Chapter 263: Red Tassel
Shen Qiqi stared down at the clear stream, what crossed her ankles looked like a swimming fish, she had a playful heart, if the big fish could still be caught and roasted to eat, this big fish was dark red, and swam towards Shen Qiqi with the stream, Shen Qiqi turned around and ran after the big fish, Qi Zhao observed the environment everywhere on the shore, as long as Shen Qiqi did not go out of sight, he would not pay attention.
Shen Qiqi followed the dark red fish for a few feet away, the fish did not swim fast, she quickly caught up, put her hand into the water, held the dark red fish with both hands, she was so happy that she grabbed it, just thinking that the fish would struggle in her hands, but her hands were overforced, and the fish she pinched was flattened in her hands.
"Oops. Shen Qiqi felt a pity, and when he looked at it, what he was holding was not a fish, but a dark red thing, made of red thick threads, made into the shape of a fish.
"How can there be such a thing here?" Shen Qiqi threw this strange fish to Qi Zhao, Qi Zhao caught it, looked at it a few times, and walked towards Shen Qiqi.
"This is not a fish, it's a red tassel on a soldier's helmet. Qi Zhao felt strange, looking around, this is a low place in a valley, surrounded by streams, there are no people living here, why are there red tassels?
"How can there be this?" Shen Qiqi got up from the stream and walked to Qi Zhao's side, she took the red tassel again, put it in front of her eyes and looked around, the mountain peak here is extremely high, all uninhabited, she turned to look at the source of the water, and after thinking about it, she took the red tassel and walked back to Bai Hua.
Bai Hua was watching his subordinates slaughter the poisoned horses, and then bury them, and when he saw Shen Qiqi walking to his side, he thought that Shen Qiqi felt uncomfortable when he heard the sorrow of the horse, and said casually: "It'll be fine soon, it won't take too long, wait a little longer." ”
Shen Qiqi was a little surprised by Bai Hua's attitude towards herself, seemingly casual but a little spoiled, Bai Hua even deliberately turned her body to block her sight, without having to face the bloody scene by herself, Shen Qiqi's heart was just strange for a short time, she held the red tassel in her hand in front of Bai Hua's eyes, Bai Hua took the red tassel from Shen Qiqi's hand, and her brows were immediately locked together.
"How can you have this? This is the unique red tassel on the helmet of the Tianyue soldiers, made by a special process, it will not fade easily and will not be easily disconnected, where did you get this?" Bai Hua's words confirmed Qi Zhao's conjecture, Shen Qiqi pointed to the stream, Bai Hua pushed Shen Qiqi away slightly, and walked quickly to the side of the stream, he glanced up and down the stream, except for the clear stream water, the small fish swimming, and did not see the red tassel in his hand again.
"Is there a soldier here?" Shen Qiqi followed, she shook her head and vetoed Bai Hua's actions, she looked at it several times, but she didn't find the same red tassel again, and Bai Hua wouldn't see it.
"The stream flows down from the mountain, could it be that there are our soldiers of Tianyue on the mountain, but how can the soldiers of Tianyue be here?" Bai Hua's fingers were twisting the red tassels, and he was sure that it was the red tassels on the soldiers' helmets, and the number was not much, it should be the number of soldiers' helmets.
Bai Hua immediately ordered the attendants who were watching from the side to observe whether there were similar red tassels, everyone had been looking around for a long time and did not find similar red tassels, Shen Qiqi and Qi Zhao were also looking nearby, the grass was all over the grass, and they still couldn't find similar red tassels, Bai Hua was deflated, sat on the ground, and stared at the red tassels in his hand in a daze.
"The water flows down from the mountains - >>
Come, could it be on the mountain?" Shen Qiqi raised his eyes and looked at the top of the mountain, the mountain was covered with dense trees, and he couldn't see the edge at a glance, the trees were very high, but there were few trees at the bottom of the valley where they were located, and the streams were paved with pebbles on both sides, where would the red tassels come from?
Bai Hua also looked at the top of the mountain, and he was puzzled, and he was a little more worried about his father, the red tassel appeared in the stream, whether the person wearing the red tassel died, the red tassel fell off, or it was intentional, Bai Hua's brows were locked deeper.
Shen Qiqi didn't see Bai Hua's contemplation, she still raised her eyes and looked around, Qi Zhao was a thief, his eyes were sharper than ordinary people, and he felt more sensitive than ordinary people, he saw a flying bird on the mountainside, with a little thing tied to its claws, it seemed to be the red tassel they were holding in their hands, Shen Qiqi was anxious.
"Quick, your movements are fast, go follow that bird!Take that thing down!" Shen Qiqi pushed Qi Zhao, Qi Zhao had already observed that the trees not far away were very tall, the birds were not very large, and they were not very high, if they could jump between the trees, they might be able to catch the bird, he looked at the hovering bird, and his heart was full of fighting spirit, his name as a thief did not come from fooling around in the rivers and lakes, when he entered the palace for a long time, he wanted to see if his skills were lagging behind.
"Wait, Miss, I'll go back and give you bird soup to drink." ”
Qi Zhao's figure disappeared from Shen Qiqi's side, chasing the bird, Shen Qiqi watched Qi Zhao's figure jump away in the forest, she folded her hands, and secretly prayed that Qi Zhao would come back quickly, if that was also a red tassel, maybe she could find out Bai Yuansu's whereabouts.
Bai Hua continued to order the attendants to expand the search area, he also heard the words of Shen Qiqi and Qi Zhao, he didn't want to stop Qi Zhao, knowing that he was not qualified, and he also wanted to know whether the bird's claws were red tassels.
The attendant searched the surroundings for two hours, almost as far as the mountainside, but still found nothing.
"Don't look for it, the birds fly in the sky and are hard to find, go along the stream, the stream has two directions, let's look for it separately, divide it into three groups, one group along the east stream, the other group along the west stream, I will go up the mountain from the south to look for it, and finally meet in the north. Bai Hua was worried about his father, and when he saw that he couldn't find anything around, he changed his strategy.
Shen Qiqi saw that he had allocated manpower, and the attendants who had dealt with the dead horses were also divided, and then they left, leaving only Shen Qiqi and Bai Hua. Bai Hua looked at Shen Qiqi, took off his sword, and stuffed it into Shen Qiqi's hand.
"You just wait here, if there is something, you will set off fireworks, I will come back immediately, Qi Zhao will chase the bird, it will not be very far, it should come back soon, and the sword will be used for self-defense." ”
"Ah!!" Shen Qiqi's cry was enough to pierce the eardrums and reach the sky, grabbing Bai Hua's arm and screaming vigorously.
Bai Hua was very calm, pulled out the long sword from Shen Qiqi's hand, and swung the long sword a few times at the snake in the water, and the snake rolling on the ground broke into three pieces and rolled on the ground.
"It's just a water snake, don't worry. Bai Hua comforted Shen Qiqi, Shen Qiqi was so frightened that his eyes were closed, and he grabbed Bai Hua's arm tightly, Bai Hua could smell the faint fragrance emanating from Shen Qiqi's body, and there was a trace of joy in his heart, so he didn't push Shen Qiqi away.
"Are you dead?" Shen Qiqi closed his eyes, and his voice trembled.
