Nalan Jingxue stood motionless with Su Rui in his arms like this, and it was not until the two white-clothed servants of the Burning Heaven Palace returned that he slowly let go of his arms.

One of them dragged a large pile of firewood, and one of them carried four dead rabbits in his hands.

The two servants moved quickly, and in a short time they were angry with a large bonfire, and one of them took out the pot from the backpack dragged behind the carriage and put a lot of snow racks on the fire to boil.

The fire in the middle of the wasteland dispelled the endless darkness a little.

"Come and sit." Nalan Jingxue said to Su Rui. His expression was restored to his previous appearance, so Suri was not surprised at all, he was a moody person.

Suri walked over.

There was such a big bonfire lit here, so it wasn't so cold.

Suri watched as the snow in the pot melted away and turned into water, and the servant used the snow water that had been boiled in the pot to rinse the four rabbits.

"How long will it take to get to Rouran?" Suri asked.

"How did you know I was going to take you to Rouran?" Nalan Jingxue wasn't surprised that Su Rui could guess his destination. After getting along with each other for the past few days, he found that she was extremely smart.

"You took me all the way to the west, not hesitating to pass through the gourd pass where the two armies exchanged fire. If it weren't for taking me to Rouran, your hometown, I can't think of any other place worth your hard work. Su Rui smiled faintly, "The Burning Heaven Palace also has a palace in Rouran, right?" You told me that you took me back to the Burning Heaven Palace, this road was obviously not the way to the Ling Heaven Palace. I've read the notes in Sikong Jin's study, and one of them is a travelogue, which mentions this place. ”

"Clever." Nalan Jingxue complimented.

"Are you going to hand me over to your majesty? Or ......" Su Rui asked in a slow voice after a pause.

"You are my Nalan Jingxue's wife, I will not hand over my people from the Burning Heaven Palace into the hands of others." Nalan Jingxue snorted and said, "It's just to take you to meet some people." ”

"Oh." Su Rui didn't bother to ask anything more, she just nodded lightly, "You are very short-sighted." ”

After Su Rui finished speaking, he stretched out his hand and approached the fire to bake.

"What else does that travelogue you read say about it?" Nalan Jingxue suddenly asked.

"The book says it's full of danger." Suri recalled the description in the book and said, "It's winter, and everything is hidden in the snow and ice, but there are countless fierce beasts here that haunt the night. In the summer, when the snow melts, it becomes puddles of water and swamps, and you don't know which one of your feet will fall into the mud and you will be stuck in it. Because it is inaccessible all year round, there is still a poisonous miasma here, and if people inhale it, they will die. Anyway, normal people wouldn't walk through this wasteland lightly. Only caravans, under the protection of the convoys, will cross the continent in the early winter season. But this wasteland is not entirely without benefits. At least it has been peaceful between Rouran and Hu Guo for many years. ”

Rouran's cavalry had to cross the wasteland to plunder the Hu Kingdom, and it took enough time and energy for them to sweep back and forth on the border of Dajin many times.

This is the main reason why the three countries all border, but only Daikin and Rouran have been fighting.

After Su Rui finished speaking, she found that Nalan Jingxue was looking at herself intently, she raised her hand and touched her cheek, because of the bonfire, her face was very hot, the firelight dyed her cheeks a layer of crimson, her eyes were clear and bright, and there were two flames surging during the period, and the bonfire was reflected in her eyes.

"Did the book say that this is still a place of exile?" Nalan Jingxue asked slowly.

Su Rui was slightly stunned, "No." She shook her head.

She looked around for a moment, then said, "If this is a penal colony, I don't think many people will survive." If he can survive, it is estimated that such a person is either extremely vicious or extremely intelligent. "Under such harsh conditions, it is very difficult for even modern people to survive, let alone in ancient times.

"Indeed." Nalan Jingxue nodded, and then never opened her mouth again.

Su Rui's heart suddenly flashed with a hint of clarity, could it be that Nalan Jingxue stayed here? Was he exiled here?

She looked inquiringly at the man sitting next to her.

The firelight outlined his perfect side, as light and beautiful as a mountain elf, but his eyes were dark and deep, making it impossible to see his thoughts and joys. His long hair actually reached his waist, and those few strands of silver were mixed in the long inky hair, which added a bit of vicissitudes and mystery to his beautiful face.

What a beautiful man. Such a person is not only a woman who will fall in love at first sight, but I am afraid that a man will also shake his heart when he sees it.

"Enough of it?" Nalan Jingxue knew that Su Rui was looking at herself, and it took him a long time before he slowly spoke, "How am I born?" ”

Su Rui was embarrassed and hurriedly withdrew his gaze.

She originally wanted to say that she was neither male nor female, but forget it, he has been good to herself these days, and she still doesn't carry it with him.

"It's beautiful." Suri is telling the truth, he is not beautiful and not human. Not handsome, not handsome, not beautiful. Although the meaning of these three words is to praise others, the artistic conception is completely different.

"Do you like that?" Nalan Jingxue looked back and asked calmly.

Yes? Suri is embarrassed again, this ......

"I don't like someone because of how he looks." Su Rui still expressed her meaning very tactfully.

"But if you don't look good, it's hard to make people like it." Nalan Jingxue said, "Just like you before." ”

Su Rui was stunned.

"What do you have to tell me this?" Suri diverted the subject.

"It's boring." Nalan Jingxue said.

All right. Uncle, you won! Suri sneered, and she looked to the side, the two white-clad servants had cleaned the hare and put it on the branches.

"Since it's boring. Just find something to do! Su Rui stood up, walked over, picked up two rabbits, and then handed one to Nalan Jingxue, "No, do it yourself." Don't count on anyone else. ”

Nalan Jingxue hesitated for a moment, but still stretched out her slender fingers to hold the branch.

It was on this campfire that Suri roasted rabbit meat in the wild for the first time.

It turns out that this is a technical afterburner...... Su Rui thought brightly. A rabbit weighing several pounds is getting heavier and heavier in the hand for a long time, and it has to be constantly flipped to avoid baking.

The rabbit was not cooked, but Suri heard a wolf howl.

There are wolves here! Well, it's not surprising, this is a wasteland area, and the travelogue also says that there are wild beasts here.

Then there were a few wolf howls one after another, and Suri couldn't sit still.

The pain of fighting with the snow wolf before is still vivid, and listening to these howls, one after another, obviously not from the same wolf. It's a pack of wolves!

Su Rui looked at Nalan Jingxue, but he sat quietly as if he hadn't heard anything.

I don't know why, his composure is like a reassuring pill, and Su Rui gradually became calm.

"You're not afraid?" Nalan Jingxue asked slowly.

"You're there. Don't be afraid. Su Rui replied casually.

Nalan Jingxue turned her eyes to look at Su Rui in surprise, and Su Rui gave him a blank look, "If you want me to die, you won't work so hard to save me." Besides, I have just borrowed a hundred thousand loads of grain from you, and if you call me dead now. Isn't it a loss of both people and money? ”

Nalan Jingxue tugged at the corner of her lips, "Then what if there are more than wolves in this wasteland?" There are other things you've never seen before, are you afraid? ”

"Ghosts?" Suri asked. "Afraid! But I didn't do anything wrong. The ghost won't come to me. ”

Then she swept Nalan Jingxue with her gaze, and said in her heart that you may not be.

"Have you been to the cemetery?" Nalan Jingxue asked.

"Uh, this ......" Does a modern crematorium count? Su Rui thought about it and shook his head.

"There's a chance to take you." Nalan Jingxue laughed, and that smile was like a phantom lotus blooming in the ice and snow.

Perverted!

Su Rui cursed in his heart, and then there was a continuous wolf howl in his ears, which seemed to be much closer to them.

"There really are wolves coming." Suri reminded that he sat as steady as Tarzan, and didn't seem to have the wolves in his heart.

Suri had already seen a faint green glow flickering in the darkness, a reflection in the wolf's eyes, and the faint green was getting more and more coming from all directions.

Suri also smelled the wind that seemed to bring the smell of the beast. The horses pulling the carriage were already neighing uneasily, pacing their hooves in place, trampling the ground, giving warnings, and the sound of horses' hooves and neighing through the dark moor made people feel even more hairy.

Strange to say, although the wolves surrounded Suri and the others, they did not dare to approach. Suri didn't think it was because of the campfires.

Animals' intuition is very keen, and the reason why they don't dare to approach is because they have found something even more terrifying than them, Nalan Jingxue.

Suri suddenly felt the temperature around her rapidly decrease, as if the heat generated by the bonfire had been completely drained.

She was surprised to see that Nalan Jingxue's hand gradually had a snow-white ice sword formed by condensing the surrounding water vapor with internal force.

This is still a human being!!

Suri's first reaction was this.

The sword slowly grew in his palm, condensed rapidly, and continued to grow like a living being, so weird that Su Rui almost bit his tongue!

His hair fluttered slightly behind him, and his beautiful face seemed to be covered with a layer of frost, and in the firelight, his face was almost transparent, and his eyes changed suddenly, and he could not see the slightest temperature, only endless darkness and bone-chilling cold, which seemed to be deeper and more distant than this wasteland.

"You...... Are you okay? Suri couldn't help but ask.

The pair of ice-like eyes only glanced at Su Rui, and his body spread out like a great peng, rising from the ground, and the silver-gray clothes flashed in front of Su Rui's eyes, drawing a bright color in the night sky, and then disappeared into the darkness.

Suri stood up, and in the darkness that the light of the campfire could not reach, the silver-gray figure suddenly appeared like lightning, and then disappeared suddenly, he was like a ghost in hell, so fast that Suri couldn't see it clearly.

In my ears came the wails of the wolves and the sound of swords cutting flesh.

The dotted green gradually disappeared, and a thick bloody smell came from the wind, which made Su Rui retch.

After a long time, the silver-gray figure reappeared in front of Su Rui's eyes, the ice sword in his hand had been completely dyed blood-colored, and the wolf blood condensed layer after layer on the sword, and the blood-colored ice sword was crystal clear and flashing with a strange luster.

The man holding the sword was not bloody, clean as if nothing had happened, but his eyes were gloomy and cold, and the cold light revealed endless killing intent and unapproachable indifference.

Is this Nalan Jingxue after the killing?

Su Rui quietly looked at the man standing in front of him, and suddenly felt a little sad in his heart, he looked like a lone wolf in the wasteland, full of loneliness and fall, after the killing, what was left in his heart?

After a while, Su Rui asked slowly, "Are you okay?" This was the second time she had asked him.

He just looked at Su Rui indifferently, his eyes were cold, Su Rui was a little annoyed, this person was so moody, so unappreciative, what did he care about him? It was thankless, and besides, what he had done to him before was unforgivable.

But he still saved himself after all.

Su Rui bit her lip and patiently asked again, "Are you alright?" She saw that the sword made of ice and snow seemed to cover his entire hand in the ice and snow, and his flesh and skin loomed in the crystal clear, and she exclaimed, "Aren't your hands cold?" ”

"If I'm cold! What are you going to do? Nalan Jingxue stood with cold eyes, and after a while, he slowly spoke, his cold tone made people feel that Sen Sen's chill was covered in his bones, and he actually smiled after he finished speaking, that cold smile was extremely cruel.

Su Rui's eyes faded, she let out a long sigh, took the initiative to open her arms, and slowly approached Nalan Jingxue, her arms wrapped around his narrow waist, "You said I was warm." She said slowly.

In fact, Su Rui didn't know why she was like this, she felt that if a person hadn't encountered something, he wouldn't be born so weird.

Anyway, he has been hugged by him in the past few days, and he has hugged him countless times.

Why don't you take the initiative to hug him once.

His body was cold to the bone, and the cold air transmitted from that side made Su Rui shiver, as if she was hugging a living cold jade bed.

Damn, is this still human? After Su Rui hugged it, there was only this one sigh in his heart!

There was silence all around, Nalan Jingxue's body shook slightly, and he slowly lowered his eyes to look at the woman who took the initiative to hug him. The steady heartbeat was a little unstable at this time.

She was really warm.

The ice sword in his hand melted in the heat of the campfire, falling from his hand and falling to the ground, shattering into blood-red shards with a thud.

His gaze was like the ice sword, gradually melting, the darkness in his eyes gradually faded, he hesitated for a moment, raised his arm, and hugged the woman attached to him again.

If many years ago, he had such a warm embrace, is his life different now?

Nalan Jingxue quietly looked at Su Rui's hair and let out an almost inaudible sigh.
