Possessed by Luffy's fruit, I went crazy in ancient times

Chapter 3 Caitian Village

"General Qi, we have searched the area and found no one," the soldier knelt down and reported to Shouhui.

His deep and cold eyes, his brows as black as coals, and a hint of coldness in his narrow eyes: "Keep searching forward."

After the soldiers left, the deputy general next to him stepped forward to comfort him: "Your Majesty, maybe the princess-to-be has gone back?"

He looked at the prince with a very gloomy expression.

After the prince got engaged to Xu Chuan, the eldest daughter of the Taifu family, fighting broke out in the border town again. His fiancée, who had not yet met, heard that the prince had arrived in the border town and followed him all the way.

Unexpectedly, it took three months for the servants in Taifu's residence to send the news of the missing person.

In the past two days, in order to find the prospective princess, the prince had searched all the towns in the border town but could not find anyone.

Ye Shang picked up the portrait again. It was the way he liked it. His mother-in-law had known him best since he was a child, and she even chose the woman he liked.

The woman has clear eyebrows and thin lips. Although he has never seen the person in the portrait, he has won Ye Shang's heart with just one painting.

"If you go back, the Tutor's Mansion has already sent someone to deliver a letter. Now that he has been missing for three months, I'm afraid..." Ye Shang did not dare to think about how he should meet Miss Xu Chuan after His Majesty granted him the marriage. keep in touch.

Now, it's really difficult for him.

If the person is gone, how should he explain to the Taifu?

It’s been three months, no news for three months.

In his heart, Ye Shang blamed the people in Taifu's Mansion and felt sorry for Xu Chuan.

He has never had contact with a woman since he entered the military camp at the age of fourteen. As a soldier, he always hangs his head on his waist. Over the years, he has not dared to marry a wife, let alone have children.

Born in troubled times, many wives were separated and families were destroyed. As a border soldier, the only thing he could do was to protect the homes of the people.

As for personal matters
  "Prince Qi, we are approaching Caitian Village ahead. It is already the last village. Further north, we will reach the enemy's border." The soldier stepped forward to report again.

They had been searching for three days and three nights on the prince's order, but still found nothing. Several surrounding towns were even more panicked.

"Yeah, let's go, we'll talk about it after searching." Ye Shang waved his hand, turned around, took a roll of portraits, and handed it to the lieutenant beside him.

"Could it be that this king is really alone in his fate?" Yeshang asked himself again.

The lieutenant hesitated for a moment and stepped forward: "My lord, please don't say that. You are the prince of our Jin Dynasty. How could you end up living alone?" The imperial concubine made three marriage arrangements for the prince.

The women who were married to three families were either dead or abducted, and all of them were scared to death of the prince.

Another one actually hanged himself in order not to marry the prince.

Qin Tianjian said that the prince was born a widow and was not suitable for marrying. Everyone in the Jin Dynasty knew this.

The prince has been at the border gate all these years, so how can he have time to find a wife? It is difficult to meet a sow in this border gate alone, let alone that woman.

However, the prince is really unlucky. He has returned to Kyoto four times in six years. Every time he went back, he was engaged, and every time he went back, the engagement was annulled. This time he went back and made an appointment again, but he did not expect that the future princess would follow the prince. At the border, people were gone.

According to his opinion, the future princess is also in danger.

"Forget it, let it be fate. You have someone search the village ahead. If they still can't find it, then the only thing they can do is..." Ye Shang didn't finish the rest of his words.

On the contrary, the deputy general immediately understood what he meant.

He bowed his hands and stepped back.

The entrance to Caitian Village.

The deputy general led two groups of soldiers to stand up.

At the entrance of the village is a winding suspension bridge. Through the suspension bridge is the residence of the villagers of Caitian Village.

There is a river about five meters wide and unfathomable under the suspension bridge.

The deputy general stood on the bank of the river and looked down the river. His face turned dark. If he fell, he would definitely die.

He swallowed, turned to the soldiers behind him and said, "Check it carefully for me. It's the last village. Look carefully. If you find it, the prince will give you a big reward."

In fact, he himself didn't believe that a weak woman like the princess dared to cross the suspension bridge and enter the village.

But to be on the safe side, someone still has to go into the village to look for it.

Caitian Village is located at the junction of the Jin Dynasty and the enemy country of David.

The reason why this village still has its name is that there is an unfathomable river at the entrance of the village. Most people dare not cross the bridge, and it leads directly to the town after leaving the village. People in the village have very convenient transportation except crossing the bridge.

Therefore, the villagers living in Caitian Village are living a peaceful life.

"Yes"

After speaking, the deputy general took the lead and stepped onto the suspension bridge.

The soldiers behind him followed in twos and threes.

The deputy general's figure was round and powerful, and he was swaying when he stepped onto the suspension bridge. The soldiers behind him stopped when they saw this.

The deputy general walked about ten steps and found no movement. He stopped and turned around, only to find several soldiers leaning towards the suspension bridge.

"Hurry up!" the deputy general roared angrily.

The soldiers were so frightened that they immediately stepped onto the suspension bridge, and the whole bridge suddenly began to shake.

The deputy general shouted in his heart that it was not good, and immediately turned around and said: "You come four at a time" and his tone became softer.

He turned around and quickened his pace, running quickly towards Caitian Village.

"Are you afraid, deputy general?" the leading soldier suddenly asked when he saw the deputy general's panicked steps.

"Come on, military orders, military orders are like mountains. If you don't follow them, you will die." The soldier on the side suddenly whispered, and stepped onto the suspension bridge.

The deputy general stood at the entrance of Caitian Village at the other end of the suspension bridge, turning his head to look at the soldiers arriving in order step by step, with lingering fear.

Damn, it would be so embarrassing to die in the river.

It's okay to die on the battlefield, but it's not worthwhile to fall to your death like this.

He looked under the bridge. The river was orchid and deep, and there were several whirlpools in the river.

"Your Majesty, the deputy general has personally searched Caitian Village." The soldiers hurried to Yeshang and reported.

Yeshang paused: "Have you already crossed the bridge?" He had been to that bridge when he first came to the border.

He was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat, and he never went there again.

The fear was real, and the thought that if I fell into the river and drowned was real, it was also real.

"We've crossed the bridge. The deputy general has already searched the village." The soldier was proud. The deputy general was really brave. He even crossed such a gloomy suspension bridge in person, which shows that the prince should have taken him with him.

"Yeah," Yeshang waved his hand and asked the soldiers to retreat.

dark place.

The two hidden guards were lying down with a piece of dogtail grass in their mouths, staring at Ye Shang's position.

"My lord, you are serious this time. For the sake of the prospective princess, you have pulled out all your private soldiers to find someone," Shadow Guard Yinyi said quietly.

"No, it's the first time I've seen the prince be so serious about a woman," Yin Er agreed.

Yinyi: "Do you think the future princess can be found?"

Yin Er sighed: "It depends on fate."

Yinyi: "What do you mean"?
  Yinji: "You haven't followed me back to Kyoto these few times, have you? Our prince is famous for his wife restraint."

Yin Yi looked at Yin Er with wide eyes: "Katsuma?"

“I’ve heard of Kefudi, but this is the first time I’ve heard of Kefudi”

Yin Er: "So although the brothers came out to look for him, they didn't have any hope. The deputy general risked his own life this time in order to spare the prince's heart."

Yin Yi paused for a moment: "What do you mean?"

Yin Er: "The suspension bridge in Caitian Village is the famous Meng Po Bridge. Many people cannot survive on it, but no one has had any trouble when people in Caitian Village go in and out. So do you think the deputy will risk his life? "

Yin made a big "oh" expression.

Yin Er: "Don't tell anyone, the prince is very concerned about this matter."

Yin Yi made a gesture of shutting up and whispered: "Don't worry, I'm famous for being strict with my mouth."
