After another two days, Xiao Yao finally came to Yunzhou.

Xie Fenghua didn't delay any longer, left Du Pingfei behind, and went straight to Jincheng.

The further north you go, the colder it gets. On the vast plains, there are few human settlements.

Xie Fenghua hurried away, and when he arrived in Jincheng, it was already evening three days later.

The winter weather is cold, and the north wind is gradually rising.

The streets are deserted, with the occasional pedestrian walking briskly and not knowing where to sleep in the blink of an eye. The doors and windows of every house were closed, and the people were hiding in their houses, too lazy to move around.

Xie Fenghua rode through and rushed to the east of the city.

During the few days of waiting for Xiao Yao, she asked people to write to inform Yuan Minzhou and ask where he was staying, that is, the Yuelai Inn in the east of the city.

Due to the cold weather, the door of the inn has been closed, and the lanterns hanging under the eaves have also been lit up, and the lights are warm and warm.

Xie Fenghua turned over and dismounted, and sighed his hands, only to realize that his fingers were a little stiff.

She stepped forward, knocked on the door, and saw the shopkeeper come out, first greeted her warmly, and then led the horse in her hand.

Removing her luggage from her horse, she pushed the door open and entered.

In an instant, a hot breath hit her face, and she didn't get used to it for a while, and the spirit shivered. The next moment, she paused, glanced at the charcoal fire in the corner of the room, and walked again towards the crackling shopkeeper.

Seeing that she had an outstanding temperament, the shopkeeper couldn't help but stop the movements in his hand and said curiously: "This lady, are you playing a sharp child or staying in a hotel?" ”

"Stay in the hotel." Xie Fenghua said, "Shopkeeper, have you seen ......?"

She swept her gaze, suddenly stopped, and looked at Changying, who was walking quickly downstairs.

"My subordinates have seen the young lady." Changying stepped forward, took the luggage in her hand, took two quick steps, and whispered as she led the way, "At this time, Master Hou hasn't come back yet." But thinking that you are about to arrive, I asked my subordinates to stay at the inn and wait for you. ”

Xie Fenghua snorted and asked in a low voice, "Do you know where Master Hou went?" ”

Changying said: "Master Hou is out of the city." You should be able to come back before dark. ”

With that, he ushered her into the room.

Xie Fenghua took a cursory look around, and then collapsed on the bed without a figure. After three days of non-stop travel, she was already exhausted, and suddenly relaxed, and she soon fell asleep.

In the haze, as if someone had walked in, she opened her eyes in a daze, and when she saw the enlarged face in front of her, she rubbed her eyes and said vaguely: "You're back......"

"Why don't you sleep more?" Yuan Minzhou took off his coat, lay on the bed, hugged her into his arms, and said softly, "This way, is it still smooth?" ”

Xie Fenghuaan nestled quietly in his arms, and nodded like a chicken pecking rice: "Nothing happened." It's just that it's so cold on the road that I'm about to freeze. ”

"Then I'll give you warmth." Yuan Minzhou smiled, held her hand, put it to his mouth and breathed, his eyes were so gentle that they could drip water.

Xie Fenghua touched his forehead and said with a smile: "I really should let those ministers see what you look like now." Their expressions, I guess......"

"They won't see it. Just for you. Yuan Minzhou kissed her forehead, and the fatigue of running around in the past few days had been swept away.

Before, he never thought that there was another person in this world who could decide his joys and sorrows so easily.

At this moment, thinking back to the past days, he suddenly felt a little dazed.

In a trance, it seems that I have returned to that icy snow day. He rode his horse and galloped, and when he looked at the man frozen into an ice sculpture, he immediately lost the courage to move forward.

How long has it been since you remembered those hard years?

It was so long that he thought that he had been reborn with the person in his arms!

"What's wrong?" Sensing his silence, Xie Fenghua turned over and pulled the quilt under his neck, revealing only his head.

Yuan Minzhou rubbed her hair and smiled softly, "It's nothing." It's just that I suddenly remembered something from the past. Remembering the dark days after you died. ”

Saying this, he hugged her tighter and said with emotion: "Fenghua, I'm very happy." ”

- I'm glad you're still alive.

- I'm even happier to be married to you.

This kind of lost and regained mood, every time he thinks about it, he feels like he has tasted it in the flavors of life, and those sour, bitter and spicy finally melt into the sweetness of the moment.

The so-called consummation, that's probably it, right?

Xie Fenghua let him hold him like this, and said in a daze: "Don't think about the past!" Aren't I okay now? In this life, let's have a good life! ”

Before she met him, she never knew what stability was.

In those years, I fought in the south and the north, climbed mountains, walked through water, blew in the wind, rained, were injured and sweated, but never stopped. At this moment, nested in this warm embrace, those arduous treks seem to have found a home.

This world is very warm; It's worth it to live again.

The two of them snuggled up to each other, and neither of them spoke.

There was a rustling sound outside the window, Xie Fenghua raised his head slightly, looked through the window paper, and said in surprise: "Master Hou, it's snowing outside!" ”

"Do you want to get up?" Yuan Minzhou picked up the quilt for her, and glanced out the window again, with a trace of worry in his eyes.

Jincheng is no better than Tianjing, and once it snows, it is extremely difficult to walk. If they're just here to play, they don't have to worry about that. But this time Jincheng has a lot of things, and he often goes out to run, which can be said to be worse.

Xie Fenghua didn't notice his abnormality, and his half-raised body fell straight back to the bed, muttering, "I still want to sleep for a while." ”

"Then go back to sleep." Yuan Minzhou tucked the quilt for her and said, "Don't worry, everything has me!" ”

At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door.

Yuan Minzhou glanced at the squinting person on the bed, then got up and opened the door.

After a while, he walked back and said hesitantly: "During this time, you stay in the inn first, and when I finish dealing with the affairs here, we will go home for the New Year!" ”

Do the math, it's almost the end of the year.

"What the hell are you running around? Why does it look so mysterious? Xie Fenghua curled up in the quilt, squinting slightly, like a little cat who can't sleep.

Her voice still has a misty feeling of just waking up, soft and glutinous, and the tail note hangs long, like a boudoir whisper between husband and wife in the middle of the night, which makes people's hearts ripple.

Yuan Minzhou's eyes darkened, and he nodded her nose, and her tone was full of pampering, "It's nothing more than some calculations and transactions that you come and go, and there's nothing to say......"

"I want to listen." Xie Fenghua tugged at his sleeve and insisted.

Xu knew that he couldn't resist her, Yuan Minzhou thought about it, and said, "The emperor ordered me to come over and talk about something with the Zhenguo Gong of the Northern Underworld." ”

Xie Fenghua snorted and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"Use a secret recipe to negotiate a deal with Zhenguo Gong, or exchange something!" Yuan Minzhou paused, and then continued, "You also know that this Zhenguo Duke was originally from the Northern Netherworld, and he has a pivotal position in the Northern Netherworld, and it is not easy to enter the border city of the Liang Dynasty quietly......"

"So you rushed over just to meet this Zhenguo Gong?" When it came to business, Xie Fenghua's thoughts were also active, and he quickly analyzed, "But, what is the big deal that can make this Zhenguo Duke go on this trip in person?" ”

Yuan Minzhou looked at her suspiciously, "Don't you know those unknown things in the Northern Underworld Town's Guogong Mansion?" ”

"If it is unknown, how can I know?" Xie Fenghua pursed his lips and said, "In my previous life, I had more contact with the small countries in the south and west, and I had never fought against the Northern Underworld, so it's normal to not know!" ”

Yuan Minzhou also knew that this was the reason, and immediately smiled: "I didn't say that you have to know." Every month, the prince appears in disguise in several northern cities. This time, it took me a lot of effort to find out his whereabouts. ”

Xie Fenghua couldn't help but be a little surprised.

Although she didn't have much contact with the people and things of the Northern Underworld, she had always heard of those names.

This Zhenguo Gong is also a pivotal figure, constantly disguised in and out of the Liang Dynasty city, what does it mean?

Xu saw her doubts, and Yuan Minzhou explained: "There are many anecdotes in the Northern Underworld, and one of them is about the Zhenguo Mansion. It is said that the children of the Zhenguo Mansion suffered from a strange disease, and their hair was gray, regardless of whether they were men, women, or children. In order to find a cure, the princes of the past dynasties have exhausted their life's energy. Until now, however, no useful solution has been found. ”

Hearing this, Xie Fenghua couldn't help but think of the faces of two people in his mind.

But she thought about it, and felt that the identities of those two people were too special, and they should have nothing to do with the Zhenguo Mansion.

As if thinking of something, she couldn't help asking, "So, you came here to have a way to cure their family's illness?" ”

Unexpectedly, Yuan Minzhou glanced at her, coughed a few times in embarrassment, and wanted to reveal the matter.

But Xie Fenghua had already sensed that something was wrong with him, and he insisted on pestering him, so he had to ask him clearly.

Yuan Minzhou couldn't resist her in the end, and said a little uncomfortably: "Actually, this is all the emperor's will." The emperor heard that this prince of Zhenguo wanted to break his head for the sake of whiteness, and even claimed that if anyone could help, he would unconditionally agree to a condition......"

That's a big temptation!

Xie Fenghua couldn't help but be a little curious, "Zhao Pei has found a way?" ”

Yuan Minzhou coughed a few more times, and his face became even more strange.

A white light suddenly flashed in his mind, Xie Fenghua thought about it, and couldn't help but be surprised: "You shouldn't plan to empty the white wolf, right?" ”
