The Royal Family's Orphan is on the Rise

Xuzhou Zhi asked doubtfully: "But the princess wants to see us for something?"

Xu Zhi glanced at everyone, and seeing his eyes, Xu Zhouzhi felt solemn.

"You come with me."

Xu Zhouzhi walked to the side twenty meters away, and Xu Zhi followed.

"Go ahead."

Xu Zhi's face was solemn: "The princess is missing."

Xuzhou Zhi was startled: "What did you say? What's going on?"

After learning the whole story, Xuzhou Zhi frowned.

"Come with me and report to the general again." This matter is serious.

In the pitch-black forest, Shen Jiarou and Ruan Qingling felt their buttocks were sore from sitting.

"Sister, I'm so hungry. Why don't we take a rest? It's getting dark anyway." She was too tired.

She didn't know how the princess could endure such a tiring situation.

Shen Jiarou looked around and said, "Okay, I guess it's midnight."

The summer nights were dark late, but they still walked for quite a while.

"I'll jump down first and catch you down there."

"Okay." She couldn't help in any way, so she could only listen to the princess and stop causing her trouble.

When helping Ruan Qingling down, Shen Jiarou felt that she had almost used up the last of her strength.

"Let's rest here." She was also tired, and most importantly, she was very hungry.

After resting for a cup of tea, Shen Jiarou forced herself to get up.

"Sister, what are you doing?"

"Try to light a fire. There must be many ferocious beasts in this deep forest. Fire can provide some protection."

Shen Jiarou groped in the dark for firewood. Finally, she found a bunch of dry and wet firewood and it took her a lot of effort to light it.

"Sister, it worked. You are so amazing."

Shen Jiarou's lips were dry and chapped: "We have to find some dry firewood quickly, otherwise it will burn out in a moment."

Ruan Qingling nodded vigorously: "Okay."

As more firewood was added, the fire grew bigger and bigger. Shen Jiarou even brought in many fallen dry trees.

"Sister, do we still need to collect firewood?" She felt like she was running out of strength.

Shen Jiarou glanced at her and said, "Sit down first. I'll go find something to eat."

I don’t know if there is anything to eat in the deep mountains and forests.

The main reason was that it was too dark now and she couldn't walk far.

Xiao Shannan was shocked when he learned that the princess and her maid were missing.

"Is there some conspiracy here? Why are there wolves here out of nowhere? What's more, there are bandits."

Xuzhou knew: "Yes, and the princess's maid was knocked unconscious by the knockout drug, it seems like this was planned for a long time."

The three of them were very silent.

The ten guards who accompanied them were taken to have dinner by the brothers of the Fire Army.

After searching for someone for so long, they were already exhausted and didn't care whether their meal looked good or not.

Shen Jiarou found some wild chestnuts near the fire in the forest.

"Sister, hurry up, step on this, you can eat the flesh inside."

Ruan Qingling was startled and looked at the ball of fur that fell from the princess's clothes, expressing her doubt.

"Sister, even if we die, there is no need to torture ourselves before death." If you eat this fur ball, wouldn't it be a life worse than death?

The princess has gone crazy. It's all her fault for being useless, otherwise she would never be allowed to eat this stuff.

Shen Jiarou had already started stepping on wild chestnuts. She looked up and was stunned when she saw the crying person.

"Sister, why are you crying? We are not dead yet."

Ruan Qingling cried in grievance: "You are about to eat a hairball, what's the difference between this and death."

Shen Jiarou sighed softly: "Hey, look, if you peel off this layer of skin, there is really flesh inside."

Seeing her confused eyes, Shen Jiarou took a bite and peeled the chestnut skin with her hands.

"Look, it's really fruit pulp. I used to eat it often." This thing was quite popular in the previous life.

Seeing how happily she was eating, Ruan Qingling wiped away her tears, stepped on a wild chestnut, and imitated the princess.

"how?"

“It tastes okay.”

"I told you I wasn't lying, but you still didn't believe me."

Ruan Qingling shook her head and explained: "No, I'm afraid you'll commit suicide."

Shen Jiarou laughed: "That won't do. We both have to live for at least a few decades. Otherwise, it would be too early for us to die. Don't you think so?"

Ruan Qingling chuckled: "That makes sense."

The two of them were peeling chestnuts and eating them. Finally, Shen Jiarou threw the chestnuts into the fire, and Ruan Qingling was startled.

"Sister, why are you burning?"

"You'll understand in a moment."

After a while, Shen Jiarou took it out with a stick, picked it up and peeled it.

"Come on, have a taste."

Ruan Qingling took it, put it into her mouth and chewed it, and finally a look of surprise appeared on her face.

"Hey, it's quite delicious."

"right."

"Well, let's bake some more."

The horse was tied up and had eaten all the edible leaves around it.

After a few hours of hard work, the two of them felt a little full.

"Sister, it seems to be getting light."

Hearing this, Shen Jiarou looked up at the sky.

"It will be better when it's daylight. Then we can try to find food, but there will be many wild animals."

When Ruan Qingling heard this, she trembled with fear.

"Ah, what should we do?" Will the wild beasts eat them?

"We'll take it one step at a time. If there are any large wild animals, like wolves, wild boars, tigers, etc., we should try to hide in the trees. Do you understand?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a tiger roar was heard and the two looked at each other in shock.

"It's over, sister, what should we do?" This sound is obviously a tiger.

Shen Jiarou lamented her bad mouth. Just as she mentioned the tiger, it came.

God, you're so good to me.

"Climb up that tree."

Ruan Qingling was shocked: "Ah, I don't know how to..."

Shen Jiarou said hurriedly: "We have to force it, the tiger is probably getting closer and closer."

Her ears were very sensitive and she could feel the mountain shaking.

Shen Jiarou heard the sound getting closer, and picked up Ruan Qingling and flew to a tree.

"Hurry, hold on to the tree tightly, and don't fall down."

Seeing her flying down, Ruan Qingling was shocked.

"Sister, what are you doing? Climb up the tree quickly."

"I have to let the horse go and see if it can escape alive." Oh, horse, I'm really sorry.

As soon as she let the horse go, Shen Jiarou heard a tiger roar.

"Sister, hold on to the tree tightly and don't let go. I'm going to lead the tiger away."

Ruan Qingling was shocked: "What? No, you should climb the tree."

"No, I'll use my Qinggong to lure the tiger away and come back to find you later. Try to stay on the tree as long as possible and wait for me to come back."

With a leap, Shen Jiarou was on another tree and saw a big tiger in front of her. She tried to attract its attention and lead it away.

The horse was running wildly in the woods and met a wild boar. The two of them chased each other in the woods.

Gao Shannan sent out a thousand soldiers and asked Xuzhou Zhi to lead the team to search for the person. He left Xu Zhi behind and asked him to describe the princess's appearance. The military advisor drew a portrait of her and showed it to the whole army.

The governor of Xuzhou led a thousand soldiers and found a carriage frame a few dozen meters away from the river.

"General, there's something going on over there."

Everyone ran over and found the tattered carriage abandoned, only the horses were missing.

"Search nearby."

Half an hour later, everyone saw the two men breathing their last.

"General, there are two people here, but they have passed away."

Xuzhou Zhi walked over to check: "Military doctor, please check how long this person has been dead."

He had been investigating for about a day and a night.

The military doctor saluted and said, "General Xu, they must have died around noon yesterday, and it is obvious that both of them had been searched."

Xuzhou Zhi was stunned: "Search, it must be the princess and her friends."

The little girl is quite smart and knows how to find something useful.
