In the next few days, Duan Wuxian and Xiao He got up early every day and took one or twenty people to the snow-capped mountains to look for flowers on the other side.

According to the book, there are two types of flowers, red and white, but all they need is the red one, which is said to bloom in the land of demons and guide all kinds of souls that have fallen into hell.

This flower only blooms in the evening sunset, and the bloom time is very short, about an hour before and after. If you don't pick it while it's open, it will lose its potency and you'll have to wait another year to get it.

But Xiao He's parents may not be able to wait that long.

For seven or eight days in a row, not to mention the flowers on the other side, everyone didn't even find a single petal.

Xiao He is a little anxious, so many people have been dispatched, and almost everyone needs to be promised a heavy reward, if he can't find it, then what should he do?

At this time, the sky was getting dark, and Xiao He raised his eyes to see that there was a huge golden sun hanging in the sky, and the earth was golden. Even the white snow seems to be shrouded in a golden veil, graceful and elegant.

Duan Wuxian, who had been following Xiao He every step of the way, came to Xiao He at this time, handed her a glass of water, and comforted: "Don't worry, maybe someone will find out in a while." You have to believe that your uncle and aunt have their own natural appearance, and they will be safe. After all, with a daughter like you who is both smart and filial, how can they be willing to go like this? ”

Xiao He's tense face eased a lot, and he stared at Duan Wuxian funny, "Are you praising me?" ”

"Huh?" Duan Wuxian pretended to be stupid, scratched his head with the appearance of a silly boy, and said, "Am I praising people?" Why don't I think I'm telling the truth? To say the truth is to praise people? ”

Xiao He smiled, this guy will make her happy.

Frowning again, Xiao He thought about the past few days, and he was much more comfortable than before.

Although she knew that there was a blank in her mind, she didn't want to recall it at all.

The thought of remembering the past made her brain hurt involuntarily, and no matter how happy she was at the time, her mood would be depressed for a moment, as if that memory was a gray mist that would contaminate her pure mind that she had managed so hard to maintain.

Since this is the case, Xiao He decided not to want to.

It doesn't matter what it is, as long as it can save her parents, as long as she can share the joy of family with her parents who she hasn't seen for many years, it doesn't care about the rest.

At this time, suddenly a guard came to tell me: "I found a red flower on the cliff ahead, but the little one doesn't know the flower, I don't know if it's the little prince and the county lord looking for it." ”

Xiao He was about to get up and go, but Duan Wuxian held her down, "You're tired after walking for so long, leave this matter to me." ”

"You have to be careful." Xiao He had been walking since the morning, and he was really tired at this time, so he sat down and told Duan Wuxian to say.

Duan Wuxian was very happy, Xiao He was caring about him. smiled: "Don't worry, so many guards will definitely not call me something." With that, he followed the guard.

It's just that he didn't see that the eyes of the guards walking behind him flashed not with joy, but with a cold light, a cold light of hatred.

After Duan Wuxian and the guard disappeared around the corner, suddenly, a very slight whistle sounded, Xiao He's hair stood on end, and his intuition was not good, but before he could get up, he was knocked on the back of the head by a big hand, Xiao He's head hurt and he fainted.

As soon as the person who stunned Xiao He beckoned, four or five people rushed out of the surrounding snow slopes, tied Xiao He at a very fast speed, put him in a sack prepared in advance, and ran to the other side of the mountain with his shoulder.

As soon as the figures of these people disappeared, Duan Wuxian came with a bruised left eye, and when he saw the messy footprints at the scene and the guards lying in a pool of blood, he roared: "Fooled." ”

Hurriedly took out the small whistle around his neck and blew it heartbreakingly, and after the guards gathered from all directions, Duan Wuxian ordered: "Quick, don't look for that flower anymore, follow the footprints, find the county lord." Someone sneaked up on us. ”

The guards and Duan Wuxian pursued forward in the direction of the footprints.

Besides, Xiao He, in a daze, she only felt a basin of cold and biting cold water coming down, shivered suddenly, shook her head, and barely opened her eyes, what she saw was a stone room, surrounded by blue-gray stones, a square table in front of her, three chairs, and a brazier, in which a reddish soldering iron crackled.

After struggling, Xiao He felt that he couldn't struggle, and looked down to see that she had been tied to a wooden stake. His hands were tightly bound, and there was no movement in his body.

In front of her, there was a thick man who was still open-chested and exposed in the cold winter of the ninth month, with a dense beard and fierce eyes, and he was not a good person at first glance.

"Who are you?" After Xiao He reacted, he asked the man, and glanced around again, "Where is this?" Why did you bring me here? ”

The person in front of Xiao He didn't answer, but just heard a cold snort outside the door, followed by a squeak, and the iron door opened in response. Outside the door, a man and a woman, walked in.

"Is that you?" Xiao He saw the two people who walked in, his pupils shrank suddenly, weren't the two of them poisoned and dumb? Aren't you locked up? How did it end up here? Could it be that Duan Wuxian deceived her again?

"Hmph," the already dumb King Mobei's eyes were grim, and a pair of small eyes the size of mung beans kept looking Xiao He up and down, and then nodded, signaling a goatee to follow next to him, and when the goatee saw it, he nodded and bowed to King Mobei, and then came to Xiao He's side with a high toe, and said with a smile: "How is it?" Lord Xiao He? Didn't expect that, right? ”

Xiao He stared at him coldly, he was just a beam-jumping clown beside King Mobei, and she didn't take it to heart. So he twisted his head and didn't look at him, or what he wanted to say.

"Yo, it's very individual, no wonder..."As soon as he was halfway through the words, the King of Mobei behind him coughed violently, his goatee was sudden, he put away his playful look, and looked at Xiao He with a serious face, "Lord Xiao He, our prince said that he will probably not be able to speak again in his life, all of this is due to that person." Now that he has returned to the capital, our prince can't find him, so he can only find you, the person he loves the most. ”

At this time, the king of Mobei nodded again and again, and then coughed again, the goatee didn't know why, he could always accurately understand what the king of Mobei meant, and said: "It took a lot of effort to find you?" You don't know it, but our people have been following you from the moment you entered the mountain. And in the Mobei Palace, there are also a few dead soldiers who have received the great favor of the prince and are loyal to the prince. And you, who are so stupid, did not hesitate to go in without checking the personnel, so, you see, even God is helping us. ”

"And this place," Goatee spun around, and said with a smile, "It's a secret place, only our prince and I know in the world, oh, of course, and him," Goatee pointed to the big man next to him who was splashing water on Xiao He and was looking at him with a whip at this time, "However, he is our puppet, what we tell him to do, he will do something, and he has no will to think, of course, he will never reveal the secrets here." ”

In the end, Goatee concluded, "So, Lord Xiao He, you can enjoy the sumptuous feast we have prepared for you here." ”

As soon as the words fell, Xiao He intuitively saw a flower in front of him, and then there was a snapping sound, and his face hurt hotly.

It turned out that the book table snatched the puppet's whip and slapped it at Xiao He's face.

The skin on Xiao He's face cracked, and blood flowed down the wound.

The goatee on the side seemed to have seen a bloody wolf, licked his dry lips, laughed twice, and said: "Our county lord said, since you rely on that face to seduce Your Majesty, then you will never see your smooth and delicate little face again." ”

As soon as the words fell, the whip of the book slashed and covered his face.

Shufang hated Xiao He deeply, if it weren't for her, her fate would not have been so miserable, and she would not have been poisoned and dumb by Mu Churan, she could no longer speak, and she would not have been looked at by Mu Churan.

She hated her, hated her to death, and vowed to make her look good.

So the whip in his hand hit Xiao He without retracting his strength.

The whip shadow flew, Xiao He's face, body, and hands hurt everywhere, but she didn't want to scream out in front of the book, so she gritted her teeth and didn't say a word.

She would never beg for mercy from her mortal enemy.

Moreover, the book flogger hated and poisoned her, obviously trying to destroy her, and it was useless for her to beg for mercy.

In the small square stone room, the goatee stood aside, admiring the scene in front of him, and the king of Mobei stared at Xiao He with a slightly gloomy face, and sneered again and again. The book hammer used all his strength to whip Xiao He, Xiao He was covered in injuries, the pain hit in waves, and his consciousness became more and more blurred.

"Hmph," the book paused, gasping and looking at the goatee, who understood and said to the puppet, "Wake her up." ”

Another basin of cold water was poured down, this time it was different from the last time, Xiao He had injuries on his body, and the wound was watery, and it hurt hotly.

Xiao He took a sharp breath!

Looking at the book again, when will she stop?

And Shufang's smile was like a demon crawling out of hell, the goatee stepped forward again, and said with a gloating smile: "Lord Xiao He, don't think about escaping from here, our county lord is in a good mood today, and will always be here to accompany you... uh..."

Before he finished speaking, he snorted, Xiao He looked over, and saw the goatee with his eyes wide open, looking incredulous. And the king of Mobei in the distance was already lying on the square table, with a bright dagger stuck in his neck.

"Huh?" The book table stopped moving, but before she came back to her senses, she only heard a "poof", she also opened her eyes in disbelief and looked at the door, but there was no one at the door, she forced two or three breaths, and fell to the ground with a bang.

Xiao He looked up in a daze, and finally someone came to save her.

Then, with a tilt of his head, he fainted completely.
