Chapter 105: Beili Wolf King x Central Plains Prince 41
Xiao Jintian's eyebrows jumped, "What did he do?"
"Your Highness went to Lanyu Tower today, but left again after dinner. I just sent someone to ask, but Your Highness wasn't there either."
Xiao Jintian immediately strode towards the stable, and Yin Wu subconsciously followed him.
He was holding Qian Zhou's gloves in his hand, and Xiao Jintian saw it.
"Did he buy this for you?" Xiao Jintian's tone was not very good.
Yin Wu quickly waved his hands, "No, His Highness threw the gloves to me this morning."
Xiao Jintian narrowed his eyes, his gaze was extremely sharp, he looked at Yin Wu and said:
"Did he also build the snowman behind the house?"
Yin Wu didn't think much about it and said, "Well, His Highness goes to play in the snow behind the house every day and only comes back when his fingers are frozen red."
It turned out that all those words before were just to coax him. Xiao Jintian clenched his fingers and snapped them, wanting to know where the person was.
When I opened the door, Zhuifeng was not there.
In the Wolf King's Mansion, apart from Xiao Jintian, Qian Zhou is the only one who can ride away Zhuifeng. What is he doing?
"My king, do you want to send someone to look for him? It's already dark."
Xiao Jintian said: "No need, wait for him for a while."
Qianzhou is not a girl, so she doesn’t need to go look for her just because she comes back late. Xiao Jintian sat under the eaves with a gloomy face.
Only then did Yinwu realize that he seemed to have said something wrong and left silently.
Outside the capital, Qian Zhou looked up at the stars in the sky.
He was digging the soil with a shovel in his hand. He was so tired that he was panting and leaning against the wind to rest.
"Zhuifeng, please walk slower for a while."
Qianzhou stood up, carried the small wintersweet tree that he had thrown out with its roots on his shoulder, and slowly climbed onto the horse's back.
Zhuifeng lowered his hind legs a little, waiting for him to come up.
"So good, so good."
Qianzhou rubbed Zhuifeng's black mane roughly, put on the hood of his cotton robe, changed his posture and placed the wintersweet tree in front.
He moved very carefully, as he had been searching for a long time before finding it.
After thinking about it, he couldn't think of any gift to give to Xiao Jintian. The Wolf King naturally had everything he needed, so Qianzhou wanted to go out and find a branch of wintersweet.
The wintersweet tree had too many branches, which pricked Qianzhou so much that he leaned back and his chin turned red.
[System 052: This wintersweet tree is half your height]
Qianzhou: I've been looking for a long time.
[System 052: Why don't you take a look at where you've been?]
Qianzhou looked at the dark forest around him. There was no light and no one.
“…”
"Zhuifeng, you know the way, right?"
——
"Your Majesty, His Highness has not returned yet."
The servants packed up and prepared to rest, the stove in the kitchen was also extinguished, and Xiao Jintian sat at the table.
The desk was filled with documents, but Xiao Jintian didn't read any of them.
He exhaled, lit another candle, looked up at the dark night outside the window, and his heart sank.
This is the coldest time of the year in Beili. If the remaining poison in Qianzhou has not been cleared and it breaks out again, what should I do if I lose my sight?
After a while, Xiao Jintian suddenly stood up.
He put on his silver armor, took his long sword, and ordered, "Go and get a horse."
"Yes." Yin Wu replied.
Most of the households in the capital had closed their doors. Xiao Jintian rode his horse to the city gate, holding a candle.
"The Third Prince? I saw him leaving the city today."
Xiao Jintian frowned and asked, "Which direction did you go?"
"In the woods north of the city, my lord, he's riding your horse."
"There are many wild animals in the woods north of the city. Could something have happened?"
Xiao Jintian remembered what Yin Wu said, that Qian Zhou had not carried any weapons when going out recently.
His heart was suddenly pulled, and just as he was about to order the soldiers to go out and look for someone at the city gate, he saw a huge black shadow approaching not far away.
The shape is unknown, it has bared fangs and claws, and it wobbles when approached.
Xiao Jintian put his hand on the hilt of the knife, bent down and concentrated, and instantly entered the combat state.
Several soldiers came running over, holding up their rifles, "My goodness, what the hell is this..."
The strange-looking thing walked out of the shadows, and Xiao Jintian finally saw that it was a person hugging a wintersweet tree. After looking at it more carefully, he was suddenly speechless.
"You left town in the middle of the night just to come back with a tree?"
Qian Zhou's arms were already tired, so he stuffed it into Xiao Jintian's hand and immediately looked down at him, "This is the wintersweet I gave you. I've been looking for it for a long time. Look, it's already in bud."
Xiao Jintian's expression changed. He looked down at the dotted flower buds and found that there was still dirt on Qianzhou's cotton robe.
"Just when it was about to bloom, you dug it up by the roots."
Qian Zhou brushed off the dirt on Zhui Feng's back, raised his eyebrows and said, "I'll make it open for you to see."
Qianzhou was riding on the horse. Xiao Jintian had no choice but to hold the wintersweet tree in one hand and the reins in the other hand to lead him back.
Xiao Jintian's heart swung around dangerously, then landed safely again.
"You're lost, aren't you?"
Qian Zhou glanced at him sideways and said, "Yes, thanks to Zhui Feng."
"Is it time for it to take a bath?" Qian Zhou asked.
Xiao Jintian handed the lantern to Qianzhou and said, "If it doesn't let Dongtian wash it, it will get angry."
Qian Zhou leaned over and looked into Zhui Feng's eyes. "So are you going to stay dirty until spring?"
Zhuifeng snorted, glanced at Xiao Jintian sideways, and ran a few steps ahead of him with Qianzhou.
"Xiao Jintian!" Qian Zhou smiled and turned around. The warm light of the lantern reflected on his face, which looked very handsome.
It was not yet the twelfth lunar month, but Xiao Jintian seemed to have already smelled the fragrance of the wintersweet flowers.
The winter in Beili doesn’t seem to be that cold anymore.
When Xiao Jintian walked back to the mansion, he saw the majestic black horse being chased by Qian Zhou, passing by him like a gust of wind.
However, in the yard, Qianzhou was still faster. The way he jumped onto the horse's back and held the reins tightly reminded Xiao Jintian of the days when he tamed Zhuifeng as a child.
At that time...his father seemed to be standing in this position.
At this moment, Qian Zhou was thrown off the horse by Zhui Feng and fell heavily on the snow pile.
Xiao Jintian put down the wintersweet and walked forward to take a look.
Zhuifeng felt something empty on his back, so he stopped to look. Qianzhou was lying motionless in the snow. Zhuifeng swung his tail and moved closer to sniff.
Xiao Jintian looked at Qian Zhou, who was lying on the snow, and blinked at him.
Qian Zhou climbed back onto the horse the moment Zhui Feng approached, hugged Zhui Feng's neck, and said with a smile, "You've been fooled!"
Zhuifeng was so angry that he raised his horse's hoof. Xiao Jintian immediately raised his arm, and with a bang, he was kicked right in the face.
Xiao Jintian licked his fangs with the tip of his tongue, and the arrogance he had when he confronted Zhuifeng was no longer there for a long time.
So before the New Year, Zhuifeng was cleaned from head to toe. At the beginning of the twelfth lunar month, the Wolf King's Mansion began to prepare for the New Year's banquet.
Xiao Jintian was still thinking about letting Qianzhou ride on the white horse.
But when he asked the question, the horse owner came to deliver the message tremblingly.
"Horse...I think I need to change the horse..."
Yin Wu hurried over, "My king, I have something important to report!"
"The Central Plains people don't admit what the delegation did, saying there were traitors sneaking in! They knew we were having a New Year's banquet and said, said..."
Xiao Jintian frowned, "What?"
"Their prince is willing to come to Beili to apologize."
