This is the first time for Qinglan to see such a big snowstorm, the vast expanse of whiteness, the world has no distinction, the whole world can't feel anything except the cold that pierces into the flesh and blood, gradually even the cold is gone, the rest It hurts, every inch of exposed skin hurts, and every bone in the body wrapped in cotton clothes hurts.

The fire around him was small and powerless in front of the snowstorm. Even though it was more than ten feet away from the entrance of the cave, it was still shaken by the blowing, and had to be extinguished by the blowing snow several times.

"It's too cold..." Qing Lan shivered, leaning against Tang Ling, "Master, are you okay? Why don't you go back first? I'll wait here."

Tang Ling shook her head, he didn't leave, he wanted to wait for Qi Xiao to come back.

Qing Lan looked at Tang Ling's pale face, her cheeks were red and purple from the wind and snow. If this continues, Qi Xiao may be fine, but Tang Ling will get sick first.

"Son..."

"I'll go find it!" Chi Yue who had been sitting in the corner suddenly stood up, "Qing Lan will take your son back to the valley.

If His Highness finds Mr. Tang sick when he comes back, we will all be punished. "

"can not go!"

Tang Ling called Chi Yue to stop, and Bai Xiqiao also stood up, holding Chi Yue back: "It's such a big snowstorm, where are you going to find someone?!"

Chi Yue gritted his teeth, and asked coldly: "It's been four days and three nights, and the wind and snow haven't stopped, so we just waited like this? Aren't you His Highness's brother? Are you not in a hurry?"

Chi Yue turned around and glanced at Tang Ling, as if he was also asking him, are you not in a hurry?

How can you not be in a hurry? !Tang Ling was so anxious!But there was nothing he could do.

This is not a matter of "man can conquer nature".

Four days ago, the sky was clear and clear, and the breeze in the valley was like spring. Although it was ice and snow outside the valley, there was no snow, and the wind was sunny.

Qi Xiao took a group of people to the cellar where the grain was stored and came back to fetch food. Zong Sheng and Bai Xiqiao followed. The snowy road was difficult. They walked for three hours on the original one-hour route, but they didn't meet anyone along the way. What's up.

When they came back, Baixiqiao was leading the way, Qi Xiao and Zong Sheng stayed behind, and suddenly it started to blow and snow halfway. People tie people, take what you can carry and march quickly, and don't take what you can't take.

Baixiqiao responded with a roar, took a bag of dry food on his back, and left with the people.

The wind and snow were getting bigger and bigger, and after a while, you couldn't see your fingers. If it weren't for the people in the front and back who were tied with hemp ropes, you would really think that you were the last person left in this world, and everything else had been buried by the wind and snow.

Before Baixiqiao finished expressing his emotions, someone in the back team fell, and the people in front didn't know what happened, but they were all held back by the hemp rope around their waists. Baixiqiao waited for a while, and shouted loudly: " What happened? Is everything all right?"

"say!"

"Hey!"

"Something went wrong!"

Someone in the middle of the team stepped into the air and fell into the ditch. Fortunately, he was pulled up, but only after he was pulled up did he realize that the people behind him had disappeared, and he didn't know when he lost it.

Baixiqiao counted the number of people, and seventeen people were missing, including Qi Xiao and Zong Sheng.

The wind and snow turned into a monster, and at some point swallowed Bai Xiqiao and others into his stomach. The whiteness in front of him suddenly made Bai Xiqiao feel a bone-chilling cold, like death.

Baixiqiao only hesitated for a moment, and immediately ordered to pack up and move on, at least to bring back the people around him, and only after he went back could he ask for help.

If you look back now, it will only cause trouble for Qi Xiao.

There was no road at all in the snowstorm, not only was there no road, the violent wind and snow even blocked all five senses, one could not see anything but the snow, could not hear anything except the sound of the wind, and their hands and feet were numb from the cold. He was able to repeat the movement of raising his legs and walking forward. It was already very difficult to breathe, and no one spoke.

When running around in Fenglin Mountain before, Qi Xiao and Baixi Bridge would use Han Chenzong's mark as a mark and engrave it on the tree trunk, so as not to get lost.

When they entered the mountain to open the way, they encountered two rains. Qi Xiao thought that the marks carved by the knife were too inconspicuous. It might not matter that he and Baixiqiao had good eyesight, but it was too reluctant for other soldiers, so they used axes instead. Cut a triangular notch directly into the trunk.

Thanks to this, Baixi Bridge was able to touch the trunks of trees one by one, barely found the way back, and returned to the camp before it was completely dark.

But it was getting dark, and the wind and snow had no intention of stopping at all, they couldn't leave the camp, and they couldn't go out to find Qi Xiao.

Bai Xiqiao didn't dare to tell Tang Ling that Qi Xiao was missing. In the Fenglin Mountain where the wind and snow were torn apart, he disappeared and his life and death were unknown.

Tang Ling lives in the valley, while Qi Xiao has been living in the camp with other people. He can't stay with Tang Ling all the time, nest in a comfortable place, and let his soldiers suffer and suffer, but Qi Xiao will come into the valley every day Deliver dinner to Tang Ling, and if he can't go because of something, someone will send a message so that Tang Ling can feel at ease.

Tang Ling hadn't seen Qi Xiao for two days, and Baixiqiao couldn't hide it, so she told the truth.

The wind and snow outside didn't stop, they couldn't go out, and Qi Xiao never came back.

On the third night of Qi Xiao's disappearance, the wind and snow stopped for a while, but in the middle of the night, they still couldn't go out. They only hoped that the sky would clear up on the fourth day, but just after the fourth watch, the wind and snow became arrogant again. A dead zone.

What Baixiqiao didn't expect was that it wasn't Tang Ling who couldn't help clamoring to go out to find someone first, but Chi Yue.

Qi Xiao disappeared, and Zong Sheng didn't come back either!

"No, I'll go out and look for it, I'll go out alone.

Other people's lightness kung fu is far behind me, so it's useless to follow.

I'll just go for three hours. If I don't come back, then there's no need to send someone out. "

Chi Yue still wants to go out.

Baixiqiao pulled him back and said fiercely, "Why are you crazy?!"

"If you lose His Highness, I, Chi Yue, will lose my head."

Lost Zong Sheng, he is meaningless to live!

"Don't make trouble! Xiao'er and the others have dry food on them, just find a place to hide, there will be water when the snow melts, they will never die of hunger or thirst! When the snow stops, they will come back by themselves!"

"Nonsense! Of course that would be the best! But the last person in your team fell into the snowy abyss and was forced to pull up. What if His Highness also fell into it?! You tie everyone to a rope, in case His Highness can't get down in time Get away and be involved?! Not to mention the ice and snow, but usually when the mountain is not covered by heavy snow, if you fall into it and there is no rescue, you are waiting for death! What's more in this kind of weather! If your highness falls unconscious for a while, you will be killed Buried alive in the snow!"

"Chi Yue!" Tang Ling growled, clenched her fists, trembling involuntarily, "...No.

Both he and Zong Sheng are very skilled, so nothing will happen. "

If it is true as Chi Yue said, it has been four days, and Qi Xiao's body has already been frozen... No way!

Tang Ling was panting heavily, no, he didn't dare to think in the worst direction, no, he had to believe that Qi Xiao had the ability to protect himself and turn danger into safety!

It's been less than a month since they entered the mountain, and they haven't even reached the border of Qi State. Fenglin Mountain is only the first difficulty, and Qi Xiao will never and can't just admit defeat here!

"Chi Yue, sit down and wait."

"..." Chi Yue gritted his teeth, how could he wait any longer!He's going crazy!

Tang Ling looked at Chi Yue's anxious appearance, as if she had suddenly realized something. When Chi Yue was ten years old, he was able to lurk and endure in the capital for a year. How could he be so irritable?Chi Yue always smiles, a smile that is hard to distinguish between real and fake, when did you get anxious?Who is he worrying about?Who are you afraid of?

Tang Ling's body shook slightly, and Qing Lan hurriedly supported him: "My lord, let's go back and have a rest..."

Tang Ling shook her head, her eyes returned to the entrance of the cave.

The snow at the entrance of the cave was almost half the height of a person.

Looks like it was shoveled not too long ago.

It was white outside, I couldn't even see the sky, and my eyes were full of groggy. Qinglan only knew that they had been waiting at the entrance of this cave for a long, long, long time, but she didn't know how long it was, half a day?one day?or even longer?

Now only God knows when the snowstorm will stop, but I am afraid that even God does not know when Qi Xiao will come back.

The anxious people were not limited to Tang Ling and the others. The six thousand soldiers that Qi Xiao brought into Fenglin Mountain were equally worried, their commander was lost.

Lu Xiulin is a good leader of the troops. In order not to let the morale of the soldiers get too low, and talk about frustration all day long, Lu Xiulin gave them tasks, such as resting the camp, making sleds, counting food reserves, and exploring the mountains, so that they all get busy. If you are not busy enough, you can do bunny squats, and sleep until you are exhausted.

But even so, the soldiers still couldn't stop talking in private.

There was depression, but unexpectedly, they talked more about King Qi Xiao of Chu. They had never seen such a prince who likes to do everything by himself, and is not afraid of suffering.

Can't the centurion do the job of going out of the camp to get food?He wants to go himself.

If he hadn't said to cut a gap in the tree trunk along the way, how would they have found their way back to camp?If he hadn't ordered everyone to be chained together, the little soldier who had stepped into the air would be buried in the ground by now, how could he hide beside his companion and cry?If it wasn't for him, everyone probably wouldn't be able to come back in such a blizzard.

If it were this person, their 6000 people might really be able to fight a beautiful victory and let the world know about the Dingyuan Army. Even if General Bai Liu is gone, the Dingyuan Army is still a lion that can shake the world!They can also have a day when they will stand out and become princes and prime ministers!

Just thinking like this makes people feel more sad and hate themselves for being helpless.

Chi couldn't sit still anymore, and walked towards the entrance of the cave again.

"Chi Yue! Come back!" Bai Xiqiao hurried forward, almost hitting someone.

Chi Yue turned his head and glared at Bai Xiqiao: "I'm not going out! I'm shoveling snow!"

After that, Chi Yue picked up the shovel against the stone wall and went to the entrance of the cave to shovel away the snow.

A shovel seems to be able to let more wind and snow rush into the cave, screaming and howling.
