In order to avoid long nights and dreams, before dawn broke on the second day, Hua Mian and Kang Muning went on the road lightly. Because they were in a hurry, they did not ride in a carriage, but rode on horseback.

Out of nowhere, Kang Muenning got two good horses. The chest is deep and the legs are long, the bones are slender, the joints and tendons are well-defined, the muscles are long and bulging, the whole body is as red as coals, there is no half of the hair, the body is about one zhang long, the height is about seven to eight feet, and it can run hundreds of kilometers in an hour.

This reminded Hua Mian of the "red rabbit" horse she had seen in the book in her previous life. It was the first time she had seen a good horse that traveled thousands of miles a day, so she couldn't help but admire.

Kang Muning smiled: "Do you want it? ”

"Really? Are you really willing to give me a horse? Hua Mian's eyes lit up suddenly.

But he saw Kang Muning smiling treacherously: "If you marry me, I will give you a horse." ”

Hua Mian couldn't help but pout: "Stingy, this deal is not cost-effective." ”

Kang Muning said seriously: "No." You don't know, these two horses are a pair, and I can't bear to tear them apart. ”

The brilliance in his eyes suddenly disappeared, and Hua Mian said with regret: "Then forget it, ruining people's marriages will be punished by God, and it is not appropriate to break up the horses." ”

Kang Muning wasted no time in saying: "That's why I said that you should marry me, so that you don't have to separate them?" ”

Hua Mian couldn't help but stare at Kang Muning for a long time, and finally came to a conclusion: "These two horses shouldn't be a pair, right?" In my opinion, this is purely a cover for you to abduct ignorant girls. ”

"Huh?" Kang Muning was surprised, "Can you also see through this?" Are you too smart? ”

"Honestly, how many girls have you deceived with this method?"

"You've wronged me. This little king is born with the ability to attract bees and butterflies, just bloom at will, there are countless wild bees and butterflies one after another, why use any means? It's only Myanmar, you never buy my account. ”

"That's because I'm not an ignorant girl."

This way, because the two of them fight from time to time, it doesn't feel long. These two "red rabbits" really live up to their reputation, along the Qujin River all the way to the northwest direction to carry them galloping through the city, flying moats, crossing the water, climbing the mountain, like walking on the ground, within three days with the momentum of taking off into the sea galloped into the vast prairie.

Whether it is in the past life or in this life, Hua Myanmar has never seen such a magnificent grassland, and the momentum of the vast and vast stratus clouds is not shocking. She suddenly felt that such a beautiful scenery was actually lacking because she didn't have Ji Yunye by her side to enjoy it.

Along the way, I passed through the dwellings of many nomads, watching them leisurely herding horses and sheep, fishing in raccoon clothes, and living a life of husband and wife and grandchildren. If you can find such a place and settle down with Brother Ye, and don't care about the court disputes and the chaos of the world, what kind of happiness it should be. Although she didn't know why Ji Yunye gave herself to others, she believed in her heart, so she had decided that no matter where she was in the future, she would keep her heart for him until she returned to his side.

After another day's rapid travel, Yuxue Peak finally revealed a corner of it, and then slowly spread out in front of him like a rolled up ink painting. When the scroll was fully unfolded, they galloped for another half an hour before they reached the foot of the mountain.

Immediately in front of the majestic Jade Snow Peak, Kang Muning frowned unconsciously. He asked Hai Dongqing to send a letter to Kyoto Lize four days ago. Lize has a Xiao Cavalry that he personally trained, and the letter was sent to the commander of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion, in which he asked him to pick a few good ones, and be sure to pick as many fire lotuses as possible on Yuxue Peak before sunset today, and then wait for them at the bottom of the mountain.

Lize is more than a thousand miles away from Huda City, and even if there is no good horse who travels thousands of miles a day, there is no need to travel day and night, counting the days, they should have arrived today. But now it was nearly dusk, and there was no one to answer.

He rolled his eyes around, and when he saw the herds of horses grazing on the grassy slopes a few miles to the east, his eyes froze. Hua Mian followed his gaze, and her heart trembled. She counted, no more, no less, twelve horses.

The letter brought back by Hai Dongqing said that the commander of the Xiaoqi had selected a total of four good hands to come and pick the fire lotus. It was possible for four men to ride only four horses, and the extra eight horses apparently had another owner. This is a remote and barren place, and it is not a place for grazing, and these people can only come for the fire lotus.

The two of them rolled over and dismounted, probing around as they approached the mountain, and after a moment their bodies shook and they stopped at the same time. I saw a lot of messy footprints on the rubble ground, and there were scattered blood stains in some places. Kang Muning squatted down and stretched out his fingers to dip it, and found that the blood had not dried up. It can be seen that there was a fierce fight here just now. This shows that the purpose of those uninvited guests should be to prevent them from picking fire lotus.

Hua Mian couldn't help but fall into deep thought. Who would have known that they would come to pick fire lotus? They picked fire lotus for four main purposes: first, to drive away the unknown poison in Ling Yue's body; the second is to expel the cold poison in one's own body; the third is to help Li Mo restore heart function so that he can use martial arts; The fourth is to treat Ji Yunye's burns and restore his appearance.

Ling Yue's poisoning was only known to Ji Yunye, Kang Muning, and himself, so their purpose was not to target Ling Yue; The cold poison in his body was caused by Qiu Tang, and Qiu Tang has lost his memory and became Liu Chengkun's concubine, so naturally he will not harm her again; Li Mo is just a guard, and whether he can use force or not seems to be irrelevant.

It seems that they can only target Brother Ye.

If she guessed correctly, it should be the same group of people who intercepted the cavalry and set fire to Brother Ye. They wanted to kill him, but they didn't strike again after the blow failed, but instead came here to snatch the fire lotus, obviously not wanting him to regain his appearance. For a disfigured person has no right to inherit the throne.

Now who is eyeing the throne except Ji Jinyan? Ji Jinyan was also smart, and he didn't order someone to do it until they successfully left the east and entered the border of Xiyan, so that no matter whether they succeeded or failed, Emperor Cheng Zhao would not suspect him.

Hua Mian didn't feel a pang in her heart, and said in a trembling voice: "Go up the mountain quickly." After the words fell, she quickly ran back to the horse and took off the hook and rope prepared in advance, one with Kang Muning, tied it firmly on her body, and turned to climb towards the snowy mountain.

There are no mountain roads in Yuxue Peak, only steep cliffs with snow. With the help of hooks and daggers, the two climbed for more than an hour, until the last rays of the setting sun disappeared into the western horizon.

Hua Mian looked up, the moonlight was spreading, the sky was full of stars as if it was within reach, she never thought that she could be so close to the sky, if it weren't for the fact that the temperature was getting lower and the cold wind was more and more raging at the top of the mountain, this scene was pleasing to the eye. At this time, Hua Mian only felt that her body was close to the limit, and if she didn't climb up, a gust of wind could blow her off the cliff.

Kang Muning saw that Hua Mian's strength was inadequate, and just wanted to lose some internal strength for her, when he heard the faint sound of a fight overhead. His eyes dimmed, and he said to Hua Mian: "It's almost there, you hold on a little longer." ”

Hua Mian perked up and smiled at him: "You go up first, I'll rest for a while and then go up, otherwise I can only be slaughtered." ”

Kang Muning nodded, threw out the dagger in his hand, put his feet on the protruding rock, flew up, stepped on the dagger inserted in the rock wall, and jumped to the top of the cliff.

Hua Mian turned around and leaned against the rock wall, luck let the internal force run in the body for a few weeks, and Zhou Tianfang felt that his physical strength had recovered. After a short rest, she did the same, flew to the top of the cliff, and then rolled and hid behind a boulder, watching the battle ahead.

The snow reflected the bright moonlight, and the entire mountain top was bright, and I saw two groups of people fighting together not far away. One group is a black-clothed masked man, the other is a light-green clothed cavalry, and Kang Muning is also among the fighting. At this time, there were already two black-clothed people lying on the ground, and it was not a huge difference to five enemies and six to fall, but everyone on their side except Kang Muning had colored on their bodies, and the other party couldn't see if they were injured because they were wearing black.

I don't know how long they can last, without further ado, Hua Mian bypassed the battle formation and ran inside, and saw a sparse purple petal golden stamen fire lotus flower looming under the cover of ice and snow, and it was in full swing.

Hua Mian's eyes lit up, luck flew forward, but her body was still in the air, and she saw a cold light coming towards her, she suddenly turned around, rolled to the ground, and a dart brushed past and nailed to the rock beside her. Then a figure followed, swinging his sword at her with a chilling chill.

She couldn't dodge, and narrowly slashed the sword with the short dagger in her hand, and at the same time swept the man to the ground with a sweep of her feet, and quickly rolled over before him, kicking the person who had already gotten up to the ground, and then jumped up rapidly, condensed her true qi on her right elbow, and slammed it into the man's chest after falling. Hearing a "poof", the man spat out a mouthful of blood. Hua Mian sent out the dagger in his left hand like lightning, and let him return to the west in an instant.

The last time she used the Xiao Soul to kill those assassins against each other, Hua Mian already felt that she was too cruel, and now she was really shocked to kill people with her own hands without even blinking an eyelid. It's just that this is no longer up to her to consider, at this moment, either you die or I die, if you don't solve them, Brother Ye will not be able to recover, and Ling Yue may also die at any time, for the sake of the people she cares about, she must not be merciful.

She shouted at Kang Muning, "Stop them," and continued to run towards the sea of fire lotuses that carried her infinite hopes.

However, the change happened at this moment, and even faster than her was a red brilliant light. The red light swept in front of her eyes, crashing straight into the sea of purple and gold flowers that bloomed beautifully, and with a bang, a cloud of red smoke filled the air.

Hua Mian suddenly stopped, and her body jumped backwards, narrowly avoiding the smoke. When the fog gradually dissipated, she looked at the fire lotus flowers that withered in an instant under the poisonous smoke, only to feel that her soul was suddenly withdrawn, and her brain exploded with a bang, and before she could even cry out in pain, she fell to the ground.
