After rebirth, I became a treacherous minister Black Moonlight

Meng Qianqian walked back two miles, passed through the woods on the west, and entered a mountain range with overlapping peaks.

Just by crossing this mountain range, we can save two or three days of journey.

The mountain road is rugged and covered with thick snow. There are several winding roads on the edge of a cliff. On the left is a rocky mountain wall, and on the right is an abyss with strong winds.

Sometimes it looks like a road, but in reality it may just be a pile of snow. Once you step on it, there is no way back.

Meng Qianqian led the horse and walked forward with difficulty in the wind and snow.

The closer they got to the top of the mountain, the stronger the wind and snow became. She could hardly open her eyes because of the wind, and the horse refused to move forward several times.

An experienced horse can sense the danger in the environment. It is not only saving itself, but also saving Meng Qianqian.

But she couldn't stop.

Meng Qianqian touched its head, slowly opened her frozen and numb lips, and said with difficulty: "Don't worry, I will definitely take you across the mountains safely."

The man and the horse continued to move forward.

It took a full hour to walk the mountain road which was only a few hundred feet long.

Fortunately, we got through the dangerous section safely, and the rest of the mountain roads will be very wide.

"what!"

Meng Qianqian took a long breath, supported her body with the Xiuchun Knife, and took a short breath.

The horse was also very tired, and Meng Qianqian couldn't bear to ride it anymore, so she led it on a walk at night.

After an unknown amount of time, the man and the horse finally reached the top of the mountain.

The horse was hungry, so Meng Qianqian took some food and grass from the saddle to feed it.

Just as the horse was eating grass, something strange happened!

An extremely subtle sound of tearing cloth came from under the thick snow.

Oh no, there is frozen ground hanging in the air under my feet!

It's going to break!

Meng Qianqian raised her hand to grab the horse's reins, but it was too late. Human power is always as small as dust in the face of natural disasters.

boom!

She fell into the abyss along with the broken frozen soil.

At the critical moment, a hand as cold as a bone tightly grasped her wrist.

Lu Yuan was lying in the snow, with most of his body leaning out of the cliff, holding her with one hand and the horse's reins with the other.

The horse bit the reins tightly, and its hooves scraped sparks in the snow.

Meng Qianqian raised her eyes and looked at him in disbelief, as well as the masked man behind him who suddenly flew into the air and slashed at him with a sword.

He either let go or died.

Lu Yuan loosened his hand, the hand that was holding the reins.

They both fell down, and he pulled Meng Qianqian up with force.

The moment she jumped onto the cliff, Meng Qianqian drew out the Embroidered Spring Sword from her waist and slashed the masked man's throat with one blow!

Meng Qianqian knelt on one knee and landed steadily on the snow. At the same time, she grabbed Lu Yuan's wrist and pulled Lu Yuan up!

Lu Yuan brushed off the snow on his wide sleeves and smiled, "Your swordsmanship is not bad."

Meng Qianqian cleaned the blade with snow and put it back into the sheath: "Not a bad idea."

She took off her mask, clasped her fists and bowed: "Greetings, Grand Commander."

In the capital, she followed the common etiquette of a girl, but when she went out, she changed into men's clothes and performed the bow ceremony.

Lu Yuan turned around and looked at the heavy snowfall: "Let's find a place to hide first."

Meng Qianqian glanced at the masked man on the ground: "Has the Grand Commander been chased all the way?"

Lu Yuan said nonchalantly: "There's nothing to be surprised about. It's abnormal that no one wants to assassinate me."

The two found a cave.

The horses were grazing outside.

Meng Qianqian unloaded the luggage from the saddle, including firewood and dry food.

She built a bonfire expertly.

She herself used to eat frozen pancakes directly, but considering that this was a high-ranking minister who brought his own charcoal and chair wherever he went, she still toasted the pancakes over the fire, and then took out a new water bag from her bag, filled it with clean snow water, and placed it next to the fire to heat it up for him.

Lu Yuan took a look and said, "This is the water bag from the Governor's Mansion."

Meng Qianqian nodded: "Yes, Manager Cen gave it to me."

She opened the bundle and took out a bottle of golden wound medicine, "Grand Commander, your wrist is injured."

He was scratched by the protruding rocks on the cliff when he was pulling her just now.

Lu Yuan handed her his injured right hand.

Meng Qianqian: I mean for you to wipe it yourself.

Lu Yuan said calmly: "Why? Can't you cure this minor injury?"

"It can be cured."

Meng Qianqian obediently gave the Grand Commander the medicine.

Lu Yuan felt that this medicine bottle looked very familiar: "Did Manager Cen give this to me?"

Meng Qianqian said: "Yes."

Lu Yuan's eyes fell on the bag she opened. There were gloves, earmuffs, knee pads... everything, even cold cream to prevent frostbite.

However, looking at the girl’s frostbitten face, it seems that it didn’t work.

"Were these prepared by Manager Cen?"

"Yes!" Meng Qianqian nodded seriously, "The Grand Commander doesn't have one?"

Lu Yuan grabbed the pancake and suddenly didn't want to eat it anymore.

Thinking of something, Meng Qianqian asked, "How did the Grand Commander recognize me?"

Lu Yuan said calmly: "Embroidered Spring Knife."

Meng Qianqian touched the scabbard and said, "This Xiuchun Knife was also given to me by Manager Cen. Is it different from other Xiuchun Knifes?"

Lu Yuan: "You talk too much."

Meng Qianqian: "Where's Zhaozhao?"

Lu Yuan looked at her coldly.

Meng Qianqian smiled: "Just ask the last question."

Lu Yuan said unhappily: "With Qingshuang."

"Under the mountain?"

"Is that your last sentence?"

Meng Qianqian lowered her head.

Lu Yuan said coldly: "Fengsha Town."

Fengsha Town is only a hundred miles away, and it takes only two days to get to Yumen Pass.

It seems that Zhao Zhao didn't go with him, but they wouldn't be too far away.

This arrangement is safer for Zhao Zhao.

Meng Qianqian wanted to say something but stopped herself.

Lu Yuan: “Ask!”

Meng Qianqian: "Is Lu Lingxiao also in Fengsha Town?"

Lu Yuan sneered: "You really care about him."

Meng Qianqian said: "I must find him."

Lu Yuan turned his head away and snorted coldly: "Humph."

Meng Qianqian had traveled too far and after sitting by the fire for a while she gradually felt drowsy, so she forced herself to stay awake.

Lu Yuan said indifferently: "I am on night watch. I sleep too much during the day and can't sleep at night."

Meng Qianqian didn't bother to be polite with him. She hugged the Embroidered Spring Knife and fell asleep.

Lu Yuan came to the fire and added some firewood.

He looked at the dancing flames and waved his arm. The cloak on his shoulders flew out, carrying his body temperature and breath, covering her curled up petite body.

When Meng Qianqian woke up, it was already bright day.

The bonfire was still burning.

"No wonder I didn't feel cold all night."

During this period of time when we had to sleep in the open air, I was woken up by the cold many times every night and was even robbed once at the post station. Although the robbers did not succeed, my good sleep was ruined.

After a good sleep, I feel refreshed.

Lu Yuan was standing outside the cave. The snow had stopped and the morning light enveloped the mountains, like brilliant golden sand.

He was wearing a black cloak, standing alone between heaven and earth, overlooking the mountains and rivers.

Meng Qianqian came up behind him: "Grand Commander."

Lu Yuan looked far away and said, "Go down the mountain."

After Meng Qianqian packed up her things, she thought of a question: "There is only one horse."

Lu Yuan got on the horse.

Meng Qianqian blinked: "What about me?"

Lu Yuan said, "Lead the horse."

Meng Qianqian frowned: "This is my horse."

Lu Yuan said confidently: "So I let you lead it."

Meng Qianqian's face darkened.
