Xue Ming'er bit her lip, "Master, do you really have to know?"
Li Hanxue smiled and said, "I'm just curious. If the girl is in trouble, there's no need to say anything."
Xue Ming'er glanced at Li Hanxue and thought to herself: "Young Master saved me, my life belongs to him, what else can't I tell him?"
Xue Ming'er pondered for a long time, and finally made up her mind, "To be honest, young master, our people in the Snow Kingdom are actually all people without fathers and mothers."
"This is strange. All the people in this country actually have no father or mother?" Li Hanxue was surprised, "Then how on earth were you born?"
Xue Ming'er said: "We were all adopted from unknown places. I was raised by my sister. I heard from my sister that she adopted me from an officer when she was thirteen years old.
At first, I thought I was the son or daughter of that chief, but later I realized that was not the case. Every household in our snow country will be forced to adopt a newborn girl every once in a while. In another year,
I'm afraid I will have to adopt a baby girl forcibly."
Li Hanxue was even more shocked after hearing this, "Where do these baby girls come from?"
Xue Ming'er said: "We don't know about this either, but Young Master..."
In the middle of her words, Xue Ming'er suddenly looked around, with a look of vigilance on her face.
"If you have anything to say, feel free to say it, no one will eavesdrop here." Li Hanxue said.
Xue Ming'er said cautiously: "In our snow country, a large number of girls disappear every year. Once a baby girl is adopted, there will be girls who disappear for no reason. Some people say that these girls disappear, which is not the same as Xue Ming'er.
We have an inseparable relationship with Lady Ji. Lady Xue Ji is the lord of our Snow Country. Since the founding of our Snow Country, she has been ruling the entire country. Every year, she will order a large number of maids to be selected from the people to enter the palace. These maids...
"
"How are these palace ladies?" Li Hanxue asked.
"After these palace ladies entered the imperial city, they never came out again." The panic in Xue Ming'er's eyes became more and more intense. "The sister who adopted me was summoned to the palace by Lady Xue Ji. I was suffering at home.
I have been waiting for her for five years, but I haven't received any news. My sister has always loved me, and there is no way that she has not contacted me for five years. She must have encountered something unexpected."
Xue Ming'er's eyes were slightly red, and she was about to cry.
Li Hanxue asked: "When did this situation begin?"
Xue Ming'er said: "I heard from the older generation that this situation has already started from their ancestors. I was just afraid of being called into the palace, so I accidentally ran into it and wanted to escape from the Snow Country, but I didn't.
I thought I met a robber."
Li Hanxue frowned slightly, "This matter is really strange. Baby girls are constantly being brought in and other girls are taken away from Snow Country. Is it possible that this is a country that specializes in human trafficking? This Snow Country was established purely for
In order to cultivate beautiful women and then export them to other places for sale?”
Li Hanxue couldn't help but feel amazed when he thought of this. If the truth is as he guessed, then this Snow Country can be said to be the largest human trafficking organization in the entire Nebula Continent.
But one thing that makes Li Hanxue feel quite strange is that the women in this Snow Country are all too beautiful. Even the Ulan Country on the Nebula Continent, which is rich in beauties, has ugly women, but there is no woman here.
They all look vulgar and ugly, but they are all top-notch beauties.
"It seems that if you want to reveal the answer, you have to go to Yucheng."
From the conversation with Xue Min'er, Li Hanxue learned that Yucheng was the capital of the Snow Country, and Lady Xue Ji lived there.
"Sir, it's getting late, why don't you go to the humble house to rest for the night?" Xue Ming'er said.
Li Hanxue shook her head: "No, I still have important things to do."
"Where are you going, young master?" Xue Ming'er looked reluctant to leave.
Li Hanxue said: "Imperial City."
"Young master wants to go to the imperial city?"
Li Hanxue smiled and said: "There will be no accidents."
Just as Li Hanxue was about to turn around and leave, hundreds of female soldiers suddenly poured out of the spacious street. These female soldiers wearing bamboo hats quickly approached Li Hanxue and Xue Ming'er.
The leading female soldier wore a sharp sword on her waist and stared at Xue Ming'er with a pair of phoenix eyes. After looking her up and down, she said, "Will you come into the palace with us? Lady Xue Ji wants to see you."
Xue Ming'er was so frightened that her face turned pale, "No, I don't want to go to Yucheng, and I don't want to see Lady Xue Ji."
The female soldier frowned and said, "It's your honor for Lady Xue Ji to see you, why do you resist?"
Xue Ming'er shouted: "My sister entered Yucheng five years ago and hasn't come back yet. She must have been killed. If I enter Yucheng, I will definitely be killed too. I don't want to die."
"Nonsense!" the female soldier shouted coldly, "Ms. Xue Ji is compassionate and kind, how could she allow her people to be killed?"
"But why didn't sister and the others come back when they left?" Xue Ming'er asked, "Why didn't they even write me a letter in five years? Sister, she has been very good to me since she was a child. If something hadn't happened to her, she would never have written me a letter.
Such."
The female soldier said: "The rules in the palace are strict. Your sister entered the palace and became a palace maid. She can't leave the palace for ten years, and she can't communicate with people outside, so she can't contact you. After entering the palace, you sisters can naturally get together.
."
Xue Ming'er looked desperate and kept shaking her head: "No, I don't want to enter the palace!"
Saying that, Xue Ming'er looked at Li Hanxue for help and called urgently, "Sir, help me!"
The female soldier stared at Li Hanxue with a strange look in her eyes because she had never seen such a man before.
"Who are you?"
Li Hanxue said: "I am Li Hanxue. I came to the Snow Country to do perfume business."
"You are not a citizen of our Snow Country. Wherever you come from, just go back. Our Snow Country does not welcome men." The female soldier said unceremoniously.
Li Hanxue smiled and said: "You will welcome it."
The female soldier raised her eyebrows and was about to scold Li Hanxue, but her eyes suddenly dimmed, and then became extremely soft. Her eyes looking at Li Hanxue were full of reverence.
Not only this female soldier is like this, but all other female soldiers are the same.
Li Hanxue smiled and said: "Can you please take me to Yucheng? I just want to meet your Lady Xue Ji."
"Yes, sir." The female soldier said respectfully.
When Xue Ming'er saw this, she was shocked, "Sir, what's going on?"
Li Hanxue did not answer Xue Ming'er's question, but simply said: "Miss Xue, this trip may be very dangerous. You should go back to your home."
