Chapter 569: "Prime Minister" Secret Report
On the vast snowfield, a figure covered in thick fur is moving forward with difficulty, every foot down, the snow does not reach the thighs, sometimes accidentally stepping on the snow pit, the snow is not even up to the neck, so in order to prevent the snow from swallowing himself, this person also holds a long wooden plank in his hand, so that when he falls into the snow pit, he can climb out by the plank.

"This ghost place, as long as Lao Tzu leaves here alive this time, he will not come back after being killed in this life!" I saw that this person suddenly fell into a snow pit again, and he was angry and shouted angrily.
Although this fur man is full of beard, he doesn't look very old, it is estimated that he is only about twenty or thirty years old, tall and strong, which also allows him to keep moving forward in the snow, even if he falls into a snow pit, he can climb out by leaning on a wooden plank, of course, this is also thanks to the fact that the snow here is not too thick, at most it is up to his neck, otherwise if he encounters a big snow nest several feet deep, I am afraid he will die a long time ago.
But anger is anger, the road still has to go, especially he still has an important task in his body, as soon as he thinks of his task, this bearded young man can't help but reach out and touch his chest, where there is a sturdy cotton cloth, which contains an important piece of information, and he must live to send this information to Lingzhou.
Thinking of the importance of this information in his arms, the bearded young man couldn't help but speed up, he had walked this road several times, and knew that as long as he walked for more than ten miles, there was a mountain col in front of him, where it was more sheltered from the wind, and there must be less snow, and it was not early now, so he had to rush there before dark, otherwise he would freeze to death in this snow!
However, walking in the snow is too physically exhausting, although the bearded man is strong and has a very amazing will, but after walking for a while, he also feels that he can't support it, especially the hot lungs, every breath of cold air, it feels like a knife in the lungs, which makes him have to find a shallow place to stop, put the board under his buttocks, and sit there panting for a while.
Finally felt relieved, only to see the bearded man reach out from his arms to find a delicate copper kettle, pull out the plug and put the kettle under his nose and smell it, although the nose has been frozen, but can still smell a spicy wine, which makes him can't help but show an intoxicated expression, and then enjoy a small sip, as a result, I feel a line of fire from the throat straight into the stomach, the body seems to be warm, there is an indescribable comfort.
"It's so comfortable, it's just too little, I don't know if I can go to Lingzhou tomorrow, I still have to save some drink!" The bearded man said to himself again at the moment, in this endless snowfield, there was no living thing to see except him, and if he didn't say a few more words to himself, the bearded man was afraid that he would go crazy.
The body was warm, and the bearded man took out the dried meat that he had hidden close to him and nibbled on a few bites, and then continued to hurry, after all, the sun had already reached the edge of the West Mountain at this time, and if he didn't hurry up, he would really have to spend the night on the snow.
Thinking of this, the bearded man stood up again and hurried forward desperately, and at this time the sky was getting darker and darker, and what was worse was that because the snow buried everything on the ground, and there were few trees on the grassland, it was easy to go in the wrong direction, and even the bearded man did not dare to stare at the snow all the time, because he knew that if he looked at it for a long time, his eyes would be blind.
Fortunately, the bearded man had a very good sense of direction, and knew how to tell the direction by the sun, so before dark, he finally came to a mountain col, there was a chaotic rock cliff, the tall stone cliff blocked the wind and snow, and the high terrain made the snow here very thin, and finally the bearded man found a depression under a sloping boulder, blocking the wind and snow outside, and there was no snow at all.
The bearded man was very happy to have such a good place to rest, but he didn't dare to lie down and rest like this, although his tired body was about to fall apart now, but he still insisted on looking around for something to burn, because he wanted to build a fire, so that he could warm his body, and at the same time ensure that he would not freeze to death when he slept at night.
But what made the bearded man despair was that he could not find a tree in this col except for a few wild grasses, and in the end he collected all the wild grass he could find, but it did not burn for long, after all, these grasses were not resistant to burning at all.
In the face of such a bad situation, the bearded man had no choice, and finally lit a fire, first roasted his hands and feet, especially the leather boots on his feet have been frozen, and he needs to use the fire to melt off the ice on them, so that he can take them off, and his feet are already full of chilblains, in order not to let his feet rot, he took out the wine jug in his arms in pain, poured out some wine and rubbed it on his feet, hoping that this would make the qi and blood on his feet active.
When he had dried his boots and roasted his hands and feet, and there was not much fuel left, he finally gritted his teeth and extinguished the fire, spread the ashes and the rest of the grass under him, drank a few sips of wine and nibbled on a few strips of jerky, and then wrapped himself in a blanket and lay down, and now he could only resign himself to fate, if God did not appreciate his face, then he would have to freeze to death here.
The bearded man was already tired and tired after a day's journey, and his body was temporarily warm, so he fell asleep as soon as he lay down, and he couldn't care about life or death. But fortunately, God still admired his face, and when the sun rose the next day, the bearded man woke up smoothly.
But the beard that just woke up was not comfortable, his hands and feet were all unconscious, and his body was also painful and numb, and finally he finally got up, and then lit the weeds under him, roasted for a while before feeling warm on his body, and then ate something and drank some water, and then left here, and then accelerated his speed, he had made up his mind to rush to Lingzhou today, otherwise if he stayed in the field for the night, he would have to freeze to death.
In fact, the beard is not very far from Lingzhou, if it is placed in normal times, I am afraid that it will only take half a day to arrive, but because of the heavy snow to close the road, it is already very difficult to walk on the snow, so the usual half-day journey may not be far in a day, so the beard is also desperately on the road, and finally arrived at Lingzhou City after dark.
At this time, the gate of Lingzhou City had been closed, but the bearded man used a special token to let people hang him on the city wall with a hanging basket, and then rushed to a mansion in the city. ”
