Following his gaze, I saw a white, fluffy tail hanging on the wall.

"What's wrong?" she asked.

Gong Beixuan didn't say anything, with unfathomable emotions in his eyes, and walked slowly to the tail.

"You also think this wolf's tail is beautiful, right?" Chu Feiyan also came over and looked at the wolf's tail, recalling the battle in which his parents died.

"So it's a wolf's tail. Why are you hanging here? Does it have any meaning to you?" Gong Beixuan raised his hand, took off a small milky white jade pendant hanging with the wolf's tail, and rubbed it gently in his hand.

"This is a white wolf I rescued. It is very beautiful with its snow-white body. When it was young, it was hit by an arrow shot by a hunter and then carried away by an eagle. I happened to see it, so I shot the eagle to death with my arrow and rescued the little white wolf. From then on, the little white wolf grew up with me. It sticks to me and follows me everywhere. It is very brave in killing enemies in battle and has saved my life many times on the battlefield.

Seven years ago, Pingling City was besieged by the Northern Qi army for more than two months. The food in the city was all gone, and the soldiers suffered heavy casualties, but there was no sign of reinforcement from the court. Seeing that they could not hold the city any longer, Dad discussed with Mom about taking a team to break out.

The enemy's forces were many times larger than ours, and breaking out would mean we might never come back. I was very worried and wanted to stop them from leaving, but the cruel reality did not allow us to be indecisive.

Mother was worried, so she decided to fight their way out with father and a death squad of 5,000 men. I asked Xiaobai to go with them to protect them.

They were ready to die, fought bravely, and carved out a bloody path through the crowd of hundreds of thousands of enemy troops.

We thought they had succeeded in breaking through, and we were all relieved. We stayed in Pingling City and waited for their good news. Ten days later, reinforcements finally arrived! It was my grandfather who led the troops himself despite his illness.

My elder brother Qiao and I opened the city gate and rushed out, and together with the reinforcements, we attacked the enemy from both sides and finally defeated them. The two armies met, but we only saw my grandfather, and did not see my parents and Xiaobai. When I asked my grandfather, it turned out that he did not see them either, and we felt that something was wrong. "

Chu Feiyan's voice choked up when she spoke here, and tears couldn't stop falling from the corners of her eyes.

A clean white handkerchief was handed to her. "Ten days had passed by then. How did you find them?"

She took the handkerchief and wiped the tears from her eyes, then continued, “At first, Brother Qiao and I wanted to take people out to look for him, but Grandfather didn’t agree. There are mountains and ridges outside Pingling Pass, and he was afraid that we would be ambushed by the enemy again.

We tortured several captured enemy generals severely, and they finally confessed after not being able to endure the torture.

From their mouths, I learned that my father and mother had been killed. They were betrayed by the deputy general next to them and led to a valley, where they were killed by the enemy with rolling stones, rolling logs, rain of arrows, and even poison powder. None of the people in the team led by my father and mother survived. "

Chu Feiyan raised her hand and gently stroked the soft fur of the wolf's tail. "Xiaobai is dead too. He was so brave and died next to my father and mother. His tail was cut off by the enemy. I left it as a memorial. Every time I see this tail, it's as if Xiaobai is still by my side."

"Ayan, can you give me this jade token?" Gong Beixuan turned around, looked at her and asked, "Just give it to me as a token of love, okay?"

Chu Feiyan looked at the small jade pendant, which she bought for Xiaobai. She also had it blessed by the old abbot of the temple and it had been hanging around Xiaobai's neck ever since.

"I have a lot of top-quality jades. How about I make you a new one?"

Since it was a token of love, it had a different meaning. It was used to express the love, commitment and loyalty between two people. She had to choose it carefully. How could she give him an old jade pendant? Besides, it was Xiaobai's thing, and it had commemorative significance to her.

Gong Beixuan said, "This one is great, I like it very much. Ayan, the white wolf is gone, I will protect you from now on."

"Since you like it, let's take this one!" Seeing that he insisted, Chu Feiyan let him do it.

But she didn't quite understand why this man insisted on having this jade pendant?

Gong Beixuan replaced the small jade pendant with a red string, then hung it around his neck and carefully put it into his collar.

Then he reached into his sleeve, took out a small box, opened the lid and took out the contents.

Chu Feiyan took a look and saw that it was a crescent-shaped milky white jade pendant with a lifelike phoenix carved on it. The whole body was glowing with fluorescence. It was obviously not an ordinary item. It was very exquisite and beautiful. There was also a red rope tied on the head.

"I carved this myself. I hope you don't mind." Gong Beixuan hung the jade pendant around her neck and looked at it for a while. "It looks very nice."

"Did you carve it yourself?" Chu Feiyan held the jade pendant. It was a piece of warm jade, and it felt extremely smooth in his hand.

"Thank you, I like it very much."

She raised her head and saw the man looking at her with loving eyes. Her face flushed and she quickly avoided his gaze.

"I am hungry."

"Okay, let's eat first, haha!" Gong Beixuan chuckled, walked to the door, opened it and walked out, asking someone to bring lunch to the study.

In the room, Chu Feiyan picked up a pen and wrote more than a dozen urgent letters, which were sent to various places by carrier pigeons.

These carrier pigeons have been specially trained and have an extremely strong sense of direction, allowing them to deliver letters in such bad weather.

In the afternoon, Gong Beixuan went to the palace and told the prince about the unusual things that happened every day.

After hearing this, the prince's face suddenly changed.

If the celestial phenomena are abnormal, there will be great tragedy.

It indicates that a great disaster is about to befall Longyuan Kingdom.

Gong Beixuan did not stay long and left the palace after finishing his words. Although he could control the secrets of heaven and predict dangers, he could not stop the natural disasters.

The prince attached great importance to the divination of the imperial teacher. The court took some precautions in advance, and the emperor issued an edict that all officials from the prefectures to the counties must be prepared for disaster prevention.

This snowfall was just like the previous one. It snowed heavily for more than twenty days. Everywhere I looked, it was white and lifeless. Snow disasters occurred in many places.

Heavy snow blocked the roads and buried many people's houses. Some poor civilians' houses were not solid to begin with and collapsed under the weight of the snow. Many people were killed or injured, and many livestock were frozen to death. Emergency documents about disasters in various places flew into the palace like snowflakes.

The snow was heavier than expected, and I felt the cruelty of the disaster.

The prince summoned ministers to discuss disaster relief for several days, and ordered officials in provincial, township and county governments to settle the victims, open the granaries, and use sleds to deliver the court's relief supplies to the victims.
