Chapter 249: Tuoba Chen
The defender shook his head.
With such an outstanding appearance, he would definitely make it difficult if he saw it, so he dared to use the head of Xiang as a guarantee, and he had never seen it!
The soldier said: "Stick it on the city gate, the county lord has an order, and from now on everyone who goes out of the city must be carefully investigated!" β
"Roger!" The defenders cheered up and looked carefully at the figures on the portraits, and the recognition was still very high.
The soldier did not dare to delay for a moment, turned on his horse, struck the gong and hurried to the next gate.
Ning Shu also glanced at the portrait curiously, and then silently wanted to walk out of the city gate.
"Stop!" The defender snorted coldly, "Didn't you hear what you just said?" The county lord has an order to carefully check everyone! β
Ning Shu's hoarse voice sounded from under the robe, "This little brother, the portrait is obviously a man, but the old woman is a womanββ"
"Then check it too!" The city defenders only saw Ning Shu's graceful figure through their robes, and they didn't expect her to be an old woman.
But the words have already been spoken, so I can only step forward and ask: "Why did you go out of the city?" β
"The old woman is a doctor, and she wants to go to the Northern Cold Mountain to find rare medicinal herbs." As Ning Shu spoke, her hands were still swinging up and down.
The robe fluttered in the wind following her movements, and a dirty smell peculiar to the old man was swept away by the wind, and all of it drifted to the noses of the defenders.
The defender pinched his nose and took a step back, disgusted, "How long has it been since you bathed?" β
"It's not that it's too coldβ" Ning Shu wanted to take a step forward and explain.
The defenders hurriedly retreated and waved their hands: "Don't come here, let's go, hurry up!" Such a strong wind can't blow away the stench on your body, phew! β
Xuan Feng nodded and smiled, "I'm sorry for this big brother, my mother is afraid of cold-"
He may have been following the old woman for a long time, I don't know if it was the illusion of the city defenders or the smell on his body, the city guards wrinkled their brows and glared at him: "The old man is afraid of the cold, you are also afraid of the cold?" β
"I-"
"Can you hurry up ahead? If you don't leave, it's going to be dark! There was already a long queue behind him, and someone urged impatiently.
The city defender waved his hand, signaled Xuanfeng to go out of the city, and shouted with a cold face: "What are you arguing about?" The county lord has an order to strictly investigate, and if you are not satisfied, don't leave the city! β
The words behind were already covered by wind and snow, and Ning Shu, supported by Xuan Feng, gradually drifted away, and could no longer hear them.
Xuan Feng could feel that Ning Shu's body was trembling slightly, even if there was no one around, he still lowered his voice and said, "Madame, no matter how patient you are, as long as we bypass the detour ahead, we can speed up our pace." β
Ning Shu hummed lightly, her excitement was not because she was afraid that someone would chase after her, but after so much hard work, she finally left with Xie Yunyan!
Braving the wind and snow, he climbed the North Cold Mountain.
The hanging Xuanyue emitted a faint light, but fortunately, there was snow everywhere, and the view was not blocked.
Xuan Feng didn't dare to light the torch, took off the water bladder on his waist and handed it to Ning Shu and said, "Madam, this is warm water, you drink it first to warm up." β
Ning Shu took it, her hands and feet were cold, and her whole body was shivering.
A gentle sliding down her throat into her abdomen, she let out a long sigh of relief and asked, "How long is it until the place where you meet Yuan Wu and them?" β
Xuan Feng looked at the boundless snow-capped mountains and shook his head.
"I don't know which way they went, but they just said that they met at the top of the mountain on the other side of the North Cold Mountain."
Ning Shu looked at the majestic mountain, their current location was not even to the mountainside, it seemed that it was really troublesome to not know martial arts.
"Let's go, don't keep them waiting."
Xuan Feng nodded, silently walking behind Ning Shu and carefully protecting.
The sound of clattering snow came and went in the empty mountains.
Mountaineering is a very strenuous task, and stepping on blood droplets to face the wind makes it even more difficult.
Ning Shu walked panting, and her butterfly-like eyelashes were already covered with a layer of frost.
I don't know how long I walked, Xuan Feng suddenly said, "Madam, it's not good! β
Ning Shu stopped, turned around and asked Xuan Feng, "How-"
Her eyes froze, and she could already see a torch like a fiery dragon at the foot of the mountain walking in their direction.
"Let's go!"
Ning Shu no longer hesitated, turned around and left.
Xuan Feng immediately proposed, "Madam, they have been speeding in the snow all year round, and I am afraid that they will be much faster than us. If Madame doesn't mind, can you let your subordinates carry Madame up the mountain quickly? β
Ning Shu glanced at the top of the mountain behind her, and was already looking at it from afar.
"Do you have the stamina to reach the top of the mountain?"
"Yes." Xuanfeng said heavily.
It is about Ning Shu's safety, even if he dies, he will safely hand over Ning Shu to Xie Yunyan before dying.
Ning Shu nodded, "Okay, that's hard work for you." β
Now is not the time to be hypocritical.
Tuoba Yan should have found out that something was wrong, so he would send officers and soldiers to Beihan Mountain, the only way back to Qi to look for people.
At this point, Ning Shu really misunderstood Tuoba Yan.
The people who pursued them were officers and soldiers, but they were not the instigations of Tuoba Yan, but Tuoba Yu, the lord of Lingcheng.
Tuoba Yu rode a horse under his crotch, holding a bow and arrow, staring at the Northern Cold Mountain with gloomy eyes, and said coldly: "Speed up, you can't let them cross the Northern Cold Mountain!" β
Tuoba Yan's face was distorted on the side, "Father, will he really go into the mountain?" β
"It's not him, it's them!" Tuoba Yu affirmed.
"If only Xiao Baihu disappears, my father and aunt believe that he is still in the city." Tuoba Yu's face turned cold, and he looked at his favorite little daughter with a headache, "But even the few people who healed him have disappeared, Yan'er, are you saying it's just a coincidence?" β
Tuoba Chen, who was also riding a horse on the side, covered his mouth and chuckled, "Yan'er, don't say that my brother won't help you, if this matter is known to King Liang, maybe he will deduct a hat of collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country to the Tuoba family!" β
Tuoba Yan gave Tuoba Chen a slap in the eye.
This brother is not the same mother as her, but is the child left by Tuoba Yu's ex-wife.
Since he was a child, he has targeted Tuoba Yan's mother, thinking that it is the appearance of his stepmother that will cause his mother to die of depression.
Because of this, the attitude towards Tuoba Yan has always been scornful.
Tuoba Yan said: "Maybe he just got lost in the city?" β
"Lingcheng is so big, with my father's strength, I can't find anyone, do you believe it yourself?" Tuoba Chen filled his quiver with arrows behind his back, smiled evilly, and rushed into the forest.
"Don't worry, my brother will catch that cheating beast for you, and take him back to feed the dog!"
Tuoba Yan looked at Tuoba Yu's disappearing back, gritted his teeth, and rushed into the mountains and forests with a bow and arrow on his back.
She didn't believe that Xiao Baihu was a brute in her brother's mouth, but she had no better excuse to explain what was in front of her.
She wanted to personally catch Xiao Baihu and ask why she did this to her!
