Ah Ying looked at Qin Zhen's two brothers, and he left after the time passed.Qin Zhen received thirty lashes, and lay down in his tent crying as soon as he returned.

He originally sent the palace servants to the emperor's camp to report how his elder brother was so vicious to him.But the palace people had just walked halfway when they heard someone come to report: "Report—report to Your Majesty! The Prince's Highness went hunting in the forest by himself in the afternoon, but he disappeared in the evening, and there is no news of His Highness yet."

When the palace man passed the message, Xianglu happened to be talking to him in the emperor's camp. After hearing what the palace man reported, he quickly stood up: "Where are the people who went out with His Royal Highness?! You bunch of idiots, even His Highness doesn't like it." , if something happens to His Highness, I will kill you and be buried with you!"

Before Qin Yuan could speak, Xiang Lu began to reprimand the palace servants instead.Seeing this, Qin Yuan stood up and said: "Order the imperial army to go out to look for the prince overnight, and call the people who traveled with the prince today, and I will personally interrogate them where the prince has gone."

Xianglu heaved a sigh of relief when he heard Qin Yuan say this, and sat back down again.After the palace servants left, Qin Yuan looked at Xianglu: "Don't worry, King Nanling, my son, Jiren, has his own aura, and he will be safe and sound."

"Of course I know the auspiciousness of the prince, but it's a snowy night, if something happens to His Royal Highness..."

When he said this, Qin Yuan suddenly sneered: "The crown prince is my own son, why are you, an uncle, more worried about him than I am?"

Xianglu heard that there was something in his words: "I only have a younger sister, Mu Ling, and the only one left behind by her is Axue. Your Majesty is different from my minister. You have so many sons, and my relatives in this world are very few. number."

"I just said one more thing, how could King Nanling be so thoughtful? That's all, I have already sent people to look for the prince, if you are not at ease, you can follow the imperial army to find the prince yourself."

After Qin Yuan finished speaking, Xianglu watched him silent for a moment, and he immediately stood up and said, "The minister will leave first!" After speaking, he strode out of the tent, picked up his sword and bow and arrow A group of people chased into the depths of Hangu.

Not long after, news spread that at the same time that the crown prince disappeared, Xiao Yu and Qin Luochuan also disappeared. Besides these three high-ranking people, there was another one who was the son of General Zuo Wuwei, Chang Jianzhi. Didn't come back either...

The emperor had sent half of the forbidden army to look for these people, but several hours had passed, and there was still no news of the prince.

***

The white snow in the forest was splattered with blood, and people in black clothes fell in disorder, and many weapons were scattered around them.

Xiao Yu hastily wiped the blood off his face, and he chased in the direction of a pile of horseshoes.When he was hunting not long ago, he noticed that the accompanying guards were different. He didn't expect that those people couldn't hold back just halfway through the road.

It's just that he got lost with Qin Xuechuan when he was fighting those assassins, and he doesn't know how Qin Xuechuan is doing now.

This assassin could enter the imperial camp so easily, he might be someone from the hunting ground.

Although Xiao Yu pretended to know nothing, he could still see the traps in the forest. He escaped the traps but found that the people around him had disappeared, and Qin Xuechuan also disappeared from his sight. up.

He thought about it carefully: Someone must have deliberately set up a trick to lure him here...

Xiao Yu was afraid that there were still assassins around who hadn't been eliminated, so he got off his horse and carefully led the horse forward.

He hadn't taken a few steps when he heard the sound of branches shaking behind his ears.Xiao Yu frowned slightly, he raised his bow and shot an arrow at the person hiding in the dark.

The arrow landed firmly on the tree with a "swish", and the person squatting on the tree suddenly said, "Your Majesty, you are my subordinate!"

Xiao Yu put away his bow after hearing the voice: "Dai Qing?"

The man jumped down from the tree lightly, and from his posture, it can be seen that his lightness kung fu is very good.That person looked to be about the same age as Xiao Yu, maybe even younger than him.

He was dressed in black with a brown buckskin scarf around his neck.

Xiao Yu looked at him: "How did you find this place?"

Before Dai Qing could answer his question, he first took out an arrow from the quiver on his back and handed it to Xiao Yu: "Your Majesty, please have a look!"

Xiao Yu took the arrow, but the arrow on the wooden arrow had been lost, and there was no lettering on the tail of the arrow.

"This is..." Xiao Yu frowned.

Dai Qing continued to report: "My lord, this arrow belongs to those assassins, it is the same as the arrow that secretly attacked the prince that day."

After Xiao Yu finished listening, his brows relaxed, and he chuckled lightly: "I'm afraid someone has already arranged it in secret, but it's so obvious that it attracts too much attention. If you really want to murder the prince, why do you want to do it so obviously? I'm afraid there are many articles in it."

After Xiao Yu finished speaking, he looked at him and asked, "How is the situation in the imperial camp now?"

Dai Qing replied: "The prince and the fifth prince are missing. The imperial army is looking for people everywhere now, but it is almost midnight and they still haven't found anyone. The prince may be..."

Xiao Yu interrupted him before he could say the four words "a lot of bad luck and a bad luck" behind him: "Follow me and follow these footprints to find His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. If you want to see people, if you want to see people, if you want to see dead bodies."

Dai Qing hesitated for a moment, he still had doubts in his heart, but at the moment he did not ask, but accepted Xiao Yu's order: "Yes! This subordinate obeys!"

***

Qin Xuechuan knew long ago that as long as he was still the prince, as long as he was still alive, his life would not be so easy.This winter hunting, he thought he was just making up the numbers, but he didn't expect that he still fell into someone else's trap.

He felt like all the bones in his body were falling apart.

Whether it's TV dramas or novels, jumping off a cliff to survive is an unchanging law. Maybe Qin Xuechuan often fantasizes about these things. He thinks that if he takes a step forward, he will definitely be killed by an assassin, and there may be a chance of survival if he jumps down.

Sure enough...he survived.

There are crooked trees growing under the cliff, and those branches are intricately intertwined. When he fell, he was buffered by those branches so that he did not die.It's just that now that he was lying on the icy snow, the bones on his body were not broken, but there were a lot of cuts by the branches.

In particular, there was a long bloodstain on his pale neck by a tree branch. Now he was cold and hurt all over. He really wanted to stretch out his hand to cover the bleeding wound, but he had no strength at all. His consciousness was still awake, but he couldn't stand up, and even his body temperature was disappearing bit by bit.

"No... no..." His trembling hand slowly reached out to the knife that fell beside him.

How can this be?

How could he die in such a place? He didn't want to accept his fate, and he didn't want to be a stepping stone for others. His fate could only be decided by himself.If he wants to live, no one can make him die...

Qin Xuechuan gritted his teeth. He lay on the snow for a long time, and when he looked up, he saw the stars all over the sky.He remembered that he had seen this sky full of stars when winter just entered... If he just closed his eyes like this, he would never see such a starry sky again tomorrow.

Qin Xuechuan blinked, he felt a little strength recovered from his body, he grabbed the knife enduring the severe pain in his body, and supported his body with the knife to let himself sit up slowly.

He stretched out his other frozen hand to cover the wound on his neck, and blood flowed down his collar.The blood was warm, at least to restore some warmth to his stiff hands.

Qin Xuechuan didn't know how deep the wound was, and he bled so much. Fortunately, it wasn't the carotid artery that was cut, otherwise he would have died when he fell down.

He took a few breaths of cold air and coughed uncontrollably.Now he feels a dull pain in his chest and is very uncomfortable... For some reason, he always feels that this kind of scene is somewhat familiar, but he also feels that this kind of thing should not happen to him.

He felt that he would not die by jumping off the cliff... But at this moment, he suddenly heard a few howling wolves.The sound of howling wolves was approaching him...

Qin Xuechuan became nervous again, the blood in his whole body seemed to flow backwards.

This is Hangu, where there are the most beasts.These wolves were probably attracted here by his blood.Qin Xuechuan had seen wolves in the zoo before, and those people were domesticated by humans, so they would not hurt others, but the ones walking towards him at the moment were genuine wild wolves.

They don't care who is lying in the snow, as long as they are very hungry, they will even eat people.

Qin Xuechuan sighed, he didn't expect that he had just escaped a catastrophe, but in the end he was about to be buried in the belly of a wolf again.

The stars in the distant sky are getting darker and darker, and the sky is about to light up...

Qin Xuechuan dragged his scarred body forward. He was seriously injured, so he walked very slowly. When he reached a corner between a wound hole, he saw a few eyes with fierce eyes. A wolf of evil light came towards him.

Qin Xuechuan had never seen such a big wolf before, he was so frightened that he couldn't speak...

How to do how to do?

What should I say now?Help?Is there anyone to rescue him?

But even if he said it, no one would hear it...

When a wolf roared and rushed towards him with its bloody mouth open, Qin Xuechuan didn't know where the courage and strength came from, and he raised his knife and slashed at the wolf's neck.

He knew where the animal's carotid artery was, and the wolf's blood spurted and splashed all over him.

At this moment, the veins on his forehead popped out, and he roared, "Come on—"

Seeing that their companions were hacked to death by him, the wolves were a little afraid and did not dare to move forward. They neighed even louder, making one's hair stand on end.

Qin Xuechuan didn't know what was wrong with him, his hands trembled uncontrollably, and his eyes gradually blurred...

No, you can't close your eyes, you can't close your eyes...

He leaned against the cold stone wall and slid down. At this moment, he heard the hissing of those wolves that was different from before. The sound seemed to be wailing after being tortured.

The first ray of light at dawn shone on the blood-stained snow, and Qin Xuechuan vaguely seemed to hear someone calling him, and he saw a vague figure.

He suspected that he was returning to the past, so he murmured: "Xiao Yu..."

Then, he couldn't see anything.
