Chapter 69 The Uninvited Guest in the Valley (1)
Following the traces of the horses' hooves, under the leadership of He Wu, He Bayu and the others finally arrived at the place where Miss Six released the horses.
However, after following the horse's hoof trail for a while, He Bayu noticed something was wrong.
He immediately stopped his horse.
"Your Majesty, there seems to be something wrong with these horse hoof prints."
At this time, He Wu also noticed it and hurriedly stepped forward to report it.
He Bayu nodded, jumped off the horse, looked at the marks on the ground, frowned and said: "The hoof marks are too shallow, it doesn't look like it was carrying two people."
He Wu hurriedly said: "It must have been dismounted before. Let's go back and look."
He Boyu shook his head: "We have been chasing them for almost three hours. There are many forks along the way and we passed through many woods. How do we know where they changed their direction?"
"Then what should we do?" He Wu said hurriedly.
This trip out of the palace was completely different from the past. There were not many arrangements like before. In addition, the queen was injured and she didn't know whether she would live or die. He Bayu had to go back as soon as possible.
But at this time, Ma Hoo's clues had been cut off, and it was impossible for them to quickly find Empress Jieyu.
And once the concubines in the palace spend the night outside, some things will be hard to say...
He Wu thought about it and couldn't help but secretly glance at He Ba Yu, whose face was as heavy as water.
He knew that His Majesty must be more anxious than him at this time and wanted to find Shangguan Jieyu. Therefore, if she could not be found today, His Majesty would probably not return to the palace.
What He Wu thought of, He Bayu had already thought of. He pursed his lips and thought about it again: "Even so, since they changed the route when they were nearby, they must not be far from Liangjing City."
As he spoke, he pondered for a moment and said, "I'm afraid this Sixth Girl has lived near Liangjing City before, and may have a place to stay. Otherwise, she wouldn't be so familiar with the terrain.
The reason why she wants horses and dry food may be to hide it from our eyes and ears, and her real destination must have been known for a long time."
He Wu's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he thought that your Majesty is your Majesty. He really thought things through, so he nodded and said: "After hearing what your Majesty said, this subordinate actually remembered it."
"What do you think of?" He Bayu raised his eyebrows.
"Although there are many forks on this road, it is basically a main road. During the day, the sixth girl would not take the queen on the main road, but on a small road. Since they abandoned the horse, it must be a secret that the horse cannot pass.
Place, around here..."
After thinking about it again, he immediately said with a face of joy: "Near here is Kanglong Mountain. The valley at its foot is densely wooded, and there is a small river running through it. If you choose a place to stay, you must not be far away from the water source. We will follow the small river
If you walk deeper into the forest on both sides of the bank, you will definitely find traces."
He Boyu nodded with a smile and said: "That's right. Let's go back and check some of the paths outside the forest to see what the results are."
After several analyses, He Bayu took He Wu back to look for it. After a while, he saw a few drops of blood on the grass blades beside the path. He Bayu's face immediately changed.
He Wu looked at the words and naturally knew what he was worried about. He quickly jumped off the horse, rubbed the blood on the grass blades with his hands, smelled it again, and then breathed a sigh of relief:
