The snow in the north is often windy, and the snow is soft. The falling snow will rise again with the wind, and gradually accumulate in the depression or leeward... It will become firm over time.

The snow on the mountain is basically untrodden, and it is extremely soft, especially under the mountain road, where the snow is thickly piled up.

When the carriage made a big turn, Xie Qin took advantage of the blind spot of the assassins who were chasing him. He made a decisive decision, pulled out the arrow from the carriage, and stabbed the horse's butt. At the same time, he jumped into the ravine with King Ding, and was instantly captured Snow buried.

The horse was suffering from pain, dragged the carriage and ran wildly, gradually pulling away from the assassin who was chasing after him.

The assassins only thought that the two escaped in a carriage, and they were chasing after them, so they ran past the place where the two jumped from the carriage, and did not notice anything unusual on the surface of the snow in the ravine.

King Ding was wrapped in snow and kept his head down for a long time. Even his already dizzy mind became even more dizzy, and he still didn't dare to move.

When he asked in a low voice and heard Xie Qin's response, King Ding felt relieved and wanted to get up.

However, as soon as he moved, it sank even more, and snow got into his collar and melted against his body. Those who were irritated by the coolness couldn't help shivering, and his teeth were chattering.

Xie Qin pulled King Ding out of the carriage and threw it into the snow ditch, but he jumped down consciously, his legs entering the snow first, so it was easy to control his body when he wanted to come out, and he quickly showed his head. .

From his point of view, he could not see King Ding's body, but could only see that the snow kept moving and gradually collapsed.

Today's incident is definitely aimed at King Ding, but if King Ding has an accident, he will be able to go back alive and not be able to retreat.

After all, it's a disaster.

Xie Qin ignored King Ding, pulled out the crooked arrow on his left shoulder, held down the wound around the wound, and used the cold snow to stop the gushing blood a little, then dragged the dead grass and climbed out of the snow.

Then, Xie Qin said to King Ding: "Your Highness, wait a moment, don't move."

Under the snow, King Ding really didn't move.

Xie Qin broke a long branch, came back and inserted it into the slightly sunken snow pit, and said softly, "Your Highness, grab the branch."

King Ding only felt that his waist was being poked, so he grabbed it with his hand, and was pulled out of the snow pit.

When the cold wind blew, King Ding shivered.

At this time, the sky had already darkened, and it was only because the surrounding area was white and snow-white, which made it possible to see things.

King Ding wrapped his cloak tightly, and said shiveringly, "You have to leave this place as soon as possible."

They couldn't tell the direction, but they all knew that they couldn't stay here, especially since Xie Qin was still injured, in case another assassin came back, the two of them would have little resistance.

But if you walk around, you may get lost, and it is extremely dangerous in such cold weather and snow.

Xie Qin's face was pale, and he calmly suggested: "His Royal Highness, you might as well find a place to hide and wait for someone to rescue you."

They can only do this for the time being, but King Ding still has doubts. "Today, I went on a tour in micro-service. This king has not told his subordinates when to return to Huguo Temple. If they don't find out for a long time, there is no rescue..."

But without telling that there are still people in ambush in advance, the problem has already been explained.

and…

Xie Qin was inexplicably confident, and said, "Your Highness, my family will find something unusual and go to Huguo Temple to find someone."

King Ding can only believe for the time being, and go with him to find a place to avoid the wind and snow and assassins.

At the same time, the horse galloped on the carriage until it was exhausted, and the bleeding continued. When the legs became weak, the horse leaned forward and fell to the ground.

The other horse was led by this horse, and it also fell. The carriage continued to move forward due to its inertia and hit the two horses.

They were so exhausted that they could not get up when they fell, and lay on the snow panting.

Not long after, the assassin came over with a knife and opened the curtain of the carriage, only to find that there was no one inside.

The assassins looked at each other, and the leader of them looked fierce, "I was cheated! Go back!"

The assassins immediately turned back and searched along the way.

Xiejiazhuangzi—

As soon as the three of Yin Mingyu came back from the temple fair, they were caught by Xie Ce, who complained in a milky voice that she went out to play without him.

Yin Mingyu broke a section of the colorful banners for his aunt and the others, tied them to the sheep, and put the sheep into the labyrinth.

It's just that her sheep are tired of walking today, and they lie down on the ground as soon as they enter. People can't see the sheep from standing outside, but they can see a small section of Caifan.

Xie Ce was distracted at first, but the sheep didn't move, he soon lost interest and still surrounded Yin Mingyu.

Yin Mingyu also has second-hand preparations - candied haws.

But Xie Ce is now growing rapidly, and when he got the candied fruit, he ran back to Mrs. Xie's side, holding the candied fruit and insisting: "Don't let it go!"

And Mrs. Xie hugged her great-grandson and said solemnly: "Next time, don't leave Ce'er to go out to play."

Yin Mingyu: "...Yes."

After she answered, she looked at Xie Ce, who was relying on Mrs. Xie, and said in her heart: Silly child, she is still naive.

They all used Mrs. Xie's for dinner.

The auntie's mouth was quick, and she couldn't control her complacency for a while, and made up the matter of Zhu Xiaolangjun at the temple fair.

After hearing this, Madam Xie frowned and glanced at the concubine's face, but instead of directly blocking her feet as she did before leaving the cabinet, she asked: "It's not easy to be a widow, you are still young, if you have the right, you can Do you want to marry again?"

When Bai Zhixu heard her grandmother's question, she turned to look at her mother. In fact, she had the same question after the day.

Yin Mingyu was sitting at the table, completely watching the excitement, staring at his auntie with interest.

Xie Ce used to be a well-behaved child, but now he has learned some bad habits from her. He clearly doesn't understand what the adults are talking about, and he has the same curious eyes as Yin Mingyu, staring at his aunt.

The auntie's eyes swept back and forth. Seeing that they were all looking at her, she pursed her lips and asked Mrs. Xie carefully, "Mother, am I telling the truth?"

Madam Xie said solemnly, "The elders have asked, how can I cheat?"

"If I said it, would you not be angry?"

As soon as the auntie finished asking, she received Madam Xie's stare and said quickly, "Before I moved back to my parents' house, I was still a little hesitant. In case you and your brother and sister-in-law are gone in the future, your niece-in-law will not be easy to get along with..."

Yin Mingyu didn't expect it to be related to her, so she sat up straighter and looked like she was listening very seriously.

Xie Ce also supported the table with two small hands, his head stretched out higher, and his eyes were staring at his aunt.

And the auntie really told the truth, and added: "My daughter is definitely not cursing you and your brother and sister-in-law, after all, my daughter is much younger..."

Mrs. Xie took a deep breath and reprimanded: "You just need to answer, what do you do with those irrelevant things!"

The auntie was a little aggrieved, and she forgot what to say when her mind was empty.

Bai Zhixu was ashamed for his mother, and quickly said: "Grandma, don't worry about your mother, she, she is like this."

The auntie remembered the following words, and said: "Mother, I see that although my niece is not very stable, her character is very good, so I think about relying on them in the future, don't worry, I have money and will not be a drag on it. Nephew and nephew's wife."

Yin Mingyu: "…"

The words are affirmation of her character, but there is no need to step on the front.

Moreover, Yin Mingyu has different opinions on "unsteady". If she wants to be prudent, she will not easily teach people to pick out faults.

At this time, Mrs. Xie, among the concubine who did not "want to see" and the granddaughter-in-law who did not "want to see", even more did not like to see the concubine, and immediately stood on the side of the granddaughter and refuted the words of the aunt's wife: "Don't talk nonsense, How could your daughter-in-law be unstable?"

Yin Mingyu couldn't help but look at Mrs. Xie, rather flattered, and somehow blinded the old lady's eyes.

And after Mrs. Xie finished speaking, she didn't know if she was not confident, and her expression became more serious.

Under the expression of Mrs. Xie, the aunt became more and more quiet, but she made it clear that she would depend on the Xie family and was not sensitive to remarrying.

Madam Xie knew what she was thinking, so she didn't ask any more questions.

Bai Zhixu seemed to be still a little troubled, eating without thinking.

After dinner, Yin Mingyu looked at the sky and said strangely, "Langjun hasn't come back yet..."

The auntie covered her mouth and laughed, teasing ambiguous: "I've only seen it during the day, niece-in-law, are you thinking about it again? It's normal for a man to delay some things outside."

Yin Mingyu was not at all embarrassed, just seeing the expression of his auntie was a little speechless.

Of course she didn't miss Xie Qin, but Xie Qin has always said something, and almost as long as it comes out of his mouth, he has never failed to fulfill it.

"Auntie, you forgot, in the daytime, Langjun said the time to come back..."

Bai Zhi, Xu Wenyan, also nodded, "Yes, my cousin did say to come back at the latest by You Shi."

But it was already dark now, and Mrs. Xie also knew about her grandson, so she taught people to go to Huguo Temple to inquire.

Two quarters later, the guard looked worried and hurried back to report.

Only then did Mrs. Xie know that not only Xie Qin, but King Ding didn't even go back, her eyes suddenly darkened, and she hurriedly asked the steward to arrange for someone to find him.

Yin Mingyu got the letter, came over from her yard, called the guards, and discussed the simple words of Xie Qin during the day with Zhuangzi, and roughly guessed their possible range, and then taught people to find it.

Later, Yin Mingyu appeased Mrs. Xie: "Maybe it's just a delay on the way, don't worry."

But she looked at the night outside, and she had some ominous hunch in her heart, hoping that Xie Qin would not have an accident, otherwise it would be a great blow to the Xie family...

On the other side, Xie Qin and King Ding in the mountains didn't go very far, they just found a leeward place, dug a snow hole, and hid in it.

Xie Qin was worried that the falling snow would not cover their footprints, leaving traces to teach people to follow them, and swept the footprints with branches along the way.

King Ding did not count on the injured Xie Qin. He personally found the entrance to the snow cave covered with thatch. When Xie Qin returned, he sealed the entrance of the cave. After a while, the thatch was covered with a thin layer of snow, hiding them. The place is more and more hidden.

The assassins followed the way they came and found the corner where they jumped from the car. After a careful search, they finally found blood in the ravine and arrows with blood hidden under the snow.

The assassin leader held his sword, looked around, and said sternly, "Search carefully! Don't let the snowdrifts go! They won't run far!"

The assassins immediately took orders and scattered to search. When they saw the bulging snowdrifts, the long knives in their hands were about to stab them, and they must be killed.

In the snow cave, Xie Qin and King Ding held their breath when they heard footsteps approaching.

King Ding was so nervous that he could almost hear his own heartbeat, and finally regretted his trip today.

Xie Qin's lips were faintly pale, and his intact hand clenched the branch tightly, ready to fight hard.

The sound of the footsteps became very close, as if it was right in front of you, and suddenly, the blade pierced through the thatch, right into the middle of the two.

For a moment, their breathing stopped.

When the assassin's knife outside was inserted, he noticed something abnormal, and then he had to insert the second knife.

"Da da da…"

"Da da da…"

In the distance, the sound of many horses' hooves was approaching, the assassins all moved, and the assassin leader immediately ordered: "Here comes, withdraw!"

However, they were on foot, and the person who came was on horseback, and soon the two met, and they went hand in hand.

In the snow cave, King Ding leaned limply against the snow in a cold sweat.

Xie Qin let go of the branches, his nerves loosened, and he finally fainted.

When King Ding heard that his breathing was not right, he called Xie Qin a few times in a very low voice, but without getting a response, he got up to check, and gropingly raised his hand to the side of his neck, feeling the throbbing before retracting it.

At this time, King Ding in the darkness, his expression no longer panicked as before, and he looked out following the sound of soldiers touching each other, extremely gloomy.

Assassins fought and retreated, not fighting.

Some of the guards who came to look for people continued to chase them, while the other part began to search for people nearby.

"Your Highness!"

"Lang Jun!"

King Ding broke through the thatch cover, walked out in a little embarrassment, and shouted anxiously: "Come here! Jing Ming is injured!"
