The snow outside showed no intention of stopping. Instead, it fell heavier and harder. Moreover, I don't know when it started, but strong winds started blowing, and the wind carried snowflakes flying wantonly in the air.
Because of this sudden snowstorm, the temperature that had been rising suddenly dropped. The uncle in the yard had grown new branches and buds, but now they became bare again.
Seeing all this, A Piao couldn't help but sigh. This spring of this year is really not easy to pass.
After opening the window for a while, the few people standing by the window, although they were all wearing thick cloaks, still felt the cold, their hands and feet were frozen stiff, and the strong wind hit, and they were instantly chilled.
"Hurry up and close it. Don't call me sick again. You just came out of prison and your health is not good to begin with." Seeing A'Piao shiver, His Highness stretched out his hand to pull her to his side, "No. We know when the snow will fall and how heavy it will fall." She sighed softly and looked at the three people around her, "Have you all eaten? After eating, let's go back! Don't look back and the snow will get heavier, let's They’re all stuck here.”
"Your Highness is right!"
The three people agreed with His Highness's proposal. Looking at the current situation of the snow and the gloomy sky, it is only likely to get heavier and heavier. It is conservatively estimated that it will not stop for three days and three nights. .
Ah Piao tidied Her Highness's cloak, helped her put on her hood, took her small hand stove, replaced the charcoal blocks inside with new ones, and stuffed them into the small hand stove again after the temperature was a little warmer. His Highness's hands.
Ah Rou took a food box and packed the snacks, fruits, dried fruits, etc. that His Highness liked to eat in small bowls, and placed them neatly in the food box.
After everything was tidied up, Ah Piao and Ah Rou followed Hei Luer and escorted His Highness out of the dining room.
Coming out of the warm room, there was a strong wind, and large snowflakes suddenly fell on everyone's face. Several people were staggered and almost fell down.
"Hey, this wind is really strong!" Hei Lu'er opened the way in front and helped the three girls to block the strong wind. "I haven't seen this formation in many years. The start of this year is really bad. .”
"That's right." His Highness patted Hei Lu'er on the shoulder, "Be careful and don't get confused."
"Don't worry, Your Highness." Hei Lu'er looked at it, pulled a stick from the roadside, held one end in his hand, and let His Highness hold the other end, just like when they came out of the secret room. "Your Highness, hold on tight."
It was not a long journey at first, but due to the violent wind and snow, it took several people just as long as a cup of tea. When they entered the Qingxia Palace, a thick layer of snow fell on everyone's cloaks.
The little girl on duty at Qingxia Palace quickly helped to change their cloaks and soaked boots into dry and loose shoes. After they sat down, they placed them in front of everyone. A bowl of steaming ginger soup.
Although they were very resistant to ginger soup, everyone did not want to get sick at this critical moment. They all frowned and pinched their noses as they drank the ginger soup. After drinking the ginger soup, they all went to get a piece of candied fruit in a unified manner. , stuffed it into his mouth.
"That's right." Ah Rou stuffed several pieces of candied fruit into her mouth in succession before she could barely suppress the spicy taste that made her feel sick, "Sister, you just said that the man in black who kidnapped His Highness this time, How come they are not from the same group as the Japanese pirates His Highness met when he was a child? Didn’t I say before that they did come from the same place?"
"Coming from the same place does not mean that we are from the same place. To be precise, what Ah Piao means is that they are not the same type of people." His Highness looked at Ah Piao and raised an eyebrow at her, "That's right. ?”
"Those who know me, Your Highness, that's what I mean." Seeing that Ah Rou still didn't quite understand, Ah Piao explained, "This time the man in black should be serving the previous Japanese pirates, that is, It is said that they may have been trained by the Japanese pirates since they were young, and they were thugs and tools raised by those people. In other words, they should all be locals, and they do not have the blood of the Japanese pirates, so they were excluded from the entire core by the Japanese pirates. "
"That's the relationship between hiring and being hired, right?" Ah Rou suddenly realized, "The men in black are responsible for doing the work, and the Japanese pirates are responsible for issuing orders."
"That should be it." Hei Lu'er nodded, "Actually, I have been thinking about this issue on the way back. I thought something was strange before, but I couldn't put it in words. When she mentioned it like this, it suddenly occurred to me." He looked at His Highness and then at Ah Piao, "We have had some contact with Japanese pirates before, and we have also interrogated some prisoners. The reactions of those prisoners were completely different from those of these men in black."
"That's right." His Highness nodded, "I have the same doubts as you. Do you still remember what I said before that the Japanese pirates who kidnapped me when I was a child refused to confess no matter how hard they beat me? In the end, I had no choice but to We can deal with them. We know nothing except that these people are Japanese pirates. But this is not the case this time. This time the men in black will not only speak the words of the Japanese pirates, but also our words. You said before, this Maybe the Japanese pirates have taken root here and become like us. I agree with this. After all, after all these years, if they want to do something, they have to become just like us, so it won’t be easy. Being suspected. But what makes me feel awkward is that these men in black confessed too quickly. Before even greeting them, they said all the things that should be said and those that should not be said. They just wanted to convey these things. Everything was explained clearly, so I could be selected quickly." She looked at a few people, "This is completely different from the Japanese pirates in my impression."
"You are right. Based on our understanding of the Japanese pirates, they would rather themselves than betray the so-called suzerain. Of course, it is not completely impossible. We must make them feel that life is worse than death, and we must give them a deep understanding. In fact, living is the most painful and sinful thing, and death is a kind of relief for them. Only at this time will they speak."
"What you say may not be what we want to hear."
"Yes, that's what I said, the reason why the men in black are not on the same road as the previous group." A Piao nodded, "Based on the previous speculation, we have reason to suspect that these men in black are not looking for us. It's..." She raised her eyebrows at the other people, "It's that person's handiwork."
