Chapter 3, Surprising Snow

Le Jing smiled for a long time again, and then said seriously: "It is for that heavy gaze, isn't it?"

Le Jing smiled wryly as he approached the lord, displaying an unprecedented sincerity, "General Yun ... ..."

However, this heavy gaze

Heavy Eyes

At this moment, she truly had no leisure to attend to her appearance—she was pushing the cart with one hand, covered in snow and mud, yet still striving to move forward

The last shred of reason seemed to scream in my mind ... ... dual pupils ... ...

In the interplay of shadows and reflections, a shimmering brilliance emerges, reminiscent of the somber melancholy at the edge of the underworld, yet also akin to the pristine clarity following a snowfall. A mere fleeting glance can leave one utterly entranced, with spirit and mind adrift

Yun Shi cast a glance at him, his expression calm and composed, yet his hands were already clenched so tightly that they turned pale

Le Jing also ceased his laughter, rising to stand behind the commander, he consoled, "You did not intend it either, providing more support along the way can be considered a form of compensation"

Although he was far away, he still saw the old cow suddenly collapse. So, who was it that acted in the shadows

On the day the army returned, the first snow fell in Gumo City

It was as if he had just realized his own fury, as Yun Shi incredulously gazed at his own palm—he could hardly believe that he would lay such a vicious hand on a mere woman

He sighed, his voice tinged with regret. "Among the Sixteen Kingdoms of the Northern Region, Gumo has always maintained a good relationship with the Celestial Empire. The current king of Gumo even married a princess of the empire—if their daughter inherits the prominent eyes of the imperial family, it would not be surprising at all..."

Bao Jin shouted and hurriedly chased after, but it was of no use. She watched as both the person and the cart were about to tumble to the bottom of the valley. She glanced around and, with lightning speed, launched two silver needles from her hand

He suppressed all his emotions and asked in a low voice: "Who are you?"

Who are you again

The clouds were calm and undisturbed, yet he glanced back at the valley floor, and a sense of doubt arose within him

Season's Greetings

Looking at his detestable smiling face, Yun Shi's head began to throb violently again. He gritted his teeth and said in a low voice: "She is not a beauty, nor did I use force."

Who is acting behind the scenes

The young girl sat by the case, holding a jade cup that sparkled, with only half a cup of leftover wine.

In the distant gaze, the ancient city walls are covered by a blanket of snow, and it seems that only a monotonous white remains between heaven and earth

However, regardless of friend or foe, there were indeed very few people who were merely watching. Countless carts were stuck in the snow, some even frozen. In the vast snowy expanse, everyone was doing their utmost to save themselves

Ji Xin let out a scream, but she did not have time to let go of her hand. Her body was dragged by the massive vehicle frame, rolling and colliding down the slope, her cries growing increasingly tragic

Baojin was also pondering this issue. She looked at the intact silver needle in her hand and cast an incredulous glance at the bottom of the valley, her heart filled with uncertainty and doubt

The voice was dignified and elegant, calm and peaceful, yet it was difficult to discern any sense of welcome.

The vehicle continued to plummet, but the momentum had slowed. A long whip flew through the air, its tip seemingly possessing a spirit as it tightly ensnared the person. The ox cart tumbled down into the valley with a thunderous sound, and Ji Xin's body was lifted entirely into the air, her garments fluttering wildly. Amidst the cheers of the crowd, she was swept up.

The cold air is filled with ominousness, as if even the heavens are saddened and shedding tears for the fall of this ancient capital that has stood for a thousand years. A long line, stretching out of sight, is moving through the snow.

The response was a moment of silence, followed by a light laugh

This early snowfall came down heavily and densely, not letting up for several days. During the day, the snow accumulated, making it difficult to walk, but at night, once it froze, it became treacherously slippery.

Hahaha ... ...

In the next moment, the old ox let out a painful bellow and collapsed to the ground

Heterochromia !!!

He strode forward, his towering shadow completely enveloping her. He reached out and forcefully dragged her down from the desk, unceremoniously throwing her onto the floor of the hall.

The tranquility of the entire hall was shattered in this moment

He seemed to have thought of something again and murmured, "It is indeed strange that the Gu Mo King has already died for his country, and even his corpse has been buried deep in the ice and snow. His relatives and old friends have either been killed or strictly monitored, yet why is it necessary to transport them all the way to the capital?"

At this moment, the yoke was finally pulled out from the snow, and amidst the cheers of the crowd, they inevitably relaxed their grip. Suddenly, with a loud bang, the yoke slipped on the ice and fell straight down the slope ahead.

He trembled all over, the confusion in his eyes fading in an instant, replaced by a blazing fury, while the snow blade in his hand sang softly.

The old ox pulling the cart was startled and galloped down the slope at full speed

... ...

Princess, please take a rest

Cloud Master

The blood-red hue swayed gently in her hand, "A guest has come from afar, yet the fine wine has already been consumed, I am truly ashamed..."

I never expected it...

Her beautiful hair cascades down like a waterfall, a dark ribbon trailing on the bright snow-covered ground, flakes of snow accumulating in her hair, resembling a head adorned with exquisite jade.

A subtle haze floated across Yun Shiqingjun's elegant brows. He lowered his eyes, pondered for a moment, and then slowly said: "Your Majesty, your wisdom is unparalleled; such words should be spoken less in the future."

He was overjoyed as he played with the fan, laughing and saying: "You are known for your calm and reserved demeanor, yet who would have thought that upon meeting the princess, you would be unable to maintain your composure..."

Upon closer inspection by the soldiers, they discovered that the one who had saved the person with a whip was actually the commander of the army, Yun Shi, which immediately caused a thunderous cheer to erupt in the snow-covered ground

He clicked his tongue and pretended to rise, saying, "I must go and see what kind of enchanting beauty that princess possesses to provoke you into using force!"

A faint moan arose, only to be quickly suppressed and unheard. The young girl collapsed to the ground, her left arm bent and hanging down, her face even paler, while her cherry lips had lost their color, having been bitten by her own teeth.

Congratulations to Lord Yun—His Majesty has heard of your conquest of Gumo City and has dispatched a royal envoy to bestow upon you the title of Prince Jing, with a lifespan of a thousand years

I don't want to have my tongue cut out yet!

In an instant, the clouds swayed his mind, and the killing intent in his eyes gradually subsided, causing the blood-stained long sword in his hand to relax slightly

He stole a glance outside the tent and said softly, "Your Majesty's thoughts are becoming increasingly difficult to fathom..."

The atmosphere in the tent was one of solemnity, yet outside, the sound of swift riders could be heard. The two exchanged a glance, their hearts filled with suspicion, when a personal guard entered the tent to report.

Ji Xin gritted her teeth and helped to hold the reins, her eyes seemingly filled with tears, yet she stubbornly refrained from letting the soldiers around her see her as a joke

I should have thought of that earlier

That was almost mocking, the young girl raised her eyebrows slightly, her expression a mix of pain and playful sarcasm

The slender body fell like the light wings of a butterfly, and amidst the dull sound of impact, a crisp sound of bone cracking was heard

He solemnly addressed, disregarding Yun Shi's astonishment, in a barely audible voice: "Your Majesty's thoughts are treacherous and unpredictable; having achieved such a great merit, you must be cautious and prudent!"

That is

Le Jing closed his folding fan, laughed heartily for a while, and then, under Yun Shi's gaze, managed to restrain himself with difficulty

At this moment, as night begins to fall, the candles in the hall flicker slightly due to the cold wind seeping through the window gaps. In the dim and chaotic atmosphere, the two individuals lock eyes, subtly exhibiting a stance of confrontation.
