Wait for me, and watch me fight my way back to the reincarnation path

The next day, Aunt Mei said that Uncle Li had asked his two sons to come over, saying that they could help Douhua and the others go to the place mentioned by the madam and bring back Hua'er's body.

Qin Qiong nodded silently, and she walked out to express her gratitude to Li Bo's two sons.

She then said to Douhua: "When you find her, you don't have to bring back her body. Just cremate her on the spot and bring her ashes. When you come back, bury her on the hill behind and plant trees on top... Then this will be her home. I think she will like it."

No one spoke. Douhua nodded with tears in her eyes and took her people away.

Qin Qiong also said to Aunt Mei that from today on, she should tell everyone that she was sick and needed to recuperate for a few days and not see guests!

When night fell, Patriarch Qin, dressed in men's clothing, came to Prince Hong's study.

If Qin Qiong hadn't spoken, the prince wouldn't have recognized her, because he felt that the person he had just seen seemed to have a beard.

In short, this meeting was secret. This was the information Qin Qiong asked Yan Luqian to bring back.

"You want to take a look at the mountain first?!"

The prince looked at her in surprise. There was no point in going up the mountain at this time. The snow on the mountain had not melted yet and it was too cold!

"Yes, I'll go explore the road first, otherwise, we will be too passive. I've received news that there is a group of very fierce people over there, and outsiders can't get through at all. However, this trade route can only be used once or twice a year, and there are no bandits doing this kind of business. So, there is a problem here, I'll go and take a look first."

Qin Qiong analyzed it for him with a smile on his face.

"This...if it's too dangerous, forget it, let's think of another way."

"You don't want that trade route anymore? If there is a way, wouldn't you have done it long ago? Why wait until now?"

Qin Qiong said with a smile.

However, she was quite satisfied with the prince's answer just now.

"But, this..."

"Okay, I've made the preparations, don't worry. I came to you for two reasons. First, I want to sign a formal alliance with the prince. From now on, our Anmin League can pass freely through this mountain road. Second, hey, you must have a map of this mountain before, right? I want to see it."

The prince looked at Qin Qiong's pretty face speechlessly. He shook his head, turned around, took out a large sheepskin map from the shelf behind him, and spread it on the table.

Qin Qiong immediately took out the map he had gotten from Li Bo, and then took out a simple cross-shaped ruler he had made himself, and compared the scale of the two maps. Then, based on the scale, he compared the two maps, marked on Li Bo's map, and carefully wrote it down in another notebook.

The prince’s map is of course clearer, with all specific places labeled.

Qin Qiong compared them one by one, and she could hardly remember anything on her map. Seeing her like this, the prince simply stopped her, pushed the map to her and said that anyway, many places had been changed after the snow mountain movement, and the previous map was of no use, so he gave it to Qin Qiong.

Seeing that the prince was so understanding, Qin Qiong immediately said that she would return the map to him as soon as she came back, and would also help him re-mark the route of the trade route on it.

The prince laughed and said that as long as she brought back the map of the trade route safely, the Anmin League’s caravans would never have to pay taxes!

"If you do this, I will die for you!"

Qin Qiong's flattery was immediately delivered.

"Haha... I'm glad you're back. By the way, how many people are you bringing with you this time? Do you want me to send a few more people to you?"

"No, I'll go by myself. If there are too many people, we'll be discovered."

"What? How can that be possible!"

The prince grabbed Qin Qiong's hand.

"Really? I asked carefully. I think there must be secret points watching this mountain and that inn, so there can't be too many people. If something happens, it will be difficult to run away. I can do it alone."

Qin Qiong carefully asked Mr. Gao about the time they set out and the time they were on the road. She felt that the place where the problem occurred would not be too far away, and the survival rules between people on the snowy mountains were... cruel.

"No, how can you do it alone? At least take Yan Li with you. His kung fu is the best among my guards, and he is also the guard I trust the most. You can trust him completely."

But the prince was still worried.

"I didn't say I don't trust him, it's just...anything can happen when you go out, sometimes I may not be able to take care of him."

Qin Qiong regretted what he said the moment he finished speaking, and Yan Lu's face turned as black as the bottom of a pot.

"I won't be a burden to the Sect Master, please rest assured, Sect Master Qin!"

Yan Lu said with a cold face.

Qin Qiong looked at Yan Lu, then turned to the prince and whispered, "Look at him. Do I dare to let him follow me? If he comes back, I won't be able to come back."

The prince suppressed his laughter and said loudly to Yan Lu: "Yan Lu, listen to my orders! You must protect the safety of Sect Master Qin on this trip. If Sect Master Qin gets into trouble, you don't have to come back!"

"Yan Lu's command!"

The black-faced guard knelt down and saluted in a very stylish manner.

Qin Qiong looked at the two men helplessly. She really wanted to tell them that it was not that she did not want to bring people with her, but she just did not want the prince's men to follow her. This was a business secret, did you understand?

Two days later, Qin Qiong and Yan Lu met at the mountain pass, both of them riding donkeys. Yes, donkeys! Qin Qiong said that horses were too conspicuous, and...she couldn't ride them.

It’s not that she can’t ride it, it’s just okay on flat roads, but this is a mountain road, she refused!

Yan Lu had no choice but to get on the donkey with her. They left the town separately. When Yan Lu arrived at the meeting place, he found that people from the alliance were already waiting there. Obviously, Qin Qiong had made arrangements in advance.

Now, Qin Qiong was dressed very casually, because when she left, the prince gave her one of his fur coats, which Qin Qiong enjoyed very much.

At this time, she was still dressed as a man, and Yan Lu admired her very much for this.

I haven't seen him for a few days. He has grown a beard...

Now, the alliance in the town is still busy preparing to join the Jia family caravan, and many things are handled by Uncle Qin, because Sect Leader Qin is ill!

Women, that's it! Mr. Jia left after meeting them last time. His housekeeper is now in charge of the town. When he heard about what happened that day, he sighed...

After Qin Qiong and Yan Lu entered the mountain, Qin Qiong began to use a compass to locate themselves, and constantly compared and marked on the two maps.

Walking like this was very slow, so they walked for a whole day before they found a sheltered place marked on both maps.

This is a natural cave with a wide entrance and not deep. There are obvious signs of people making a fire and cooking here. Yan Lu also wanted to make a fire, but Qin Qiong told him not to do anything and told him to make a fire somewhere far away. She marked the map, measured the width and depth of the cave, and then retreated.

After leaving this valley, the road below became chaotic. In front of us, there seemed to be nothing but snow-capped mountains, and there seemed to be no difference between left and right. Judging from the traces on the ground, there were several roads ahead.

In fact, there are indeed several ways into the mountains, and they knew this before they came, otherwise there would not be so many business guests coming to the town all year round.

Although these roads exist, they are not suitable for large caravans. Some can be traveled by mules, but they are long detours. Most roads can only be traveled by people, which makes them useless for large caravans.

Think about it, if only people go there, how much goods can be transported?
