The escape system takes me to dig for treasures

As soon as Jiang Xi entered the room, he saw that Song Zhaocheng and his wife both looked unhappy.

She felt a little uneasy. The two men seemed to be in a trance. She didn't know what they were thinking about, and she didn't even notice them when they entered the room.

"Uncle Song, Aunt Song!"

Jiang Xi called out to the two of them.

Mr. and Mrs. Song Zhaocheng finally came to their senses, and Mrs. Song's eyes were still slightly red.

Song Zhaocheng responded to Jiang Li, "Ali is here!"

All the servants in the room were sent out by the couple, leaving only the three of them.

"uncle and auntie!"

Jiang Xi hesitated and asked, "Did something happen?"

Mrs. Song's voice was a little tearful, "Ah Li, Yun Ting was stabbed on the way back."

Song Zhaocheng comforted her, "Yun Ting is fine, don't be like this, you're scaring Ah Li."

Mrs. Song finally reacted and forced a smile towards Jiang Xi.

Listening to the conversation between Song Zhaocheng and his wife, Jiang Xi's heart finally settled down.

Mrs. Song gradually calmed down, and then she began to tell Jiang Xi what had happened.

It turned out that Song Yunting and General Wu were on their way back from the border, and the army was marching at a relatively fast speed.

Song Yunting was anxious to return to the capital first, as the news that they were about to return to the capital also needed to be brought back to the capital.

So General Wu fulfilled his wish and let Song Yunting accept this task.

Who would have thought that Song Yunting, with a small team of about ten people, had a relatively smooth journey, but was ambushed in a place less than 60 kilometers away from the capital.

Now the news reached the palace. When Song Zhaocheng was summoned to the palace by the emperor, his legs went weak when he stepped into the palace gate.

The emperor and Song Zhaocheng have been in a relationship of monarch and subject for more than 20 years. Although they have become somewhat estranged in recent years, when Song Zhaocheng's only son was assassinated and no news came out, Emperor Xuanyang was still willing to show a little goodwill.

Song Zhaocheng forced himself to listen to the emperor's words of comfort, not knowing how to tell his wife the news of his son's disappearance.

He spent two hours outside digesting the news and asked his followers to prepare the carriage. Just as he was about to get on the carriage, a beggar ran past him quickly and almost knocked him down.

The servant beside Song Zhaocheng shouted angrily at the beggar, and Song Zhaocheng waved his hand, signaling the servant not to pay any more attention.

Only when he was on the carriage and alone did Song Zhaocheng take out the small piece of paper in his hand with trembling hands and look at it.

After returning home, Song Zhaocheng still couldn't hide his sadness and told Mrs. Song the news that Song Yunting had been assassinated in front of the servants.

Mrs. Song immediately burst into tears, lost her composure and started crying.

Seeing this, Song Zhaocheng drove the servants out and asked someone to find Jiang Xi.

Song Zhaocheng handed the note directly to Jiang Xi.

The above is the news that Song Yunting is safe.

Originally, he was the son of a civil servant. Although he had made remarkable achievements during the march and battle, his qualifications were still too shallow. Even if there were anyone in the court who was jealous, they would not be jealous of Song Yunting, the captain of the cavalry. If they wanted to assassinate someone, they should target General Wu.

Song Zhaocheng and his team don’t know the specific reason.

Song Yunting just asked Song Zhaocheng to help him find someone.

But now that the news of Song Yunting's disappearance has come out, everyone is eyeing the Song family, and Song Zhaocheng is not in a position to take action.

They could only call Jiang Xi. At this time, Jiang Xi's family status was relatively low, but this actually showed his advantages.

Although he had been in the capital for many days, two or three months already, Jiang Xi had rarely accompanied Madam Song to attend banquets, so Jiang Xi had little sense of presence among the aristocratic families in the capital.

After receiving the task from Song Zhaocheng, Jiang Xi went back to work as usual.

The atmosphere in the Song Mansion suddenly became depressed. Song Zhaocheng asked for leave and went out of the city to track down his son's whereabouts.

Mrs. Song also insisted on going with them. After all, she didn't have the body of those daughters of wealthy families in the capital. She had been able to ride a horse since she was young and was no worse than her brothers. It was just that she hid her true nature after getting married.

The couple went out of the city together. Mrs. Song rode a horse and ran faster than Song Zhaocheng's carriage.

Seeing that the couple no longer cared about etiquette and manners, many families in the capital were watching and laughing at the joke.

In the palace, the emperor heard the eunuch serving beside him talking about what he had heard about the misconduct of Song Zhaocheng and his wife. He just sighed and said it was a pity.

The host and hostess of the Song Mansion went out at once, and many people were talking about it.

Jiang Xi had been going in and out these days and was very busy, but he did not use the Song family's carriage. He just passed by the gatehouse and heard the cleaning woman and the gatekeeper discussing something.

"If the young master really can't be found and can't come back, I wonder if the master and his wife can bear it?"

"What should we do if the master and his wife really can't bear it?"

Although the master of the Song family is in a high position and has great power, the family is small and the masters live a simple life, so everyone's work is easier.

Jiang Xi did not disturb them and turned away.

Song Zhaocheng did not dare to relax. Since he didn't know who was behind the attack, he could only go to the place where Song Yunting was ambushed.

When we arrived, people from the imperial court were already searching there.

After searching for half a month, they finally found a charred mummy. The moment Mrs. Song saw the charred mummy, she fainted from tears.

He was around 40 years old, not young anymore, and he had been running around for several days, so he was already a little exhausted.

In the end, Song Zhaocheng managed to hold on and brought back the bodies of his fainted wife and his "dead" son.

At this time, the army, which had lagged behind and was slowly advancing from the border to the capital, was finally able to enter the capital by Song Yunting.

General Wu heard about Song Yunting's disappearance on the way, but he didn't expect to learn that Song Yunting's body had been found as soon as he entered the city.

He suppressed his grief and went into the city to meet the emperor.

Originally, the emperor was going to welcome the army at the palace gate when it returned triumphantly. However, long before the Wu family set out on the expedition, the emperor had been dissatisfied with the Wu family. He always felt that the Wu family held too much power and wanted to put the Wu family in cold storage. However, who knew that the other people he sent out were so incompetent that they were beaten by the Hu people and even lost two cities.

Now, General Wu not only recovered the two lost cities, but also captured two more cities of the Hu people. He defeated the Hu people so badly that they knelt down and begged for mercy.

When the emperor first heard the news, he felt like he had let out a sigh of relief.

But now, when General Wu returned to the capital to report on his work, he felt that the outstanding performance of the Wu family was like a slap in the face, as if they were mocking his original decision.

The emperor was angry. On the one hand, he hated the lack of people in the court, and on the other hand, he was afraid of the Wu family.
