Chapter 40: The Search
The next day, Zhong Lijing came to Xiao Xiyue's room early in the morning, and according to the usual practice, he walked directly from his room. This time, Xiao Xiyue was already sitting in front of the mirror and was sitting blankly. Zhong Lijing wanted to hug her from behind, but now was not the time. Gently picking up the wooden comb, Zhong Lijing personally helped Xiao Xiyue comb her long hair.
Xiao Xiyue looked up and realized that it was him, and blurted out unconsciously: "Are you here?" ”
"What are you doing?" Zhong Lijing's voice was deep, as if he was hoarse after getting up.
"You haven't told me what you want me to do in Snow Country?" Xiao Xiyue looked at the bronze mirror, trying to see Zhong Lijing's eyes clearly.
"Come to Snow Country and marry me."
"Why did I marry you?"
Only then did Zhong Lijing realize that something was wrong with Xiao Xiyue.
"Why me?"
"You know, I want you to fall in love with me."
"Fall in love with you as a saint and stay here."
Zhong Lijing did not speak.
"Why am I a saint, but what about you? You just need a saint, why me? Xiao Xiyue didn't know why her emotions exploded.
"You got it? Who told you that? Zhong Lijing became deeper and deeper.
"Who told me it was important? I'm just a tool. ”
"You're not." Zhong Lijing asked Xiao Xiyue to face him, "You are not a tool. ”
Tears flowed silently from Xiao Xiyue's face, strong feelings poured towards her, she trembled slightly, and let the tears keep flowing down.
Zhong Lijing hugged Xiao Xiyue, are you so reluctant to stay here? Don't want to stay with me?
"Bishop, someone broke in at the bottom of the mountain." The guards outside the door reported.
"I'll be right here." Zhong Lijing helped Xiao Xiyue wipe away her tears, imprinted a kiss on her forehead, and turned to leave.
Xiao Xiyue was lying on the bed, and now she couldn't tell what was wrong with her, she just felt extremely sad.
Zhong Lijing and the four leaders soon came to the foot of the snow-capped mountain, and they met Rong Xiao outside the village.
"Long time no see." Rong Xiao greeted Zhong Lijing with a smile.
"You're finally here." Zhong Lijing was in a very bad mood now, and his tone was even colder.
"Bishop, could it be that he is the traitor's apprentice?" Zhong Lichen said excitedly.
The barrier of the Snow Country was broken, and the four leaders were all uneasy in their hearts.
"I'll take Xiao Xiyue away." Rong Xiao didn't want to talk nonsense with him either.
"Why did you take the Holy Maiden?" Zhong Liri asked.
"Why?" Rong Xiao's eyes became sharp, "With my 100,000 soldiers and horses, is this enough?" ”
There was silence, silence, neither of them expected the war to come so quickly.
"Hmph, just 100,000 soldiers and horses want to trample on my snow country? Do you think Snow Country only has illusions available? Zhong Lijing didn't want to see Rong Xiao so arrogant.
"100,000 is just the strength of the Yuliang Kingdom, and there are 100,000 in the Great Xiangguo." Rong Xiao said sarcastically, "Do you think if Sang Ningguo knew that Snow Country had lost its barrier, would he want to come and get a piece of the pie?" ”
"You're here to threaten me?"
"Yes and no, as long as I take Xiao Xiyue away, no one will know the secrets of the Snow Country."
"Take away the Holy Maiden, and the barrier of the Snow Country will be lost." Zhong Lixing reminded.
"Now the army is just outside the fog barrier." Rong Xiao didn't believe that they weren't afraid.
"Then I'll take you now, and this secret will always be a secret." After Zhong Lichen finished speaking, he attacked Rong Xiao.
"Stop!" Zhong Lijing immediately shouted to stop it.
"Bishop."
"Do you think that no one will know how to get into Snow Country after taking me? As soon as I whistle, a large number of birds will fly to peck at the green grass. ”
The four leaders stopped talking.
"As long as she's willing to go back with you. I don't stand in the way. Zhong Lijing turned around and walked towards the snowy mountain.
