At the place where the two tied their horses, Mu Lingtian took off the baggage on his shoulders and wanted to hang it on the horse, but suddenly stopped and glanced sideways at Luoxue beside him.
In the depth of winter, Luoxue's body was thin and he had few thick clothes. Mu Lingtian glanced at the baggage in his hand, hung his daily clothes on the horse, and took another baggage with a mink velvet and gold silk cloak. He shouted softly at Luoxue in his hand: "Luoxue..."
"Ah?" Luo Xue held the horse, turned around and looked back. Her slightly parted red lips, slightly blushed cheeks, slender eyebrows, and beautiful autumn eyes smiled gently at Mu Lingtian. She was extremely beautiful, but With a confused look on his face, he asked sweetly: "What's the matter, Master?"
Mu Lingtian picked up the baggage in his hand and handed it to Luoxue. He hesitated and said, "Well... this... it will get colder and colder as we walk towards the Ice Palace. I give you this cloak."
Luoxue was stunned for a moment, and when she realized what she was doing, she couldn't help but feel warm and sweet in her heart. Although she was very touched, she wanted to accept it, but after all, it was the relic of Mu Lingtian's mother, and it was too precious, so Luoxue just smiled lightly at Mu Lingtian. Said: "Master, don't worry, I'm...not cold."
Mu Lingtian knew that Luoxue thought the things were too valuable and was unwilling to accept them, so he said nothing, opened the bag, took out the wooden box, took out the cloak, put his right hand around Luoxue's head, waved the cloak away, and draped it over Luoxue on the body.
Before Luoxue could react, she raised her head slightly and looked at Mu Lingtian, who had a serious look on her face. She felt that she couldn't move and couldn't refuse. The sweetness in her heart was indescribable. She only felt a "thump thump" thump in her chest and her breathing became a little short. , a look of admiration could not help but appear in her beautiful eyes, and she was stunned.
Mu Lingtian tied the cloak on Luo Xue. Luo Xue's white clothes were covered by the red cloak, only revealing the white skirt and the charming face. In that sweet shyness, Luo Xue lowered her head slightly. Of course Mu Lingtian didn't know what Luoxue was thinking. He felt a little embarrassed when he looked at Luoxue, thinking that he had misunderstood Luoxue's meaning, but he couldn't understand why Luoxue reacted like this.
"Ah... Come on, Luoxue, don't you like this cloak?" Mu Lingtian asked in a daze.
Luoxue raised her head, her cheeks were a little red, and her ears were a little hot. She was in a panic, shook her head violently, stretched out her cloak and waved her hand continuously, and explained in a panic: "No, no, sir, don't get me wrong, I like it very much, really like."
"Uh-" Mu Lingtian held it in for a long time, not knowing what to say, so he nodded and said with a smile: "That's good, let's go."
After Mu Lingtian helped Luoxue onto the horse, he also climbed onto the horse and waved the reins gently.
Luoxue looked back at the direction of the house, sighed softly, her eyebrows were slightly lowered, as if she was thinking, she gently shook the reins in her hands, followed Mu Lingtian, and looked at Mu Lingtian in front of her, complicated His expression made him frown.
After walking leisurely for two days, after passing Cuihu Lake, Mu Lingtian and Luo Xue were getting closer and closer to the Binghan Palace.
On a mountain path that was neither wide nor narrow, Mu Lingtian and Luo Xue were walking side by side.
"...Qiu'er...Qiu'er, where are you? Qiu'er, come out quickly, I'm mother..." A woman's wailing voice came.
"Ah Xiong, Ah Xiong, come out quickly, I am your father..."
"Zhu'er, Zhu'er, I'm my mother. Did you hear me? Come out quickly..."
Getting closer and closer, the sound became clearer and clearer, and other shouts followed. It seemed that someone had lost a child, but so many people lost their children at the same time, which made people feel a little strange.
Luoxue was riding on a horse, wearing a cloak, only revealing her stunning face, two strands of slender and soft ear hair, and a happy smile. She seemed to be still immersed in the sweetness in her heart, hearing After coming back to his senses, Luoxue glanced sideways at Mu Lingtian, looked ahead with a worried expression, and whispered: "Young Master..."
Now that he is getting closer and closer to the Ice Palace, Mu Lingtian knows in his heart that Liu Que must have known that his target is the Ice Palace and will definitely send someone to intercept him. However, Mu Lingtian is not afraid and just raises the corners of his mouth slightly. , smiled disdainfully, and said lightly: "It doesn't matter, let's take a look first and then talk."
Turning a corner, you can see two men and two women in the distance, wearing ordinary coarse clothes, shouting and looking around.
One of the women, striding ahead, saw Mu Lingtian and Luo Xue and started running. The other three also rushed over.
With her cumbersome steps, slow movements, panicked aura, and heavy figure, she looked like an ordinary woman, and was unlikely to be a killer. Mu Lingtian lowered his guard a little.
The woman rushed to Mu Lingtian and Luo Xue, panting heavily, looking panicked, with tears in the corners of her eyes, her throat was dry, she swallowed a mouthful of saliva, looked at Mu Lingtian and Luo Xue, and asked with a sob: "Have you seen it? my child?"
Since he is not a killer, so many people have lost their children. Of course, Mu Lingtian cannot ignore it. Holding Canshang in hand, he turned over and dismounted, shook his head and asked, "I wonder what happened?"
The woman frowned, with a trace of despair in her heartbreak. Two tears slipped across the tear stains. She ignored Mu Lingtian's questions and continued to stride forward in a panic: "Qiu'er... come out quickly, I'm your mother." …”
One of the relatively thin men looked at Mu Lingtian, his breathing was a little short, and he sighed and explained: "To be honest, young hero, we are from the previous town. In the past two days, many children have been lost in our town. , everyone suspected that someone was abducting children around here, so everyone went out to look for it. If the young hero meets him, please help him, thank you in advance."
The man saluted Mu Lingtian, strode to follow the other three, and continued to look forward.
Luoxue shook the reins slightly, came to Mu Lingtian's side, frowned and analyzed: "Could this be Liu Que's delaying strategy?"
Mu Lingtian thought silently for a moment and nodded: "It must be the old thief Liu Que who knew my purpose and asked other forces for help, but it was too late, so he wanted to delay me here."
Luo Xue smiled faintly and let out a light breath: "That's easy. We just need to rush to the Binghan Palace quickly, and then these matters will be solved naturally."
Although it is very likely that Liu Que did it, don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of the worst. If someone really abducts the child, what will these people do? What's more, Mu Lingtian already knew about the rumors in the world when he was in Jinshui Town. Mu Lingtian speculated that Ye Xun would definitely let himself go in order to preserve Ye Wushuang's reputation and to allow Ye Wushuang to marry into Hidden Sword Villa. His behavior made Yi Xiaopeng submit, so Ye Xun would never interfere.
"No matter what, let's go ahead and take a look before making a decision." Mu Lingtian got on his horse and rushed towards the small town ahead with Luoxue.
