After coming back so late last night, Xu Wanyang slept until noon and didn't get up, but when he woke up, he found that he hadn't transformed, but still maintained his human appearance.

"Strange, did the spell disappear?"

However, looking out of the window, it was clear that the sky was covered with dark clouds and gloomy, without a ray of sunshine.

"It turned out that the sun was blocked."

Just as he was thinking, the door suddenly opened, Rong Ye was still so clear and cold, but he was slightly stunned when he saw Xu Wanyang's appearance, Xu Wanyang pointed outside, "There is no sun today."

Looking at the things in his hand again, he couldn't help grinning, "So it's you who fed me, Rong Ye, you're so kind, how can you do this kind of thing yourself."

Rong Ye didn't say much, put down the bird food and wanted to go out.

Xu Wanyang hurriedly called him to stop, "Hey, don't go, Rong Ye, what are you going to do today, take me to play with you."

He didn't want to talk to him at first, but after thinking about it, he said softly, "Leave the palace and investigate the case."

"Investigate the case?" Xu Wanyang's eyes lit up all of a sudden, and he raised his hands like a primary school student excitedly, "I'm going too, I'm going too!"

Rong Ye still asked him inscrutablely like last Ghost Festival, "Aren't you afraid?"

Xu Wanyang's heart trembled again, he was already shadowed, but he still insisted, "I've never been afraid of anything."

"you sure?"

"Of course, besides, aren't you still here?"

Rong Ye turned around and looked at him, his deep eyes stared at Xu Wanyang very uncomfortably, just about to say forget it, he only heard him say, "Let's go after breakfast."

After they left, a beautiful and slim figure stood still in front of the bedroom, and was told that His Highness had already left the palace.

"Really?" Meng Chao's disappointed expression flashed, and he recovered his composure, "That's really a coincidence for me to come."

After the beauty left, Yu Chuan shook his head again and again, "I knew it would be like this."

Along the way, Xu Wanyang chirped, "Rong Ye, you don't bring any guards with you when you go out of the palace. What if someone assassinates you? Rong Ye, you don't care about your own safety. There are so many assassins, how can you guarantee our safety with only one person..."

Today Rong Ye seems to be quite patient, just listening to him talking endlessly, soon Xu Wanyang couldn't talk anymore, because he walked too much, his legs were as if they were filled with lead, he couldn't move, he couldn't even talk. The strength is gone.

On the other hand, Rong Ye still seemed to be unaffected, and Xu Wanyang remembered that it's fine if he doesn't bring people with him, and he doesn't even ride a horse. It's better than walking anyway. He was panting heavily, feeling like he was about to fall down. Putting his hands on his knees, he didn't chase after Rong Ye's speed, and just rested on the spot, "Rong Ye, I can't do it anymore, can I rest for a while?"

"No, it's already here."

"It's here!"

Several thatched huts that came into view were covered with white snow, and at the end of the huts was a lush forest. It turned out that they were farmers living in the mountains. Xu Wanyang thought, I don’t know how big a strange case happened, and why they were so alarmed. Rong Ye?

Now that he saw his destination, Xu Wanyang took his last breath, and when he got to the front of the house, he sat down on a big bluestone in front of the house before he even looked at anyone. He really couldn't do it anymore. The legs will fall apart.

Rong Ye glanced at him, but didn't say a word, and walked straight into the small courtyard. After a while, he heard someone talking, it should be the owner of the house who came out.

"Sir, you are finally here!"

It seemed that Rong Ye was pretending to be an official handling the case. Xu Wanyang felt his legs were sore and sore, but he was finally able to relax. After sitting for a while, he struggled to get up, pushed open the fence gate in the yard, and walked towards the thatched cottage to go.

As soon as I entered, I was shocked by the mourning and crying inside. Most of the people in the room were women, and one of the gray-haired women cried the most. She leaned on a girl's shoulder and beat her own chest. :

"My daughter, mother shouldn't be angry with you, she shouldn't have let you go alone, my daughter is so young, she just got engaged, and she was sucked blood by the mountain demon. How can I live alone, my daughter..."

The voice was miserable, and Xu Wanyang couldn't help sighing in his heart, but the mountain monster that this woman mentioned, could it be some kind of monster that took people's lives?

There was mourning and tears in the room, Xu Wanyang leaned in, pushed aside a few standing people, and then saw the figure of Rong Ye, standing in the middle of the crowd, with a corpse covered in white cloth on the ground in front of him, he seemed I checked it just now, and my expression is very dignified now.

"Rong Ye." Xu Wanyang squeezed to his side, "Is it really the mountain demon's work?"

I only heard a male voice kneeling next to him say, "I don't believe there are any monsters, there must be someone causing trouble!"

"Who is this?"

Rong Ye said, "It's the deceased's fiancé."

No wonder he was so angry, Xu Wanyang comforted him a few words, and knelt down to look at the corpse, but Rong Ye grabbed his wrist, "You don't have to look."

"No, since I'm following you to investigate the case, this is the most basic thing."

As he spoke, he folded his hands and bowed to the corpse, then gently lifted the white cloth, took a deep breath, and quickly covered the white cloth with shaking hands.

No wonder the woman said that it was the work of the mountain monster. The scene of such a tragic death seemed to drain all the blood from her body, and her face was horrifying. He couldn't help thinking, if it was not the work of a monster, how could there be such a cruel person? .

Not only the visual impact, but also the tip of his nose gradually filled with a strange smell. Xu Wanyang resisted the nausea and didn't spit it out.

Rong Ye said softly, "This is the tenth female corpse."

"What?" Xu Wanyang said in amazement, "Did no one come to investigate before that? Where are the people from the government?"

An old man with a goatee said, "We have already reported the case, and the government has come many times, but we can't find out who it is, or what monster did it, and we have no clue at all. .”

Looking at the room, there are people related to the previous victims.

After a while, the old man retreated the crowd, and brought Rong Ye and Xu Wanyang to a quiet room. After they were seated, the old man said, "Your Highness, this case has already become an unsolved case, so don't worry about it any more, Your Highness."

Xu Wanyang was taken aback, it turned out that the old man knew Rong Ye's identity.

"This case is indeed unimaginable. Apart from the fact that the deceased were all unmarried girls, there was no other similarity. Besides, there was no trace of the murderer's location, time and motive." Rong Ye was also a little helpless.

The old man sighed, "Yeah, the government officials tried their best before, but they still couldn't find any clues. There are more and more rumors in the village, saying that it was the work of the mountain demon. Now, the only convincing statement seems to be This one."

Xu Wanyang said, "But even if it's a mountain demon, has anyone in the village seen it?"

He shook his head, "People say what they say, and no one has seen it with their own eyes. Now the people in this village are panic-stricken, and anyone with a daughter is afraid to go out. After thinking about it for a long time, this old man decided to take the whole village to move to another place."

"Going to move?"

"Yeah, those who are left alive have to live well."

Rong Ye took a sip of tea, put down his cup and said, "Don't worry, old man, I will send someone to help with the relocation."

He hurriedly said, "Thank you Your Highness."

When he came back, Xu Wanyang couldn't help asking, "Rong Ye, is that all right?"

"what?"

"Aren't we here to investigate the case? Why did we help them relocate? What about the murderer? Don't you want to investigate?"

"Do you think it was the monster's work?" Rong Ye asked suddenly.

Xu Wanyang said, "Well, although I don't believe there are any monsters, this is the Snow Country, so I dare not say that."

"The amount of manpower used by the government has not been found out before. Do you think we will have results just by looking at it today?"

"Then what are you here for today? To appease the family members?"

Rong Ye looked into the distance, "Make sure of something."

"what's up?"

During these days of getting along, if there is a tacit understanding between him and Rong Ye, it is that as soon as he asks a sentence, he knows that he will not get an answer.There seems to be a huge deep hole in Rong Ye's heart. Since he was a child, he has been used to putting everything in that hole and never revealing it to anyone.

Like at this moment, Xu Wanyang knew that he couldn't get the answer he wanted, but even so, he would still ask next time, just like a parent worrying about their child, they actually said a lot of nonsense, but those nonsense It is inevitable and must be said.

In this way, Xu Wanyang deeply felt that he seemed to have aged a lot.

When returning to the palace at night, Xu Wanyang immediately found that it was different from usual. Not only were there lights and festoons, it was very lively, but suddenly there were many birds circling in the sky above the palace. He asked Rong Ye, "What festival is today? ?”

Rong Ye thought for a while, then suddenly asked, "How long has Princess Mengchao been in Snow Country?"

"Well, do the math, today is exactly one month old."

"Oops, I actually forgot."

Seeing his slightly apologetic expression, Xu Wanyang hurriedly asked, "What's the matter, is it Mengchao's birthday?"

"It's Mengchao's welcome gift."

"Welcome ceremony? Didn't Mengchao welcome you when she first came here? What kind of custom is this?"

"Mengchao came here with the intention of getting married. It has been a month, and the marriage is half done, so..."

"Ah, ah, isn't this the same as our engagement ceremony? It means that two people have settled down." Xu Wanyang hugged his head in despair and shouted, "Oh my god, you can forget such a big thing as Rong Ye, You, the bridegroom, are too incompetent!"

Rong Ye's face was a bit ugly, probably it was the first time he was scolded like this, Xu Wanyang couldn't help but push him forward, "What are you still doing in a daze, hurry in, hurry up and find Mengchao, go with her first Sorry, do you know..."

For some reason, Rong Ye, who has always been quick to move, hesitated. He took a few steps hesitantly, stopped to look at Xu Wanyang, and the latter waved his hand vigorously at him, feeling a little irritable, "You... ..."

Xu Wanyang put his hands on his hips angrily: "What are you, hurry up and hear if I can find it myself, and I won't cause you any trouble. Let's go now."

He left with a very ugly look on his face.
