Chapter 771 [Under the Brocade 67]
When the emperor heard that there were fights among the people in Wu County and Kang County, resulting in heavy casualties, he was furious and immediately sent his confidants to the two places to inspect and verify the situation.
After a detailed investigation, the shocking truth came to light: due to the fierce conflict between the people in these two places, the number of casualties was as high as tens of thousands! What was even more unexpected was that the prefect of Wu County had submitted a memorial to the court to report the incident, but for some unknown reason, this crucial memorial was not successfully delivered to the emperor.
The emperor thus deeply realized that what Lan Qingxuan had said before was not false talk.
At the same time, Lu Ting also secretly conducted a comprehensive and detailed investigation on Lan Qingxuan. When he found out that Lan Qingxuan was Master Yuan Ming's disciple, he pondered for a moment, and then ordered Eunuch Li beside him to quickly invite Lan Qingxuan to the palace.
Not long after, the emperor summoned all the ministers in the court. The emperor told everyone with a smile on his face that he and Lan Qingxuan had recently refined a magical elixir.
This pill can not only prolong life, promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis, but also has many other wonderful effects.
After saying this, the emperor generously rewarded these extremely precious elixirs to all the ministers present.
On the other hand, Lan Qingxuan knew that he had gained the emperor's full trust by entering the palace this time, so he hurriedly asked someone to send a secret letter to Lu Yi, who was far away outside the palace, to inform him of the good news.
At the same time, Shangguan Xi, who was still seriously injured, was still searching for Yang Yue's whereabouts. Seeing this, Zhai Lanye felt distressed and had no choice but to force the fruit in her hand into Shangguan Xi's mouth, while Shangguan Xi chewed and swallowed it with a wooden expression.
Seeing Shangguan Xi being so persistent and stubborn, Zhai Lanye couldn't suppress her inner worry and couldn't help but scold her loudly.
Zhai Lanye asked Shangguan Xi, what should they do if they continue to search like this and still cannot find any trace of Yang Yue?
However, Shangguan Xi's belief was not shaken at all. She said with a firm look that as long as Yang Yue was still alive, she would be able to find him even if she had to travel thousands of miles and go through untold hardships.
After eating the fruit, Shangguan Xi only felt that she had regained some strength, but her body was still extremely heavy. She gritted her teeth, supported herself on the ground with her hands, stood up with difficulty, and staggered forward, with only one thought in her mind - she must find Yang Yue!
At the same time, Yang Yue woke up slowly, his head was still a little dizzy. He slowly opened his eyes and found that he was covered with wounds and was in a strange cabin.
He struggled to get out of bed, but suddenly felt a sharp pain. He realized that his physical condition was very bad and he could not move at all.
At this moment, a burly hunter walked in. Seeing Yang Yue wanted to get up, he hurried forward to stop him and said, "Don't move. You are injured and need to rest well." After some conversation, Yang Yue learned that it was this kind hunter who saved him.
Yang Yue was extremely anxious and wanted to find Shangguan Xi as soon as possible. However, given his current physical condition, it was difficult for him to even move a finger, let alone walk.
In desperation, he had to follow the hunter's advice and drink the bowl of medicine handed to him, hoping to recover his strength quickly.
On the other hand, Yang Chengwan, Lin Ling and Uncle Gai finally got new clues after some investigation. However, to their surprise, they found that the trafficker who abducted the child had died a long time ago.
As a result, the whereabouts of Lin He's child became even more confusing, and it was uncertain whether he was alive or dead. This news was undoubtedly a huge blow to Lin Ling, and she couldn't help but feel sad.
But things have come to this point, and there is no point in being sad. After discussing, the three of them decided to go to Hangzhou first to meet up with Lu Yi and others, and then make long-term plans.
While Shangguan Xi was looking for Yang Yue, Xie Xiao was also anxiously looking for her. His efforts paid off, and Xie Xiao finally found Shangguan Xi, who looked haggard and had weak steps.
Zhai Lanye saw Xie Xiao and Shangguan Xi together from a distance, and turned away silently. Shangguan Xi saw Xie Xiao, as if he had grabbed a life-saving straw, and hurriedly told him everything about Yang Yue's fall off the cliff.
After Xie Xiao heard this, he felt his heart suddenly shrink, and an ominous premonition instantly surged into his heart. He did not dare to delay for a moment, and immediately shouted to all the men of the Wu An Gang: "What are you all still standing there for? Send more people to search! Even if we have to dig three feet into the ground, we must find Yang Yue for me!"
Before he finished speaking, Xie Xiao turned around and walked quickly to Shangguan Xi's side. Shangguan Xi's face was as pale as paper, and her body was so weak that it seemed that a gust of wind could blow her down. Xie Xiao felt very distressed, and stretched out his hands to carefully support her, as if he was holding a rare treasure, and then slowly escorted her to a safe place step by step.
On the other side, Yang Yue, who was trapped in the hunter's house, wanted to remove the cloth wrapped around his face. However, the hunter next to him stopped him and advised: "Young man, you can't move this wound casually. If it gets infected and worsens, it will be troublesome."
Hearing this, Yang Yue couldn't help but panic. He was afraid that the wound on his face was too severe to heal completely. What would he do if he was left with a hideous scar? Thinking of this, Yang Yue's mood became heavier, and the sorrow and fear in his heart made it difficult for him to bear.
Shangguan Xi sat quietly in the room, staring blankly at the exquisite hairpin Yang Yue gave her, her thoughts drifting away. After an unknown amount of time, Xie Xiao came in with food.
Seeing Shangguan Xi in such a dazed state, Xie Xiao called out softly, "Xi'er..."
Shangguan Xi came back to his senses, looked up at Xie Xiao, and suddenly said, "Xie Xiao, go tell Yuan Jinxia about Yang Yue. Maybe with her superb tracking skills, she can find Yang Yue's whereabouts as soon as possible."
Xie Xiao nodded, put down the food in his hand and rushed to find Yuan Jinxia. When he saw Yuan Jinxia, he hurriedly told her that Shangguan Xi had been found safely, but there was no news since Yang Yue fell off the cliff.
When Yuan Jinxia heard this, her face suddenly changed, and her heart was instantly hanging. Without saying a word, she immediately followed Xie Xiao to find Yang Yue.
After careful observation and analysis, Yuan Jinxia used her superb tracking skills to infer that Yang Yue was most likely rescued by someone else. Hearing this guess, Xie Xiao and Yuan Jinxia breathed a sigh of relief.
At the same time, Yang Yue finally couldn't help but tear off the piece of cloth covering his face. When he saw the face full of scars in the mirror, especially the long scar on his cheek, he froze in place as if struck by lightning.
Then, a wave of despair quickly overwhelmed him like a tide. Yang Yue could no longer control the pain and anger in his heart, and frantically grabbed the objects around him and smashed them to the ground.
Accompanied by crackling sounds, Yang Yue finally collapsed powerlessly on the cold ground, crying like a child.
