Uncle, don't overdo it

Lin Xiner turned her head to look at Ximenche, and said cheerfully, "Okay, let's go."

Ximenche was taken aback, he didn't expect Lin Xiner to answer so simply, he thought she would excuse herself.

"What? Aren't you going to leave?" Lin Xiner walked a few steps, seeing that Ximenche was still in a daze, she turned her head and asked.

Only then did Ximenche lose his mind, and hurriedly followed.

The two found a nearby village in the mountains, found two sets of simple folk clothes to change into, and after Lin Xiner modified them, the two looked like a man and woman fleeing, and then set out on the road.

Following those mountain people who had fled to other places, avoiding the territory where the two sides were fighting, Lin Xiner and Ximenche let go of their speed and left in the direction of the capital.

Although Ximen Che's martial arts were not high, his Shadow Breaking Kungfu was not low, and it was almost comparable to Lin Xiner's Lightness Kungfu.

Soon, the two of them traveled a long distance and arrived in a town. Due to the impact of the war in the mountains, the people in the town also closed their doors, and there was not a single person on the street.

I found a horse farm, but no one took care of it. A few horses were tied in the stables, and there was not much fodder in the stone trough.

The two picked a horse each, and rode away. It cannot be said that they behaved like bandits. When people in the racecourse saw someone buying a horse, they dared not even leave the house. They were afraid that it was someone who was fighting to buy military supplies. For ordinary people, it is not good to do or not to do it. If you are afraid of getting into trouble, it is better to turn a blind eye and close your eyes and pretend that you have not seen anything.

"Road around the mountain." Lin Xiner stopped the horse and turned the horse's head.

At this time, they had been running non-stop for a day and a night. Seeing that the capital was getting closer and closer, as long as they passed through Huai'an County, they would set foot on the piece of land that they hadn't seen for many days. , very puzzled.

"If we go to Huai'an County, it will take longer for us to return to the capital." Lin Xiner said as she rode her horse to the other side of the mountain road.

She doesn't want to explain too much to Ximenche now. Ximen Hai and Brother Thumb last appeared near Wulifeng before, and Wulifeng is a link connecting the capital and Huai'an County, so Huai'an County is very likely to have Ximen Yin's huge stronghold established outside Beijing, if they show up in Huai'an County at this time, if they are found to be abnormal, it will inevitably bring resistance. Compared with winding the mountain road and lengthening the road, it will be easier and smoother.

Seeing that Lin Xiner had already run away first, Ximen Che had no choice but to keep up.

After entering the deep mountains, the horse had no way to continue riding, so he had to abandon it halfway.

It was snowing again in the gloomy sky, and the original snow on the ground had not yet melted. This rugged mountain road was more difficult than usual.

Soon, a thick layer of snow fell on both of them.

Feeling thirsty after walking, Lin Xiner grabbed the white snow that had gathered on the treetops beside her and stuffed it into her mouth.Ximenche was also hungry and thirsty. Seeing Lin Xiner like this, he also grabbed a handful. The cool snowflakes fell into his stomach. It was pure white that fell from the sky, but he felt abnormally dry in his stomach.

Ximenche couldn't help frowning, thinking how sad that his pampered prince would live a life thirsty for snow.

"In the winter in northern Xinjiang, when Xi Wu was thirsty, he always grabbed the snow around him and ate it. It was cold and clear. His Royal Highness didn't think that the snowflakes falling from the sky were the most clear and untainted things in the world. Is it?" Lin Xiner asked as she walked.

Ximenche didn't answer. If he hadn't had this experience, he would never have thought of using snow to quench his thirst. When he was besieged in the hunting ground, he watched the soldiers eat the snow as usual, and he was still drinking the last remaining snow in his skin. under the water.

Lin Xiner didn't really want to know Ximen Che's answer, her attention was attracted by the sound of Xisuo from a distance, and she lightly walked around behind a thick tree trunk.

Seeing this, Ximen Che quickly hid himself, obviously he also heard the strange noise.

"Miss Lin, please come out, we have been ordered to wait for the girl here for a long time."

The distant voice approached and stopped not far from the mountain in front.

Immediately calling out her name, Lin Xiner didn't need to hide any longer. She emerged from behind the tree, shook off the snowflakes on her body, climbed up a few steps, and met the two people in white cotton robes.

White is the best protective color in the snow. If you are an expert, wearing a white robe and hiding in the snow, it is really difficult to be found. Although these two people who appeared by accident are not necessarily experts, they are indeed much more open.

"You knew I would come?" Lin Xiner asked, paying attention to the two unidentified people.

"At this time, only Miss Lin will pass by here, please!" One of them said, stretching out his hand in a gesture of "please".

And the other said loudly in the direction where Ximenche was hiding, "Your Excellency, you don't need to hide, please show yourself."

Ximenche came out from behind another tree, stood beside Lin Xiner, and looked at her questioningly.

"So it's His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." The two recognized Ximen Che at a glance.

Ximenche's heart tightened, and he couldn't help but grasp the hilt of the sword at his waist.

Lin Xiner glanced at Ximenche's nervous hand, and said to the two people, "Didn't you say you were ordered to wait for me? Where are you going to take us?"

"You two, please come with us." One of them said, leading the way up the mountain first.

Lin Xiner lifted her heels up.

Seeing this, Ximenche hesitated and grabbed Lin Xiner's sleeve.

Although he was annoyed at her all the way, and his prejudice against her was getting heavier and heavier, but at this time they came together all the way, putting aside all the disputes, shuttling through the snow-capped mountains, and had to admit that the one beside him was A woman with an ethereal fairy air who can merge with the heaven and the earth.

Silently following behind her, the feeling of irritability will gradually fade away, and the heart that has been far away will want to approach quietly when there is no one to rely on.

"Do you think it's possible for us to avoid it?" Lin Xiner smiled disapprovingly, and gently brushed Ximen Che's hand away.

Turn around and continue walking up the mountain.

Since the other party is waiting for the rabbit, the two rabbits that hit the tree stump will not escape easily. Whether the other party is an enemy or a friend must be seen.

Going around the rugged hillside with almost no roads, Lin Xiner and Ximenche were brought outside a simple shed.

The shed was temporarily built with branches and weeds from the mountains, and it seemed to be crumbling under the increasing wind and snow.

"Conditions are limited, this is the only way, His Royal Highness, Miss Lin, please!"

Lin Xiner concentrated and calmed down, feeling that there was nothing unusual in the surroundings except for the sound of wind and snow, and there was no fifth person in the shed except for the smoke from the bonfire and the smell of barbecued meat coming out from the narrow window. breath.
