Lin'an Never Night

Chapter 534 Hot spring water slippery
"go with!"

Yang Yuan carried some food on his back and slapped the horse on its butt.

Two horses pulled the sled and ran towards the vast snowfield.

This road leads to Dun'en City. Due to the rise of the trade route, many tribes along the way have moved to the roadside to settle down and open shops.

Therefore, these two ownerless horses may be discovered soon.

It was snowing, but the snow was not heavy, so the traces of the sled would not be erased so quickly.

And this road leads to Dun'en City. Shangguan Luo and his men have caught up with them, so there is no reason not to continue chasing them.

This is why Yang Yuan resolutely abandoned the sled.

"Mrs. Jin, the rendezvous point you set up is nearby, right?"

"I have set up six pick-up points along the way. One of them is nearby. Leave the main road and walk more than 20 miles to the other side. There is a small village right there."

Yang Yuan looked at the snowy road. The snow was particularly deep in the wilderness, and it was very dangerous to trek there at night.

"Okay, let's go up the mountain to take shelter first."

Yang Yuan took a look and made up his mind.

Mrs. Jin looked up at the mountain, raised her eyebrows, and asked, "Tangquan Mountain?"

Yang Yuan used a large branch to sweep the snow as he climbed up the mountain.

After the footprints were smoothed out and a thin layer of snow fell, there would be no traces left.

When he swept to the middle of the mountain, Yang Yuan threw the branch away.

There were no footprints at the foot of the mountain. If Shangguan Luo still ran to the middle of the mountain to look for traces under such circumstances, he would accept it.

After throwing the branch, Yang Yuan quickened his pace, but Mrs. Jin did not have as strong leg strength as him, and she was already panting and sweating profusely.

"excuse me!"

Yang Yuan apologized, then stepped forward and put his arms around Mrs. Jin's slender waist.

Mrs. Jin's body stiffened and her face turned red, but she said nothing.

Yang Yuan supported her all the way up the mountain, and she didn't even dare to breathe too heavily.

So when they reached the top of the mountain, after Yang Yuan let her go, Mrs. Jin sat down on the snow without caring about her image and began to pant heavily.

"Going up the mountain is like seeking death. Shangguan Luo is very smart. A smart person would not think that I would seek death."

Yang Yuan looked down the mountain, spoke proudly, then turned and walked back to Mrs. Jin.

Mrs. Jin took off her soft fox fur hat, wiped the sweat from her forehead, and panted:
"It's all my fault. My plan was flawed. I never thought that they could bypass the escapee, Master Yang, and block them from the front. This has put us in such a passive position."

Yang Yuan shook his head and said, "Shangguan Luo is the only weirdo. Others won't stick to one path until the end once they have made up their mind."

He looked at Mrs. Jin's forehead, which was covered with steam, and frowned, "You will easily catch a cold if you stay like this."

Yang Yuan wanted to put the hat back on her, but Madam Jin raised her hand and said with a wry smile, "Master, let me take my time first. It's really hot."

Yang Yuan looked at the hot spring not far away and said, "In that case, Madam, why don't you go take a bath in the hot spring and come out after the sweat has subsided."

Although soaking in the hot spring water is very hot, that kind of heat is different from being blown directly by cold wind when you are sweating like a pig.

Mrs. Jin hesitated for a moment, glanced at Yang Yuan quickly, and said hesitantly: "Now... now?"

Yang Yuan put aside the food he was carrying and said to Madam Jin, "You go ahead. I'll go ahead and keep an eye on the pursuers."

As Yang Yuan spoke, he walked out of the hot spring on the top of the mountain, found a sheltered spot under a protruding rock on the other side of the slope, and hid himself inside.

This was already the second day that they had been chased by Shangguan Luo and Shaniuer.

Because Yang Yuan was certain about the direction he was going to escape, and Shangguan Luo was also certain about the direction he was going to escape.

Therefore, even though the land was vast, it was not so easy for the two sides to be discovered while they were chasing and fleeing.

But every time after a break, Shangguan Luo and Shaniu'er would always catch up with them.

Yang Yuan waited quietly for a long time, and saw a group of knights coming from the foot of the mountain in the distance.

It was afternoon and the day was cloudy.

Yang Yuan shrank into a crevice in the rocks and stared at the mountain below.

The two knights dismounted, carefully checked the snow, and turned back to report:

"Sir, there is a sled heading towards Dunen City. Judging from the traces, it took at most an hour to get there."

Shaniu'er turned to Shangguan Luo and said, "As you said, Yang Yuan is going to Dun'en City."

Shangguan Luo looked around and found that only the direction towards Dun'en City had a repaired road, so the snowy road was relatively flat.

As for the fields, the snow was sometimes deep and sometimes shallow, making it extremely difficult to walk.

Shangguan Luo looked up at Tangquan Mountain again.

Yang Yuan immediately hid under the rock again, even avoiding her gaze, as if even from such a distance, their eyes could still meet.

Shangguan Luo took a deep look up the mountain, then turned his head to look at the snowy road with traces of sleds, smiled lightly, and said, "Let's go and chase them all the way.

If we don’t see anyone, we will go to Dun’en City and tell Master Wang Shuai the bad news that Madam Jin and Scholar Yang are missing together.”

Shaniu'er burst out laughing: "Hahahaha, tell Master Wang Shuai that his charming wife and Scholar Yang are living together innocently?

Hahahaha, Lord Shangguan, you are so bad! "

Yang Yuan watched the cavalry chasing in the direction of Dun'en City, and couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief, revealing a smug smile.

Tangquan Mountain?
Who would have thought that he would go up the mountain to take a hot spring bath at this time?
"Master Yang! Master Yang?"

Jin Yuzhen lay in the crevice and called quietly. After seeing Yang Yuan's position, Jin Yuzhen smiled sweetly: "Master Yang, I'm done, you should go take a bath too."

"Okay!" Yang Yuan stood up and walked back to the top of the mountain.

On one side of the hot spring pool, there are two small wooden houses.

That was the shelter that Yang Yuan had built when he asked Alihu and Ata to come here early last time and work with Yingge and Aman on "grafting".

The cabin is still there, covered with thick snow, so if you don't look specifically, you won't notice it.

Yang Yuan pointed over there and said, "Madam, you can go to the cabin over there and rest for a while. We are not in a hurry to leave today. We will go down the mountain early tomorrow morning."

Jin Yuzhen agreed, walked to the cabin, and took some effort to open the door that was blocked by snow.

The cabin was empty, with nothing in it, but there were still some items, such as a wooden bed, a stove, and pottery jars.

Jin Yuzhen saw some pine branches piled on the ground, probably prepared for firewood, so she picked up one, swept the wooden bed, and sat down.

After thinking about it, her eyes suddenly changed.

She stood up slowly, hesitated for a moment, and then tiptoed towards the door.

The wooden door was strong enough to block the wind, but there were still gaps.

Jin Yuzhen stood on tiptoe, closed one eye, and moved the other eye closer.

If it was Yang Yuan waiting in the wooden house at this time, would he peek at the beauty taking a bath?

Same thing.

No one knows anyway, I'm just taking a look, so that's the reason to indulge myself.

At the first sight, Jin Yuzhen blushed, but her eyes opened even wider.

Yang Yuan had been to Tangquan Mountain once, and Jin Yuzhen had been there once. This time, Yang Yuan and Jin Yuzhen came together.

Yang Yuan undressed and walked onto a large rock beside the hot spring pool.

The hot spring water emits hot steam. The top of the mountain is like an upside-down basin. The wind can't blow in, so the air is not cold.

The big rocks were also warm, and there were snowflakes falling from the sky.

Yang Yuan was standing on the big rock, and the afternoon sun cast a golden edge on his strong and masculine body.

Jin Yuzhen looked at the "divine body" in amazement, as if she saw Huanyin, the supreme god and sun god in Goryeo mythology!
No, at this moment, he is not a image, he is the Sun God!
Jin Yuzhen blushed, feeling that this kind of peeping behavior was totally inconsistent with her status as a well-educated noble lady.

But she swallowed her saliva with a dry mouth, but she was reluctant to move her eyes away.

Yang Yuan raised his arms high, imitating the diving movements of later generations. He jumped into the air, turned over, hugged his knees with his hands, and then dived into the water like a fish.

"Boom!"

Yang Yuan dived into the pool, and it seemed as if he also dived into Jin Yuzhen's heart. She hurriedly took two steps back guiltily and held down her heart that was about to jump out of her chest.

The open-air hot spring is steaming and has a slight sulphur smell.

Many of the snowflakes falling from the sky were melted by the heat before they even landed.

Only a very small number of snowflakes penetrated into the pool and melted away.

Strands of heat penetrated into the skin and internal organs, and the whole person seemed to melt in the hot spring water, and all fatigue was swept away.

Yang Yuan lay motionless, relaxed his limbs, letting the spring water caress his skin as he slowly rested his strength.

"Boom!"

At some point, there were two knocks on the door. Jin Yuzhen, who was sitting on the bed in a daze, shuddered and said quickly, "Ah, I'm here!"

Yang Yuan's voice came from outside: "Mrs. Jin, I'm done washing too. Shall we get something to eat?"

"Ah good!"

Jin Yuzhen quickly stood up, tidied her hair, and quickly checked her body. After finding nothing wrong, she stepped forward.

"Squeak~"

When the door opened, a beautiful woman with elegant temperament and graceful demeanor appeared.

Jin Yuzhen was wearing a white dress, her hair was tied in a high ponytail, and her slender neck made her look unattainable and noble.

Yang Yuan was also wearing a moon-white dress, with her hair tied in a high ponytail. She felt a little hot after taking a shower.

His chest was slightly open, revealing a section of his strong and broad pectoral muscles, which had been burned red.

Jin Yuzhen's eyes seemed to be burned, and she quickly looked away and took two steps back.

Yang Yuan said, "I'll light a fire in your room to warm up the house. Add some wood to the fire at night and it won't be cold."

Jin Yuzhen smoothed her hair awkwardly and agreed softly.

Yang Yuan lit a fire, and Jin Yuzhen took the clay basins and bowls, washed them, and brought in the spotless white snow.

Yang Yuan had already made a rack with wooden branches, and placed the clay pot filled with snow on it, and the snow melted quickly.

During this time, Yang Yuan went to the wooden house next door and lit a fire to remove the moisture from the room in advance.

Yang Yuan also brought in the big bag, which contained not only clothes for changing and a small amount of travel money, but also some biscuits and dried meat.

Yang Yuan cooked meat porridge and baked pancakes very skillfully.

Jin Yuzhen, who had nothing to do, sat aside and watched Yang Yuan's operations. Suddenly, she felt that if this was the way to escape, it would not be bad.

Although the meal is simple, it is delicious!
