On the cliff, the confidant asked after realizing it belatedly:

"Master, where is Lord Hades' body?"

Ji Chengfeng was still lying on the ground, dying, surrounded by the wolf pack under Lu Jin's command.

Baili Lin replied coldly:

"It was eaten by the Gu."

The confidant asked again: "Then Master, what should we do next?"

The figures of Liu Xunfeng and Lu Ningshuang were only the size of a palm. Baili Lin withdrew his gaze from afar and gave instructions to the former Prince Shadow Guard, who had expanded into the Snow Shadow Guard Squad after he ascended the throne:

“Feng Xing, go find the nearest way down the mountain.

Fengying, take your men to the opposite hill to hunt a dozen antelopes and throw them to the wolves. Have everyone pack their bags and we'll set off immediately when Fengxing comes back."

"Yes."

"Yes!"

……

The rough sandy and rocky ground coupled with the oncoming snow and wind made walking extremely difficult.

Looking far away in the direction Lu Ningshuang pointed, Liu Xunfeng walked for more than an hour, one step deep and one step shallow, before he saw the so-called caravan.

In fact, the caravan was not far away from them. They were still heading in the same direction. The straight-line distance between them was less than ten meters at the closest and no more than two miles at the farthest.

However, this vast and desolate land is made up of thousands of mountains and valleys, and the complex terrain makes a nearby place seem like a faraway place.

After walking for another half an hour, the sound of camel bells came to their ears. After passing through a cave under a cliff, a huge caravan loaded with goods appeared in front of them.

"Stop! Don't move!"

The guards who were on guard around the caravan swung their spears through the air and blocked Liu Xunfeng at the entrance of the cave.

One of them waved a flag toward the rear, and a man who looked like a team leader came over on horseback to inquire about the situation.

"what happened?"

"Captain, this man suddenly jumped out from here, his behavior is suspicious, I suspect he is a scout of the bandits!"

The team leader nodded and looked at Liu Xunfeng, his gaze wandering around his back.

“The Yellow Wind Plain has a steep terrain with many gullies and is home to nearly a dozen wolf packs. It is now the most dangerous wind season and storms often occur in the evening.

I wonder why you are here?"

The Qin family is large and powerful, with many subordinates.

The three uncles of the Qin family can be trusted, and the three legitimate sons should be trustworthy, but the people below them may not be trustworthy.

The rumor that Ningning possessed the Qiang Kingdom's most precious treasure and that her flesh and blood could revive the dead had been rife for some time. There was no guarantee that there wouldn't be people who were blinded by profit and would detain her despite knowing her identity.

Liu Xunfeng quickly made up an excuse in his mind and replied with lingering fear:

“Brother, I received an urgent letter from home a few days ago, so I had to take the risk and rush with my sister.

Just as you said, we were chased by a pack of wolves on the way and our ancestors must have had their heads bruised in hell, but that saved my sister and I from death.

I have been carrying my sister on my back for most of the day in the snow and wind. She has a high fever and keeps talking nonsense. Please be kind enough to take us in!"

Liu Xunfeng lifted a corner of Lu Ningshuang's hood, revealing her flushed red cheeks. He forced out a few tears and knelt down in front of everyone.

He cried out:

"My dear brother, I only have this one sister, please be kind! Saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda. I believe your master will not stand by and watch me die!"

The caravan is well-disciplined and large in number.

There were more than a hundred camels for pulling goods alone, and there were more than two hundred horses and camels used by guards and merchants for security.

Liu Xunfeng's howl attracted countless curious eyes.

The team leader's face didn't look good, but seeing that the brother and sister were indeed pitiful, he said coldly:

"Stand up right there, or others will say that my Qin family bullies the weak! Just stay here quietly, and I will ask the master for instructions, and then I will see whether I can let you stay!"

The team leader instructed the five team members:

"Keep an eye on him. If he does anything wrong, tie him up immediately!"

"Little brother, you should go quickly. Time is life. My sister's life is in your hands!"

Liu Xunfeng urged the team leader to leave, but he didn't get up obediently. He moved his butt backwards, crossed his legs on the ground, and moved Lu Ningshuang from his back to his arms.

He hugged her tightly, kept brushing the snow off her cloak, and waited nervously.

Not long after, a sturdy man wearing a fur coat and a fox fur hat with ear protection came over on a tall horse. The feeling of oppression came over me before he even arrived.

Liu Xunfeng raised his head suddenly, and the team leader scolded him, saying:

"My master has come here in person."

A look of surprise flashed across the sturdy man's face. He dismounted his horse, strode over, and squatted beside Liu Xunfeng.

"Doctor Liu? My people said you have a sister, but I remember you don't have a sister..."

Qin Junxiang hissed, and a look of shock appeared on his face, which had been hardened by the wind and sand. His big hand reached out towards the gray white fox fur hood.

"Could it be my sister?"

Liu Xunfeng was also shocked, but he heaved a sigh of relief in an instant and said hastily:

"Young Master, Ningning has been exposed to the cold wind for most of the day. Now she has a high fever and keeps talking incoherently. She needs to be moved to a warm place immediately.

In addition, does the caravan have any emergency medicines and strong liquor? Prepare some for me!"

The team leader was stunned:

"Young Master, this is..."

Qin Junxiang quickly took off his mink coat, wrapped Lu Ningshuang in it, and hurried towards the caravan, cursing fiercely:

"What are you still standing there for? Have someone clear out the clutter in my carriage right now, and get four of the best lambskins to cover it!

"A stove! Strong liquor! Bring me some medicine for all the colds! And prepare a set of clean clothes for the little girl, soft and comfortable! Quick! Quick!"

Liu Xunfeng followed closely behind, and the team leader ran to the deputy manager of the caravan to convey the message.

"What on earth happened? Why are you walking on Huangfeng Plain with my little sister on your back? Also, this is not within the territory of Qi State. Why is my little sister here?"

After carefully placing Lu Ningshuang on the soft couch in the carriage, Qin Junxiang gave his seat to Liu Xunfeng and asked solemnly.

"It's a long story."

Liu Xunfeng shook his head and sat on the edge of the bed, preparing to undress Lu Ningshuang to wipe the wine off her face to cool her down. Suddenly, he remembered that Qin Junxiang was still there, and said tactfully:

"Young Master, why don't you go out first? It seems a bit inconvenient for you to be here."

"Oh, okay, okay," Qin Junxiang came back to his senses, opened the car door and got out, then stuck his head out again, "Do you need a maid's help?"

The purpose of traveling for business is to make money rather than enjoyment. He did not bring any maids with him, but there were many women in the caravan, some of whom were elite talents in the Qin family trading company.

"No, I can do it alone. Ningning doesn't like strangers touching her."

Liu Xunfeng closed the door, lowered the curtain, and used the lit wall lamp to wipe the liquor for Lu Ningshuang.

Qin Junxiang knew his sister's temper, so he didn't force her and told Liu Xunfeng:

"I'm outside, call me if you need anything."

Qin Junxiang stood up at the front of the car, put his fingers in his mouth and whistled, then raised his left hand with a metal arm guard.

"cracking--"

A loud and long cry came from the sky.

Not long after, a huge bird of prey approached at high speed, flapping its wings and landing on his left arm.
