Chapter 2: The Valley of Ice
A trickle of water flows gently through the silent valley, different from the white expanse outside the valley, but here is the fragrance of birds and flowers, and thousands of flowers bloom all over.
A young man with a luxurious temperament stood outside the octagonal pavilion, his slender fingers gently brushed a peony flower that was waiting to be released, and the magic was that after the touch of a pair of hands that were more beautiful than a woman, the peony flower bloomed little by little at a speed visible to the naked eye. The man seemed to be satisfied with his masterpiece, and a smile appeared on his gentle and elegant face.
Today, it's time for her to wake up! Who is she? There is no way to know.
Suddenly, a phantom floated behind him, slowly manifesting itself. It turned out to be a well-looking man, and he saluted the son in front of him, and bowed his head in respect.
"Childe, there's news from the Imperial City!" He lowered his head, as if waiting for the boy to inquire about the situation.
Childe's hand paused slightly, and then continued to play with his strange flowers and plants as if he hadn't heard. This garden is full of flowers, and it is even more beautiful than the imperial garden in the palace.
The man in the back did not dare to look up, and stood respectfully, waiting for a long time before breaking the silence again. "Childe, this is about that treasure!"
The boy's eyes flickered and he turned around.
Feeling the sudden change in the surrounding atmosphere, the man's heart suddenly jumped, and he said nervously: "Just last night, two black-clothed thieves entered the Ice City Palace!" According to reliable sources, the treasure was stolen! ”
"Stolen?" Although the luxurious son still looked calm and relaxed, there was a trace of obvious disbelief. That thing is regarded as the biggest secret of Ice City, and it has always been kept secret by Liwang, and no second person will ever know where it is. Even he tried to get it several times, but in the end it was in vain.
The man was afraid that his master would be angry, so he lowered his head and did not dare to look up. "Yes." He answered truthfully, even though it risked his life. "This morning, King Li was furious in the main hall, saying that it was a national treasure that was stolen. He also severely punished General Han, who was unfavorable, and ordered him to go all out to recover the national treasure within three days, otherwise he would come to see him! ”
"Oh, it seems true, that old guy is willing to punish even the most important confidant. Nothing but that could have allowed him to do this! The brocade boy pondered, and a mocking smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"Childe, childe, that girl is awake!" A girl in a green skirt rushed here in a panic. Seeing the oppressive atmosphere in front of him, he hurriedly shut up and stood aside respectfully and did not dare to speak.
"Xiao Xia, let's go see Cher!" Childe didn't even look at the man who reported the news, and walked slowly towards the girl.
"Childe? Don't we take action? The man hurriedly called out to the departing brocade boy.
Who knew that he didn't look back, and left a sentence coldly, "Do your part!" ”
The morning sun was a little abrupt, Mingxue rubbed her head that was not fully awake, she seemed to have had a dream far, far away, staring at the ground in a daze, and now there are only some sporadic memories left.
By the way, where is this? A glow of light came from the window, and it was a hazy red glow in the room, and it felt like I was still in a dream.
With a "squeak", the delicate wooden door was pushed open. The young boy walked in gracefully and slowly.
"Cang...... Loneliness? "It seems like I haven't spoken for a long time, my throat is very dry, and my voice is extremely hoarse.
The boy found a random place to sit down, and said with a light smile: "Xue'er, you finally woke up!" ”
Xiao Xia hurriedly stepped forward to put a pillow for Ming Xue, and Ming Xue moved her hands, only to feel weak and had no strength at all.
"Let's have a good rest first, you have been in a coma for more than a month, and your body is not well, I will ask someone to stew some snow ginseng for you later." The boy took a sip of the tea on the table, and seemed to feel that the tea was a little unpleasant, so he gently put it back, and looked at the serving maid with a little dissatisfaction.
Xiao Xia hurriedly bowed her head like a child who had done something wrong, and then removed the tea and replaced it with new tea.
Ming Xue smiled, the silence is still like this, everything is so exquisite, I am afraid that I know how to enjoy it better than King Li. "I can't imagine that the first person I see every time I wake up from a deep sleep is you!" She was a little curious about when she would return to Tianli.
"This is probably fate, God favors me, and wants to give me a peerless beauty like Xue'er!" The tone of the silence was relaxed and casual, but when he said this, there was a glint in his eyes, and perhaps he did not even notice it.
Ming Xue didn't take it to heart, how could a person like Cang Lonely lack a woman, as long as he was willing, how many peerless beauties were willing to follow him, but those people did not include her, her heart was not here.
Where is her heart? While thinking about it, she suddenly thought of something and began to search for it in a hurry by the bedside.
"What are you looking for?" Seeing her anxious look, Cang Silent hurriedly stepped forward to check.
"Where's my Feng Ming Xiao? And Shark Yue! ”
"I thought it was? I'll keep it for you, you take care of your body first, and I'll give it back to you after a while! Cang Silent said indifferently.
Mingxue was silent, why did she return it to her after a while? Shark Yue is looking for Cang Lonely, he holds it, she has no objection, but Feng Ming Xiao is her only connection with her past, it is something that belongs to her alone, what if Cang Yue does not return it to her?
"Well, what about Ling Shuang? I want her to stay with me. Seeing him refuse, Ming Xue had no choice but to do something else, Cang Lonely seemed to be gentle and polite, easy to get close to, but the things he decided were absolutely impossible for anyone to change, and she knew this better than anyone else.
Cang Silent said expressionlessly: "That girl is dead!" The tone was light, as if it didn't matter.
He's dead? How so? Ming Xue was shocked, what happened during the time she was in a coma, how did she return to the Sinking Ice Valley, a group of questions were hidden in her heart, but she couldn't find the answer.
"You take good care of your body, you don't need to think about the rest!" Cang Silent still said to her gently, but it made people feel like an order, extremely tough, and when the words fell, he instructed Xiao Xia to take good care of Mingxue, and left gracefully.
What kind of person is Silence? The first thing Ming Xue saw at this world was Cang Lone's smiling face, as handsome and elegant as a hidden immortal, he was really elegant, just like a dark orchid born in the empty valley, naturally with an intoxicating taste. Later, he threatened himself with his memory to find Shark Yuezhu, and in his elegant words, he did not make people feel the slightest abruptness and unwillingness, for his indifferent smile, it seemed that it was reasonable to do everything in the world for him. But it is precisely because of that elegance that he is lonely in the valley, lonely and difficult to get close to. Mingxue must be leaving, she doesn't want to be controlled by the silence anymore, although that control seems to be willing.
It was night, the wind was gusting, and although it was just past the height of summer, the night in the ice city was cold, bitterly cold. Zhong Xinyue kept rubbing her hands, trying to make herself warmer, but her footsteps kept following the person in front of her.
"Hey, Ice Cube Mask Man? Where are you going? My feet hurt, shall we find a place to rest? No matter how pitiful her expression was, and how genuine her tone was, her opinion was not destined to be taken by those who walked in front of her, because they were not fellow travelers.
Sure enough, the cold and arrogant figure in front of him did not stop to wait for her, but turned into an inn.
The guy in the inn hurriedly greeted him, and when he saw the man's strange dress, the guy was not much surprised, but asked enthusiastically, "Does the boy live in the hotel?" Do you want to go to a room or a regular room? ”
He slammed a sword on the ground, revealing only half of his peerless face with an indifferent expression. "The old rules!" After a pause, he said so.
"Okay!" When the young man heard this, he hurried to prepare.
At this time, an eager female voice came from outside the door, "Wait, wait, and me!" And me! The voice is coquettish and bright, but the tone is a little vulgar.
The young man thought that another business was coming, and he didn't care about it, so he hurriedly said enthusiastically: "Girl, do you also want to stay in the hotel?" It's so late, it's not safe outside. ”
Zhong Xinyue walked for a day, her whole body was already sore, and she was already tired and out of breath when she ran, she smoothed her breath and showed a brighter smile, "Yes, yes, I was with the person just now." When she smiled and spoke, she showed two sweet dimples, which made this little girl very cute.
"The guy just now? But ...... guy started to get into trouble. The guest officer has been living here for the past few days, but he has never been alone, and he has never seen him with this little girl. By this time, the man had already gone upstairs to his room on his own. If you go up and ask now, it's okay, if not, the iceberg-like person will be angry, and he won't have to take his own life.
"But what! Arrange a room for me, I'm dying of exhaustion after a day's walk! Zhong Xinyue's voice was soft and wet, so cute, it was really flattering. How could you bear to refuse the request of such a beautiful and lovely girl!
The young man had a strong ideological struggle in his heart, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "Girl, come with me!" ”
"Ahh You're so good! Zhong Xinyue danced happily, and almost hugged his guy and kissed him a few times! In this way, it seems that following that iceberg is really the most correct decision, and there is no need to sleep on the cold floor tonight.
Zhong Xinyue walked and jumped all the way, happily seemed to have completely forgotten the soreness of her legs and feet, and kept the most bright and lovely smile all the way into the other upper room next to the iceberg man.
"The hot water for the bath will be brought to the girl later!" The young man explained and was about to leave, Zhong Xinyue instructed by the way: "Get me a change of clothes." "I was already embarrassed when I escaped, so it's better to change my body.
