Ji Lingxue pushed Xiao Yichen away, turned to look at Mo Bai who was touching his nose and carrying a basket, then turned to look at Xiao Yichen and asked, "How did you know I was here?"
She was deeply moved by the coincidence of the hero saving the beauty. As for Xiao Yichen, they had never had any tacit understanding, let alone telepathy. She had never given Xiao Yichen any secret signals, so how did he know that she was in the mountains of Beiling when he was in Dongqi
Bai Mo said, "Oh... that... We heard that the flower of snow grass can cure all kinds of poisons, so we came here to look for it. We didn't expect to meet the princess here."
The implication is: they just came to join in the fun, but unexpectedly they ran into them being attacked by wolves and unable to resist.
Ji Lingxue twitched her lips, and suddenly grabbed Xiao Yichen's hand and said, "By the way, when you came here, did you see the perverted third prince, that Yuchi Gongru?"
Xiao Yichen nodded and said, of course he had met her.
Time goes back a quarter of an hour...
Xiao Yichen and Bai Mo heard the wolf's miserable howl at the same time. Out of curiosity, he and Bai Mo used their Qinggong skills to quickly reach the top of the snowy mountain. Looking down from the top of the mountain, they had a clear view of the scenery below.
They quickly locked onto the bloody scene halfway up the mountain. Six men in black were besieged by a pack of wolves. The ground was littered with wolf corpses and blood. Even though they were at a high place, they could still smell the faint scent of blood.
Bai Mo was a person who loved to watch the fun, so the two of them went down to the snow-covered cedars halfway up the mountain. Yuchi Gongru was fighting fiercely with the leader wolf, who was also a smart one. He looked up and commanded his wolves to besiege Yuchi Gongru and his companions. Wolves are vengeful and murderous by nature, and they wanted to take revenge after seeing so many of their companions die.
Bai Mo watched the werewolf fight below with great interest. Xiao Yichen glanced around and saw two black heads huddled together discussing something behind a snow-covered rock not far away. Suddenly they turned around and ran away. At first, Xiao Yichen did not recognize Ji Lingxue.
Yuchi Gongru, who was in the wolf pack fighting, seemed to sense something. He glanced and saw Ji Lingxue and Lian Xin taking advantage of the chaos to escape. His heart sank and murderous intent appeared in his eyes. He jumped up, kicked the wolf leader in front of him away, and turned to chase in the direction where Ji Lingxue and the others fled.
Xiao Yichen pulled Bai Mo and landed in front of Yuchi Gongru. Yuchi Gongru's body stiffened, probably because he did not expect Xiao Yichen's speed of chasing them, and that they could still be found in the vast mountains.
Yuchi Gongru and Xiao Yichen looked at each other. Yuchi Gongru was observing whether Xiao Yichen had brought the army. After exchanging greetings with him for a while and seeing nothing else, Yuchi Gongru didn't waste any more words and started fighting directly.
After all, Xiao Yichen was full of energy. After twenty rounds, Yuchi Gongru did not gain the upper hand, but he did not want to fight any longer, thinking that as long as he had the life, he would not be afraid of running out of firewood.
Yuchi Gongru smiled and said, "Prince Chen, do you still want to see your princess? I have been with the princess these days, but I don't know if there is
How pleasant." If you can't beat the opponent, it's good to gain some advantage verbally.
Xiao Yichen's eyes turned cold. His guess was right. Ji Lingxue was not dead. He didn't expect that Yuchi Gongru, the third prince who had returned to Dayan early, had kidnapped her again.
Xiao Yichen sneered and said, "I feel that you, the Third Prince, will not have a happy life in the future..." He has always been a vengeful person, and he will get back at those who offended him a hundredfold.
Yuchi Gongru felt a chill on his neck instantly. "Prince Chen, there are many wild wolves in the mountains. Your princess is probably in danger. Why do you still want to tangle with me here?"
After saying this, Yuchi Gongru smiled, waved his hand, leaned forward, and fell towards the cliff on one side.
Bai Mo stood at the edge of the cliff and looked down to estimate the depth of the cliff. He curled his lips and said, "This cliff seems to be quite high. Your Majesty, do you think he will be okay if he jumps down like this?"
Xiao Yichen said: "Yuchi Gongru's Kung Fu is unfathomable. This level is nothing to him. Let's go and find Xue'er."
Don't chase a desperate enemy. He had no intention of chasing Yuchi Gongru back.
Bai Mo tightened the strap of the backpack on his shoulder and quickly caught up with Xiao Yichen.
Coming back to his senses, Xiao Yichen pinched Ji Lingxue's cheek. Ten days had passed, and the girl hadn't lost any weight, but he had lost a lot of weight due to his loss of appetite.
Ji Lingxue raised her hand and slapped Xiao Yichen's hand away. Then she remembered that Lian Xin was still beside her, and quickly introduced her: "Let me introduce you, this is Lian Xin, the herbalist involved in the missing girl case in Beijing."
Xiao Yichen's eyes lit up, and he understood something instantly, "So, the murderer of the missing girl in Beijing is really Yuchi Gongru?"
Ji Lingxue blinked, "So the prince knew about it?" She had been so excited for so long because she had solved an unsolved case, but it was all in vain.
Xiao Yichen nodded, "Since you were kidnapped, another case of a faceless female corpse occurred in the capital. After that, it was calm for more than ten days. No girls disappeared, and no serial faceless female corpse cases appeared."
Ji Lingxue stared into Xiao Yichen's eyes and joked, "Your Majesty, when you saw the second faceless female corpse, were you sad? Did you think I was dead?"
Xiao Yichen turned his head to look at Ji Lingxue and said expressionlessly, "No."
He would never admit how ugly his expression was and how angry he was when he saw the corpse wearing Ji Lingxue's clothes.
He did not allow anyone to mention that Ji Lingxue was dead in front of him. Even when Ji Yuqing asked about it, he glared at her and said firmly, "Ji Lingxue will not die."
She was not allowed to die without his permission.
Ji Lingxue: “…”
Your Highness, your answer is very straightforward. It's nothing. Are you not sad or upset, or do you not think I'm dead
Xiao Yichen looked at the sky, coughed and said, "Let's go down the mountain."
Ji Lingxue said, "Wait a minute, Lian Xin said that where there are wolves there must be treasures. Now that we are all here, let's take a look together?"
Bai Mo said, "Oh, really? This place is not far from the wolf's cave. Let's go take a look."
So, Ji Lingxue took Lian Xin and Bai Mo and walked up the mountain. Xiao Yichen saw that no one responded to him, so he took Ji Lingxue's hand with a dark face and walked forward quickly.
Bai Mo was chatting with Ji Lingxue about what happened after being kidnapped by Yuchi Gongru, but before Ji Lingxue could finish her words, she was pulled away by Xiao Yichen.
Bai Mo blinked and looked speechlessly at the backs of Xiao Yichen and Ji Lingxue walking away side by side. Is it necessary for him to be so protective of his wife? Can't he even ask a few more questions
Bai Mo turned his head to look at Lian Xin beside him. Although Lian Xin was wearing a coarse linen shirt and had the simplest braid, her facial features were very pretty, with long and thin eyebrows, a pair of eyes like stars and bright moon, and a delicate nose, giving people the feeling of a girl next door.
Bai Mo introduced himself, "My name is Bai Mo, Miss Lian Xin, can you tell me how you were kidnapped?" He was very interested in this case of serial disappearances of young girls that had been unsolved for a month.
Lian Xin smiled politely and said, "This is what happened..."
Xiao Yichen, who was walking in front, saw that Ji Lingxue was wearing thin clothes, so he took off his cloak and put it on her.
Ji Lingxue felt warm, turned her head to look at Xiao Yichen who looked unhappy and asked, "Aren't you cold?"
Xiao Yichen said, "I am a man, I have a strong body, and you have cold hands and feet. Let Bai Mo take good care of you when we return to the capital this time."
Ji Lingxue nodded obediently. Although Xiao Yichen really wanted to ask Ji Lingxue about what had happened in the past few days, he thought that asking this would undoubtedly make Ji Lingxue recall unpleasant things, so he decided to hold back.
Xiao Yichen didn't ask, and Ji Lingxue didn't take the initiative to talk about the days when she confronted the perverted Yuchi Gongru. She had already made up her mind that one day, she would settle the score.
The two quickly found a wolf's den. Xiao Yichen asked Ji Lingxue to wait there while he went in first to explore the way.
Ji Lingxue was drawing circles in boredom. Bai Mo and Lian Xin caught up with her. Bai Mo asked, "Where is the prince?"
Ji Lingxue pointed to the cave beside her and said, "Let's explore the way inside."
As soon as Ji Lingxue finished speaking, Xiao Yichen walked out and said, "Let's go." There were no wolves or strange creatures inside.
Covered in ice and snow, the wolf den was exceptionally warm. After entering the cave, he discovered a different world inside. Xiao Yichen took out the night-shining pearl and saw the scene in the cave at a glance. There were lime pillars standing in it, which looked a bit like a karst cave.
There were a lot of gravel and bones on the ground, which seemed to be left behind by the wolves after they caught and ate their prey.
Going deeper into the cave, he could still hear the echo of his footsteps. Suddenly, there was a flash of white light. Xiao Yichen raised the night pearl in his hand and looked up. He saw a stone platform at the deepest part of the cave. On the platform, a transparent flower was blooming. When illuminated by the light of the night pearl, it refracted white light.
Bai Mo stepped forward to study it excitedly, "Haha, there really are white and transparent flowers, Princess, it turns out you are not completely making it up."
Three black lines slid down Ji Lingxue's forehead. It turned out that Bai Mo and Lian Xin had just been together. She had told Bai Mo everything. As a genius doctor who had read countless medical books, he naturally knew that there was no flower of snow grass in the world that was colorless and transparent.
"Beautiful, so beautiful..." Bai Mo murmured in admiration. He was attracted by the ice flowers and reached out to touch the petals.
"Don't touch it!" Xiao Yichen frowned and shouted. This flower was so strange, he was afraid that there was something fishy about it.
But Bai Mo didn't realize that these words were directed at him. He still touched the flower and then turned around to look.
He turned his head and touched the flower almost at the same time, so he didn't see that a gray object as thick as a finger suddenly stretched out from the core of the flower, and then drilled into his palm at an extremely fast speed!
Even Ji Lingxue and Xiao Yichen, who were watching, only saw that the thing was silver-gray in color and had a very pointed head.
"Be careful!" Lian Xin exclaimed, his face pale.
Xiao Yichen and Ji Lingxue had no time to stop it, because they did not expect that the thing would actually go directly into Bai Mo's hand. By the time they reacted, the thing had already completely sunk into Bai Mo's palm.
Bai Mo frowned and raised his hand to look at it, "What just happened?" There was nothing on his palm except some dust.
