Knowing that the prime minister was going to welcome the Eagle King with a national gift, Xue Ji couldn't help but be very happy.

Because of the last time she delayed the time to meet Mingyu Fuxiang, it led to the misreporting of Mingyu Fuxiang, the palace guards were defeated, and the face of the king and queen was gloomy, but there was no specific punishment, but Mingyu Fuxiang changed her attitude in the past and supervised Xue Ji everywhere.

Xue Ji wanted to go out of the palace again, but the two little girls didn't agree.

Under the plum tree in the garden, Xue Ji begged desperately: "Mingyu, Fuxiang, let me go out again!" I have already made it very clear to you, I was not good last time, forget that you were waiting for me outside, Bai Yingchu did not do anything you imagined that would offend me. After explaining for a long time, the two little girls were unmoved.

Xue Ji was very angry, and after lunch that day, she slammed her chopsticks and said loudly: "If you don't agree again, follow me, and then tell my father about my whereabouts, I will go on a hunger strike!"

Mingyu Fuxiang didn't understand the princess's persistence in this matter, and Mingyu said: "Princess, a foreigner, what kind intentions can you have? ”

Floating incense chimed in: "Yes, princess." I also think that you are so eager to see a person who has just met twice, and that the king and queen will know that they will be very unhappy. If that person knows, that person is afraid that he will also snub you because of his pride. ”

Xue Ji covered her ears and shouted, "I don't want to hear, I don't want to listen, I don't want to listen...... jumped up from the stool, and said to the two girls: "I'll tell you again, I'm going to leave the palace now, I'm going to leave the palace, I'm going to leave the palace!"

Walking down the steps, she quickly turned around, glared at the two little girls, and said, "Don't follow, otherwise, I will send you to be a miscellaneous servant, and I will never invite you back to the princess's palace." ”

Mingyu Fuxiang was frightened.

Xue Ji smirked, then turned around and quickly left.

The big tent on the edge of the forest is still there, but except for Bi Kun and Tong Lin, the rest of the people, including the Eagle King, are gone.

Xue Ji is not familiar with Bi Kun and Tong Lin, but she is really unwilling to come here but not see the Eagle King. After hesitating for a long time, she finally pulled the horse up and asked Bi Kun, who was practicing in the open space, "Where is the Eagle King?"

Bi Kun stopped his movements, looked at her, and said after a while: "There is a valley deep in this forest, and the Lord took General He Cong and General Leng Yan to them. ”

This forest belongs to the snow country, but there are many snow leopards, snow wolves and dangerous animals in it, except for very shrewd hunters, most people will never go too deep.

There's a valley deep in?Yukihime had heard of it for the first time.

Bi Kun's personality is more introverted, and he doesn't say a word more. Tong Lin interjected: "Snow Princess, if you really have a heart for the Lord, why don't you find it yourself?" After that, he glanced at Bi Kun, Bi Kun also looked at him, and the two of them laughed together with bad intentions.

Yukihime couldn't tell if they were simply looking down on themselves, or if they were deliberately making a problem for her to choose seriously. Standing in place, she bit her lip and turned on her horse.

The jungle, full of unknown dangers, is not something that girls can set foot in. However, listening to the laughter of the two guys coming from behind, Yukihime was heartbroken, and she beat her horse and ran in the direction of dense trees.

Bi Kun looked at it and arched Tong Lin hard.

Tong Lin was also a little dumbfounded, so he had to take out an iron whistle.

The whistle wasn't loud, but it was sharp. It sounded like a steel wire thrown into the sky, and after a while, a loud eagle whistle came from high in the sky.

An eagle flew back from the direction of the jungle.

Tong Lin used fresh meat to attract it, and Bi Kun quickly wrote a note, put it in an iron paper roll, tied it to the eagle's talons, and let the eagle go.

The eagle flew in the sky for a while, and then flew back to where it had arrived not long ago. And here, it is the end of the Eagle King leading He Cong, Leng Yan and others to open up new roads.

It has been nearly ten days since they arrived in the Snow Country, and the bitter cold weather and poor conditions in the local area have made the Eagle King and his Black Wind guards unaccustomed to it. Every day, in addition to rice and noodles, only a few varieties of vegetables and beef and mutton are eaten, or find some wild vegetables and mushroom stew, and then hunt a wild boar to improve the food - this is all counted, it is very unbearable that eight people in this place, for ten days, only His Royal Highness the Eagle King took a bath on the day the Snow Princess came. The weather in the snow country is cold, and it is not easy to make a fire to boil water. After that, even the Eagle King never took a bath. The eight men stayed for days, and they all stinked so much that they couldn't stand it.

The eagle of the Eagle King searched everywhere for prey, and two days ago, he actually caught a non-venomous snake with a thin wrist. The snake had been pecked to death before it went to heaven, but its body was soft and its blood had just coagulated.

He Cong took the snake over and sniffed it, and there was a sulfur smell on the snake's belly.

When the Eagle King heard the report, he immediately became happy. Needless to say, the place where the little boy (the name of the eagle) caught the snake must have been warm. The smell of sulfur indicates that there is a hot spring in that place. The hot springs nourish the plants and animals that surround the snow, and animals such as snakes are found there when the weather is cold.

On the same day, they followed the guidance of the little boy to the hot spring valley.

After walking for almost half a day, the trees in the forest do not take off fir, larch, golden pine, cypress, etc., as well as Lu Jun pine, three-pointed fir, yew, quince tree, etc., and occasionally see water pine, silver fir and white yew. However, as the terrain gradually decreases, low shrubs have appeared on the ground.

He Cong said, "Your Highness, it seems that the place we are looking for is almost here." ”

The Eagle King nodded and said, "That's right. ”

At this moment, the sun has set, the Eagle King and his subordinates together, set up two marching tents, the Eagle King meditates all night, He Cong, Zhang Han and him are together, one sleeps, one watches the horse, and the two hours are replaced. Leng Yan took Zhao Qi and Yuan Bin, and the three of them took turns to keep vigil.

There was a lot of hay and dead branches in the hollows, and He Cong and Leng Yan added more fire to the fire before they rested.

At night, the sound of animals walking and wild beasts roaring can be heard in the woods from time to time. A few snow wolves spotted them, and in the dark night, a few green fires were always hovering a few feet away. Afraid of the fire, I didn't dare to step forward. And in the second half of the night, an hour and a half before the early morning, a giant wolf saw that the light of the fire was gradually fading, and could not help but run and pounce.

It locks in on horses. Six horses, in the eyes of a hungry snow wolf, were a fine delicacy. However, one of Zhang Han and Zhao Qi on duty can solve it. The Black Wind Guards under the Eagle Throne have sharp swordsmanship, and it is effortless to kill a wolf.

As for the other snow wolves, some of them want to attack the people inside the tent. However, to their disappointment and horror, the wolf that ran at the front, a foot away from the tent, met a cloud of silver light. Before the wolf could scream, he tumbled and fell to the fire, and then lay down on the ground and convulsed.

In the fire, the red ashes still "crackled". The beast's throat was bleeding profusely, staining its stiff hair a blood-red color, and the misery of the situation made its fellow creatures fearful.

Of the other two snow wolves, one is attacking the other tent, and the other is attacking from behind. The one who changed the target was also hit by the sword, but when the throat was cut, the beast screamed desperately and fell to the ground, and its four claws twitched for a long time before it died. And the one who attacked from a different angle, across the tent, was hit in the stomach, and his five organs were immediately shattered. The snow wolf fell to the ground, not dead for a moment, and its body writhed in pain.

In the early hours of the morning, when the sky gradually brightened, and when Zhang Han, Zhao Qi, and Yuan Bin put away the tent, several wolf corpses were scattered on the ground, and they were already hard.

The Eagle King had some dry food and gave the order to set off. Because there were more and more plants on the ground, they had to slow down after galloping fast for nearly an hour. With the addition of vines and plants, the Eagle King had to unload the benefactor's shelf, and together with He Cong and others, he waved his weapon to clear the obstacles on the road. While overcoming thorns and thorns, he marched into the depths, and by the afternoon, a flat terrain finally appeared in front of him.

A patch of grass stretched out in front of him, and a mile away, he saw a babbling stream flowing continuously. The climate here is close to the early spring in Penglai, and the flowing stream even carries the heat of the curling air.

Yuan Bin shouted, and took off his clothes while running with great joy. With only a pair of underwear, he threw himself into the stream.

The temperature of the stream is not high, and it is slightly cool, but for those who have been practicing martial arts for a long time, there is nothing wrong with it. Yuan Bin washed his feelings for a while, then turned his head and shouted to the others: "Come here, come here, it's just wonderful, really good!"

He Cong, Leng Yan, Zhang Han and Zhao Qi were immediately moved. It's a deep mountain, and there's no one but them. So, the four simply stripped naked and jumped into the stream. A vigorous scrubbing and washing to remove the dirt that had accumulated for more than ten days.

The Eagle King was also informal, and went down to take a pleasant cool bath.

The six men washed the mud from their clothes in water, hung them in the sun, and then made a fire to dry them when the sun went down.

It was a very sweet night's sleep. The softness of Yerba Buena Ground penetrates through the bottom of the tent, making it seem as if you are sleeping directly on a hot bed. The beasts did not haunt this place either, leaving a man to keep vigil for most of the night, and did not find anything unusual.

The next day, the sun rose from behind the valley as soon as it was light. The bright sunlight sowed on a small lake not far away, and the clear blue water reflected the grass and trees on both sides, the scenery was really beautiful.

It took them two days to find such a place, and when they were relaxed, they felt that it was worth it. It's been a long time since he came out, and the Eagle King ordered: Return!

It took two days to grope around, and at this moment, I followed the road and went back quickly, which saved a lot of time.

At three o'clock, we have reached the edge of the warm region. As we move forward, there are more and more tree species endemic to cold regions. In a few moments, the eagle flew in with Bi Kun's short letter.

A loud eagle roar reached the ears of the Eagle King, who raised the whistle on his wrist and blew it into the sky. A sharp signal was heard in the air, and the eagle flew towards him like an arrow off the string.

When he reached the ground, the eagle spread its wings and circled several times before landing on his shoulder. The Eagle King saw that the iron pipe was tied to the eagle's talons, and quickly untied it. took out the letter inside, and when I looked at it, my face suddenly changed.

He Cong asked, "Lord, is something happening outside the forest?"

The Eagle King shook his head.

The five subordinates expressed their surprise one after another.

Then the Eagle King said, "It's the Snow Princess—the Snow Princess has come into the woods." ”

When Leng Yan heard this, he immediately laughed at the sky.

He Cong is a person who is very considerate of others in trouble, and he can't help but worry about the snow princess. This jungle is open and full of dangers, and several of them are men, and they have martial arts to walk boldly. The snow princess is a delicate person, isn't it ridiculous to break into such a jungle?

He Cong thought for a moment and said to the Eagle King, "Lord, you have to find the Snow Princess as soon as possible." ”

The Eagle King bowed his head and said, "That's right, you really have to find her quickly." As he spoke, he touched the beak with his hand, and the eagle seemed to understand his master's intentions, and flapped its wings and flew high into the air.

The Eagle King divided his five subordinates into three groups, He Cong acted alone, Leng Yan and Zhang Han acted alone, Zhao Qi and Yuan Bin were grouped, plus himself, and the four of them searched in four directions. They have a strong ability to survive in the wild, and they are good at understanding the sky and the direction. Gallop and search the entire forest.

After noon, before the hour, Zhao Qi and Yuan Bin discovered the princess's whereabouts in a tree pit.

Yukihime was chased here by a snowfield fox and fell into a tree pit for more than two hours. Zhao Qi and Yuan Bin contacted the Lord with an eagle whistle, and after the Eagle King got the message, it didn't take long for him to rush here.

Yukihime, who was rescued from the tree pit, was covered in mud, her face and hands were bruised, her hair was scattered, and she was in a mess. When the Eagle King Pegasus arrived, she was so weak and aggrieved that she just wanted to cry, Yuan Bin and Zhao Qi looked at it, embarrassed. The Eagle King jumped off his horse and walked quickly in front of her, Yukihime suddenly couldn't control it, flew down into the Eagle King's arms, put his arms around the Eagle King's neck with both hands, and then, "Wow Wow" cried.

Tears mixed with the dirt, painting the blood-stained little face like a flower cat.

The Eagle King took out his fine handkerchief and wiped it for her.

Yukihime vented enough, and her eyes turned into hearts.

The Eagle King put his arm around her, coaxing the child as if he were saying comforting words such as "It's okay, it's okay," and said patiently in a gentle tone: "Let's go back first, it's still deep in the jungle, and it's very inconvenient to go one night." ”

Xue Ji twitched and hooked up, and finally pulled out of his arms.

Her horse was found and led by He Cong. However, at this time, Xue Ji is full of thoughts about relying on the man she loves, where do you still want to ride a horse by herself?

The Eagle King himself was really very talkative, and Yukihime didn't want to go alone, so he got on his horse first, and then stretched out his hand and pulled her in front of him.

Yukihime sat on the black dragon horse, leaned back, and the whole person leaned into his arms. The Eagle King is willing to give her such protection, and Yukihime naturally enjoys the safety and warmth he gives her. The Eagle King lifted the reins and circled his horse on the way.

He Cong, Leng Yan and others rode horses to follow.

After running for another two hours, they finally returned to the edge of the forest.

Bi Kun and Tong Linke were so overjoyed when they saw the Eagle King coming back that they came up to take over. Yuan Bin stewed a pot of soup with wild vegetables picked in the hot spring valley, Zhao Qi steamed thirty steamed buns, Zhang Han shaved twenty catties of cooked beef he bought, and the eight masters and servants gathered together and ate a hot dinner. When eating, Yuan Bin asked Bi Kun and Tong Lin to go to the hot spring valley to take a bath as soon as the sky was bright. According to the route already known, the horse went quickly, and it took only a day to go back and forth. When I came back in the evening, I still had time to eat the wild vegetable soup he cooked.

The Eagle King said, "Wait a few more days, and after a few days, we can go." ”

This started with Bi Kun, Tong Lin, Zhang Han, Zhao Qi, and Yuan Bin didn't understand, He Cong and Leng Yan knew better, but it was not as good as the Eagle King to understand in his heart.

He Cong watched the five guys rise with a suspicious expression, picked up the steamed buns, and stuffed one in each person's mouth. Yuan Bin shouted, and He Cong reprimanded: "Eat your food well, the Lord commands, you just do it." ”

The Eagle King smiled as he watched his subordinates frolic.

Let's say that in the big tent, Bi Kun and Tong Lin have already boiled a large pot of hot water and put it in a wooden barrel for the snow princess to bathe. The outside of the tent was full of men, and there was not even a confidant who guarded the door. But Yukihime couldn't care about it, so she took off her clothes and soaked in the water. It was very warm in the king's tent, and when he came out of the water after bathing, he did not feel cold.

On the shelves behind the screen, clothes for the women were placed. Xue Ji picked it up one by one, and at first felt that it was inappropriate, but when she saw that the pale yellow shirt, the apricot yellow Luo skirt, and the pale pink gown were all beautiful and bright, she couldn't help but like it in her heart. Observing from such a close distance, Yukihime realized that the patterns on the clothes were not painted, but embroidered with silk threads one after another. The shirt is embroidered with maple leaves, and because the background color is light, it is only faintly visible. Luo's skirt is a solid color, but I don't know how to make the material, it is soft and smooth, and there is a faint layer of pearl on the surface. Walking around in the light, the pearl light seemed to be alive, and it actually walked around the body. The pink gown is embroidered with graceful orchids, this delicate stitching, this lifelike flowers, so that Xue Ji has to wear it, and then carry the skirt herself, looking left and right, her heart is happy.

The Eagle King whispered outside the tent: "Cher-"

When Xue Ji heard this, she hurriedly said "um".

The Eagle King said, "Have you put on the clothes I prepared for you?"

Yukihime didn't answer.

The Eagle King smiled outside and said, "Do you still like it?"

Yukihime's face was full of shame, and it took a long time before she said, "You can come in." ”

The Eagle King came in through the tent. Inside the big tent, a young girl stood in a pavilion, with long black hair draped over her back, setting off a delicate face that was as soft as a fairy. The blurred eyes that can only be found in dreams, the nose that is quite delicate and delightful, and the delicate and plump cherry lips...... Together, it's as beautiful as a painting.

The clothes were obviously specially prepared for the princess of Snow Country. Shirts and gowns that were supposed to be wide-sleeved to keep warm were made into narrow-sleeved styles that wrap tightly from the arms to the wrists. Luo's skirt stretches the already slender body longer, and an apricot waist binds the slender waist, making it even more graceful.

The Eagle King is a very normal man, and the sudden strong beauty makes his blood flow faster. A hot breath rose rapidly in the lower abdomen, and then, the uncontrollable impulse flew to all corners of the body like a beast.

His eyes were unconsciously on fire.

Yukihime and him looked at each other. The intelligent girl immediately sensed what was very likely to happen next.

The Eagle King's steps were slightly solemn, and his body moved closer to her.

Yukihime stared at him, a little scared, but more of a non-rejection of him.

Bai Yingchu, who has cleaned her life, can be regarded as the beauty among men. Needless to say, his facial features are self-explanatory, except for Yukihime, there are not many women in the world who can surpass him. The eyes are slightly slender, but it is precisely because of this that he has less of a woman's grace and more femininity that a man has. The slanted sword eyebrows and the rigid lines of his face added to his heroic spirit. He wears a royal blue shirt embroidered with a dragon, and still wears expensive accessories on his intricately embroidered belt.

Heroes love beauties, and beauties also love extraordinary heroes.

Xue Ji pressed the shyness in the girl's heart, put aside the fear of the unknown, and enthusiastically accepted the other party's temptation. The Eagle King slowly walked up to her, his blood about to burn, but he finally only raised his hand and pinched Yukihime's chin.

This sharpened and smooth chin is also a piece of art, and the Eagle King felt the beautiful enjoyment in his eyes brought by the beauty, slowly lowered his head, and kissed gently.

Lips to lips, cool, moist, make Yukihime's mind go blank for a moment.

The Eagle King's hand slowly passed over her smooth face, caressed her soft neck, passed over the sharp shoulders, and finally stopped at the pinched waist.

This waist is as soft as a willow.

As a man, I really want to put its owner down on the spot, and then be honest and take possession of it.

This kiss, delicate and dense, lasted for a long time.

When the Eagle King raised his head and his gaze fell on Yukihime's face again, Yukihime's face was so red that she could barely breathe, and she was limp and leaned into his generous embrace.

Never a familiar stranger, but eventually became a lover, Yukihime leaned on his arms and was reluctant to leave even for half a moment.

Yukihime said, "Go and ask my father to marry me?" and let my father promise to marry me to you. ”

The Eagle King said, "I have come for you, and if you don't say it, I will go." ”

Yukihime looked up in surprise and said, "I thought you were just talking-"

The Eagle King smiled and said, "You have been with me for a long time, and you know that I have never just talked about it. ”

Don't mention the joy in Xue Ji's heart, and when she got close to him again, she was moved.

Xue Ji said: "I have heard people say that there is fate between people, you are so far away in Penglai, I am in the snow country, but you can hear my name, and then come for me, this is fate." He raised his face and asked, "What do you say?"

The Eagle King replied with a smile: "Of course, if it weren't for hearing about Xue'er's fame, how could I have met such a beautiful woman in my lifetime." ”

Yukihime was shy and happy, and whispered, "Do you really think I'm beautiful?"

The Eagle King did not hesitate and nodded.

It was getting late, and the two were reluctant to separate. This time, it was changed to Leng Yan to send Yukihime back to the royal city. Leng Yan is a person who doesn't put himself in an embarrassing situation, so he sent Xue Ji to the edge of the royal city and left.

And Xue Ji's heart is full of sweetness and joy under the joy of the two loves, and she doesn't care about his slackness.

Back in the Flawless Palace, Xue Ji only rested for one night, and then urged Mo Kun to hurry up and let Zuo Xiang go to greet the king of Tiandu. Mo Kun already knew about her sneaking out of the royal city yesterday, and he was angry in his heart, but his face did not show it. He made a fatherly appearance, and said to Xue Ji with a smile: "Okay, okay, if you are in such a hurry, I will immediately let Zuo Xiang start to prepare." ”
