Escorted by a team of men and horses, a luxurious carriage stopped on the outskirts of Lindu.

"Why don't you just go in?" A young man poked his head out of the car and asked.

The guard next to him brought over a horse, which was a good and docile horse.

The guard replied: "Little boy, the current Lindu is no longer the Lindu of the past, and we will escort you all the way in." ”

The guard said, raised the rope leading the horse in his hand, and said, "Please let the little boy ride the horse." ”

"Okay." Ji Ling jumped out of the carriage and took the horse's rope.

"It's good that no one notices."

The guard bent down and said, "Yes." ”

The fourteen-year-old boy jumped on his horse and, without the slightest hesitation, galloped towards the gate of the city.

From behind came the guard's eager "slow down" voice.

Ji Ling didn't look back, didn't slow down, and even sped up.

From the time he heard about the changes in Yan Kingdom, he turned around all the way and rushed back to Lindu.

At first, Uncle Wang didn't agree, but in the end, he escaped, so he had to arrange for someone to follow him.

Part of the Yasukuni army stationed in Lindu was preparing to withdraw, leaving a deputy general Wang to temporarily garrison and wait for orders from the northern capital later.

When he was close to the city gate, Ji Ling gradually slowed down.

In this Lindu, the snow has never melted, and I heard that there was a heavy snowfall last night, and now, I can only see this white expanse.

On the horse, he couldn't feel the cold of the snow, but what about the little princess? What the hell happened to her.

He looked around, there were few people coming and going, there were few people on the street, and it was estimated that the people of Yan Kingdom were reluctant to come out in their own homes.

Only a large number of Yasukuni soldiers could be seen on the streets, some patrolling and some evacuating.

The windows of a house were slightly ajar, and two men were drinking inside.

"Yasukuni has withdrawn its troops, you know?"

"I don't know why, but I finally withdrew my troops."

A man looked out the window, just in front of Ji Ling, who was sitting on a horse, the man ignored him and continued to drink.

"We little people, don't care so much, General Qin is indeed as rumored to say, he didn't hurt us little people, thank God."

"That's right."

The man said, touching the wine bowl with the other party, vowing to get drunk and rest.

Ji Ling was a little in a trance, and he didn't drive the horses anymore, and let the horses move on their own.

The guards behind quickly caught up with him.

In the future of the history of Kyushu, there is no Yan country.

The King of Yan, who had taken him in for three years, slept on this land forever.

"Little boy, where are you going?"

A guard next to him stepped forward and asked.

Ji Ling was stunned for a moment, didn't answer, but asked endlessly: "I forgot which direction the princess's mansion is coming from." ”

The guard pointed in one direction, "Little boy, over here, you are going the other way." ”

The guard looked at his unyielding appearance, sighed helplessly, and had to follow silently.

Qingwang ordered them to follow and protect the little boy, but the way the little boy looks now is really worrying.

The horse's hooves trampled on the snow, stepping on a series of footprints.

Soon, the once luxurious princess mansion was close at hand.

However, now in the same place, half of the plaques have fallen off, and there is no longer the vitality of the past.

No maid guards will greet you at the door, no little princess who looks indifferent, but is actually enthusiastic.

Ji Ling was silent, didn't say a word, and jumped off the horse's back.

The guards quickly took the horses by the hand, took them aside and tied them up.

The soldiers guarding the princess's mansion also evacuated, and at this time, this huge princess's mansion was really, a little terrifyingly silent.

There were also some maids who had not had time to escape, and they were delayed again and again because the Yasukuni soldiers were guarding here and did not allow them to leave.

By this time, most of them had fled, and only a small number remained.

A little maid recognized Ji Ling, was frightened, and hurriedly ran away, not knowing why she went.

Ji Ling stood in the courtyard in a daze, and suddenly, he didn't know what to do.

After a while, a middle-aged, slightly obese man on crutches limped out, looking at Ji Ling weakly with resentful eyes.

Ji Ling recognized it at a glance, this was the head of the princess's mansion.

He hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed Manager Zhao.

"Manager Zhao, where is the little princess?"

Manager Zhao sighed deeply, if only he knew.

After pondering for a moment, Manager Zhao explained the previous matter to Ji Ling again.

After finishing speaking, he held Ji Ling's shoulder and said, "Little boy, you shouldn't come back, it's better to leave this place quickly." ”

Ji Ling's face was mixed with grief and anger, and his brows were about to twist into a peak, but he just didn't speak, and no one knew what he was thinking at the moment.

A guard stepped forward slightly and said, "Little boy, General Qin of Yasukuni has released news that the little princess has ........"

Before he finished speaking, he was glared back fiercely by Ji Ling's knife look.

Let's keep our mouths shut.

After a while, the guard reminded again: "Little boy, the prince only gave us one day, and we must rush back today." ”

Ji Ling quietly stared at the dilapidated courtyard, where there was laughter, a beautiful little girl, and the red plum that bloomed proudly.

He still remembers that the little princess is very fond of red plums.

And now, all that was left was the snow-covered stump.

Ji Ling walked up to the red plum.

"Mr. Zhao, what's going on?"

Manager Zhao glanced up, lowered his head deeply, and said, "That day, Qin Feng's dog thief asked me where the little princess was, and this red plum tree was cut off by him. ”

"This is the little princess's favorite red plum."

Ji Ling squatted down and looked at the remaining tree trunks for a long time.

Finally, he turned to the guard and said, "Help me bring it back." ”

"Whoa."

"What are you going to bring back?"

Suddenly, a man's voice came from outside the door of the princess's mansion, and the guards looked back with a shocked expression.

When did the prince come, it seems that he is not worried about the little boy.

After the guards saluted the prince, they stood aside obediently.

Yeqing waved at them, and walked straight to Ji Ling's side, squatting down to look at the cut red plum with Ji Ling.

"Uncle Wang."

Hearing this, Yeqing let out a soft "um".

"Take it back."

"But you have to think about it, this kind of northern tree is difficult to feed in the south, and it may not bloom again for the rest of its life, do you still have to hold on?"

Ji Ling pondered, and finally nodded without hesitation.

"Little boy, this is a thing found in the princess's house." Manager Zhao didn't know when he entered the house, but now he slowly withdrew and handed Ji Ling something with both hands.
