"Yan Xun has allowed me, and after the New Year, I can leave to return to the inland of Yanbei. You also have to be prepared, there are a few things I told you to do in this letter, and there are some things that we must prepare in advance. Chu Qiao's expression was serious.

He Xiao opened the letter handed over by Chu Qiao, read it carefully, and then showed the letter to the other three separately, and after the other three read it, He Xiao took out the fire fold and burned the letter.

The four of them stood up and said to Chu Qiao, "My lord, please rest assured, we will definitely complete the task you have assigned." ”

"Alright, it's almost time for me to go back. Let's go back early after eating, after all, we are still under Yan Xun's eyelids. After speaking, he got up and took the remnant rainbow sword and walked back.

Chu Qiao walked out of the Guard's Mansion and went directly to the horse farm, and in front of him was a huge hillside planted with fine pasture grass that had been moved from outside the pass, which was specially used to breed those good horses with good bloodlines.

Chu Qiao strolled away and saw a familiar person in the stable in front of him, it was Yan Xun. He held the good horse as if he was waiting for someone.

"Achu..."Yan Xun shouted lightly.

"Hmm..."Chu Qiao replied lightly.

"I heard that you went to see He Xiao and them?" Yan Xun looked at Chu Qiao indifferently.

"Well, it's the New Year, I sent them something to eat." Chu Qiao replied lightly.

"Do you want to go for a horse walk together?" Yan Xun looked at Chu Qiao with a lonely look.

"I want to walk around alone" looked at the loneliness in Yan Xun's eyes, and just returned to the road plainly.

"Achu... Come back early, your body matters. Yan Xun closed his eyes, turned around and walked away.

"Hmm..."Chu Qiao got on his horse and ran away. The horses ran at a uniform speed on the dirt road, facing the cold wind blowing, watching the ice lake and woods getting closer and closer, Chu Qiao's emotions became heavier and heavier.

Looking at the still snow-capped forest paths, riding horses slowly, looking at the snow-covered places, the faint smell of blood still hasn't dissipated. Dismounted and walked slowly, and came to the place where I met Yu Wenyue for the first time in the ice lake. Looking at the ice lake, it seemed that I saw Yu Wenyue standing beside me again, quietly looking at me and listening to what I said. Yu Wenyue, you said that if you had kept me by your side earlier, would there not have been this kind of life and death like today...

Turning around and leaving the lake, I continued to walk forward, and suddenly, on the snow in front of me, I saw a dark thing, and Chu Qiao hurriedly ran over. swept away the snow blocking it with his hand, only to see that the dark thing was actually a token. But the token was badly deformed, and a dagger's blood mark was pierced through the middle of the token.

Chu Qiao was suddenly startled, recalling that when she came that day, Yueqi was beaten by Cheng Yuan and was almost powerless, when Cheng Yuan took the knife and dagger and inserted Yueqi's body, she happened to arrive, killed Chen Yuan, and was busy saving Yu Wenyue, the wine left, and when she left, the Xiuli Army arrived and fought with the soldiers sent by Yan Xun, and the aftermath was not clear, just now, when she was getting together with He Xiao and them, He Xiao told her what happened later.

"My lord, not long after you left, a group of people wearing cyan beast armor came, killed all the remaining Yanbei soldiers, and rescued the seriously injured Yuewei. We don't know where they went. ”

Also, I heard from the soldier who sent Yu Wenyue's body that the lake was too cold at that time, and no one dared to go down to the lake to fish for people, so he casually found a similar corpse and disfigured his face. In this way, Li Zhuang, the peach generation, was sent back to Dawei. But I only heard about it, and there is no way to verify it. ”

Before leaving this time, the reason why I returned to this place was to see, what else could I find, and to find that subtle glimmer of hope.

Chu Qiao clenched the token in his hand, and tears slowly soaked his face. She kept telling herself in her heart that maybe he wasn't dead, maybe he was alive, maybe... See you again.

Chu Qiao raised his head to put away his tears, got on his horse, and continued to ride towards Qianzhang Lake, the cold wind mixed with fine snow blowing head-on.

At this time, Chu Qiao seemed to be enchanted, as if not far ahead, she could feel that there was a person who was waiting for her where she was waiting for her who was not going to leave in her life.

Riding a horse to the shore of Qianzhang Lake, there was nothing but the white ice... Nothing... At this moment, my heart suddenly hurt. Tears broke the embankment again... Walking on the ice, looking for memories, looking for where Yu Wenyue was at that time, and where he might be.

Just like that, watching, finding. I don't know how long it took, until Chu Qiao's eyes felt a spicy pain. But she still wouldn't give up... How she longed to find that subtle glimmer of hope.

The snow drifted in the sky, slowly accumulating on Chu Qiao's body. Chu Qiao sat on the ice and exercised pranayama and regained his energy. When I opened my eyes again, a silver light was reflected on the surface of the lake, and I thought that it might be the light reflected by the sun shining on the ice surface, but I couldn't help but feel that something was wrong. Get up and walk towards the point of light.

Getting closer and closer to the glowing point, Chu Qiao's eyes widened and widened, and his eyes were full of scorching brilliance. Suddenly kneeling down on the ice, he stretched out his hand tremblingly, and slowly approached the point of light. See...

It was a silver ornament that looked like Yu Wenyue's hair that day, and when it sank to the bottom of the lake, it was impossible for it to fall by itself, does this mean that it is possible that Yu Wenyue was not dead, and someone rescued him and took him away after the person left. In order to confirm the facts, Chu Qiao used the cold ice trick, used his internal force to disperse the ice surface wrapped in the jewelry, melted the ice and snow attached to it little by little, picked it up, looked at it carefully, his pupils suddenly contracted, and his palms clenched.

Chu Qiao smiled suddenly, laughing with relief, laughing like a child, laughing and shedding tears...

Slowly got up, put the hair ornament in the underwear, walked out of the lake, and rode back.
