The emperor's heart beat wildly a few times, and his face looked extremely ugly. "Send the order down, order the local government to rescue Princess Qingping with all their strength, and those who have made contributions will be promoted by two ranks."
Mu Wanqing must not die. She is a person of great ability. She has promoted economic development over the years and brought about earth-shaking changes to Da Qi. He can almost foresee the arrival of a peaceful and prosperous era.
He wanted to become a king who would restore the country and create a peaceful and prosperous era. Mu Wanqing was the most important part of the plan, and many of his plans depended on her to be implemented.
In fact, Mu Wanqing was the assistant minister he planned to leave for the next emperor.
Her importance can be imagined.
"Yes." Wei Shaohui was extremely anxious, but his face was calm, like an emotionless robot.
The emperor walked to the window and looked outside. The sky was dark and unusually quiet.
Listening to Wei Shaohui's brief introduction, his face became worse and worse. Hundreds of top killers were dispatched just to kill Mu Wanqing. Could she be lucky enough to escape this disaster?
His thoughts turned over, and he was worried, "Who did it?"
This is also what Wei Shaohui wants to know. Who has such a deep hatred, and whose family has such financial resources?
Aren’t you afraid of retaliation afterwards?
Mu Wanqing was accompanied by thousands of Qingping soldiers, but they only knew rough kung fu and had mediocre skills. They were good at team combat and gunpowder bows and crossbows.
His mind was working rapidly, and he stood with his hands hanging down, listening silently.
The emperor was overwhelmed. Mu Wanqing was thousands of miles away and out of reach, so he could only rely on her luck.
The mastermind behind the scenes was too arrogant. He even dared to assassinate important officials of the court and openly challenged the prestige of the court.
If he can assassinate an important official today, he will be able to assassinate a member of the royal family one day, right?
He had murderous intentions. "Ci Fu's group has been jumping around recently, and they haven't been very quiet. They had constant friction with Mu Wanqing before, but it wasn't to the point of killing her. He doesn't have that much courage."
"Moreover, everyone knows that the two have a grudge against each other. If something happens to Princess Qingping, the Second Assistant will be the biggest enemy. Logically, the Second Assistant is not that stupid."
If something is too goal-oriented, it cannot be true.
Wei Shaohui's eyes flickered slightly, and he said casually, "It could be that the light is dark, or it could be the other way around."
The emperor's heart moved and his eyes narrowed slightly, but he didn't say anything else.
After thinking it over, he still felt uneasy. "Wei Shaohui, you personally take people to run there and make sure to bring Princess Qingping back safely. Da Qi cannot live without Princess Qingping."
Wei Shaohui knelt on one knee and said, "Yes, I will do my best to complete the task."
"Go ahead, and set off tonight."
As soon as Wei Shaohui left, the emperor immediately called the Dragon Shadow Guards. "Investigate all officials above the fourth rank, especially the cabinet and several ministers. Don't miss any clues..."
He thought for a moment and added, "Check the royal family as well."
Once you do it, it will leave traces.
"Yes." A black shadow quickly disappeared into the dark night.
A long sigh was heard in the huge palace. Mu Wanqing, you have to hold on until rescued.
The capital is in turmoil again.
At this moment, in an unknown cave, a bonfire lit up the dim cave, bringing a touch of warmth. Outside, there was a violent storm, as if it were two different worlds.
A rope made of wet clothes divided the cave into two halves. On one side were Mu Wanqing and a female secret guard, and on the other side were a male secret guard and three black-clothed guards.
Everybody was treating their wounds, everybody was hurt.
Mu Wanqing was the only one who was not injured, but her clothes were stained with other people's blood, so she definitely couldn't wear them anymore.
She took the first aid backpack with her when she got off the carriage, and it came in handy now. She took out a set of folded clothes and a first aid box, which contained various pills, knife wound medicine, gauze, disinfectant alcohol and other first aid items.
She distributed the things to everyone, stopped the bleeding and treated the wounds of the female secret guard, and also stuffed some pills for her to replenish her energy.
Looking at the hideous wounds on the body of her secret guard, her expression was extremely solemn.
Our side paid a terrible price, and of course, the other side also suffered countless casualties, with corpses everywhere.
Who is so cruel? Several names flashed through her mind.
The sound of "gurgling" from her stomach woke Mu Wanqing up from her deep thought, "A'er, although the two knives didn't hit your vital parts, the excessive bleeding has hurt your vitality. You should have a good rest first."
The female secret guard's lips turned pale, but she still managed to hold on, "I'm fine. I can get through any serious injury."
Mu Wanqing rubbed her brows, "Ada, are you guys okay?"
The male secret guard on the other side said, "Master, don't worry, we are all fine. You must be hungry. I will go out and see if there is anything to eat."
Those who have gone through fire and water say they can still continue to fight.
Mu Wanqing listened to the voice of lack of breath and sighed silently in her heart, holding on.
"How can there be food in this weather? Everyone is resting in the cave...Ah, there is a snake."
A big snake swam over at some point, scaring Mu Wanqing. Ah Er was quick-witted and rushed over to grab the snake by the waist, then took a look and said, "This snake is not poisonous."
She twisted the snake's head off and said with joy, "Master, you can roast the snake and eat it now."
Mu Wanqing didn't want to eat snakes, but in this situation she just wanted to survive. She opened her backpack again and took out two tin lunch boxes. The contents of one of them were wrapped in oil paper and contained various condiments such as oil, salt, sugar, ginger, cumin, etc.
One was filled with rice and tied tightly with a belt. The quantity was not large, only enough for one person for a week.
Ah Er was shocked. "You have these things in your first aid kit?"
I can understand bringing spare clothes, raincoat, rope, whistle, compass, tinder, gold leaves, and dagger. Bringing condiments is nothing, but I was shocked by how complete the whole thing was.
Mu Wanqing smiled slightly and took out a can of luncheon meat and a small clay pot.
But, how come I have everything?
This has become a habit for Mu Wanqing, a bloody lesson from wilderness survival training.
She had already changed into some clean clothes and tied her long black hair into a high ponytail.
She raised her eyes and looked across. Two Wuyi Guards were unconscious, and the other two were taking care of them.
It's really miserable. Let's roll up our sleeves and get to work, and fill our stomach first.
She walked to the cave entrance and used the rain to clean the snake, picking out the gallbladder first. "Who wants to eat it?"
She doesn't eat it anyway.
"I." Ah Er was a secret guard. What had he not eaten during survival training? He had even eaten rats.
Mu Wanqing watched her swallow the snake gall raw, pursed her lips, and started to work efficiently.
Several people stared at her as she washed the rice, added water to cook porridge, and then found a flat stone to start roasting the snake segments with extremely skilled movements.
The Wuyi Guards were stunned. Not only could she cook, but she also seemed very skilled at it. Wasn't she a noble lady who had never had to do any housework?
Watching her prepare the meal calmly and steadily, everyone's anxious hearts were calmed down somehow.
You have to eat well even if the sky falls. Everything will be fine as long as Princess Qingping is here.
The court will definitely send a rescue team, so we just have to wait until they arrive.
With a sizzling sound, the fat was fried out and the aroma of food gradually spread in the cave.
Sprinkle the snake segments with salt and cumin, cut the luncheon meat into pieces and put it into the stewed rice porridge, the aroma becomes even more tempting.
The unconscious people sniffed their noses unconsciously. It smelled so good.
Ah Er swallowed his saliva. He had always known that Princess Qingping was an excellent cook, but he had never seen her use her skills. He thought it was just a rumor.
"When can we eat?"
"Almost done." Mu Wanqing stirred the rice porridge with a silver spoon, but it was not fully mixed yet. "The roasted snake segments are ready to eat, eat them all."
Ah Er couldn't wait to pick up a piece of roasted snake. The moment he put it in his mouth, his whole body was shocked. It was fresh, the meat was firm and chewy, and the taste was mellow.
I never knew roasted snake was so delicious.
Ah Da and Wu Yi Wei felt a little embarrassed, after all, it was their master who cooked for them personally. But when they saw Ah Er eating with big mouthfuls, he would pick up a piece of food with his chopsticks before he even swallowed it.
Well, they want to eat too.
The snake tail meat is fat but not greasy, tender and refreshing, and very delicious.
It seems that excellent people are excellent in everything they do.
The rice grains are cooked until they are blooming, and the meat porridge is thick and smooth, nutritious and delicious.
My stomach felt warm and I felt like I was alive again. The shadow of the bloody battle gradually faded away.
The Wuyi Guard gave her a thumbs up, "Princess, you are the god of cooking."
Delicious food has the effect of soothing people's hearts. Mu Wanqing drank the steaming hot meat porridge, which drove away the coldness in her body and warmed her cold heart.
She reviewed what happened today in her mind, thinking over every step again and again.
First of all, how did the killers know her whereabouts?
Secondly, who is the mastermind behind this? She has offended many people, but there is no enemy who is so crazy that he wants to kill her.
No, it’s not that there isn’t any. It’s just that it’s hidden too deeply and I’ve been wearing too many masks.
Secondly, she was now in an unknown mountain with only a few people around her, and the killers were not all dead yet, so they would naturally chase her.
How could she escape from this situation? How could she contact help? How could she turn the situation around?
Oh, this is a hellish script, it’s too difficult.
This torrential rain allowed the killers to act recklessly, but it also obscured their whereabouts and made rescue more difficult.
Her mind was racing, while the three opponents were scrambling for food frantically and almost got into a fight over the last piece of roasted snake.
But there was still some porridge left, and he said he would save it for tomorrow.
Mu Wanqing's mouth twitched. It wasn't much to begin with. "Let's finish eating. Give the two Wuyiwei brothers some rice porridge. Only when they are full and well-fed will they have the strength to protect me."
She cooked half of the rice so she would have enough for tomorrow's meal.
The injured people need to be fed.
After dinner, Er rushed to wash the dishes, while Mu Wanqing spread the oilcloth on the ground and fell asleep.
She fell asleep almost instantly. She was just a weakling with limited physical strength.
In the middle of the night, she was awakened by the noise coming from next door. The two unconscious Wuyi Guards both had fever. They were seriously injured and had been caught in the rain. Even a strong man could not bear it.
Ah F Er pushed her awake and asked, "Do you have any medicine for the cold?"
They had been given pills before, but they had little effect.
Mu Wanqing handed over a bottle of medicine and asked someone to wipe them with alcohol.
All the little bit of stock was used up, but fortunately, by dawn both of them had recovered from their fevers.
The heavy rain lasted for three days and used up all of Mu Wanqing's food supplies. A Da and the Wuyi Guards went out in the rain to look for food. They found wild fruits and vegetables, but no game.
Everyone could only make do with what they had. “When will this rain stop?”
"It's good that it's raining. At least those killers can't find us."
Ah Er subconsciously looked at Mu Wanqing who was sitting at the entrance of the cave, and his heart skipped a beat. "Master, what are you thinking about?"
Mu Wanqing frowned and thought, "I'm only afraid of one thing now."
Several people asked at the same time, "What is it?"
Mu Wanqing looked at the heavy rain. Why was it getting heavier? "With such heavy rainfall, the mountain won't collapse, will it?"
Everyone was shocked, "That's not the case."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a loud noise outside, "Boom."
Ouch, there's a landslide, crow's mouth.
