Camp Prince.

Han Mo opened the prince's tent and looked inside, it was empty, the prince was really not among them, his brows furrowed, followed by Dou Shan, Xiao Mu, Xue Shao and other leopard camp generals.

"Today, Yang Yonghui is on duty." Xiao Mu said in a low voice: "According to the guards here, two hours ago, the prince suddenly came out of the camp with a very good complexion, saying that he was going out to breathe. At that time, Yang Yonghui led more than ten horsemen and accompanied the prince out of the camp. Now, two hours have passed, but the prince has not returned! ”

"Can you send someone to look around?" Han Mo's face was gloomy.

Xiao Mu nodded and said: "The last general got the news half an hour ago, and immediately came here, seeing that the prince was still violating, so he sent someone to report to the lord, and also sent cavalry to look around, until now, two groups of people came back to report, and no trace of His Royal Highness the prince was found!" ”

Han Mo clenched his fists and said coldly, "What does Yang Yonghui want to do?" Why didn't he send someone to report to me as soon as possible? I have instructed that if the prince wants to leave the camp, he must be personally protected by me, and he Yang Yonghui is deaf? ”

Dou Shan frowned, and finally said: "My lord, it may be that the situation was very urgent at that time, and Yang Yonghui couldn't disobey the prince's orders, so he left in a hurry." ”

Han Mo still said coldly: "He didn't know how to send someone to inform me at the first time?" It was almost two hours before I got the news ......! His fists clenched, and a cold light twinkled in his eyes.

If something happens to the prince, Han Mo's guilt will be greater.

"Don't worry, adults." Xue Shao comforted on the side: "Your Highness may just be patrolling the camp around, there are all our people here, there should be no problem." ”

Han Mo pondered for a moment and asked, "Where is the great general who can be reported?" ”

"I haven't reported it yet." Dou Shan said: "Just wait for the adults to decide." If the prince just went out for a walk and came back soon, but he had to report to the general, it would be a bit of a fuss. But now that two hours have passed, the prince has not returned, and there is no trace of him, should he report to the general, and ask the lord to decide! ”

Han Mo pondered for a moment, and finally said: "The prince's status is noble, if he patrols the camp, the officers and soldiers in the camp will inevitably be unusual. Xiao Mu, you lead a hundred horsemen to the east, Dou Shan, you lead a hundred horsemen to the north, Xue Shao, you lead a hundred horsemen to the south, and I will lead a hundred horsemen to the east to find it. Along the road, you must not inquire about the officers and men of the battalions, but only observe carefully, and if you find fifty miles of land and have not seen the prince, you should return to the camp and wait. His expression was indifferent: "This matter, there must be no leakage!" ”

"Yes!" The generals received orders and prepared quickly.

……

Han Mo led a hundred cavalry to the east, and on the way, he also ordered his subordinates to carefully observe the movements of the places along the way, but there was no news of the prince, and at this time the sky had already darkened, and the snow, which had become smaller, was now bigger again.

"My lord, I've been walking for more than fifty miles!" Han Li, who followed by his side, reminded: "There seems to be no camp stationed on the road ahead, it is very empty, and it is getting late, do we still want to move forward?" ”

Han Mo looked ahead, in the darkness, there was an open space in front of him, there was an extremely dense forest, the area seemed to be not small, and the dry and bare trunks pierced the sky like countless javelins, dense.

Han Mo pondered for a moment and did not speak immediately.

If it was just an ordinary inspection or going out to breathe, it would be impossible for the prince to stay more than fifty miles away from the camp, and in this heavy snow, even if he rode a high-quality horse, it would take a long time to travel fifty miles.

Moreover, this place is empty and uninhabited, located at the border, such a place is the most dangerous, the prince is not a stupid person, for his own safety, it is impossible to rush to such a place.

Perhaps the crown prince is not coming in this direction at all.

He raised his hand and was about to wave his hand back, when he heard a cavalryman shout, "My lord, over there...... Someone seems to have it! ”

Hearing this, Han Mo turned his head and saw a cavalryman pointing in front of him and making a discovery.

Han Mo frowned, looked in the direction he was pointing, and saw that on the snowy land in front of him, there seemed to be a real movement, but at this time, the world was dim, and it was quite vague, and he couldn't see the specific situation clearly.

Next to him, Han Li had already said, "My lord, my subordinates go over and take a look!" ”

Han Mo thought for a while, nodded and said, "Be careful, it's not the enemy's trick!" ”

Han Li nodded, waved his hand, several cavalry followed, galloped forward, and rode closer, and saw a person lying on the ground, covered with a layer of snow, this person was still moving in the snow before, but at this time he was already motionless.

Han Li turned over and dismounted, drew his saber, and stepped forward cautiously, with an eye in his heart, if the other party sneaked attacked, he would be able to retreat in an instant.

Han Mo led a group of cavalry, looking at it from a distance, the hands of the cavalry were pressed on the hilt of the sword, and they looked over there with cold eyes.

Han Li leaned over and asked, "Who are you?" ”

The man was motionless, but he faintly made a "hmm" sound, which seemed to be extremely painful, Han Li frowned, reached out his knife, and gently lifted the snow from the person's body, which actually showed his armor, but at this time, he also saw clearly that this person was actually hit by several arrows, and his back entered, penetrating the body, leaving only a section of the tail of the arrow, which was covered by snow, and the tail of the arrow was not revealed.

Han Li frowned, stared at the armor carefully, and then was taken aback, and said in a lost voice: "This ...... This is Yang Shenling! ”

When the cavalry around heard this, they dismounted one after another and came forward, Han Li stepped forward quickly, hugged the man, turned over, and looked at the face, it was indeed Yang Yonghui, but at this time, Yang Yonghui's eyes were closed, his teeth were tight, his face was extremely pale, there was no trace of blood, just a weak breath between his noses.

"Yang Shenling!" Han Li called out softly, "You...... What's wrong with you? ”

Seeing the situation, Han Mo looked cold, urged the horse to step forward, and the cavalry behind him followed, and when he got to the side, Han Mo turned over and dismounted, Han Li raised his head and said, "My lord, is it...... It's Yang Shenling! ”

Han Mo frowned, clenched his hands into fists, stepped forward, and said in a low voice: "Yang Yonghui, where is the prince?" ”

"My lord, he is seriously injured, and if he doesn't heal it, his life is in danger!" Han Li said.

Yang Yonghui tried his best to open his eyes, tried to raise his hand, and pointed a finger to Lin Zi not far ahead, and his voice was weak: "Prince...... Prince......! ”

"Leave two brethren to take care of him." Han Mo quickly got on his horse and pulled out his saber: "The others come with me!" ”

He urged his horse forward, and the cavalry behind him fanned apart, and the hundred horsemen rushed towards the forest like wolves, their hooves on the snow, splashing with snowflakes.

This forest is really wide, and when you go to the edge of the forest, the forest is extremely dark, and the trunks of the spears are idle, cold and strange. Han Mo stopped his horse at the edge of the forest, and the well-trained royal forest cavalry behind him also reined in their horses at the same time, and the horses neighed, outside this empty forest, it was very loud and complicated.

Han Mo made a gesture, holding the reins of the horse in his left hand and holding the saber in his right hand, urging the horse to slowly enter the forest, Han Li followed closely by Han Mo's side, his eyes sharp, paying attention to the movements around him.

A group of cavalry fanned into the forest, and for a while silently, like a hundred ghosts walking at night, advanced forward in the forest.

"Watch the snow!" Han Mo commanded to the people around him.

After walking for a while, he reached the depths of the forest, and suddenly heard someone shouting not far away: "My lord, here is a discovery!" Then he heard, "Here are dead horses!" ”

Han Mo urged the horse over, only to see that more than a dozen cavalry over there surrounded one place, and the corpse of the horse was indeed displayed on the ground, the horse was large, although there was a lot of snow on the corpse, but it could not completely cover the body of the horse.

But the horse, which everyone recognized, was the horse of the Royal Foresters, and the saddle of the horse had the sign of a horse in the Leopard Surge Camp on it.

Han Mo's pupils contracted, and he couldn't help but shudder.

There is no doubt that the crown prince and his guards were ambushed here.

"My lord, there's a corpse here!" Not far away, there was another shout.

Before Han Mo passed, a voice came from the other side: "My lord, there are also here, it's our brother!" ”

Han Mo closed his eyes, was silent for a moment, and finally said, "Search for the corpse and gather it." ”

The soldiers immediately dispersed, looking for the corpses in the forest, and it did not take too long, the corpses of more than a dozen guards who followed the prince were all found, and all of them were killed by bows and arrows, these corpses did not draw their knives, and they were obviously shot by the enemy before they could react.

Not only the cavalry guards, but even the horses they sat on were shot to the vital point, some died on the spot, and some of the horses were obviously shot and galloped for some distance before falling to the ground and dying.

"My lord, it's been more than an hour since they died." A soldier who had probed the corpse said: "The enemy is afraid that he will evacuate an hour ago. ”

Han Li also frowned: "The heavy snow covered the footprints, and I didn't know which direction they were evacuating from. ”

Han Mo's face was cold, and he said after a long time, "Didn't you find the prince?" ”

His heart was full of fear, he was afraid that he would hear his subordinates report that the prince's body had been found, and if the prince had lost this time, there was no doubt that not only would his career end, but he might even affect his own family.

He is the chief guard of the prince on this trip, responsible for the protection of the prince, if the prince has a mistake, he is the first to blame.

But he had a faint feeling in his heart that things would never be as simple as they showed, although for a while he couldn't tell what the situation was, but he felt that the disappearance of the prince this time was obviously related to various strange events in Beijing.

He felt as if he was in a game.

He is not afraid of the consequences, but what he fears is that he doesn't know anything about this situation, and he can't figure it out at all, and the unknown will always make people feel inexplicably afraid.

Han Mo is not a stupid person, but even if he knows some of the signs that are revealed, he can't let his knowledge form a string, he knows that what he knows is what the other party is not afraid of, what he knows is nothing more than the tip of the iceberg, and before this iceberg is completely revealed, he can't get a glimpse of the whole picture at all.
