The snow was falling heavily, the weather was freezing cold, and a group of chariots and horses drove along the mountains from north to south.

"Huh-" A soft shout sounded from the mouth of the veteran at the front of the convoy, stopped the carriage and horses, stopped the team, and the veteran Su Zhong slapped his horse and rushed to a luxurious carriage, dismounted and saluted, and said: "Your Royal Highness Princess, it is almost evening, the snow is suddenly coming, and the sky is getting darker and darker, do we want to set up camp here?"

A snow-white jade hand lifted the curtain, and the delicate face looked out, it was Li Shu. Seeing the lead clouds hanging low, the snowflakes falling, and the ground covered with a thin layer of hoarfrost, obviously the snow has not fallen for a long time, the snow has not been deep, the sky is getting darker and darker, and the snowflakes are getting heavier and heavier. ”

As soon as the voice fell, the curtain of a quaint carriage in front of him was lifted from the inside, and Zhao Lai's beautiful face, which looked like a woman, poked out, followed by a slender body.

Although the weather was bitterly cold, his clothes were not heavy. Ordinary cotton silk, a thin layer, does not seem to feel cold. Stretching out his hand, he jumped from the wheel to the car, looked at the surrounding environment, walked in front of Su Chong, and said, "General Su's proposal is very good, although this place is in the mountains, the terrain is quite high. At the moment, the heavy snow does not seem to be able to stop anytime soon. I'll set up camp here for a few days, and when the snow stops, it's not too late to hurry. ”

"What Lord Zhao said is extremely true!" Su Chong bowed slightly, complimented Zhao Lai, turned around, and ordered his subordinates to set up tents, light fires to keep warm, and hundreds of officers and soldiers were busy in an orderly manner.

Li Shu also walked out of the car, followed by Wu Ma and Ping'er. All three have skills. The clothes on his body were not heavy, and he stood in front of Zhao Lai and made a slight salute. Li Shu said: "There is Master Lao Zhao along the way." She is not called "second brother", nor is she called "uncle", just like Zhao Shoucheng and his wife are not called "parents" in Zhao Mansion.

Zhao Lai had already adapted to it, smiled slightly, and said, "Her Royal Highness the princess is serious." He glanced at the carriage and said, "Third brother, he doesn't practice civil and martial arts, and now the weather is getting colder and colder." Can you still adapt?"

As if hearing his question, the curtain of the car was opened again, and Zhao Xuan appeared wrapped in a body like a zongzi. Wearing a brocade hat. Dressed in a mink fur suit, chubby like a panda, with two arms that could not be closed, he "flipped over" from the wheel with difficulty.

Li Shu glanced back at him. He smiled bitterly and said, "Lord Zhao doesn't have to worry. Taixuan wore all the best leather clothes, with three layers inside and outside, all of which were put on by Ping'er herself. Mo said that the current weather, no matter how cold it is, it can't freeze him. ”

Zhao Lai coughed dryly and smiled, at this time Zhao Xuan's dress was too "interesting", dressed like a panda, and walked over and swayed like a tumbler. This situation is nothing for ordinary people. But it is too incompatible with his status as a "horse master", which damages the royal majesty. No wonder Li Shu couldn't open her mouth. I can't call out "husband".

I saw Zhao Xuan staggering to the four of them, shaking his head and looking at the heavy snow around him with a "novelty", Ping'er stepped forward and hugged him and said, "Master Horse, it's cold outside, the tent hasn't been set up yet, you better go into the carriage and rest." As he spoke, he wanted to take Zhao Xuan's hand and walk back.

Zhao Lai stopped her and said, "Miss Ping'er, the third brother, he hasn't seen snow since he was a child, since he wears so much, let him take a look outside." You shouldn't be able to catch the cold. ”

Ping'er stopped and looked at Li Shu.

Li Shu thought for a while, nodded and said, "Just listen to Lord Zhao." There is poetry suppression in the capital, the temperature is suitable for a year, the four seasons are like spring, and even if we want to see the snow, we need to go outside the city to see. He rarely goes out of the house, and he has never seen such a snowy scene before, so it is good to look outside. ”

"Yes!" Ping'er bowed, no longer pulling Zhao Xuan back, just standing beside Zhao Xuan and supporting him, so as not to wear too much and fall unsteadily.

Zhao Xuan smiled stupidly at everyone, it is indeed as Li Shu said, there seems to be some formation or poetry suppression in the capital, there is no extremely cold and hot weather in a year, but he has Xuanzhu space, and it is not the first time to see the snow scene.

At this time, they had been away from Beijing for a month or two, and they had traveled more than 3,000 miles, from late autumn to cold winter, hurrying during the day and resting at night, and walking less than one-third of the distance.

Because the Jin Dynasty had a vast area, some places were densely populated, and some places were vast and sparsely populated, so in addition to staying at the post station, they were also inevitably stationed in the deep mountains and wilderness.

Three days ago, they entered this mountain range, and they would have reached the next city in less than two days. But now it is snowing heavily, and if the mountain is blocked by heavy snow, I don't know how many days before I can set off.

Soon, darkness came, the tent was set up by the officers and soldiers, General Su came over and invited a few people to enter the account, and another officer and soldier set up the stove, unloaded the food of the army, and the imperial kitchen that came with him began to cook for Li Shu and others.

Of course, only Zhao Xuan, Li Shu, and Zhao Lai can eat the food cooked by the imperial kitchen, and Ping'er and Wu's mother are all leftovers. As for the other officers and soldiers, they either eat dry food or make their own.

The cold wind howled, and the snow became heavier and heavier.

After Zhao Xuan and the others had eaten, they each entered the camp tent. As before, Zhao Xuan, Li Shu, Ping'er, and Wu's mother lived together, and Zhao Lai lived next to them. On the periphery, it seems that Su Zhong, who has the highest cultivation, is one left and one right with Zhao Lai, protecting Zhao Xuan and Li Shu's tents in the middle. At the outermost point are the tents of a group of officers and soldiers, and there are dozens of them.

Night came, and darkness reigned between heaven and earth.

Countless torches lit from the tents, shining brightly, reflecting the snowflakes like goose feathers, illuminating the faces of the officers and soldiers of the night watch.

In the big tent in the center, Zhao Xuan had already "slept", and Li Shu, Ping'er, and Wu Ma gathered at the table, lit candles, and held a map to discuss the escape route.

"Mother Wu, Ping'er, look here......" Li Shu pointed to a certain place on the map and said softly: "This is the 'Fallen Dragon Mountain Range', which is only a few hundred miles away from us, and it is an important route to Qingzhou, which cannot be bypassed." This large mountain range is thousands of miles wide and winds for tens of thousands of miles, inaccessible and uninhabited, and if you want to get around, you may have to walk for several more months. Especially the 'Fallen Dragon Abyss' in the center of it, it is even more of a bird, but the beasts do not come, and there is no half a human figure. If you want to get rid of the officers and soldiers, this is the best place to hide. And when the royal brother sends someone to find it, the mountains here are undulating, and it is not so easy to find. What's more, since we have fled, we naturally won't wait for him in the same place!" Li Shu's eyes lit up, and she said to Ping'er and Wu's mother.

Ping'er held her fingers in her mouth, like a child, nodded her little head and said, "The princess is so smart, what the princess said!"

Mother Wu frowned, looked at the map, and said, "Princess, please think twice, although the 'Fallen Dragon Mountain Range' is sparsely populated, it is good at concealment. But there are probably demons there, and it's too dangerous. Moreover, did the princess know the origin of the 'Fallen Dragon Abyss'? It is said that it is extremely strange, anything flying above the sky will fall into the abyss, even the strong dragon clan will not escape the catastrophe, hence the name of this place. The dragon clan is known as the lord of the sky, turning clouds and rain, like child's play. In the primeval period, even the demons and barbarians had to avoid their edges. They are all folded there, and if we flee there, in case of danger or crisis, the old body may not be able to protect the princess!"

Li Shu waved her hand, not caring and said, "We don't go to the sky above the 'Fallen Dragon Abyss', even if we pass by there, there will be no danger." Moreover, the Fallen Dragon Abyss is the Fallen Dragon Abyss, and the Fallen Dragon Mountain Range is the Fallen Dragon Mountain Range, and the two are not the same. Although the Fallen Dragon Mountain Range is sparsely populated, there may be animals that become demons. But after all, it is within the Shenzhou Enchantment, even if there is some demonic energy, it can't become a climate. What danger can there be?"

Mother Wu wanted to persuade again, and suddenly Sasha's footsteps sounded behind her.

She turned around and saw Zhao Xuan wrapped in a quilt, shaking a tumbler and coming over.

When he got closer, he stopped beside Li Shu and tilted his head to look at the map on the table.

Because of the flickering candlelight, his sallow face looked a little cloudy.

He looked at the map, and there seemed to be a flash of light in his eyes, but because of the reflected candle flame, Li Shu, Ping'er, and Wu Ma didn't notice it.

Mother Wu frowned slightly, turned her head and said, "Ping'er, help Master Ma go back to rest." ”

"Yes!" Ping'er agreed.

Li Shu waved his hand and said, "Forget it, he can't understand it anyway, just watch it here if you want to see it." ”

Mother Wu sighed and said, "I'm sorry for the princess." ”

Li Shu shook her head expressionlessly, and said: "There is nothing to be embarrassed about, maybe this is the ...... of fate" After a long pause, he said: "But, I don't believe in fate!"

She said resolutely and resolutely to show her determination.

Wu's mother sighed again, knowing that it was useless to persuade again, so she fell silent for a while.

In the tent, there are only four breathing sounds alternately, light or heavy. No one paid attention, Zhao Xuan's gaze always stayed on the map, especially around the "Fallen Dragon Mountain Range"!

Li Shu wants to escape, why shouldn't he?

In the past two months, it is not the first time that Li Shu has discussed the escape route with Wu Ma and Ping'er, and every time Zhao Xuan is listening to it for reference. And Wu's mother and Ping'er are the same every time as this time, Li Shu proposed an escape route, Ping'er nodded and agreed without thinking, and Wu's mother analyzed all kinds of possibilities and dangers, and vetoed Li Shu's escape route.

Zhao Xuan didn't know anything about the topography of this world at first, but as the three of them discussed, they became more and more aware of this world.

It was the first time he had heard of the place "Fallen Dragon Abyss", he didn't expect that there was such a strange place in this world, and he didn't expect that there were not only two demon and barbarian clans in this world, but also a dragon clan.

It's just that I don't know that the dragons in this world are as different from the dragons in Chinese legends!

Zhao Xuan turned this thought in his heart, looked at the map again, and saw that the "Fallen Dragon Mountain Range" was not far from where they were now, and it was only a month away, and he couldn't help but turn a few thoughts in his heart:

Is it like Li Shu and the others, taking advantage of the complex terrain there to escape, or jumping into the "Fallen Dragon Abyss" to fake their death to get out of trouble?

Not......

It's okay to fake your death, but the "Fallen Dragon Abyss" ...... If what they said is true, they can't even get up if the dragon clan falls, and won't it become real death if they jump down and fake their death?

Just as Zhao Xuan was in the middle of his thoughts, there was suddenly a noise outside the tent.

Immediately after, several shouts rang out:

"Enemy attack, enemy attack!"

The flames are everywhere, and the hula figures are full of people. (To be continued......)
