"This... ok, but I will bring the snow mountain holy clothes I made." Xia Ziying pouted and said weakly.
Seeing Xia Ziying's persistence, Mu Lianlong didn't feel embarrassed anymore and said, "Okay, go back quickly. Remember, no one can tell this matter, not even Ling'er. Do you understand?" Mu Lianlong
Long continued to emphasize.
"Well, I understand." After saying that, she walked outside. As she walked on the road, Xia Ziying was still muttering in her heart, "What are you doing? What a good thing, and now it has been lost because of him.
He was interested and had to leave secretly. He promised Ling'er before that he would take her with him when he went out this time, but now he doesn't even let her know. It would be weird if he didn't get scolded by Ling'er later. "I thought.
Thinking about it made me angry and more and more depressed.
Xia Ziying rushed to her room and put away the two sets of clothes hanging on the wall. She looked around and felt a little reluctant. Looking at the many things she and Linger had collected, she felt a little reluctant to leave. Xiaolian was still outside.
urging.
"Girl, hurry up, the prince told you to take your things and leave." Xiaolian said emphatically from outside.
"I understand. Let's go now." I originally wanted to leave a note for Ling'er, but it seemed I didn't have time, so I followed Xiaolian out and came outside. Xiaolian led her towards the
I walked towards the back door, because I wanted to avoid the eyes and ears, so I had to choose some small paths to go out.
When they arrived, Mu Lianlong and the concubine were already waiting there. They called Xia Ziying over and hurriedly waved, and Xia Ziying rushed over, "Wanru, you won't blame me for not notifying you in advance. This matter is of great importance. Trust me
If you have any difficulties, I will find an opportunity to explain to you after I get out." After saying that, he told the concubine some things, especially emphasizing that he and Wan Ru must be created to create an illusion that they are in the palace and must not be exposed.
The concubine agreed, but she was still wondering what to do.
"Sister, thank you for the things you gave me. The prince and I have a long way to go, and we won't be back in a while. I have to ask you a favor first." Xia Ziying walked up to the concubine and said.
"Say, as long as I can do it, I will do it for you." The concubine looked at the woman in front of her who had been favored and trusted by everyone in the palace since she came to the palace.
"I want to ask my sister to help me take good care of Ling'er. Ling'er has offended a lot of people because of me. I don't know when I will come back. I'm afraid Ling'er will be ostracized, so I beg you, sister.
Take care of it for me." Xia Ziying twitched her face and said a little uncomfortable.
"Of course, don't worry, Ling'er will be left to me. I will take good care of it. When you come back, I will give you a lively and lovely Ling'er." The concubine said with a deliberate smile, making her still immersed in discomfort just now.
Xia Ziying, who was in the middle, suddenly burst into laughter.
"Okay, we should go." Mu Lianlong looked there for a while. In order to keep things confidential, he couldn't stay any longer, so he shouted.
"Go, sister, you must take good care of the prince on the way." After saying this, Xiaolian opened the door. Two horses were already prepared at the door. Mu Lianlong helped Xia Ziying up, then got on the horse and followed the concubine.
Saying goodbye to Xiaolian, the concubine finally couldn't hold back the tears when she saw that the prince had really left this time. From today on, everything in the prince's palace had to be done by herself. She suddenly felt the pressure on her shoulders.
The responsibility is very heavy.
"Goodbye." Xia Ziying waved goodbye, and the concubine also waved. When Mu Lianlong lifted the reins, the horse was frightened and ran forward. Xia Ziying followed closely and galloped away. Watching them leave.
Her back disappeared into the dark night, and the concubine suddenly started crying. Xiaolian had never seen the concubine cry like this before, and she suddenly asked in a daze, "Concubine, what's wrong with you?"
The concubine held it back for a long time before saying, "I really hope it's me who will follow the prince on the adventure." After saying that, she turned around and walked towards the mansion, with Xiaolian following closely behind. After quietly looking around,
Closed the door.
The two people galloped out of Kyoto, and then ran towards the outside of the pass. They basically never stopped along the way. Only occasionally when they were very tired, they slowed down slightly. They ran from night to dawn, riding a full mile.
The horse ran for almost six hours. Xia Ziying felt that her body was almost dying of dehydration, and she hurriedly called to Mu Lianlong, who was still in front, to stop and take a rest.
After Mu Lianlong heard this, he reined in the horse, turned over and dismounted, walked over, and helped Xia Ziying off the horse. As soon as she got off the horse, Xia Ziying felt down to earth, and she couldn't help but fall to the ground and lie down in the grass.
middle.
This frightened Mu Lianlong. He thought Xia Ziying had fainted. When he saw that she was lying down enjoying herself, he felt relieved. It turned out that she was tired, so he smiled and took off the water bag from the horse.
Opened it, handed it to Xia Ziying, and said with concern: "Here, drink some water, it will make you feel better."
Seeing Mu Lianlong's concerned look, his heart skipped a beat and he got ready. But just as he moved, he realized that he could no longer move and had no strength. He suddenly looked ashamed and aggrieved.
Staring at Mu Lianlong.
Mu Lianlong smiled bitterly, then stretched out his hand to help her up, and said: "I didn't expect your body to be so weak. You can't bear it at all. We still have a long journey ahead of us. I'm really worried about you.
Can you live with it?" After saying that, he reluctantly handed the water bag to her.
Xia Ziying took the water bag, took a sip, calmed down a little, and pouted, "My body was better before, but this body is weak. It has experienced such a run." She said she was still dissatisfied.
He glanced at Mu Lianlong, drank the water in the water bag, and then handed the water bag to him politely, "Here you go."
Hearing Xia Ziying's words full of dissatisfaction, Mu Lianlong smiled and said, "Okay, don't be angry. You shouldn't have been here on this trip. I pulled you down. If it's weird, blame me.
!" After that, he stood up, took the water bag and walked towards the distance, stood at a relatively high place and looked around.
They had already arrived outside the customs. There were Gobi beaches everywhere, and occasionally there was an oasis, which was as green as a gem set in a stone. They looked absently at the direction with the snow-capped mountains of the Western Regions in the distance for a long time.
Seeing his absent-minded look, Xia Ziying forced herself to stand up, walked over, and followed his gaze. She saw an endless horizon in the distance, but suddenly a big mountain appeared in front of her, blocking the way. She had been standing there just now.
I was running without noticing it, so I asked curiously: "Is that mountain a snow mountain?"
After Mu Lianlong heard this, he turned around, looked at her, and gently touched her head with his hand, "Fool, that is the watershed between the Central Plains and the Western Regions. After passing that mountain, there is the Western Regions."
Well, the Western Region is no different than our Central Plains. There is a miasma of poisonous snakes everywhere, and the most terrifying thing is the bewitching spell they have set up, so the road ahead will be more difficult for us, so you have to be mentally prepared."
"Ah? Are you scary as you said? Did you scare me on purpose? Let me tell you, I am not scared. I have always been very strong." Xia Ziying was not afraid at all and said boldly, but
My eyes never left the tall mountain. I kept complaining in my heart that this mountain seemed to have an altitude of no less than 3,000 meters. It would be hard enough to climb this mountain, let alone
There was also the viper miasma behind, which made me even more frightened! But in front of him, she remained as strong as ever.
"Are you really not afraid? I can't tell. I didn't expect you to have such courage. You are really a woman!" Mu Lianlong said jokingly.
"That's right, even though this girl looks weak, she actually has steel-like perseverance deep inside her heart." Xia Ziying continued to pretend.
"Haha, you are as strong as steel deep in your heart? Then let me see if you can." After saying that, he laughed evilly, staring at Xia Ziying's high bulging chest, looking at it non-stop.
"What do you want to do?" Xia Ziying reacted immediately, folding her hands across her chest and saying nervously.
"Haha, look at how scared you are. I just said something casually and scared you out of your wits with your steely perseverance. Besides, if I had meant it, in the wilderness here, no one would come back even if you screamed till your throat was broken.
Save you." Mu Lianlong laughed and stared at her with a malicious look on his face.
Indeed, as he said, this place is outside the customs, inaccessible, and no one appears. He asked weakly, "Don't force yourself to come. If you really want to, you must... let me... be mentally prepared."
Xia Ziying said weakly. At this moment, she had figured out that asking for help in the wilderness was useless. Besides, she had been possessed by him before. It didn't matter if she did it again now. Just let him be gentle.
.
"Fool, what are you thinking about? We are in a hurry right now. There is no time to think about anything else. Pack your things quickly and we are ready to go!" After that, he knocked Xia Ziying hard on the head and turned around and walked to Shuan Shuan.
A place for horses.
When Mu Lianlong said this, Xia Ziying suddenly felt ashamed, and her face turned red with embarrassment. She stared at the tall and muscular figure with resentful eyes, and said fiercely: "Huh, just pretend.
, what a hypocrite.”
"What did you say?" Mu Lianlong suddenly turned around and asked.
"Oh, I didn't say anything, I just said that I can't see that you are really a gentleman." Xia Ziying suddenly had a clever idea and changed her words.
"Okay, stop talking, pack up and set off. There's still a long way to go." After saying that, he helped Xia Ziying up, then got on his horse and galloped forward.
After running for a long time, they reached the foot of the mountain. The two of them looked at the towering mountains and couldn't help but gasp. Although they had been mentally prepared when they came before, they really waited until this time.
When I saw it, I couldn't help but feel a little scared. This mountain stood straight up like the beginning of the world, lying between the Central Plains and the Western Regions.
