The evil wind carrying the blizzard became stronger and stronger. Everyone lay on the ground, feeling like they would be blown away by the wind at any time.

Each carriage contained thousands of kilograms of grain and grass, and Lu Yan's carriage also contained a load of things that Prince Yi had brought to his daughter, but none of them were blown away. Lu Yan, Lu Sheng, and He Wenjing were close to each other, holding their arms with each other, holding on to the wheels of the overturned carriage to prevent them from being blown away.

They were soon covered with a thick layer of snow and buried in the ground. Lu Yan was relieved, at least she wouldn't be blown away.

The snow was falling harder and harder, and the snow pressing on her body was getting thicker and thicker. Lu Yan felt that she was about to suffocate, but she did not dare to move for fear of being blown away by the wind as soon as she came out. She thought desperately: Am I going to be buried alive in the snow? As she gradually got used to the whistling wind in her ears, Lu Yan's mind went blank and her consciousness began to leave her body.

After an unknown amount of time, the howling wind in my ears gradually stopped, leaving only the quiet sound of falling snow. Lu Yan woke up with a start, quickly crawled out of the snow, shook off the snow on her body, and went to call Lu Sheng and He Wenjing.

Lu Sheng and He Wenjing also crawled out of the snow. The entire convoy repeated the action of coming out of the snow and digging out their companions in the snow.

The wind had stopped blowing, but the snow was still falling, and it was thick enough to reach my calves. The entire convoy began to tidy up in a noisy manner, lifting up the fallen carriages and horses, and retrieving all the scattered military rations and objects. When the complete outfit was completed, the snow had already reached the thighs.

The guards opened a snow path in front, and the prince who was walking in front was moved to the back. The prince, Lu Yan and Lu Sheng came together again.

Lu Yan couldn't help but ask: "Does Liaozhou often encounter this kind of weather?"

The prince shook his head: "It often snows heavily in Liaozhou, but it usually happens next month. By then we are already in Liaoyang County or the military camp. We can repair on the spot and leave after the snow stops. This year's weather is a bit unusual. The snow It rained too early.”

"The biggest problem with the snow is not the cold, but the fact that it's so white that it's easy to lose sight of the direction. But we just need to follow the path we're taking. We don't need to know the direction, so it's not a big problem."

After listening to the prince's explanation, Lu Yan felt more at ease.

The guards opened a path in front and shoveled the snow to both sides, forming a snow path that was as high as half a person. As everyone walked on the snowy road, they felt that the wind was indeed blocked, but it was still very cold. Lu Yan felt that her ears were about to freeze off.

Knowing that her ears could be frozen off, she wrapped her scarf around her face several times, leaving only her eyes exposed. When she gets back, she will ask Mrs. Xu to make a facekini for her.

The group of people dug forward in this way. When it got dark, they stopped to rest and slept in special sheepskin sleeping bags. The prince was well prepared for this kind of weather and gave Lu Yan and three sleeping bags three sleeping bags. The sleeping bags were made of sheepskin and were airtight. They were very warm inside. Lu Yan gained experience and made a note in her notebook that she would also do this.

The cold-warming artifact prepared by Lu Yan, shredded ginger brown sugar, also came in handy. Lu Yan put dried ginger shreds into brown sugar and pressed them into lumps. She brought a large bag with her and took out two lumps to boil water to make a pot of brown sugar ginger soup. A bowl of it was sweet and spicy, and it warmed the heart from the mouth to the stomach. , and then all limbs and bones became warm.

With so many guards braving the snow to open the snowy trails, Lu Yan couldn't just drink it for herself without sharing it with others. She simply cooked ginger soup in a big pot and gave each person a bowl. Within a few days, Lu Yan prepared three for several people. I drank all the month's worth.

The snow kept falling, and the snow path shoveled out became higher as we walked forward. Eventually, one person was already taller. Fortunately, after walking like this for about five or six days, we finally arrived in Liaoyang County.

The Liaoyang County Magistrate had already received the news and knew that the team transporting grain and grass would arrive in the next few days. He waited at the city gate every day to greet them, and today he finally welcomed them.

This was the first time Lu Yan met the legendary hard-working Liaoyang County Magistrate, and she secretly looked at him for a long time.

The magistrate of Liaoyang was called Zeng Lu. Fulu didn't look at him because he was working a lot. Zeng Lu was notoriously frail and sickly. He often claimed to be ill and requested to seek medical advice, but was rejected by the Holy Father many times. I don’t know if he was already weak or if he became like this after coming to Liaozhou.

Magistrate Zeng also looks like a handsome old man who is a symbol of integrity and talent, but he does seem to be in poor health. He is as skinny as a reed pole, swaying in the wind. His complexion was sallow, and the dark circles under his eyes were drooping almost to the corners of his mouth.

Zeng Lu bowed to the prince and said hello, then staggered, but the prince helped him. Zeng Lu smiled sheepishly: "I had a cold and fell ill two days ago. I'm not fully recovered yet, so I made you laugh."

The prince really couldn't say anything, so he told him to take care of his health and there was no need to accompany them, so he sent him back to recuperate.

Before Beidi was taken back, there was a special garrison in Liaoyang County. After Beidi was taken back, the Northern Border Army moved further north to guard the newly taken over territory. Every year when the prince transported food to Liaoyang County, he always went directly to the original military camp. This time was no exception. He drove Zeng Lu back to recuperate and asked him not to hold any unnecessary reception banquets. Then he led the team straight to Luo Military Camp. .

Lu Yan didn't want to go to the military camp. She came here to open a trade route and do trade. She couldn't do anything in the military camp. So she said goodbye to the prince, and the three of them parted ways with the prince's team and stayed in Liaoyang County.
