Su Luo pulled Yi Huan behind her and stood in front of their camp.

Upon seeing Su Luo and her group, the leaders stopped, and one of them rode up to Su Luo and asked.

"The inn is just ahead. You're camping in the snow with a child, why don't we take you there?"

The man who came over was quite young and kind-hearted.

Su Luo leaned forward slightly: "We can't go any further. There was an avalanche just three kilometers ahead, so we have to camp here."

The man frowned and rode his horse back to the leader.

"Your Highness, they say there has been an avalanche ahead."

The leader then turned around and glanced at Su Luo and the others before speaking.

"Send one person to scout ahead, the rest of you stay put and rest."

"yes!"

"An army is resting here," Su Luo said to Xie Wanwan.

"Wanwan, you stay here and watch over Yihuan. I'm going to the mountain behind to gather some firewood."

Just from the fact that the general had said he would take them to the post station, Su Luo knew that these people were gentlemen.

"Alright, Madam Su, be careful."

Having decided to camp here, Su Zuo unloaded the carriage and tied the horses to one side so they could rest.

Xie Wanwan and Yi Huan could only rely on a small charcoal fire that was brought down from the carriage for warmth.

Su Luo carried a lantern and went up a mountain stream. The stream had water, which had melted the snow nearby, making it easier to walk.

There were also many broken branches on the ground, but they were fresh branches. She wanted to find dry branches, as they would burn better when used for fire.

The lantern in her hand was too cumbersome, so Su Luo put it aside and took out a flashlight from her spatial storage. This made it much easier to see.

After gathering some firewood, and walking uphill for about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, Su Luo, using the light of her flashlight, saw steam rising from the mountain stream.

Upon closer inspection, I reached into the water and saw that it was a hot spring, a hot spring in the snow.

Smelling her arm where the soup had been poured, Su Luo could still smell a hint of duck. Once Yi Huan and the others were asleep, she decided to wash up here.

It was a bit of a distance from where they were to set up camp. Su Luo carried the firewood, put the flashlight into her spatial storage, picked up the lantern, and headed back.

"Mom, these are pancakes Huanhuan just baked. I'm saving them for you."

While Su Luo was gathering firewood, Yi Huan, fearing Su Luo would be hungry, gave her all the baked cakes first.

"Huanhuan, eat first. Mom isn't hungry yet."

Give the firewood to Su Zuo; leave the task of starting a fire to Su Zuo.

With an official road as the dividing line, the group sitting opposite Su Luo and the others had also returned, as had the scouts they had sent out.

"Reporting to the lieutenant, the road ahead has been blocked by a snow avalanche."

"Okay, you can go now."

Chi Yi removed his armor and said to the people behind him, "Your Highness, the official road is blocked by snow. It will only be cleared tomorrow."

"Let the brothers set up camp where they are! We'll set off again tomorrow."

The army is indeed a well-trained army; they set up camp in the time it takes to drink two cups of tea.

Su Luo and the others had already started a fire and were eating dry rations when they began to gather firewood.

"Mom, has Huanhuan seen that uncle before? He seems so familiar to Huanhuan."

Yi Huan pointed to the leader of the army. She wasn't sure if she knew him, so she could only whisper to Su Luo.

“There are many people in the world who look alike. Sometimes they may seem familiar, but we may not have seen them before. Besides, I don’t know such a general.”

"But……"

Yi Huan also wanted to say that the uncle gave her a very special feeling, even a bit of warmth, and she wasn't scared at all.

"Huanhuan, let's eat. After we finish eating, we'll rest. Those soldiers are from Nanning; they won't hurt us."

The person who came to question Su Luo and the others was wearing the cotton-padded clothes that Su Luo and the others had made at Wanxiu Pavilion.

They recognized the style of clothing; these people must be soldiers from the Nanning Kingdom returning to the capital from Beichuan City.

Late at night, Su Luo stayed with Yi Huan until she fell asleep before leaving.

With so many people here, for safety reasons, Su Zuo stood guard outside the tent until midnight.

"Lady Su, aren't you going to rest?"

"Okay! I'm going out for a bit. I'll take over the second half of the night shift when I get back."

"It's alright, madam. There are so many people across from us. I'm not afraid at all."

Each of the tents opposite had two guards outside, so they weren't worried about wild animals attacking them.

"Thanks for your hard work!"

When Su Luo left, she only took a small lantern with her. Since she was a woman, everyone assumed she was going to find a place to relieve herself and was too embarrassed to look.

Su Luo had clothes in her space. She walked to the hot spring she had discovered, put down a lantern, and the dim light was enough for her to change.

After taking off her clothes, Su Luo slowly walked to the hot spring pool in the mountain stream. The water here was flowing. She took out a plant-based soap from her spatial storage and washed off the smell of old duck soup.

Su Luo's disgust only disappeared when she felt completely fragrant.

Soaking in the hot spring, Su Luo sighed, marveling at the fact that there was such a hot spring in this deserted wilderness. She wondered if she should come here and build a manor in the future.

If more sites are developed, different hot springs will surely be discovered. Soaking in hot springs can not only improve health and promote blood circulation, but also assist in the treatment of some diseases.

A hot spring resort sounds like a great project.

Su Luo was planning how to make use of her surroundings when she suddenly felt something grab her legs.

After continuous probing, Su Luo considered a hundred possibilities. It was winter, so it couldn't be a snake, and snakes couldn't possibly survive in hot springs.

This feeling, and the touch, like a hand.

These legs were a taboo for Su Luo, and a surge of anger instantly welled up in her heart. She kicked out directly, but unexpectedly missed.

The water splashed and splashed, and suddenly a person appeared, an unfamiliar face.

The man's eyes were sharp, and the slightly reddened corners of his eyes lifted slightly, his gaze seeming to cut through the air.

Their eyes met, and the atmosphere between them was electric. Su Luo's hand, which was underwater, had already summoned a dagger from the space.

Her body moved as she pleased, and she was about to kill the man.

As she stood up, a cold wind blew, and Su Luo realized with a start that she was completely naked.

It's truly a case of a business failing halfway through, leaving only the option of returning to the hot springs.

"I saw nothing."

The man's face flushed slightly; he had not only seen it, but he had also touched it.

"Turn around!" Su Luo roared.

The man turned around, picked up his clothes, and dressed himself.

Taking advantage of this moment, Su Luo directly entered the space, using the time difference within the space to quickly get dressed. When she re-entered the space, it was only a moment.

The dagger was aimed at the man's neck; one strike would be enough to kill him.

Nangong Chiyu turned his head. This woman exuded murderous aura and moved even faster than him.

He tilted his body and easily dodged Su Luo's attack.
