At the Tongque Army camp in Dangyang County, Princess Shui Ruyue was frowning. After receiving the news from Shen Xiaoyu from Luoyu Pavilion, she immediately sent two hundred soldiers to search in the deep valley behind Tongque Mountain. Cheng Zifei offered his advice. They also found several hunters in the mountains and asked the soldiers to bring enough ropes to slowly lower the people from the top of the back mountain of Tongque Mountain in an attempt to find the prince.

Even Tong Gensheng, the old master of Qingniu Palace, was alarmed. Hundreds of Taoist priests from Tong's sect joined the search for the prince. They brought rice, vegetables and tents and stationed themselves in the back mountain of Tongque Mountain, constantly using The rope was used to let people go down the cliff, but they still couldn't find any clues about the prince.

Shui Ruyue was afraid that the information was not reliable enough, so he personally led more than a thousand people to the back mountain to search for five days. He also sent a dozen people with good water skills to sneak into the bottom of the unknown lake in the back mountain to search. The lake was clear and transparent. If It was natural to see the corpse, but there were no traces of the prince anywhere.

Seeing that the hope of finding his junior brother was getting slimmer and slimmer, Shui Ruyue, who was sitting in the military tent waiting for news, felt sad and shed tears. Liu Ruqing was on the side trying to persuade her, saying that auspicious people have their own destiny and look at their faces. The prince is also a person with a long life and so on. While Liu Ruqing was trying to persuade him, a small school rushed in to report, "To report to the princess, there are Jiang Zhenyu and others outside the camp asking to see the queen!"

When Shui Ruyue heard that Fatty was coming, she was overjoyed. She quickly stood up and took Liu Ruqing to greet her. She saw Fatty Jiang walking in from outside the military camp with his big head shaking, accompanied by Shui Rulong and others. Shui Ruyue saw When the fat man and his brother arrived, they could see their relatives. They couldn't help but burst into tears. Shui Rulong hurried over to comfort his sister.

The fat man shook his big head and said with a dry smile: "I mean, Princess, my elder sister-in-law, don't cry yet! Although our prince, Old Tang, has not been found yet, that is not necessarily a bad thing. Not finding a body means that this is There is a great possibility that the person is still alive! Fatty is here today, just to find him and bring him back in person!"

Shui Ruyue quickly wiped her tears, "Fat man, of course I hope he is safe! I'm just afraid that he fell under the cliff and was eaten by wolves, tigers and leopards before he fell to death, so we never found him!"

The fat man shook his head, "No, no, if you think about it carefully, even if you are eaten by some tiger, leopard or bear, the bones must be left! Besides, there are two people who fell, even if they are both eaten by wild beasts, The Seven Emotions Sword is inedible, so there’s no way you can’t even find the sword! Is that the truth? Call Fatty and let me see. Old Tang Fu had great destiny and great fortune. He might have been saved by some wise hermit. , he might be practicing some peerless martial arts!"

Hearing what the fat man said, Shui Ruyue felt that it made sense, and hope was rekindled in her heart. The fat man and others followed Shui Ruyue into the tent, and everyone sat down and each poured tea.

The fat man drank two large bowls of tea one after another, and then he said: "My throat is burning! It took three days to run all the way from Anshu County, and several horses were exhausted to death, but how many of our brothers were beaten?" I'm so exhausted! I heard from Ximen's second sister-in-law and Du Ruo's sister-in-law that Old Tang disappeared after competing with others, which made me anxious! I just saw Cheng Zifei rushing to the back mountain outside, and this guy said Long Zi Lan jumped off a cliff with Old Tang in her arms, and she doesn’t know whether it’s true or not!”

Shen Xiaoyu on the side was not happy, "Can it be false? Tongjun Yuhe said it to the master of the Jiannan branch of Luoyu Pavilion himself!"

The fat man shook his head, "That Yuhetong-jun is not a good thing! Don't believe everything he says. But if Old Tang and the others really jumped off the cliff, they should focus on searching the bottom of the cliff, and there must be people up and down! "

Shui Ruyue nodded, "I have sent two hundred soldiers to detour to the cliff of the back mountain to search! We are temporarily letting people down from the top of the back mountain with ropes, and slowly looking for traces of the prince. I am afraid that this news will not be revealed. Insurance, I took people to search the back mountain again, but still found nothing!"

The fat man slapped his thigh and said, "My sister-in-law, you sent two hundred people there when Tongque Mountain is as big as Tongque Mountain and at the bottom of the cliff and valley in the back mountain. No wonder you couldn't find it! Let alone two hundred people, it was two thousand people." , it’s far from enough for the deep valley in the back mountain! Okay, Fatty, I know what’s going on. Give me a thousand soldiers and horses, and lend me a sparrowhawk. Fatty, I’m going to take people to the back. Search in the deep valleys of the mountains!"

After hearing what the fat man said, Shui Ruyue decided to go there in person to feel relieved. She was shouting in the military tent, and outside the tent

There was chaos, and a soldier was heard shouting: "Who are you? Stop! If you don't stop, we will shoot arrows!"

Liu Ruqing was shocked. Who is so bold and dares to come to the military camp to make mischief? Liu Ruqing walked out of the camp with a sullen face to check. After a while, she brought an unkempt man into the military tent with a happy face. Shui Ruyue saw the man who came in. This person couldn't help but say "Oh!" and stood up involuntarily. It turned out to be Long Zilan!

Shui Ruyue was surprised and happy when she saw Long Zilan, "Long Zilan, where is my prince? Where has he gone? Some people say that you jumped off a cliff while holding him in your arms. Is that true?"

Long Zilan nodded with a look of shame: "Yes, that day I competed with Tang Jiusheng, but I didn't expect that Ye Chou was hiding in the reeds by the lake. He used a crossbow arrow to plot against Tang Jiusheng, but Tang Jiusheng was directly penetrated by Ye Chou's crossbow arrow. , when I wanted to take Tang Jiusheng's body to escape, I was closely pursued by Wu Shiyun, Ye Cei and Yuhe Tongjun. When I was cornered, I jumped off the cliff with Tang Jiusheng's body in my arms!"

Long Zilan's words were like a bolt from the blue to the people in the military tent! Shui Ruyue asked in surprise: "Long Zilan, is my prince really dead?"

Long Zilan shook her head and said: "I'm not sure whether Tang Jiu Sheng is dead or not. When I jumped off the cliff with him in my arms, it was like falling from the sky. We broke many trees on the way down, and I kept using The Qi machine hit those trees to act as a buffer, and finally we both fell into the lake at the bottom of the valley. We were lucky enough not to fall to death, but we also fell to pieces! The sword also sank to the bottom of the lake!"

The fat man was worried, "What next? Where is Old Tang?"

Long Zilan added: "I didn't expect that the lake was alive and the source of a river. The two of us were washed down by the river. I'm not good at swimming. I was flopping around in the water. I was really exhausted. I used up my last bit. With only a little strength, I managed to push Tang Jiusheng onto a large log that fell into the water. He was washed downstream by the river and disappeared! I choked on the water myself, and I didn’t know what was going on. When I woke up, I had already been washed to the shore. Bian, I was lucky enough to save a life."

Shui Ruyue said in a trembling voice: "According to what you say, my prince is really in danger?"

Long Zilan said with lingering fear: "That's not necessarily true. When I pushed him onto the log, he seemed to have a little breath in his nose. I was seriously injured and managed to survive by catching some fish, shrimps and rabbits in the deep mountains and forests.

After eating those things, I finally managed to survive. After I regained some strength, I slowly struggled out of the mountain and wanted to report to you! My injuries have not healed yet, and I can't even beat anyone in the fourth level!"

Calculating, it has been more than a month since Tang Jiusheng fell off the cliff. Long Zilan was recuperating in the mountains, and now she escaped with disheveled hair to report the news. Then the direction was determined. Just look down from the source of the river! Since Tang Jiusheng was lying down,

Floating down on a big log, this is a clue, someone will always find the trace!

After Shui Ruyue got the exact news, her energy doubled. She immediately mobilized thousands of troops and sent people to the mountain to call Gao Chongyang and Cheng Zifei back, leaving only Han Laosan to command on the mountain.

Shui Ruyue took Fatty, Gao Chongyang, Cheng Zifei, Wang Changlong, Long Zilan and others carrying dry food, clear water, Sinan and other things on their backs, and went around the deep valley at the back of Tongque Mountain to find the source of the river, and then headed towards

The search was carried out slowly downstream. The family left Shui Rulong and Liu Ruqing and others to take charge. Han Laosan still stayed at the top of the back mountain, instructing his men to use ropes to lower people down the mountain to search for Tang Jiusheng without any delay on either side.

There is a two to three hundred mile detour from the military camp to the back mountain, and the mountain road is not easy to walk. Fortunately, it has been sunny and not raining in the past few days, otherwise thousands of people and horses would have been unable to move on such a large dirt road.

Shui Ruyue led the army to trek for two days with hungry food, thirsty drinks and overnight stays. On the Mid-Autumn Festival, when the team arrived outside a small village called Qinghe Village, they were already exhausted.

Shui Ruyue encouraged the soldiers, "Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival. I know everyone has worked hard! This time, each person will be rewarded with ten taels of silver. Let's go back to make up for another Mid-Autumn Festival!" When the soldiers heard that there was a silver reward, they all cheered and their morale was boosted.

Immediately excited.

Qinghe Village is on a flat land in the mountains. There are more than 200 households. It is close to the Qinghe River. The source of the Qinghe River is the large lake in the deep valley. Fatty discussed with Shui Ruyue. He wanted Shui Ruyue to lead the team to continue searching into the mountains.

, he wants to stay in this village to find out if there is any news about Tang Jiu Sheng, Shui Ru

Yue nodded in agreement.

Xu Dalong, who was eating, heard the noise at the entrance of the village and ran out to watch the excitement. He saw dust on the road and thousands of soldiers marching past in neat rows. The leader was a horse-riding man with a flower-like appearance.

Ruo Tianxian's girl, followed by several lieutenants wearing armor, Xu Dalong stuck out his tongue, "How lucky does this person have to be to marry such a beautiful girl?"

Uncle Gu, who came to the entrance of the village to watch the excitement from afar, whispered beside him: "Keep it down, I heard that Princess Wei led this army of thousands of people to practice mountain warfare in the barren mountains and ridges, and she also wanted to go inside.

Let’s go, more than two hundred soldiers entered the mountain from here a few days ago, these people should be following!”

Xu Dalong nodded. He had no interest in the army. He just came to see the beautiful woman. If nothing else, the princess was indeed beautiful and eye-catching! The villagers were watching the army on the roadside and were talking about it. One of them was not wearing a military uniform.

The fat young man jumped off his horse, followed by two lieutenants in armor and a dozen soldiers and walked towards the village.

The people in the village had never seen the world. When they saw that a military man was about to enter the village, they were so frightened that they fled in all directions and ran back home. The bolder ones hid behind the doors and watched, while the timid ones hid behind the windows and peeked.

I don’t know what these military masters want to do when they enter the village.

The fat man grinned and said helplessly: "Oh, Fatty, I'm so handsome, and I'm here to ask you about things. Why are you running away? Who are you going to ask the fat man to ask after you've all run away?" The fat man turned around and asked Cheng Zifei

and Wang Changlong, "Fat Master, why do I have this intuition that Old Tang is in this village?"

Cheng Zifei smiled and said: "Fat Master, wouldn't it be better if the prince is really in this village? Let's take the prince back directly, and then everyone can go to the brothel to drink wine and sleep peacefully. That would be a great thing

!Fat Master, you don’t know that this month has given us a lot of trouble!”

Wang Changlong shook his head, "There's no reason! Oh, the prince is in this village, and he won't go back or say hello to us? At least send a villager out to give us a message, and won't we come to pick him up?"

The fat man hummed a tune, shook his head and said: "You're already here, why are you still doubting? Just follow the fat man into the village! Bring the village chief out and ask questions first!"

The three of them entered the village with about a dozen soldiers. Cheng Zifei walked to the door of the first house and smiled and asked an old villager who was hiding behind the door and watching, "Uncle, where is your village chief's home? We are

I want to find your village chief!"

The old villager hiding behind the door pointed to the middle of the village and said bravely: "Follow this road, there are three brick houses in the middle of the village, with a big black dog tied at the door!

"

Cheng Zifei smiled and thanked the villagers who showed him the way, and walked towards the village with Fatty and others. After half a cup of tea, he walked to the three brick houses with a big black dog tied at the door. The big black dog came.

The stranger kept barking and tried to pounce! The fat man squatted down and said with a smile: "Little black dog, you try barking a few more times. Do you believe that the fat man will crush you to death, stew you and eat dog meat?"

"

Cheng Zifei asked loudly at the door: "Is the village chief at home?"

The village chief, Lu Ergen, was having lunch when he heard a commotion outside, but he didn't know what was going on. Just as he was about to go out to watch the excitement, he saw a fat man leading two generals and a dozen military lords to his door.

, the big black dog kept barking, and then someone called the village chief outside the door.

Lu Ergen was very upset and ran out quickly to stop the big black dog from barking. He asked with a smile on his face: "I am the village chief, Brother Lu, and some of the generals. What are you doing with me?"

The fat man said with a playful smile: "Village Chief Lu, we are here from Prince Wei's Mansion, and we don't have much to do. We just want to ask, has there been a young man who fell into the water in your village recently? That young man is taller and fatter than me.

He's quite handsome and has big eyes. I heard he fell into the river and was still lying on a big log. Have you ever seen him?"

When Lu Ergen heard this, his heart turned. With so many soldiers entering the village, could Shui Sheng be a bad person? Lu Ergen kept an eye on it and chuckled: "Oh, this fat man, do you think this person is a bad person?"

What is it for?”

The fat man saw Lu Ergen's eyes wandering and thought there was a way. The fat man touched the tip of his nose and glared deliberately: "If you know him, don't hide him and hand him over quickly, otherwise you will be too careful.
