After Yelu Jue also entered the ice cave, two Khitan warriors blocked the entrance of the passage with snow, then took off their coats, and began to retreat and sweep away the footprints on the snow with their coats.

After all, it was under the moonlit night, which was obviously not as good as the daytime. After the footprints in the deep snow were wiped out, they could not be recognized even when they were close.

They swept the footprints on the floor and cleared them out of the tent. These two were the Khitan warriors who were on guard tonight, so except for them, the others were sleeping in the tent and did not notice their actions.

Then, the two Khitan warriors walked quickly towards the direction of Turkic Heisha City, stepping on deep snow.

It's dawn.

Xiaoxiao was already ready to set off, sat cross-legged in her tent waiting for Lu Jinping to issue a departure order.

The wind was blowing, and the wind was still relatively strong, but it was much better than the vast snow that had covered the sky in the past few days. At least it could be seen far away. And with the sun, you would know how to go in the general direction.

But she waited for a long time without any movement until Yunzi came in and said, "Sister Xiaoxiao, you don't go and see it. What's wrong with my brother? Is that girl Qingqing sleeping so late?"

As before, Ye Qingqing would get up before dawn, and prepare for the start. This time, it was dawn and there was no movement, which was a bit strange.

So Xiaoxiao quickly came to Lu Jinping's tent, thought for a while, coughed and said, "Qingqing!"

Ye Qingqing agreed in the big tent and lifted the tent. Xiaoxiao saw that she was dressed neatly and had her luggage ready, but she couldn't see Lu Jinping inside. She couldn't help but wonder, and asked, "Where is the prince?"

"The prince said in the middle of the night yesterday that he would go to talk to the princess about things, and he didn't come back until dawn."

After saying this, Ye Qingqing felt something was wrong and immediately ran to the princess tent. Xiaoxiao and Yunzi looked at each other. Their faces darkened and they quickly followed.

Xiaoxiao's martial arts skills were much higher. She had already arrived at the princess's tent first after a few ups and downs, but she saw that the curtain of the princess's tent had been raised. Two maids were packing things inside, while the princess was sitting cross-legged on a tiger-skin cushion and meditating with her eyes closed.

Lu Jinping was not seen in the big tent either.

Xiaoxiao was a little panicked and asked anxiously: "Princess, did the prince not be with you last night?"

The princess couldn't help but feel shy and said, "How could he be with me..." As soon as she finished speaking, the princess also noticed something was wrong, so she stood up and took two steps forward and said, "What's wrong, is the prince missing?"

Ye Qingqing, who followed closely, had heard their conversation, and suddenly turned pale with panic and said anxiously: "Last night he said he was coming to talk to the princess, so that I didn't have to wait for him. I thought he was with the princess, oh I deserved to die, I should come out with him..."

Ye Qingqing was so anxious that she almost cried.

Yunzi said anxiously: "Look for it quickly. He might be nearby or chatting in a tent. Look for it quickly."

Several people immediately began to search in the tent, and the Meihua Inner Guard also got the news and searched in all directions. They quickly searched all over, because all the soldiers had already gotten up before dawn to prepare their luggage and did not continue to sleep in.

When they found the elder's tent, the elders knew that the prince was gone, and immediately panicked and followed him around to search. However, after searching all around, there was no trace of Lu Jinping.

However, they finally found two lines of footprints, extending towards the Turkic Black Sand City.

Due to the cold wind that last night, the footprints were already vague and could only be identified.

Xiaoxiao immediately took out a bamboo flute and summoned the snow sculpture like the wind.

However, he blew hard and waited for a long time but could not see the ferret like the wind. It was probably because there were blizzards for more than ten days before, and the visibility between heaven and earth was very low. In the strong wind, the snow sculptures could not track their direction and did not know where they were going. The snow sculptures had lost contact with them.

Xiaoxiao knew that the snow sculpture would look for his traces after the sky was clear, but now he could not wait for the snow sculpture to come. Because two lines of footprints were found on the snow, Xiaoxiao immediately subconsciously judged that Lu Jinping was taken away by someone. He was extremely anxious and immediately ordered to chase forward along the footprints.

Xiaoxiao didn't care about the others and just wanted to take the plum blossom inner guard and Ye Qingqing to catch up first.

Several elders quickly comforted her and said not to be anxious because there were moons and stars last night. Several elders had already determined that the two lines of footprints were heading towards Heisha City, the Turkic capital. They also happened to walk in this direction and chase after her. It would be better not to separate, so as not to get lost.

After hearing this, Xiaoxiao felt a little relieved. At least they had found the direction. It was easy for the elders on the grassland to distinguish the direction based on the stars. The reason why they got lost in the past ten days was because of the snowstorms all over the sky, and there was no reference for them to distinguish the direction.

Xiaoxiao decided to chase after her first. She asked the elders and others to come and then came, and took the plum blossom inner guard, Yunzi and Ye Qingqing to chase after her on horseback.

However, it is very difficult to walk quickly in such soft and deep snow. Although Xiaoxiao's martial arts are superb, she cannot drift quickly on the soft snow.

However, her speed was much faster than others, and she chased her to the front alone. But the sky was not as beautiful as it was after chasing for a while, although it was not as strong as the blizzard a few days ago, the cold wind was enough to sweep away the footprints on the snow.

Soon, the footprints on the ground became increasingly faded and eventually disappeared.

Xiaoxiao was afraid of getting lost, so she could only wait for the Turkic elder who was catching up with him from behind.

The elder arrived, but the soldiers did not keep up.

At this time, the blizzard started again.

Xiaoxiao was angry and anxious, but she didn't know that those people were pretended by Khitan warriors. She thought they were real soldiers in the Tang Dynasty, so she sent someone back to find them. As a result, the wind and snow were everywhere. After searching for a long time, she still couldn't find the footprints of the soldiers. She must have lost direction in the wind and snow and lost contact with them.

But she didn't know that these Khitan warriors who pretended to be soldiers of the Tang Dynasty deliberately dragged them back, and then changed their walking direction with the wind and snow, turning to the direction of the Khitan, and did not come with them. The wind and snow covered their footprints, so naturally they could not find their traces.

The princess was extremely anxious. She didn't know who kidnapped her future husband, but her husband was so powerful that his martial arts were actually robbed. The man's martial arts must be even more powerful, and he felt even more anxious. Several elders comforted her repeatedly and said that the prince was lucky and the heavenly appearance would definitely turn bad luck into good fortune and bring good fortune to the death. Some elders also said that perhaps the Empress Dowager wanted to see him in a hurry and sent someone to invite him first.

This explanation is just in line with the princess's concern, because Aktao brought his troops to them before, and it was sent by the Empress Dowager. So she was worried that the Empress Dowager would send a master to rob Lu Jinping. However, the only thing that made him feel a little relieved was that if the Empress Dowager had murderous intentions towards Lu Jinping, he would not have had trouble taking him away, but killed him directly. Since there was no killing, maybe that person did not really want Lu Jinping's life.

After this speculation, the princess felt a little relieved. Now he just wanted to search all the way and rush back to Heisha City as soon as possible to find out who took Lu Jinping away, and wonder if Lu Jinping had arrived in Heisha City in advance.

If it is confirmed that Lu Jinping has not arrived in Heisha City at that time, she will immediately lead people to search in the desert and must find her husband.

Not to mention that they were extremely anxious toward Heisha City, they also said that Lu Jinping and Yelu Jue hid under the ice cave. Because they didn't know whether Xiaoxiao and the others had already walked away at night, Yelu Jue was not in a hurry to take Lu Jinping away, but was lying beside Lu Jinping in the ice cave and talking to him.

They had previously laid a layer of tiger skin mattresses, so they would not be cooled by the ice and snow below. Although the ice cave was much warmer than outside, Yelu Jue still hugged Lu Jinping and seemed very cold.

Lu Jinping smiled bitterly and said, "Madam, you said you wanted to marry my daughter to me, but you are like me again. Isn't it a bit inappropriate?"

Yelu Jue laughed and said, "I originally had the plan to let you be my son-in-law, but now I have changed my mind because I find that being my man may be more helpful to me than being my son-in-law."

"I understand. Whether you let me be your son-in-law or your man, your purpose is nothing more than to let me help you deal with the Turks. There is no need to do this. Talk about it. After I go to the Turks to accomplish my business, I will naturally consider going to the Khitan with you. Why set such a trap?"

"You are right, this is my main purpose. I must eliminate my opponent. I know my daughter best. If she marrys you, she will try her best to protect you and will not protect me. He will first consider your safety and your interests, and will not let you take risks to help me. If he finds that there is danger, as my son-in-law, you can only help me to the general extent, and at most it will be helpful to make me look forward to returning to the Tang Dynasty. But if you really want to let you fight bloody battles for me, or even borrow soldiers from the Tang Dynasty to deal with rebels and Turks, she probably won't agree, that's equivalent to sending you to the battlefield. I believe this selfish daughter will not do it. It will be different if you become my man, and you will think about me with all your might."

Lu Jinping was not scared, what exactly did this woman want to do? He said: "Madam, don't you know that some men don't admit their conscience after lifting their pants? Are you not afraid that I will take advantage of you but don't care at all?"

"I won't be fooled, let alone, I have a way to help me wholeheartedly."

"What method? You won't poison me and force me to serve you, otherwise you'll let me die of poison, right?"

Yelu Jue smiled: "The method you said is indeed very sinister and must be very effective. Unfortunately, I can consider it when dealing with other people, but I can't bear to deal with you. After all, if you want to be my man, how can you suffer such pain? Besides, if you are carrying such a heavy burden to help me do things, you will not be attentive. Only by relaxing your whole body and mind, I believe that you can display your greatest ability to help me achieve my goal. So, I have thought of a better way." (To be continued.)
