At this time, there are two options in front of Kangxi's eyes, one is to order to immediately start searching for the whereabouts of the two elder brothers, and the other is to go down the mountain as usual and secretly arrange people to go into the mountain to search and rescue.

If you choose to search and rescue the two elder brothers, the possibility that the crown prince and the fourth master can return safely will definitely increase, but then the matter of the two princes falling into the valley on the way down the mountain will inevitably be rumored, not only will there be gossip in the court, but I am afraid that the people below will also be uneasy, plus those in the south who always want to subvert the court and rebuild the Ming court are secretly blowing, and the consequences are unimaginable.

But if you choose the second way, this time the sacrifice will end peacefully, but the safety of the two princes is much more uncertain, such as the cold in the mountains at night and those beasts that have been hungry for a winter, and the two princes may have been injured when they fell the slide rod, or they may have fallen irreparably because the rescue was not timely.

In the end, how to choose, Kangxi's attitude has become the most critical point, but on the one hand, Kangxi Ye has worked hard for most of his life to stabilize the country, and on the other hand, the prince he personally taught and the fourth son who is quite dependent, it is really difficult for him to choose.

"Your Majesty, please make a decision as soon as possible, there are still many officials waiting to be driven under the mountain!" Ural had already arranged a relatively reasonable excuse for this sudden pause, and let people notify the ministers who visited the sky later, and even arranged people to surround the people who found that the prince had fallen from the mountain, for fear that the news would fly out like wings, but the pause should not be too long, otherwise it would be difficult to guarantee that no one would come up with any side ideas, and finally stepped forward to urge Kangxi.

Kangxi Ye glanced at the steps that the prince and the fourth master had just fallen down with deep meaning, and finally gritted his teeth, and ordered the big guy to go down the mountain first, and after staying at the bottom of the mountain, he arranged for the guards to go into the mountain to search, and prayed in his heart that the two sons could survive this danger.

The team of people and horses set off slowly again, and the sedan chair drivers who carried the sliding pole had already trembled, and the speed at this time was not even a star and a half compared to before, but fortunately, they finally came to the foot of the mountain without wind and waves.

Kangxi Ye sorted out his mood, sent away the people who came to pick up the driver, and arranged for Wulahai to lead people into the mountain to search and rescue, while he looked at a few copies on the table and was distracted.

..............................

It is said that the prince and the fourth master who fell into the valley on the other side had already raised their guard as early as the moment the slide rod fell down, but they were not seriously injured, but in order to control the speed of the fall, their hands kept grabbing the grass roots and vines on the valley slope, making blood marks on their hands.

The temperature in the valley was a little warmer than outside, so that the two people wearing mink coats would not freeze, but the two people who had been tossing and turning all day hungry still shrunk their necks a little sluggishly.

"Fourth, when do you say they will come to us!" The prince rubbed the blood on his hands, touched the boots with some disgust, and said without words.

The fourth master smiled ugly, casually ripped off the sleeves of his robe that had been scratched by dead branches before, wiped the blood stains on his forehead, and looked at the crescent moon in the sky, which was already a little invisible, "Who can say for sure, but I think it won't take much time, after all, we are not lost in the mountains, as long as they follow the traces we rolled down, this should still be very fast."

It's just that this time we went up the mountain to worship the sky, but the two of us had an accident on the way back, I'm afraid that those ministers will have some explanations, and Huang Ama in order to protect us from being criticized, it is estimated that the search and rescue operation will be carried out secretly, and the time it will take will be at least until noon tomorrow. ”

"It's better to think about it thoroughly, if the news of the two of us falling down the mountain on the return journey of the sacrifice to heaven spreads, the two of us will be considered all right!" the prince smiled and came to the fourth master's side, sat on a huge granite rock with the fourth master, and said with some bitterness.

"Okay, second brother, let's stop thinking about uselessness here, let's think about how we can survive tonight, you must know that this is in the mountains, who knows if there are any beasts that don't hibernate!" The fourth master looked at the prince's body a little rickety, his eyes were a little astringent, and he hurriedly changed the topic and said.

Although the prince has been raised in the palace all the year round, he is not as proficient in riding and archery as other brothers, but he still has the blood in his bones, and seeing that his younger brother can cheer up, he looks down on his previous grievances, and he hurriedly got up and patted the grass roots and dust on his body, and looked at the scene in front of him by the moonlight.

This is the hinterland of a valley, and the slopes on the left and right sides are very steep, and if there is no help, it will be difficult to climb up, and it is really dangerous to climb up so rashly when the visibility is not high.

In the quiet night, the valley in front of me is particularly gloomy, without the fairy spirit on the top of the mountain before, but there is a ghostly feeling, and I don't know where the mountain wind blows, making people shiver for a while.

"Second brother, let's make a fire, which can not only reduce the possibility of the beasts attacking, but also warm the lighting, and besides, I have a lot of jerky stuffed in my purse, let's also have a barbecue in the wild!" The fourth master took out the fire fold from his sleeve and lit it, and after scanning it hard, he said bitterly.

The prince nodded slightly, and scolded with a smile, "Fourth, the second brother looked at you in the past, it was also a serious look, how can you still have the habit of stuffing food into your body, but who is hungry for you!"

As he spoke, the prince had already started to tear down a few bushes of dry grass next to him, and made a pile of dead branches that rolled down from the mountain next to him, and looked back at the fourth master, it seemed that he wanted to make fun of the cold fourth brother in the past.

The fourth master climbed a big tree next to him quickly, broke off the dead branches one by one, looked at the pile that was almost one meter square below, and estimated that he could hold on until dawn, so he climbed down the trunk in three steps and two steps, and squatted on the leeward position to light a fire.

The sound of the burning branches of Gaba Gaba brought a trace of warmth, and the fourth master untied two small sachets stuffed with dried meat from his waist and threw them to the prince, and then explained with a smile: "Guerjia is always worried about my stomach, plus I was waiting in the palace some time ago, and she was hungry and full, so she got a few of these small sachets and put some snacks or something."

This has come and gone, Su Peisheng is used to this, and he prepared some for me when he came out this time, but it can be regarded as fulfilling us!"

As he spoke, the fourth master took two branches from the tree next to him, and roasted them with the dried meat, and a burst of fragrance wafted out, causing the two people who were already hungry to immediately lose the mood to speak.

Although a few sachets are stuffed full, there are not many in the end, and together they are only more than a pound of things, which is not enough for the two adult men to eat, but they have finally fooled the hunger, and a few granite stones next to the fire are also baked hot, like the kang head in the northeast, and the two brothers also untied the big coat on their bodies and draped them on their bodies, so they lay on the stones with their clothes, gossiping.

I thought it was a difficult night, but it wasn't hard, and the two of them talked about the gossip in the house, such as the little eunuch and the little palace maid in the house had a case to look at, such as that Gege came up with a new way to compete for favor.

However, most of the more topics revolve around the Guerjia clan, not only the Erfu surname Guarjia, but the crown princess also has the surname Guarjia.

The two brothers finally came to a very strange conclusion, that is, the girls of the Guerga clan seemed to be a little different, such as Erfu's naivety and naivety, such as the Guerjia clan's virtuous generosity and indisputability.

"Could it be that this girl from the Guerjia clan is really like this?" The fourth master never believed in family inheritance, but at this time, after listening to the prince talking about the daily actions of the crown princess, he got up and said with a smile.

The prince nodded thoughtfully, and said: "Look at the appearance of the old thirteen people who are worried about Fang Fujin on weekdays, I am afraid that this matter is true, and besides, this girl from the Guerjia clan is really worthy of people's pity." ”

"But the backyard of this master has become the world of the Guerjia clan, I'm afraid it's not right!" said the fourth master with some concern.

In fact, the fourth master is not a very feminine person, and he wants to be a savior more for Erfu, and after getting along, he feels that Erfu is really very simple, and he wants to protect this delicate flower everywhere.

The prince stretched out his hand and pointed at the fourth master in the air, and said with a smile: "You just think too much, is it possible that you are still afraid that a little girl will not succeed, don't say that this mansion is not the head of the Guerjia clan, even if it is true, so what, is it possible that you can't even control a little girl!"

"It's really a bit uncontrollable!" the fourth master shrugged helplessly and said loudly.

"Tell me about the second brother, why can't you control it!" The prince was also very surprised that the fourth child, who had always controlled the overall situation, could say such a thing, and asked with a smile.

The fourth master pinched his eyebrows helplessly, leaned over and roasted the fire, "This girl is a little different from ordinary ladies, saying that she is unruly, she doesn't seem to have made any big mistakes, saying that she is not arguing and not obvious, but she always looks at us pitifully, saying that she feels sorry for the minions under her hands, and she always causes the people around her to be punished."

I remember that when she first entered the house, she could even be swallowed by someone, whether it was a girl, she didn't even ask someone to ask about it, she directly took out the silver from the private room and asked the next person to buy it outside, which was also a loss because it was not known, otherwise I would lose my face.

But this girl didn't think she was wrong, and she talked to me about it loudly, saying that the people in the house did something wrong, but the master didn't do it, tell me what kind of thing it is!"

The fourth master seemed to be complaining, but the corners of his mouth were raised, but it revealed the fact that this master had long been tempted by Xiao Nizi, and the prince made a big roll of his eyes helplessly, turned over and fell asleep, not wanting to deal with this stupid roe deer who was immersed in love.

If there are modern people by the side of the fourth master at this time, they will definitely roar angrily: Show affection and die quickly.

A trace of fish belly white has appeared in the sky, the morning light sprinkled the entire valley, and a trace of clouds and mist can gradually be seen in the distance, and the bare canopy is hung with crystal clear crystals, so that last night's gloomy valley revealed the true face of Lushan.

The fourth master turned over and jumped up, moved his muscles and bones, and listened to the movement outside.

"Kiln ......"

There was a faint sound in the valley, and the prince, who was originally lying on the stone and pretending to sleep, got up breathlessly, looking at the shadow that seemed to be a figure but not a figure, and swallowed his saliva dryly, "Fourth, did you say that the emperor sent him to find us!"

"I think it's a little possible!" the fourth master pulled the crumpled robe on his body, put it back on the big coat next to him, and said softly.

........................

Wulahai has been leading people to drill in the mountains for half the night, and he is afraid of being discovered by the people below the mountain, so he has not dared to burn the torches, and he has not dared to shout loudly to the two masters, so he can only sneak out inch by inch to the place where the two masters may be.

And the fire that warmed the fourth master and the prince should have been a good identification, but because it was in a low-lying area, it was not obvious from the outside, and it was even said that some could not be seen, plus the place where the fourth master and the prince fell, it was really lush vegetation, and most of them were evergreen tree species, and they couldn't see the situation below at all.

Wulahai was even a little desperate, such a large mountain, although there were marks left by his brother, which determined the fall point of the fourth master and the crown prince, but it was really difficult to search, looking at the sun that had climbed out of the mountain in the distance, and even thought of his unlucky fate.

But at such a time, a sharp-eyed guard actually saw the green smoke of the fire that was about to be extinguished, and another guard found the clothes that belonged to the apricot yellow python robe on the prince's body next to him, pointing out the direction of the two masters for the search and rescue of Wulahai.

Speaking of which, I found the direction, but the way down was not easy to walk, and the guards were all strong men in armor, although they were good at fighting, but to go down the steep slope, the difficulty was no less than that of rock climbing, so I had to find another path down.

The hard work paid off, and a thorny path that I didn't know what era I was in appeared in the eyes of a guard who grew up in the white mountains and black waters, and this guard who was not good at fighting against people finally found the job he was good at, that is, crossing the dense forest.

Wulahai got out of the path like this, and saw two princes who were a little wolf, but extremely spiritual and kind, and rolled to the feet of the two masters, and had a feeling of seeing the savior, kneeling on the ground and saying "Immortal Heaven bless".

"Get up quickly, Lord Wulahai, the emperor is good!" After experiencing the joy of being saved, the prince quickly calmed down, smiled and watched Wulahai roll to himself excitedly, bent down to help this Wulahai who had walked in the mountains for most of the night, and asked softly.

"The emperor is all right, the emperor is worried about the two masters, and specially asked the slaves to lead people to find them, but the slaves are not angry, and only then did they find the two masters, and let the two masters suffer!" Wulahai had a feeling of crying, standing in front of the prince, bowing his head like a child who had caused trouble. R1152
