Mu Beichen ignored everyone, turned his horse around, whipped it, and leaped into the air. At the palace gate where he left, Xiang Xing and Xiao Mohan rode together on a horse, following closely behind, speeding forward at breakneck speed.
The path was secluded and winding. Just moments before, there had been some signs of life elsewhere, but now, there wasn't a single person to be seen. Xiao Mohan was desperately chasing after Mu Beichen, but the distance between them was growing ever wider. Xiang Xing, in her anxiety, turned and shouted at him, "Hurry up! Hurry up! We'll lose him!"
Xiao Mohan remained silent with a cold face, his gaze fixed on the fleeting figure ahead, as if afraid that Mu Beichen would disappear from his sight in the blink of an eye.
Having served Mu Beichen faithfully for years, I believe I understand him best. Whether it's open or covert struggles or battles on the battlefield, he always manages to stay calm and composed. However, when it comes to Yu Qianqian, things become chaotic, and even the smallest matter can escalate into a huge uproar.
Xiao Mohan, who was right behind Mu Beichen, chased after him desperately, but the two remained a distance apart. Just when everything was about to settle down, something went wrong at this crucial moment. In any case, they had to be extra careful this time.
Ahead, Mu Beichen, his long black robe billowing gracefully on his horse, cracked his whip even harder, accompanied by a thunderous neighing that sent dust billowing for miles around. In that instant, he vanished completely from Xiao Mohan and Xiang Xing's sight.
"Damn it, we've lost him!" Xiao Mohan continued to chase after him, whipping his long whip. He couldn't find any trace of Mu Beichen within several miles, and looked anxious. "Master is running so fast, is he going to cause trouble for Madam?"
"You're the one who'll be in trouble! Our lady just went out for a walk to clear her head!" Xiangxing turned her face and glared at him fiercely, then turned away with a cold snort.
"If that's the case, should we still chase after them?" Xiao Mohan was immediately at a loss, and Xiang Xing decisively interrupted him before he could finish the question: "Keep chasing! We haven't even determined where the two masters are yet, what would we do if we went back?"
Hearing the unpleasant tone, he ignored it, raised his hand, pulled on the reins, and spurred the horse to gallop away quickly.
Upon reaching the end and continuing forward, they faced a fork in the road. The road to the north was the only way to the North City, while the road to the west was the only way. The road to the east led to the capital city. Mu Beichen stopped in the middle, hesitated for a moment, and then headed straight for the North City.
The northern city is hundreds of miles away, geographically remote, and spring arrives a little later than in the capital. It is already March, but there is still no color of flowers and willows along the roadside. The withered trees and branches whistle in the wind. Not long ago, there was a snowfall, and everywhere is a scene of silver and white.
Mu Beichen was wrapped in several layers of thin clothes, far from enough to keep out the biting cold. Because the weather was unusually cold, he saw almost no pedestrians on the street as he walked from the palace.
He was exceptionally tall on horseback, and the cold wind from all directions was biting, making him shiver uncontrollably. He then flipped off the horse and landed on the ground.
