The one-eyed dragon was also bewildered. He turned his head and looked out at the vast snowfield, asking curiously, "What was that kid holding just now?"
"It looked like... it looked like a token!" his subordinate replied.
"Nonsense, don't you think I know it's a token?" the one-eyed dragon cursed angrily. "It's just that in this pitch-black night, I couldn't see what was written on the token!"
"Sir, I've got a clear look!" The subordinate brushed the snow off his dog-skin hat and gestured with his hand. "It looks like the words 'Pingyang Hou'!"
"Pingyang Hou?" The one-eyed dragon's face froze, his expression full of confusion.
What was Pingyang Hou doing in this godforsaken place?
"Don't just stand there, hurry up, hurry up, let's try to reach the military camp by noon tomorrow..." The one-eyed dragon urged everyone to continue on their way.
Yun Erman and Yun Sanman walked forward silently, neither of them speaking.
As dawn approached, Yun Sanman took advantage of a moment to relieve himself and pulled Erman over, whispering, "Second Brother, the person who rode the horse last night, doesn't he look familiar to me!"
Yun Erman was stunned for a moment, then took a while to react, "Could it be someone we know?"
In this desolate wilderness, if they could meet someone they knew, could they be rescued...
"I think it looks like our Fourth Brother!" Yun Sanman's expression was very serious.
Upon hearing this, Yun Erman's eyes widened. "What did you say? Fourth... Fourth Brother?"
This was a joke. If he remembered correctly, after Fourth Man left Dashui Village, he went directly to the capital. It was impossible for him to come to the Northern Frontier...
Yun Sanman grunted, "I wouldn't be wrong about Fourth Brother's loud voice and way of speaking!"
"Haha, that's great! Our Fourth Brother is very capable. As long as we can find him, he'll definitely be able to send us back to Dashui Village!" Yun Erman chuckled foolishly.
He hadn't been this happy since he was captured...
When things are at their worst, good luck will naturally come.
He felt that it was time for him and Third Brother to turn their luck around.
Yun Sanman sighed, "Fourth Brother coming here must have some purpose. We shouldn't disturb him!"
From the beginning, he felt that Fourth Brother's identity was not simple. He must be a capable subordinate under some noble in the capital.
Fourth Brother had an important mission, so how could he bother him!
Besides, Fourth Brother had ridden so far at full speed, they wouldn't be able to find him even if they wanted to...
"Look at what you're saying, Fourth Brother is our own brother!" Yun Erman took out the remaining half of the steamed bun from his embrace and handed it to Yun Sanman. "If he doesn't care about us when it matters, then we're truly finished!"
Yun Sanman took a couple of bites of the steamed bun and said nothing.
They would take it one step at a time. Who knew what would happen in the future...
At the same time, in the Yun family.
Xiao Jinfeng paced outside the west wing for a moment, his face full of doubt.
Such a large residence, almost like a palace, with only two little maids living inside, it was too strange.
Ruyue and Ruhua peeked out from the window through the cracks.
Seeing Xiao Jinfeng lingering like a dark cloud, Ruyue worriedly said, "Oh dear, what should we do? His Highness Prince Ming seems to have discovered us..."
The young master had come to the countryside to live precisely to stay away from the disputes in the palace. Apart from Marquis Pingyang, Gu Mingyan, very few people knew that Xiao Jinheng was living in Dashui Village.
Now that the Second Prince Xiao Jinfeng had also come to the Yun family, did it mean that the young master's hiding place had been exposed.
If Consort Xian were to find out about this, not only would the young master be in danger, but the Yun family would also be implicated...
"Then, then what should we do? Should we write a letter to the young master?" Ruhua said tremblingly.
Ruyue gave her a sideways glance. "We can't even send a letter. Don't you see that the courtyard and the outside are all filled with Prince Ming's men? In my opinion, we should ask Sweet Baby for help with this matter!"
Sweet Baby's status in the Yun family was self-evident. If she wanted to send a letter out, even Xiao Jinfeng wouldn't dare to stop her...
Ruhua sighed softly, turned to the desk, picked up a brush, and wrote a letter.
If Jin Mama were here, the two of them wouldn't be so flustered. But now, everyone had accompanied the young master back to the palace, leaving only the two little maids, who were at a loss and very uneasy.
Xiao Jinheng lingered outside the door for a while before returning to the guest room for tea...
"How is it? Have you found any clues?" Xiao Jinfeng held his teacup and took a gentle sip.
Er Longzi nodded. "Your Highness, last night, your subordinate sneaked into the study in the west wing and found several special items, such as a specially made jade belt from the palace, and the Four Treasures of the Study, all produced by the Ministry of Works!"
"So?" Xiao Jinfeng frowned, his expression a little impatient.
Er Longzi cupped his hands. "So... so the person living in the west wing is very likely the Crown Prince!"
Upon hearing this, a cold light flashed in Xiao Jinfeng's eyes, and he slowly curved his lips. "Heh heh, it's truly a case of searching high and low for something that appears without effort. Sixth Brother, you've been in hiding for many years, and I've finally found you!"
There were no secrets that couldn't be kept in this world...
Er Longzi scratched the goosebumps on his arm, feeling that the Prince's gaze was incredibly terrifying.
"Your, Your Highness, what should we do next?" Er Longzi blinked. "Now that the Crown Prince is not in Dashui Village, there's no point in us staying here!"
"Who says there's no point?" Xiao Jinfeng put down his teacup and slowly stood up. "If I'm not mistaken, Sixth Brother has likely returned to the palace, and he'll be back on his own soon. We just need to be patient, wait by the stump for the rabbit, and catch the turtle in the urn. Then, even if he grows wings, he won't be able to escape my grasp, heh heh..."
Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, a loud crash came from outside the guest room.
"Clang!"
It sounded like something had fallen from the windowsill.
Xiao Jinfeng's expression sharpened, and he looked sharply at the door. "Who's there?"
"Your subordinate will go and check..." Er Longzi said, then darted out.
He saw a bamboo basket lying on the ground, with four or five roasted potatoes scattered everywhere.
Er Longzi looked around but found no suspicious person. He picked up the roasted potatoes and returned to the guest room.
Meanwhile, Jin Huaihua, who was in the kitchen, was clutching her chest and breathing heavily.
So, so Young Master Xiao was here to catch Young Master Xiao...
He appeared gentle and courteous on the surface, but he had a wicked heart.
Should she go and tell her mother?
Just as Jin Huaihua was hesitating, footsteps suddenly came from outside the kitchen.
