Chapter 170: Slipping Out of the City Gate

In the evening, Yuxi returned to the room after dinner.

At dusk, the setting sun was like blood, and the golden light spilled into the room, and Yuxi stood in front of the window, thinking that Riich's old wound had not yet healed, and she couldn't help but feel numb.

She knew that to heal Ruiqi's old wounds, only the thousand-year-old Tianshan Snow Lotus had a miraculous effect, but the Tianshan Mountains were dangerous, and there was ice and snow everywhere, and the ice was to the bone.

Ordinary people can't stand the biting cold and avoid it, let alone want to pick a thousand-year-old snow lotus on the top of a snowy mountain, and even ordinary snow lotus is extremely precious as long as it can be picked.

It is too difficult to pick a thousand-year-old snow lotus, and Yuxi can't imagine such a difficult thing, but if there is no thousand-year-old snow lotus, what should Ruiqi's fatal injury do?

Yuxi is extremely conflicted and in a dilemma. On one side is her lover, and on the other side is the unattainable snowy peak.

But what if Riich is in danger? Maybe she will lose Riich, wouldn't that be against her wishes? Yuxi's heart is in turmoil.

No! It can't be like this! No matter how difficult it is to climb the top of the snow peak, I will also pick a thousand-year-old snow lotus to heal Riich's wounds, and no matter what, I will take a risk.

That's it, I'll leave tonight. Without telling Ruiqi, a person secretly left the main city and went straight to the Tianshan Mountains.

Yuxi knew that if she confessed to Ruiqi and her father that she was going to pick a thousand-year-old snow lotus, there was no doubt that her father and Ruiqi would stop her at all costs.

Because in their eyes, that's not something that a delicate girl like Yuxi can do, because it's too dangerous, even ordinary men climb snowy mountains, let alone a cute girl like Yuxi.

Yuxi knows the danger of this incident, but her strong feelings make her desperate for life and death, even if the glacier is close at hand, as long as the snow lotus is still open, she will climb to the top of the snowy mountain desperately.

Yuxi clenched her little fists and made up her mind that she was going to pick the thousand-year-old Tianshan Snow Lotus tonight!

She learned from the local population that there is not a very long distance to go to the Tianshan Mountains, as long as you start from the main city and travel north, if the horse is fast enough, you can generally reach the foot of the Tianshan Mountains in two or three days.

Yuxi found the right direction and understood that it was not impossible to go to the Tianshan Mountain, it turned out that the Tianshan Mountain was not far from here, and if he rode on Ruiqi's black lightning, it would be his thousand-mile horse, and it might not take three days.

The horse is there, when Yuxi came, she saw Riich's black lightning and stayed in the yard, fortunately, Black Lightning still knew Yuxi, when she leaned next to Black Lightning, Yuxi stretched out her hand to stroke the bridge of its nose, and the horse looked very docile.

This time, Yuxi doesn't have to worry about whether the horse knows herself, of course, she plans to ride the black lightning to the Tianshan Mountains, if she picks up the thousand-year-old snow lotus, Ruiqi should not blame her for secretly riding her own thousand miles of horse.

But what else do you need? Yuxi hesitated for a long time, and suddenly thought that the top of the snow peak of the Tianshan Mountains should be bone-chilling and snow-capped, and it might be very cold, so could she bear it? Needless to say, this biting cold might freeze her into a popsicle.

Unless she has a garment that can resist the cold.

By the way, my father's fire fox fur coat, the fox fur coat that Pang Hu once gave to my father as a meeting gift.

When his father left, in order to resist the cold of the Western Regions, he brought a fire fox fur and put it in the next room, which was the empty room used by Yuxi and his father to store things, and it was usually only used to put things, and it was not locked.

This time there is a way, the horses and cold clothes are ready, everything is ready and only the east wind is owed. In order to defend herself, Yuxi specially prepared a sharp long knife and short sword to defend herself in case of robbers and hungry wolves on the mountain.

Then you also need to prepare some dry food and water.

Yuxi took advantage of the fact that others were not paying attention, so she came to the kitchen and found some steamed buns and prepared beef jerky.

These beef jerky are made by the local people from dried and steamed yak meat, and they generally do not need to be cooked to be eaten.

These local specialties such as dried meat were bought by my father's soldiers from the homes of people along the way, in case of war.

Yuxi took out a bag and filled it with some dry food and jerky, which was stuffed to the brim and looked a little heavy, but in order not to starve along the way, these were also things that had to be prepared.

After taking water and dry food, Yuxi decided to set off secretly after it got dark and headed north.

She carried a compass with her to guide her way.

Yuxi entered the room and released Brother Frog from the bag.

"Brother Frog, wake up, we're going to Tianshan, are you going!" Yuxi woke up Brother Frog, and Brother Frog looked at Yuxi with a pair of big eyes and didn't speak for a long time.

"What, Yuxi, are you going to Tianshan? What are you going to do in Tianshan?"

Brother Frog was puzzled and confused, not understanding what Yuxi meant by these words.

"I went to the Tianshan Mountains to pick a thousand-year-old snow lotus to detoxify Riich, if there was no snow lotus to heal the wound, Riich might have suffered an attack and died. ”

Yuxi said these words sadly, but she hoped that Brother Frog would understand her feelings.

"It turned out that the snow lotus was picked to detoxify Riich, so do you know how to go to Tianshan?"

Brother Frog somewhat understood, and most of the sleep that he hadn't woken up before he woke up, it turned out that Yuxi wanted him to help go to Tianshan Mountain to pick snow lotus, but it seems that this matter is a little dangerous.

"I've asked the locals about it, and I've been heading north to get to the Tien Shan Mountains in two or three days, but it's not that far, and I'll be there in less than two days if I ride the black lightning of Riich, and I've prepared clothes and dry food for the road. ”

Yuxi is full of confidence, as if it is not a very difficult thing to go to the Tianshan Mountains to pick snow lotus, as long as she is confident, she can achieve her wishes.

"Do you have to let me go with you? Yuxi, do you know how dangerous it is to go to the top of the snowy mountain, have you thought about it?"

Brother Frog was a little hesitant, going to the top of the snowy mountain to pick snow lotus flowers is not something that can be done, because there are still many dangers on the mountain that Yuxi can't imagine.

For example, the wind and snow in the sky and the hungry wolf hidden in the shadows, etc., those are things that Yuxi has not expected or has not seen yet, how can she, a girl who has never been far away, be able to resist.

Brother Frog is very worried about Yuxi's net worth, although he can already transform into a human, maybe he can turn into a human to help her block the danger when Yuxi needs help, but in the vast snowy mountains, those hidden dangers are not what the two of them can predict.

"Brother frog, don't you want to help me? I need your help now, I'm still a little worried. ”

Yuxi was a little disappointed, because Brother Frog hesitated, and he was worried that he would encounter danger when he went to Tianshan.

"Yuxi, alas, you know that it is very dangerous to go to the Tianshan Mountains alone, but do you really need Snow Lotus so much to help Ruiqi heal her wounds?"

Brother Frog was a little embarrassed, not only was he worried that Yuxi would encounter danger, was it so easy to climb the top of the snowy mountain, but also it was difficult to predict whether he could come back when he went.

"But Riich's injury can only be cured by the thousand-year-old snow lotus, otherwise I wouldn't have come up with such an idea?"

Yuxi muttered to herself, she knew that it was a little difficult to ask Brother Frog to go with her to pick snow lotus, but she was a little scared to go alone.

But she has no one to turn to, and only Brother Frog has certain skills around her, and can even help her on the road, what other way is there to do?

Brother Frog swallowed a mouthful of saliva, raised his eyes to see Yuxi's sad expression, and knew that she was disappointed. But Brother Frog understands that Yuxi is deeply in love with Riich, and Riich is in trouble, and she can't ignore it.

Of course, Yuxi knows that the thousand-year-old snow lotus can be used to save Riqi, so naturally she will not let go of this glimmer of hope, although it is a little difficult to go to the top of the snow peak, but as long as you can pick the thousand-year-old snow lotus Yuxi will be desperate.

Brother Frog understands that Yuxi's love is deep and intense, and she can do everything for Riich, even if it is dangerous, she will ignore it.

Brother Frog thought of this, a little ashamed, he didn't expect that after the little white snake was reborn as a human, he would have such a strong love, and he deserved to be a heroine among women.

Brother Frog froze, looked straight at Yuxi, and said in a firm tone: "Okay, Yuxi, I have served you, I will go with you to Tianshan Mountain to pick snow lotus!"

Yuxi turned her worries into joy, and smiled: "Brother frog, don't you regret it? ”

Brother Frog smiled heartily: "Yuxi, you are not afraid of a girl, what is my manly husband afraid of? I don't regret it, even if there is danger, I am not afraid!"

"Alright then, let's settle it, let's go after dark!"

Yuxi picked up Brother Frog with both hands, and Brother Frog looked at Yuxi's cheeks and puffed out.

Yuxi and Brother Frog discussed everything, and then waited for the sky to darken and set off at the right time.

She and Brother Frog had a full meal, filled their stomachs, and went all the way north.

Walking at night, although very dangerous, will not disturb the pedestrians on the road, of course, they must avoid the soldiers of the Capricorn country in front, otherwise there will be unexpected dangers.

Yuxi decided to take a detour to avoid the dangers on the road, and if she didn't run into those wolf-like soldiers, there would be a lot less danger.

Moreover, she is a single woman on the road, so she is naturally worried that it will cause some unnecessary trouble.

Therefore, Yuxi decided to take advantage of the darkness and set off all the way north, so as to avoid the dangers that might be invited, and when she reached the Tianshan Mountains, she would be safe.

As night fell, Yuxi put on thick clothes, took Brother Frog, put on her bags, sneaked to the next room, pushed open the door, and took advantage of the light leaking into the house to find the fire fox fur in the big wooden box, and then wrapped it in a piece of homespun cloth and tied it tightly on her back.

Yuxi slipped out the door and found Black Lightning in the stable across the wall.

Black lightning was standing on the edge of the stone trough eating hay, and saw Yuxi walking to his side, staring at the big bright eyes and snorting gently.

Yuxi slipped out of the courtyard with black lightning, there were no pedestrians on the road, and there was no sound outside.

Then she rode a thousand-mile horse and went straight to the back door of the main city.

Not long after, Yuxi arrived in front of the city gate, and the soldiers defending the city couldn't help but have some questions when they saw Yuxi riding a thousand miles of horse alone.

"Miss Murong, where are you going, are you going out of the city at this time?"

A soldier armed with a spear asked if he had seen Yuxi not long ago, so he knew her.

"Yes, General Murong asked me to go out of the city to deliver a letter, this is a token!"

Yuxi took out a token from her waist that her father had prepared for her earlier and showed it to the soldiers.

The soldier guarding the city stood solemnly as soon as he saw the tiger head token: "Okay, Miss Murong, I'll open the door." ”

As he spoke, he raised his hand and shouted, "Open the city gates!"

Immediately after that, the closed gate in front of him opened with a "bang", and Yuxi hurriedly rode out of the city gate and went straight into the distance.
