After Yelujue also entered the ice cave, the two Khitan warriors blocked the entrance of the passage with snow, then took off their coats and began to sweep away the footprints on the snow with their coats.

After all, it was a moonlit night, and it was obviously not as good as daytime, and after the footprints in the deep snow were erased, it was unrecognizable even if it was close.

They swept all the way to the ground and all the way outside the tent. These two people were the Khitan warriors who served as guards tonight, so except for the two of them, everyone else slept peacefully in the tent and did not notice their actions.

Then, the two Khitan warriors walked quickly in the direction of the Turkic Black Sand City, stepping on the deep snow.

It's dawn.

Xiaoxiao was already ready to go, sitting cross-legged in her big tent and waiting for the landing Jinping to give the departure order.

The wind was blowing, and the wind was still strong, but it was much better than the vast snow that had been overwhelming in the previous days, at least you could see far away, and when the sun came, you would know the general direction and how to go.

But she waited for a long time and didn't move, until Yunzi came in, pouted and said, "Sister Xiaoxiao, you don't go to take a look, what's going on with my brother?" Did he and that girl Qingqing sleep so late? ”

According to before, before dawn, Ye Qingqing would get up and prepare for departure, but this time, there was no movement when the sky was bright, which was a little strange.

So, Xiaoxiao hurriedly came to Lu Jinping's tent, thought about it, coughed and said, "Qingqing!" ”

Inside the big tent, Ye Qingqing agreed, opened the tent and came out, Xiaoxiao saw that she was neatly dressed and her bags were ready, but she couldn't see Lu Jinping's figure inside, so she couldn't help but be a little strange, and asked, "Where is the prince?" ”

"The prince said in the middle of the night yesterday that he would go to the princess to talk about things. He didn't come back until dawn. ”

After saying this, Ye Qingqing felt that something was wrong, and immediately pulled out his legs and ran to the princess's tent, Xiaoxiao and Yunzi glanced at each other, and their faces sank, and they hurriedly caught up.

Xiaoxiao's martial arts are much higher. A few ups and downs had already rushed to the princess's tent, but they saw that the curtain of the princess's big tent had been raised, and two maids were packing up their things inside, while the princess was sitting cross-legged on a tiger skin cushion and meditating with her eyes closed.

Lu Jinping was also not seen in the big tent.

Xiaoxiao was a little panicked, and asked urgently: "Princess, didn't the prince stay with you last night?" ”

The princess couldn't help but be a little shy, and said, "How can he be with me......?" As soon as she had said this, the princess noticed that something was wrong, and stood up with a snort. took two steps forward and said, "What's the matter, is the prince gone?" ”

Ye Qingqing, who followed closely, had already heard their conversation, and suddenly turned pale in panic, and said urgently: "Last night he said that he was going to come to talk to the princess about things, so I didn't have to wait for him, I thought he was with the princess, oh I really damn it, I should follow him out......!" ”

Ye Qingqing was so anxious that she was about to cry.

Yunzi said urgently: "Find it quickly." He might be nearby, or in some tent to talk to. Find out. ”

Several people immediately began to search in the tent. The plum blossom guards also got the news, and they also scattered around looking for it. I quickly searched all over the place, because all the soldiers had already gotten up and prepared their bags before dawn, and did not continue to sleep.

When they found the inside of the elder's tent, several elders knew that the prince was missing. Immediately panicked, and immediately followed around to look around. But after searching all around, there was no trace of Lu Jinping.

However, they eventually found two lines of footprints, stretching in the direction of the Turkic Black Sand City.

Due to the cold wind of last night, the footprints have been gone. Barely recognizable.

Xiaoxiao immediately took out the bamboo flute to summon the snow sculpture like the wind,

However, he blew hard, and after waiting for a long time, he did not see the figure of the ferret like the wind. It is estimated that it was a blizzard for more than ten days before, and the visibility between the sky and the earth was very low, and the snow sculptures had no way to track their direction in this strong wind, nor did they know where they were going, and the snow sculptures had lost contact with them.

Xiaoxiao knew that the snow sculpture would look for his traces after the sky cleared, but now he couldn't wait for the snow sculpture to come, because what was found in the snow were two lines of footprints, Xiaoxiao immediately subconsciously judged that Lu Jinping was taken hostage, and was so anxious that he immediately ordered to chase forward along the footprints.

Xiaoxiao didn't care about the others, so she just took the plum blossom internal guard and Ye Qingqing to catch up first.

Several elders hurriedly comforted her and said not to be anxious, because there was a moon and stars last night, and several elders had already judged that the two lines of footprints were going in the direction of the Turkic capital of Heisha City, and they happened to be walking in this direction, so it was enough to chase after them. Or don't separate, lest you get lost.

Hearing this, Xiaoxiao was a little relieved, at least they had found the direction, for the elders on the grassland, it was easy to identify the direction according to the stars, in the past ten days, the reason why they would get lost was because of the blizzard, and there was no reference for them to identify the direction.

Xiaoxiao still decided to chase first, she asked the elders and others to come later, and she took the plum blossom guard, Yunzi and Ye Qingqing to chase along the footprints on horseback.

However, in such soft and deep snow, it is very difficult to walk quickly, and despite Xiaoxiao's martial arts, he cannot quickly drift on the soft snow.

However, her speed was still much faster than the others, and she chased ahead alone. But the sky was not beautiful, and after chasing a little way, although it was not as heavy as the snowstorm of the previous day, the cold wind was enough to sweep away the footprints on the snow.

Soon, the footprints on the ground faded and eventually disappeared.

Xiaoxiao was afraid of getting lost, so she could only wait for the Turkic elders to catch up in the rear.

The elders arrived, but the soldiers did not follow.

At this time, the blizzard started again.

Xiaoxiao was angry and anxious, but she didn't know that those people were pretending to be Khitan warriors, and thought they were real Tang soldiers, so she sent someone back to look for them, but the wind and snow were all over the sky, and after looking for a long time, she still couldn't find the footprints of those soldiers, presumably because she was lost in the wind and snow and lost contact with them.

She didn't know that these Khitan warriors pretending to be Tang soldiers were deliberately delaying, and then took advantage of the wind and snow to change the direction of walking, turned to the direction of the Khitan, and did not come with them. And the wind and snow have covered all their footprints, so naturally they can't be found.

The princess was so anxious that she didn't know who had kidnapped her future husband, but her husband's martial arts were so strong that he was robbed, and that person's martial arts must have been even more powerful, and her heart was even more anxious. Several elders comforted her and said that the prince was auspicious, and he would definitely be lucky when he was killed, and some elders said that maybe the queen mother wanted to see him in a hurry, so she sent someone to invite him first.

This explanation is in line with the princess's worries, because Aktau had previously brought troops to them to be unkind to them, and it was sent by the Queen Mother. So she was worried that the Queen Mother sent a master to rob Lu Jinping. However, the only thing that made him feel a little relieved was that if the Queen Mother had a killing intention against Lu Jinping, she should not have bothered to take him away, but killed him directly, since he didn't kill him, maybe that person didn't really want Lu Jinping's life.

After having this speculation, the princess was a little relieved, he just wanted to search all the way to the past, and rush back to Black Sand City as soon as possible to find out who took Lu Jinping away, and wanted to know if Lu Jinping had arrived in Black Sand City in advance.

If it is confirmed that Lu Jinping has not arrived in Black Sand City at that time, she will immediately lead people to search in the desert, and she must find her husband.

Not to mention that they were anxious to rush to the side of Black Sand City, and said that Lu Jinping and Yelujue were hiding under the ice cave, because they didn't know if Xiaoxiao and they had gone far at night, so Yelujue was not in a hurry to come out and take Lu Jinping away, but still lay next to Lu Jinping in the ice cave and talked to him.

They had already covered it with a tiger skin mattress, so they wouldn't get chilled by the snow below. Although it was much warmer in the ice cave than outside, Yelujue still hugged Lu Jinping and seemed to be very cold.

Lu Jinping smiled bitterly and said, "Madam, you said that you want to marry your daughter to me, and you are like this to me, isn't it a bit indecent?" ”

Yelu Jue smiled and said, "Originally, I had the intention of making you my son-in-law, but now I have changed my mind, because I find that you may be more helpful to me than my son-in-law. ”

"I see, whether you want me to be your son-in-law or your man, your purpose is nothing more than for me to help you deal with the Turks. There's no need for this, let's put it well, I will naturally consider going to the Khitan with you after I go to the Turks to do something, so why set up such a trap? ”

"You're right, that's my main purpose, I have to get rid of my opponents. My daughter I know best, if she marries you, she will try her best to defend you, will not defend me, he will first consider your safety and your interests, will not let you take the risk to help me, if he finds that there is danger, let you, as my son-in-law, can only help me to a general extent, at most in making me look forward to returning to the Tang Dynasty This can be the starting point, but if you really want to fight bloodily for me, and even borrow troops from the Tang Dynasty to deal with the rebels and deal with the Turks, it is estimated that she will not agree, it is equivalent to sending you to the battlefield. I'm sure this selfish daughter won't do it. It's not the same if you want to be my man, you're going to think of me with all your might. ”

Lu Jinping was not afraid for a while, what did this woman want to do? He said, "Madam, don't you know that some men don't admit it when they lift their pants?" Aren't you afraid that I will take advantage of you and not care at all? ”

"I'm not going to look away, what's more, I have a way for you to help me with all your heart."

"What's the solution? You're not going to poison me and force me to serve you, or you're going to let me die of poison or something like that, right? ”

Yelu Jue smiled: "The method you said is indeed very vicious, and it must be very effective, but unfortunately it is used to deal with other people, I can consider it, but if it is used against you, I will be reluctant." After all, you want to be my man, how can you suffer like this. Besides, you will not be able to do things for me with such a heavy burden, only by relaxing wholeheartedly, I believe that you can use your best ability to help me achieve my goals. So, I thought of a better way. (To be continued.) )
