Huo Changhe was more rational than Wen Zhiyan and felt that Li Jingyao was so far away that he would not just bring this news.

If General Wen was still here, this would be a happy event, and he would not have this look and this tone.

Wen Zhiyan finally stopped crying and read it carefully.

"So, is there any trace of my father? Do you know where he is?"

Li Jingyao's throat rolled slightly: "Zhiyan, I want to apologize to you first. This is a serious matter. I was shocked at the time. I was afraid that the news was wrong, and I was even more afraid that someone deliberately did it to seduce you. Come forward.”

Huo Changhe secretly approved, Li Jingyao was indeed thoughtful.

Li Jingyao took a sip of tea and smiled bitterly: "So, I went to General Wen's grave."

Wen Zhiyan's face turned pale. Li Jingyao didn't understand, but Wen Zhiyan also guessed it.

General Wen's family died tragically. Although everyone thought it was the intention of the imperial court at the time, even if they were beheaded, they had to be allowed to collect the bodies. Some local people, especially those around the Wen family, who had received favors from the Wen family, spontaneously gave it to the Wen family. The corpses were collected and tombs were built.

Wen Zhiyan's throat seemed to be blocked and his voice trembled: "What's the result?"

Li Jingyao looked at him and said word by word: "The coffin is empty."

Wen Zhiyan's hand trembled and the portrait fell to the ground.

Huo Changhe leaned over to pick it up. Wen Zhiyan stood up and grabbed Li Jingyao's arm: "Then..."

There were thousands of words in his heart, how could his father not be dead? How could he get out of the coffin? Where have you gone? Do you know he is still alive? Why didn't you come to him?

All kinds of things are competing in the throat, but not a word can be squeezed out.

Li Jingyao knew what he was thinking and whispered: "After seeing this result, I immediately sent a messenger to investigate the matter with all my strength. I found out that Uncle Wen is indeed still alive, but he seems not to be very conscious. .”

"According to what Xinhou said, I drew a road map and found that his route was winding and irregular, but after going around and around, he seemed to be heading northwest, so I decided to take you to see him in person."

Wen Zhiyan's lips trembled slightly, but he couldn't say anything.

A wise and martial father, whom he respected and admired since childhood, risked his life to protect his father at a critical moment.

Are you unconscious?

What does it mean?

Wen Zhiyan didn't dare to ask or think.

After a while, he turned to look at Huo Changhe: "Your Majesty, I once said that I must be loyal to Your Majesty, I..."

As he said this, he wanted to salute Huo Changhe, but Huo Changhe held him back.

"Major General, I understand what you mean. If General Wen is here, I will be as happy as you. No matter what, I will try my best to find him."

"If you want to go, if your body allows it, I will never stop you."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Before he finished speaking, a signal arrow suddenly shot into the sky.

Huo Changhe's expression immediately changed: "Princess!"

……

Yan Ruyu held the handle of the knife with both hands, the tip of the knife resting on the ground. The sweat on her forehead made her hair soaked, and her arms were sore.

But the person opposite her was unscathed, his cloudy eyes were still staring at her, heavy breath was coming from his nose and mouth, and there was a strange sound in his throat.

Yan Ruyu knew clearly that she was no match for this person, and if she continued to delay, she would be injured soon.

That's why the signal arrow was released.

When the signal arrow took off, the man seemed to be startled for a moment, looking up at the sky, but it only took a moment before he stared at her again.

He didn't move, and neither did Yan Ruyu, trying to maintain his strength and recover as soon as possible.

However, this person did not give Yan Ruyu too much time, but in the blink of an eye, he rushed up again with a low roar.

With just a pair of fists, he faced Yan Ruyu's double swords without any fear or weakness.

Yan Ruyu has never encountered such a difficult opponent since arriving here.

He struggled to resist, thinking to himself why Huo Changhe hadn't come yet. The manor was too big, which was not a good thing.

Lost in his thoughts, no one noticed that the man smashed his fist down and went straight to Yan Ruyu's head.

Yan Ruyu was startled, and hurriedly twisted around, avoiding her head but missing her shoulder. The fist rubbed half of her shoulder. She only felt that the fist was like a hammer, and her bones were almost broken. The pain was so painful that she dropped the knife. .

Gritting his teeth, he took advantage of the situation and stepped back. The man's offensive did not decrease. Yan Ruyu stumbled under her feet again, seeming to have touched the round ball again, and there was another roar in her head.

Yan Ruyu didn't know whether to laugh or cry. It was really a leak in the house, and it rained all night, and it couldn't be beaten, so why did it come out like this?

She staggered a few steps, and the man behind her also caught up, and seemed to have stumbled. The ferocious guy who was attacking Yan Ruyu fiercely and wanted to kill her suddenly stopped and hugged his head.

Yan Ruyu was puzzled, but she had no time to think too much, so she seized the opportunity and ran away quickly.

At this moment, Huo Changhe also arrived.

As soon as he saw her appearance, he knew that she was injured, and it was not serious, and murderous intent suddenly burst out from her body.

"Yu'er, where are you hurt?" He wanted to help her, but didn't dare, for fear of hurting her again.

Yan Ruyu took a deep breath and forced a smile: "It's okay, my left shoulder is fine."

Huo Changhe saw that her arms were hanging limply and she was missing one knife. Just by looking at her face, he knew that it was not as simple as she said.

I was very upset, secretly blaming myself for not being with Yan Ruyu, so I took off my cloak to protect her, feeling extremely uncomfortable.

Seeing him like this, Yan Ruyu comforted her in a low voice: "Don't be sad, Your Majesty. I'm really fine. I just got hit a little bit and there's no bleeding. I've been delicate for a long time and I can't stand a little pain."

Huo Changhe hugged her gently: "Wait, I will avenge you."

He pulled out the knife with a "swish" and was about to meet the enemy when he suddenly heard the trembling voice of Wen Zhiyan coming from behind, full of disbelief: "Father?"

Huo Changhe and Yan Ruyu suddenly turned around and looked at the burly but ragged man, with his hair stuck in one place, his face so dirty that his original appearance could not be seen, and his whole body reeked of stench.

Yan Ruyu had never seen General Wen, but Huo Changhe had. However, the contrast between before and after was too great. Just now, his attention was all on Yan Ruyu, and he never thought that the person in front of him was General Wen.

"Father?" Wen Zhiyan called again.

General Wen held his head in his hands. Perhaps the discomfort just now had passed, or perhaps because he heard Wen Zhiyan's voice, he slowly lowered his hands.

Looking over with cloudy eyes, the originally stiff and numb expression seemed to have changed, and the strange noise in his throat also became louder.

He seemed excited too.

But it's different from normal people.

Wen Zhiyan walked over there excitedly, and Li Jingyao held him back: "Don't go there."

"That's my father," Wen Zhiyan burst into tears.

His family was wiped out, his parents and sister died tragically, and he himself escaped from death. He thought he had no relatives in the world, but suddenly he saw his most admired father again.

How can you not be excited?

He gently broke away from Li Jingyao's hand and walked over slowly.
