Chapter 473 [Love Security]
"What are you two idiots doing?!"
Jiang Lili helplessly watched the two stupid wolves tie her and Xin Che up like dumplings.
Hearing Jiang Lili's scolding, the two wolves not only did not stop, but became even more excited. After tying the two people together, they ran forward together.
“Eh—”
Jiang Lili and Xin Che were dragged down together. She lost her balance and fell forward.
Xin Che hugged Jiang Lili tightly, changed direction in time, and cushioned himself under Jiang Lili. The two fell into the snow together.
Jiang Lili fell on Xin Che, and the tip of her small nose touched the broken snow on Xin Che's clothes.
Xin Che's warm fingertips brushed away the glistening snow on the tip of her nose and asked softly, "Did you fall anywhere?"
Jiang Lili shook her head and struggled a few times to get up.
However, the traction ropes wrapped around the two of them were tightly binding them, and Jiang Lili couldn't get up. She simply gave up and nestled in Xin Che's arms.
The two snow wolves were strangled by the stretched leash, and then turned back, gathering around the two of them, pushing their furry heads against Jiang Lili, jumping around vigorously.
"Go away, go away, you are so annoying."
Jiang Lili weakly used her palm to push the head of the two wolves, Erha. If these two wolves were in modern times, she would rent them out to pull a sled and let them experience the feeling of working!
Seeing that Jiang Lili was extremely annoyed by the two big guys and looked as angry as an anxious rabbit, Xin Che chuckled.
When Jiang Lili heard Xin Che's chuckle, she immediately turned around and glared at him. As if in revenge, she stuffed her cold little hand into Xin Che's collar and pressed it against his neck.
Seeing Xin Che wincing at the coldness of her icy hands, Jiang Lili's eyes lit up as she gave him a triumphant smirk, "Let me gloat over your misfortune."
Xin Che could almost see a fox's tail wagging arrogantly behind Jiang Lili. He felt helpless and amused: "Why are you repaying kindness with enmity?"
As he spoke, he tilted his head and held Jiang Lili's palms tighter to warm her hands, and then used both hands to cover Jiang Lili's slightly red face from the cold.
Jiang Lili noticed that her frozen face was quickly warming up. She blinked and asked curiously, "Why are your palms so warm?"
"Probably because of years of martial arts training."
Xin Che held Jiang Lili's face and caressed her soft cheeks affectionately with his palms.
Jiang Lili lay on Xin Che, and their eyes met. Jiang Lili could clearly see the snowflakes hanging on Xin Che's eyelashes.
The man had a smile on his face, his thin lips curled up slightly, and her reflection was reflected in his dark pupils.
She just lowered her eyes and looked at him, snowflakes flying like goose feathers, landing on their heads and shoulders.
The surroundings are active and silent, and strands of ambiguity are coming like snowflakes.
Jiang Lili's pair of almond-shaped eyes are naturally beautiful. When she lowers her head and looks at people, her pupils are full and shallow, just like ripples in autumn water, which makes people feel itchy. But she is still unaware of it, and her eyes are full of innocence.
Black hair reflects the snow, and red lips are soft and tender.
Xin Che's Adam's apple rolled slightly, and he withdrew his hand that was covering Jiang Lili's face.
The heat source left all of a sudden, and Jiang Lili's face followed Xin Che's hand unconsciously. She was feeling a little dissatisfied, and the next moment, Xin Che's big hand grabbed the back of her head, and his thin lips pressed against her soft lips.
The temperature quickly became hot, and the cold snow turned warm. When it touched the skin of the two, it quickly melted into snow water.
The two snow wolves still wanted to make trouble for Jiang Lili, but were nailed to the spot by Xin Che's eyes. They stood quietly like two sculptures, staring at each other, acting as love security guards.

The emperor's study.
Zhang Yuan's immediate superior, the highest-ranking official in the Dali Temple, Dali Temple Minister Lu Sui, contracted the case of his investigation to the emperor.
"Your Majesty, rest assured. Those involved in the case are either dead or ill in bed, unable to speak a word. We handled this matter perfectly."
"Alright, prepare for the day tomorrow. The morning after tomorrow, you will supervise Zhang Yuan and make public the evidence of the Zhaoping Marquis's treason case and the embezzlement of military funds to the people."
Emperor Qingning broke out in a cold sweat.
Half a month has passed, and it's still snowing on Linlang Street!
Fortunately, the weather was hot and the flying snow melted into snow water before it fell to the ground. Otherwise, the accumulated snow would have definitely filled up Linlang Street!
God is really against him.
Is it really that he was punished by God for what he did?
Emperor Qingning didn't know why, but he still felt uneasy.
He didn't believe in ghosts and gods. After all, he sat on the throne by stepping on the corpses of many cannon fodder.
But this strange snow made him feel uneasy for the first time, and an inexplicable fear and worry arose in his heart.
After the news spread.
At dawn on the third day, the gate of the Dali Temple in the capital was already crowded with people. Countless people were eagerly waiting for the Dali Temple to announce to the world the proposal made by the Zhaoping Marquis Mansion that year.
By the time written on the report, the Dali Temple was already surrounded by crowds of people, and some people even climbed onto the walls of houses near the Dali Temple to wait and see the result.
At the hour of Si, Zhang Yuan, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, walked out of the main gate of Dali Temple wearing his official robe, while Lu Sui, the Qing of Dali Temple, stood in front of the main gate of Dali Temple with 20 constables, separating an open space to prevent any accidents so that they could react at any time.
In addition to these detectives in public, the emperor arranged for Hou Xiaoxiao's grandfather, the General of Cavalry, to secretly lead a team of people to disguise themselves as civilians and lurk among the crowd of onlookers to prevent any unexpected visitors from disrupting the public announcement of the case.
Faced with such a large scene, Zhang Yuan remained unmoved. He cleared his throat and said loudly, "Fellow villagers, please be quiet."
"Half a month ago, snow fell on Linlang Street. Everyone was saying that there was an injustice at the Zhaoping Marquisate. I, Zhang Yuan, was entrusted by the people to thoroughly investigate the Zhaoping Marquisate's conspiracy and embezzlement of military funds case. I have carefully sifted through the evidence from that time."
Zhang Yuan nodded at Lu Sui.
Lu Sui waved his hand, and the criminals who had kept the evidence were carried out of the Dali Temple one after another.
"Back then, the Northwest Army was short of food and clothing. Someone sent a secret letter to Your Majesty, accusing the Zhaoping Marquisate of embezzling 300,000 taels of military pay from the Northwest Army. Later, an investigation by the Minister of Revenue uncovered detailed records of embezzlement in the Zhaoping Marquisate's account books. At the same time, a joint complaint signed in blood by the Northwest Army was also presented to the Emperor."
"The account books clearly record that these 300,000 taels of military pay were used by the Zhaoping Marquisate to purchase private armor, manufacture weapons, and raise private soldiers."
As Zhang Yuan was speaking, the clerk who was showing the evidence to the public was flipping through the account books that served as evidence. Another clerk was also showing the public the blood-written joint complaint of the Northwest Army.
"Now, please call for the witness."
Officials escorted three people with black sacks on their heads out of the yamen.
Dali Temple Minister Lu Sui looked at the three men wearing black sacks on their heads and felt confused.
