Wishful Things

Chapter 349 Firelight

You don't need to worry about things. King Jing warned his son.

His imperial brother was still sitting there, this brat was trying to make trouble for him.

It's also making trouble for Duke Zhen.

You say, this is not a encounter with a bear...

How could there be any bears? This is not a wild mountain den that no one visits on weekdays... It was peaceful in previous years, and I have never heard of anything.

It should be just children playing for fun.

But didn't you see, General Xu is very anxious, General Xu has never seen such a big storm...

It's just such a grandson, it's inevitable to be worried...

There's also Miss Xu... The rumor that the siblings of the Xu family have always been at odds seems to be a rumor.

Yeah, I hope people are okay...

A woman was talking in a low voice.

The few people sitting beside Cui did not dare to say anything, they just reassured her not to worry too much.

But it is impossible not to worry.

If she didn't know that going into the mountain would be of no help, she would have already rushed into the mountain.

At this time, she regretted it very much-why didn't Mr. Yao do a fortune telling before going out this time?

Time passed little by little, and after a long wait for no news to come back, Cui felt as if her heart was being fried in a frying pan.

Don't worry, I'll definitely find it. At this moment, a hand patted her arm lightly, comforting her softly.

When Cui turned her head to look, she saw Xu, the wife of Prince Dingnan's son.

Because there is no intersection on weekdays, Cui Shi was a little surprised by the other party's words of comfort, but it was only normal in such a situation.

So he just nodded gratefully.

The sun gradually turned to the west, and there was a cool breeze everywhere, so many officials and women's family members were waiting here for a long time. Emperor Qingming arranged for people to wait for news here, and then took them back to the palace first.

It is impossible for Cui to leave.

During this spring hunt, her husband was unable to come due to something, and now her father-in-law and daughter have gone into the mountains to find her son, all she can do is stay here.

After returning to the palace, King Jing secretly sent his followers into the mountains to help find someone.

There are some things that you can't do on the surface, but you have to help them secretly.

Also taking advantage of the darkness to quietly send people to help were Empress Wu and Mrs. Xu, as well as two wives who were close friends with Mrs. Cui on weekdays.

It was dark in the forest at night, which made it even more difficult to find people.

Hearing the chattering voices all around, Duke Zhen felt a little impatient.

He asked Yun Liu to ask the emperor to send more people, but who did the emperor send?

There are only a hundred people in total.

This time the emperor left the palace with nearly 2,000 people. Except for the people who guarded the emperor's safety, there were not many people who could be mobilized. But even these 100 people had a lot of traces of acting, because half of them were eunuchs and maids.

There's no way to find it this way—

Wu Chao slowed down, looked at the scattered torches, and said with a slight frown.

He has sent people back to the city to invite Mr. Fang, but it will take time to go back and forth from here to the city.

Xu Mingyi was also full of anxiety.

The scope of the search is too large, and there are indeed insufficient manpower, especially among these people, there are very few people who are really careful and good at tracking.

She didn't even worry about these people at all. She and Wu Chao often had to lead people to search the places they had searched.

Under the light of the fire, the girl's white forehead was covered with fine sweat, and a pair of black eyes flickered on and off: Xu Jiajun's third barracks is only ten miles away, but I can't let my grandfather send troops here...

If you choose to mobilize the Xu family army to search the mountains, you are undoubtedly slapping the emperor in the face, and you may even be slandered by someone with ulterior motives, and you are suspected of taking the opportunity to rebel——

However, the so-called I can't in her mouth is not because she really thinks she can't, but because she weighs the situation.

On the contrary, since she said it, she had moved her mind, otherwise she wouldn't have said it.

Ming Shi is her own younger brother, even if this move may bring unforeseen troubles, even if all of this is a trap, but before his life is in danger, all speculation should be put in the back row!

Even if it is a trap, you have to break through it.

She thought that her grandfather would make the same decision——

The girl looked at the old man who also stopped in front of her.

...I will go to ask the emperor personally! Duke Zhen turned around, took the rein from the servant, and got on the horse without hesitation.

If he asked to mobilize the Xu family army, the emperor could not refuse no matter what.

When he said hello, it was out of face for the other party, trying to minimize the impact and ensure the smooth progress of the process, not to ask the other party for permission!

As for the follow-up matter - find the child and talk about other things!

And if he saw that he wanted to deploy troops, and the sticky emperor wanted to add more manpower to dispel his idea, he would never agree-don't make any mistakes in the palace, or break into an assassin or something, and blame him later to find his grandson for him!

This soldier, tonight he has assigned!

Something seems wrong.

When Zhen Guozheng was about to drive his horse away, he suddenly heard the young man next to his granddaughter speak.

Lord Zhen Guo looked over, and saw the boy's eyes looking in the direction of the palace.

At this time, they were on a hillside. Although they were covered by trees, they had a relatively wide field of vision, and they could see the colorful palace with scattered lights at a glance.

Xu Mingyi also followed Wu Chao's gaze.

In the next moment, he was slightly startled and said: ...it seems to be flooded?

There is a place of light in the palace that is particularly eye-catching, and it seems to have the image of flames!

If you listen carefully, you can faintly hear the chaotic and noisy sounds coming from afar.

The eyes of Lord Zhen Guo on horseback changed: It's the direction of Yueming Pavilion!

Yueming Pavilion?

Xu Mingyi subconsciously looked at Wu Chao beside him.

Wu Chao explained to her: The place where the emperor stays—

Xu Mingyi's eyes also changed.

How could the emperor's bedroom suddenly catch fire? !

I'll go back and have a look first! Duke Zhen didn't delay any longer, and hurried away.

Anyway, he was going to ask the emperor for instructions, and seeing that the palace was on fire, it was related to the safety of the emperor, so it would be unreasonable if he behaved too indifferently.

Is there something strange...

Hearing the sound of horseshoes fading away, Xu Mingyi frowned, a little uneasy.

Ming Shi disappeared during the hunting process and left almost no clues, which is already very strange. Right now, there is a fire in the palace, and it happens to be the emperor's residence. Although the dog emperor does have the potential to be punished by his only bad luck, she still thinks it's too coincidental...
