"There is more here."
Another person exclaimed, but in the thorn bushes that deviated from the mountain road behind, someone discovered a large amount of blood.
Like the bloodstains on the edge of the cliff, the bloodstains were clearly fresh and tight.
Is it possible Lei Bingwen and Qu Ling's hearts sank at the same time, and a bad premonition came to their minds.
The two of them rushed over, but the more they looked at it, the more frightened they became.
Just now, he only thought about pursuing forward and didn't pay attention to his feet at all.
After careful inspection at this time, there were two ruts on the mountain road a few feet away.
And obviously one is deeper and the other is shallower.
And not far forward along the crooked trajectory, there was a pool of blood that was spraying.
Qu Ling dipped her finger in it and smelled it, her face became even more ugly: "This is the blood of animals."
His eyes were immediately fixed on a deep scratch on the edge of the cliff.
"What should we do?"
Even Lei Bingwen was confused at this moment.
In fact, all the circumstances point to the fact that just now it became clear that a car fell off a cliff because of a frightened horse.
But according to the results of the two men's previous pursuit, the carriage that escaped from this road was most likely the fifth prince, Ji Sheng, who was holding Yang Xihe hostage.
If the carriage really fell off a cliff The two of them leaned forward and looked down, feeling dizzy and bottomless.
Just at this time, a wild wind blew past my ears.
The wind was so strong that a guard who was near the cliff was blown away.
He was so frightened that he hurriedly stepped back, but he was kicked without warning.
I came across a piece of stubborn rock, which was the size of a millstone.
It may have been loosened due to a severe impact, but after being kicked so hard, it immediately fell down the cliff.
But no reply was heard for a long time.
"How high must this cliff be?"
A guard in Jinyi smacked his lips and said.
If someone really fell from here, I'm afraid they would have no physical abilities at all.
"I'll go down and take a look."
Qu Ling gritted his teeth.
Ji Sheng is the prince after all, and if he is really smashed into a pulp like this, the emperor must feel uncomfortable.
Not to mention Yang Xihe It wasn't because of her that your Excellency changed from a killing machine to a living person with the joys and sorrows of an ordinary person.
If you die here, I really don't dare to think what will happen to you.
"No, the wind is strong and the cliff is deep, and there is no good leverage point."
Lei Bingwen frowned.
Before he finished speaking, Qu Ling flew down like a big bird.
Lei Bingwen's heart suddenly rose, but there was nothing he could do.
He had to ask his subordinates to quickly find some ropes to prepare for rescue at any time.
After about a stick of incense, Qu Ling's figure finally reappeared.
There was obviously a lot of moss on his hands and feet, and the clothes on his arms were scratched, and a hideous scar was looming on his fair skin. .
Lei Bingwen frowned and handed over a cloak: "Is there any clue?"
Qu Ling shook his head with a sad expression.
Just now, I jumped down one after another.
I was afraid that I would slip down for more than ten or twenty feet, but I still couldn't see where the bottom of the cliff was.
If I fell from such a high place, even a god would be hard-pressed to survive.
It was not until two days later that, under the leadership of local mountain people, Qu Ling and Lei Bingwen finally bypassed many obstacles and arrived at the bottom of the cliff where the incident occurred.
However, they saw only a broken carriage and the remaining horse skull eaten by wild beasts. , in addition, there are several pools of dried blood and a jade pendant.
After being identified by the chamberlain serving the fifth prince in the palace, it was not owned by the fifth prince Ji Sheng.

On the same day, news of the great victory in Qinzhou was quickly delivered to the court.
Yang Zefang, who stood firm in Qinzhou, finally waited for the long-awaited reinforcements from the fourth prince Ji Lin, and Shen Chengli, who had fought all the way from Linzhou, joined forces with the outside world and merged the rebels with Xiliao to make dumplings.
Especially Shen Cheng, who beheaded the rebel leader in the midst of thousands of troops and captured the prince of Xiliao alive.
When the news came, the whole world was shocked.
The emperor was so excited that he laughed three times in the court hall, but then he vomited blood and fainted on the throne.
When I woke up, the first imperial edict was to summon Prince Ji Lin to return to the capital and order the Ministry of Rites to immediately prepare for the crown prince's enthronement.
As for the second imperial edict, the British Duke Shen Cheng was ordered to serve as the Grand Marshal of the Army and the Prince Tai.
Fu Yangzefang and others accompanied the prince to Beijing to receive the reward.
When the news spread, the whole country was shocked.
Now that the war has subsided, the prince, as the crown prince, returns to the court, which is what the title says.
As for Yang Zefang, he has long been a famous scholar all over the world, and he has made great achievements in defending Qinzhou.
The emperor cannot give him too much attention.
Only Shen Cheng was beyond everyone's expectations.
After all, there is no one in the entire imperial capital who doesn’t know that Shen Cheng’s father, Shen Qingyun, was a close confidant who followed the fifth prince Ji Sheng.
To put it bluntly, he did not fail to stumbling upon the prince when he held great power.
It would not be wrong to say that he was the prince’s mortal enemy.
Pass.
Even when the emperor belittled Shen Qingyun, he reserved a title of Duke for Shen Cheng.
In the eyes of many people, it was just a temporary measure.
After all, Shen Cheng fought bloody battles on the front line and played a vital role in the victory or defeat of the Qinzhou battle.
But once the war ends, there will definitely not be any Shen family left to support him.
If he doesn't know why, he will find an excuse to put Shen Cheng aside.
After a long time, he will just put him aside and sit on the bench.
How could you imagine that the emperor would give Shen Cheng such great power?
In addition to the 100,000 troops sent to Qinzhou by the imperial court, there are also at least 100,000 elite troops brought by the prince from the northern border.
Putting the two together, Shen Cheng's men may not be able to control half the strength of Tai Zhengtai.
I think that when the old Duke was still alive and the Shen family was at its peak, it was just like this.
When the old prince held great power, he was already in his forties.
How old was Shen Chengcai?
He had not even gotten married yet.
Some people even wondered whether the prince could tolerate such a thing.
After all, the former military marshal was Ji Lin himself.
No matter how hard you create the army, you have to find someone trustworthy to take over.
You can't give it to the fifth prince, Ji Sheng.
Qinzhou.
Just after a great battle, where Qinzhou is located, there are ruins everywhere and it looks extremely desolate.
Shen Qingyun and Zhou Jingwen's hearts were even more frightened than the dilapidated city wall.
The two of them have been imprisoned in the same small courtyard for these days.
They were still taking chances at first, thinking that now that the fifth prince is in charge, how can they tolerate the loss of the military power that they finally grabbed.
After a long time, there will be The imperial envoys came and imprisoned Yang Zefang.
When the two men regained power, they would teach Yang Zefang to repent.
But he didn't want to wait and wait.
Instead of waiting for Ji Sheng's people, the army of the fourth prince Ji Lin came.
He even heard the news that his soul was flying to the sky.
The emperor came to power and immediately appointed the crown prince and promulgated it to the world.

But it was not the fifth prince Ji Sheng whom they tried to protect, but the fourth prince Ji Lin who had previously made many calculations.
"I don't know if the court is in the middle of the court."
Shen Qingyun cleared his throat, his voice was dry, but he was interrupted by a tsunami-like cheer just halfway through.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is a thousand years old."
"Shen Shuai is mighty" "Commander Shen" Shen Qingyun was stunned for a moment.
He didn't know when there was a general named Shen in the army, and he also became a marshal.
Zhou Jingwen was also a little dazed, and suddenly thought of someone who might be Shen Qingyun's eldest son named Shen Cheng.
But he immediately denied it.
How is it possible At this moment, Qinzhou is attracting the attention of the whole world.
The commander-in-chief of Qinzhou has made outstanding achievements and is highly regarded by everyone.
How could Shen Cheng have such prestige at such a young age?
To take a step back, since Prince Ji Lin is here, he will hand over the command to his most trusted people no matter what, and he will not let an outsider take away the credit and military power.
The two of them were wondering when the courtyard door was pushed open from the outside, but it was the handyman who was usually responsible for looking after the two of them who came in carrying two food boxes.
Different from the gloomy days in the past, the handyman is beaming with joy these days: "Eat, the prince has rewarded the three armies, and you two will also take advantage of it.
There is meat in this dish today."
After eating meat, Shen Qingyun and Zhou Jingwen immediately salivated in their mouths.
Ever since Qinzhou was besieged, the most vivid memory in their minds was hunger.
As for meat, they had only tasted it in their dreams.
The two took the food box and couldn't wait to devour it.
It wasn't until he reluctantly finished the last bit of broth in the food box that Shen Qingyun held his belly with one hand and wiped his mouth with the other: "By the way, little brother, do you know the handsome Shen who was shouting outside before?"
"You mean Marshal Shen Cheng?"
The handyman was of a low status, but he didn't know that Shen Qingyun was Shen Cheng's father.
Hearing this, he puffed up his belly and looked proud.
Then he thought of something, glanced at Shen Qingyun with disdain, and muttered, "They all have the surname Shen.
Only someone like Marshal Shen can bring face to the family.
What if?"
They are all just like you, tsk tsk, my ancestors were so angry that they crawled out of the ground."
After saying that, he packed up the food box angrily, left the stunned Shen Qingyun and Zhou Jingwen behind, and walked away.
It wasn't until the figure of the handyman disappeared that Shen Qingyun came back to his senses, banged the door desperately and howled: "Let me out, I want to see Shen Cheng."
He called several times, but no one answered him.
Shen Qingyun hurriedly changed his rhetoric again, banging on the door and shouting: "I am Shen Cheng's father, tell Shen Cheng to come over and see me."
The handyman had just walked not far when he almost laughed out loud when he heard this.
He threw away the food box, picked up a stick, and looked at Shen Qingyun who heard the footsteps and ran to the window happily to look out.
Pounded it up: "You dare to pretend to be our Marshal Shen's father.
You are tired of life.
You are a coward like you.
You have a penny relationship with our Marshal and you dare to talk nonsense.
I will see if I don't seal your mouth."
Shen Qingyun screamed "Ouch" when he was hit, and fell to the ground with his face covered.
The corners of his mouth were obviously bruised and blood was flowing down.
The handyman was still upset and slapped Shen Qingyun a few times, then cursed and walked away.
After walking a few steps, he turned back and spit at Shen Qingyun: "Shen Ruandan, remember, if you dare to take advantage of Marshal Shen, don't even think about eating today or tomorrow, you will starve to death, you bastard" gd1806102:
