Ah Pu is dazed again.

The City King and the Snow Queen are brothers.

But why do the City Lord and Snow Queen address Miss Yun differently

"If there are any doubts, this king is determined to marry An'an as his wife. In Xue Mu City, An'an should be treated as a master. The two situations do not conflict."

Aren't they non-conflicting

Frowning, Apu still couldn't figure it out.

He didn't know, but Yun Girl had already clearly rejected the city lord's proposal ten times.

In the study, Xue Mu Cheng informed Yun An An of the current situation in the Seven Kingdoms. As Yun An An had said, it was divided into two camps.

Starting with the Northern Star Kingdom, followed by Xiling, Dong Qin, Nanjing, and the Great Desert. Next come Xue Guo and Wu Guo.

Because the Snow Country, Northern Star Country, Eastern Qin Country, and Southern Border Country were separated by eight hundred miles of mountains, the border was only adjacent to the Witch Country and Western Ling Country. Due to this advantageous geographical location, the Northern Star Country has been unable to conquer the Snow Country for a long time.

Besides the snowy climate, Beichen Kingdom's soldiers, even after traveling eight hundred li across the mountains, couldn't adapt to the cold.

And since the Wu Kingdom was adjacent to the Nanjing Kingdom, the Nanjing Kingdom, which became a vassal state of the Beichen Kingdom, often sent troops to attack the Wu Kingdom.

Now, the biggest trouble for the Snow Country and the Witch Country is not Beichen, but Xiling and Nanjing.

"Mucun, look at this!"

Xue Qiancheng threw out a token. When he saw that it was the Xuanwu military talisman of Xiling Kingdom, his expression froze for a moment.

"Xuánwǔ Bīngfǔ"

"Yes, the Xuanwu military talisman."

Xue Qiancheng said that he and Yun An'an had planned things to do on the road.

Over the next few months, he would leave the snowy country to wander around Xiling and have a good time with Xiling's great general, Jiang Yuji.

"By the way, where did you put the seeds for the cloud mist juniper"

What can you do with seeds of cloud and mist cypress

That thing is very precious, but if you don't use it properly, it will immediately kill you.

"An An needs the seeds of Yun Wu Qing Song... to make medicine."

Xueqiancheng did not tell Xemu city that Yun'anan needed the Yunjing Qingsong seeds to prolong her life.

Snow City is not an outsider, but the fewer people who know about Yun An'an's affairs, the better.

"The month before you came back, you sent something to the Witch Nation. It should now be in Yuwen Xiu's hands."

If he had known earlier that Yun Wuzhi would need the Qing Song of Clouds and Mist, he would have never sent it to the Witch Kingdom.

"What is Yuwen Xiu going to do with the Yunwu Qingsong"

What's wrong with you, kid If you're not doing anything, don't ask for clouds and mists.

"Don't you have any stock on hand This king remembers that the palace had stored several."

The Yunwu Qing Song, which only landed after four hundred years, has been well preserved. Even if it was sent to the Witch Country, there should be a surplus, right

But... Xuelu City shook its head.

All the Qing Song seeds have been sent to Yuwen Xiu. I will now dispatch people to travel eight hundred li as quickly as possible to the Wu Kingdom.

"No need, I will rise and journey to the Witch Kingdom tomorrow."

One of her reasons for coming to the snowy country was to find the Yunwu Qingsong, and she also took this opportunity to deliver the Xuanwu Army Talisman to Xue Qiancheng.

Now I've also seen Xue Qiancheng and Xue Mucun, seeing they are well, my heart has finally settled.

"Are you leaving so soon You could stay for two days. I'll take you to see the beautiful scenery of the snowy country."

Xue Qiancheng frowned, this woman really hadn't changed at all. She did whatever she wanted, whenever she wanted, without giving anyone time to consider.

"Indeed, Master Yun~ The snow country boasts many beautiful sights. It would be better to stay in the snow country for a few days and wait until after the snow season passes before going to the Witch Country."

Even Xue Mu City doesn't want to part ways so soon after meeting.

Yunan An still refused the two people's pleas.

"I left from Phoenix Immortal Island also to return to Beichen."

Needless to say, the two knew she was going back to North Star Country to kill Beichen Yi and destroy everything he had.

"Xue Qiancheng, this is for you. I haven't completely removed the poison from Jiang Yuzhi's body. This scent will trigger the poison in his body to flare up."

Yun An'an kept a trump card, she believed Xue Qiancheng could use the Xuanwu Talisman and Jiang Yuji's poison very well to cause great upheaval in Xiling Country.

At the same time, you should also pay attention to safety and don't act impulsively.

"Rest assured, An'an. I am no longer the reckless boy I used to be. Now, I am a man who is determined to marry you and help you avenge your wrongs."

Xue Qiancheng made no attempt to hide his thoughts. His words, which might appear frivolous to others, revealed the truth: Xue Mucheng had known for a long time that Yun An'an held a special place in his heart.

Even if Yun An'an returned after five years, she would only have friendship for Xue Qiancheng and no romantic love.

……

Yun An'an did not stay in the snowy country.

Xue Qiánchéng always sent Yún n'ān to the border between Xuěguó and Wúguó.

"Be careful, I will bring chaos to Xi Ling in the shortest time, and then I will set off for Bei Chen to find you."

Xue Qiancheng couldn't bear to part. She stepped forward and gently stroked Yun Annan's red hair with her large hand.

Looking at the woman in white with red hair before him, he had so many words he wanted to say. He wanted to confine Yun An An by his side, taking care of her for a lifetime, not letting her get hurt.

"I understand. A trip to Xiling Kingdom is fraught with danger. Be careful."

"Okay, I've already sent word to Yuwen Xiu. He should arrive in Qingshan Town within three days."

Xue Qiancheng had already arranged everything in the Witch Kingdom and notified Yuwen Xiu to go to Qingya Town on the border of the Witch Kingdom.

"Go back."

"I don't want to leave, I want to keep watching you."

... Another step forward, Xue Qiancheng opened his arms and tightly hugged Yun An'an into his embrace.

Feeling the coldness in her embrace, Xue Qiancheng wanted to hold on like this forever.

"Yun Girl... It's time for your medicine."

A-pu didn't want to disturb the two of them, but... Yun girl's time to take medicine has arrived.

Bearing the gaze of Xue Qiancheng who wanted to see her torn into a thousand pieces, Apu turned her head away deliberately, not wanting to look at him.

The carriage started slowly, and Yun An waved goodbye.

Xue Qiancheng stood rooted to the spot for a long time, until the carriage disappeared from sight without ever leaving.

"My lord."

The guard had to remind Xue Qiancheng that Yun girl and the others had already entered the border of the Wuzhi Kingdom. Should we return to the Xue Country or go to Xiling Country

"Afraid of death"

As soon as Yun Anan left, Xue Qiancheng returned to being the tyrannical and cold City King he once was.

"Don't be afraid!"

The guards knew what they had to do next. As long as they could protect the Snow Kingdom, they feared nothing.

"Very well, then I shall go to Xiling with you and turn his world upside down."

On the other side.

App drove a carriage into the border of the Witch Kingdom.

Between the Snow Country and the Witch Country lies a grassland, requiring a three-day journey to cross.

Xue Qichen originally wanted to send Yun An'an to the Witch Capital, but Yun An'an refused.

Apu looked back at Yun'an, with a look of wanting to speak but holding back.

Just say what you want to say.

Feeling a little agitated by Ap's stare, Yun Anan slightly raised her phoenix eyes and looked at Ap.

This guy is asking questions again.

"Cloud Maiden, the City Lord has sincere feelings for you. You seem to only see him as...a son."

Yes, that's exactly how it feels.

Although he had never been married, he still knew a thing or two about relationships between men and women.

When it snowed, the City Lord treated Yun Girl with every kind of affection imaginable, wishing he could take out his own heart and make soup for her.

And in response to the city lord's words, Cloud Maiden only gave him the same look one would give a foolish son from an aging father.

It can be certain that Yun Girl likes City Lord, but it's not the liking between a man and a woman in love, it's a pure friendship... Or perhaps paternal love is more appropriate.

Five years ago, when I was in Beichen Country, I taught at Yingtian Academy. Xue Qiancheng and Xue Muceng were both my students.

"Huh Empress Xue and the City Lord look older than you."

I am confused, my mind is filled with fog.

Yun'an ignored Apu and rolled over, lying on the fur blanket and falling asleep.

We walked for two days on the grassland, and it rained heavily that day.

Unable to find a suitable place to stay, Ap only could gallop in the pouring rain with his carriage. Fortunately, after an hour of driving, he discovered an abandoned house.

"Yun girl, be careful, don't let the rain splash you."

Apu held the umbrella, getting soaked himself while shielding Yun An'an from the rain with it. The umbrella kept her completely dry.

"This weather is strange too~ "

In the dilapidated house, Apu lit a bonfire. The flames illuminated the surroundings, warming up the place.

"It's the same grassland everywhere, it snows near the snow country and rains near the wizard country."

"Ah Pu mumbled something about spooky weather. As he was speaking, the sound of a horse neighing came from outside the door."

Creak—

The dilapidated wooden door creaked open, and five men entered the ramshackle hut.

"It's raining heavily outside, could you please do me a favor and..."

The man speaking walked with his hands clasped in fists, following the etiquette of the martial world. Ap responded with a kind smile.

"It's convenient to be convenient for others and for oneself. My friend Yun and I are both taking shelter from the rain, so it's best to stay together."

As he spoke, Apu leaned aside, making room for a few people to sit by the fire.

"Thank you, young man. Thank you, miss."

The man at the front reached out again, cupping his fists in a gesture of thanks. Ap, however, waved him off repeatedly, motioning for him to be quieter.

"Please be quiet, everyone. Yun Girl is asleep, and we mustn't disturb her."

The campfire crackled and popped, casting flickering shadows inside the dilapidated house where seven people huddled together.

The heavy rain outside is still pouring, and I have no idea when it will stop.

In the only small bed in the house, Yun Anan lay on the fur mat half asleep and half awake.

In her dream, she returned to the Northern Star Kingdom.

Everything is still the same as it was five years ago, not a single change.

Lao Wangye, Yun Qian Shan, Yu Chang Yuan, Bei Chen Rongrong, every one of them had a smile on their faces.

The next second, heaven and earth reversed. All the warm moments before vanished like smoke and clouds, leaving only coldness and bloodshed.

Snowflakes drifted across the sky, a blood-red hue, falling in sheets upon the ground, covering the entire nation of Beichen in crimson.

Another day has passed, and the heavy rain has finally stopped.

The morning sun shone on the prairie, and the freshness after the rain lingered between heaven and earth, making people feel happy.

People taking shelter from the rain in the dilapidated house also got up and left.

Before leaving, a man named Suya walked to the carriage and glanced at the woman in white with red hair behind the curtain. For some reason, he always felt strangely familiar with her.p in an illusion and chased down a deep pit. If it weren't for you, brother Yi, who risked your life to hold me, I guess the person standing before you now would be missing an arm or a leg."Looking ba...
