A large group of people walked in from the cave entrance.
The leader was General Hussar and Mrs. Ruan, followed closely by Zhao Sanniu. The person walking beside him was the King of Qin. Behind them were many small soldiers in the garrison, as well as the King of Qin's cronies.
"There is still residual heat from the fire on the ground." Surprise appeared on the face of the hussar general, "Zhuzhu is here, it must be here!"
Mrs. Ruan looked around, with fragile panic on her face: "But there is no one here... and the fireworks signal is slightly different from our Ruan family's. It may be someone else's signal... I was wrong, I shouldn't have So arrogant, I shouldn’t let Xiao Zhuzhu stand down in front of so many people. If anything happens to Zhuzhu and Sui Shuren, I won’t be able to live either..."
"With my mother here, nothing will happen to them!" Zhao Sanniu's voice was extremely firm. "I have a hunch that my mother is nearby. Let's go look for her separately."
He clenched his fists, his eyes were red, and there were countless bloodshot eyes.
Not just him, everyone present stayed up all night and searched the suburbs of Beijing for a whole night, but found nothing.
The King of Qin was not alarmed at first. It was the King of Qin who went to the Sui Shu people's house to have a meal. Then he learned that the Sui Shu people had gone to garrison in the suburbs of Beijing, so he followed him. Only then did he find out that the Sui Shu people and the daughter of the Ruan family had disappeared together. He immediately summoned the ban. The Guards came to search.
So many people searched together, but still couldn't find it.
King Qin squinted his eyes and said: "When we came up just now, there were some shallow footprints. In other words, someone came to this cave before us. Could it be the person who kidnapped them?"
Mrs. Ruan had thought of this for a long time, but she didn't dare to say it, as if it would come true as soon as she said it. She turned pale and fell into her husband's arms.
"Mrs. Ruan, don't worry." King Qin twirled his fingers, "I have sent people to trace the footprints. Even if I can't save Sui Shu and Miss Ruan, I still have to find the person behind it and see how I can kill him. Cut off the flesh piece by piece..."
"Your Majesty, you must keep your word!"
A delicate voice came from the deepest part of the cave.
Mrs. Ruan turned around suddenly and rushed over: "My dear Zhuzhu, you're okay. It's great that you're okay... Sui Shu is okay too. I'm really lucky. Sui Shu, I'm really sorry. If If I hadn't asked you to chase Xiao Zhuzhu, you wouldn't have encountered such a thing..."
Just as Cheng Wanwan was about to speak, a figure rushed over and hugged her into his arms: "Mom, it's great that you're okay, woo woo woo..."
King Qin: "..."
This Zhao Sanniu was about the same height as him. A grown man actually held his own mother in his arms and cried bitterly in her arms. This scene was simply impossible to watch.
Cheng Wanwan was also helpless and patted her son on the back: "Okay, stop crying. Isn't Mom okay?"
Zhao Sanniu had held on for the whole night, but now his heartstrings were loosened and he collapsed. He couldn't stop crying at all. His wails could be heard in the huge cave.
"Oh Zhao Jingyu, you are a grown man, how dare you cry?" Ruan Mingzhu rolled her eyes speechlessly, "Sui Shu people froze in the cave all night and were hungry all night without crying, and finally they were rescued. I have to coax you, an eight-foot-tall adult child, first, it’s not easy for Sui Shuren to be a mother!”
Zhao Sanniu stopped crying instantly.
He wiped his tears randomly and wanted to scold him back, but then he realized that this person was no longer Ruan Cheng, but a girl.
He could only ignore Ruan Mingzhu's words and greeted Cheng Wanwan: "Mom, are you still cold? Come on, put on my clothes. I still have some dry food on me. Mom, please eat a few mouthfuls to cushion your stomach..."
He took off his outer clothes and put them on Cheng Wanwan, then took out a dirty cloth bag from his waist and took out a piece of dry biscuit.
"This dry pancake will make you choke." King Qin came over and took a food box from his entourage. "Here are some soft and delicious snacks. Suishu people, please eat some."
Cheng Wanwan raised his head and glanced at King Qin, and saw the bloodshot eyes, the dark green under his eyes, and the light stubble on his lips. At a glance, he knew that this King of Qin had indeed spent all his energy to find her.
She said: "Thank you, Your Majesty."
This was the first time that King Qin received a sincere thank you from Cheng Wanwan. He took a step forward and was about to continue to show his concern, but was pushed away by Zhao Sanniu calmly.
This boy was tall and strong. When he stood in front of Cheng Wanwan, she was completely protected in front of him. King Qin could not get close at all.
Cheng Wanwan changed the topic: "Is Sidan almost dying of anxiety?"
"I didn't dare to tell Si Dan about this." Zhao Sanniu scratched the back of his head, "Si Dan is about to learn how to try, and I don't want him to worry, and he can't do anything if he knows..."
"You did a great job." Cheng Wanwan praised, "Don't tell him when you go back later, don't distract him."
She ate as she spoke and quickly regained her strength.
Ruan Mingzhu also ate a lot, and her mouth was bulging like a squirrel.
After eating, we were ready to go down the mountain.
"Wait a minute." Cheng Wanwan said, "Jing Yu, take all the little soldiers out, and please ask the prince to ask everyone around you to step back."
The faces of General Hussar and King Qin both became solemn.
It seems that something big happened to make Suishu people take it so seriously. Could it be that the identity of the person who took action this time is very unusual?
The soldiers and imperial guards in the cave quickly retreated, leaving only the Ruan family of three, Cheng Wanwan and King Qin.
"Your Majesty just said that you will cut off the flesh of the person behind the scenes piece by piece. I will keep this in mind." Ruan Mingzhu was the first to speak, "When the people sent by Your Majesty to track the footprints come back, let's check it out again. If you have clues, you will know who is behind it. Now, let’s talk about something more important, Suishu people, please.”
Cheng Wanwan turned around and said, "Follow me."
Ruan Mingzhu hurriedly followed up, stretched out her hand to twist the mechanism, and a crack opened in the stone wall. Cheng Wanwan blew the fire folding piece and took the lead to walk in.
When they saw the numerous boxes and cages at the back of the inner room, General Hussar and King Qin stepped forward and opened one of the boxes. Without Cheng Wanwan's reminder, the two of them saw the marks on the weapons.
"He Hanhai is a civil servant, why does he have so many weapons forged?" General Hussar looked in disbelief, "This weapon is much better than the weapons used by the garrison. From the first glance, it is not forged by the imperial court, it must be privately made! Second grade! The court officials made a large number of weapons privately, are they trying to...rebellion?"
Mrs. Ruan hurriedly spoke: "Even if the He family wants to rebel, they must have someone to support them. Now that the status of the East Palace is stable, and the second, third, fourth and fifth princes are all incompetent, which one can the He family support?"
King Qin's face suddenly turned cold.
He seemed to have thought of something, and his face became even more ugly.
He threw the knife into the cage and said word by word: "This matter is kept secret for the time being. It cannot be told to anyone except here. I will go to the palace to report to the emperor brother."
Everyone put their weapons away intact, and after leaving the secret room, they called for someone to clean up the cave before heading down the mountain.
The snow had stopped by now, but the snow was very deep. Zhao Sanniu carefully supported Cheng Wanwan and walked for half an hour before finally reaching a place where he could ride a carriage.
"Thank you Sui Shu this time." Mrs. Ruan thanked her sincerely, "I will definitely come to the door with my beads to say thank you someday."
Cheng Wanwan smiled and said: "Maybe I have caused trouble to Miss Ruan, so Mrs. Ruan doesn't have to be so polite."
Mrs. Ruan said nothing more, but she believed in her heart that it was Sui Shuren who saved her daughter. Otherwise, her daughter would not have been able to survive in the deep mountains and forests due to her carelessness...
