Chapter 259
Cui Zhihui grabbed her again: "You are not allowed to go! What is a woman doing out in such a cold weather? Just stay by the brazier and I will go with him!"

Mrs. Cui broke away from Cui Zhihui's hand and locked her eyes on Cui Zhihui: "I can't trust you!"

As the words fell, Mrs. Cui quickly stepped out of the room.

She found Bai Jing who was ordering people and preparing horses, and said firmly: "Husband, I will go with you."

Bai Jing naturally refused. He couldn't bear his wife to take this risk, so he flatly refused: "Susu, wait until I come back."

Ms. Cui held his hand: "We agreed to face everything together. At this time, I will definitely be by your side. I can ride a horse and am very strong. I will not hold back my husband."

In fact, what Cui is more afraid of is that if what the second brother said is true, then the seventh brother may be in trouble.

My husband would definitely not be able to accept the fact that he found his seventh brother who was already freezing in the cold mountains.

With her by her side, at least at that moment, her husband would not be left alone, not even a shoulder to lean on.

"Okay." Bai Jing did not refuse.

Because he understands how deeply his wife feels about him.

Because of this, he couldn't bear to refuse his wife's intention to help him through thick and thin.

And he himself knew that if the moment of losing Xiao Qi really came, his cowardly self would not be able to bear it.

He needed Cui, needed Cui to give him the reason and motivation to live at that time.

Cui Zhihui also came to the two of them. He glanced at Mr. Cui coldly, and then said: "I will lead the way."

Bai Jing didn't respond.

Obviously, after he calmed down a little, he also felt that Cui Zhihui was not something to be reassured about.

After all, this person showed a side that should be feared and suspected from the very beginning.

Seeing Bai Jing's expression, Cui Zhihui sneered: "If this general wants to harm you, how can he do it himself?"

"If it weren't for the dangerous roads in that forest, and we were afraid that you would get lost and get into trouble there, and we would have to lead people to rescue you, do you think I, the general, wanted to accompany you to go crazy this time?"

Just as Bai Jing was about to speak, the guards came to report: "Fifth Young Master, the horses and twenty guards have been ordered and we are ready to set off."

Bai Jing didn't say anything and immediately rushed to the stable.

Seeing that Bai Jing did not refuse, Cui Zhihui also followed behind the others. The group set off in a mighty manner, riding hard towards Cuiping Mountain.

When Bai Xiuying heard the commotion, she immediately stopped practicing and came to ask, "What's going on?"

Bai Jing left a message for the guard. After hearing Bai Xiuying's inquiry, she quickly replied: "Sixth Miss, the Fifth Young Master said that he went out to do some things and will be back soon. Please don't worry."

Bai Xiuying was very surprised: "What is the matter that requires dispatching our own guards?"

The guard shook his head: "Replying to Miss Six, all I know is that the matter seems to be urgent. The Fifth Young Master ordered twenty guards and left in a hurry. The rest of the subordinates don't know."

Bai Xiuying was even more puzzled: "I seemed to have seen Fifth Sister-in-law and General Cui just now. Did they go too?"

The guard responded respectfully: "Yes, Miss Six."

Bai Xiuying waved her hand and ordered the guards to retreat. She thought for a long time with her hands on her hips, but she still couldn't figure out what the fifth brother and his fifth sister-in-law were going out with, let alone Cui Zhihui.

After much thought, Bai Xiuying decided to go find Ren. Maybe Ren knew the reason.

"Aunt Six."

Xiao Chuan Yizheng and Liu Yao were studying in the courtyard. When they saw Bai Xiuying passing by in a hurry, they immediately said hello.

Bai Xiuying stepped back and told Xiao Chuanyi, whose cheeks were red: "Ask Cheng Bi to put on more clothes for you. Your face is turning red from the cold."

"Yes, Sixth Aunt." Xiao Chuanyi responded obediently and looked at her in confusion, "Sixth Aunt, what's going on in such a hurry?"

Bai Xiuying explained simply: "Your fifth uncle went out with someone. I was just going to ask your second aunt if she knew the reason."

Little Chuanyi's little face wrinkled, and his overly precocious eyes flashed alertly: "Uncle Wu often goes to the school training ground outside the city. Is it strange that he goes out?"

Bai Xiuying said: "It's not unusual for him to go out, but it is unusual for him to go out with twenty guards. Moreover, he is also accompanied by your fifth aunt and General Cui."

"Snapped!"

Xiao Chuanyi closed the book, with a very serious and solemn expression on his red little face: "Sixth Aunt, I don't know what happened, but my intuition tells me that there must be something fishy about this matter."

"Please inform Vice General Wei and Aunt Seven immediately to enter combat readiness, and ask him to send a team to chase Uncle Five and them. I and the Ninth Prince will go down and notify the city defense to strengthen the alert."

Bai Xiuying was puzzled: "Chuanyi, is the matter so serious?" Xiao Chuanyi shook his head: "I don't know, but it's always right to be careful."

Bai Xiuying knows Chuanyi's intelligence. Just because she can't understand a question doesn't mean that the child doesn't understand either.

So she didn't dare to delay and immediately went to the stable to get the horse.

Liu Yao looked confused, but he still stopped Bai Xiuying before she left: "Stupid leopard!"

Bai Xiuying looked back and glared at him: "I don't have time to argue with you now!"

Liu Yaohe wrote: "You underestimate me. Am I the kind of person who quarrels with shrews when he has nothing to do? I just want to tell you, be careful not to fall to death when riding a horse!"

Bai Xiuying ignored Liu Yao and rushed to the school training ground as quickly as possible.

Xiao Chuanyi was not idle either. Together with Cheng Bi and Liu Yao, he quickly went to the north wall facing Liancheng and notified the soldiers guarding the city to step up their defense and be ready to fight at any time.

……

After more than two hours of running around, Bai Jing and his party finally arrived at the place Cui Zhihui mentioned.

The site had long been washed away by water from melted snow, leaving no trace behind.

Cui Zhihui said: "It has been a few days, and the person is definitely not still here. We will use this place as the center point to search in the direction where he may have gone."

"Although his destination is Yaocheng, he is seriously injured and lame, so he will probably choose to find a shelter that can protect him first at that time."

"So I suggest searching nearby. If he is still alive, he won't be able to go too far."

Bai Jing never refuted Cui Zhihui's analysis and suggestions.

So they divided their troops into four groups, centered on the location Cui Zhihui mentioned, and spread out in four directions to search.

Bai Jing and Cui looked in the west direction.

Along the way, Cui kept walking as fast as possible just so as not to slow down the team.

However, even at such a moment, Bai Jing would still take care of her and express concern for her from time to time: "Susu, is it okay?"

Cui's physical strength was naturally not comparable to that of men. At this time, her breathing was a little erratic, and there was dense sweat on her forehead, but she did not stop, as if she had endless power.

"It doesn't matter to me, husband, don't worry."

Bai Jing asked her: "Why don't you blame me for being impulsive?"

Ms. Cui smiled and shook her head. After taking a few deep breaths, she managed to stop her sentences: "If it were me, I couldn't help it. How can I blame you for being impulsive?"

Bai Jing forced out a smile and wiped the sweat from her forehead with her sleeves: "I asked you to accompany me on this trip. I've suffered a lot."

Ms. Cui shook her head again: "I said that I should share everything with my husband, whether it is joy or sorrow."

"Asking me to wait for you at home is absolutely impossible. I won't let you bear this alone. Even if you didn't allow me to come, I would rush to you at all costs."

Bai Jing stared at her for a moment, but stopped moving forward.

After a moment of silence, he said hoarsely: "Susu, that dagger belongs to Xiao Qi, of course. I'm... very scared."

Just as Ms. Cui was about to comfort her, the guard's voice came from nearby: "Fifth Young Master, there is someone lying down below!"

Bai Jing immediately walked towards the source of the sound. He walked hurriedly and anxiously, even using his hands and feet at the same time.

The anxiety and sorrow that seemed to be soaked into the bone marrow were evident in every move.

Cui followed him and finally caught up with him after a lot of effort, but was stopped by him: "Susu, it's too slippery. Don't move. Wait for me here."

It turned out that there was a ravine several feet deep below. The slope was not too steep, but the mud was slippery, making it impossible to move forward.

The guards can still use Qinggong, but for the two of them, it is as difficult as a natural chasm.

After the words fell, Bai Jing held up the hem of her clothes and prepared to slide off.

Mrs. Cui immediately grabbed Bai Jing's arm: "Husband, the guards are downstairs. We'll wait until they confirm. It won't take long, just a short while. Maybe they have already confirmed it before you go down."

Faced with his wife's concerns and worries, Bai Jing resisted the urge to rush down desperately. He squatted on the stone and looked down, with undisguised anxiety in his voice: "How is the situation down below?"

At this moment, before anyone could reply, a pair of hands pushed towards Bai Jing's back with lightning speed.
