princess come to my arms

Yang Shan was taken aback for a moment, then blinked his eyes suddenly several times.

Did he hear correctly, Her Royal Highness wants to... raz this place to the ground?

Such a large forest to be razed to the ground?

Yang Shan's smile was a little stiff, and the corners of his mouth twitched twice.

He couldn't believe it, and hurriedly said: "But Your Royal Highness, there are some towering trees in this forest, and their branches are strong. If you want to cut them down, the speed is very slow."

Li Weixi smiled lightly, and said in a calm manner: "I remember, Father gave you five thousand elite soldiers, plus the 2000 people brought by me, a total of 7000 people. Gather them here, 7000 people If we work together, we won’t be slow.”

"Then...the rest..."

"You don't need to worry about the rest of the matter, and you don't need to investigate. The emperor has already ordered me to command the generals, and Zongbing Yang doesn't have to worry about it, just follow through."

"Yes, I will arrange it now."

Yang Shan retreated, his inner shirt was soaked through his back, and he dared to take a big breath when he retreated to a distance.

Although Yang Shan lacked courage, he was efficient in handling things. He didn't keep Li Weixi waiting for a long time. He quickly summoned elite soldiers and arranged the division of labor in each link.

In the evening of that day, there were bursts of sawing sounds from the foot of Chita Mountain. When encountering a big tree that was struggling, it was necessary to shout two horns to help.

Li Weixi returned to the tent, waiting for news.

On the third day, when the news finally came, Li Weixi got up from his seat.

"Report to Her Royal Highness, a corpse was found in the northwest corner of the forest, wearing a black shirt."

If it was wearing a black shirt, it was undoubtedly Baiji, but the two fell off the cliff together hugging each other.If there were no pushing movements in the air, Ziyou...should have landed not far away.

"Have you looked around? There is only one corpse?" Li Weixi asked quickly.

"The logging soldiers are still searching inside, but the trees within half a mile of this corpse have been cut down, and no second corpse has been found."

Li Weixi breathed a sigh of relief silently in his heart, and after his expression returned to normal, he replied, "Take me to have a look."

After the soldiers found the body, they reported it to Yang Shan first, and then Yang Shan sent someone to report it to Li Weixi.

At this time, Yang Shan was covering his mouth and nose, his face was wrinkled and distorted, squatting down, staring at the rotten and smelly corpse.

This person fell from a high place with too much force, his bones were deformed, and his body was folded after falling to the ground, showing a crooked state.

Most of the flesh and blood on his body had been eaten by insects and ants, his face was beyond recognition, and the stench continued.

After taking a few glances, Yang Shan couldn't help his stomach churn, took a few steps back, and hurried away.

His subordinate brought a bowl of tea, and he drank it quickly.Then sit on a felled log to calm the discomfort.

Li Weixi strode past him.

After realizing that Her Royal Highness was going to see the dead body, Yang Shan jumped off the wood immediately, stepped forward to stop him and said, "Your Highness, this person died in a terrible state, his body is decomposed, and the stench is strong, you still don't want to go... gone."

Li Weixi ignored it, walked straight to the slightly raised white cloth, and said directly: "Open it."

The soldier dared not refuse, grabbed a corner of the white cloth and lifted it, and then, the corpse was exposed to Li Weixi's eyes.

Even though he was prepared mentally, Li Weixi still felt uncomfortable, and his death was indeed a bit miserable.

Li Weixi took a glance and saw that this person was indeed wearing a black shirt.

Still be more cautious.

Li Weixi said to the soldiers beside him: "Put her bones straight, how high is the measurement?"

"Yes." The soldier got the order and immediately followed suit.

After a stick of incense, the soldier reported: "Your Highness, I have measured it. This man is nine feet tall."

The man of nine feet must not be Gu Ziyou, and the corner of Li Weixi's mouth curled up: "Okay, I know, you can step back."

**

It should have been happy news, but Li Weixi had a nightmare.

She was not as calm as she appeared on the surface, but the moment she saw the dead body of Baiji, her heart was filled with fear.

She was afraid that Gu Ziyou would die like a bletilla striata without a whole body, if so, she would faint on the spot.

For several days in a row, Li Weixi woke up from the nightmare several times, then lit the candle lamp, hugged her knees, and waited until dawn.

On the second day, as usual, inspection and supervision.

The emperor paid off, seven days later, the most exciting news came.

"Your Highness, the forest has been razed to the ground, but the body of the son-in-law has not been found."

"Okay, okay..." Li Weixi said "yes" several times in a row, the tight string was loosened, and he said in a rare gentle voice: "Send the order, let the soldiers rest, and order the kitchen to get some Beef and mutton come, reward and comfort them."

"Thank you princess for the reward."

The soldiers retreated, and Li Weixi was the only one left in the camp. She bit her lip and clenched her fists tightly, her fingertips turned white from the force.

Not pain, but excitement.

She became more and more convinced that Gu Ziyou would escape from death.

Where would she go after she escaped from the dead?Where would she go after she escaped from the dead?

Did he leave by himself or was rescued?

Li Weixi suppressed the excitement in his heart, spread out the map on the desktop, circled Chita Mountain with a brush, and marked the lines on the map one by one with his fingers.

The sea of ​​people is vast, and the land is boundless, as long as you are alive.

In the Chita Mountain, you broke through the formation to find me, and now I am on the road to find you, and there is no return date.

**

The 33rd year of Xinle is the third year that Li Weixi has been looking for Gu Ziyou.

With Chita as the center, she continued to extend outward. She searched the entire northern Xinjiang and neighboring counties, but still could not find any clues.

Li Weixi gradually went south, expanding the search area to the entire Dajin.

Li Jiayi felt sorry for her daughter's infatuation, and ordered the ministers of the court to write countless imperial lists and send them to various places. Anyone who found someone who looked similar to the portrait would be rewarded heavily.

The letters were sent directly to Li Weixi without passing through the imperial court, and were screened by him.

It's just that the world is so big that there are no surprises.There are people who are only interested in profit, making up random things, and some officials are opportunistic and want to borrow flowers to offer Buddha, but they are not them.

Li Weixi has gone many wrong ways, but he is happy with it.

She didn't bring any clothes or dry food, and the packages she carried with her were letters with information.

After browsing all of them, they are divided according to each region and searched everywhere.

Sometimes when she encountered a few letters with realistic descriptions, she would change her itinerary, from Tiannan to Dibei, and then from Dibei to Tiannan.

It's just that it's become commonplace not to find it.

One day, as usual, Li Weixi came out and tore up the letter that was reported.She had already seen that person, who looked exactly like Gu Ziyou, but it wasn't her.

Li Weixi rewarded the person who reported a sum of money, and then rode away.

The address of the next letter is not far from this place, and the content of the letter is very concise, just a few words, "My neighbor is very similar to the people in Huangbang."

Just looking at these few words without further description is really unconvincing.

Li Weixi thought about it and didn't want to miss any news, so he went without much hesitation.

**

When they arrived at Qujing Mansion, the sky was still bright, and Lin Shuangquan, the prefect of Qujing, came to greet him.

Qujing is far away from the imperial city, and few members of the royal family set foot here.Now that a famous and incomparably honorable Princess Her Highness came, the prefect of Qujing was so happy that his eyes disappeared from laughter.

Along the way, they greeted each other with smiling faces and greeted each other with warm greetings.

Li Weixi didn't want to lose his courtesy, so he exchanged greetings with him.

Lin Shuangquan continued: "Your Highness, the journey is difficult. You have come all the way. Why don't you rest in the servant's mansion first, and I will take you to find someone tomorrow?"

Li Weixi looked up at the sky, and saw that the sun was high and setting slightly westward, it was still early, she didn't want to waste time, so she refused: "No, I want to see the person in the letter first."

Li Weixi's complexion changed slightly, and the prefect of Qujing immediately rang an alarm bell in his heart, and quickly responded, "Okay."

Yanghe County is a small county seat in Qujing Prefecture, and there is a village named Huanxi Village, and the letter was delivered by the people of Huanxi Village.

After traveling for an hour, the group arrived at Huanxi Village.

The magistrate dismounted and ordered his men to find the village head.

After hearing the letter, the head of Huanxi Village brought the person who wrote the letter together.

"Wu Qing, head of Caomin Huanxi Village, kowtowed to Her Royal Highness, and Her Royal Highness is a thousand years old."

"Grassman Liu Yuxia kowtowed to Her Royal Highness, Your Highness is a thousand years old."

"Mianli, who is the person who wrote the letter, I have something to ask you."

Liu Yuxia said: "Your Highness, I am a grassroots."

Seeing that the person who wrote the letter was a kind-hearted lady, Li Weixi couldn't help but slow down her tone, and called her aside and asked: "Ms. Liu, you said in the letter that your neighbor is somewhat similar to the person on the imperial list?" ?”

"That's right, it's just a princess. Caomin needs to tell you in advance that the person on the imperial list is a man, but Caomin's neighbor is a woman. Caomin didn't want to deceive His Highness, but thought that they might be relatives, and maybe they could help Her Royal Highness provided some clues to write the letter."

woman?

Saying these two words silently in his mouth, Li Weixi's heart beat suddenly, and a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.

Just be a woman!

Li Weixi withdrew his nerves, and said to the reserved aunt: "You have done a good job, I just need someone like you who can be honest and worry-free. Where is that person? Take me to have a look."

As soon as these words came out, Liu Yuxia felt relieved. She thought that His Highness the Princess would punish her, but she did not expect His Highness to be so sensible.

Liu Yuxia enthusiastically said: "It's the evening market right now, and this Miss Ajin is selling things at the evening market."

"Let's go."

The market in Huanxi Village is very lively. The market was originally a large open space. Small vendors arranged their shops in columns in an orderly manner. The villagers walked through the interior and randomly selected what they needed.

In the evening, the sun is soft, and there are many people in the market, bustling.

Liu Yuxia pointed to a quiet corner across the crowd, indicating that the person she was looking for was there.

Li Weixi looked in this direction, and immediately caught that figure.The corners of her mouth couldn't help raising an arc, and her eyes sparkled.
