C143 In the Southeast Direction(2)

This place is 30 or 40 miles away from the stronghold. Furthermore, based on Lu Che's current estimation, the buildings in the southeast direction... There were more than thirty to forty miles left. A straight line might be enough, but if he wanted to climb up there, he would need more than that distance.

Since when was there another place within a hundred miles? He actually didn't know, and it was even at the back of his mountain stronghold. Lu Che began to doubt whether his ability had deteriorated or not. Then how could he take on such a big responsibility in the future? Thus, he ordered, "The few of you, stay here and continue searching. I will first return to report to His Highness..." The people he brought along were not many, and they were all scattered. When he returned, bring more people, no matter what kind of demons and devils were in the southeast direction. He had to go and take a look.

Lu Che brought a few people with him and rushed towards the village. After a night of not sleeping and the weather was cold, the pace of the return trip was much slower. From beginning to end, Lu Che did not blame Mu Haiyang, because he was the one who made Mu Haiyang lose this time. Even if it was Mu Haiyang's fault, he still looked for her for the whole night without any regrets. This was the responsibility of a man. At least this was enough to become Lyi Xuanzhi's deputy general.

Before he took a few steps, he heard someone shout, "Chief -"

Lu Che came back again and stepped forward quickly. That person even shouted in a hurry, "Chief - we found this just now." That person handed the wooden hairpin in his hand to Lu Che. Lu Che observed it carefully and remembered that it was Mu Haiyang's hairpin. Because she did not like to dress up, Lu Che paid extra attention to her dressing. Only when he saw the wooden hairpin on top of her head would he have a deep impression. He surveyed his surroundings and found a puncture mark on a tree. The wooden hairpin that the person had picked up was also here. It was only one or two miles away from the tree earlier. What was even more shocking was that this place was heading southeast. Could Mu Haiyang have been robbed into the building that stood on the mountainside?

Lu Che did not dare to think about it anymore. He still felt some lingering fear. If the person hanging on the tree was Mu Haiyang, then was she still alive? Wherever he looked, he could see the blood stains on the ground. Only then did she suddenly regain her senses and say, "The few of you stand guard here..." When her voice fell, regardless of the cold, she returned to the mountain stronghold without stopping.

The morning frost was everywhere. It was a stretch of silvery white, as if he had stepped into an immortal realm. However, there were only a few withered leaves left from the surrounding old trees. Wherever they stepped, a deep footprint was left behind. It also disturbed the frost that had formed on it. If they had found this place last night, they might have been able to find Mu Haiyang. Perhaps she would not have been beaten so much and would not have disappeared now.

The sun had just risen and Lu Che had just returned to the stronghold. Tail hurriedly poured him a cup of hot tea to warm his body. Because when he returned, there were some water droplets on his body and hair. At the same time, he also served a cup of hot tea to the few people who came back. He asked sincerely, "Chief, have you found it?"

Lu Che looked at his tail and shook his head. He saw his tail lowering its head and not saying anything.

Lyi Xuanzhi and Yue Niansheng came out of the inner hall and saw Lu Che coming back alone. Lu Che frowned again. Lu Che quickly knelt down and said, "Lu Che is useless, please punish him." Yue Niansheng stood by the side and did not know what mistake Lu Che had made. He still maintained his usual smiling face and looked at Lu Che. Of course, he knew better than Lyi Xuanzhi that Lu Che was his deputy general. Even he knew better than Lyi Xuanzhi how Lu Che became the leader of a village.

"Where is she?"

"We didn't find her!" Lu Che lowered his head and answered. He took out the wooden hairpin from his bosom. He handed it over to Lyi Xuanzhi. This action was unable to escape Yue Niansheng's eyes. He only needed a glance to recognize that it was Mu Haiyang's thing. "She? Does it mean Mu Haiyang?" He looked at Lu Che who was on the ground and asked.

He nodded slightly.

After Mu Haiyang disappeared for the whole night, Yue Niansheng found out. Did he take her too lightly?

"What's going on?" Yue Niansheng stopped smiling and asked everyone who knew what was going on. "Where is Mu Haiyang?" He had only caught one spy. Why was she gone?

Lu Che did not answer, and Lyi Xuanzhi could not answer.

In the current situation, the troops stationed outside the stronghold were still unable to solve the matter of Mu Haiyang. They had started to seek revenge for Mu Haiyang, and now they were going to find her.

"Your Highness, this thing was found thirty miles away from the back mountain in the southeast direction..." Lu Che said.

"What is that place?" Lyi Xuanzhi asked.

Lu Che shook his head, indicating that he did not know. He continued, "About sixty miles to the southeast of this place, a place suddenly appeared on the mountainside. I wonder if Imperial Consort went there." Lu Che did not dare to tell Lyi Xuanzhi about the traces on the tree and the blood that was on the ground. Previously, Mu Haiyang faked her death and almost buried the entire mountain village with her. Now that he had been hung and beaten up, would the whole world be buried with her? Furthermore, it was not certain if Mu Haiyang was hung and beaten up, or if Mu Haiyang hung and beat up others. This was also possible?

"Go! Gather the troops. Gather thirty miles to the southeast of the back mountain. This king will go first. ..." Lyi Xuanzhi's first reaction was that Mu Haiyang had gone there.

Lu Che hurriedly gathered his troops. Yue Niansheng and Lyi Xuanzhi were the first to gather information.

When they arrived at the back of the mountain, Yue Niansheng suddenly laughed out loud.
