I traveled through time and space and encountered a famine, and I became a hermit.

General Rong led the army and arrived at the King of Yue's fiefdom half a month later than Commander Wang.

When Commander Wang failed to find the Gu family, he rode back to the capital at full speed and reported the news to the emperor.

"Your Majesty, I heard the news in Zesheng County that the little grandson of the emperor was indeed abducted. King Li sent elite troops to chase him at that time, but failed to convey the news to you in time." Commander Wang knelt on one knee and reported the news he had found out.

"However, the people sent to chase were misled by the chaotic army. By the time they realized what was happening and chased to Weng County, it had already been destroyed. Only a few hundred people survived. It was there that the people chasing received the message from the little grandson of the emperor."

After Commander Wang finished speaking, he took out the strip of cloth left by the little emperor's grandson and presented it to him.

After the emperor read it, he said again: "The general who was in charge of the pursuit at that time resettled the people in distress according to the instructions on the banner, and entrusted the orphans, some of the elderly, women and children, and those who were unwilling to leave. There were less than a hundred people, and they were all entrusted to the Gu family who rescued the people in Weng County."

"It's just that the Gu family is said to live in the mountains near Weng County. But my subordinates sent people to look for them for half a month and couldn't find them. I have come to ask for your Majesty's instructions and hope you will forgive me." After Commander Wang finished speaking, he knelt down on his knees and kowtowed.

The old emperor looked at the handwriting on the cloth and the material of the cloth. It was undoubtedly his grandson.

However, there is something strange about this Gu family. Even if the mountains are high and the forests are dense, even if they are hidden deep in the mountains and forests, but more than a hundred people travel together, there will be traces left wherever they pass. Now there is no news at all.

The emperor waved his hand and said, "Get up. Let's leave the Gu family alone for now. Tell the secret agents in Longcheng to take the body down as soon as possible and confirm whether it is the emperor's grandson."

"Thank you, Your Majesty. I obey your order. I will do it right away." Commander Wang kowtowed to express his gratitude.

He presented a thick stack of memorials again. He continued, "Your Majesty, King Li asked me to bring a memorial of apology and the records of the Jishi. Please have a look at it."

Wait for the eunuch beside the emperor to take the stack of memorials.

Commander Wang then stepped back to do what the emperor had asked him to do.

General Rong has led Wang's army in four or five battles of varying sizes over the past month, with some wins and some losses.

The battle line has spread to the territory of King Li, and the battle is going back and forth between King Li's territory and King Yue's territory.

For General Rong's side, even if they won, everyone couldn't avoid the heaviness in their hearts.

Firstly, they had lost so many of their comrades, and secondly, in the towns they had captured, nine out of ten houses were empty. There was not even a trace of a living person. Apart from the soldiers cleaning up the battlefield, there were corpses lying on the ground.

The soldiers always cleaned the battlefield numbly, not understanding the purpose of this war.

Due to the fierceness of the rebel cavalry, the army of 100,000 was reduced to only 70,000 in just one month.

Fortunately, while the armies were in a stalemate, the spies hidden in Longcheng finally obtained the body of the "little emperor's grandson" and confirmed that the body was not that of the emperor's grandson.

The spy quickly reported the good news back to the imperial capital.

The emperor looked at the news on the dragon case and felt relieved. Although he knew that his grandson was smart, clever and had practiced martial arts since he was young, he was still a child after all.

Now, as long as you are still alive, there is a way to find it. "Someone come."

"I'm here." A man in black walked out from the shadows.

"Spread the news that the emperor's grandson is alive as quickly as possible. Also, instruct your secret guards to go deep into the mountains and forests to look for the whereabouts of the emperor's grandson. Make sure to find him and bring him back."

"Yes. I will do it immediately." The man in black said, and disappeared again, as if he had never appeared.

When the news that the emperor's grandson was alive spread, the morale of the army was greatly boosted.

The soldiers fought with all their might and won a victory today, driving out the rebel army that had occupied King Li's city.

Unfortunately, the city that was invaded by the rebel army was also destroyed. Houses were burned down, and men and children were killed.

Most of the women were abducted, and the bodies of women who had not been taken away in time were lying on the streets.

General Rong stood on the city wall, looking at the devastated city, his heart filled with grief. "Pass my order, clean up the battlefield, rescue the wounded, and search for the surviving civilians."

"Yes, General." The personal soldier took the order and went to make the arrangements.

Finally, a surviving family was found in a cellar, and some survivors were found in various corners of the city.

The people who were rescued burst into tears of gratitude. An old man even grabbed General Rong's hand in grief and said, "General, you must avenge us! These rebel soldiers are completely inhumane! They are all beasts! They are all beasts!"

General Rong nodded heavily. "Don't worry, old man. I will defend the place to the death and will not let the rebel army advance any further. I will send someone to take you survivors to the rear."

The old man quickly put his arm around his grandson's shoulders, wiped his tears, bowed and nodded, and said, "Thank you, General. Thank you, General." After that, he followed the soldiers.

When the rebel army learned that the body had been taken away, their leader became furious.

Summon military advisors and generals to discuss countermeasures.

He knew very well that once the news of the little emperor's grandson's life spread, his plan to create turmoil and panic in the hearts of the people would be in vain.

"Now that the little emperor's grandson's body has been taken away, they will definitely find out that he is not the real little emperor's grandson. How should we deal with it next? Do you have any ideas?" the Lord asked directly.

"My lord, I have been sending people to keep an eye on the developments in the capital. According to my observation, they haven't found the little grandson either. Even if they know that the body is not his, I think they cannot be sure of his life or death." The gloomy man said in a flat tone.

"In my opinion, you may spread the news that the little grandson is dead to continue to stir up trouble. Also, send someone to the grassland to borrow soldiers. It is time to expand the territory after the New Year. As for the little grandson, I am willing to go to Weng County in person to confirm whether the little grandson is dead. This will make up for my negligence."

"If the body of the emperor's grandson has not been found in Weng County, I will find him and kill him before the man in the capital does."

After hearing this, the lord laughed happily and said, "With the military advisor here, I don't have to worry about not accomplishing my mission. But it's too dangerous to go to Weng County in person. The military advisor can just send his subordinates." The lord advised with a worried look on his face.

"My lord, I have to go there in person to do this." Military advisor Chen still spoke in a flat tone.

Seeing that he insisted, the lord did not want to stop him. "Since the military advisor insists on going, I will send you twenty-four secret guards for your own protection."

The man surnamed Chen was about to refuse, but the lord took his hand and stopped him, saying, "Military Advisor, don't refuse."

The man surnamed Chen curled his lips, and Yang Qi gave a cold smile: "Thank you, my lord. I am grateful."

The next step was to assemble the secret guards. The group set off overnight, riding at full speed towards Weng County.

For a while, several parties took actions.
