Until the second day, Xie Mingcang found no trace of General Xie, and he couldn't help but feel a little anxious.

He walked anxiously in the forest, and Xie Shi'an's face could not help but appear in his mind. He was afraid that something would happen to Xie Mingcang.

Gritting his teeth, he entered the mountain alone.

Dark night enveloped the mountains and forests, and he would return to the military camp tomorrow at this time.

Stones and trees intertwined together to form black barriers. Xie Mingcang's ears could only hear the rustling of leaves in the forest and the low roars of unknown animals in the distance. The mountain road was winding and winding.

The cold wind blew from time to time. Xie Mingcang held a torch in his hand. There was no bright light here, and he staggered on the path.

The mark left by General Xie disappeared in front of him. He searched for a long time but did not see the remaining mark, and it just disappeared there. So, where is General Xie at this time?

There were no traces of fighting around him. General Xie was nowhere to be found. If he was taken away by others, it would be impossible for him to leave nothing behind.

Xie Mingcang lowered his voice, "Dad - dad -"

He did not dare to speak too loudly. If the Southern Barbarians heard it, it would be detrimental to General Xie. Several people searched for General Xie for several days without sleep. Xie Mingcang was not Zhou Bapi, so he let these people go and rest today.

But he was still worried, so he asked Xie Mingcang to look for General Xie himself. Even if he found him an hour earlier, General Xie would be less dangerous.

There was no sound except the rustling of leaves and the whistling of the wind.

Xie Mingcang couldn't help but feel anxious. He lay down and left marks on the surrounding trees. This was something only the father and son knew.

Xie Jingjun probably didn't expect him to come here. After all, he had been imprisoned in Shangjing City by His Majesty for a long time.

There were footsteps behind him.

Xie Mingcang's hand tightly grasped the long sword at his waist, ready to draw it out at any time and give the man a fatal blow.

"Who?"

Xie Mingcang frowned slightly, with a solemn tone in his tone.

"Thank you, little general?"

Xie Mingcang instantly opened his eyes and turned around. Standing behind him was General Li.

"General Li! Why are you here? Did you leave that mark?"

Xie Mingcang's face was full of disappointment. If this mark was really left by him, then it means that General Xie is not here at all, so where can he be? Is he still alive?

General Li nodded and shook his head, "The mark was left by me and General Xie together."

Hearing this, Xie Mingcang breathed a sigh of relief, "That's great. Where is my father now?"

"General Xie has inconvenient legs and feet. He is resting in a cave not far away. Please come with me, General Xie." General Li looked serious.

Neither of them spoke in the dark night, everything seemed so quiet and quiet. The two of them walked to the entrance of a cave together. General Li went in first, and Xie Mingcang stood waiting at the door.

After a long while, he poked his head out and said, "Xie Xiao General, come in quickly."

Seeing the scene inside, Xie Mingcang's eyes widened instantly, filled with disbelief. He quickly stepped forward and grabbed General Xie's arm with trembling hands, "Why are you injured?"

General Xie shook his head weakly, "It's okay, it's just a minor injury. The injury was caused by falling from the cliff and has nothing to do with those southern barbarians."

Suddenly he changed the subject, "Why are you here? Aren't you supposed to be in Beijing at this time?"

"I beg His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to bring me here with him. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been appointed as the deputy general for counterinsurgency. The two of us came together with General Liu." "General Liu?"

"Yes--"

Seeing his brows furrowed tightly, Xie Mingcang looked at him and asked, "What's wrong, dad? Is there anything wrong with General Liu?"

"He belongs to Prince Rui, and he has a partisan dispute with His Highness the Crown Prince. Is there anyone trustworthy around His Highness the Crown Prince?"

Xie Mingcang tilted his head and thought for a while. Song Yanxing's confident and confident appearance appeared in his mind, and he nodded, "His Royal Highness must have a back-up plan. Don't worry, dad."

"Okay." General Xie nodded.

"Father, please come back with me quickly. The camp will be stationed not far from Liangcheng."

General Xie held Xie Mingcang's hand tightly, "I can't go back now, it will be detrimental to His Royal Highness."

"Dad, don't worry. His Highness the Crown Prince told me to take you back. If His Highness said that, it must have been taken care of. Those who came with me today are all His Highness's trusted aides."

"This..." General Xie couldn't help but hesitate.

General Li stood aside and consoled him, "Yes, General, we still need you to fight against the Nanman. You have fought with the Nanman for so many years. Who can understand them better than you?"

"Yes, what General Li said makes sense, please come with me." Xie Mingcang looked serious and could not refuse every word.

General Xie raised his head and couldn't help but take a second look at his son. Xie Mingcang had grown up and no longer acted like he did when he was a child. He had grown up and could stand on his own.

"Okay, I'll go to the camp with you." In the end, General Xie didn't say anything that could refuse his son.

The two of them followed Xie Mingcang down the mountain. The guards at the foot of the mountain did not rest. They were still sitting around the campfire and didn't know what they were doing. When they saw the three people coming down, they hurriedly greeted them.

"Thank you, General." Everyone knelt down and saluted him.

"Get up quickly and don't be too polite."

The few people slowly got up. The leader looked at Ye Xi and took out a bamboo hat from his horse and handed it to General Xie and General Li.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince asked us to prepare this. He said that if we find you, we will take you back with us at night. If you stay here for a while, it will be more dangerous. Why don't you thank the general and go back with us now?" "

General Xie and Xie Mingcang looked at each other, and when the latter nodded, they were sure that the group of people in front of them were trustworthy, and followed them on their horses.

However, because there was an injury on General Xie's back, Xie Mingcang personally took it back.

Xiao Qi sneaked into Song Yanxing's tent and said, "Your Highness, General Xie and General Li are here."

Song Yanxing looked at him in shock. He thought that General Xie was still alive, but he never thought that General Li would still be alive.

"Arrange them as I say. Don't let them miss their whereabouts and don't let General Liu find out."

"Your Highness, please rest assured. There is no need to worry."

After saying that, Xiao Qi turned around and left. Song Yanxing actually wanted to follow him, but he had been stared at too hard by General Liu recently. If he left, someone would soon notice that something was wrong and look for his traces. General Xie was implicated.

"Peace is good enough."

Song Yanxing murmured in a low voice.
