do you know?" Zhang Sun Chong asked puzzled, his second brother was at home all the time, and suddenly got such news, Chang Sun Chong naturally wanted to confirm the authenticity of the news first.

"It was said by Chang Huaiyuan's guards. He got off the horse and his legs were still a little unsteady. Seeing that he was in a hurry to report to the princess, I kindly passed it on for him." Changsun Huan said.

Li Mingda hurriedly asked where the guards were, and immediately got up to ask, but saw that the guards were being helped in from the door, and he felt a little dizzy.

When the guard saw the princess, he hurriedly knelt down to make amends, "It was just dawn this morning. When the subordinates followed Mr. Yuchi all the way back from Xishan, they had to go through the forest for a while. Going in, I met a wave of sheep drivers, blocking the way of the subordinates, so I was delayed for a while, and then I went to chase him, but he disappeared on the official road. The subordinates assigned to search the nearby In the end, I searched for an hour, but I couldn't find Mr. Yuchi."

Li Mingda immediately ordered someone to inform Fang Yizhi, and immediately saw that the guard was not in good spirits, his head was in a daze, and he was desperately opening his eyelids to stay awake, so he asked him if he felt unwell.

The guard propped his head to plead guilty, "But I don't know why, I feel dizzy and sleepy."

"Could it be caused by riding too fast?" Zhang Sun Chong sighed, and then asked the guards to help him to rest.

Li Mingda glanced at the guard's scraped sleeves and the slight wound on his wrist, and said to Changsun Chong: "Let's ask a doctor to take a look. With his skill, he can't do this after riding a fast horse for an hour. It's a bit abnormal." .”

Chang Sun Chong agreed, and immediately gave orders.

Li Mingda had to wait for Fang Yizhi to meet up, so he read Princess Changle's letter by the way.Her fifth sister has only been away from Chang'an City for more than a month, and she must not have arrived at her seaside house.And counting the time it took for the messenger to return, the letter should have been written about ten days after Princess Changle left Chang'an City.

The ink on the letter paper is a little flowery, it looks like she was writing while crying, the content is a bit touching, she admits her mistakes and wakes up, I hope Chang Sun Chong can forgive her waywardness.At the same time, it also explained that her relationship with Gao Zhengfeng was not what Chang Sun Chong thought, she was just trying to annoy him.

Li Mingda hurriedly put down the letter and looked at Zhang Sunchong: "This letter should not be shown to me, it's all for you, even her father didn't mention it."

"Actually, I still can't figure out why she would have the guts to have the idea of ​​feigning death." Chang Sun Chong smiled wryly, and then put away the letter.

"Thinking about it afterwards, I also think...if she went to the step of feigning death just because she cared about her brother-in-law, because she couldn't get any response to her impulsive words, isn't it a bit too hasty?" Li Mingda looked at Chang Sun Chong.

Chang Sun Chong frowned in thought and nodded. "Your Fifth Sister has feelings for me, but she actually cares more about herself. It's hard for me to give up her princess status for me."

At this time, someone came to report to Li Mingda that Wang Changshi and the two yamen who escorted him died on the way to the distribution.The bodies of Wang Changshi and two yamen servants were hidden under the bushes on the side of the road. The wild dogs dragged them out by one arm, and the three bodies were discovered.

"It's hard to go after Wang Changshi, but we can't find his whereabouts." Li Mingda asked who is responsible for the murder now, and whether he has sent someone to do an autopsy.

The guard who replied shook his head, expressing that he was still unclear, "After the body was discovered, the subordinates immediately reported back to the princess. The murder case has just been reported to Jingzhao Mansion at this time, and people should be sent soon."

Li Mingda agreed, and heard that Fang Yizhi had already arrived.Li Mingda told Changsun Chong that she would go to Yuchi Baoqi first without waiting for Changsun Wuji.

"Then let's go together too." Chang Sun Chong looked at Chang Sun Huan and saw that he had the same intention, so he said to Li Mingda, "Bao Qi is also our friend, if he is in danger, we naturally have to help."

Li Mingda agreed, the three of them left the house and were about to mount their horses when they saw Changsun Wuji riding back with a group of followers.He was very happy to see Li Mingda and asked Li Mingda to get off his horse to speak.

Fang Yizhi and the others were also busy paying respects.

Changsun Wuji saw that Fang Yizhi was also there, looked him over with a smile, nodded, and then remembered to ask something serious.

"Why are you a group of people in such a hurry to go out, but there is something urgent?"

"Baoqi is missing." Changsun Huan said.

Changsun Wuji was stunned for a moment, then waved his hand, then you all go quickly.

Li Mingda glanced at Changsun Wuji, and said straight to Fang Yi: "Go to the place where he disappeared first, and I will be there soon."

Fang Yi nodded his head, and rode with brothers Changsun Chong and Changsun Huan.

Changsun Wuji looked around and felt that this was not the place to talk, but he knew that Li Mingda was in a hurry, so he made it up and sent the idlers away.

"Uncle asked you to inquire about it, what's the result?"

Li Mingda was stunned for a moment, then he remembered that last time Changsun Wuji entrusted him to help see how the Wei family's second mother was doing.

Li Mingda rolled his eyes, leaned in front of Changsun Wuji, and whispered to him with a smile: "I really checked carefully, not only went to see her in person on her birthday, but also asked a lot of people who have been with her. Little sister of Princess Princess, inquire about her character from many places."

Changsun Wuji nodded, "It's better for you girls to be careful, this is very good, there will be no omissions and misjudgments."

Changsun Wuji immediately turned his ear to Li Mingda, asking her to talk about it.

"Did uncle receive father's order?" Li Mingda asked him with blinking eyes.

Changsun Wuji was stunned for a moment, and immediately remembered what the sage ordered to do for Si Ziguan, his relaxed expression immediately turned solemn, and he frowned and said to Li Mingda: "I thought it was just the sage's whim, you really want to do it?" Official? Like, you, a princess, go in and out of the court’s government office, what do other officials think of it.”

"They don't know how to look at me. When they see me, they have to kneel down and dare not look at me." Li Mingda replied very alertly.

Changsun Wuji frowned: "I'm being serious with you, but you're talking nonsense. If you don't want to be a noble princess, it's interesting to have a job that weighs your shoulders?"

"Of course it's interesting. Otherwise, why would I ask you?" Li Mingda looked at Changsun Wuji puzzled, and asked him whether he agreed with him to be an official. "The imperial court can recruit virtuous officials, which is not against the rules. Now my father recommends me. So, does uncle agree with you?"

"You also said that your father recommended you. Your father is a saint. I dare not say no." Changsun Wuji said.

"What kind of person is uncle? In front of the sage, of course, uncle dares to say no and raises many opinions that disagree. Now that my father asks you to submit a list of vacant official positions in Chang'an City to him, uncle is not allowed to leave behind, and secretly leaks all the good ones. Leave it, and only hand in the bad ones that people don’t like. Don’t play tricks, if I find out, I will sue the saint and say that my uncle is deceiving the king.” Li Mingda half-jokingly threatened his eldest grandson Wu avoid,

Changsun Wuji was stunned for a moment, and laughed twice, but he couldn't hide the embarrassment at the corner of his mouth. He said no, but in his heart he had to admit that this little girl had a pair of clever eyes, and she could see right through his eyes. thought.

"Okay, okay, I'm not fooling around. With your supervision, I wouldn't dare to 'deceive the emperor' even if I had ten guts." Changsun Wuji paused, and then asked Li Mingda probingly, "Then what kind of official position do you want to take?"

"Just be higher than the Shaoqing of Dali Temple." Li Mingda said.

Changsun Wuji was stunned, and looked at Li Mingda in surprise, "Little girl, you are so talented and ambitious. The Shaoqing of Dali Temple is already the fourth rank. Do you know how many Jinshi who study hard in poor windows for a lifetime? Can be a fourth-rank official in Chang'an City."

"Why compare with those? In this prosperous age of the Tang Dynasty, there are all kinds of opportunities to show their talents, and truly talented people will not be buried. It is his own reason that he can't make it to the fourth rank in his life. I am not like them. " Li Mingda put his hands behind his back, pretending to be very confident, she wanted to overwhelm Changsun Wuji with arrogance.

Changsun Wuji took a breath, and looked at Li Mingda with a little surprise and joy, "You are amazing, little girl. I didn't realize that you have such a smart mouth before. Before, you were always obedient and quiet in front of uncle."

"Uncle promised to help and let me be a high-ranking official. I will still be obedient and quiet in front of you in the future." Anyway, I usually don't see each other a few times, and Li Mingda can do this.

"That is to say, if I don't agree to you, you won't tell me about Wei Erniang?"

"Don't dare to threaten uncle," Li Mingda grinned at Changsun Wuji, and when Changsun Wuji showed satisfaction, Li Mingda immediately said, "Yes, I really won't tell."

Changsun Wuji's face collapsed, and he glared at Li Mingda: "If you want to argue with uncle, you must lose. Whether the second wife of the Wei family is good or bad, it's just a choice. It's a big deal, there are more options. "

"It could have been like this, but my uncle is a person who always wants to choose the best, not to mention that my uncle loves his son and chooses a wife for his precious son. Uncle is not willing to be fooled. You will miss the best one and ask for a second time." Are you ready to wait?"

Changsun Wuji was stunned for a moment, staring at Li Mingda, then burst out laughing, and pointed at Li Mingda.

"Forget it, I'll show you how clever I am, and uncle will help you once. But it's not easy for you to be a high-ranking official. Officials of the fourth rank and above in important positions are going to go to the court to discuss politics. As a woman of yours , I’m afraid it will be difficult. Even if I agree here, and Fang Gong and the others, even if you can deal with those old officials, you will not be able to get through Wei Zheng’s place.”

The reason why Changsun Wuji agreed so easily is also for this reason.He likes his niece Sizi so much, anyway, Wei Zheng will not agree to this matter, he might as well sell it now, so as not to make this little girl unhappy, and not kiss him in the future.

Changsun Wuji cared very much about Li Mingda, there was nothing he could do, his family was too yang, no matter whether his deceased wife or concubine, they all only gave birth to sons for him.Now he has had twelve sons one after another, and none of them showed up without a handle.Changsun Wuji never imagined that after living a long time, he would have all kinds of wealth and beauty, but it became a luxury to have a daughter.

Changsun Wuji didn't miss his daughter so much a long time ago. After all, he was young and had good physical strength, so he still had a chance.But as the grades grew, sons were born one by one, which made the eldest grandson Wuji realize the importance of daughters.And when Si Zi was born, it happened to be at this time.Therefore, Changsun Wuji often pins his unrestrained love for his daughter on Li Mingda.Of course, there is also the reason why this girl is well-behaved and clever, which just fits all his fantasies about his daughter.

Over the years, the eldest grandson Wuji naturally has a deeper affection for Li Mingda than the other princesses born in the first place.So much so that now, according to his temperament, he couldn't discuss and would not agree to this matter at all, but he let go after being made a fuss by Sizi's few words.

"Thank you Uncle, Uncle's help is very important to me, as for Wei Gong... just let it go." Li Mingda sighed, and then whispered to Changsun Wuji, "The one that Uncle photographed before doesn't seem to be suitable, anyway He must definitely not be the kind of good daughter-in-law uncle wants."

"Oh, what's wrong with it?"

"I don't know the details, but people are not simple, there are some cities, and I guarantee that her heart is not in your eldest grandson's house." Li Mingda said.

Changsun Wuji's heart was shocked, he frowned and looked at Li Mingda, he knew in his heart that Wei Erniang had his own heart.

"Since that's the case, then let it go. I was a little guilty of marrying the Wei family, but if his girl is nice, I'm willing to be wronged. This way the result will be happy." Changsun Wuji laughed and thanked Li Mingda After that, he told Li Mingda to be careful on the road, and ordered Cheng Chubi and others to guard the princess with extreme caution.

Cheng Chubi took the lead.

Changsun Wuji immediately watched them go, then shook his head helplessly, turned around and entered the mansion with a smile on his face.

"What did the princess and Mr. Zhao say that made Mr. Zhao become serious and happy at times?" Cheng Chubi had never seen the eldest grandson Wuji, who was always known for being fierce and domineering, to have such a 'crazy' moment.

"We talked about being an official." Li Mingda said.

Cheng Chubi was surprised, "Princess really intends to become an official?"

Seeing Li Mingda nodding, Cheng Chubi couldn't help asking again, "Why? The princess already has a noble status, so what's the use of being an official."

"Of course it's useful. I'm a woman, and a woman can be an official." Li Mingda smiled at Cheng Chubi, then swung his whip and galloped the horse.

Cheng Chubi was stunned for a moment, then he understood that the purpose of the princess seeking to be an official was not because of herself, but because she wanted to break the convention that women should not be officials.

Women are officials.

Cheng Chubi thought about it and found it incredible.However, if this precedent is really set, it will be quite new that more women will walk around inside and outside the government office in the future.

Cheng Chubi looked at the back of the princess who had gone away, sternly waved his whip, and hurriedly chased after her.

After Li Mingda and others rode for nearly half an hour, they finally caught up with Fang Yizhi and Changsun brothers.

"Nineteenth Lang, your riding skills are really getting better and better than our boys." Changsun Huan sighed, "Why? We have learned a few years more than her, but we are not as good as her."

"The princess is light and graceful, and the horse is good." Fang Yi pointed straight to the point.

Chang Sunchong nodded with a gentle smile, "That's true."

Changsun Huan was stunned, "So that's how it is. The horse carried her, but it was as if she hadn't carried it. She ran happily, and naturally it was faster than ours."

"Nineteenth Lang knows about Wang Changshi?" Fang Yi asked directly.

"Well, the news has been sent to me. Do you want to take care of Dali Temple?"

Fang Yi nodded straight, indicating that he had sent someone to Jingzhao Mansion to communicate and planned to take charge of the matter himself.Fang Yizhi also specifically explained to Li Mingda that the assistant he used this time is a very experienced and careful person, and it will definitely not be the same as the last time he was in the Ministry of Punishment.

Li Mingda smiled and nodded, then raised his eyes and looked at the road ahead, "It should be almost here, let's go quickly and find Baoqi as soon as possible, don't wait until it gets dark. I'm afraid that if it takes a long time, he will be more prone to accidents."

Everyone agrees and gallops together.

Another half an hour later, the group arrived at the dense forest that they must pass through on their way to the West Mountain.This forest is a flat land where two mountains meet.An official road was opened in the middle, leading to the west.There are lush forests on both sides of the road, with slopes and ditches, overgrown with weeds and thorns, and the road is very difficult to walk.About four or five hundred feet into the forest, you can go up the mountain. The mountain is neither high nor big, but it is continuous, one after another.

Li Mingda rode his horse and walked slowly on the road, looking at the scene on the side of the road. There were many traces of trampling on the grass beside the road, and there were also many sheep's hoof prints.As the guards reported before, there were indeed a flock of sheep passing by.In the depths of the forest, there are many traces of people passing by with knives and axes, and there is even a clean forest road leading to the mountain.

"This place has a lot of mushrooms and wild vegetables, and hares often come and go, so the nearby farmers often come to these mountains to get things in the off-season." Fang Yizhi explained.

Li Mingda looked at him in surprise: "You know all this?"

"Learn a lesson and gain wisdom, try to do your best." Fang Yizhi whispered back into Li Mingda's left ear.

Li Mingda raised his eyebrows, remembering the last time he traveled far away, he once made things difficult for him with the question of 'what grows in the mountains', unexpectedly he still remembered it.

"There are too many traces, it's hard to tell where he got off his horse and disappeared." Changsun Chong and Changsun Huan stood on the other side of the road, looking at the situation in the forest while sighing.

Changsun Huan rubbed his chin in confusion, "What about the horse and the attendants, all disappeared together?"

"He only brought Duofu with him." Fang Yi said straight.

Changsun Huan was surprised, and scolded Yuchi Baoqi for being an idiot, and even brought an entourage out, "The house of Yuchi's house in Xishan was deserted long ago, why did he go there? A follower goes out, tsk tsk, it's really embarrassing for us noble children."

Li Mingda, Fang Yizhi and Chang Sun Chong looked at Chang Sun Huan at the same time.

Changsun Huan felt uncomfortable being looked at by everyone, so he asked them confidently, "Am I not right?"

Li Mingda hooked his hands and asked Changsun Huan to speak close to him.Changsun Huan immediately came over with a smile.

"Bait, secret matter. If there are too many people, you can't be trusted, and it's not easy to lure bad people to the bait." After Li Mingda finished speaking, seeing that his elder Sun Huan still wanted to ask questions, Li Mingda hurriedly said, "As far as that is concerned, don't ask any more questions."

"Okay... no wonder Bao Qi is missing, you are all so nervous." Changsun Huan responded, but couldn't control his curious expression, instead he approached Fang Yizhi with a smile, begging him to tell him something.

Fang Yizhi ignored him even more, and only said to him casually, "Why don't you ask Baoqi yourself when you find Baoqi."

"That's right." Changsun Huan immediately shifted his attention, leading a group of people to point to the easternmost direction, "I'll go over there to check."

Then Changsun Huan also chose another direction and led people there.

Li Mingda still followed the right side of the road, looking at the side of the road and the forest while walking.

Fang Yizhi followed her, because he knew that Li Mingda was looking for clues that others didn't know with his eyes, and he might need to pay full attention, so Fang Yizhi didn't say a word, and sent his followers to follow from a distance, so as not to disturb the princess .

Li Mingda can be distracted, she watched with her eyes and didn't delay listening, so she said straight to Fang Yi while walking: "I read your daily life."

Fang Yi turned his head to look at her.

"If I remember correctly, it was written eight times in total. Since you returned to Chang'an, my fourth brother visited you eight times." After Li Mingda finished speaking, he stopped and turned to look at Fang Yizhi.

Fang Yizhi: "There are also chance encounters."

"It's a chance encounter, I know." Li Mingda asked inquiringly, "Write it intentionally for me to see?"

"It's just as ordered to 'no matter how big or small'." Fang Yizhi replied calmly.

Li Mingda couldn't see any other expression on his face.

"Then do you think my fourth brother has ambitions and schemes?" Li Mingda asked Fang Yi to say something different.

Fang Yi understood what Li Mingda meant when he heard the words, and raised his eyes just to meet Li Mingda's gaze.This time, he didn't express it euphemistically, but answered "yes" very simply.

Li Mingda was stunned for a moment, and suddenly got such an affirmative answer that she was not used to it, so she turned to Fang Yizhi: "Then what did he tell you to show his ambition?"

"If you are thirsty for talent, you will achieve great things. These two words have already proved it." Fang Yizhi summed it up concisely, and then said to Li Mingda, "If Nineteenth Lang cares about this elder brother, he should remind him. Now The sage dragon is healthy, wise and powerful, and there are many capable people and virtuous ministers around him. At this time, if you have delusional thoughts, the result will be nothing in the end. "

Li Mingda froze, then nodded slowly, "I have already reminded him, he will go to Dingzhou soon."

"It's fine to leave for a while." Fang Yi looked down at Li Mingda, his eyes brushed from her jade-like forehead to the eyebrows.The princess's long and thick eyelashes happened to hide the emotion in her eyes.Even so, Fang Yizhi could feel a heavy emotion emanating from her body.

Who would have thought that such a cute little girl, usually gentle and smart, talking and laughing, should be a soft and protected person when it comes to big things, but at this time, she is calmer than anyone else. Calm and forbearing.

Fang Yi knew that the princess was worried about his fourth brother's departure, and how the saint doted on Li Tai was well known in the civil and military courts.He would suddenly be willing to let Li Tai go, which must be due to the princess.Fang Yi always thought that the princess must have played a bit of cleverness to facilitate this matter, so now the princess should feel a lot of guilt towards Li Tai.

"Leaving for a short period of time will be beneficial to him in the long run." Fang Yi looked at Li Mingda softly, "You are doing it for his own good and sincerely, so don't feel guilty."

Li Mingda blinked, then raised his eyes to look at the room with red eyes, and smiled slightly.

Obviously Fang Yizhi's words played a very comforting role in her.

"Nineteenth Lang helped my brother, and now there is another friend waiting for you to help." Fang Yi directly quoted the words to divert Li Mingda's thoughts.

Li Mingda thought of Yuchi Baoqi, smiled, then frowned and said, "I don't know why, I always think he's fine."

Li Mingda walked along the official road all the way to the end of the forest. Where it meets the forest is a large sorghum field. When the wind blows, it looks like rolling red waves.

Where the sorghum fields meet the woods, there is a dirt road about half a foot wide, covered with short grass.Li Mingda saw horseshoe prints on a piece of bare land.

She and Fang Yi glanced at each other, then led Cheng Chubi and other guards down the dirt road, headed for Gaoliang Ritian, and walked two or three hundred feet to the side of the mountain. Looking to the left, there was Two horses are tied to a tree in Jintou, a sorghum field.At the place where the tree meets the mountain, there happened to be a spring. There was not much water, but there was enough water for the horses, and the grass around the spring was also very lush. The two horses were very leisurely eating and drinking.

Li Mingda walked to the horse and took a look, and also smelled the incense on Yuchi Baoqi's body.

"It's their horse."

Cheng Chubi hurriedly ordered his subordinates to watch the horse nearby, and then observed the surrounding environment, "There is no sign of fighting or struggling."

Li Mingda pointed to the other side of the mountain, "Look, there is a road."

Everyone took a closer look to the west, and there was indeed a path leading up the mountain behind the shade of the trees.

Li Mingda left a few people here to watch the horses, and then led everyone up the mountain along the path.

When we got halfway up the mountain, the road was cut off, and there was a large thorny bush in front of us.

Fang Yi hastily stretched out his hand to stop Li Mingda, telling her to stay away from these thorny bushes. "This is a poisonous apple. The thorns are poisonous. Soon after scratching a person's skin, it will cause weakness and dizziness."

Li Mingda suddenly sighed: "No wonder the guard who sent the message just rode a fast horse for an hour, as if fainted from exhaustion, it turned out that he was really poisoned."

Li Mingda admired Fang Yizhi's erudition, and immediately asked him if there is a cure for this poison.

"Be patient, drink more water, it will pass naturally, but it is not fatal." Fang Yi said straight.

Li Mingda was relieved, and then ordered people to walk along the poisonous black peach to see if there were any other places to go up the mountain.It was soon discovered that at the westernmost end, there was a ditch with a suspension bridge over the ditch.It just happened to be able to pass through this area of ​​poisonous apples.

Everyone hurriedly went up the bridge one by one, and then continued to walk up the mountain, but they saw a cave.There were many trees growing at the entrance of the cave, and they were tightly covered by dead branches. If Li Mingda hadn't had sharp eyesight, everyone would probably have passed by without noticing it.Looking at the cave from the outside, you can see some light in the depths, which should be connected to both sides.But Cheng Chubi and other guards were still worried that it was not safe inside, so he led a few people to light a torch and went in, and came back after a while to report that the cave leads to the other side of the mountain.

Li Mingda and the others immediately passed through the cave.On the other side of the mountain, the general view is the same as that of the front, except that there is another view at the halfway down the mountain and near the edge of the mountain.It was a flat land on which a wooden house was built.There is also a small vegetable garden near the wooden house, in which there are wombs and luosu. There are many chrysanthemums around the vegetable garden and the wooden house. It is the season when the flowers are blooming, and they are golden, which makes the scenery of this small world more beautiful.The breeze passed by, and there was some faint fragrance, which made people feel quite comfortable and pleasant.

"This place is great. I didn't expect there to be such an excellent hidden place outside our Chang'an city." Changsun Huan, who came after him, exclaimed as soon as he came out of the cave to see this scene.He immediately discussed it with his eldest brother, Chang Sun Chong, and later his brothers would also make one like this.

"I've been in the troubled world for a long time, it's good to live in this kind of place and calm down." Chang Sun Chong echoed.

Li Mingda stretched out his hand and made a "shh" motion, signaling Chang Sun Huan not to make too much noise.Immediately, she waved her hand and sent Cheng Chubi and others to go down the mountain and surround the wooden house first, to see what was going on inside.

"Once there is no one in the house, you all lie in ambush."

Cheng Chubi promised to go with Changsun Huan and Changsun Chong first.

Li Mingda and Fang Yizhi went down the mountain slowly after waiting for them to leave.The hillside is sometimes slow and sometimes steep, and because of the heavy dew in the morning, the soil on the mountain is still a little slippery.Because Li Mingda is easily distracted to observe the surrounding environment and then listen to the sound, he often slips occasionally.Seeing this, Zuo Qingmei kept supporting Li Mingda.

Suddenly, Li Mingda heard Yuchi Baoqi's voice from the other side of the wooden house, she was anxious, her feet slipped, Zuo Qingmei hurriedly grabbed Li Mingda, but because she happened to be unable to stand still, her body immediately tilted.Zuo Qingmei immediately grabbed the nearby branch with her other hand, but because her body was out of balance, she couldn't stop the princess whose body was already leaning over there.

Li Mingda bumped into Fang Yizhi in front of him, and Fang Yizhi who was sideways grabbed his arm and stabilized him.

Just as Li Mingda's forehead hit Fang Yizhi's shoulder, she smelled the fragrance of Ming Ting on Fang Yizhi's body again.He also smelled this smell in the morning, and because he was in a hurry to set off, he didn't think much about it.I almost forgot, Fang Yizhi had stopped using this kind of fragrance before, why did he have it again today, and it was very strong.

"Nineteen Lang, are you alright?" Zuo Qingmei shouted, rushing over to make amends.

Li Mingda immediately distanced himself from Fang Yi, brushed the hair around his ears with his hands, and said to Zuo Qingmei, "It's okay."

Li Mingda looked at Fang Yizhi, "Let's go quickly, Baoqi may be inside the wooden house."

Fang Yi heard Li Mingda's words directly, and naturally confirmed that Yuchi Baoqi was in the wooden house.Seeing that the princess didn't look too flustered, it meant that Yuchi Baoqi's voice was pretty good, at least she didn't suffer any pain, and there were cries of ghosts and wolves.

Fang Yi Zhisui felt relieved and was not in such a hurry.Seeing the place where Youpo was trembling, he still walked ahead. Even if the princess really slipped and fell, and Zuo Qingmei couldn't hold her up, and he couldn't hold her up, he could at least make sure that he landed first and let the princess fall on the ground. on him.

Just when they were about to reach the bottom of the mountain, Changsun Huan, who had already entered the wooden house, came out again and waved to Li Mingda and the others, shouting, "We found them, Baoqi and Duofu are here!"

Yuchi Baoqi looked at the princess and Fang Yizhi in a panic, stepped back in embarrassment, and then bowed and apologized.

"What's the matter with you?" Li Mingda asked.

Yuchi Baoqi: "I met a girl who was injured on the way, so I thought about taking her home before leaving. I didn't expect to be delayed for so long, but I also forgot that I had something important to do."

"You were never so unreliable in your work before." Fang Yizhi criticized coldly.

Yuchi Baoqi apologized again and again, "I see that girl is really pitiful, half of her leg is covered with blood, she finally climbed from the mountain to the side of the road to ask for help, if I don't care about her, in the wilderness, no matter how dark it is, if she encounters a wolf or touches her It’s not good to see the bad guys.”

"Half of the leg is covered in blood, did he climb out of the mountain?" Li Mingda asked.

"Yes, she was picking wild vegetables on the mountain, but she accidentally guessed a trap set by some villain. She hurt her calf and bled a lot. When I saw him, the wound on her left leg was mixed with blood and mud. There were grass blades on it, people were crying all the time, and begging us when they saw us, it was really unbearable.”

Yuchi Baoqi felt sad as she spoke, and sighed that the girl was pitiful.

Fang Yi glanced at Yuchi Baoqi suspiciously, without making judgments.People who happen to appear on the edge of a mountain like this, and when it is most important to be a "bait", should not be ignored, regardless of gender.But Baoqi has never been resistant to weak women, this is his instinct.This matter is due to his temperament, but he can't stop it.

After Yuchi Baoqi saw Li Mingda, he was very happy, and he invited Li Mingda into the wooden house to see the injured girl.

"Her family is a hunter, and her father died. She doesn't have much ability, so she hunts rabbits and digs wild vegetables to support herself."

"You sent a group of us up the mountain to look for you, worrying about you, can you still laugh?" Li Mingda was a little annoyed at seeing Yuchi Baoqi's smile for the first time.

Yuchi Baoqi was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly knelt down to the princess, bowing and apologizing again.

Chang Sun Chong frowned and looked at him: "Do you know how anxious we are to find you, but you are so indifferent."

At this moment, Li Mingda heard the sound of something falling to the ground, followed by a crackling sound.Li Mingda turned his head and looked at the cabin where the sound came from.

After a while, an extremely astonishing face appeared from the door of the house.

The moment Li Mingda saw the woman's face, he suddenly understood why Yuchi Baoqi had forgotten the past, and was determined to save the girl.

"Please don't blame Mr. Yuchi, it's me, it's me, ahem..." The woman even coughed in a pleasant voice, lying on the ground, clutching the door with both hands, really pitiful.

Although this woman is wearing rough clothes in the grasslands, she is clean, her skin is as white as lotus petals, and her face is like a lotus flower out of water, so beautiful and clear, she can be called a fairy in the sky.

At this time, Changsun Chong and Changsun Huan also noticed the movement at the door, and when they looked over, they were both stunned.

Fang Yizhi's eyes followed Li Mingda's all the time, so he, like Li Mingda, saw the woman earlier.At this moment, his eyes are still on the woman, but he is not looking at her face, but at her hands, which are slender and white, they can't be the hands of digging vegetables in the mountains to do rough work.
