Nian Qiao already guessed the identity of the person in front of him.

It really was the disaster caused by him paying more attention to the other party in the teahouse.

Blood was faintly stained on the animal skin, and the mountain became even colder. Nianqiao who had been frozen all the way could only smell a faint fragrance of snow. The other party's gaze was too sharp, and he felt a sense of crisis in his heart.

Nianqiao stayed there without saluting, the guards behind him came in together, directly pressed him and knelt down towards Yeluqi.

His knee fell to the ground through the animal skin, Nianqiao's face was slightly distorted, and Tuanzi kept pushing towards his arms, he pursed his lips, subconsciously avoiding Yeluqi's sight.

"In my impression, I have never seen you before." Yeluqi had already arrived in front of him, Nianqiao's jaw was broken and he raised his head. The other party's fingers pinched the soft flesh on his chin, and their strong knuckles burned raw on the skin. pain.

Nianqiao almost immediately understood what Yeluqi meant, the other party was asking him why the teahouse paid special attention to him that day.

There was a layer of cold sweat on his forehead, and Yeluqi's gaze was like an ice knife scraping on his body, which made his heart numb and his legs weak.

Only a few days ago, a soldier told him about Yeluqi's rumors, she was cruel and willful, and the weather was uncertain, and it would be very bad for him to fall into his hands.

"I... this is the first time I have come to the border, and I have never seen a barbarian before, so I took a second look at His Highness the Second Highness."

Nianqiao said in a low voice: "If there is any offense, I hope the Second Highness will not be as knowledgeable as I am."

"Have you ever seen a barbarian?" Yeluqi laughed, and the thin blade of the dagger in her hand rubbed against Nianqiao's cheek.

"You came from Jingguo Palace, and your Seventh Prince is a barbarian, but you told me that you have never seen a barbarian."

Nianqiao's heart tightened, his eyes stared at the dagger next to his cheek without blinking, his face became pale due to nervousness.

"What's your relationship with Xiao Yun? He didn't bring you to the border to go to the battlefield. Your skin...could be the military prostitute he hired."

The words of humiliation came out, Nianqiao's chest was blocked with anger, and he couldn't bear to stare at Yeluqi, so he couldn't say that the prince sent him here.

Nian Qiao was afraid that he would be found out for lying, so he shut up, hugged his rabbit and moved back a little, not answering Yeluqi's question.

"If you don't say it, the soldiers under this king haven't returned home for a long time, so I let you taste it as a woman, what do you think?"

Yeluqi's words were understated, as if a layer of ice had been cast in her eyes.

Nianqiao has no doubt that this barbarian can really do such a thing.

"I escaped, someone in the palace wanted to kill me, so I fled here." Nianqiao said, his heart was beating non-stop, his eyelashes trembled slightly, and he didn't dare to look at Yeluqi's expression.

"Xiao Yun sent someone to protect you, who has such a big face to send you here... Let me guess."

Nian Qiaoxin raised her throat, worried that if Yeluqi could really guess it, it would be over by then.

At this time, there was movement outside the tent, and soldiers came over.

The soldiers spoke a few nonsense words, but Nianqiao couldn't understand a single word.

After the report, Yeluqi glanced at him with unclear emotions, and went out with the soldiers.

Come back an hour later.

Nianqiao has been staying in Yeluqi's camp, there are soldiers guarding outside, and there are soldiers watching him beside him.

He listened to the movement outside with his ears upright, but unfortunately the soldiers also talked in nonsense, which to him was no different from listening to heavenly scriptures.

Nianqiao guessed that Xiao Yun's people might have come, but he didn't know if Yeluqi would let him go.

When the tent was opened, Nianqiao was leaning against the wall, he was not tied to the rope, and he was still holding the rabbit, maintaining the original posture.

As soon as he heard the movement, Nianqiao immediately became vigilant, looked along, his thin back was slightly tensed.

Yeluqi glanced at Nianqiao, she didn't expect Xiao Yun to be so anxious.The more anxious Xiao Yun was, the less likely he would be to let him go easily.

All the charcoal fires looted from Jing Bing were given to the soldiers. Yeluqi had never burned any charcoal fires in her camp, and the night on Baichi Mountain was much colder than the daytime, and the hot water could freeze in a quarter of an hour.

Nianqiao noticed that Yeluqi ate the dry rations given by the soldiers, and his stomach growled, but no one cared about him.

Fortunately, the dumpling had been fed before, and the dumpling was not hungry now, but was afraid of the cold, so he kept burrowing into his arms.

When Yeluqi was eating, there was a gaze staring at him all the time, he stared at it coldly, before he stared at it, Nianqiao obediently withdrew his gaze.

After three times, Nianqiao stopped watching, fearing that Yeluqi would poach his eyes.

At night, Nianqiao also slept in Yeluqi's tent.

Yeluqi left him here and ignored him.

At night, Nianqiao woke up from the cold, his limbs were stiff, and it was a bit difficult to move around. There was no quilt, nothing.Tuanzi's body was already slightly stiff. He touched the dumpling, but the dumpling didn't respond.

He looked at Yeluqi who was on the bed not far away, the candlelight was still on, he moved slowly and carefully until he reached the edge of the candlelight, so that the dumplings could be warmed by the fire.

Almost at the moment when he moved, Yeluqi opened her eyes in the darkness, those eyes shone brightly in the darkness, and locked on him firmly in the dark environment.

Nianqiao was still holding the dumpling with his hand, the dumpling was roasted by the fire for a while before his ears moved slowly.

"Come here." Yeluqi's voice was extremely cold at night.

Nianqiao was dragged and thrown outside the tent, and the dumpling was put in Yeluqi's tent.

Tuanzi hopped around and found a hidden place to stay.

There were only soldiers guarding outside, and Nianqiao felt cold inside the tent, not to mention outside the tent, after blowing for a while, he had a lot of runny nose and sweated profusely.

Without Yeluqi's order, the soldiers outside ignored him, Nianqiao was shaking all over, his fingers were swollen from frostbite, his lips were pale, and his heart was filled with dense fear.

He missed Ji Xuerong.

If Ji Xuerong was here, he would definitely be taken away.

Nianqiao's consciousness became more and more chaotic. Before his consciousness disappeared, he heard two nonsense words, and then he passed out.

"Second Highness, he has a fever, should we just throw him down the mountain?"

Soldiers asked outside.

But after an hour, Yeluqi came out of the tent upon hearing the words, and Nianqiao outside the tent curled up against the wall, with an abnormal blush on his face, and still maintained the posture of hugging himself.

Yeluqi had never seen such a delicate species before, her eyes were clouded unconsciously, and she secretly had a premonition that this was causing trouble for herself.

"Send the doctor over here."

Nianqiao was carried to the tent by two soldiers.

The doctor will come over soon, Nianqiao has a cold.

Originally, Yeluqi did not burn charcoal for the soldiers in order to save charcoal fire, but now she burned charcoal because of Nianqiao.The rabbit hiding in the corner smelled the familiar smell, jumped out from the corner, and automatically found a place to nest in Nianqiao's arms.

Yeluqi watched from the side, her cold gaze fell on the rabbit, which had already been skinned and made into rabbit meat.

Nianqiao had an ice pack on his head, and he fell into chaos.

He fell asleep drowsily and dreamed of Ji Xuerong.

Ji Xuerong still looked the same, but her hair was soaked in snow and turned white, her body was covered in blood, and her eyes were closed.

It was snowing heavily outside, which was obviously not the season for snow.

Nianqiao felt pain in his heart, he subconsciously wanted to touch Ji Xuerong, but it was in vain.

The people on the couch were whispering something, Yeluqi walked to Nianqiao, planning to skin and slaughter the unsightly rabbit first.

As soon as he grabbed the rabbit's ears with his hands, he heard Nianqiao's whispers when he went to the bed.

"Your Highness... Your Highness..."

"Your Highness—"

The person on the bed suddenly grabbed his wrist.

Yeluqi's wrist was held, she was still in a coma, her soft and boneless palm covered him.

The boy on the bed closed his eyes, his eyelashes were a little wet, his cheeks were flushed, and the candlelight shone like a fairy.

His highness is naturally not him.

Yeluqi's gaze sank a little, thoughtful, his wrist was tightly held, and he pulled away indifferently.

There is a slight choice between throwing people out and keeping them.

Regarding the conditions discussed with Xiao Yun yesterday, Xiao Yun said that he would hand over the person intact.

Now it seems that this little slave is not only related to Xiao Yun, but may also have other uses.

It's just that I don't know which His Highness the Highness I'm talking about is.

Nianqiao didn't know that he had been weighed by Yeluqi on the balance, Yeluqi's abacus was very loud, and she planned to use him to negotiate terms with the brought soldiers and Xiao Yun.

It was the second day when he woke up, his head was still dizzy, his fingertips touched a piece of warmth, and he touched something soft.

Nianqiao opened his eyes, and what he saw was the familiar animal skin, and the dumpling in his arms was hungry, sniffing around in his hand all the time.

Yeluqi put a bowl of medicinal porridge beside her, Nianqiao took a few glances at it, the charcoal was burned all night in the tent, it is very warm now.

He was hungry and wanted to eat, but he was worried that Yeluqi would put something in it, so he resisted eating.

Because he didn't eat or take any medicine, Nianqiao didn't have much energy.

Yeluqi went out for a whole day, and when she came back, she saw Nianqiao's appearance, and ordered someone to come back with herbal food again.

"If you don't eat it, I hired a doctor for you in vain, why not throw you out now."

Yeluqi's voice was gloomy, she stared at the person and wanted to throw him out.

But just now he had already negotiated the terms, and Xiao Yun had already agreed to exchange grain and charcoal fire.

The little slave in front of him can exchange food, and after the food is exchanged, he can kill him again.

Nianqiao didn't want to go out to catch the cold, it was really cold outside, he struggled a little, and finished a bowl of herbal diet while facing Yeluqi's gaze.

Tuanzi was still licking his hand, Nianqiao didn't dare to ask Yeluqi to send fresh grass.

Because Yeluqi was suspicious, she always let Nianqiao stay in his tent, and Nianqiao only occupied a corner next to the charcoal fire.

Nianqiao didn't know what Yeluqi was preparing, he carried it in the camp all day long, and only went out occasionally, and he could see that the food Yeluqi's soldiers ate was very poor, and sometimes they only ate one meal a day.

This stay is nearly ten days.

Nianqiao also ate hard dry food, and Yeluqi didn't tell him the reason until the tenth day.

"Your Jing Dynasty sent someone over. I don't know which prince came to escort the grain and grass, but he seemed to care about you very much. When he heard that there was a hostage, he agreed to come over and replace the person himself."

Yeluqi's voice was icy cold. After raising Nianqiao for so many days, he soon realized that Nianqiao was worthless, and staying with them was a complete waste of food.

"When he comes to the door, I will let you die together."

Nianqiao's mind tightened when he heard this, did Ji Xuerong come over in person?

Before he had time to think, his wrists and ankles were tied up, and Yeluqi took him down the mountain.

In the distance, he saw a familiar figure.

Ji Lingyu was wearing a crane cloak, with black hair and deep eyes, and his deep facial features were like sculptures, and his eyes fell on him lightly.
