Prince Lian faintly smiled and looked at Feng Yu Heng. With this sort of smile on her face and the wind and snow filling the sky, Feng Yu Heng thought that even in a two-dimensional world, it would be very difficult to create such a beautiful scene.
A certain person's weak resistance caused her to lose her reasoning once more. Tugging at the sleeve of the red dress, she gently shook it a couple times and asked her: "Why are you not coming with us?"
Prince Lian said: "I truly can't move." She pointed down, and the two people's gazes focused on her feet. Only then did they notice that during the fight, Prince Lian's shoes had been cut open by the enemy's weapon, and the socks inside had also been damaged. Her feet were just standing there in the snow, and they had turned blue from the cold.
Feng Yu Heng furrowed her brow tightly. Without even thinking, she squatted down and reached into her sleeve, pulling out a pair of wool socks from her space. "Raise your foot." She held Prince Lian's ankle and gently lifted it from the snow. Her skin had been stuck to the snow for a long time, and there was a bit of it stuck. With this lift, a piece of skin was lifted. Feng Yu Heng's heart trembled, and she felt extremely uncomfortable.
Prince Lian seemed to be able to sense the change in her heart and quickly said: "It's fine, it's fine. It doesn't hurt. Really. Ya Ya, quickly run with Ban Zou. I will just wait here. Someone will definitely come in a while. In any case, I am a prince of Qian Zhou. Even if Duan Mu An Guo hates me, he can't possibly kill me. Just don't worry. "
Feng Yu Heng personally helped her put on the socks and said in a heavy voice: "Shut your mouth!" She then stood up and ordered Ban Zou: "Carry her for a while. Even if we must separate, it should not be now. In any case, we should arrive at a safe place." While saying this, she looked around. This place was very empty. It was also in the mountains, but it was in between two mountains. The surroundings were flat, and there was not even a place to shelter from the wind. If this woman was put down like this, even if she was not killed by Duan Mu An Guo's people, she would freeze to death in this terrible weather.
In regards to Feng Yu Heng's orders, Ban Zou did not object, but after carrying Prince Lian, he could not hold back and asked: "I say, you deliberately said that you wouldn't leave for the sake of having me carry you, right?"
"Tsk!" Prince Lian swept away his previous sadness and fiercely rolled his eyes at Ban Zou, "Don't worry, this elder has no interest in you. This elder likes those gentle and considerate people who have transcended the mortal world. You? It's not even close. "
Unexpectedly, not only did her words not receive any ridicule from Ban Zou, she clearly felt the person carrying her suddenly tremble. While he was puzzled, he saw that Feng Yu Heng, who was walking beside him, also shivered. Prince Lian was puzzled. "Are you two cold?"
Feng Yu Heng pursed her lips and nodded. "Okay."
"Then I's cloak is yours." She didn't hesitate and reached out to take off her cloak.
Feng Yu Heng hurriedly held her down. "Can you stop messing around? Just obediently lie down and treat it as lessening Ban Zou's burden. Do you think it's easy to carry someone on your back in the snow? "
"But Yaya, you're cold."
"My heart is cold, and a cloak can't warm it." She decided to ignore this woman. You even like celestial beauties? Would celestial beauties like you? Although you do look quite good. Feng Yu Heng silently cursed to herself; however, the image of Xuan Tianhua still appeared in her mind. She forcefully shook her head. This was truly a nightmare! A nightmare!
Like this, the group continued to walk through the wind and snow. From dusk to dawn, and from dawn to dusk, they were constantly in a tense state. They had to avoid and deal with Duan Mu Anguo's pursuers at any moment.
Fortunately, the weather was bad. In addition to this, the terrain of the mountain was dangerous. It was not easy for the people running, and it was difficult for the people chasing. Moreover, Feng Yu Heng would occasionally throw out a few tranquilizer needles. The pursuers behind them would mysteriously fall to the ground and sleep. This also caused them to tremble in fear.
Finally, the pursuers behind them were completely shaken off, and the three walked out of the mountain pass. Prince Lian pointed at a small path and said: "Go that way. Keep walking. You will pass by a town. After passing through the town, you will arrive at your army's encampment. Yaya, hire a carriage for me in the town. I will go back on my own. You can do whatever you need to do!
Feng Yu Heng nodded and increased her pace. She knew that it was impossible to bring Prince Lian along the entire time. Being able to hire a carriage to send her back was already the best outcome. It was just that she was still a little worried; however, she could only remind her: "You should have that kind of awareness based on how you look. Find a piece of cloth and cover your face. Don't just walk around outside like this. What if you get caught by some mountain king and become the madam of the fort? I won't be able to save you."
Prince Lian nodded, "Yaya, don't worry. If anyone dares to bring me up the mountain, they can only consider themselves unlucky. I guarantee that I will torment them until they give up on the fort and run away."
Ban Zou trembled once more and nodded, expressing his agreement.
Feng Yu Heng felt that she could not speak properly with this woman. She simply gave up on consoling her; however, she said to her: "If you safely return to Song Zhou, if you still have the ability, help Fu Ya's family. In the end, it was me that harmed them. I don't hope for anything to happen to them."
"Tsk, tsk, tsk! What do you mean if I still have the ability? I am Qian Zhou's Prince Lian. How could it be that I can't even save a stinky girl. Yaya, don't worry. When I get back, I will order that old bastard, Duan Mu An Guo, to release her. "
Feng Yu Heng nodded and did not say anything else. The atmosphere was a little gloomy, but her pace increased even more.
Half a day later, the town that Prince Lian had mentioned finally appeared before them.
Ban Zou looked all around and determined the location before saying: "This should be a town between Guan Zhou and Li Zhou. In the past, it could be considered the true border, but after the three northern provinces were taken over by Dashun, this place became a normal place. Past this town is Li Zhou's territory. Deputy General Qian's army is just outside Li Zhou's city. "
Feng Yu Heng found a carriage for Prince Lian in the town and bought her a pair of shoes. Only after confirming with her that she could drive on her own did she not hire a driver.
Prince Lian sat in the carriage, holding the reins in one hand and a whip in the other. Her eyes were fixed on Feng Yu Heng, unwilling to part with her. Feng Yu Heng said: "I know that you came out in a rush and did not bring any money with you. That's why I will not calculate the cost of the socks, the carriage and the shoes that you are wearing. Just treat it as me repaying you for saving my life. Although you did not save my life and I saved you, I will not argue with you about this. Take care of yourself. "
Prince Lian was stunned: "Wasn't it said that the grace of saving a life should be repaid with a spring? Although I was unable to bring you out of the tunnel, if I had not jumped into the tunnel at the beginning, you would have been caught at the posthouse! "
Ban Zou rolled his eyes at her and coldly said: "Of course not."
"Uh …" Prince Lian scratched her head and was a little embarrassed. She then looked at Feng Yu Heng, and the mischievous look on her face finally disappeared. She lowered her head and fell silent for a while. When she raised her head again, the way she addressed her had changed, "Princess Ji An." She said, "I know that you are Princess Ji An. I also know that you hate Qian Zhou's imperial family. It's fine. I also hate them. But my surname is Feng. There are many things that I cannot do as I please. The me that you see today might not be the original me. Everything that you see can be deceiving. But I ask that you believe that I do not have any ill intentions towards you. Of course, I do have some motives, but that is not now. There will come a day when I come to beg you. I hope that when that time comes, you will not refuse me. The Feng family owes your younger brother a finger. My share … there will come a day when I will return it to you. As for the others, it would be best if you killed them all!
When she spoke of wanting Feng Yu Heng to kill off Qian Zhou's imperial family, Feng Yu Heng very clearly saw a thick hatred in this woman's eyes. She did not know why Prince Lian, who was also a member of Qian Zhou's Feng family, would have such hatred in her heart, but it was very clear that she did not want to give her an answer at this time.
She thought for a bit then nodded. She then waved her hand and said: "I'll remember it. You can leave quickly!" After saying this, she pulled Ban Zou and left.
She could faintly hear the woman shout from behind: "You must remember that I saved your life. You must remember to be grateful! Grateful! You must have a grateful heart! "
Feng Yu Heng and Ban Zou's pace increased by quite a bit!
This town was called Bian An. Ban Zou said: "This was a name that was given in the past to symbolize the peace of the border. It has not been used for over a hundred years. Now, it seems that it will be used again."
Bian An town was not large. In the entire town, there were no more than 200 families. At present, it was not yet the 15th of the first month. The streets were still very lively, and the people walking around would greet each other. With the town being small, the majority of the citizens recognized each other. There were even some that went there personally. When they met, they would chat for a while. As they chatted, the gossip began to enter their ears.
"Have you heard? The leader of the North seems to have defected to Qian Zhou. He said that he wants to return the North to Qian Zhou."
"You're returning the country's land? That Duan Mu An Guo is nothing more than an official of the Dashun court. Does he have that much power? "
"Are you an idiot! Since he has defected to the enemy, that is the same as defecting from Dashun. He is no longer an official of Dashun. Also, the majority of the citizens in the North are also people of Qian Zhou. Who knows if their hearts are with Qian Zhou. "
"Ah!" As the people were chatting, someone suddenly let out a cry of surprise. She then said with a worried expression: "My niece married into the North last year. The North has defected to the enemy. Then … what will happen to the person that married into the North?"
With her reminder, the people all realized this serious problem. Because Bian An town was very close to Guan Zhou, marriage between the two sides became a very normal phenomenon. There were many people from Bian An town that married into the North. There were also many people from the North that married into the town. After over 100 years, there were too many people of Qian Zhou's bloodline that married into the Dashun's bloodline, giving birth to children. It was as the woman had said. If the North had defected to the enemy, what would happen to the people that married into the North?
Feng Yu Heng stopped in her tracks and listened for a while; however, her brow twitched. As she saw it, this was a way to win back the hearts of the people. Duan Mu An Guo was playing the family card of Qian Zhou's bloodline. Flipping it around, her side could also play the family card of Dashun's bloodline. After so many years, the North and Dashun were still connected. How could it be so easily separated?
Feng Yu Heng felt that this idea was pretty good. Just as she was thinking about it, she saw another person from the group of citizens that were chatting join in. When that person came over, they brought a piece of big news: "Have you heard? The leader of the North has put up a notice, saying that they have captured Dashun's Princess Ji 'an!"
