"don't want……"
Xie Lingqin suddenly opened her eyes. The campfire had gone out, and the surroundings were warm and cold. It was still the same cave, and she was reaching out to grab at the air with her bare hands.
She didn't know what she was trying to catch.
Who is that boy in my dream, and why does he look so much like Yuwen Yao?
Or perhaps she's just being foolish, loving too deeply.
Xie Lingqin raised her hand and frowned, glanced around, got up and walked outside. As soon as she took a step, she raised her hand again and looked at it. Her ten fingers were pale and translucent, and you could even see the blood flowing through them.
...
In the woods where the camp was set up in the frigid land, Tingfeng and Tingyu stood outside the prince's tent, looking at each other in silence.
The atmosphere was tense.
Before them stood Yuwen An, his gaze darkening. "I'll ask you one more time: where did he go?"
Hearing and listening to the rain, I remain silent.
"You won't tell, huh? You think I can't guess? You just want to see him die, huh..."
As soon as he returned, Yuwen Yao disappeared.
Yuwen An's emotions were already unstable; once he got angry, he would lose control. His palm was already moving, about to strike Tingfeng and Tingyu.
However, Tingfeng and Tingyu remained motionless, standing there silently.
In an instant, all the murderous aura and killing intent receded.
Yu Qingyi appeared, grabbing Yuwen An's arm. "Do you want to kill them?"
Yuwen An looked at Yu Qingyi.
After resting for a few more days, Yu Qingyi's complexion improved somewhat, but his arm, it is said, could still only move slightly. Looking at him now, his eyes were sharp and powerful, and there was no smile in his peach-colored eyes.
"You should know what he's trying to do. You ruined his plans, and he didn't blame you, so you should know that too."
Yu Qingyi glared at Yuwen An, both rebuking and warning him.
Yuwen An's eyes remained gloomy for a long time before he slowly retreated. "I know, so I drove Qi Rufeng down the snow mountain and wiped out his people."
Yu Qingyi lowered his eyelashes slightly. "I will stay here. You must return to the capital, as Yuwen Yao."
Yuwen An did not respond.
“Tingfeng and Tingyu will follow you. Only your departure can bring them peace. After all, Duanmu Rong is still watching us closely. The Southern Qi and Northern Rong could clash at any moment. The barbarians have now been completely subdued by Zhuidamu. With his speed and efficiency, he will soon be ready to launch another attack. We can’t say for sure where he will strike.”
Yu Qingyi's analysis was spot on. Yuwen An looked at him for a long time, then suddenly smiled. Although he had the same facial features as Yuwen Yao, his temperament and his smile were different from Yuwen Yao's.
If Yuwen Yao's smile was charming yet cold, then Yuwen An's smile could only evoke thoughts of gloom.
"After all these years, I finally understand why you and Yuwen Yao, despite your vastly different personalities, could become such good friends, so loyal that you would risk your life to save Xie Lingqin for him."
Yuwen An smiled, his demeanor unusually gentle.
“You are indeed not just a playboy who only knows how to eat, drink, and have fun.” After saying this, Yuwen An looked at Tingfeng and Tingyu, raised his hand, and said, “Let’s go, set off immediately, and return to Beirong.”
"Yes, Your Highness."
The terms "listening to the wind" and "listening to the rain" have been changed.
In the wind and snow, as dusk fell and the air grew colder, Yu Qingyi looked up at the distant horizon and then called out to those behind her, "Yuanyang, is there any news from Zhuidamu?"
"Your Highness, I have learned that a few days ago, Zhuidamu sent people to look for Miss Xie. It was not out of hostility, but because of An Shangning."
silence.
Yu Qingyi then looked across at the campsite, which was neither too close nor too far away.
There, the cloth curtains fluttered in the wind, but Nan Fenghuang was nowhere to be seen.
"Tell me, is your princess thinking of me right now?"
Yuanyang remained silent for a moment, then said, "Your Highness, I heard that the princess is here, but we have not been able to find Miss Lingqin for a long time. General Shen of Southern Qi arrived an hour ago."
"Sinking Abyss?"
"Yes, that's right, it's the one who has had a crush on the princess since childhood."
...
At this moment, as the sky darkened, Xu Shixun felt even more confident. With visibility reduced in the dark, he would be more likely to succeed.
"There, right there."
Xu Shixun suddenly pointed ahead, to the very spot where she and Xie Lingqin had lost their rabbit and encountered the snow wolf.
In the blink of an eye, as Li Qingyu and Yuwen Qingyue walked past, Xu Shixun suddenly took out a small stone that he had been hiding in his sleeve and slashed it at Li Qingyu's back.
However, Xu Shixun underestimated Li Duanyu and Yuwen Qingyue's vigilance.
"ah."
Xu Shixun recoiled in pain, bright red blood flowing down the back of his hand and dripping onto the snow.
"Hmph, you want to hurt me? Where is Xie Lingqin?"
Li Qingyu roared angrily.
“Right there, didn’t you see the footprints? They’re the ones left when she was buried.”
As Xu Shixun spoke, he desperately retreated, saying, "It's okay, his blood is fine too."
"Even if it's a corpse, we have to dig it up. We can't let you die so easily."
Li Qingyu frantically dug at the snow on the ground, and Yuwen Qingyue were focused on finding Xie Lingqin. They didn't notice that a normal person should stop the bleeding at this time. However, Xu Shixun did not. Instead, he activated the little bit of internal energy in his body, making the blood flow out faster.
The faster it flows, the stronger the flavor.
so……
"Aww—"
When Yuwen Qingyue and Li Qingyu realized that there were no corpses there at all and turned around, they were inexplicably terrified. The sound was enough to make even a master shudder.
