Chapter 19 Dong Lingxue was ordered to be in danger, and the winter solstice child disappeared mysteriously
Qiu Wuyan thought that she would encounter a heavy snowfall, but after entering the border, she found that the sky here was gloomy and terrifying, and the north wind was howling, and there was not a trace of snowflakes everywhere. As far as the eye can see, there is nothing else in the entire Winter Snow Country except for the crystal and biting ice.
Winter Chopping Wind summoned a few soldiers to bow their heads and whispered, and in a moment, a large cart decorated with snowflake patterns slowly drove over. In front of the cart stood six pure white horses, and the head and back of the horses were decorated with ornaments embroidered with gold filigree, echoing the golden canopy on the cart.
Winter Chopping Wind beckoned everyone to get into the car one by one, and then drove the carriage forward and galloped forward.
Six white horses are running and jumping in the ice and snow like flying snow geese, and Qiu Wuyan is lying on the back seat admiring this ice and snow world that she has never seen before. Suddenly, a dense forest flashed on the right hand, and the dense forest flashed with black and green light, and under the background of this ice and snow, it looked more and more deep and terrifying.
A strange cry came out of the dense forest, and the sound was strange and terrifying, and it shook everyone's hearts. Several groups of white-robed soldiers moved quickly around the dense forest with their skates on their feet.
"Oh no, the snowman is going to come out again. Winter Chopping Wind involuntarily grasped the reins in his hand, and the six white horses ran more and more wildly. In the blink of an eye, a magnificent ice castle appeared in front of everyone.
Winter Chopping Wind tightened its grip on the reins, and the six white horses raised their front hooves and neighed a few times, stopping in front of the ice castle.
I saw Dong Chopping Wind jumping out of the carriage with his arms crossed over his chest and bowing to everyone: "I have sent someone to inform the imperial sister, forgive me for not being able to accompany you if I have something, I hope we will meet again." He then changed into skates and led a group of soldiers to speed towards the dense forest.
Mo Liyan and his party got out of the carriage one by one, and under the guidance of a burly soldier, they stepped up the steps of the ice castle and walked towards the depths of the palace.
The whole ice castle is magnificent, and the ice sculptures of different shapes are vivid and vivid, lined up from the entrance of the palace, and there is no end in sight.
The crowd passed through several arches before they came to a *sacred hall. It seems that this should be the court of the king of the Winter Snow Country. I saw that the whole court hall was arranged in a hexagonal shape, and a snowflake-shaped lamp was hung in the sky above each opposite corner, and I don't know what was burning in the lamp, and a puff of white smoke came out, illuminating the whole court hall brightly and fragrantly.
Qiu Wuyan noticed that except for the arch they had just passed through and the door that was symmetrical to it, there seemed to be a snowflake symbol on the side of each hexagon, and she secretly wondered if it was a hidden secret door. Facing the crowd, a white jade throne carved with a snowflake pattern emitted a lonely and cold light, as if it was calling its owner.
As soon as everyone stood in the center of the hexagon, they saw the wall on the right side of the throne move, and a white figure flashed in. The figure walked straight to the throne and turned to sit down.
It turned out to be a young woman with short ear-length hair, slightly upturned at the ends, and a snowflake-shaped crown on the top of her head, which was inlaid with countless hexagonal diamonds, which glittered in the light. The white jade flawless face has a pair of apricot eyes blazing, wearing a white gold-rimmed bodyly robe, with a golden chain around the waist, a long figure, and the whole person looks beautiful and generous, majestic and dignified.
"You are the guests that Chopping Wind said, I don't know what you are doing when you come to my Winter Snow Country?" There was a hint of majesty in the female voice, sweeping everyone's faces one by one, and finally stopped at Qiu Wuyan.
According to the tradition of the Winter Snow Country, women have always inherited the throne, because the empress is not allowed to marry and have children for life, so after each empress inherits the throne, she will choose the youngest girl with the closest blood relatives and the highest status from the family to succeed as her eldest daughter, add the title of the eldest princess, and train her from an early age, and wait until the empress's 60th birthday, she will automatically step down and resign, and the eldest princess will take over the imperial seal.
According to convention, Dong Lingxue's identity at this moment should still be the eldest princess, because the former queen Dong Lingxiao is far from leaving office. But a sudden disaster befell the Winter Snow Country, and Dong Lingxiao personally commanded the battle, but mysteriously disappeared near the dense forest. The country cannot be without a king for a day, and it is a winter snow country full of disasters, and Dong Lingxue has to take on the heavy responsibility in times of crisis.
"I don't know what's going on with Chopping Wind at the moment?!" Thinking of his younger brother Dong Chopping Wind, Dong Lingxue's heart rose a warm current, in order to protect himself and the safety of the entire Winter Snow Country, Dong Chopping Wind took the initiative to ask for help, guarding the country, pretending to be a snowman, monitoring the dense forest, and never rested for a moment.
"That strange scream just now, is the snowman coming out to rob people again? Can the strategy of stealing beams and changing pillars succeed?" Dong Lingxue's heart was uneasy.
"A wave of unsettled waves, the snowman matter has not been resolved, and now there is such a group of uninvited guests, what is the identity of this group of people, the middle eyebrows are clearly a girl, but why do you want to dress as a man, and the old man with silver hair but no wrinkles has a deep eye, which is really incomprehensible. Thinking of this, Dong Lingxue's heart became more and more messy, and her brows wrinkled unconsciously.
"Venerable Snow Queen, I thought you should be an old woman, but I didn't expect it to be such a young and beautiful sister, my name is Wuyan, this is my master, these two are twelve stars and seven dusts, we originally just wanted to visit the winter snow country, but I didn't expect to see any snowflakes. I don't know what's going on in the Winter Snow Country, can we help?" Qiu Wuyan's pure eyes flashed with sincerity, and people couldn't bear to refuse.
"In this way, these people are my friends in the Winter Snow Country. Now is the time to employ people, looking at the clothes of these people do not look like bad people, it seems that there is still some skill, maybe they (she) can really help something. Dong Lingxue thought in her heart.
"That's how I call a spade a spade. A few years ago, a strange thing happened in the winter snow country, that is, every year the baby born on the winter solstice will mysteriously disappear on the night of birth, at first there was a national newspaper official, just as a daily case of stealing babies, and then for several years, every year on the day of the winter solstice, there are babies disappeared, and the previous connection, only to find that the disappeared are all babies born on the day of the winter solstice. On the day of the disappearance of the last baby, the national treasure of the Winter Snow Country, Mocui Xuexin, was lost for no reason. Dong Lingxue stood up from the throne and walked to Qiu Wuyan's side and said.
"And what does all this have to do with the snowman?" asked Qiu Wuyan, tilting her head.
