Time passed and the season changed . The cold season ended . The snow has melted, and trees and early flowers are pushing through the ground . Jiang Xiao Tian stood at the pavilion with his gaze looking towards the flower that has begun to sprout . His hand clenched on the piece of paper in his hand tightly . Earlier today, his men brought him investigation reports .

After months of investigating, his men could not find out the link between Chancellor Chen and the envoy from Western Zhou . It seemed that other than the time he saw Chancellor Chen's man, Xiao Bai together with Tang Xin near the port months ago, they never had any other interaction . There was no movement from Chancellor Chen's side .

Just now, another report came back . The group that went to search for the lost tribe met another dead end .

AdvertisementNot long ago, they received news that one of the descendants of the tribe escaped the calamities and escaped to Qian Rong . They received a few clues, but once they followed the leads, it took them to another dead end . It was as if the descendant they were looking for has disappeared from the earth .

Jiang Xiao Tian has been tracking after the Nanlin Tribe for years under the Emperor's command . The Nanlin Tribe live in seclusion deep in the forest of Sui Country . Because they were mostly associated with poison and practices of magic, a lot of people feared them . However, the number of people who would look for them was not small either . Some of them would look for them to cause harm, and some would seek them to cure .

Before the tribe disappeared, it was said that the Nanlin Tribe had a dispute with the imperial family of Sui country . Because of this, the Sui gathered their army and massacred the entire tribe . None of them were spared, even the kids and the elderly .

When they first found out that the Princess was poisoned, and Han Zhenting had suggested to the Emperor to search for the Nanlin Tribe . As long as someone could figure out what kind of poison was in the Princess' body, it will be easier for them to heal the princess . However, because they know nothing about the poison, they could only search for those rare herbs .

Jiang Xiao Tian snapped out of his thought when he sensed that someone was approaching him . He placed the paper on the fire and watched it burned . Seconds later, Jiang Xiao Xian entered the room . "Elder Brother, you're home," Xiao Tian greeted .

Jiang Xiao Xian nodded . "I only came back to change my clothes . I'm heading out again to inspect the hunting ground when I saw you here . "

Jiang Xiao Tian looked at his brother's haggard face . Due to the approaching Spring Hunt, Xiao Xian has been working day and night without much rest . Right now, his clothes looked neat and clean . However, there was a small white spot on his shoulder . "Elder Brother, it seems that you may have to change your clothes again," Xiao Tian spoke as he pointed towards the white spots .

"What?" Xiao Xian frowned when he saw the white spots . A few months ago, his wife, Wen Ji gave birth to a healthy baby boy . After he changed to new clothes, Xiao Xian visited his son and played with the baby for a while . His son must have spit out some milk when he was carrying him .

Xiao Xian took out a handkerchief and wiped the stains . He noticed the ashes on the table and quickly understood what Xiao Tian was doing there . "Any good news?"

Xiao Tian forced a smile . "I may have to go away again after Mingyue's wedding . "

"Where are you going this time?"

"I don't know yet . " Xiao Tian stood up to clear the ashes on the table . "I heard Her Highness has been practicing riding and archery recently . How is Her Highness archery skill?" he tried to steer the conversation away before Xiao Xian asked him questions he could not answer .

Xiao Xian thought over it and replied, "It's not bad . I suppose with her current skill; she may catch something . Even if she did not catch anything, that's not bad too . The princes will try to catch something for her . After all, they are joining the Spring Hunt to impress the princess . "

Jiang Xiao Tian chuckled at his brother's answer . The smile on his face gradually disappeared . "Keep your eyes close on Chen's family," Xiao Tian reminded . "If anyone wanted to hurt the princess, they will find a chance to do so during the Spring Hunt . "

"As for now, the hunting area is under my watch . No one could go in or out before the Spring Hung commences . Don't worry . I will make sure nothing bad will happen during the Spring Hunt," Xiao Xian said . "I still wanted to keep my position as a General . "
