Ni Yang looked at Li Zhu with embarrassment, as if saying with his eyes, "You take care of the old lady."

But Li Zhu glared back, and her meaning was very clear: do as the old lady says!

As the two were in a stalemate, they suddenly heard someone shouting from the front.

"General, we have found something here!"

These words startled Fourth Aunt and the others. Without saying anything, they immediately ran there.

When they arrived, Gu Shaoyu was still standing there, squatting on the ground and looking carefully. There were strips of cloth on the clothes and a broken token that had been half buried for a long time, with only a small part of its head sticking out. If the soldier was not sharp-eyed, he would not have seen it even if he passed by them.

Everyone was surprised that things from more than 20 years ago could still be found here.

"dig."

"Yes, General."

Those people picked up the shovels they carried with them and started digging near the token. They thought there might be a body here, but they didn't expect that after digging for half a day, they only found half of the token. The strips of cloth fell apart with a slight pinch, like mud.

After taking the token, Ni Yang rinsed it carefully.

Only half of the word "Ling" could be vaguely seen on it, and the word was surrounded by a circle of auspicious cloud patterns. When people saw this, not to mention Gu Shaoyu, even the fourth aunt next to him was surprised.

"This is the cloud pattern token used by your fourth uncle and his men!"

The four sons of the Gu family each commanded a team in the army, which were distinguished by patterns of wind, thunder, fire, and cloud. The team led by the fourth master of the Gu family used cloud-patterned tokens.

Therefore, Fourth Aunt was suddenly very nervous and she grabbed Gu Shaoyu's hand and said.

"Could it be that someone under your fourth uncle's command escaped? This thing must have been left behind by them!"

Gu Shaoyu nodded and also felt that this possibility was very high.

So he leaped onto the strongest tree with all his might, then squatted on it and took a closer look. Unfortunately, more than 20 years had passed, and even if there were any traces left, there was no way to find them.

So he could only jump down and give orders to Ni Yang.

"Send a signal to inform Zheng Deli and the others to come in. Search within a hundred meters from here. Don't miss any traces!"

"Yes, General."

With a central point, they naturally wouldn't look around like headless flies like they did when they first arrived, so they were much faster.

By the time Zheng Deli and his friends found a spot and rushed over after dark, Gu Shaoyu and his friends had already searched many routes, but unfortunately, they had no results.

"General, please take everyone to rest first. Old Zheng will come to find me!"

"Your heart is thicker than an axe, how can you find it?"

Ni Yang retorted, but was retorted by Zheng Deli.

"I may be rude, but this is about the death of the old marshal and his men. How dare I deal with it carelessly? Leave it to us. We are waiting for you outside. We are almost getting hairy!"

If you can't agree with three sentences, just do it.

Gu Shaoyu looked around and realized that the guards who followed him in were still a little tired, so he gave the order.

"Let's find a cave nearby to stay. We'll rest for a night and continue tomorrow."

"Yes, General."

Therefore, Ni Yang led the team to find a cave and arranged for everyone to rest, while Zheng Deli continued digging along the places they had just searched and at a different angle.

He seemed like a very careless person on weekdays, but when he was looking for something today, he wished he was born with four pairs of eyes to look everywhere.

It was dark, and searching by torch would be much slower.

Gu Shaoyu originally wanted to ask Zheng Deli to withdraw the team and look for it again tomorrow. However, his hard work paid off and Fourth Aunt actually saw an inexplicably shiny spot, so she walked closer and dug it out.

The result was that Fourth Aunt just stood there in a daze.

Lizhu thought she was possessed by evil spirits, so she reached out to slap the thing away, but Fourth Aunt screamed immediately.

"This is Jiulang's stuff. I bought two luminous jade pendants from a merchant in the Western Regions, so I gave them to the two brothers. Xiaojiu's piece has a slight flaw, with a small hole in the middle. This one is his, it's his! Could it be that he didn't die, but ran into this forest? But...but I did collect his body!!"

Fourth Aunt was so excited that she almost fainted.

Lizhu couldn't help but worry when she saw this, so she supported her and quickly squatted down and said.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

"Master, don't worry, don't worry. Maybe there is some other way out. Let's look for it slowly and we will definitely find it!"

"Yes, yes, Xiaojiu is still waiting for me, my son, my son!"

Fourth Aunt called out again and again. The sadness in her voice brought everyone back to the past when so many men in the Gu family died for their country. One can imagine how glorious it was.

Gu Shaoyu was able to survive only because of his third uncle and fourth uncle who fought hard for their lives.

So now that he heard that there might still be brothers from the Gu family alive in this world, he became completely uneasy.

He walked over and took the luminous jade pendant and looked at it carefully. Indeed, he had seen this thing on Balang and Jiulang before.

At that time, Gu Sanlang, who had the best relationship with him, once joked that they brothers carrying this thing was like carrying a lantern. When they went to the battlefield in the future, they would be discovered by the enemy at once, and they would have to wrap it up with cloth.

As a result, the two brothers were naturally unhappy.

So Gu Shaoyu suggested that they sew it on the chest of the inner garment, so that it would not be lost and would not be discovered by the enemy.

Could it be that this thing saved his life? Gu Shaoyu was of course trying to think positively at this moment. The jade pendant was here, so Jiulang must have been here anyway. But if he was alive, why didn't he go back home?

Then the most likely reason is that there is no going back.

So, he was either seriously injured and couldn't walk, or he was already dead.

He felt uncomfortable experiencing this feeling of losing and regaining, gaining and losing again, so wouldn't Fourth Aunt be even more miserable?

"Fourth Aunt, this thing is indeed Ninth Brother's, but more than 20 years have passed. You still have to be mentally prepared. He... may not still be alive."

Two lines of tears slid down Fourth Aunt's face. How could she not know that the possibility of her son surviving was very low? But at this moment, even if there was only a slight possibility as small as a hair, she had to find it!

So, he said with gritted teeth.

"I will search for him, even if all I find is a pile of bones. I can't let Xiaojiu's body stay in this wild forest. If he is alive, I will take him back. If he is dead, I will take his body back. No matter what, I will not let him become a wandering ghost here!"
