Chapter 121: The Angry Crown Princess
"Who are you!?"
In the exclamation, the tailor's lady and the maid Xiaolu hurriedly stood in front of the beautiful woman in the white dress, and looked at the man outside the courtyard wall in surprise
"Bold thief, dare to peep here, and don't leave quickly!" The tailor's lady shouted angrily.
"Your Royal Highness the Crown Princess, don't worry, you two look at what this is?" Li Xu hurriedly took out the Heart of Ice and Snow, raised it and shook it at the three women.
The pale blue halo flickered, and Ice Heart and the two women stared at each other in surprise, and all doubts were dispelled.
"Do you know the whereabouts of Wei Gongzi? Come in and talk. Bing Xue Xin stuck her head out from behind the two of them suspiciously, and said coquettishly.
Li Xu struggled to climb the courtyard wall and quickly jumped into the garden
"Your Royal Highness the Crown Princess, please forgive me for being reckless, but I have an urgent matter to see you, so I have to make this decision as a last resort." Li Xu said.
"It's okay, let me ask you, where did you get this necklace from?" Bing Xuexin looked at the blue crystal necklace in Li Xu's hand in surprise, and her beautiful eyes couldn't move away
"This matter is very important, and I can only tell you about it." Li Xu said.
His eyes roamed left and right, and the meaning was very clear, that is, he wanted to talk to Bing Xuexin alone
"Bold, who knows what you have in mind, how can you be alone with the crown princess." The tailor lady shouted.
"You two stand aside for the time being, he's just a small soldier, and his level is so low, don't worry." Bing Xuexin glanced at Li Xu and said lightly.
"Yes." The two women bowed and turned to walk into the distance.
Watching them quickly walk out of the garden, standing far away in the corridor and waiting, only Li Xu and Bing Xuexin were left in the entire garden
"Give me the necklace, and tell me why Wei Gongzi asked you to see me." Ice and Snow Heart stretched out his jade hand and said.
"Your Royal Highness the Crown Princess, General Wei has passed away." Li Xu handed over the necklace and said softly.
"What Wei is coming to him, how did he die?" As soon as Bing Xuexin took the necklace, her beautiful eyes were shocked by this sudden news, and she couldn't believe what she heard
"It's true, General Wei has been killed for a long time, and I stumbled upon this necklace to learn about his last words, so I brought this necklace to meet you." Li Xu said.
"It can't be that he is the commander of the Tiger Guards and the major general of the Storm Legion, who can harm him, who dares to harm him!" Ice and Snow Heart's slender delicate body trembled slightly, and her beautiful eyes were red
Suddenly shocked to hear the death of his sweetheart, who is it, it is difficult to calm down for a while
"Your Royal Highness the Crown Princess, perhaps before you married the Crown Prince, General Wei was already poisoned, and he and his Tiger Guard Army were all wiped out in the Cangmang Mountain Range, at least for more than half a year." Li Xu recounted the discovery in detail
"Ah, Wei Lin is really dead, and his bones are with you?" Bing Xuexin still didn't dare to believe it all.
"Yes, look." Li Xu reluctantly opened the package and placed the general's bones in front of the two of them
"Wei Lin is really Wei Lin, this is his tiger head Mingguang armor" Bing Xue Xin squatted down and sobbed on the bones in grief.
"Your Royal Highness the Crown Princess, please mourn, General Wei Lin's last words are explained, let me return the Heart of Ice and Snow necklace to you, and let me tell you that the marriage contract between you can no longer continue, please don't grieve, help him find out who the enemy who is plotting against him is." Li Xu said.
"I know" Ice and Snow Heart pounced on the bones, silently grieving
"Wei Lin, don't let you come back, you have to rush back from the storm abyss, even if you see me, even if you don't have an accident this time, there is no future between us. My father asked me to marry the crown prince, and His Majesty had already issued a decree, even if I didn't want to, I couldn't ignore the honor and disgrace of the family," Bing Xue Xin said faintly on the bones.
yes
Li Xu stood aside, listening to her story, and was shocked for a while
The town guard general also said not long ago that Bing Xuexin and Wei Lin were childhood sweethearts, and their fathers each controlled the two major armies of the human race, and their identities were prominent and respected, and the marriage between the two should also come naturally.
But now, Bing Xuexin's mouth showed all kinds of helplessness, it seemed that their marriage contract had been hindered by General Bingyan and the Human Emperor, and whether Wei Lin had an accident or not, they could no longer continue to fulfill it
This situation is extraordinary, what is the reason for such a change?
Seeing the fairy in the white dress in grief, she leaned over the bones and refused to get up for a long time
"Wei Lin, don't worry, I only have you in my heart, even if I am forced to marry the crown prince, I have nothing to do with him, at least when you are alive, I have never done anything to be sorry for you." Ice and Snow Heart said in a wailing voice.
belch
Listening to the beautiful woman telling about the secret things, Li Xu didn't know whether to avoid it or continue to stay here.
He could only stand there, waiting quietly for the beautiful woman to finish mourning
After more than ten minutes, Bing Xuexin finally stood up from the ground with her red eyes and looked at Li Xu gratefully.
"Thank you, so that I can still meet Wei Lin for the last time, and please keep his bones, and if you have the opportunity, you can send them back to the Storm Abyss and hand them over to his father, General Wei Feng." Ice and Snow Heart said softly.
"Don't worry, Crown Princess, I will send General Wei's bones back." Li Xu nodded.
"Just now you said that Wei Lin was plotted by someone, so he and his army were all wiped out, I don't know what evidence you have, who is the enemy who killed him, I must help Wei Lin avenge his hatred!" Bing Xue said hatefully, the fire flickering in her beautiful eyes
"There is no evidence, but General Wei's last words are very clear, he left the imperial city with the Tiger Guards, and as soon as he entered the death canyon of Cangmang Mountain, he was deliberately intercepted by someone to retreat, and after a fierce battle, he had no choice but to enter the depths of the canyon, and he happened to be attacked by the beast army, and died in the battle when he was attacked by the enemy on his abdomen and back." Li Xu said.
"You mean to say that this was a premeditated killing, just to kill Guard?" Ice Heart exclaimed.
"Yes, I don't have any evidence, but there are still wounded soldiers of the Tiger Guards hiding in the Cangmang Mine, maybe I can get evidence from them to know who is behind it." Li Xu said.
"And the surviving soldiers survived?" Bing Xue Xin asked in surprise.
"There should still be, it's just that there is danger in the mine, and I'm too weak to go in and explore, so I can only see you first." Li Xu said.
"I understand, in order to avenge Wei Lin, I'll go and see with you." Bing Xuexin looked at the bones on the ground and said sadly.
"Why are you going with me?" Li Xu couldn't believe his ears, this beautiful princess with peerless elegance actually wanted to go to the vast mine cave with him.
"Yes, Wei Lin grew up with me since childhood, just like my brother and friend, there are no secrets between me and him, if it weren't for the family, we would have become a couple now, instead of being separated from life and death now, in order to avenge him, I have to figure out what is going on here." Ice Heart said.
"But Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess, if you leave the Imperial City, nothing will happen, right?" Li Xu asked worriedly.
An NPC with a noble status like this, if he leaves the city with the player, he may cause some trouble, especially the crown princess of the royal family, who leaves the imperial city rashly, but he is afraid that the consequences will be even more troublesome
"It doesn't matter, since I got married, I and that prince Fu Lin have lived separately in two places, I live in Yunyan Palace and no one disturbs me, even if I don't return to the palace for a week, no one will know." Bing Xuexin said lightly.
"That's good, I'm at your command." Li Xu nodded, still happy in his heart.
With beautiful women in his company, he can also enter the mine cave that he can't explore, which is something he can't ask for.
"Let's put away Wei Lin's bones first, and I'll go talk to Xiao Lu and them." Bing Xuexin reluctantly glanced at the bones underground, turned around and walked elegantly towards the corridor
Li Xu waved his hand and quickly put the general's bones into the package
Although this quest item has completed its mission, Ice Heart tells him to bring Wei Lin's corpse back to the Storm Abyss.
Maybe it has a bigger purpose.
After collecting the bones, Li Xu stood there, waiting for news from Bing Xuexin
Among the major problems that are now plaguing him, the search for Snow Heart has finally been successfully completed, and the next step is how to solve the mystery of Wei Lin's death and the conspiracy behind it.
But Li Xu's biggest trouble is that there is no attack now
Playing alone, if you don't attack, you can't get along.
Li Xu thought about things, only to see a shadow flickering not far away, and Bing Xuexin came to him with two women.
"Boy, the crown princess followed you to investigate the situation, you have to go back quickly." The maid Xiaolu said.
"Young man, Miss Xuexin has never left the city alone, and she doesn't know anything about the situation in the wilderness, so you take her to find the mine quickly, and then you must come back by tomorrow morning, so as not to cause other trouble." The tailor's lady advised.
"Did you promise the crown princess to go out of the city?" Li Xu asked in surprise.
"Yes, I have to find out about Wei Lin's affairs, otherwise this crown princess is not appropriate." Bing Xue Xin said.
"Oh, I see." Li Xu looked at her resolute expression, and knew that the two maids couldn't move her, so they had to agree to her unreasonable request
"In order not to cause trouble, I can only go with you alone, and come back after checking the situation." Ice Heart said.

What is this task?
Looking at the strict task restrictions, as well as the task punishment that scared people to death, and the task rewards that didn't seem to be very high, Li Xu was a little puzzled.
An optional prop, this mission reward, why didn't the system explain the quality of the prop?
