They walked for two full days before reaching the end of the passage. It took a lot of effort to dig out an underground passage in such a frozen and snowy place.

The space at the exit was dug slightly larger, and food, water, and clothes were placed inside.

Jiang Li lit the oil lamp and said, "Let's take a rest first."

Bai Yu put Jiang Xuening down, Wu Jin touched her forehead, which was still very hot, and gave her some medicine.

Several people found their own places to sit down, drink water and eat.

Jiang Li took out the hammer he had prepared and said, "When it gets dark, we will break open the ice and go out."

The night here is dangerous and their best cover.

Several people took the time to rest. Jiang Xuening's face was red, she closed her eyes tightly and said, "He Lianxuan, go to hell...kill you..."

In the silence, Bai Yu spoke first, "She looks very hateful."

"If she is caught, He Lianxuan will not let her go easily." Jiang Li looked solemn and worried.

Bai Yu shook the fan in his hand nonchalantly, "We'll talk about the future later. The most important thing now is to escape."

After eating and drinking, and almost resting, there was a sudden "clang, clang, clang, clang" sound.

Jiang Li looked relieved and stood up, "The people to help us are here, stay back."

Everyone took a few steps back and waited with bated breath. The sound of smashing ice became louder and louder, and with a loud noise, the manhole cover at the exit was opened.

A rough and bold male voice came, "Is this the shopkeeper down there?"

Jiang Li responded immediately, "It's me."

A simple ladder was quickly put down from the entrance of the cave, and Jiang Li was the first to step on the ladder and fly up. Bai Yu followed behind with Jiang Xuening on his back, and Wu Jin stopped behind.

When they all came up, the leading man introduced himself, "My name is Ye Tuo, and I'm a brother of the shopkeeper."

After speaking, he quickly asked his men to cover the hole again and led them out.

Ye Tuo is a smart man, not to mention that people in their profession never ask about their origins or the identity of their employer, only money.

Jiang Li had saved his life and gave him enough money this time, so he brought only his confidants and made sure to send them out of Beiyuan safely.

They are the famous mercenaries in this area - Agni. He has rich experience in camouflage and is extremely familiar with this area.

Ye Tuo took them directly to a small wooden house, "You guys have a rest, we will leave here disguised as a caravan tomorrow."

Caravans often come in to collect medicinal materials and furs, and their main business is mercenaries and their side business is caravans. They are very familiar with the process and are not easily exposed.

Wu Jin couldn't worry about Jiang Xuening and took care of her all night, giving her water and applying it to her forehead. The temperature finally dropped.

The next day, although her whole body was still sore and weak, she was finally able to go to the ground.

Jiang Xuening said hoarsely, "It turns out he wasn't burned to death."

She drowsily woke up for a moment, her eyes were full of fire, and she thought she was dead.

"You are in danger even if you don't wake up." Bai Yu said.

Ye Tuo brought them caravan clothes. After putting them on, he darkened his face and braided his hair, making them look like a pure barbarian caravan.

Jiang Xuening directly dressed up as a little boy, dark and thin, with a scar on his face. Wrapped in thick cotton clothes, he slept on a wooden carriage.

Ye Tuo scanned everyone's outfits, made sure they were fine, and said in a loud voice, "Let's go!"

A group of people walked slowly on the snow, occasionally meeting a few people, and everyone looked like they were in a hurry.

The group of people seemed to be relaxed, but in fact they were all vigilant. They walked for almost a day and did not notice the little tail behind them.

Jiang Xuening thought that He Lianxuan's manpower was limited, so he did not send out a large number of troops to pursue her.

She slept too much yesterday, and now her mind is unusually clear. I thought to myself that after leaving Beiyuan, I would just stay in bed. While building your own power, you are also nourishing your body.

When she has a trump card in her hand, her body is well and her face is healthy, she will return to the imperial city.

She was able to escape unscathed this time all because of the trump card left by the Gu family. Even though her family died unjustly, they still protected her. Thinking of this, her heart felt painful and warm.

Ye Tuo pointed to the tea shop in front, "After passing that tea shop, walk forward for an hour and you will reach the outermost area."

Everyone was tired after walking for a day. The caravan stopped outside the tea shop and Jiang Xuening got out of the car with difficulty.

Ye Tuo asked Jiang Li in a low voice, "Take a break, let everyone drink hot tea, and then continue on your way."

Jiang Li nodded. There was a big table left against the wall. A group of people walked in and sat down randomly.

"Waiter, please bring two pots of hot tea and food."

The waiter quickly served them two large pots of hot tea and a bowl of simple plain noodles for each of them.

As soon as the hot noodles enter my mouth, I feel extremely comfortable. Everyone held their bowls and ate hard. Jiang Xuening took a sip of the noodle soup and felt her stomach warmed up, so she ate in small bites.

Shen Zhaoyan came in with someone and sat down at the only empty table. Shen Bi spoke to the waiter in a calm voice.

Jiang Xuening, who was eating happily, felt that the noodles in her mouth were no longer tasty when she heard the sound. She slowly turned her head and peeked like a thief, and saw someone's snow-white fox fur.

Shen Zhaoyan was on the other side, sitting with his back to her.

Jiang Xuening secretly rolled her eyes. Even if they meet like this, there is a bit of a bad relationship between them.

Jiang Xuening gently pulled Jiang Li's sleeve and motioned for him to look over. Shen Zhaoyan appeared here, and she was afraid that He Lianxuan was coming soon.

Jiang Li said silently, "Leave after eating..."

The tea shop soon became lively, and the guests were drinking tea and eating noodles while talking about the latest news in Beiyuan.

"Hey, have you heard that the Fengxue Inn caught fire and burned to ashes!"

"Tsk, tsk, this is nothing. I heard that he was assassinated on the snowy mountain and was seriously injured."

"There are rumors that he was killed on the spot..."

As soon as these words came out, all the guests in the tea shop were in an uproar, and the spirit of gossip was burning.

Some people exclaimed, "Isn't it going to change the world soon?"

"It's not easy to talk nonsense about this kind of thing, it's so easy to die..."

Although no one dared to mention the name, it was very vague. But the fact that He Lianxuan was in Beiyuan was basically an open secret.

Jiang Xuening instantly felt that the noodles in the bowl were fragrant again. People would not die so easily due to the scourge that had lasted for thousands of years, but he probably would not be able to trouble her for the time being.

Jiang Xuening slowly finished the noodles in the bowl and drank a cup of hot tea.

When the time was almost up, they got up and left. They were going to take a breather and walk to a small town outside the snow-capped mountains to rest again.

A group of them moved, tables and chairs collided, causing quite a commotion.

Shen Zhaoyan glanced back as if he was feeling something, and instantly met Jiang Xuening's eyes.

Jiang Xuening looked away expressionlessly, and Shen Zhaoyan sneered, "You look good this time."

If you don't listen, don't listen, Wang Ba recites the scriptures.

Jiang Xuening had a stupefied face, walked out, climbed into the car and lay down. The caravan quickly set off again and continued on its way.
