After Gao married the prince, the sick and weak concubine lost her horse

Chapter 270 Chapter 270

The night was dark, the wind was violent and the snow was heavy.

Shen Qingci, who was driving the carriage, seemed to be immersed in an ice hole.

However, she did not dare to relax her vigilance at all.

Although there are some guesses about this road, seeing it with your own eyes is another matter.

After the fierce battle, the battlefield is full of corpses that have not been cleaned up in the future.

The bloody water on the ground had already condensed into ice and was covered with thick snow, but when one stepped on it, there were bloody footprints, which looked horrifying.

It doesn't stop there.

In the battle of Qiankuling, thousands of "miners" fled in all directions from the mountain, and some surviving stragglers of the defeated team brought out of the city by Sheng Tingjing also fled in all directions.

On the road from Qiankuling to Yunzhou City, refugees, deserters, people who were innocently involved and left their homes... can be seen everywhere.

It was even more difficult than Shen Qingci expected.

However, their trip went smoothly with Sheng Tingzhao's guards leading the way.

Seeing their formation, none of them dared to step forward.

All the way to the place where Sheng Tingye fell into the river.

The river is a branch of the Li River.

In the past few days, the weather has warmed up, and the ice layer on the river has thinned a little, but it is far from enough to allow crossing.

"Princess, right here."

Wang Yuanqing brought the person who came to report the letter to the carriage and pointed not far away.

Shen Qingci followed the sound and looked over.

The torches lit by Sheng Tingzhao's guards swayed in the cold wind, and the flames flickered.

But fortunately, you can see things on a snowy night.

Shen Qingci could easily see a big hole smashed into the river not far away.

Xueluo piled up in other places, but only in that place did it touch the icy water and disappear in an instant.

On the embankment, the traces of the fight had already been covered with snow.

Shen Qingci clenched the rein tightly, and said expressionlessly, "Go down and look for it."

As soon as this remark came out, there was a large group of breath-taking voices from all around.

Wang Yuanqing frowned and said: "Princess, in this weather where drops of water turn into ice, half of their lives will be killed."

Hearing this, Shen Qing resigned without replying: "I'm talking about everyone, including you."

Wang Yuanqing suffocated for breath, his eyes darkened, and he was about to speak, but saw Shen Qingci's wrist flick, and he was about to raise the reins.

"You don't have to go, I'll take your master down to find it myself!"

As she said that, without any hesitation, she snapped off the rein in her hand, causing the two horses to neigh suddenly.

She directly drove the carriage and rushed towards the river!

Seeing this, Wang Yuanqing was so frightened that his legs went limp.

In such a cold day, not to mention Sheng Tingzhao, they would lose half their lives going down, not to mention, Sheng Tingzhao is now in a coma due to poisoning.

Shen Qingci wanted the two brothers Sheng Tingzhao and Sheng Tingjing to be buried with Sheng Tingye!

For a moment, Wang Yuanqing even had the urge to rush up and cut off the reins to kill the woman.

But she didn't know if she had read his thoughts, she just turned her head at that moment.

With just that light glance, Wang Yuanqing saw indifference and determination in her eyes.

Her eyes were a bit colder than the biting ice in the river.

At the same time, she pulled out the dagger with her other free hand, and poked it straight into the carriage.

As long as he dared to act rashly, her dagger could cut through Sheng Tingzhao's throat.

Let's see who is one step faster!
How dare Wang Yuanqing act rashly.

"Princess Ning, spare me!"

Wang Yuanqing was the first to lose.

But just looking for Sheng Tingye's body, that's all.

He didn't believe that this woman could keep calm the moment she saw Sheng Tingye's body!
Thinking about it this way, Wang Yuanqing didn't dare to hesitate any longer. With a big wave of his hand, he directly led the guards under him to make dumplings, and jumped into the ice hole.

And Shen Qingci hurriedly stopped the carriage the moment he gave the order.

At this time, the carriage she was driving was less than ten feet away from the river.

Even Wang Baoqin in the carriage was covered in cold sweat from shock, but she was afraid of causing trouble to Shen Qingci, so she bit the corner of her lips firmly, so she didn't let out a cry of surprise.

At first, the hole in the ice was not big, but it was more than doubled in size after being stepped on by Wang Yuanqing and others.

They divided into two groups and alternately dived underwater to search.

For ordinary people, it would be difficult to survive just by falling in, but these people are all top masters with strong internal strength.

For them, it's just a little bit of suffering and coldness, but it won't kill them.

After tossing and tossing like this for an hour, all the guards, who were originally strong and energetic, shivered like frozen soaked chickens, and they didn't even have the strength to stand up.

Wang Yuanqing wrapped the cloak around her body tightly, and said cautiously: "Princess, can you allow the little ones to rest for a while, if this continues..."

Even if you don't freeze to death, you will die from exhaustion.

Of course, Shen Qingci also knew the reason not to push people into a hurry, what's more, she didn't expect them to really pick up Sheng Tingye when she tossed them so much.

"it is good."

"Half an hour."

The moment Shen Qingci responded, all the audience heaved a sigh of relief, but when they heard the second half of the sentence, the breath was almost vented in their hearts.

Soon someone trembling picked up dry wood and lit a fire.

A crowd of wet and trembling guards warmed up around the fire.

Surrounded by Wang Yuanqing, he was thinking about how to make Shen Qingci relax his vigilance, but when he raised his head, he met Shen Qingci's cold eyes.

She beckoned to him.

For some reason, that look made Wang Yuanqing almost weak-legged.

But there was no way, for the sake of Sheng Tingzhao in the carriage and the lives of his family, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and walk over.

"Princess Ning, what other orders do you have?"

Wang Yuanqing held his breath, and was thinking that instead of being led by this woman and tortured to death, he might as well take advantage of the opportunity that he was closest to her when he replied, and give it a go...

But before the idea was fully formed in his mind, Shen Qingci grabbed something out of the carriage and threw it at him.

Wang Yuanqing, who was almost hit on the head, subconsciously took it in his hand, only to find that it was the kettle his master always used.

Immediately afterwards, Shen Qingci threw another teacup.

Just before he was about to collapse, he heard Shen Qingci say: "Your master is waking up soon, I have half an antidote here, boil some hot water for him to take, and save him from dying in my car. "

As soon as he heard that Sheng Tingzhao was about to wake up, Wang Yuanqing immediately cheered up again.

He quickly grabbed the teapot and teacup and walked quickly towards the fire.

A group of guards quickly set up a teapot and boiled hot water.

Wang Yuanqing respectfully brought over the teacup filled with hot water.

Shen Qingci only let him stand three feet away: "Put it there, step back."

A group of guards who were almost frozen had already surrounded the remaining pot of hot water.

Normally, they wouldn't dare to touch Sheng Tingzhao's things rashly, but now it's different, life and death are at hand.

What's more, Sheng Tingzhao is unconscious at the moment and can't take care of it. In order to save Sheng Tingzhao, they have to live first.

Therefore, when Wang Yuanqing returned to the fire, everyone had already divided most of the pot of hot water and left him a mouthful.

He was cautious by nature, of course he would not casually touch things thrown by Shen Qingci.

But this pot originally belonged to Sheng Tingzhao, and after he brought it over, he carefully checked the inside and outside, and made sure that Shen Qingci hadn't tampered with it, so he dared to have someone boil the water and share the food.

After a mouthful of hot water poured into his lungs, Wang Yuanqing felt as if he had come back to life.

It's just that he always felt that something was wrong.
