Half an hour later, Xuemei brought Ye Zhao to the west courtyard. Looking at the five hundred tons of grain, Ye Zhao felt a burst of joy in her heart. She could not hide her excitement. After thanking Wen Zhiyue, she went out with the five hundred tons of grain. manor.

Seeing Ye Zhao drifting away in the snow, Xuemei felt sad and said with tears in her eyes, "Girl, Ye Zhao will be cold and tired again when she returns to Fengqing City. When can we let her come back?"

"It should be soon. After I rescue my cousin, I will go find the prince to discuss it." Wen Zhiyue turned to Xuemei and patted Xuemei's shoulder gently, "The snow is getting heavier and heavier, go back. .”

Xuemei agreed and followed Wen Zhiyue into the manor.

The snow was falling heavier and heavier. Ye Nanxuan looked at the soldiers in the wind and snow. Although his face was cold, he felt pity in his heart. With such heavy snow, if there was no more food in the city, even if he would not starve to death, he would still suffer from civil strife. Casualties, he stood on the city and looked into the vast wind and snow. Apart from the roar of the wind and the flying snow flakes, no trace of Ye Zhao could be seen.

"Your Majesty, although this is not too far from Zhuxi Manor, the snow is getting heavier and heavier outside. If the snow blocks the road, even if the manor lends food to Ye Zhao, Ye Zhao and the two soldiers will not be able to bring it back." Ye Han was beside Ye Nanxuan, his eyes full of worry.

"You take the twenty secret guards from Xueyou Pavilion and go forward to greet Ye Zhao. If Ye Zhao can borrow food, I will support it for a while. I will go to the capital in person to ask my father for food. If Ye Zhao can't borrow it, Bring food and summon the secret guards of Xueyou Pavilion. Anyone who makes trouble will be killed without mercy." Ye Nanxuan's face was cold and his eyes were filled with sadness.

After hearing Ye Nanxuan's words, Ye Han's expression changed and returned to normal instantly, "Yes." After saying that, he walked towards the city.

Ye Zhao and his party carried more than a dozen carts of food and moved forward slowly in the snow.

"Miss Ye, the snow is getting heavier and heavier, and the wind is getting stronger and stronger. Why not find a place to rest first, and then return to Fengqing City after the snowstorm passes." A soldier ran from the back to the front and shouted to Ye Ye loudly. Zhao said.

"No, tens of thousands of soldiers in Fengqing City are waiting for these grains." Ye Zhao turned around and asked the soldier to lead everyone forward. She walked to the rear of the convoy.

Suddenly, a strong wind blew, causing people to fall back several meters. Ye Zhao looked around firmly. The wind picked up the snow and circled it in the air. The howls of wolves in the distance made people tremble.

"Everyone, stay where you are and don't move." Ye Zhao crawled forward with difficulty and told everyone in his ears.

In the evening, the snow did not stop. Instead, it fell harder and harder with the strong wind. Looking at the branches bent by the weight of the trees, Wen Zhiyue held the stove in her hand and frowned, "Xuemei, how long has Ye Zhao been gone?"

"We have been walking for seven hours. If there was no wind or snow, I would probably have eaten all this time." Xuemei had a smile on her face. When she returned from Dongyue Kingdom, she and Ye Zhaoqi could take care of the girl again. This is something she has been looking forward to for three years.

"If there is a violent storm and snow, and the road is difficult to travel, I'm afraid we may not be able to reach it at this time." Wen Zhiyue lamented.

"Girl, Ye Zhao won't be in danger on the road, right?" The smile on Xuemei's face disappeared, and she looked at Wen Zhiyue worriedly.

"Go and prepare twenty snow rakes. Let's go to Fengqing City." Wen Zhiyue turned back and looked at Xuemei with determined eyes.

"It's snowing so heavily. Please, slave and Luo Chuan, take people there..."

Before Xuemei could finish speaking, Wen Zhiyue stretched out her hand to stop her, "Go and get ready, and bring some tools, food and hot water. If they stray into a deep recess, they will either freeze to death or starve to death. "

"Yes, I will be there soon." Xuemei quickly ran out.

Wen Zhiyue led dozens of guards, carrying night lights and sliding on snowboards towards Feng Qingcheng.

The night was like a black devil, swallowing up the weak night light. The group walked for more than ten kilometers in the wind and snow, and heard a faint cry for help in the dark night.

"Luochuan, listen, someone is calling for help." Xuemei stopped and grabbed Luochuan beside her.

Luochuan stopped and listened quietly for a while. He quickly caught up with Wen Zhiyue and said, "Girl, someone is indeed calling for help in front."

Seeing Luo Chuan's nervous expression, Wen Zhiyue gave the order, "Be careful, don't hurt anyone."

"Yes." Luo Chuan quickly walked forward with a dozen guards.

They didn't go far before they found a man under a short tree.

"Girl, we found someone here." Luo Chuan called to Wen Zhiyue, and Wen Zhiyue quickly stepped forward following the voice.

"Girl, this is a man from the manor, the one who escorts the food." Wen Zhiyue knelt down and put her hand on the man's breath, "The man is still alive, wake him up, give him some hot water, and get him some cotton clothes. He puts it on."

"Yes." Luo Chuan asked the guards to carry the man to a mountain col not far away from the wind. The man felt a warmth, slowly opened his eyes, looked at Luo Chuan in front of him, and uttered intermittently, "Luo Chuan -Command-leader."

"Quickly, give him some hot water to wake him up quickly." Luo Chuan urgently ordered the guard beside him. The man drank some hot water and gradually recovered and gained some strength.

"How are you feeling? Can you speak?" Luo Chuan frowned. He looked at the man and nodded slightly, then continued to ask: "Did you get separated from the others?"

The man shook his head gently. He raised his hand and pointed to the hillside in front of the col. "When I crossed the hillside, a strong wind blew me down the mountain."

"Then did you see where the other people were blown to?" Luo Chuan asked eagerly.

"A strong wind came up, and Miss Ye was in a hurry to go on her way. When the wind blew, I heard Miss Ye telling everyone to lie down on the spot and not move. I don't know where they are now." The man gasped softly and answered Luo slowly. Chuan asked.

Luo Chuan glanced at the man and ordered the guard next to him, "Look after him here and cover him with more cotton clothes."

The guard held up his hands and said, "Yes."

Luo Chuan turned around and walked quickly to Wen Zhiyue, pointing to a hillside not far away, "Girl, that man woke up. He was blown down the hillside by the wind."

"Let's go to the hillside and have a look." Wen Zhiyue led a group of people and slid up the hillside with the night patrol light.

As soon as they reached the halfway point of the hillside, guards kept reporting that they were looking for people. In just half an hour, they found more than twenty people.

Xuemei's eyes glanced at everyone, but she didn't find Ye Zhao. She walked to Wen Zhiyue's side sadly, "Girl, almost all the people who escorted the food have been found, why is Ye Zhao not there?"

"Don't be anxious yet." Wen Zhiyue comforted Xuemei, but she was also a little anxious. The weather was cold and it was easy to freeze to death. She looked at Luochuan not far away and walked forward quickly, "Luochuan, the person escorting the food Have you found everything?"

"It's all gone. The soldiers who came with Ye Zhao have also been found." Luo Chuan looked at Wen Zhiyue with solemn eyes.
