After Mochizuki returned to the royal city, the first thing he did was to visit the little snow rabbit in Wutongju, and before he had to go to Qingyang with the elite troops of the royal city to participate in the war, the most reassuring thing was to leave her here alone.

Since the death of her sister-in-law Miao Xue You, Snow Rabbit has fallen into deep self-blame, if she hadn't been defenseless and was captured by Qingyun's men many times, her mother would not have died to save her. She hates Qingyun, and hates her own incompetence even more, her demonic power is not strong enough, and she is not good at fighting, she is a burden to others whenever and wherever she is, and this time she even killed her mother.

What she can't let go of the most is that after learning that her father's death was related to her mother, her attitude towards her mother has been extremely cold, no matter how much her mother wants to get her forgiveness, she tries all kinds of ways to avoid her, and even deliberately hurts her heart. As a result, until her mother died, it didn't give her peace of mind, leaving her with only regret now.

Seeing her so depressed, the most distressing thing is Mochizuki. In his eyes, the child Snow Rabbit is really pitiful, she has no father before she was born, and now her mother has left her, leaving her alone in this world. But he didn't know how to comfort her, because he had also lost his parents since he was very young and was brought up by his brother, so he understood that no matter how others persuaded him, he was pale and powerless, and the pain of losing his parents would not even be taken away by time, but slowly, he himself began to develop antibodies to that pain, and it would no longer be too obvious.

Mochizuki came all the way to Wutong House, and as soon as he entered the yard, he saw the little snow rabbit sitting on the swing, she seemed to have been waiting for him, and when he saw him come in, he jumped off the swing and said, "Uncle Mochizuki, I've been waiting for you for a long time!" ”

Judging from the snow rabbit's expression, her mood has calmed down a lot compared to when he left, although the sadness in her eyebrows is still faintly visible, but the whole person is not as sluggish as before.

It was a good thing, and Mochizuki couldn't figure out what made her recover so quickly, so she asked, "Really?" How are you? ”

"Well......" Snow Rabbit said directly to his own situation, "I don't want to talk about that for now, I have figured out how to find the man who killed my mother." He's probably lurking very close to us, and maybe he hasn't left yet. ”

"Oh? Let's talk about it! Mochizuki finally understood why Snow Rabbit was so much more perked up than when he left, it turned out that she was bent on catching the traitor who killed her mother.

"I didn't see the man, but I remembered the smell of him, and the smell of oil smoke on his body was very strong." Snow Hare said with certainty.

"I saw the man's appearance!" Not only did Mochizuki see the man's appearance clearly, but he also had a trick with him, and he suspected that the man was actually a dream.

"Exactly, I guess that the traitor will work in the kitchen of Chenji Palace?" Snow Hare continued.

"If you analyze it this way, it's possible!" Mochizuki agrees with Snow Rabbit's analysis, but he is still worried, "If that person is a dream ear, I'm afraid he can use other people's bodies to change identities at will!" ”

"Anyway, can you start with the demon servants who are in charge of the kitchen of Chenji Palace?" Snow Hare pleaded.

"Good! I'm starting to investigate in the shadows! Mochizuki touched the little snow rabbit's head distressedly and asked, "I'm relieved to see you cheer up!" ”

"I don't have that much time to be sad because I'm too weak in every way, so I'm always a burden to everyone else, and now it's time for me to do my part to help you." Snow Rabbit wanted to be coquettish with Mochizuki, and although her tears were rolling in her eyes, she still endured it, "I also thought of a place that might be the hiding place of that traitor, that is, the team of soldiers in charge of cooking in the army of Wangcheng. ”

"After I finish investigating Chenji Palace, I will go to the barracks."

"I'm afraid he'll run away by then, and I'd like to try to sneak into the barracks."

"How's that going to work?!" Mochizuki was taken aback by Snow Rabbit's words, and although it was good that she could cheer up, it was unacceptable for him to put her in danger.

"I inquired, and it was the two girls of the Ma Demon family who were usually responsible for delivering wine to the barracks, and I wanted to dress up as them to deliver wine, just so that I could have direct contact with the soldiers in charge of cooking." Snow Rabbit has already had a plan of its own.

"No! It's too dangerous! I've played with that man, and he's better than you! Mochizuki dismissed her idea.

"I'm not going to fight him, I'm just making sure he's not there, and then you can catch him." The snow hare is still holding on.

"I'm still not at ease...... "Mochizuki is not worried about Snow Rabbit going alone anyway, but he can't pretend to be a girl who delivers wine, so he suddenly thought of someone, "Otherwise, I'll ask Xia Qiu to go with you." ”

"Will Sister Xia Qiu agree?" Snow Hare asked with a wink of eyes.

"She's going to say yes!"

Mochizuki returned to Chenji Palace and told Xia Qiu and the others about his and Snow Rabbit's plans, and she really agreed.

Thinking that Snow Rabbit had just lost her mother and cheered up so quickly, Xia Qiu admired her and couldn't help but praise: "Snow Rabbit is really a strong girl, I am not as good as her!" ”

"I didn't expect that going through so much would make her grow up a lot." Mochizuki felt both distressed and somewhat comforted.

Xia Qiu and Snow Rabbit soon found the small shop in Wang Cheng that was responsible for delivering wine to the army, which specialized in all kinds of demon liquor. The owner of the shop, Arima Youkai and his wife, have twin daughters, and it is the sisters who usually deliver wine everywhere.

Because the sisters felt that their faces were not beautiful enough, they covered their faces when they went out, which was beneficial to Xia Qiu and Snow Rabbit.

They were first dressed up by the sisters as they usually looked, and then they learned how to drive the yak beasts that hauled the wine. This yak beast is nearly twice the size of a human yak, and its hair is black and shiny, especially a strand of hair on its back that can almost drag it to the ground. They have a pair of bull's eyes, as big as two small bowls, and their snorts are very heavy, so people can't help but be a little resistant to approaching them, but in fact, they are docile animals, and even a little timid, yelling may disturb them, and make them desperate to escape.

So if you want to control them, the most important thing is to make sure that they don't feel scared. Xia Qiu and Snow Rabbit followed the example of the two horse demon sisters, while stroking the back of the yak beast, and whispered to it: "Black Bull, be good! ”

When the yakmon's snort began to become even, the horse demon sisters knew that it was used to Xia Qiu and the snow rabbit, and they were wearing the clothes that the sisters usually wore, so the yakmon quickly took off their previous guard against them.

Normally, the sisters would deliver wine to the barracks at a fixed time two days a week, and that evening was exactly the appointed time. Xia Qiu and the snow rabbit set off from the small shop of the horse demon family, driving the yak beast to the military camp, last time Xia Qiu had inadvertently broken into this place, and left a bad impression, I couldn't help but pray in my heart that everything would go well this time.

In the sunset, she and the snow rabbit walked left and right on both sides of the wooden cart pulled by the yak beast, listening to the crisp copper bell on the yak beast's neck and the creaking sound made when the wheel turned, which was rare and comfortable. Their nerves relaxed, and their steps became more steady.

There was an upward slope in the place where they entered the barracks, and the two of them came to the back of the car very tacitly as the horse demon sisters usually do, and helped the yak beast push up a few steps, and after reaching the flat ground, they returned to their original positions.

When the soldiers in charge of guarding the camp saw them, they beckoned them in, and they followed the route the two sisters had told them in advance, first going straight and then turning left...... I went to find a place to cook in the army. Fortunately, the soldier in charge of cooking happened to be cooking at this time, and with the guidance of the cooking smoke, they quickly found the right place.

They saluted the soldier who greeted them first, who had apparently been acquainted with the two sisters for a long time, and said to them, "Wait a minute, and I'll call the others to carry the wine." ”

After saying that, he turned around and left, Xia Qiu glanced at the snow rabbit, wanting to make sure if it was the person just now, and when he saw that she shook her head, he knew that it was not.

After a while, several young soldiers came one after another, and began to unload the jars of wine from the cart. Xia Qiu and the snow rabbit were next to them, listening carefully to their conversation.

But after listening to it again, Snow Rabbit felt that none of them looked like the traitor who had captured him, and when he was about to give up, a younger soldier ran over and said to the oldest soldier in charge: "Boss, there are a lot of new ingredients in the warehouse, I'm afraid there is no place to put wine!" ”

Although it was only this sentence, Snow Rabbit was already 100% sure that he was the traitor who had robbed her, because she would never forget his voice no matter what, and the rest would wait to go back and tell Ouyang Xiaoleng and Mochizuki about their discovery.

The young soldier who came later was extremely alert, looking back and forth at the horse demon sisters dressed as Xia Qiu and Snow Rabbit, and it was clear from his eyes that he had doubts about their identities.

By this time, all the wine had been unloaded from the car, and the soldiers helped the sisters stack the empty wine cans again. Xia Qiu and Snow Rabbit were afraid that those soldiers would talk to them, because once they spoke, their identities would be completely revealed. Fortunately, because the elite troops had just returned from Qingyang, their food could not be delayed, so their leader happily gave them wine money and sent them away.

Not far from the camp, the snow rabbit said to Xia Qiu with certainty: "That's the person!" ”

"That man is indeed suspicious! He looked like he was here to ask if there was anything he could do, but he was actually looking at both of us! Xia Qiu nodded in response.

"We must hurry back to Chenji Palace and tell the others all this, lest he feel that things are not good and run away first." The snow rabbit tensed.

"Hmm!" Xia Qiu nodded and quickened her pace.

They returned the cart pulled by the yak beast to the horse demon family, hurriedly expressed their gratitude to them, and rushed back to Chenji Palace, only to meet Mochizuki. After investigating the demon servants in charge of eating and drinking in the entire Chenji Palace, he didn't find any suspicious characters, and he couldn't feel at ease with Snow Rabbit and Xia Qiu, so he was preparing to greet them.

"I think we've found that guy! Sure enough, he is lurking in the army of the royal city! The snow rabbit couldn't hide the anger in his heart and said to Mochizuki.
