My best friend is wearing a double body! Marry the emperor! Help me win the throne

Xue Youli frowned, glanced deeply at Chu Xinyue's running back, then turned and ran towards Murong Che's tent.

"Ali, you're here just in time. What would you like to eat for dinner?"

Murong Che looked at her shoulders being wet by the rain, and stood up from the table and walked towards her, "Why don't you have an umbrella? Your clothes are all wet..."

Xue Youli grabbed Murong Che's arm before he could finish his words and said, "Your Majesty! Prince Kang has not come out of the hunting grounds yet. We are worried that he may have encountered wild animals in the forest. Princess Qinghe has already gone to look for him. Please send someone to look for them immediately!"

[The mountains are full of dangers. Besides venomous snakes and ferocious beasts, the most terrifying thing is the group of people Murong Ye has ambushed in the mountains. If Murong Nan encounters those bloodless killers, he will be in great danger!]

Murong Che heard her inner voice, his expression froze, and he called out in a deep voice, "Wang Defa!"

"The slave is here!"

"Prince Kang did not leave the mountain with the others. You must pass on my order and have the imperial guards immediately go into the mountains to search for him!"

"The slave obeys the order!"

After Wang Defa left, Murong Che reached out and patted Xue Youli's shoulder, saying soothingly, "Don't worry, maybe Prince Kang was just delayed by the heavy rain."

"Um……!"

Xue Youli was about to nod when she suddenly felt a discomfort in her nose. She quickly turned her back to Murong Che and sneezed twice, "Ah-chu! Ah-chu!"

"It's cold in the mountains. You can warm yourself by the fire first. I've ordered someone to boil some hot water. Take a hot bath."

Xue Youli didn't want to catch a cold and delay her trip into the mountains tomorrow, so she said, "Okay."

While she was warming herself by the fire and taking a hot bath, Chu Xinyue had already ridden her horse to the place where she and Murong Nan had separated.

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and she was soaked all over.

The light in the woods was very dim, and you couldn't see clearly more than two meters away.

Chu Xinyue wiped the rain off her face and looked around quickly.

However, there was no sign of Murong Nan here at all.

Where will he run to?

Could it be that he went to find a place to shelter from the rain?

"Murong Nan? Murong Nan?"

Chu Xinyue lowered her head, looked at the faint road marks left on the ground, and searched deep into the woods.

The further into the woods we went, the more bushes there were, and the harder it was for the horses to move.

Chu Xinyue's clothes and long hair were soaked by the rain. She kept wiping her eyes with her sleeves, but her vision was still blurry.

As she walked, she suddenly saw the silhouette of a white horse under a crooked tree.

"Murong Nan!"

Chu Xinyue recognized that the white horse was Murong Nan's.

She quickly patted the horse's belly to make it speed up.

However, when she walked up to the white horse, Chu Xinyue found that the white horse was tied to a tree trunk, but there was no sign of Murong Nan around.

She walked a few more steps forward and found that the mountain path was soaked by rain, and the dead branches and leaves on the ground had become muddy, and the horse had no way to move forward.

Chu Xinyue looked at the footprints of varying depths on the ground, made a quick decision, and jumped off the horse.

She tied the horse next to Murong Nan's white horse and patted its back. "Wait here for me. I'll go bring your master back!"

After saying that, she walked forward following the footprints on the ground.

At this moment, Murong Nan also followed this road into the woods and walked to the deepest part of the hunting ground.

Even though it rained heavily, it couldn't stop him.

"Chu Xinyue? Chu Xinyue? Where are you?"

Just now, Chu Xinyue went into the mountains in this direction. When she separated from him, Chu Xinyue specifically told him to stay where he was and wait for her to come back.

However, Murong Nan waited there for a long time, but did not wait for Chu Xinyue to come back. Instead, he waited for a signal flare sent from the camp.

He looked up at the dark clouds that were suddenly gathering in the sky and knew it would rain soon.

Thinking that Chu Xinyue had run into the woods and had not come out yet, he gritted his teeth, dismounted with his bow and arrow, and went to look for her.

He didn't know how far he had walked. He just felt that the further he went, the quieter it became, with only the occasional bird call from afar.

When the rain got heavier, he could no longer hear any other sound except the sound of raindrops hitting the leaves and the ground.

It was incredibly dark in the woods, and the tinderbox was wet from the rain.

He knew clearly that in such bad weather, he should find a safe place to shelter from the rain as soon as possible, and it would be safer to take action after the rain stopped.

But he was worried that Chu Xinyue was trapped deep in the forest by the heavy rain, and even more worried that she would be in danger.

So he gripped the longbow tightly in his hand and continued forward without hesitation.

As he was walking, he suddenly heard some movement in the bushes.

Murong Nan was startled. He quickly put an arrow on his bow, pointed it at the bushes, and shouted, "Who? Who's there?"

He stood five feet away from the bushes and waited for a long time, but no one responded to him.

Seeing that the sound in the bushes did not stop, Murong Nan took a deep breath and mustered up the courage to continue moving forward.

He originally wanted to go around the bushes, but suddenly a huge wild boar jumped out from the bushes.

The wild boar was fat and strong, and its eyes flashed a dark red fierce light in the rain.

It stared at Murong Nan coldly, with its black mane standing up, emitting a fierce aura.

Even through the rain, Murong Nan could see the wild boar's cold fangs.

He took a half step back, pulled the bowstring, and tried to strike first.

But the heavy rain blurred his vision, and the wild boar was still some distance away from him, so he couldn't find the wild boar's weak spot for a while.

The wild boar seemed to sense his next move. Before he could take aim, it roared and rushed towards him.

The wild boar was extremely large, and as it ran wildly, the ground beneath Murong Nan's feet was shaking slightly.

Just as the wild boar rushed close, Murong Nan decisively shot the arrow in his hand.

Unfortunately, the wild boar had thick skin and flesh, and coupled with the impact of the heavy rain, his arrow only grazed the wild boar's body and did not cause fatal damage.

But the wild boar was enraged and rushed towards him madly.

Murong Nan hurriedly dodged sideways, barely avoiding its fangs.

The wild boar missed the attack, twisted its butt, turned around and rushed towards him again.

The wild boar was moving too fast, and Murong Nan had no time to draw his bow and shoot an arrow. He could only hold the long arrow and stab it at the wild boar!

The wild boar's hind leg was pierced by a long arrow. It howled and attacked Murong Nan even more frantically.

When Murong Nan stepped back, he stepped on something and stumbled, falling directly to the ground, rolling down the slope under his feet.

"Hey! It hurts!"

Murong Nan rolled for about seventy or eighty meters. When he stopped, he felt pain all over his body.

He groped on the ground for a long time and touched a stick as thick as his wrist. He used the stick to support himself and slowly got up.

Murong Nan didn't know where he was. He walked forward with the help of his stick, shouting, "Chu Xinyue? Where are you? If you hear me calling you, answer me!"

He walked forward a little further when he was suddenly tripped by a branch.

He looked down and saw that the dead leaves at his feet were much higher than those on the ground beside him, so he used his feet to push them away.

There was a pile of burnt wood buried under the dead leaves.

Since there is burnt firewood here, it means someone has been to this place!

Just then, he saw several moving black shadows in the distance in the rain.

Murong Nan's eyes suddenly lit up with hope, and he rushed out in that direction and waved, "Hey! Have you found Princess Qinghe?"

He knew that his royal brother would definitely send someone to find him and Chu Xinyue!

Due to the heavy rain, the figures did not notice him at first.

Hearing the noise, they quickly drew their swords from their waists and surrounded him.

It was not until several people approached that Murong Nan realized that these guys in black were not royal guards at all!
