At this time, the outpost who ran out of the barracks returned, and the sentry found the legendary Cannes, the octagonal iron tower in the middle of the valley, and found the last trace of the ugly servants there.

The empress sent a small group of orderlies to Cannes to explore the secrets of the underground empty nest, and she and Youyoule went to the second camp, everything was ready, and the armored convoy drove along the intermittent Shanglan Ancient Road towards the Great Plains.

The second camp is built on the leeward slope of the dry river plain, the battalion is connected with iron cables, the front of the camp is a depression, and the camp is a cliff behind the camp, standing on the cliff in the past, you can see the rolling snow dust and ice stones flying down from the dry river ice valley, but in recent years, the dry river ice valley has dried up, it is difficult to feel the kind of grand occasion in the past, but now the cold wind and cold current in the dry river ice valley is still strong, so the camp does not dare to set up on the windward slope, otherwise it has to be blown away.

You Youle sat in the car, followed the vanguard to the vicinity of the dry river ice valley, the snow and dust in front of it overflowed from the high ground around the dry river ice valley like a fog, everyone changed into a thick jacket and fleece jacket to protect against cold and frost, and when they were in the Great Plains, they still felt some hot wind blowing on their faces, and when they came here, the cold air soaked into the carriage with wet cold, and the frozen people's bones were crispy.

However, fortunately, they were not attacked by the strange bird Thunder Eye along the way, although this bird is fierce by nature, but it is not easy to get close to prey when it sees armored convoys all the way, and most of them like to prey on some animals that move slowly and have low defense.

Entered the camp in the middle tent, the stove was lit in the tent, which made people a little warmer, the carpet in the camp tent was very soft, You Youle saw a few blankets behind the screen wall of the camp, took a few wrapped around his body, curled up and sat behind the screen wall, behind the screen wall is also a small room, the layout is warm and exquisite, this should be where Chu Jingxiang lives.

You Youle rubbed his hands and face, warmed up for a while, remembered Qiu Raccoon Ji and them, and said in his heart: I don't know what Sister Raccoon Dog is doing at this time? It shouldn't have gone far from the small temple, most of the elites of the emperor have been withdrawn, and only a small part of the defenders remain, if Qiu Xiangji and the remnants of the temple find a way, they will definitely be able to get out of there.

Youyoule also has a heart, when he was in the expedition camp, Youyoule saw a small errand from the arsenal to deliver documents, Youyoule asked the little errand to do him a favor, and handed over a letter he wrote to Shi Jizen in the arsenal, Youyoule hoped that Shi Jizen could find a way to contact Qiu Jiji and them after seeing the letter, and help them leave.

Someone suddenly walked in the big tent, his footsteps were sparse, and he made a very soft sound when he stepped on the carpet, which sounded like a woman's footsteps, three steps and two steps, and a person came out from behind the screen wall, it was the empress Chu Jingxiang.

Chu Jingxiang was wearing a silver-gray silk cotton gown, a five-colored phoenix tail robe, and a little fine snow dust fell on her shoulders, she walked from behind the screen, and said with a smile: "Why don't you go to my bed and sit?" How cold it is down there. ”

"It's also soft on the carpet, so I'll just do it underneath." ”

Chu Jingxiang was a little resentful, and said faintly: "How much you don't want to be with me, look at your stubborn temper, it's really on par with me." ”

As soon as Chu Jingxiang raised her hand, a square platform rose on the open ground next to the bed, and the square platform gradually changed into the shape of a furnace under the control of Chu Jingxiang's fingers, Chu Jingxiang covered her palm on the top of the stove, and a bright yellow red flame metal ball appeared in the center of her palm, and the flame in the furnace rose up, and the surrounding was baked warm.

Youyoule was a little surprised, he was surprised not that Chu Jingxiang could make such a delicate furnace out of thorn metal, but that the metal that could burn like charcoal, which Youyoule had never seen before.

Youyu asked, "Is that fireball also a thorn?" ”

Chu Jingxiang said: "It is a kind of metal, when I was studying thorn metal, I accidentally discovered it, it is called Yang metal, which is a metal with fire attributes. ”

Youyoule exclaimed, "You have the ability to control the thorn metal, and now you have created the thorn metal, isn't that very powerful?" ”

Chu Jingxiang said with a smile: "Fool, you haven't found out yet, although I can control the thorns at will, so that they can become various objects with the concretization of my consciousness, but I can't make them out of thin air, which means that I am the safest in the emperor, because the entire emperor is built with thorn metal." ”

You Youle suddenly realized, and at the same time, there was something wrong in her heart, you must know that Chu Jingxiang can tell her weaknesses, she must regard herself as the closest person, but she has always been wary of her.

Youyoule said from the bottom of his heart: Maybe this woman is not what I imagined, maybe I should try to contact her, but what about my Wen Xiao, what about my Wen Xiao, there is an ancient legend that can resurrect her, that is, the lost emperor, but where can I find these emperors scattered all over the world?

Chu Jingxiang saw that Youyou Le was in a daze again, and asked, "What's wrong with you, what are you thinking?" ”

Youyou suddenly came back to his senses and said with a smile: "I didn't think about anything, I said how did Dilu New City be built so quickly, so it is!" ”

Chu Jingxiang pulled up Youyoule and said, "What are you smiling, I know that you are restricted everywhere by my side these days, and I am also aggrieved in my heart, go, I'll take you out to have a look." ”

Youyoule was a little shy, but he was embarrassed to refuse Chu Jingxiang's kindness, and said, "You are the empress, and you have official business, how can you accompany me out for a walk." ”

Chu Jingxiang pulled You Youle out and said, "Little fool, I came here to accompany you to relax, let's go." ”

Taking advantage of the fact that they didn't see it outside the camp, the two stepped on the snow squeaky and walked out of the defense line of the camp and went to the cliff behind the camp.

Chu Jingxiang turned her head in the wind and snow, her hair was mixed with snowflakes, and her white and red little face was slightly hot, and said: "Didn't you say it before, when there is no one, you call me Chu Jingxiang, don't call me the empress." ”

Youyoule faced the wind, ran in the shadow of Chu Jingxiang, followed the appearance of those ministers, and frolicked: "Okay, the empress, the empress is wise and martial, everything is right." ”

Chu Jingxiang said: "You are obviously laughing at me, look at how I clean you up!" ”

Chu Jingxiang held a handful of snow and splashed it on Youyoule, the two of them ran and chased me, and came to the edge of the cliff, looking at the cold air and flying snow dust in the dry river ice valley, Chu Jingxiang said: "Okay, don't make trouble, look at how spectacular this scene is at your feet!" ”

There are thousands of peaks in the dry river ice valley, the sharp mountains seem to be the same as the Qingfeng sword, the snow and dust fall on these ice picks, the white and vast piece of silver is wrapped in plain silver, and suddenly it is cut off by the wind knife, and the ice picks reveal a transparent texture.
