As a southern country, the winter of this year's southern month is extremely cold, and one after another heavy snowfall has made Cloud Chasing City snow-covered like the scenery of the north.

And the Jiuli Department, which visited the Nanyue Kingdom, is also about to leave the city.

During this time, Prince Atamu came to the Prime Minister's Mansion less and less, probably because he saw Meng Huai'an's vague refusal, or it could be that Mu Lingkong was always lukewarm, and when he came for the last time, he gave Mu Lingkong a Nanmu box with exquisite patterns, locked with copper locks, and he couldn't see what it contained.

Mu Lingkong was not going to accept it, but Prince Atam stuffed it into her arms without saying anything, and sighed, "You don't want to marry me, I understand what you mean, but you must accept this gift, just as a parting gift from your friend!" ”

He said so, Mu Lingkong refused again, but it seemed hypocritical, so she saluted Atamu, "It was the little woman who lived up to the good intentions of His Royal Highness the Prince!" ”

Prince Atam smiled heartily, "You don't look down on me, naturally I have some shortcomings, it's none of your business, if you have the opportunity to come to Jiuli in the future, I will treat you well!" ”

After finishing speaking, he didn't say anything more, waved his hand and turned around and walked away.

Regarding the departure of the Jiuli Department, the people and officials in Chasing Cloud City are some happy and some worried.

Due to the visit of Jiulibu, he brought a lot of exotic singing and dancing circuses with him, which dazzled the people in Cloud Chasing City and enriched their lives a lot. But at the same time, Jiuli is brave and advocating force, some nobles are noisy in the city, and a lot of things have happened, which has also caused a headache for Jingzhao Mansion Yin for a long time, and now he finally begged his grandfather to tell his grandmother, and finally looked forward to this group of barbarians leaving, but another big and small thing happened - Prince Atam's cousin, Prince Crodo, disappeared in the huge Cloud Chasing City!

Although Clodo was the prince's cousin, he was bigger than Prince Atam, and he caused a large part of the troubles in the city caused by the Jiuli people.

Besides, he never slept in the inn, and stayed in the various Qinglou Oiran rooms every night, when he disappeared, no one knew.

Jingzhao Mansion Yin was naturally jumping again, and finally with the help of His Royal Highness the Prince's personal soldier Black Armor Army, when he found Crodo from a remote alley, he had been lying in the ice and snow all night.

The reason for this is that he was jealous of a rich businessman last night and had a big fight, but unfortunately the other party's family was outstanding, and he beat Crodo and the servants he brought fat, and threw them in the alley to blow the cold wind all night.

Fortunately, Crodo didn't have any fatal injuries except for breaking a leg. But he was still angry and wanted to seek justice from His Majesty the Emperor and find out this person.

Prince Atam could not stand it any longer, so he hurriedly ordered him to be gagged and dragged into the carriage.

In the warm and incense inner room, Feng Mingzhen listened to Zhuang Chong's return, and said with some regret on his forehead, "Only one leg was broken? He raised his eyes and glanced at Peng Yan obliquely, and said with disgust, "You talk a lot of nonsense now, but your work is getting worse and worse!" ”

Peng Yan suddenly lowered his head in shame, and the tall man shrunk his shoulders like an angry little daughter-in-law, and he couldn't help but slander in his heart.

Last night he suddenly received an order to teach Crodo a lesson before leaving the city, and no one told him how much of a lesson he wanted, so he only broke one of his legs.

After I came back, I heard Zhuang Chong say that Crodo almost injured Miss Meng by the lake some time ago, and the master was angry for Miss Meng!

At that time, he chuckled in his heart, glaring angrily at Zhuang Chong, he did it on purpose, he didn't say it sooner or later, but he didn't say it until he came back!

Fortunately, Feng Mingzhen didn't say much, picked up the fold and began to review it again.

The cold wind was howling outside the window, and another heavy snow quietly shrouded Cloud Chasing City, and the annual winter hunt of Nanyue Country was about to begin.

In the warm spring-like room, the floor was covered with a thick blanket, and the incense burner of the Rui Beast curled and smoked in the corner.

Mu Lingkong and Meng Ruyue took a few maids to play leaf cards, and when they heard Meng Ruyue mention winter hunting, she asked curiously, "Can we go to winter hunting?" ”

Meng Ruyue threw down a card without blinking, and asked in surprise, "You are such a person who is afraid of the cold, you are going?" I went to Broken Cloud Mountain, which is a little colder than the capital! ”

Mu Lingkong's hand touched the cards for a pause and smiled, "It's boring to be bored in the house every day, it seems that winter hunting is still interesting!" ”

Meng Ruyue pursed her lips, and she didn't know who the person who didn't want to move every time she was in the room.

Mu Lingkong thought of what Beishuo once said, the poison fairy haunted the area of Broken Cloud Mountain, and she always wanted to find a chance to take a look, but she didn't expect it to be a godsend.

The Winter Hunt is a grand event organized by the royal family, which is held every year in the area of Broken Cloud Mountain, and the accompanying ministers can bring their families with them.

This year, Meng Huai'an took Mu Lingkong and Meng Ruyue together, Meng Yu was left in the mansion to study, and the eldest lady simply stayed in the mansion.

On the carriage, Meng Ruyue was chattering excitedly, "Last year, I saw a snow-white fox in Broken Cloud Mountain, but unfortunately I didn't shoot it, this year I must shoot a fox myself as a scarf." ”

She saw Mu Lingkong huddled in the corner with the copper hand stove in his arms, and muttered unhappily, "Look at the way you don't look excited at all, it's a disappointment!" ”

Mu Lingkong smiled faintly. Nanyue Country is a lot more interesting because of this year's rare snow, but people who were born in the north and can see snow every year are not uncommon in this winter hunt.

She still cooperated with the curtain of the car, and in an instant a gust of cold wind swept through, taking away a lot of the warmth in the carriage, she looked outside and asked Meng Ruyue, "How long is it to arrive?" ”

Meng Ruyue followed Meng Huai'an every year for winter hunting, and hesitantly replied, "There are still three or four days!" ”

Usually when there is no snow, it only takes three or four days to chase the cloud city to the broken cloud mountain, which coincides with the heavy snow in the past few days, the snow on the road is deep, and there is ice, and the group is difficult to travel, and when it is broken cloud mountain, it is already six days later.

As a royal hunting ground, Broken Cloud Mountain has beautiful scenery and many prey in the strange mountains and mountains. The Royal Pavilion is located halfway up the mountain.

Mu Lingkong and Meng Ruyue had been bumpy on the road for so long, tired and sleepy, and when they arrived at the arranged courtyard, they fell asleep when they entered the room.

Dongxue and Qingli were on the side to help her sort out her luggage.

Mu Lingkong struggled to open one eye, and said to the two, "You are also tired, go and rest!" ”

Dongxue shook her head, "This house is uninhabited all year round, it's very cold, and the slaves and maids will bring in a pot of charcoal for the young lady to warm up!" ”

Dongxue has always been careful and proper, and Mu Lingkong knew that he couldn't resist her, so he let her go.
