What is cold? What is the snow and ice, the cold wind is biting?

Ye Qingyan experienced this feeling for the first time in his previous life and this life, and the whole person shrank on the back of a horse, almost becoming an ice sculpture.

After being 'kidnapped' by Xiao Changqi, she would have trouble with him at first. Now half a month has passed, and she has become very well-behaved...... Because even the strength to speak is frozen, and the legs are almost unconscious because of riding a horse. Every day, when I rested and dismounted, I almost always fell. Fortunately, she was dressed thick enough, and it didn't hurt if she really fell.

Unlike her, who was about to freeze into a popsicle, a certain man and his heavenly and earthly branches were still just ordinary cotton clothes, plus a big coat, and they acted naturally and heroically, as if they were not in the ice and snow, but in the capital, and were not affected by the bad weather around them. made her really envious and admired.

Xiao Changqi originally prepared a carriage for her, and there was a stove in the car, as well as a soft couch, which was very warm. However, she refused, for the sake of the so-called face...... Although she is a daughter, she is no worse than their men, they can ride horses, and she can ride too! This idea of brain pumping was rejected.

But this hard support that bites the back tooth socket is not without gains. At least his entourage is very respectful to her.

"Leopard City ahead, take a two-day break for the time being." Xiao Changqi rode to her side and said.

Ye Qingyan gave him a look - you are the head, naturally you have the final say.

Xiao Changqi smiled lightly, "Leopard City is the southernmost city in Jizhou. If you enter Leopard City, you will be counted as Jizhou. ”

Ye Qingyan still didn't speak, just glanced at him - so what?

"In Leopard City, I have some things to deal with." Xiao Changqi looked up at the sky, "And the weather is not very good, it is likely to snow later, and I will leave after this bustle." ”

Ye Qingyan also looked at the sky, it was indeed cloudy and the light was also very gray.

He nodded his head in agreement and passed the snowstorm. In fact, even if she doesn't agree, it's useless, this guy is very domineering. To talk to you is just to talk to you, and I don't really want to ask for your opinion.

Leopard City, with its tall gates made of black iron, stood several guards wearing fur hats and thick cotton jackets on the mottled walls.

In the distance, one of the city guards saw a group of horsemen on horseback coming towards the city gate, and said to the others, "A few men have come on horseback from the south." ”

"Horseback riding?" Another city guard also looked over, and said, "Really, I don't even have the money to drink hot tea today, I'll go down and take a look." ”

"Wait, this pedestrian looks unusual, don't make trouble for yourself."

"Not ordinary?"

"Look at the horse in the middle, it's not an ordinary horse."

"It's true, it's a white jade lion, worth 10,000 gold! Definitely a good horse, no problem traveling thousands of miles a day. ”

"Do you still know the White Jade Lion?"

"His grandfather was a horse dealer and had seen some horses."

"In this case, these people have to be cautious, let's go down and have a look."

"Just look at the horses."

Several city guards descended the city wall and waited for Xiao Changqi and his party at the city gate.

And the white jade lion that several city guards said was the horse that Ye Qingyan was riding. Although Xiao Changqi and the others rode a good horse that traveled 800 miles a day, it was still worse than what she ridden. It's not that Xiao Changqi doesn't have other famous horses, it's that I'm afraid it's too eye-catching. It's all thousands of miles of famous horses, and wherever they pass, they will definitely be rumored. Originally, it was better to sneak back to Jizhou, so it was better to keep a low profile.

As they crossed the city gates, several city guards blocked their way.

"Who?" One of them asked.

Xiao Changqi stepped forward and took out a bronze token to show the city guards, "We are from the Jade Prince's Mansion. ”

Fiefs that are generally given to princes, although still nominally under the jurisdiction of the imperial court, are in fact ruled by their new owner, the prince. At present, Jizhou has been given to Prince Yu, and naturally Prince Yu is the real ruler and the real master of the place. Now that the people from the master's family are here, these city guards immediately opened the city gate respectfully and invited Xiao Changqi and Ye Qingyan to enter the city. As for what the name is and what you are doing in Leopard City, you can't even think about it, let alone ask questions, check it, and ask for a few dollars for tea by the way.

All the way into Leopard City was very smooth.

Finally, he stopped at the door of a large mansion.

Ye Qingyan looked at this big mansion, the vermilion bright gate, this is the official mansion.

Xiao Changqi dismounted first, then walked to Ye Qingyan's horse, stretched out his long arm and picked her off the horse, "This is the mansion of the Leopard City Zhizhou before, after I replaced him, this mansion will be kept for my own use." ”

Ye Qingyan let him carry herself off the horse, but she was so cold that she couldn't move, and both legs were numb and didn't feel anything. Xiao Changqi wanted to let her go by herself, but she hugged his neck, suggesting that he should not let go, because she would probably not be able to walk.

Xiao Changqi frowned, Ye Qingyan hadn't been like this before, "What's wrong?" ”

"Probably...... It's frozen! Ye Qingyan said with a shiver in his teeth.

"Didn't you protect your body with your internal strength?" Xiao Changqi frowned.

Ye Qingyan was a little embarrassed and said, "I'll ...... That, the internal force is mainly protected in the abdomen, and the legs are not in charge. ”

"Why didn't you say it sooner." Xiao Changqi's face immediately darkened, carried her into the gate, and hurriedly walked to the inner courtyard, instructing the people in the house to prepare ginger soup and hot water for bathing and send it to the main courtyard as he went.

Ye Qingyan looked at his somewhat frightening face, and felt a little moved in his heart.

pulled down the mink scarf that protected his face, revealing a well-protected delicate face, and smiled softly: "It's okay, just slow down." ”

Xiao Changqi's hand holding her leg pinched her fiercely, and when he saw that she didn't react, he frowned, "What kind of thing is this?" ”

She has always been afraid of pain, and his strength was not small at that moment, but it did not cause her reaction, which shows that she was not lightly frozen......

He said to his entourage, "Ding, you go get the snow, quickly!" ”

"Yes, sir." Ding hurried away.

Ye Qingyan didn't understand, "Why are you making snow?" ”

"You'll find out in a moment." Xiao Changqi really wanted to clean her up fiercely, and give him a strong hand along the way, and he had to do anything if he wasn't allowed to do anything. Prepared a carriage for her, I want to ride a horse, just travel 300 miles a day, I have to go 500 miles, although the time to return to Jizhou is much faster, but if the price is her health, he would rather not come back.

After a while, Ding came back with a large basin of snow.

The white snow, just looking at Ye Qingyan shuddered, "Take it out, take it out, it's all in the house, don't see it again in the palace." ”。

Xiao Changqi put her next to the charcoal stove and took off her clothes without saying anything......
