The snow at the entrance of the military camp was swept clean, but the edges were not so clean.
The snow fell and was trampled by people, mixed with yellow mud. As soon as I walked away, some slush splashed on my clothes, and my shoes instantly lost their original color.
Cheng Wanwan's shoes were worn out, but she didn't care about it. Seeing Ruan Mingzhu running faster and faster, she ran out of strength and said loudly: "Miss Ruan, I am so old that I really can't run." I'm moving, please help me..."
Hearing her voice, Ruan Mingzhu's steps immediately stopped.
She thought it was her mother chasing after her, so she ran very fast. How could she be from Sui Shu?
She turned around and saw Cheng Wanwan gasping for air behind her husband. He was indeed very tired.
She was just arrogant in front of her family, not an ungrateful person. She immediately turned around and walked towards Cheng Wanwan, holding Cheng Wanwan's arm: "Why are people from Sui Shu here?"
"I was sending Jingyu back to camp, and I happened to see you and Mrs. Ruan arguing." Cheng Wanwan looked at her and said, "Mrs. Ruan may be a little overbearing, but she really cares about your daughter. You said you hate yourself. Mother, do you know how uncomfortable she is? I have four sons. If my son told me this, I don’t know what to do..."
Ruan Mingzhu pursed her lips: "I talk nonsense when I'm angry. I've said it before, but my mother won't care."
"You are the only daughter she gave birth to at the age of forty. How could she not care about what you say." Cheng Wanwan shook her head, "It's just that she can't say that she cares. Who makes her your mother? People are like In this way, I always use the cruelest words to hurt the people closest to me, probably because I know that person loves me, and no matter what I say, that person will be waiting there."
"I..." Ruan Mingzhu was speechless, "Maybe I'm too willful..."
Growing up being pampered by her parents and a bunch of older brothers, she knew that she was very willful, and it seemed that she was... too willful.
"You are still young, and you don't know the destructive power of words now." Cheng Wanwan patted her shoulder, "Let's go back and have a good chat with your mother. Is there anything that mother and daughter can't talk about? "
Ruan Mingzhu glanced at Cheng Wanwan, and her mother's appearance came to mind. Her mother's eyes and eyebrows were wrinkled. She was really old, but she hadn't grown up yet... Maybe she should apologize to her mother. .
However, her mother did not allow her to stay in the military camp, and she was also very angry.
Therefore, my mother must also apologize to her.
The two of them walked back the way they came.
It was afternoon now, but because the sky was gloomy, it looked like evening. The wind and snow were blowing, and the snow became heavier.
At this time, the sound of horse hooves came from the snow.
A smile appeared on Ruan Mingzhu's face: "My father must be here. Every time I run out of the house, my father will come to see me..."
Before she could finish her words, three or four horses galloped in front of them, riding men in black. Their faces were covered in broad daylight, with only a pair of cold eyes exposed.
Ruan Mingzhu's expression suddenly changed: "There are still young people in the garrison territory of the capital. They simply don't take the garrison seriously. Just watch!"
She jumped up on one foot, and at the same time, she quickly drew out the sword from her waist and entangled with the person on the horse.
Cheng Wanwan's eyes were filled with coldness.
The He family is not so bold to take action in the military area, so it can only be someone from Princess Rongqing.
Is this princess crazy? Is she convinced that she is unable to resist, or is she certain that the Queen Mother will protect her when he kills her again and again?
As soon as Cheng Wanwan put his hands into his sleeves, he paused.
There was no point in knocking down the man in black at this time. It was better to see what Princess Rongqing was going to do.
Just as she was thinking about it, the sword in Ruan Mingzhu's hand was thrown away. She couldn't beat him four times, and a long knife was placed on her neck.
Ruan Mingzhu would not be easily captured. She found the opportunity to fight back again. The man in black jumped off the horse and struck her on the back of the neck with his elbow. She had no time to scream and fell directly back.
Cheng Wanwan rushed up to catch her, raised his eyes with a look of fear: "Who are you, and what do you want to do..."
The man in black approached her step by step.
Then he raised his elbow and moved towards the back of her neck.
Before the elbow even came close to her, she turned pale with fright, rolled her eyes, and fainted.
"Tsk!" The man in black sneered, "Sui Shu people are known to be women, but I didn't expect that they are also a rat. They fainted from fright. They are no different from ordinary women. Take her away!"
Another man in black jumped off his horse, picked up Cheng Wanwan and Ruan Mingzhu, placed them on the horse's back, and galloped forward.
Cheng Wanwan pretended to be dizzy, lying on her back. The bumpy ride almost prevented her from actually fainting. Her stomach was churning, and she tried her best to hold back, and finally did not show her weakness.
I don’t know how long the horse ran before the speed finally slowed down.
She and Ruan Mingzhu were lifted off the horse and carried directly on someone's shoulders. Her eyes opened slightly and she finally saw clearly where they were.
It turned out to be the west mountain of Linxi.
Why did the man in black bring them here?
Kill and silence?
Destroy corpses and eliminate traces?
But she is not very afraid, because she has a trump card and will not let herself die here no matter what.
Now that she came to Xishan, a plan suddenly emerged in her mind...
The man in black took Cheng Wanwan and Ruan Mingzhu deep into the mountains.
It was snowing all over the sky here, and the mountains were covered with snow. One foot was deep and the other was shallow. I didn't walk very fast. It was only when the sky turned dark that I finally reached the mountain peak.
Cheng Wanwan's nose smelled a faint fragrance. She quietly opened her eyes and saw the plum garden.
The top of the Western Mountain is actually full of plum blossoms. The red plum blossoms and the white snow complement each other, and they are particularly beautiful amidst the heavy snow.
.
While she was admiring it, she was suddenly thrown to the ground by the man in black.
"That's it." The man in black clapped his hands, "Sleep in the snow for one night, and you can come and collect the body the next day."
"To die in the plum forest on a snowy day is really a good way to die. It gives them enough dignity. The princess is really kind."
"There is a ten-mile plum forest here. Even if they wake up in the middle of the night, they can't get out. Let's go down the mountain and wait for news."
"..."
The four men in black turned and left.
The flying snow quickly covered their figures, and also covered the deep and shallow footprints on the ground.
Cheng Wanwan slowly opened her eyes, and when she was about to wake up Ruan Mingzhu, she saw the girl's eyes wide open. She must have woken up a long time ago, so the girl also pretended to be faint...
"Sui Shuren, are you okay?" Ruan Mingzhu came to her senses and helped Cheng Wanwan up, "It's really too cold here, we have to leave quickly."
Cheng Wanwan spoke slowly: "Didn't you hear them say that we would go down the mountain to wait for news? In other words, even if we can get out of the Merlin, we will fall into their hands again."
Ruan Mingzhu clenched her fists: "I also heard them mention the princess. In the entire Dayu Dynasty, there is only one Princess Rongqing. However, Princess Rongqing has always been with the Queen Mother and has never been involved in the struggle in the capital. Why did she send someone to attack me? When did our Ruan family offend her?"
Cheng Wanwan looked at her: "Have you ever thought that Princess Rongqing wanted to attack me, but you were just implicated by me?"
Ruan Mingzhu is a smart person and immediately thought of the trip to Linxi half a month ago. The evidence investigated at that time was clearly related to Princess Rongqing, but later it was ignored... If it was really Rongqing County who took the initiative that time , then it would be understandable that Rongqing would take action again, but why did Lord Rongqing deal so cruelly with the Suishu people?
