Chapter 887

The road became slippery and muddy, the horse's hooves kept slipping, and the carriage was staggering.

As a last resort, Pei Xiaoran had no choice but to stop the crowd and camp in place to rest.

There is plenty of food in the car, but I am not afraid of being trapped here.

It's just that, seeing the capital city so close, but being trapped by this sudden heavy snow, it makes people feel a little anxious.

"How about we walk there? Anyway, it's not too far away.

After entering the city, how about buying a new carriage and horses and continuing on?

As for these things, after the weather clears, come back to pick them up, that's all. "

Some subordinates suggested this to Pei Xiaoran.

Pei Xiaoran naturally wanted to go to Beijing as soon as possible.

Because the sooner they see Emperor Chixuan, the safer they are.

Moreover, after so many days of fighting wits and courage with Zhu Lianxi, she also felt exhausted and wanted to end this journey as soon as possible.

but……

Looking up at the vast sky and the heavy snow that showed no signs of stopping, Pei Xiaoran hesitated again.

If they don't leave, they still have a place to keep warm and rest.

But once they start walking, if the snow falls too hard, they may not even have a place to keep warm.

If it is more serious, it may freeze to death in the boundless snow.

"Let's wait and see how the snow goes.

If you continue to leave, you will not be in a hurry for the time being. If you don’t leave, then you will walk into Beijing as you said. "

The subordinate wanted to say something more, but was pushed back by Pei Xiaoran's wave of his hand.

Now is the last moment.

But everything, towards the end, should be more cautious.

In this way, the thousands of efforts spent before will not be wasted.

The people stayed here temporarily.

As Pei Xiaoran expected, the snow really fell harder and harder.

When I got up the next day, I saw that it had already reached the ankle of the person, almost reaching the calf.

Now that he couldn't leave at all, Pei Xiaoran simply sent someone to cut some dead branches nearby and came back to make a fire for heating, cooking and boiling water.

Coincidentally, not only their group was trapped here, but other carriages nearby were also trapped by the heavy snow and could not move, so someone came over to ask for some food to satisfy their hunger.

Pei Xiaoran is not stingy, and will give some to anyone who asks for it.

After three or four days like this, seeing the food dwindling, Pei Xiaoran took his men to hunt nearby.

There are few prey in winter, and most animals sleep and rest in their dens, so it is difficult to find them.

But this is not difficult for Pei Xiaoran, who has sharper eyesight and hearing than ordinary people.

Not only did she bring back a lot of prey every time, but she also made a pair of leather muffs for her sister Han Chan from fox skins.

The nearby animals soon knew that an evil star was coming near their home, and they all started to run away.

Even, from a distance, when he smelled the smell coming from Pei Xiaoran, he was so scared that he ran away in panic, not even leaving his old nest.

Pei Xiaoran also found that there were fewer and fewer prey nearby.

But the snow stopped and fell, and the melted snow re-frozen, which made the road even more slippery and difficult to walk on.

As a last resort, she could only go a little further away and continue to hunt for food.

Fortunately, most of the nearby carriages were empty.

After many people asked Pei Xiaoran for food, they took the food and took advantage of the short time when there was no snow to walk back towards the capital again.

Without those who came to beg for it, Pei Xiaoran didn't have to hunt so many prey anymore.

However, she acted extremely cautiously this time, and planned to wait for the weather to clear up and the road to walk better before going on the road again.

After finally finding a lone wild boar in the withered grass, Pei Xiaoran quietly stalked it, planning to kill it with one blow.

However, wild boars are no better than domestic pigs. They are not only physically fit, but also very cunning and cunning. When they sensed danger, they spread their hooves and ran wildly all the way.

It is difficult to walk in the snow, but the feet of animals are different from humans, so they are not affected much. As a result, Pei Xiaoran, who has never been left behind by others, fell behind pigs. After chasing for a long time, he failed to catch up with the cunning and attractive animal wild boar.

"hateful!"

Pei Xiaoran's competitive spirit was aroused.

It's a pity that in order to hunt and kill prey, all the small arrows in her sleeve were used up, and the small arrows fell into the snow and were never found again.

If there is still a small arrow, then the wild boar must not have the opportunity to be so 'arrogant'.

Pei Xiaoran looked around, and soon found a stone that was the size of two or three palms, and was about to give the wild boar a 'long-range attack'.

Just as he was about to throw the stone after aiming, at this moment, he heard a faint scream from afar.

Immediately afterwards, the ear-piercing sound of the exchange of weapons rang out, which was blown away by the winter wind.

Pei Xiaoran staggered and almost fell to the ground.

She turned her head abruptly, only to realize that she had been far away from the camp before she knew it because she had been chasing wild boars with all her heart...

not good!

Pei Xiaoran turned pale instantly, turned around and ran towards the camp.

I was slipped by the ice several times on the road, and my whole body was in numb pain.

But she didn't seem to notice it, and continued to run forward like the wind.

And not long after Pei Xiaoran left, a slender and upright figure slowly walked out from behind a big tree with three people hugging each other.

He narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at the direction Pei Xiaoran was leaving, and sighed softly.

In this tone, there was a sense of relief that he had finally completed the task, but also a trace of helplessness that perhaps even he himself could not detect.

"Empress, if one day you learn the truth, I hope you don't blame me..."

The man murmured, his voice was like a dead leaf, and he was swept away by the strong wind in the blink of an eye without a trace.

It has to be said that Pei Xiaoran was the first and only person he met who could be called an 'opponent'.

Her alertness is more sensitive than that of animals, and her perception of danger often precedes the arrival of danger.

And he is very careful, whether it is food, clothing, or use, if there is something wrong, he will check it carefully, so that no one can take advantage of it.

With such prudence and vigilance, it is absolutely impossible to succeed.

As for the storm...

The general who once dominated the battlefield will be afraid of your strong attack?

It is not impossible to send more people to bully the few.

It's just... the Supreme Emperor is not dead yet!Such a big movement, would the old man not know?

Moreover, if he dared to send so many people to assassinate a majestic prince, his identity would definitely be exposed.

At that time, even if the Supreme Emperor does not know the truth about the string of Buddhist beads, he will not tolerate a person who kills his siblings.

Therefore, there must not be too many people.

There are few people... and they can't beat the opponent.

Therefore, it is only a matter of thinking about a strong attack.

However, being able to be Zhu Lianxi's most valued subordinate naturally has two brushes.
