The wind is freezing and the snowflakes are falling.
In front of Shenwu Gate.
Li Zhong was wearing old and faded eunuch clothes with gray hair. He stood alone in the wind and snow, motionless, like a stone sculpture.
His head, shoulders, and clothes were covered with white snow.
The city gate guards and soldiers behind him all looked at him in surprise.
Although these young guards and soldiers did not know him, as warriors, they could clearly feel the difference in this old eunuch.
He stood there, without any warrior wind surrounding him, without any protective air shield to isolate the wind and snow outside. He looked thin and old, but his figure was as solid as a rock, without even the slightest tremor.
.
Anyone, including warriors, will have a slight tremor no matter how they stand as long as their heart beats.
What's more, he is old and has stood in the wind and snow for so long.
The warrior's eyesight is very sharp, and at such a close distance, any of his movements can be clearly seen.
But it had been several hours and they hadn't seen it.
What made them even more incredible was that in this kind of weather, when each of them breathed, they would exhale a faint white air from their noses. However, the old eunuch did not exhale after standing in the wind and snow for so long.
Any breath.
All these situations show that this gray-haired old eunuch is not simple.
The generals and soldiers did not dare to be careless.
When the eldest princess' sedan carriage appeared, they all looked at each other with concentration and immediately tightened their weapons in their hands to prevent the old eunuch from doing something terrible.
But what surprised them was that the moment the old eunuch saw the eldest princess's sedan chair, he bent down and lowered his head. His momentum was gone, like an old tree that had been bent by the strong wind.
They all break and fall down, which makes people feel quite sympathetic.
The cold wind whimpered.
The white snowflakes flew in the wind, swirling on the ground, refusing to fall into the dust, but in the end they couldn't struggle, fell down, and were crushed into pieces.
The fiery red sedan chair stopped in front of Li Zhong.
There was silence on both sides.
The guards and soldiers at the city gate immediately bowed and saluted.
There was silence for a long time.
The eldest princess's cold voice came from inside the sedan: "Li Zhong, are you here specifically to wait for me?"
Li Zhong lowered his head and said respectfully: "Yes."
The eldest princess asked: "What's the matter?"
Li Zhong said respectfully: "After the old slave went back last night, he took a nap and dreamed of the late emperor. The late emperor told the old slave to take a good look at His Highness and His Majesty. Therefore, the old slave came here early in the morning and waited.
Your Highness, this old slave is just a lowly slave, he can’t care about other things, he just wants the late emperor’s spirit in heaven to see that the family is harmonious and reunited.”
"Your Highness, can you do it?"
There was silence in the sedan chair for a while, and he said in a cold tone: "Of course I can do it. But I don't know about other people."
Li Zhong bent down deeply and said: "As long as His Highness can do it, I will feel at ease."
After saying that, he bowed and stepped aside, and added: "Today is New Year's Eve. I hope Your Highness will come back early to have a New Year's Eve dinner with the Queen Mother and Your Majesty."
There was no more conversation in the sedan chair.
The guards gathered around the sedan chair and stepped out of the arch through the snow.
Li Zhong stood bowed in the wind and snow for a moment, and then he slowly straightened up after the eldest princess's sedan chair was far away.
"Woo——"
The cold wind howled.
To the surprise of the guard general and the soldiers, the old eunuch who had just been standing in the snow had disappeared in the blink of an eye.
The fiery red sedan chair is particularly eye-catching in the snow.
In the sedan, Nangong Huoyue slowly spread her slender and straight legs, letting him step out from under her skirt, pretending to be indifferent and said: "He has indeed noticed you a long time ago."
Luo Qingzhou said softly: "He also discovered it just now?"
Nangong Huoyue said: "Naturally."
Luo Qingzhou's heart trembled and he said: "Is the Grandmaster realm so powerful?"
Nangong Huoyue said with far-reaching eyes: "When you reach the realm of master, you will naturally understand. Although it seems that there is only one breakthrough between the realm of master and the realm of late great martial artist, the skills and strength of the two are different.
It’s a world of difference.”
Luo Qingzhou's heart suddenly surged, he should be close too!
After a pause, he continued: "Your Highness, what he said just now should have other meanings, right?"
Nangong Huoyue was silent for a moment and said calmly: "He is asking me to promise that no matter what happens in the future, he will not..."
At this point, she suddenly stopped, kicked him with her foot, and said coldly: "There is no inspection ahead, you can come out."
When Luo Qingzhou heard this, he immediately wanted to get out of the cave, but after thinking about it, he huddled there without moving, and said: "Your Highness, it is better to wait until you enter Prince Duan's Mansion later, and then go directly to the underground."
The sedan chair is not very big. If he came out at this time, he could neither sit with her nor stand, but could only squat at her feet...
Moreover, where is his gaze directed?
It's already very embarrassing now. Wouldn't it be even more embarrassing if we went out and met the eldest princess' eyes?
At least now the two of them don't have to look at each other, which eases the awkward atmosphere a little.
Nangong Huoyue moved her long legs under her skirt, tugged on her red skirt, looked down at him and said, "Why, you can't bear to come out?"
Luo Qingzhou said quickly: "Of course not. It's better to be safe here, so as not to have to get in again if we encounter an emergency later."
Nangong Huoyue put down her skirt and said coldly: "Whatever you want."
The sedan chair swayed gently and moved forward slowly in the wind and snow.
They left the palace smoothly and headed towards Prince Duan's Mansion.
When they arrived at Prince Duan's Mansion, Prince Duan had already received the news and was waiting at the door with his family in advance.
Seeing the eldest princess's red sedan coming from the alley, Nangong Xiaorui immediately ran over happily and shouted crisply: "Sister Huoyue, what good things did you bring to Xiaorui? If Xiaorui doesn't like it,
Don’t want Xiaorui’s Xuantian Jade Girl Tree Morning Dew.”
Nangong Huoyue was sitting in the sedan and was about to speak when Nangong Xiaorui had already run up to her and said excitedly: "Sister Huoyue, Xiaorui also wants to sit in your sedan, is that okay?"
Nangong Huoyue's face stiffened slightly, then she moved her legs to the middle position, pulled open the hem of her skirt, kicked the lower part with her feet, then with a slightly red face, she gently separated her feet and calves in the red skirt.
Luo Qingzhou, who was hiding underneath, understood immediately and quickly got into her red skirt again, calming down his breath.
"Wow!"
Just as he was hiding, the sedan curtain suddenly opened.
Nangong Xiaorui, dressed in the wind and snow, entered the sedan with a cheerful smile.
From behind came Prince Duan's doting scolding: "Xiao Rui, why are you so rude? Your sister Huoyue hasn't agreed yet."
Nangong Huoyue could only say: "Uncle Wang, it's okay, this sedan can seat two people."
Nangong Xiaorui sat directly next to her, twisted her butt, and exclaimed: "It's so soft and comfortable."
Then he stretched out his head, sniffed her body, and said, "Sister Huoyue, you smell so good."
Nangong Huoyue smiled faintly and said, "Are you ready for the morning dew?"
Nangong Xiaorui tilted her head and said, "So, has Sister Huoyue prepared the gift for Xiaorui?"
Nangong Huoyue said: "Of course I'm ready."
Nangong Xiaorui smiled and said, "Of course Xiaorui is ready."
Prince Duan said with a smile on his face outside: "It's windy and snowy outside, Huoyue, please come into the house and talk."
Yueying led several guards, surrounded the sedan chair, went up the steps and entered Prince Duan's Mansion.
Then, he placed the sedan chair in the front yard.
Nangong Xiaorui twisted her buttocks a few more times on the soft bed, then took Nangong Huoyue's hand and said: "Sister Huoyue, let's go, Xiaorui will take you to see some good things. Daddy just brought them back to Xiaorui.
.”
Nangong Huoyue paused, then gently kicked the fallen man with her feet under the red skirt, telling him that she was leaving.
Luo Qingzhou hesitated for a moment, then stretched out his finger and lightly touched her foot in response.
The moment his fingers touched his feet, Nangong Huoyue's body suddenly trembled.
Nangong Xiaorui blinked her big eyes and asked doubtfully: "Sister Huoyue, what's wrong?"
Nangong Huoyue stood up and said with a normal expression: "It's okay, it seems a little cold outside."
Hearing this, Nangong Xiaorui said with surprise on her face: "Is Sister Huoyue also afraid of the cold? I heard from my father that Sister Huoyue's whole body has been hot since she was born, and she has never been afraid of the cold."
Nangong Huoyue opened the curtain and walked out, saying: "I'm not afraid of the cold, but I can feel the cold."
The two sisters talked and gradually walked away, surrounded by Prince Duan and others.
There was soon no sound around the sedan chair.
Luo Qingzhou waited for a while, and then took out the jade rat. Just when he was about to activate his earth-moving skills, a cold voice suddenly came from outside: "There are people following you outside. It's best to leave the city before coming out from the ground."
.”
Luo Qingzhou was stunned for a moment and said: "Thank you Miss Yueying."
After a pause, he added: "I didn't mean to offend last night, but please don't take it to heart."
Yueying held the sword and stood alone in the wind and snow outside. Her eyes moved when she heard this, and when she was about to speak, she said in the sedan: "Farewell."
After saying that, they left and the sedan was empty.
Yueying was stunned for a while, then walked up the front steps and stood under the eaves, motionless.
Luo Qingzhou used the Jade Rat to quickly enter the underground and began to shuttle quickly outside the city.
He encountered some formations along the way, but he passed through them easily.
When passing through the wall of the inner city, he found that there were people guarding the ground. He spent some effort and passed through from other places.
As for the underground of the outer city, it is naturally unimpeded.
When he left the gate of the outer city, he was very fast. When he was at the pavilion ten miles outside the city, he came out of the ground.
By this time, night had fallen.
The sky is gray, snowflakes are falling, and everything is white.
He felt relaxed and happy as if he had been reborn.
It’s finally out!
Tonight is New Year's Eve. There must be many people waiting for him at home by the Yunwu River.
Chapter completed!
