After the wrong flirtation, I became the villain's favorite

Six or seven carriages were galloping across the snowfield, raising up snow foam that caused the passing caravan to curse.

"Kunlun had an avalanche a few days ago. Are these people running away like this for their lives?" The man in the caravan wiped his face. "The mountain is closed. Where are they going?"

"Well, who knows?" Another one glanced at the departing convoy. "They didn't even enter Muztagh Ata. How anxious are they?"

Everyone who makes a living in the snowy area knows that Muztagh Ata is the only town before entering the Kunlun Mountains. Whether going to Tuhun, entering the mountains, or going to Pingcheng, supplies are generally obtained here.

However, the group of people passed through the city gate without even stopping.

It was noon when the carriage, which had been galloping for five or six days, stopped.

After running day and night from the warm climate of Citong Port to Kunlun, some people have already suffered from acclimatization. Even those with strong physique can still bear it, but the horses can't stand it.

Both the man and the horse were very tired.

The carriage stopped and a gust of wind blew over the snowfield, sharp and fierce.

The attendants rolled up the curtains of the carriage, revealing the pale face of the young master in the lead.

The fox fur on his snow-white cloak made him look elegant and refined.

The dazzling white of the vast snowfield did not detract from its charm. Instead, it further highlighted the beauty of the ice and snow, like a banished immortal.

Xie Yunji got off the carriage, lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, then went to check the items on the carriages.

When the curtain of the first carriage was rolled up, there were grim swords hanging all over the walls. At this moment, due to the low temperature in the snowfield, a layer of frost had formed on those strange weapons, and murderous aura was exuding.

The second car behind it revealed some gorgeous clothes and brocade boxes used by women. Xie Yunji's thin and slender fingers gently brushed across each piece of brocade, and he listened attentively to the secret guard's report.

"Young master, the entrance to the mountain ahead is where Madam Song and Xie Hanlin entered. Our people followed them in that day. However, the avalanche was too sudden and most of our people were killed. We still couldn't save Madam Song. We could only watch Xie Hanlin push Madam Song into the ice cave." The secret guard whispered.

The secret guard came from another direction. Even with his face covered, it was not difficult to see that his facial skin was severely frostbitten, but his eyes were still as sharp and bright as an eagle. "I have gone to Muztagh Ata to recruit a large number of laborers in the past few days. We are going to dig up the mountain buried by the snow."

"Xie Hanlin has already... Madam Song should be safe in the ice cave for the time being."

Xie Yunji paused for a moment, "Go on."

He knew about the Kunlun avalanche and that Medicine King Valley was hidden in the Kunlun Mountains, so he had a bad premonition at that time.

Since things at Citong Port had not yet been arranged properly, he did not dare to delay any longer. He was very anxious, and after galloping for five or six days, he finally approached Kunlun.

Sure enough, the secret guard who met up with him brought such bad news.

Another secret guard said, "Sir, our people in Citong Port have killed all 58 members of the royal family of the previous dynasty. It was done very cleanly. The royal family is extravagant and likes to eat silver fish. That batch of silver fish was poisoned. No one would think it was related to you."

"The substitute you found looks like me and has a similar body shape to me, but people can still tell from his movements and postures that he is only 80% similar. We need to find a more suitable one." Xie Yunji asked, "Are there only 58 members of the royal family in the previous dynasty?"

The secret guard continued, "All fifty-eight people on the family tree of the previous dynasty have been killed. Apart from these fifty-eight people, the ranks and authority of the others cannot interfere with the governor of Citong Port. If they want to see you, it all depends on whether you are willing."

"Very good." Xie Yunji clapped his hands in a low voice. "From now on, Citong Port will no longer be constrained by the royal family of the previous dynasty. They have occupied Citong for so many years, blocking the port and watching the world from a well. This is so stupid that it should have collapsed long ago. You have worked hard these days. Just keep a close eye on my substitute. Once my wife and I leave the port, you can remove the secret sentry."

"I understand!" the secret guard bowed and looked up at the young man in white.

The young man's snow-white cloak blended into the snow, his profile was as thin as a jade crown, and his whole body aura was cold and noble. Even without looking at him, he had a strong aura of oppression that made people dare not disrespect him.

How could one find someone who looked 80% like him? Even with the help of the miraculous doctor's disguise technique, the substitute's appearance was far inferior to the young master's peerless brilliance.

The secret guard naturally knew that the lady the young master was talking about was Madam Song, not Madam Lu who was currently in Xie Mansion in Yunjing. He continued, "Young master, you can rest assured about the substitute. Even if you and Madam Song travel to Japan, he won't dare to play any tricks. It's a great thing for him to replace you as the governor of Citong. He would be more than happy to be able to do it for the rest of his life, not to mention that his mother is still in our hands."

Xie Yunji nodded, staring at the brocade in his hand in a daze.

In fact, he has not had a good sleep since he reunited with Song Nihuan.

Everything he did was to plan for the future, including Song Lanzhi's sudden change in illness, getting married, and letting Lu Man have a child, all just to paralyze Xie Tan.

Let everyone think that he had completely given up on Song Nihuan.

All he wanted was her. Fame, wealth and honor were nothing compared to her.

However, no matter how well he planned, he could not have expected that she would encounter an avalanche that rarely occurs in decades.

Xie Yunji sighed softly, and the sigh was instantly lost in the wind in the empty snowfield.

Apart from the darkness, there was the sound of flowing water in the underground river.

Song Nihuan found the bag of dry food that Xie Yunjie threw in at the critical moment.

She chewed hard with tears in her eyes.

After an unknown amount of time, there was light.

Along with the light came the noisy voices and the sound of icicles digging.

The light was getting brighter and brighter. Song Nihuan stood up panting. After living in the dark for a long time, the sudden light made her feel uncomfortable, so she raised her hand to block the dazzling light.

A familiar outline gradually emerged from the light, tall, thin and poorly dressed.

Yes……

The next moment, she rushed forward and hugged the man's waist tightly. Her tears froze into ice as soon as they flowed out, causing her face to feel piercing pain.

The visitor also hugged her tightly.

"Xie Yunjie! You are still alive!" She sobbed heartbrokenly.

Song Nihuan felt his body stiffen.

Xie Yunji had excellent hearing, and although Xie Yunjie's name was similar to his, he was not unable to tell them apart.

The joy that welled up in my heart was drowned out by bitterness.

She...would never be so close to him.

The next moment, Xie Yunji's clear and deep voice rang in her ears, "...It's me."

Song Nihuan saw him clearly and loosened her hand. Her frosted eyelashes could not hide her horrified and fragile gaze, "You..."

The wind whistled, and Xie Yunji's snow-white robe sleeves fluttered. He looked even colder and more lonely than the snow on the mountaintop. However, he smiled faintly, stretched out his hand and pulled her back into his arms, saying word by word: "It's me, Madam. Sorry for waiting."
