day to day.

Time flies by like a white horse.

Chen Dong stayed in the cave and his body recovered step by step.

There are snowy lions who are responsible for hunting, so they don't have to worry about food. Even water sources are provided by the snow on the ground.

The living conditions are very poor, but for Chen Dong and the Snowy Lion, it is enough.

During the time of recuperation.

What Chen Dong does most every day is carving wood carvings.

Compared with the three wooden sculptures of the old woman, Alang and Gouwazi, the wooden sculpture of the girl in Chen Dong's mind was always stuck at only being able to carve out the outline, unable to go any further.

This made Chen Dong want to give up carving several times.

But somewhere, there seemed to be an obsession in my mind that I must carve that girl out.

The flames danced.

The snowy lion crouched in front of the cave entrance, shielding Chen Dong from most of the wind and snow.

But Chen Dong was still as usual, sitting like a sculpture by the campfire, holding a broken knife in his hand, carving bit by bit, and bits of sawdust fell to the ground like snowflakes.

The wood carvings in my hands became clearer and clearer.

Next to him, there are statues of an old woman and her family.

In silence.

There was a sudden "click" sound.

Chen Dong casually dropped the broken knife and threw the wooden sculpture into the bonfire dejectedly.

Once again...failed!

Looking at the broken wood carvings that were gradually being swallowed up by the flames, Chen Dong was stunned: "How on earth...how to break through this bottleneck?"

The snowy lion at the entrance of the cave looked back at Chen Dong.

The huge lion's eyes flashed with light.

Immediately, it slowly moved its huge body closer to Chen Dong, as if to comfort him.

Chen Dong smiled sideways and rubbed the snowy lion's mane: "Don't worry, I'm fine."

A few days of getting along.

It brought him closer to the Snowy Lion, which of course was also the reason why the Beast King returned home.

The huge lion's head of the snow-covered lion slowly lowered its head, like a kitten, and shook it affectionately along Chen Dong's right hand, which was rubbing the lion's mane.

This naive look made Chen Dong burst into laughter.

"After all, for such a big man, can he look like a lion king?"

The snowy lion rolled his eyes sideways, then turned around to face outside the cave, with his butt facing Chen Dong.

Chen Dong was speechless for a while.

But my depression has improved a lot.

He took a deep breath and picked up the wood next to him again. This time, he did not drop the knife in a hurry. Instead, he closed his eyes and kept thinking, letting the figure of the girl appear in his mind.

…

The royal court of the Huns.

Following Xi Xing's order, the crowds in Thirteen Cities surged.

A large number of troops poured onto the streets like a flood and dispersed to every corner.

The originally peaceful and prosperous Thirteen Cities turned into chaos as the army took to the streets.

The people were panicked, running away in fear and screaming.

Driven arbitrarily by the army, he went directly into a nearby house and was guarded.

"Martial law! Martial law! Martial law!"

"The Queen ordered the whole city to be searched and the people are waiting where they are!"

"Quick, quick, search the whole city as quickly as possible!"

Orders were shouted one after another in the city.

at the same time.

Under the alley of a house near the south gate wall of the royal city, a beautiful figure carefully looked around.

Ye Linglong was wrapped in linen, trying to make her appear less conspicuous in this dark and narrow alley.

Even the movements are extremely careful.

The alleys are filled with all kinds of garbage, even feces, animal carcasses, and thick black liquid under the feet. The smell that permeates the air makes people want to spit out their internal organs.

Ye Linglong didn't care about all this.

She wanted to escape and go find Chen Dong in the ice and snow outside.

This little pain is nothing!

Compared to the harsh environment in the alley, she was more worried about the Hun soldiers outside.

The people's terrified screams had already reached the sky.

Mixed in there were the shouts of Hun soldiers, and not far away there was even the sound of armor scraping on the road.

"Am I, Ye Linglong, worthy of letting the Xiongnu ban thirteen cities?"

This is what she has in mind.

After being imprisoned in the Hun Palace, she had been thinking about escaping and the Queen's intention of cherishing the star.

But this escape really shocked her.

It turns out that she has always underestimated her importance in Xixing's heart!

Blockade thirteen cities!

You must know that the most prosperous cities of the Xiongnu are only thirteen cities. What is the difference between directly banning them with an order and locking the country?

It’s not just about closing the city, it’s also about driving people away.

This is like using a giant net to catch all the fish in the sea, just to find her!

This is simply a big deal!

With the battle going on outside now, even if she had wings, it would be impossible for her to fly out!

wait!

Maybe the best way!

"God bless me, as long as I survive the first wave of their arrests, I might be able to escape when night falls and I relax!"

Ye Linglong comforted herself like this, glanced around with the corner of her eye, gritted her teeth, wrapped her sack tightly and squatted down, leaning against a rotten backpack next to her.

If you don't take a closer look, it would be difficult to detect it from outside the alley!

Inside the palace of the Huns.

Xi Xing sat on the throne of the royal palace, listening to the loud noise outside, her face as cold as frost.

"Am I not good enough to you? You are well-dressed, well-fed and rich. How can you be a prisoner? You are clearly being raised like a canary, yet you still want to run away!"

She whispered softly, and every word seemed to make the temperature in the hall plummet to freezing point.

There was also anger boiling in her beautiful eyes.

boom!

Xi Xing angrily slapped his palm on the table: "The whole army has been dispatched, but no one has been found yet?"

Outside the palace, a sergeant hurriedly walked over and reported in horror: "Queen Qi, there are no clues yet."

"Clues? What clues do you want!"

Xi Xing sternly reprimanded: "Seal down thirteen cities and send out the entire army. I want you to use the simplest and crudest method to plow the ground and dig out people. I will send people to search those nooks and crannies over and over again."

!”

"As you command!"

After the sergeant retreated in fear.

Xi Xing's face was as cold as frost, and he seemed to be talking to the air: "Have you contacted Honghui?"

She was obviously the only one in the main hall, so the question seemed strange.

Waited three seconds.

A hoarse voice suddenly sounded behind her: "The people have already passed by, and we are waiting for good news."
