A kiss, and I'll live another day; they begged me not to go crazy.

Wang Er, anxious and impatient, led a group of people on a arduous journey along the winding mountain road, hoping to find the missing Su Aige as soon as possible.

......

Along the way, his thoughts raced like a wild horse, and countless ideas and images flashed through his mind.

Whenever he thought about the misfortunes that Su Aige might be going through, his heart would clench tightly, and he could hardly contain himself.

He seemed to see his brother Su, who was always smiling, kind and gentle, now in an extremely miserable situation.

Perhaps it was missing limbs, or covered in wounds;

Or perhaps they have suffered endless bullying and humiliation, leaving them physically and mentally exhausted;

They may even be helplessly enduring the torment of hunger, cold, and loneliness...

......

After escaping the predicament, it is unknown whether Brother Su's once bright and beautiful clothes are still intact.

Moreover, it's fortunate that Brother Su escaped on his own. What if he escaped from the wolf's den only to fall into the tiger's lair?

I don't know where Brother Su has gone. What if he gets lost because he doesn't know the way?

......

Just then, for some reason,

Wang Er suddenly shuddered as if he had thought of something extremely terrifying, and involuntarily shivered.

Immediately afterwards, his face darkened, and he shouted coldly at the panting constables behind him:

"Speed ​​up, everyone! Keep up!"

......

At this moment, Wang Er's once fair and lovely face had lost the liveliness and innocence she had when she was with Su Aige, replaced by a cold and serious expression.

This sudden change startled the constables behind him. They exchanged glances and, not daring to be negligent, quickly quickened their pace to follow closely behind.

......

These constables muttered to themselves, in their opinion...

Even if Lord Su is not familiar with the roads in this area, he shouldn't have come to such a remote and desolate mountain.

However, at this moment, no one dared to voice their doubts.

They could only silently follow Wang Er forward, hoping to find Su Aige as soon as possible and solve this mystery.

......

Wang Er was well aware that in this harsh weather, with its biting winds and relentless howling,

The chances of Su Aige escaping from the heavily guarded Qi family compound (there were indeed many people when he went to the Qi family) and ending up in such a deserted, desolate mountain forest are extremely slim.

However, he dared not take any chances and gamble.

Because if he didn't personally lead the search...

He could fully anticipate that the constables would not be as diligent and responsible as they had promised to thoroughly search every corner; they would most likely just give a perfunctory and perfunctory response.

After all, his elder brother was a commander of troops, and he had told him too many stories of soldiers slacking off, being lazy, and being passive in their work.

......

Therefore, Wang Er really didn't dare to take this risk!

What if Su Aige is hiding in some remote corner of this mountain, waiting for me to come and rescue her?

Thinking of this, Wang Er couldn't help but sneeze loudly.

God!

On such a bitterly cold day, how will Brother Su, who is so thin, manage to get through it?

......

It's really strange, when a group of people rode at breakneck speed from the capital to come here, I didn't feel this cold and unbearable at all.

Wang Er instinctively wrapped his thin clothes tighter around himself, but he resolutely refused the yamen runners' flattering offer to stop and put on warm clothes.

He had only one thought in his mind:

We must race against time to find Brother Su as soon as possible, even if it's just a moment earlier, so that Brother Su can suffer less from the bitter cold.

Wang Er knew that time was of the essence and there was no room for delay or hesitation, so he dared not gamble with Su Aige's safety under any circumstances.

......

A biting wind swept across the land as Wang Er struggled to ride his horse, unknowingly approaching the carriage where Su Aige and Guo Si were hiding.

By this time, his body was already being eroded by the biting cold, and he was trembling incessantly.

Back then, when he went out with Su Aige, he deliberately dressed up as a rich young master.

Regardless of the era, people generally believe that wealthy young men should be elegant and refined.

The saying "prioritize style over warmth" is applicable throughout history, as if people would disregard temperature for the sake of beauty.

Therefore, Wang Er went out wearing only a thin outer garment.

......

However, at this moment he was galloping across this icy and snowy land, and his thin clothes were of no use in protecting him from the severe cold.

Before long, his lips turned purple from the cold, his body was freezing, and his hand on the whip gradually lost feeling, but he dared not call for a halt.

Wang Er was filled with remorse. If only he hadn't run away from the idea of ​​going to the army for training when his elder brother suggested it.

Perhaps I could have a strong physique right now, instead of being in such a sorry state and holding everyone back.

......

As time went on, Wang Er felt his head getting heavier and heavier, and his consciousness began to gradually become blurred.

He knew that if he didn't stop moving forward, he would probably be the first one to fall today.

So, under the puzzled gazes of the many people behind him, he slowly slowed down the speed of his horse.

......

Everyone looked on with suspicion upon seeing this.

Just moments ago, this young master from the Prime Minister's mansion in the capital was full of vigor and high spirits.

How did it suddenly become like a deflated balloon, losing all motivation to continue the search?

They couldn't understand the reason, so they could only look at each other and speculate about what might have happened.

......

Just then, the crowd behind finally caught up with Wang Er.

When they saw the person in front of them, they were so frightened that they gasped.

Wang Er's lips, which should have been rosy, were now so dry and cracked that they looked as if they might bleed at any moment.

His cheeks were frighteningly red, like ripe apples, which inspired fear in those who saw them.

......

These people have a scale in their hearts:

They didn't care whether Lord Su could be found or not, after all, he was just a centurion.

What truly terrified them was the family background of the person before them.

The power and methods of that prime minister, and the ferocious soldiers under General Wang.

They knew perfectly well that either side could easily cut off their escape route.
