Demoted from wife to concubine? Reborn, the mistress of a noble family plots another high-status mar

Chapter 873

"We also need to find a few girls who know martial arts to protect the child."

Xiao Ling'er thought that made sense. "Then should I ask my grandfather to make the arrangements?"

There are also members of the Yun family.

But it's still not as convenient as having someone arranged by the Xiao family.

"Alright, then you go to the Xiao family outside the palace. Xiao Xiao can stay in the palace for now, so she can keep Xiao Bao and the others company."

Xiao Ling'er put the child down. "Okay, I'll be right back."

After everyone left, Madam Yun sat down beside her granddaughter and wondered, "I wonder how Yue'er and the others are doing. Have they reached the snow mountain yet?"

......

half a month later.

Murong Yu was dressed in black armor, his cloak billowing in the wind. His expression was cold and resolute, and his eyes were fixed on the snow-capped mountain before him.

Beside him, Yun Xiyue was also dressed in military uniform, looking heroic and dashing with her hair flying in the wind.

Behind them, thousands of troops stood in formation, the sound of hooves shaking the earth slightly. Their armor gleamed coldly in the sunlight, and their banners fluttered in the wind, as if to paint the snow-capped mountains with the colors of battle. The dust raised by the army billowed like thick smoke, pressing down on the foot of the snow-capped mountains with overwhelming momentum.

"Your Majesty, the troops cannot advance. Otherwise, it will cause an avalanche in the snow-capped mountains."

"The only way we can go is to walk."

The soldier who went to scout the way returned and reported back.

Murong Yu said, "A-Yue, let's take a few people to take a look first."

"They should send someone to pick them up."

The Dragon Shadow Guard has been to the snow mountain.

The further you go in, the colder it gets.

It can also cause difficulty breathing, and in severe cases, dizziness.

There was no way to go up the mountain.

Sure enough, a group of men in black appeared at the entrance to the snowy mountain.

"Did you bring the items?" The leader of the men in black was the same one who had tried to steal the medicine manual from Yun Xiyue.

“I want to see my master and father. Only if they are safe and sound can I give you the things.”

Otherwise, she wouldn't have taken it out.

The man in black said, "If you don't give them to us first, then we'll have no choice but to kill them."

"you dare?"

Murong Yu sneered, his sharp gaze fixed on the other party.

I felt the majesty of the emperor.

The man in black seemed to change his expression and took a few steps back. "Half of the snow mountain belongs to the territory of Great Xia, and there are also Great Xia people living around it."

"If you insist on attacking the snow mountain, it will surely collapse, and the surrounding people will surely die."

"As the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty, are you going to disregard your people for the sake of two men who deserve to die?"

Yunxi Yue was furious. "You deserve to die! You detained our father and master; you had no good intentions."

"Ah!"

The man in black sneered, "Do you know what they did? Just because they are your father and master doesn't mean you think they're innocent. Let me tell you, what they did is unforgivable. They absolutely deserve to die!"

The man's voice was loud and clear, with a hint of sharpness.

"Nonsense! My master is a divine doctor who saves lives and heals the wounded. He would never do anything immoral. If he did, it was because you forced him to."

"Ha ha!"

The man in black laughed loudly, "Hmph, it seems you know nothing about the Ghost Hand."

"Yun Xiyue, don't think you can get away with this just because he helped you defy fate! No one can break the rules of our Snow Mountain. Since he did it, he has to pay the price!"

Yun Xiyue's expression changed slightly, and she gripped the horse's reins tightly. What did she mean by defying fate?

Master, just how many things have you been hiding from her?
