Xiao Yifeng and I didn't stop all the way, and finally arrived at the Imperial City of Ice Kingdom on the fifth day.
Looking at the high city wall, I felt a little emotional. When I left, I said I would never come back, but now I have come back. I just don’t know if I can escape unscathed in the future after coming back this time.
Raising the riding whip and preparing to enter the city, Xiao Yifeng grabbed me and said in a serious tone: "Wait, something is wrong?"
After hearing this, I looked at the city gate. It was still the same as before. There were a few soldiers guarding it, and people came and went at will without checking. I couldn't see anything wrong? I turned sideways and asked: "What's wrong? What's wrong?
?”
Xiao Yifeng's eyes darkened slightly, and her voice was a bit chilly, "The people guarding the city have changed?"
I turned my head and looked straight at the city gate. I had never paid attention to this in the Ice Kingdom before, so I couldn't see anything wrong. But seeing Xiao Yifeng's solemn expression, I couldn't help but be more vigilant.
Xiao Yifeng sat on the horse and looked at the people going in and out. I don't know what he was thinking at this moment? But I felt helpless in my heart. At that time, I left without hesitation. Now, I want to get in.
!
I began to wonder who wanted to kill Xiao Yifeng? I remembered that Luo Zixuan said that Xiao Yichen was involved in politics... was it him? Probably not, he promised me to let go. And I believe in my heart that he is not such a despicable person, even if
If you want to, it will be obvious. Besides, the man in black wanted to kill me that day. If it was Xiao Yichen's arrangement, how could he kill me?
The look on the man in black's face when he looked at the three of us came to mind... I was shocked. Could it be that someone wanted Xiao Yichen to replace Xiao Yifeng? There are only two princes in the Bing Kingdom. If Xiao Yifeng dies,
Of course, the future emperor will be Xiao Yichen... It turns out that others had already started the plot, but I only realized it after the hindsight.
Who is the person who wants to push Xiao Yichen to that position? Will Yichen waver in his determination? I vaguely smell the smell of conspiracy, and now I am also involved, but I don’t even know who the other party is.
I don’t know! I’m a little upset thinking about it.
Are rights so desirable? So many people want to get them by any means necessary.
Haven't they ever thought that in the process of gaining and at the time of gaining, what they lost was far greater than what they gained?
"Let's find a place to rest first and then think of a solution." Xiao Yifeng interrupted my thoughts.
I nodded, and there was nothing else I could do now. I turned around and glanced at the city gate... I was very reluctant to leave! There was only a wall, but it was a thousand miles away!
The white clouds change into various wonderful postures under the blue sky. Occasionally, a few birds pass by, flying and playing on the branches not far away.
I had no intention of admiring such a beautiful scenery. Xiao Yifeng and I sat by a small river and stared at the sky in a daze. Next to us, two white horses lowered their heads and gnawed on the grass, snorting out some nasal noises from time to time.
Suddenly, Xiao Yifeng stood up and looked at me thoughtfully. I felt a little uncomfortable when he looked at me.
After a long while, I saw him take out a jade pendant from his waist and said to me: "Take this to General Cheng Yang or Deputy General Cheng Xun in the General's Mansion in the city. They will find a way to see me."
I glanced over and saw that the jade pendant had a dragon pattern embroidered on it.
I was secretly surprised. Isn't this the prince's military talisman, Longteng Jade, that Xiao Yichen said? Why would he believe me? You have to know that my current identity is Xiao Yichen's lover. What if Xiao Yichen has something?
Thoughts, I took his jade and made it easy for him not to turn over!
I stood up and didn't reach out to pick up the jade pendant. I just looked at Xiao Yifeng, trying to see something in his eyes. And if I took the jade pendant, I might not be able to help him because I didn't necessarily see the city gate.
Just go in. The man in black wanted to kill me, and I fell off the cliff with him. If I showed up, they would not miss the fact that Xiao Yifeng is still alive.
Xiao Yifeng saw that I was just looking at him in a daze and not picking up the jade pendant, so she urged: "Take it! It should be me they are looking for, you won't attract their attention."
When I heard this, I smiled bitterly... He forgot that I was being hunted with him. Alas! What should I say? Looking at his eager eyes, I asked: "Why do you believe in me so much? With my
Identity should be avoided now. You must know that if I betray you, you will have no chance to stand up?"
Xiao Yifeng probably didn't expect that I would ask this question so frankly. She looked at me intently for a long time before saying, "I believe you, because your eyes are clear and transparent, and there is no desire in them... If I was mistaken,
, that means God is going to kill me." Then he put the jade pendant into my hand.
I originally wanted to tell him that even if you gave me the jade pendant, I wouldn't be able to get in. But when I heard him say this, I felt as heroic as a strong man who cut off his wrist. I took a deep breath and thought of it as the sacrifice you suffered for me.
Dao, let’s make a bet for Xiao Yichen and I’s future! In my heart, I don’t want Xiao Yichen to be the emperor, otherwise there will be thousands of miles of distance between us!
After I made my decision, I started thinking about how to get in. At first, I wore women’s clothes in the Ice Country. The only time I wore men’s clothes on the street was during the Ice Lantern Festival, and not many people knew about it. Later, they sent me a royal list, and I was also the woman in the painting.
.If I change into men’s clothing, will I have a better chance of passing the test?
It's better to give it a try than go in like I am now.
I patted Xiao Yifeng's shoulder and said, "Take off your clothes and give them to me?"
Xiao Yifeng was stunned and asked: "What? Take off your clothes?"
"I plan to go in wearing men's clothes, not to molest you." I saw Xiao Yifeng's face turning red, and I quickly added, fearing that he might have misunderstood.
When Xiao Yifeng heard what I said, a trace of embarrassment flashed across his face, and he took off his robe and gave it to me. I walked to the river, tied my hair into sideburns, put on Xiao Yifeng's robe, and got on the horse.
Enter the city.
"Be careful. If it doesn't work, don't be brave. I will think of other ways." Before leaving, Xiao Yifeng pulled the reins and said to me, with undisguised worry in his tone. I didn't say anything, but nodded firmly.
Head, whip and leave.
When I got to the city gate, I got off my horse, but I still couldn't see any signs of danger behind the surface calm. Maybe I wasn't used to such flattery and deceit. It seemed that I had always been indebted to Xiao Yichen, and
Xiao Yifeng owes me! He shook his head and led his horse forward.
Although I have changed my clothes, I still feel a little bit guilty about being a thief. People in ancient times are not polite, and it is commonplace to kill first and then show off. I am worried, and the hand holding the reins is shaking a little.
But the result was beyond my expectation. I was just like those who came in and out, and I was not questioned. Could it be that my dress confused their eyes? I was a little complacent.
