Chapter 1709 I Don't Understand

nters. Upon learning she was from Ling Shui Village, he inquired about her through his connections. When he discovered she had been sold to a cripple, he felt a pang of sympathy.But he was also somewh...Staring at the bloodstains on the fallen leaves in silence for a long time, An Xue Tang finally forced herself to calm down, suppressing the worry in her heart.

Continue following the big and small Mao deeper into the mountains.

But actually, after walking for a short while, Damao and Xiaomo pointed to a place and said, "Your Highness, the Northern Border King bade farewell to us brothers here that day."

"At that, Big Mao pointed in a direction and added, “After our brotherly persuasion failed to work, the King of Beijang led us into a cave while he walked away over there."

“Actually, three hours after the King of the North Frontier left, my brother and I were also afraid that he might be injured and encounter ferocious beasts in the mountains. We were worried about his safety and searched for an hour nearby, but we couldn't find him.”

This is all they knew about it.

They truly knew nothing about what was to come.

No matter how much the people in front of them and the Northern Border Princess questioned them, they could no longer think of any details to say.

An Xuetang didn't make things difficult for the two of them at this time. After all, it was these two who saved Mo Yunjing in the beginning.

As her benefactor, she wouldn't make things difficult for them. So she followed their directions and looked in the direction they were pointing. After a long silence, An Xuetang...

He then immediately took out his pouch and emptied some silver into the hands of the two brothers.

"Rest assured, the King of Beijang will keep his promises. Someone will be here soon to meet you."

"For now, you can stay in the village. When the rescuers arrive, they will take you away. Use this silver for your needs."

"No need, no need, Your Highness. You needn't give the little one any silver. In fact, King Beijang pawned his jade pendant, and all the money went to the little one. The little one still has some silver on hand."

Da Mao and Xiao Mao, the two brothers, were not greedy people. After taking the jade pendant to a pawnshop, they used the silver to buy millet. Later, they bought some medicine for the King of Beijang, but they still had some left over.

The remaining silver would be enough for the two brothers to use for a long time, so they couldn't continue to accept the money the princess offered at this moment.

But An Xuetang didn't care about that, she was anxious to follow this road to find Mo Yunjing.

So, at this moment, simply shove the silver into their hands and turn to one of Qingyun Pavilion's men, "Take them down the mountain first, and then wait in the thatched hut for your pavilion master. If he returns, someone needs to greet him."

The people of Qingyunge knew what she meant by that, and immediately bowed. "Yes, we understand."

After the subordinate from Qingyun Pavilion took Damo and Xiaomo, the brothers, down the mountain, An Xuetang and Fengming divided their people into four groups.

Beginning to search bit by bit, An Xue Tang deliberately instructed everyone to carefully observe the fallen leaves on the ground.

Because Mo Yunjing was injured, he left quite a few bloodstains on the short road from the mountain to here.

So no matter which way he goes, as long as he looks carefully for traces on the fallen leaves, he should be able to find a clue.

Feng Ming and An Xue Tang teamed up, following the directions indicated by Da Mao and Xiao Mao, inching closer to their destination.

As expected, An Xuetang really found some bloodstains on the fallen leaves. Seeing these bloodstains, An Xuetang's heart became increasingly tight, and her face grew even more worried.

Looking at these bloodstains, one can only imagine how serious Mo Yunjing's wounds must be.

But she couldn't figure it out, if he was already so badly hurt, why would he leave

As the arrivals weren't enemies but rather subordinates of the Qingyun Pavilion, why would he leave

No matter how much An Xuetang thought about it, she couldn't figure out what was going on. When they found some bloodstains, she and Fengming followed the trail forward.

As expected, after a careful search for an hour, she and Feng Ming discovered a cave not far away.

Staring at the cave entrance in the distance, An Xuetang's eyes lit up. Without a word, she lifted her foot and ran towards it.

Feng Ming didn't even have time to stop, so she used her light kung fu to rush into the cave ahead of him.

After all, no one knew what was inside the cave and if it could be dangerous to her, so Feng Ming had to protect her.

When Feng Ming rushed into the cave, looking at the empty surroundings and the pile of burnt firewood on the ground, his eyes became even more unfathomable.

Around this pile of firewood, there were clearly two sets of footprints. Staring at the footprints on the ground for a moment, his gaze grew deeper and deeper, who knows what he was thinking.

Before An Xuetang walked in, he had regained his composure and quickly took a few steps forward, personally destroying the footprints on the ground.

He walked around the fire, wiping away the clear footprints of two people and leaving only his own tracks.

When An Xuetang walked in, she looked at the scorched marks on the ground and then at the empty surroundings.

She suddenly thought of something, her face lit up with excitement. She turned around and grabbed Fengming's arm with both hands, "Brother, they must have appeared here, Ajing must have appeared here."

"It's impossible for villagers from around here to be spending the night here. Even if the villagers dared to enter the mountains, at most they would stay in the kind of cave where Da Mao and Xiao Mao live."

"In such a deep mountain, if it were not for those with high martial arts skills, ordinary people would not dare to spend the night here. Therefore...it must be Ajing, elder brother, he must have lived here."

Feng Ming knew what she meant and believed that Mo Yun Jing must have been staying in this cave these two days.

And, if he was right, the footprints by the fire from a while ago belonged to two people: one of them was Mo Yunjing's, and the other must have been Han Yun's.

It seems his guess was right, Mo Yunjing was deliberately avoiding An Xuetang. He would rather see Han Yun than An Xuetang.

Once Mo Yunjing truly harbored such thoughts, no matter how his family's Ah Tang searched for him today, or whether they had been keeping watch here these past few days, he would be nowhere to be seen.

Thinking of this, Feng Ming clenched his fists, his veins bulging, and cursed the damned Mo Yun Jing in his heart.

He didn't know what An Xuetang had endured along the way, nor did he know how hard everyone had worked to find him these past few days.

Although he was right here, he deliberately hid himself away.

Mo Yun Jing, you are such a coward.

Feng Ming hated iron for not being steel, gritting her teeth silently and cursing under her breath.

But looking at his sister's eager gaze right now, he had to swallow down his discontent.

Quickly speaking up to comfort, "I know, elder brother knows."

At this, Feng Ming thoughtfully scanned the cave, then said, "Since he was able to hide here for two days and even cook a fire, it shows that Mo Yunjing is unharmed. You shouldn't worry so much."

"Yet, An Xue Tang frowned and shook her head, "Big brother, I don't understand. I don't understand why he did that Why would he hide"n front of you, trying to turn you against him, wanting you to help her. Don't fall for her trap!""My lady, you can't be deceived! If the Northern Frontier Princess gets her way, what credit will you...
