At this time, the search and rescue team heading south came to report, "Madam Female Prime Minister, a large area of blood was found in the south, and there are bodies everywhere. This time they are from the Yanyang Kingdom."
Pei Zhiyuan hurriedly asked: "Have you found Song Lin? Have you found Xue Yan?"
"The... Prime Minister..." Xue Yu stirred in the man's arms, quickly opened his eyes, and said, "The Prime Minister...is not dead! Lin Mu, it's the Prime Minister who came to save us."
"Well... don't open your eyes." Lin Mu gently covered her eyes and blew the insect flute.
The dense and wriggling swarm of insects quickly retreated, and even the corpses of the insects on the ground were quickly moved into the cracks in the yellow sand and disappeared.
There were only a few corpses left on the open ground. They were wearing the uniforms of the North Sea Cavalry. Like those they had encountered before, they were stung to death by poisonous scorpions and bitten by insects beyond recognition.
Several soldiers from the search and rescue team carefully stepped into the pit with stretchers. Seeing that no insects emerged from the ground, they quickly moved the two people onto the stretchers.
Lin Mu had already passed out. He was seriously injured and only managed to hold on until reinforcements arrived before he stopped attacking.
Shen Xu anxiously ran to the stretcher and asked about the whereabouts of Xue Yu and the others, "Miss Xue, where are my husband and uncle, and where is your brother?"
Blood was oozing from the corner of Xue Yu's mouth, half of his face was covered with scratches, and his arm was dislocated and bent in an unnatural position, looking like it was broken.
She said weakly, "My brother, he was kidnapped by the people of Beihai."
"What about A-lin and uncle?"
"General Song..." Xue Yu sobbed in agony. Tears welled up in her eyes, and a few words escaped her dry lips with difficulty. "Madam Prime Minister, he might... he might be dead."
Shen Xu's eyes suddenly turned red when she heard this. She couldn't accept it and grabbed Xue Yu's hand tightly. "Impossible, did you see him die with your own eyes? Where is his body? Tell me where he is!"
Xue Yu clutched her hand painfully, crying as he said, "It's in the south, in the south. Yesterday, when we were retreating to Xiling City, we encountered a group of Beihai people on the way. They poisoned us to make us lose our martial arts skills and kidnapped me and my brother.
Later, Lin Mu’s elder brother sent troops to support us, and they all chased after us to rescue us. I jumped off the horse and escaped.
When they were about to catch up and rescue my brother, they encountered another team of martial arts masters.
The leader was a masked man who wielded a gun and was very skilled in martial arts.
Lin Mu's eldest brother was stabbed and seriously injured, so his soldiers had to take him back to Xiling City for treatment.
But that expert kept chasing his elder brother and killing anyone he saw.
General Song had no choice but to give up trying to save my brother and started fighting with that man. His martial arts skills hadn't recovered yet, and he was stabbed in the chest."
Shen Xu felt his heart tremble suddenly, and hurriedly grabbed Xue Yu and asked: "Where is he? Where is he?"
"To protect us, General Song dragged that man into the quicksand. When we went to look for him again, the Beihai people came back to capture me. It was Brother Lin Mu who risked his life to save me..."
"He just got stuck in quicksand. He won't die..."
Shen Xu was instantly thrown into disarray. Her eyes were red and her voice was hoarse as she shouted, "Go find him quickly! Dig everywhere around here! Dig three feet deep to find him!"
"Lady Prime Minister, please save my brother." Xue Yu clutched her sleeve tightly, crying and begging, "He was kidnapped by the Beihai people. He can't run away because of his disabled legs!"
"I will bring him home. Don't worry, I will bring everyone back." Her shoulders heaved as she stood there at a loss, fear and blame spreading throughout her heart.
Pei Zhiyuan walked behind her and wanted to hug her. He raised his hands several times but didn't know what to do. Finally, he chose to put his hand on her shoulder, trying to calm her panic.
After spending so much time together, he was afraid of losing Xue Yan and Song Lin, and even more afraid of losing this female prime minister who had worked so hard for the Haoyue Kingdom.
He spoke with difficulty and obscurity, "If the body is not found, it means he is still alive."
"Immediately warn the Beihai Kingdom and have them return Xue Yan immediately. If anything goes wrong with him, I will make Beihai pay the price.
The search and rescue team searched the desert for three days and three nights, turning over a large area of sand from the worm pit to the south, but still failed to find the Song uncle and nephew.
Shen Xu had been searching for three days and three nights without sleep. When the soldiers reported that they had found the butterfly knife and heart-shaped hairpin on Song Lin's head at the edge of the quicksand, her body completely collapsed.
Shen Xu's eyes went dark and he fainted.
…
When he woke up again, he was already on his way back to Beijing. As soon as Shen Xu opened his eyes, he hurriedly asked about the progress of the search and rescue.
After asking this, I found out that she had been in a coma for five days, but there was still no news from the Song uncle and nephew.
The search and rescue team has given up the search. They lost hundreds of people in that quicksand, and none of them were left alive.
Song Lin was so seriously injured that there was almost no possibility of survival.
Shen Xu was unwilling to accept this fact, but he was heartbroken and powerless.
She locked herself in the carriage and refused to eat or drink.
Wang's army reported the fall of Linzhou Prefecture. Yang Chonghu, with 200,000 troops, captured the cities of Qixia and Xieyang, and captured Wang Shun, the prefect of Linjiang. He pinned the blame for the female chancellor's murder on Liu Ziren and Wang Shun and spread the news.
Although Yang Yihu was beaten back step by step and retreated to an isolated city on the cliffs bordering Xiling City, he led the remaining Jiangling people to fight to the death. The battle was unprecedentedly brutal.
