"Your Highness, the sky outside has cleared up, but it will probably freeze over tomorrow morning, making the road even more difficult to travel."

Liang Chongyue's eyes were still fixed on the control panel. The road ahead was very difficult, especially since they had to cross mountains and ridges. She couldn't bring so many people with her.

"Inform everyone, put more rice in the lunch today so everyone can eat their fill and continue on their journey. We can rest after we pass Qizhou."

Ping An received the news and went out in the cold wind without wasting a moment.

The food they were eating was all brought from the base, and they just borrowed the farmer's kitchen. When a large bowl of rice was served, Liang Chongyue didn't care whether there were any side dishes, and just picked up the bowl and started eating.

After finishing his meal, Liang Chongyue left the farm with a group of people, braving the howling cold wind, and headed eastward according to the safest route planned by the system.

When they arrived in Qizhou, Liang Chongyue took out his badge and the garrison commander immediately came to receive them.

"Host, according to the time on the detailed navigation, we can only stay in Qizhou for a meal at most, otherwise we won't be able to reach the capital before the New Year."

Liang Chongyue glanced at the circuits on the panel. The system was very comprehensive, but she couldn't go any faster in the heavy snow.

Liang Chongyue only had one meal in Qizhou, and then changed to a good horse in Qizhou and continued his journey.

"You stay here and wait until the snow melts."

Liang Chongyue said this and walked into the snow again with the system in his stomach full of food.

Liang Chongyue had to sleep in the open air during the whole journey, and she could only get a good night's sleep when she reached the provincial capital. There was a dog, a horse, and a dead man. Along the way, Liang Chongyue looked at the wound on her hand that she had gotten at some unknown time, and felt that all the careful care her mother had given her for the past fifteen years had been in vain.

The cold wind from the northwest made her look at least ten years older.

"Host, according to the speed of the carrier eagle, my scumbag father will receive the victory report sent from the border tomorrow, as well as the news of Xiang Jingchuan and the sacrifice of tens of thousands of troops."

"Then you have to work hard for the next few days and observe the reaction of the scumbag father at all times. Most importantly, pay attention to his reaction to Xiang Jingchuan's death."

Liang Chongyue struggled to walk in the knee-deep snow. Fortunately, the system was tall, otherwise it would have been buried alive in the snow.

The snow stretched as far as the eye could see and the night fell. Liang Chongyue noticed the dangerous atmosphere around her, stopped her pace, opened the torch she bought from the mall and lit it. She inserted a torch on the system and the horse, and she had already put warming things on the horse and the system.

They couldn't spend the night in the snow. The snow here was too soft to build an igloo. They could only leave the snow quickly in the dark and find a place to spend the night ahead.

As Liang Chongyue walked, she would look back at the road they had walked, always feeling that someone was following them.

"puppy."

As soon as Liang Chongyue shouted, he saw the system's raised face, with ice on its beard and ice chips hanging on its eyelashes.

"What's wrong with the host?"

Liang Chongyue looked at the system, which had become like a snowman but seemed unaffected at all. He thought that it must have turned off all its senses. If the system was allowed to explore the surrounding situation now, at this temperature, if it turned on its senses, it would probably shiver from the cold in the next second.

"It's okay, I just called you."

The system looked at the host in confusion, then lowered its head and continued on its way.

Liang Chongyue turned around and looked at the road they had walked. The snow was so heavy now that the footprints on the road would probably be covered by the snow overnight.

I hope her feeling is wrong. No psychopath would come out and stalk people in the heavy snow.

Liang Chongyue disappeared into the snow with a dog, a horse and a person tied to the horse's back.

It was unknown how much time had passed before a group of men in black robes and masks appeared where they had just been.

"The commander has ordered us to follow so far away. If Her Highness Princess encounters any danger, we won't be able to catch up."

The leading man wore a mask with faint silver lines on his face. He glanced sideways at the subordinate who had just spoken, and with a sharp look, the man lowered his head and retreated.

"His Majesty only asked us to follow for protection. There will naturally be people leading the way ahead. Third Brother, you have crossed the line."

After the leading man finished speaking, a silver light flashed under the bright moonlight tonight, and the man who had just spoken fell to the ground with a bang, leaving only a faint shadow in the snow, and then disappeared into the snow.

The leading man turned his neck, gathered his cloak, and looked up at the heavy snow that was extremely obvious under the moonlight. He had watched the drama between his royal brother and Chongyue for so many years and had seen enough of it. He didn't know when it would end.

"Let's go. If you don't catch up, people will get far away."

The leading man sighed deeply, then resigned himself to his fate and followed the footprints on the ground to walk forward.

On the other side, in the candlelit Yangxin Palace, Liang Zhan held in his hand the victory report that had just been urgently sent from the border a hundred miles away. Looking at the news that was enough to inspire the three armies, he could not smile at all.

"Dark one."

Liang Zhan's voice was as low as ice, so cold that it made people shiver just by listening to it.

A dark shadow heard His Majesty's anxiety, fell from the beam, and walked quickly to His Majesty.

"I am here, Your Majesty, what are your orders?"

Liang Zhan threw the good news he had just received to the ground, closed his eyes, and pinched his eyebrows tiredly.

An Yi picked up the letter that His Majesty had just thrown away and read it carefully. When he saw the great victory at the border, An Yi didn't understand why His Majesty still looked so gloomy despite such good news.

"Your Majesty, we have won a great victory at the border. Langwa is willing to surrender to Daxia unconditionally. We only need to wait for General Baoqi to capture Dai Viet, and then we can return to the capital. Her Royal Highness will definitely return with the army, so Your Majesty no longer needs to worry about Her Royal Highness's safety every day."

Liang Zhan raised his eyelids slightly and glanced at An Yi. Why did he keep such a stupid person by his side in the first place?

"Xiang Jingchuan is dead, didn't you see it?"

After being reminded by His Majesty, An Yi had a bad feeling in his heart. He quickly finished reading the letter in his hand. When he saw the last piece of paper with handwriting that did not match the previous one, An Yi saw what it said:

General Xiang is dead. His Highness has already set off with a team of people to return to Beijing with General Xiang's body.

An Yi read the contents of the last piece of letter over and over again. He had accompanied His Majesty at the border for several years. It was snowing at the border at that time. It was cold and snowy all the way back to Beijing. Even if there were secret guards protecting her all the way, Her Royal Highness the Princess would definitely suffer.
