Bai Furong just tilted her head back, letting the wind and snow hit her already pale face, even her eyelashes were covered with snow. The cold sword on her neck was icy cold, but it couldn't cool her half-dead heart.
"You are incompetent if you can't find him. If the news is wrong, then the Ninth Prince has leaked false news to me intentionally. Now there are two possible outcomes. One, you are stupid; two, my identity is exposed. You don't have to look at me like that. I am not afraid of death. Even if you kill me with a sword, it will only be one more corpse in this desolate mountain. I will do everything I can and say everything I can say. As for my father, if I, Bai Furong, really can't protect him, then I can only say that this is his own destiny. Who told him to meet that woman and who told them to give birth to me. Karma in the world is cyclical, and retribution is repaid. Whether we women live or die in the end is all up to God's will."
She lowered her head, her face showing sorrow, but her next words were filled with extreme confusion: "I heard before that the King of Qianzhou loved her very much. If I was really the daughter she lost many years ago, why would I be treated like this now? He didn't take me back and pamper me, but instead made me do these unscrupulous and extremely dangerous things. It's really ridiculous."
The more she spoke, the colder her words became. In the end, she smiled coldly, "Go ahead and kill me. It's better for me to die. I won't have to live this hard anymore. Tell your master that in this life, I only want to be Bai Furong. I don't care about the Qianzhou royal family."
The two men remained in a stalemate until the cold sword was covered with half a finger of snow. Finally, the sword slowly turned back, and the man in black softened his tone and said, "The master loves you very much, but now that Dashun and Qianzhou are about to fight, he is anxious. Since you said that she returned to the capital of Dashun, let's go back and look for her. You continue to stay in the army to investigate, and be sure to write down anything suspicious." After saying that, he flashed away, and the message was in the snow.
Bai Furong remained in her original position without moving, just sitting in the snow, her heart beating, obviously overly nervous.
Bai Ze hid behind a tree, listening carefully and looking in all directions, and finally made sure that the other party had completely left. Then he flashed out and ran quickly towards Bai Furong.
When Bai Furong heard someone running towards her, she was startled all over. She thought that the man in black had come back again, and subconsciously shouted, "You've already gone away, why are you back?" When she turned her head, she saw Bai Ze who was already beside her.
She stood there in a daze, her mouth still open, her face still with that ferocious expression of despair, but her heart suddenly began to beat wildly, a feeling of fear even more than before quickly came over her, and she gasped for breath in fright.
She subconsciously stepped back, and as she moved, she felt a sharp pain in her sprained foot. The pain was so severe that cold sweat broke out on her forehead, but she still endured the pain and continued to step back, as if Bai Ze was a ferocious beast that would eat her if he got any closer.
Bai Ze looked at the woman in front of him, and the distressing feeling came back. He calmed himself down and tried to look normal, then asked Bai Furong: "Are you possessed? Are you sleepwalking?" As he spoke, he returned to his usual arrogant look, with sword-like eyebrows raised and arrogant.
Bai Furong was stunned, she slowed down her backward movement and stared at him in a daze.
"Tsk tsk." Bai Ze looked at her with disdain, "Why are you sitting in the snow in such a cold weather? You don't even need to sit down to take a shit!"
As soon as these words came out, Bai Furong exploded immediately - "Get out! Do you still have any shame? How can you talk like this in front of a girl? And you are someone close to His Highness, how come you haven't learned any of His Highness's noble demeanor? Get out! Get away from me!" Although she was yelling, the fear and depression in her heart were immediately alleviated a lot.
Bai Furong thought, it was fortunate that the person she found was the thick-skinned Bai Ze. If it were someone else, I'm afraid that just based on what she said just now, it would arouse suspicion, right?
Bai Ze was relieved when he saw her expression ease up. At that moment, he was really afraid that this girl would be too nervous and bring up the matter again, and the negotiation would fail. Then he would have to play the bad guy and escort the person to His Highness. Even if His Highness already knew about this matter, he could still protect her when they knew it tacitly. Once the window paper was lifted, this person would be dead for sure.
"You may not be that old, but you have a big temper." Bai Ze rolled his eyes at her. "I was just joking with you. Do you think you're being chased by a wolf? I came to pick you up out of kindness because I saw you've been out for so long and didn't go back. I walked halfway up the mountain before I found you. Bai Furong, Bai Furong, I only knew that our princess was too wild and hard to control. I didn't expect that the women who hang out with her are all really outstanding women. Your ability to make people worry is no less than that of the princess's ancestors." He said as he pulled Bai Furong. "It's really nice that you sit on the ground in such heavy snow. Is it that hot?"
Bai Furong was so angry that she shook her hands vigorously: "Don't pull me! If I could get up, would I have to sit here? If I hadn't sprained my ankle, would I have stayed away for so long? You have a conscience and still came out to look for me. I was prepared to sit here all night in case all the soldiers in the camp discovered that Princess Ji'an was missing the next day." At this moment, Bai Furong was extremely grateful that she sprained her ankle when she fell, otherwise it would have been difficult for her to pass Bai Ze's test.
Little did they know that one of them was lying despite himself, while the other was willing to be lied to, so they hit it off immediately.
Bai Ze's heart tightened again, and when he spoke again, his voice was much softer. He said, "Since you sprained your ankle, you need my support. Otherwise, if you can get up by yourself, why are you still sitting here? Come on -" He stretched out his hand again, "Get up, I'll hold you and walk."
Bai Furong's heart moved, as if the cold wind blew snowflakes into her eyes, making her eyes sore from the cold.
She casually wiped some water on her face, grabbed Bai Ze's hand and tried to stand up. This time, she stood up, but when she tried to walk, she found that it was not as good as she imagined. Her left foot seemed to be swollen, and the shoe was so swollen that it was tight on the top of her foot. It was so uncomfortable that she couldn't walk, and it hurt when she stepped on the ground.
Bai Ze noticed that something was wrong with her, lowered his head to look at her feet, and his brows were twisted into a knot.
"It's swollen like a steamed bun, and my shoes are about to burst." He sniffed, "Forget it, I'll let you take advantage of me and I'll carry you on my back."
Bai Furong knew that this was not the time to show off her strength. Not to mention whether it would alert Xuan Tianming if she returned too late, the black-clothed man had just left not long ago. If he came back again, all her efforts would be wasted. So she nodded, watched Bai Ze squatting with his back to her, and unceremoniously lay on him.
Bai Ze stood up and lifted the person up, then said as he walked, "You're so heavy. I don't know what you eat. How did you gain so much weight? People say that girls should be slim and light. How can you get married?"
Bai Furong twisted his ear and said, "Anyway, I didn't eat anyone, and I won't marry you anyway, so why do you care if I sink or not?"
"I'm just thinking about the future son-in-law of the Bai family! You said you eat too much. What if he doesn't like you in the future and takes a courtyard full of concubines? What will you do then?"
"Don't all men have concubines?" She snorted. "I don't care. Why do you worry about it?"
Bai Ze told her: "That's because you haven't met the person you like yet, so you say you don't care. When the day comes that you fall in love with a man, you will be furious even if another woman appears by his side." Bai Ze spoke in a very clear and concise manner, analyzing the situation carefully for Bai Furong like a love expert.
Bai Furong started to giggle, rising and falling on his back, and a soft touch touched Bai Ze's back, very light, so light that you couldn't feel it without careful feeling. The feeling was very subtle, Bai Ze's ears turned red, and he spoke more gently than before. He asked Bai Furong: "What are you laughing at?" The voice was very light, and Bai Furong was also distracted for a moment.
But she quickly returned to normal, shook off the inexplicable thoughts in her mind, and said to Bai Ze: "I laugh at you, you act like an experienced person, and you know everything. Is it because there are too many girls around you, and someone is jealous?" Somehow, when talking about this topic, Bai Furong suddenly felt that her words also had a sour taste. She began to get nervous about her analysis just now, as if she was afraid that Bai Ze would nod, and quickly added: "But you follow His Highness every day, so you don't have the time."
Bai Ze seemed to have heard something, the corners of his lips rose unconsciously, and then he said honestly: "Of course I didn't, I heard this from the princess. She said that if our prince dared to find another woman, she would kill one if she found one, and she would chop off a pair if she found two, and then she would chop off your prince as well. Tsk tsk, you don't know, our princess is very fierce."
"Yes." Bai Furong also nodded with a smile, "Ah Heng is right. If I could meet such a person, I would definitely say the same thing." The spirit that had just soared dimmed again the moment she finished speaking. Does she still have this opportunity and qualification? This journey is like walking on the edge of a knife. I am afraid that once she reaches the North Realm and this matter is exposed, her life will end.
Bai Furong didn't want to talk anymore. She tightened her arms around Bai Ze's neck and laid her little face on his shoulder, looking helpless.
Bai Ze didn't say anything else. He lifted the person up again, held him tighter, quickened his pace, and even used some light skills to run straight towards the camp.
Song Kang showed Bai Furong her injured foot. Although others didn't know that she was pretending to be Feng Yuheng, Song Kang couldn't hide it. After all, he was Feng Yuheng's apprentice. If Feng Yuheng was really there, how could the two of them not have communicated throughout the whole process?
Song Kang was very smart. He did not ask Feng Yuheng what had happened. He treated Bai Furong's injuries with all his heart. He only asked Bai Ze in a low voice when he returned to the camp, "My master... won't be in danger, right?"
Bai Ze patted his shoulder and said, "Don't worry, His Highness won't let anything happen to her."
Xuan Tianming sat at the other end of the sleeping tent, his arms folded in front of him, watching all this indifferently, but his mind had already drifted far away, drifting to the snowy northern border, drifting to the dead girl that he dreamed of holding in his arms...
