Jun Lingyun interrupted. Chu Yunxi smiled and nodded.
"A tree of plum blossoms and a poem, proud of its branches in the wind and snow. How could you not be happy with such beautiful flowers?"
"Then let's go back to the palace and enjoy the plum blossoms."
Chu Yunxi's eyes were bright, yes, in the imperial garden of the palace, there must be plum blossoms even if there were no flowers.
Jun Lingyun said goodbye to Sikong Yu, and then carried Chu Yunxi onto the carriage back to the palace. The carriage creaked slowly on the snowy ground.
Chu Yunxi leaned in Jun Lingyun's arms, feeling so good that she couldn't help but show off to him.
"Ling Yun, I was reading in the library tower recently and got a good prescription. Today I gave the prescription to Mrs. Song."
Jun Lingyun looked down at her little fox, what else was she thinking? No wonder she had a weird look on her face just now.
Chu Yunxi raised her eyes and looked at him.
"I will definitely help Master Song achieve her wish."
Jun Lingyun asked cooperatively:
"What does she want?"
"Of course, I want to leave a wife for my husband and continue the legacy of the Sikong family."
As soon as she said this, Jun Lingyun's throat moved slightly, but he could do nothing but praise:
"My queen is indeed omnipotent."
Chu Yunxi glanced at him slyly again, why did Jun Lingyun's words sound a bit off-putting? It seemed like she didn't say anything she shouldn't have said?
"Ling Yun, it seems like I didn't see Bai Xiao today?"
Although she didn't know what Jun Lingyun was eating, her intuition told her that it was better to change the subject quickly.
As expected, Jun Lingyun let her go and answered her questions.
"Bai Xiao let the wolf girl go, but I punished her with a military stick."
"Bai Xiao? Let the wolf girl go?"
Chu Yunxi couldn't believe it. With Bai Xiao's loyalty to Jun Lingyun, even if it cost his life, he probably wouldn't say no.
How could such a white owl let go of the wolf girl who had repeatedly done harm to his master?
Jun Lingyun nodded.
"Well, there is a hidden story here."
Chu Yunxi quickly sat down, ready to listen to the story. Seeing her like this, Jun Lingyun had no choice but to start telling.
"Back then, there were two major forces in the Northern Barbarian Kingdom. On the one hand, there was the high-profile Northern Barbarian royal family, and on the other hand, there was the low-key Chena tribe.
The Northern Barbarian royal family liked to go to war, but the China tribe was recuperating and recuperating during this period, quietly growing and becoming more prosperous. Later, it actually had the momentum to overtake the Northern Barbarian royal family."
Chu Yunxi listened with great interest.
"What does this have to do with Bai Xiao letting the wolf girl go?"
Jun Lingyun reached out and touched her head, which was extremely curious about knowledge.
"Don't be impatient, Xi'er, we'll talk about it soon."
Chu Yunxi nodded obediently and listened quietly again.
"At that time, we wanted to secretly contact the leader of the China tribe, hoping to cooperate with him to deal with the Northern Barbarian royal family. But who knew that when we arrived at the China tribe, we only saw corpses strewn across the field and rivers of blood."
Chu Yunxi was shocked when he heard this.
"Did the Northern Barbarian royal family do it? Did they get there first?"
Jun Lingyun agreed with her conjecture.
"Yes, we checked the wounds on the dead bodies and found that they were indeed caused by the Northern Barbarians themselves. We were a step too late."
Thinking of the original scene, Jun Ling couldn't help but frown slightly and closed his eyes.
The three-year-old child lay softly in the woman's arms, as if sleeping soundly, but the dark red color all over his body was so dazzling.
The old man's rickety body was hung in mid-air by a horse rope around his neck.
There was still smoke in the chimney of the hut, but the food on the stove was no longer eaten. It gradually dried up into a fire and burned the memory of the owner's family.
Although Chu Yunxi had not seen the horror of the war with his own eyes, he had heard it described by his father and brother.
Just thinking about such a scene is enough to make people unable to swallow, not to mention that Jun Lingyun saw it with his own eyes when he was young.
She reached out and held Jun Lingyun's hand, wanting to give him some insignificant strength.
Jun Lingyun gave her a reassuring smile. He was used to seeing this, and his heart was already as hard as iron.
I don't know why, but when I talked to Chu Yunxi at this moment, I felt the compassion I felt when I first faced the battlefield.
"We wanted to find someone alive so that we could get some information. In the end, we only found a boy in his teenage years. The others were dead."
Chu Yunxi thought of something and opened her eyes slightly.
"That boy, is he?"
"My Xi'er is smart."
Jun Lingyun curled her lips and praised him. Chu Yunxi didn't expect that she would reveal such shocking news today just by asking casually.
"It's a pity that the boy had a high fever and was in coma for several days. When he woke up, he had no memory of the past. But he did not forget his handsome appearance. I pitied him for being alone, so I took him with me to cultivate him, and today we are here.
The white owl."
"So, Bai Xiao knows that he is from the Northern Barbarian Kingdom, so he can't be cruel to the wolf girl who is also from the Northern Barbarian Kingdom?"
Chu Yunxi expressed her suspicion, but this time, Jun Lingyun shook her head.
"He also fought with me against the Northern Barbarian Army, and he never showed any mercy. This time, he encountered an emotional disaster.
He thinks that the wolf girl may be a survivor of the China tribe like him. She may even be his blood relative."
Chu Yunxi no longer knew what to say, so she nodded dully. If this was the case, then the issue of dealing with the wolf girl would need to be carefully considered.
In the palace, Bai Xiao, who didn't know that he was being discussed by his two masters, was still lying on the bed recovering from his injuries.
The figure outside the door swayed. I didn't know who it was. It seemed that he wanted to enter but didn't dare to.
"If you want to come in, come in; if you don't, then leave."
Bai Xiao thought it was An San. After all, apart from his master and the people in the execution room, the only people who knew that he had been beaten by a military stick were An San.
After hearing Bai Xiao's words, the man dared to step in cautiously.
"Brother Bai Xiao, it's me. I'm here to see you. Are you seriously injured?"
Bai Xiao took a look and saw that it was the guard who asked him to help find eggs last night.
How did this man know he was injured?
Bai Xiao thought to himself, the more he lived, the more he returned, and now a new person actually saw the joke.
"It's just a minor injury. It'll be fine in a day or two. Let's go back after watching it."
The guard looked apologetic.
"It's all my fault for being reckless last night. I didn't know that Brother Bai Xiao had important matters, so I broke in without permission and disrupted your plan. That's why Brother Bai Xiao failed to complete the task assigned by the emperor and received a military stick."
Bai Xiao looked at him suspiciously. This child's imagination was too rich.
"May I have your name?"
The guard felt happy when he saw that Bai Xiao had no intention of blaming him.
"Brother Bai Xiao, just call me Xiao Lei."
Bai Xiao nodded.
"Xiao Lei, last night was none of your business. Don't think too much. It was my own fault."
Bai Xiao was telling the truth, but the guard Xiao Lei felt even more guilty and lowered his head.
"Brother Bai Xiao, if you say this, I feel even more ashamed.
Brother Ansan has already told me that the thief you want to arrest was about to show up, but I came out to disrupt the situation and exposed your identity, so that the thief escaped. Brother Bai Xiao was punished by the emperor for causing this."
