Youwei, the heir of the Red Chamber

In the empty valley, there was the sound of horseshoes. First, two horses ran over in embarrassment, leaving a series of usual horseshoe marks.Then thousands of horses followed closely.When the thousands of horses reached the fork in the road, they finally stopped.

Jia Lian sat on the horse, looked at the fork in the road with footprints on both sides, and thought secretly.

Lou Feng was seriously injured, and Afugan Yuetai would not let him escape alone, so there was only one way to catch up with him.He looked carefully at the horseshoe marks on both sides, and then sneered.

"Lou Ming, you lead 2000 people to the intersection on the left to track them down, remember to capture them alive,"

"The last general obeys orders." Lou Ming hurried away with his troops.

Then he ordered Lin Tuo, "Lin Tuo, if you take 2000 troops to the right to follow up, you will also be captured alive."

"Follow the order." He also led his men and horses to follow him.

Only Jia Lian, Zhu Kui and the remaining [-] soldiers and horses were left on the spot.

Jia Lian looked at the surrounding mountains, and the snow on them showed signs of falling off.On one side of the mountain, there are traces of being swept by branches.His eyes lit up, and he immediately ordered: "The rest of you follow me up the mountain to look for it."

"Yes."

Horses are not suitable for riding on the mountain, so everyone got off their horses, leaving only 100 people standing by.The rest of the people went up the mountain to look for Lou Feng's whereabouts.At this time, the snow in the mountains is very thick, and every step is very difficult, and sometimes you even fall into an unknown hole, and you can't go up again.Everyone walked very cautiously, basically trying to walk one by one.

The pursuit took a whole day and night, and the men and horses who went to track each other at the fork road had returned without success. When they returned to Yecheng, they were stopped by Zhongshun who had been waiting at the gate of the city for a whole day.

After Zhongshun learned of the great victory in the battle, he was full of surprises in his heart, but when he heard that Jia Lian personally led people to chase after Lou Feng, he poured cold water like a pot of cold water, and the surprise disappeared without a trace.

The mountains are already very dangerous at this time, landslides and avalanches may happen at any time, and although Lou Feng was defeated this time, there are also reasons for his underestimation of the enemy, his own scheming and strategy cannot be underestimated.This time, Jia Lian took the risk of going after them, and the danger in it is difficult to calm down.Although he also wanted to eradicate Lou Feng in his heart, but if Jia Lian was put in danger, he would not be willing to do so.

He was sitting in a carriage covered with thick fox fur and blankets, holding a stove in his hand, and had been waiting at the gate of the city for a day.At this time, when he saw someone coming back, he immediately summoned someone to ask Jia Lian's whereabouts.

Those who were brought were Lou Ming and Lin Tuo.When they knew that Jia Lian hadn't come back, they were shocked.

Lou Ming bowed his body and said, "My lord, when we and General Jia tracked to the foot of Yunshan Mountain, we tracked separately and did not go with the general."

Zhong Shun sat in the carriage, his eyes filled with worry. He looked at Lin Tuo again, but Lin Tuo also shook his head, "The same is true for my subordinates."

At this time, Zhongshun's heart was already burning with worry.

The aftermath work of the army is almost finished, and the good news of the victory of this battle has been sent to the court in Kyoto.Since last night, Feng Tang and other veterans have already "healed" one after another, and have regained their positions in the army.If Jia Lian hadn't come back this time, then the military exploits this time would have been picked up by old things like Feng Tang.

Many soldiers who rose up with Jia Lian retreated from their positions, feeling unwilling, but helpless. The prestige of Feng Tang and others in the army is not comparable to that of these newcomers. If this time Jia Lian didn't come back, they didn't have anyone in charge, so this time they made wedding clothes for others for nothing.Thinking of this, the soldiers and generals all looked forward to their appearance.

There was no news all night, and it snowed heavily all night, and no trace could be found.Zhongshun once again sent elite soldiers to the mountains to look for the whereabouts of Jia Lian and others.

Finally, when it was slightly bright the next day, some of the soldiers who accompanied Jia Lian to search for him fled back. They were covered in messes and their faces were sad, as if they had experienced a narrow escape.They brought back a very bad news-an avalanche occurred in the mountains, and General Jia, Vice General Zhu and some soldiers lost their traces.

This is a bolt from the blue, an avalanche, and it is really close to death!

When Zhongshun got the news, he felt his whole body go limp, and his heart felt like a knife was being twisted.Some days of the two of them getting along flashed through his mind, and he suddenly felt that Jia Lian had sacrificed for him, but he had never done anything for him.He desperately rescued himself from Lou Feng's hands, but he designed him to lose his marriage for his own selfishness.When the two got along, I repeatedly made things difficult for him, but he was always indifferent. Even when I planned Feng Ziying's death, I made him a scapegoat. He couldn't completely trust him. Thinking about it now, what's the use of this half tiger talisman in his hand? !He slammed the tiger amulet on the ground, and sat on the ground slumped, clenching his teeth tightly, enduring the pain from the cold poison in his body.

Liu Xia worriedly walked over to support Zhongshun. "My lord."

"Get out!" Pushed Liu Xia away fiercely.Zhongshun's eyes were already blood red.He staggered to his feet and staggered towards the door.

"My lord." Liu Xia worriedly followed behind.

Then, Lou Ming received the military order, and Prince Zhongshun went out to look for Jia Lian and the others under the avalanche.

In the middle of Yunshan Mountain, there is a vast expanse of whiteness and silence. The heavy snow avalanche the day before yesterday has covered many trees in the middle of the mountain tightly. The general Jia Lian who defeated the Rouran thief.

Looking at this thick snowdrift, everyone has already begun to give up hope.

Zhongshun clenched his fists tightly, his heart was beating violently, the cold poison in his body had been awakened more and more because of the long-term icy environment, the cold air from inside to outside made his lips turn from white to purple, Liuli The dark eyes also looked weak.

He looked at those people who were digging the snowdrift, and felt very conflicted. He hoped to dig out Jia Lian, but he didn't want to.If there is no trace of this person, does it prove that he is still alive, but trapped in a certain mountain.

Not long after he thought this way, he saw several soldiers making a noise, with his nails stuck in his palms, waiting for the herald to report the situation.After the herald came to explain the situation, he was relieved that it was not Jia Lian, but a soldier.

Then, one by one, the corpses were carried out.The bodies of those people were already as stiff as ice cubes.

The work of poaching people is very difficult, and the heavy snow keeps falling, and many people can no longer stand the severe cold.

Suddenly—"I found the general's sword."

A tall ordinary soldier hurried over holding Jia Lian's sword and handed it to the herald.He is Jia Lian's personal entourage, so he can tell at a glance that this is Jia Lian's close-up sword.

Zhongshun touched the cold saber with trembling hands, only feeling pain in his body like thousands of arrows piercing through the heart.

He braced himself up, jumped out of the carriage with all his might, ran to the huge snowdrift regardless of others' obstruction, and started digging the snowdrift with his bare hands.

"Jia Lian, Jia Lian..." While digging, he shouted heart-piercingly.

The followers are busy to stop.

"Get out of here, get out of here, my lord." Zhong Shun's eyes had lost the calmness of the past, and at this moment he only had one belief, which was to dig him out of this cold grave.Can't let him lie in this cold snow.

"Jia Lian, come out for this king, come out for this king." The voice was already a little hoarse.

Others did not dare to stop them, so they had to follow along and dig through the vast snow as quickly as possible.

After a while, Zhongshun's hands were so cold that he lost consciousness.He kept digging, but to no avail.Suddenly, his hand was blocked by something, and he felt a thump in his heart. He accelerated the speed of his hand, scraped away the layer of snow, and suddenly found a long strip.He picked it up with both hands, only to see that it was a crystal clear jade flute.

"This, this is... is..." Zhongshun only felt his head turn white, a salty smell in his throat, and a mouthful of blood, which stained the white snow in front of him red, and then lost in panic shouts. Intuition.

The author has something to say: Every person with fragile feelings must go through an unfathomable life and death in order to see through the value of this feeling in his heart.
