The Yunping Plateau is bounded by a large glacial lake, with the north and south landforms are completely different, the south side is lush with vegetation and verdant, and the north side is a barren land, and it is covered with ice and snow all year round, and it is inaccessible.

The sky was getting dark, and a thick fog rose on the big glacial lake, blocking the scene of the south side of the glacial lake, and the cold wind blew across the lake, stirring the heavy fog on the lake from time to time, occasionally opening a corner of the mist, revealing some vague dull green of the south shore.

"Master Hou, it's windy again." A man's voice said.

"Ahem......"

"Master Hou, your wind disease has been committed again." The man said worriedly.

"It's out of the way, Qingquan, have they come back from the ice lake?" Lin Yixuan relieved his breath for a while and asked the man.

"No, since we escaped from the siege of those Longshan people and came here, we have been living on the fish in the lake for half a month, and these fish are not enough, so they have been fishing for longer and longer." The man forgot to glance at the misty lake and sighed.

"The lake is windy, foggy, gray and you can't see anything, the ice is slippery and there are ice caves, they will be very dangerous." Lin Yixuan's face faintly showed a sad color.

"Master Hou, don't worry, Qingquan and they will be fine." The man comforted, and then handed a bowl of hot soup by the stove at the entrance of the cave to Lin Yixuan, "You drink it while it's hot." ”

"Mingfeng, have the soldiers drunk?" Lin Yixuan glanced at him and asked.

"Also...... No. Ming Feng snorted.

"Then I won't drink it, and when they bring back the fish from Qingquan, and the soldiers have something to eat, I'll drink it again." Lin Yixuan's face was a little unhappy. "Master Hou, you've been hungry for a day, and you still have injuries on your body, and your body is very weak, so you can drink it, right?" Ming Feng persuaded with a little pleading.

"Don't persuade me, put it away." Lin Yixuan no longer looked at him, and turned his eyes to look at the ice lake outside the cave entrance.

"Master Hou, it's not good, Qingquan and they are missing in the ice lake." One person hurried in.

"Shuxiao, you call all the brothers to take ropes and long trees and go to the shores of the ice lake to look for them." Lin Yixuan commanded.

The wind on the ice was getting stronger, the whistling wind tingled the ears, and the lake was pitch black and nothing could be seen.

Qingquan used his sword to file the ice to stabilize his body, and a meter or two behind him was a large ice cave, and a powerful whirlwind blew them to the edge of this big ice cave just now.

"Wang Shi, don't move when you lie on the ice, and support yourself with your sword...... Li Shan, you grab my feet, and I'll pull you up. Qingquan said to the two people who were already halfway through their bodies and had slid towards the ice cave.

"It's too windy, I can't catch it." Li Shan tried to be depressed for a while.

"Hold yourself up with your sword." Qingquan Road.

"My sword...... Fell into the ice cave. The wind was too strong, and Li Shan struggled to lower the words in his mouth.

The ice couldn't stabilize his body, and after Li Shan finished speaking, his whole body slid towards the ice cave, making a crisp bang.

"Li Shan......" Qingquan shouted at the same time as the man struggling on the edge of the ice cave.

The icy water was biting, the bottom of the lake was unfathomable, and Li Shan struggled in pain in the water.

"Don't panic, everyone, stabilize yourself first, I'll save Li Shan." Qingquan said to everyone.

He looked around, there was no place around him to stabilize his body, so he slowly turned around, untied his robe, and threw his strength at Li Shan, who was splashing in the water, "Grab my clothes, I'll pull you up." ”

Li Shan reached Qingquan's clothes in a hurry, and finally reached the edge of the ice cave, but the ice was slippery, and Qingquan could only stabilize his body, and it was very difficult to lift a person.

The ice around the ice cave was thinner and brittler than the others, and Qingquan filed a crack on it, and a crack appeared on the ice.

Seeing this, Wang Shi exclaimed, "Qingquan, the ice is cracking!" ”

"Li Shan, grab hold of my robe, I'm going to pull you up." Qingquan shouted at Li Shan unhurriedly.

"But...... The ice is about to break, and we ...... It's going to be dead. Li Shan was so anxious that tears were about to flow out.

said that it was too late, Qingquan slapped the ice with one hand, his body jumped up, and with the other hand, he lifted Li Shan and threw it into the air, and at the same time that the ice was about to sink, his body left the same place, turned sideways, and landed on another piece of ice.

The tense hearts of the people finally settled down.

"Wang Shi, you climb up slowly." Qingquan said to Wang Shidao, who was still hovering on the edge of the ice cave.

Half an hour later, a dozen or so people finally got out of the ice cave and came to a relatively safe place.

The surface of the lake was pitch black, and I couldn't tell the direction, and the wind was a little lighter, but it was still a little difficult to walk.

"Qingquan, it's dark everywhere now, how are we going to find our way back?" Wang Shi asked worriedly.

Qingquan looked around, "We are looking for a place with fire, Hou Ye knows that we have not returned to the ice lake, and he will definitely send people to look around, and the person looking for us will carry torches, so go to a place where there is fire." ”

"Qingquan, I seem to see a fire." Someone excitedly said towards Qingquan.

"Yes, I saw it too, right there." Someone else pointed a finger.

Qingquan judged the location of the firelight, and faintly felt in his heart that the location of the firelight did not seem to be the direction to go back, but he felt that he was thinking too much, so he nodded after a while, "Since we have seen the firelight, let's go in that direction." ”

In the silence of the night, on a leeward hillside, the two sat around a bonfire on which fish was roasted, and it was when the fish was yellow on the outside and tender on the inside, emitting an enticing aroma.

"Qingfeng can't imagine that your fish grilling work is becoming more and more perfect." A slightly magnetic voice rang out.

"Brother Yu, you are blessed to be with me, before, when Gongzi was with me, he praised my fish for being delicious." Qingfeng had a confident smile on his face.

"It's really good, it's rare to eat outside, it seems that I'll have to mix with you often in the future." Zhu Rongyu's brilliant eyes shone on his face.

"Brother Yu, you mess with me, what should you do if you are a girl?" Qingfeng looked at him with a grin.

"Xi Ruo...... That's right, I'll learn how to grill fish with you, and grill it for my family. Zhu Rongyu looked at him with his eyes, and said seriously.

"I also said that I don't want her, but as soon as you mention her name, you are interested." Qingfeng said sarcastically with a smile.

"Really?" Zhu Rongyu seemed to realize it later, and then his expression darkened, "Don't mention her, we're not together anyway, I don't want to delay her." ”

"What the hell is going on between you?" Qingfeng looked at him, "Say it and I'll help you analyze it." ”

"It's nothing," Zhu Rongyu hesitated and paused, "You can't understand it." ”

"Say it, it will feel a little better." Qingfeng looked at him eagerly.

"You don't fall in love with someone, you don't understand the realm of loving someone, you want to give her the best in everything, if you can't promise her to take care of her for the rest of your life, don't be together, so as not to delay her." Zhu Rongyu was silent for a while.

"I'm not in love with ......" Qingfeng wanted to clarify for himself, but he gave up again when he thought of Qingyue staring at him.

After a pause, he looked at Zhu Rongyu inexplicably, "I don't understand...... Don't you both love each other, why should you part from her?

"When no one can guarantee that he will live to fulfill his promises, do you still have to love her?" Zhu Rongyu asked rhetorically.

"You mean to give her a future?" Qingfeng looked at him in surprise.

"Now the situation is so dangerous, Yan Yujun has the power to control Yandu, and there are hundreds of thousands of troops in his hands, our lives are in danger, maybe one day if we say no, it will be gone, rather than being scared with me, it is better to break it early, she can marry a good family in the future." Zhu Rongyu looked at the secluded tunnel of the ice lake in front of him.

"But this is just your one-sided idea, maybe my sister is willing to take the risk with you?" Qingfeng asked.

Being said by Qingfeng, Zhu Rongyu was stunned for a while, "Yes, I didn't consider her feelings." ”

"Brother Yu, you are smart but you are smart and mistaken, I believe that the pain of being abandoned by you in a daze is no less than the pain of being frightened because of you, maybe she would rather know the truth and share the risk with you." Qingfeng said to him seriously.

"Now that things have happened, there is no room for redemption, okay, let's not talk about her." Zhu Rongyu felt a trace of chagrin in his heart, he waved his hand to drive away this emotion, and continued, "Let's talk about our current situation, we have searched all over the area of the Jagged Valley, but we have not found any trace of Hou Ye, only the opposite shore of this lake, but unfortunately it was foggy in the evening, and it was dark, so I couldn't see the other side clearly." ”

"We have been here for three days, and we have searched all over this area, and there is no camp in Longshan, and only the other side of the ice lake has not been found, but there is no grass on the opposite side of this big ice lake, and it is covered with ice and snow all year round, and Hou Ye and his soldiers cannot survive." Qingfeng groaned and shook his head.

"Don't forget what we ate just now?" Zhu Rongyu looked at him and said.

"By the way, I forgot that there are still fish, and with the fish of this big glacial lake, they can still hold on for a while." Qingfeng suddenly realized, and his eyes burned with the brightness of hope.

"Well, when it's dawn tomorrow, we'll cross the lake." Zhu Rongyu said.

As the two were talking, there was a sudden sound of footsteps, and Qingfeng looked around vigilantly, muttering, "Could it be that Longshan's people have discovered us?" ”

"Let us put out the fire, lest they discover us." He continued.

"I feel that the sound seems to be coming from the lake, Longshan's soldiers should not appear on the lake......" Zhu Rongyu was thinking, and the sound of people talking on the lake came into his ears, so he stopped and listened attentively.

"Cold and hungry, I finally saw the fire in front of me."

"No, I almost won't come back."

"Hey, they seem to have put out the fire, aren't they ......?"

"By the way, I didn't touch the stake we were fishing for."

Listening to everyone's discussions, the doubts in Qingquan's heart further confirmed, and he made a shushing gesture, "Whisper, there is someone on the other side." ”

"Li Shan is almost freezing, no matter what, we must go ashore and find a place to hide, if it is their people, we will attack them first." Wang Shi said anxiously, at this time, he was carrying Li Shan, who had fallen into the ice cave and was frozen purple all over.

"Wang Shi is right, whether it is friend or foe, we have to break through, everyone is ready." Qingquan whispered.

Although they spoke quietly, it faintly reached the ears of Zhu Rongyu and Qingfeng, and the two found a hidden place to hide.
