My lord," Yang Muyun said to Qian, "Let's go?" ”

"Hmm." Yu Qian stared in the direction of Tumubao for a while, then turned around and returned to the car.

The group walked along the ice that Mo Buyu and Alexei had stepped on, facing the opposite shore. The cold wind blew through the mirror-clear ice, rolled up flakes of snow, and threw them into people's collars, making people shiver. The sound of squeaking snow penetrates into people's ears, causing a strange feeling in people's hearts.

Yang Muyun This is the first time to ride a horse and walk on the ice, whether it is a river or a lake in the winter in the south of the Yangtze River, it is not frozen, and he has never walked on the frozen water, the feeling of slippery and shivering makes him very unaccustomed, he is more afraid that the ice will suddenly crack, and then even the person and the horse fall into the cold and biting river water, simply get off the horse, and move forward step by step with the reins of the horse with his hand. At this time, a horse galloped past quickly, it was Lin Meier.

"Hey-" Yang Muyun opened his mouth and shouted, "Be careful, don't ride so fast!" Lin Meier only glanced back at him lightly, and shook the reins, as if she was running faster.

Since yesterday, Lin Meier has been ignoring Yang Muyun, and she has also opened a long distance when walking.

"Women are like this, you never know when you provoke her," Yang Muyun shook his head helplessly, "When she is petty with you, she will treat your words of persuasion as if they were air." Well, let her go, maybe she really won't pester me anymore because of her displeasure. ”

Just thinking about it, he suddenly heard a sound of "Kara-" in front of him, and the horse neighed, and a big hole opened in the ice, and Lin Meier and the horse fell into the ice cave. Yang Muyun was startled, shook off the reins of the horse and rushed forward. The current under the ice seemed to be very urgent, the horse didn't go down first, and seeing that Lin Mei'er was about to be swept under the ice, Yang Muyun stepped forward with an arrow, leaned over and pounced, his arm stretched out, and he grabbed Lin Meier's wrist, but he was surrounded by the torrent under the ice, "Poof-" and Lin Mei'er fell into the torrent under the ice together. This became a hurry, and everyone else was stunned.

"Quick, go and save someone." Yu Qian witnessed all this, lifted the thick cotton curtain and shouted to the guards around him. A group of personal guards hurriedly got off their horses and ran towards the ice cave, but Yang Lin and the others had already been swept under the ice by the torrent, and there was not the slightest figure in the ice cave?

"My lord—" Mo Buyu said to Alexei anxiously, "Alexey, what should I do?" ”

Alexei jumped off his horse with a solemn face, and strode towards the soldiers downstream of the river, not knowing what he was going to do, and followed.

Although the ice on the river is thick, it can be clear and clear, and the situation under the ice can be seen at a glance, Alexei saw Yang Muyun and Lin Meier hugging each other and going down the torrent under the ice, estimated the speed of the water, ran forward and stopped, without saying a word, he took out the heavy sword on his waist and smashed it towards the ice, without saying a word, he also pulled out the saber on his waist and smashed it into the ice......

......

When Yang Muyun fell into the water with Lin Mei'er, he felt that the blood in his entire head was frozen and coagulated, and the cold and biting river water enveloped his whole body. He hugged Lin Meier tightly and tried to struggle to get out of the water, but his forehead hit the thick ice with a "bang-" heart, and his heart sank, knowing that the two of them had been swept downstream by the river under the ice.

"Hmm......" Lin Mei'er struggled desperately a few times, Yang Muyun leaned over and whispered: "Don't move, the more we move, the faster we will sink." "I'm in a hurry, the thick ice extends downstream, how can I save myself? He grew up in the water town of the south of the Yangtze River, and he can swim in the water since he was a child, and it is okay to hold his breath underwater even if it takes two teas, but what about Lin Meier? He lowered his head and glanced at it, Lin Mei'er's movements gradually slowed down, becoming more and more weak, her eyes were closed, and a series of bubbles floated out of her mouth and nose.

Yang Muyun's heartstrings tightened, shook her body, and saw that her head hung down weakly, and without hesitation, she puffed up her breath and leaned towards her lips, pressing close to her lips. Suddenly, Lin Mei'er opened her eyes, her pretty face showed a mixture of shock and anger, and she raised her arms and pushed towards his chest.

Maybe it was because his arms were weak under suffocation, and he couldn't push him away, and he couldn't help but be ashamed and anxious, "You ......" As soon as Tan opened his mouth, he poured a mouthful of ice water.

Yang Muyun hurriedly gestured to tell her not to move, and when the two were making a fuss under the ice, there was a "click-" sound above their heads,

The thick ice actually cracked. Yang Muyun did not hesitate at all, and raised Lin Mei'er high with his arms, pushing out of the water.

"Quick, sir, give me your hand!" A familiar voice sounded in Yang Muyun's ears, he squinted, and as soon as he raised his arm, he felt that his body was light, and he was pulled out of the cold and biting water.

After a few cheers in his ears, Yang Muyun lay on the ice and took a long breath before opening his eyes, and saw two unusually tall and burly figures standing in front of him. "Silent, Alexey? It turned out to be the two of them. Yang Muyun's heartstrings, which had been tense, loosened, and he collapsed on his back. He looked sideways, and saw Lin Mei'er sitting on the ice, her pretty face was blue from the cold, Alexei took off her leather robe and covered her, she was shivering with cold, and when she saw Yang Muyun looking at her, she glared at her viciously, with that look, as if she wanted to tear him apart.

Yang Muyun felt a chill in his vest, and hurriedly turned his face away. "Whew-" A thick leather robe was draped over him, and then he saw Mo Bu grinning at himself. He sat up quickly, propped up the leather robe with both hands, and wanted to throw it back to Mo Buyu, but was held down by one of his big hands.

"I'm not cold, just put it on, my lord," Mo Buyu said and squinted at Alexey, who was standing next to him with a pair of furry arms exposed, "Speaking of which, thanks to him, I can accurately judge you and Lin ...... The location where Lin Gongzi will flow through has chiseled the ice surface in time, and only then has the two of you been rescued. ”

"Oh." Yang Muyun looked up at Alexey, wanting to say a few words of thanks, but thinking that he couldn't understand Chinese, he arched his hand towards him.

Alexei smiled and pressed his left hand to his chest and bowed.

"Mu Yun-" Yu Qian and a group of guards also arrived, and seeing that they were both out of danger, Fang breathed a sigh of relief, "Are you all right?" ”

"Lord Yu, I'm ...... Ah sneeze-" A cold breath rushed straight to Yang Muyun's head, and he couldn't help but sneeze.

"Quick," Yu Qian beckoned to the belated carriage behind him, turned to him and said, "Hurry up to the carriage, otherwise you will freeze." ”

"I, I'm fine," Yang Muyun waved his hand again and again, looking at Lin Mei'er, "She's freezing even more, let's let her go to the car!" ”

————————————

Yang Muyun felt that his body was even colder, because the skin of his whole body had been soaked in the cold and biting water, he felt pain all over his body when he moved a little, but he couldn't change this cold and wet clothes, Lin Meier was now in Yu Qian's carriage! I had to wrap the leather robe that Mo Buyu handed him tightly and hold it in the cold wind, one was not enough, and one Alexei was added. But the sky didn't face him again, and snowflakes fell in the sky again, "This ghost weather!" He cursed secretly.

Yu Qian's carriage was given to Lin Meier, and he could only ride a horse, this was a guard's horse, Lin Meier's horse was swept away by the river, and one of the guards gave his horse to Lord Yu and rode with another guard.

Looking at Yang Muyun's cold and blue face, his body couldn't help but tremble, Yu Qian comforted: "It should be Juyong Guancheng not far ahead, when we get to the city, we will find a place to live, change your clothes, and rest for a night, it should be comfortable." ”

"I delayed the adult's trip, and I felt very uneasy in my humble heart." Yang Muyun said.

"What did Mu Yun say," Yu Qian said with a slight smile: "Even if this incident doesn't happen, I will have to rest in Juyong Guancheng." As he spoke, he turned his back and gently hammered his waist.

"Your ...... hurt, sir"

"It's not in the way," Yu Qian waved his hand, "I'm old and can't bear to travel long distances, so it's okay to rest more." Looking at his voice, "I didn't expect Mu Yun's water nature to be so good, from where Miss Lin fell into the water, to you, I am afraid that there are not hundreds of meters in the middle, if it is an ordinary person, I am afraid that I have already fainted out of breath." The old man was really worried about you at that time! ”

"Let Lord Yu smile," Yang Muyun said: "The humble position is from Huzhou Mansion, where it is next to the Taihu Lake, since he was a child, he has been playing by the Taihu Lake since he was a child, and the water nature is acceptable. ”

"Oh, no wonder," Yu Qian stroked his beard and bowed slightly, "If the old man is thirty years younger, he also wants to compare himself with Mu Yun." ”

"Lord Yu, you also know water?" Yang Muyun said in surprise.

"You and I are both from Jiangnan Water Town," Yu Qian said with a smile: "Many students there are good at water." However, ...... shook his head, "Too many years have passed, and the old man has become unfamiliar with the skills of swimming. ”

"I forgot that Lord Yu is from Hangzhou Mansion, and it is not far from the lowly Huzhou Mansion," Yang Muyun shrugged his nose and forced a sneeze, "The water in the north is too cold, if it weren't for the two of them smashing the ice, even if the lowly position could still hold his breath, he would have been frozen and fainted in a few moments." ”

"The two of them will never abandon you," Yu Qian looked at the unusually tall and burly figures of Mo Buyu and Alexei in front of him, "According to the physique and ability of the two of them, it is not difficult to find a future in the army, but they would rather stay by Mu Yun's side, which is very rare." ”

"If Lord Yu is optimistic about them, please find a future for them," Yang Muyun said, "I have thanked them here." ”

"Are you willing?" Yu Qian's eyes flickered.

Yang Muyun smiled, "If they can get ahead, it's too late to be happy for them, so how can they be reluctant?" ”

"This is easy," Yu Qian said lightly: "My Daming is in an eventful time now, and I need people like them, and I will think about this matter when I return to Beijing." ”

"Thank you so much." Yang Muyun held the reins of the horse and arched his hand.

"What about you, Muyun? What's the plan? Now you might as well talk to the old man. Yu Qian looked at him and said.

"Me?" Yang Muyun was stunned, "I haven't thought about this humble position carefully. ”

"Although the vanguard of the government army in this expedition has suffered a great injury, after all, it is the young army of the Son of Heaven, and it was manipulated by the emperor," Yu Qian said: "Even if you don't go out again, you will serve as the imperial city guard, and you will not be left out in the cold, but there are mostly children of lords and nobles in it, and if you want to make achievements in this, I am afraid it will be difficult." Do you command the envoys back to Jinyiwei? Would you like to? ”

"Where to go back, how can I be swayed?" Yang Muyun smiled bitterly, "If the emperor has been abandoning his humble position, it is very possible to be idle at home." ”

"If that's the case, things will be easier to do," Yu Qian smiled instead, and said with a beard: "If the emperor uses you, how can the old man interfere?" If you are at home, the old man can send an official letter to the ministry and ask you to come to the military department. ”

"Really?" Yang Muyun's eyes lit up, and he didn't feel cold anymore, "Can I go back to the military department?" ”

"The Ministry of Officials has an archive of your position in the Ministry of War," Yu Qian said with a smile: "If you don't hold a real position, the old man can take you back to the Ministry of War." ”

"Humble here, thank you too much." Yang Muyun bowed his hand again and again, with a happy face.

"Don't thank me first," Yu Qian waved his hand, "The past is unpredictable, you and I really have a fate to become a jade in this matter, a thank you word is too light, at least you have to set a table of wine for the old man." ”

"It must be," Yang Muyun said excitedly: "Don't talk about a table, just let the lowly position set up wine every day to invite adults, and the lowly position is also willing." ”

Yu Qian smiled, "That's decided." ”

At this moment, Mo Buyu and Alexey, who had been walking in front, stopped, and there was a three-way intersection in front of them, and the two of them didn't know which way to go.

"Just follow the road to the east," Yu Qian said in a loud voice: "Thirty miles ahead should be Juyong Pass." As soon as the words fell, there was a squeaky sound not far away from the car rolling through the snow, Yang Muyun looked sideways, and saw a convoy coming from the fork in the road on the other side, about fifty or sixty cars, all of which were flatbed trucks pulled by oxen, and the car was full of Dengdeng, covered with thick felt, and the man escorting the car was in a strong shape, waving the whip in his hand and shouting loudly.

The first one rode on a tall horse, with a mighty appearance, a peaked fur hat and a fur coat, like the leader of this convoy. But he saw him riding a horse in front of Yang Muyun and his party, bowed his fists, and said loudly: "Excuse me, which road leads to Juyong Pass?" ”

"Are you going to Juyongguan too?" Mo Buyu glanced at him and grinned, "It's just right, follow us all the way." ”
