After Li Yuheng led three hundred Jingwei into the snowfield glacier, he shivered with coldness.
The anthracite coals in the carriage were burning, and there were ten layers of quilts alone.
After arriving at the blockade in front of the snow mountain, they were immediately surrounded by the Snow Country garrison stationed there.
Not long after, they transferred hundreds more people.
Li Yuheng was startled and got out of the carriage wrapped in thick red fox fur.
He endured the cold, raised his head and turned his back to the soldiers of the Snow Country, and said: "I am Li Yuheng, the eldest prince of the Beidi Kingdom. I am sent to the Snow Country as an envoy on the emperor's order to ask for an audience with the Snow Country's monarch."
The Snow Country defenders did not relax their vigilance because of Li Yuheng's words. They glanced at the two carts of things being dragged behind the convoy, and then shouted: "People from outside the country need to bring generous gifts when they ask to see the king. You guys brought some in the car." what?"
Li Yuheng's frozen face couldn't make any other expression at the moment, otherwise he would scold these barbarians for not knowing the rules. How could they block people at the border and ask for gifts.
But he looked at the strong soldiers of the Snow Kingdom who were facing each other with spears and might rush up to tear them apart at any time. He finally compromised, "The two cars behind are gifts from our emperor of the Beidi Kingdom to the monarch of the Snow Country."
The leading general was arrogant and did not pay attention to Li Yuheng at all. He led the two people to the carriage behind.
They showed no grace at all. In front of Li Yuheng and the three hundred fine guards he brought, they opened the things on the carriage and inspected them.
After reading everything, he nodded pretendingly, waved to his subordinates, and then walked to Li Yuheng's carriage, "Come down and take your people in, but we have to send someone to report to the king first. Whether or not you can have an audience depends on the king’s will.”
The corners of Li Yuheng's mouth twitched. He didn't know whether he was cold or angry. These Snow Country people were not only tall, but also vulgar.
There was no courtesy or grace at all. Before he even met the Snow Country Monarch, the gifts had already been taken away by these people.
Could it be that when we really meet, I have to send him off again?
After being released, Li Yuheng led people through the snowy road in the middle of the snow-capped mountains.
Just halfway through, the ground seemed to be shaking. The leading Snow Country general looked up and immediately shouted: "Avalanche, run quickly, speed up."
Then Li Yuheng noticed that the Snow Country soldiers who had surrounded them seemed to have a fire behind them, so he threw them away and ran forward as hard as he could.
Li Yuheng and the three hundred Jingwei he brought were a little at a loss, but they felt the shaking on the ground becoming more and more obvious.
Looking in the direction where the Snow Kingdom general looked up just now, Li Yuheng's eyes widened and he immediately shouted: "Hurry up and follow them, the earth dragon has turned over."
Jingwei, who was driving the carriage, immediately tightened the reins and ran forward quickly to catch up with the fleeing Snow Country soldiers.
Just as they were about to cross the snow-capped mountains, a huge snow block from the roof of the car hit Li Yuheng's carriage.
A big hole was instantly smashed into the roof of the car, and Li Yuheng was buried in the snow. He was so cold that he almost fainted.
The Snow Country defenders who ran out early saw that these people were quite fast, although they looked a little embarrassed at the moment.
"General Qiba, these people encountered an avalanche as soon as they entered the forbidden area. Could it be that the gods are angry and dissatisfied with us for bringing people in?" A soldier stood next to the Snow Country general and said loudly.
For a moment, everyone's eyes were focused on Li Yuheng and the three hundred Jingwei.
Their expressions were clearly dissatisfied.
Li Yuheng, who had just been pulled out of the carriage, almost got angry to death when he heard this.
He almost lost his life, and these people said that the gods were angry and dissatisfied with them.
There are snow-capped mountains all around, and each one is so high. Isn’t it normal for them to roll down a little bit if there is any movement?
However, the general named Qiba didn't think so. He felt that his subordinates were right. People from outside must have entered their Snow Country territory rashly, and the gods were unhappy.
So his attitude towards Li Yuheng and the others became even worse.
First, they were thrown into the simplest house with few furniture and furnishings.
The most important thing is that it does not keep warm and cold at all.
The main reason is that people in the Snow Country are not very afraid of the cold, and the house that those people arranged for Li Yuheng was the worst.
Fortunately, when Li Yuheng and the others came out of Yuebei City, in addition to two carts of gifts for the monarch of the Snow Country, they also brought a lot of anthracite.
Otherwise, I'm afraid I won't be able to survive the Snow King's summons and will freeze to death here.
A letter was sent to Guse City from the border of Snow Country.
When Mu Mingqian led people back to Nancheng, he was a little shocked by the scene in front of him.
When we left, neither the city walls nor the interior of the city had been completed.
Looking back now, this spacious, smooth and smooth road is several times better than the bluestone brick road on Capital Street.
And there seemed to be a lot more people.
Lu Qi, who was setting up defense on the city wall, ran down quickly when he saw someone coming back.
He looked at Mu Mingqian, who had frostbite on his face, ears, and hands, and the soldiers he sent out. They were quite good-looking at first, but now they were downgraded by several levels and became a lot uglier.
When Mu Mingqian returned to the inn, Fei Yi was standing in the hall talking to Wen Jinhe about transporting gunpowder to Shuonan City.
When he saw Mu Mingqian, who was disheveled and flushed, he almost didn't recognize him. "Master Mu, those who don't know better would think that you have been hungry for a year or two and came back from the famine."
Mu Mingqian curled his lips and didn't want to talk to him, "It's too obvious that we stand with the Snow Country people. During this time, we have been hiding here and there. We are saving food, but we must not lose weight."
Winter is supposed to be the time to gain weight, but instead of gaining weight, he lost more than ten kilograms.
Wen Jinhe saw the frostbite on his hands and face and said, "I'll go to Dr. Zhou to see if the frostbite can be cured so that it won't happen again next year."
Mu Mingqian nodded. He didn't want to suffer for the rest of his life. "Princess, this is the situation in the Snow Kingdom. In addition to the road map, there are also some troop deployments. However, these are our rough estimates, and there may be some differences from the actual situation. This It’s information about Guse City and Huodu, these two places we have investigated in the most detail.”
Wen Jinhe saw Mu Mingqian hand over a thick stack of documents. He flipped through a few pages and found that the handwriting was a little different. It was probably recorded by the elite soldiers accompanying him.
"Have you found out the identities of Usakana, Usaqi and Usano?" Wen Jinhe raised her eyes and looked at him.
Mu Mingqian nodded solemnly, "Princess, you would never have imagined that Usakana is actually the crown prince of the Snow Country. I don't know the identities of the other two. They should be officials of the Snow Country's court."
There is a heavenly temple in Guse City. In addition to enshrining the heavenly gods believed in by the Snow Kingdom, there are also portraits of the current king and prince of the Snow Kingdom.
The intention was to ask the gods to bless them both. This was also the custom of the Snow Country, so Mu Mingqian could easily know the identity of Usakana.
