Chapter 30: The Death of Snow Lotus
Xue He painted the portrait himself, without a trace of mercy, it seems that he is determined to arrest her back.
Otherwise, as long as the painting is a little rough, others can't see the difference, Tong Xiaoye can make up at will, and he can escape the catastrophe.
It's just that I don't know what kind of temptation can make my sisters for many years resolutely betray themselves.
Is it silver, a man, or something else?
Thinking of the true feelings in Xue He's eyes before parting, Tong Xiaoye grabbed his hair angrily, feeling that his head was a little insufficient, and people who had lived for more than 20 years were still so naΓ―ve.
"Fool, the woman in Qinglou is unreliable, and fortunately we didn't leave with her in the first place."
Ning Yuan held her in his arms and comforted her softly, Tong Xiaoye didn't like his statement, and couldn't help but retort: "But whether it is unreliable has anything to do with whether it is a Qinglou woman, the Qinglou woman is more affectionate and trustworthy, besides, it is a matter of human life, I can't force Xue He Ning to die unyieldingly, right?" β
Ning Yuan smiled: "Silly girl, then why are you unhappy?" β
"Even though I know that people have selfish intentions, but this kind of thing happens to me, I am always a little unhappy, I always wonder if I am not good enough to let Xuehe do this."
Tong Xiaoye scratched his hair, and said to himself: "But no matter how good I do, I can't let Xuehe lose his life to protect me!" If I were to be myself, maybe I would choose to protect myself. β
Tong Xiaoye rolled in entanglement and helplessness, and it took a long time for her to fall asleep, but Ning Yuan, who had been holding her, had some insomnia.
For so many years, I have always hated my friend who couldn't be saved when he saw death, is it too harsh.
He lowered his head and looked at the almost flesh-and-blood ring on his little finger, lost in thought.
Tong Xiaoye wore a cotton skirt with light yellow flowers, two braids hung down on her chest, long bangs covered her forehead, Ning Yuan also trimmed her eyebrows and brought a pair of silver lilac earrings, and the whole person instantly became a little girl from an ordinary rural family, and she no longer looked like a small girl before.
She swaggered past the notice, commented on the notice, and turned her head to make a grimace at Ning Yuan, but Ning Yuan gently pinched her cheeks: "Don't laugh, show your stuffing!" β
Sure enough, there was a strange gaze looking over, Tong Xiaoye stuck out his tongue, and followed Ning Yuan away.
When I left the town, there were officers and soldiers guarding the city gate.
"Brother, it's good that Xuehe hasn't seen you, otherwise we would be unlucky." There was no danger out of the city gate, Tong Xiaoye patted his chest and couldn't help but sigh.
Fortunately, at this time, the household registration system was not strict, and this place was the junction of the Dasheng Dynasty and the nomads, and the population was even more complicated, and from time to time there were arrogant aliens haunting, and the officers and soldiers did not dare to search their bodies on a large scale, and the wanted warrant only said that it was a young man with Tong Xiaoye, and the others were ambiguous.
Besides, Ning Yuan is away all the year round, and he is also elusive when he returns home, and his neighbors are not familiar with his appearance, and the notice is just a vague avatar.
Ning Yuan was very familiar with this place, and left the official road when he left the city, pulling Tong Xiaoye everywhere to find a shortcut, there were originally three days away, and they arrived outside Tongzhou City in the evening of the next day.
"Ono, let's not go into the city first."
Ning Yuan grabbed Tong Xiaoye, who was almost about to rush to the city with cheers, and lightly pointed behind him with his hand.
Tong Xiaoye was stunned for a moment before he reacted, they were being followed.
It's just that they were cautious along the way, and they didn't know when they were followed.
"Brother, it's getting dark, we might as well go to Tongzhou City first, there are many people there, and it's easier to hide." Tong Xiaoye looked at the city gate in the distance and whispered.
"Tongzhou City has been guarded by Zhenbei General Chen He a few years ago, and now many soldiers in the city are his subordinates, if we rush in, it will be like throwing ourselves into a net, I feel that the people who are following us are not the same people who posted the notices, it is better to lure them out to see."
Zhenbei General Chen He was the one who issued the wanted warrant, Tong Xiaoye felt a chill in his heart, and suddenly he didn't dare to walk around, and obediently followed Ning Yuan into the mountains and forests in the distance.
"Ono, if the situation is not right later, I will step forward to stop them for a while, you use a volley to escape, don't enter Tongzhou City first, it is estimated that we have been exposed when we enter the town, and we will meet here tomorrow night."
Ning Yuan whispered a few words and pulled her to hide behind a low mountain.
Soon, several strong men on horseback followed.
"Excuse me, is Miss Tong ahead?"
The person who asked the question was unexpectedly polite, Tong Xiaoye was slightly stunned, and he didn't know how to answer, so he heard Ning Yuan ask loudly: "The three of you followed us all the way, I don't know what to learn?" β
"Miss Tong, our son has no malicious intentions, it's just that you took a purple jade pendant with you before leaving, this jade pendant is extremely important to our son, if Miss can return the jade pendant, our son is willing to help you lift the wanted warrant issued by General Zhenbei."
Purple jade pendant?
Tong Xiaoye touched the rope around his neck, and his heart was uncertain.
This jade pendant is a souvenir given to her by Xuehe before parting, is there any other origin?
Ning Yuan's eyes moved slightly, as if he remembered something, and suddenly said coldly: "What jade pendant, we haven't seen it, if Your Excellency wants to take the opportunity to rob, you probably recognize the wrong person." β
"Brother?" Tong Xiaoye was in a hurry and shook the red rope around his neck, but was held down by Ning Yuan.
"Two, our son-in-law is kind, and I also ask Miss Tong to return the jade pendant, otherwise don't blame my brother for being polite!"
Seeing that Ning Yuan didn't admit it, the three big men were also a little anxious, and blurted out a vicious threat.
"I don't know who the three are, why should I believe you?" After hesitating for a moment, Tong Xiaoye finally spoke.
This jade pendant is what Xue He gave herself, and she knows all the guests that Xue He touches, if this jade pendant is so valuable, the only possibility is from Yan Qinghan.
Only Yan Qinghan will make Xue He choose to betray himself.
After all, most of the time, true love is better than a qinglou woman.
"The owner of the jade pendant is surnamed Yan, Yan Gongzi doesn't want to hurt you, please return the jade pendant to the young lady, we will not break our promise......"
The words of the leading man confirmed Tong Xiaoye's conjecture, and she glanced at Ning Yuan, intending to hand over the jade pendant.
After all, the jade pendant doesn't belong to herself, and it's useless for her to hold it, if she can let the three of them leave and lift the wanted warrant by the way, it will naturally be excellent, even if you can't, it's just a big tear face, and if you don't hand it over, you will definitely have to fight.
Who knew that Ning Yuan sneered: "This jade pendant is a gift from my sister's friend, if you want to return the jade pendant, let her come to get it in person, we will take the liberty to give the jade pendant to you, if another group of people want this thing, where will we find another piece?" β
"The woman who stole the jade pendant is dead, you are obviously a strong man, could it be that you want to rely on our son's things?"
The big man roared angrily, the knife was pulled out, Ning Yuan stopped sideways, but Tong Xiaoye pushed him away and jumped out: "What, you said Xuehe died, how did she die?" β
