Yinzhen saw Yinzuo wash his face by the stream and then find a stone to sit on. He simply followed suit, walked to the stream, washed his face, and then picked up a stone to sit on.
The temperature in the forest was much colder than outside. When the cold stream water splashed on his face and was blown by the wind, Yin'er couldn't help but shiver. He raised his eyes to look at Yinzuo who was sitting not far from him in thin clothes, and his brows couldn't help but frowned.
Although the days in summer are much longer than those in winter, they are now deep in the mountains, and because of the trees blocking the view, it is already a little dark in the forest.
Judging from the current situation, they will most likely spend the night in this forest. The nights in the mountains are already cold, and considering his sixth brother's small physique, it's hard not to worry.
"Hey, Sixth Brother, it's getting dark soon. After nightfall, not only will the temperature in the forest drop, but the danger will also increase. We should not rest any longer. The most urgent thing is to find a safe place to spend the night."
Although Yinzuo had no experience in surviving in the wild, he knew that what Yin'er said was absolutely right. The forest at night was indeed very dangerous. Not to mention that the two of them had nothing but two bows and arrows and a horse. Even if they brought enough manpower, they would have to be extremely careful if they wanted to spend the night in the forest.
"Xiao Jiu is right. We are unfamiliar with the place so we have to be careful. But you don't have to worry too much. I see that the trees in this forest are tall and strong. At night, we can find a big tree to climb up and rest. It will be safer than staying on the ground. I just don't know what the situation is like at the camp. If everything goes well, Xiao Shi should have rushed out by now."
Yinzuo's guess was correct. Yinzuo had indeed led his men out of the assassins' encirclement in the camp and successfully met up with Akshan and others outside the valley.
Although the battle was brutal, at least everyone was still alive. In order to protect the safety of Yinzuo and Yin'er, Akshan led his guards to fight back desperately. Although he finally succeeded in killing the assassin, he himself was hit by several arrows.
Even though he tried his best to avoid the vital parts, the bleeding was enough to make him dizzy and dazed. After knowing that he was safe, he relaxed and fainted immediately.
"Come here, quickly lift Akshan and send him back to the tent. Hatu, don't just stand there. Ride back to the villa and tell Khan Ama that we were assassinated while we were out on the road. The guards around us were seriously injured. Sixth and Ninth Brothers fled into the forest in a panic. Tell him to send someone over quickly..."
Although Hatu was slightly injured on his arm, compared with the seriously injured and unconscious Akshan, his injury was negligible. Upon hearing this, he quickly took the horse from the guard beside him, saluted to Yin?, jumped on the horse and headed towards the villa.
Yinzuo, Yin'er, and Yin'e brought a lot of guards with them. Even though they suffered heavy casualties, at least they were not completely wiped out. Yinzuo and Yin'er were now missing, so Yin'e naturally did not dare to stop for a moment.
He asked the guards who were still able to move to gather up the bodies of the guards and assassins near the tent and pile them up. He carried the seriously injured guards in and helped them treat their wounds. Then Yin took off his coat with the help of others and asked someone to stop the bleeding on the wound on his back.
Yinzuo was not only the treasure and beloved child of Emperor Kangxi, but Yinzhen also obviously regarded him as the apple of his eye. When he heard that he, Yin'er and Yin'er were assassinated while out playing and their whereabouts were unknown, he would be in great trouble.
"Yinzhi, take your men into the forest now. I don't care what method you use, you must bring Yinzuo out to me safely. Yinreng, don't be idle either. Hurry and take the imperial physician to the camp to check. Hatu said that the tenth son and the guards are injured. Fourth son, go and investigate carefully for me. I want to find out who is so bold as to dare to attack my son..."
No matter what, Yinzuo was his younger brother who had grown up under the care of Yinzhi. Kangxi would certainly do his best without any special instructions from him. Kangxi sat there seemingly calmly watching Yinzhi, Yinreng, and Yinzhen take orders and leave, but in fact, he was nervous deep down.
His son had been spoiled since childhood. For so many years, he hadn't dared to touch him, and now he had suffered such a hardship. He didn't know how he was doing, whether he was injured. It was already dark, and he wondered if the two children would be in danger if they stayed in the woods tonight...
There is a saying that nothing can withstand careful scrutiny. Kangxi sat there thinking and became more and more impatient. He stood up and walked around the room several times before he managed to calm down.
Let’s not talk about how anxious Kangxi was, let’s just talk about Yinzhen. After Yinreng and his men arrived at the camp and saw the bodies of the guards and assassins piled up in the open space nearby, their already tense hearts became even more nervous. The camp was already in such a miserable state, and what about Yinzuo and Yinlu who ran into the woods, who were also injured?
"Second Brother, have the imperial doctors treat the wounds of Tenth Brother and the others first. I'll take people into the woods to find Sixth Brother, Nineth Brother and the others. Once you've dealt with things here, don't waste time here. Quickly take people back to the manor. I guess Khan Ama is still waiting for news."
Although Yinreng was also worried about the safety of Yinzuo and the others, he knew that this was not the time to talk. He told Yinzhi to be careful and rushed towards the tent with the imperial physician and guards.
When Yinzhi and his companions came, they brought a lot of guards with them. Yinzhi divided them into four teams of a hundred people each, and sent them in four directions of the forest. He took the remaining guards with him, led by Yinzuo's Jifeng, and began to search the forest carefully.
Let’s not talk about how anxious Yinzhi and the others are at this moment, they are so anxious that they are about to turn the forest upside down, let’s just talk about what Yinzuo and Yin’er’s family are doing now?
"Xiaojiu, can you do this? You better move faster. Is it really that hard to make fire by rubbing two sticks together? I clearly saw smoke coming out just now, so why didn't it catch fire?"
Forget about making fire by rubbing two sticks together. Yin'er had never even made a fire in his life. If Yinzuo wasn't the only ancestor here, he wouldn't have to do it himself.
Not only were his hands hurt from being rubbed by the wooden stick, but he also had to be scolded by his sixth brother. Even though Yinzhen was a coward in front of his brother, he obviously couldn't help himself at this moment.
"Sixth brother, if you're not working, can you sit aside and rest for a while? Making fire by rubbing two sticks together isn't as easy as you think. How about you do it if you can?"
I'll do it if I want to. I just don't believe it. I watched so many wilderness survival videos in my previous life, and it was all in vain. It's just making fire by rubbing two sticks together. So, easy.
"Xiaojiu, didn't Sixth Brother tell you that you know the difference between humans and animals? The reason humans are more powerful than animals is because they can use tools. Get up and take my turn. Just stand by and watch how I light the fire..."
