Su Jin vaguely remembered that Wang Shuyi was someone Zhou Lin met on the battlefield. The two had gone through life and death together and shared hardships, so their feelings for each other were very deep.

Wang Shuyi glanced at Su Jinxia, ​​her eyes slightly lowered, and explained, "I am, but I've never seen such a beautiful sunrise before."

Su Jinxia still didn't understand. When it comes to beauty, the scenery of the North is not comparable to that of the Central Plains, and it's not just the sunrise that's beautiful.

"The princess has probably lived here for so long that she has overlooked the beauty of the North."

Wang Shuyi's expression froze for a moment, then she echoed Su Jin's meaning, "That's true."

Su Jin looked at Wang Shuyi, feeling very strange. Had she overlooked something?

"mother!"

Zhou Li woke up and struggled in Zhou Chen's arms, wanting her mother, while mumbling, "I need to pee..."

Wang Shuyi lifted her heavy skirt and went over.

Seeing that she was having difficulty walking, Su Jin stepped forward and said, "Your Highness, please rest. I'll go help the child relieve himself."

Wang Shuyi glanced at Su Jin with gratitude.

Su Jin walked over quickly, took the child from Zhou Chen's arms, and walked a few steps away.

"Fourteenth Prince, come here." Wang Shuyi beckoned to Zhou Chen.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Chen strode over and asked, "What is it, Your Highness?"

Wang Shuyi, with a cryptic expression, slowly walked to the edge of the cliff and looked up to feel the warmth of the blazing sun.

Zhou Chen followed her gaze. The sunrise was beautiful, but why had she called him over?

Just as Zhou Chen was wondering, Wang Shuyi suddenly spoke up, "Was it you who made the Prince change his mind?"

Zhou Chen was taken aback. Had his brother considered changing his mind? But...

"He has already mustered his troops overnight and is ready to depart."

“He wouldn’t have sent troops if Ali and I hadn’t been held hostage,” Wang Shuyi said.

Zhou Chen's eyes flickered, a slight pang of sorrow in his heart. "Your Highness is blaming me for bringing disaster upon you."

Without Zhou Chen's persuasion, Zhou Lin would not have changed his mind, and Wang Shuyi and Zhou Li would not have been taken hostage.

Wang Shuyi suddenly smiled softly.

Zhou Chen was puzzled. "Did I say something wrong?"

Wang Shuyi didn't respond to Zhou Chen's words, but changed the subject instead, "Zhou Lin is different from me. He loves the scenery of this border region. What about you? You are his younger brother from the same mother. Do you like it?"

Zhou Chen frowned deeply, unable to keep up with Wang Shuyi's leaping thoughts.

But Zhou Chen followed Wang Shuyi's gaze, looking at the distant mountain range and the brilliant sunlight, and sincerely replied, "I like it because it tastes like freedom."

Wang Shuyi laughed again, "No wonder they're brothers. He also said that he's a free eagle here, so he loves this land."

"Since you like him too, why don't you stay and stay with him forever!"

Suddenly, Wang Shuyi's pupils contracted, her gaze turned fierce, and she shoved Zhou Chen hard.

Zhou Chen was standing on the edge of the cliff when he was pushed so hard that he fell straight down the cliff.

"Ah Chen!"

Su Jin shouted and rushed over like a gust of wind. She pushed Wang Shuyi aside with one hand, grabbed Zhou Chen's arm with the other, and threw Zhou Chen up with all her might.

However, the immense inertia caused Su Jin to lose control of her body, and she flew directly off the cliff.

When Zhou Chen turned around, he saw Su Jin falling towards the bottom of the cliff, rolling through the snow, and disappearing without a trace in an instant.

"elder sister!"

Zhou Chen rushed to the edge of the cliff, both anxious and frightened!

Wang Shuyi, lying in the snow, was also startled by this turn of events. Su Jinxia had taken good care of her along the way, and she had no intention of harming Su Jinxia.

Zhou Chen's eyes suddenly reddened, and he glared fiercely at Wang Shuyi. Suddenly, he rushed forward and grabbed Wang Shuyi's neck, demanding, "What are you doing?"

Wang Shuyi suddenly found it hard to breathe, slapping Zhou Chen's hand, her eyes filled with intense hatred, "You...you deserve to die!"

Zhou Chen was shocked. He and Wang Shuyi were complete strangers. Why did Wang Shuyi harbor such deep hatred for him?

At this moment, Zhou Li also ran over, crying and hitting Zhou Chen, "Let go of my mother, you bad person, let go of my mother!"

Zhou Chen released her, but after thinking for a moment, he tore off a piece of his clothing and used it to tie Wang Shuyi's hands together. He said, "I don't care what deep-seated hatred you have for me right now. Just come with me to find my sister, or else... don't even think about seeing your daughter again!"

Zhou Chen pulled the crying Zhou Li into his arms, his expression full of threat.

Wang Shuyi felt extremely sorry for Zhou Li, who was being treated so rudely.

Zhou Chen showed no mercy, grabbed the rope binding Wang Shuyi, and started walking down the mountain.

Wang Shuyi stumbled as she was pulled, but she still obediently followed.

On the other side, because the cliff was too steep and the snow was too thick, and there was nothing to climb, Su Jin rolled all the way down, turning herself into a big snowball. After rushing over several hills, she finally came to a slow stop.

Su Jin felt dizzy and her vision blurred; all she could see were tiny, glittering stars. It took a long, long time for her mind to clear. Afterward, it took her a great deal of effort to escape from the snowball.

Looking around, all you could see was a vast expanse of snow; even the mountain that had rolled down was nowhere to be seen.

Su Jin was a little confused...

Fortunately, the sun was still out, and Su Jin was still able to discern directions. After resting for a while, she returned the way she came.

But what Su Jin didn't know was that this roll had sent her rolling very far!

After walking for half a day, it was already dark.

"Gurgle~"

Su Jin rubbed her rumbling stomach. She was both cold and hungry, but there was nothing in this vast snowfield. Occasionally, one or two wild animals would dart by, but there was no fire and no water. She couldn't very well eat raw food.

Suddenly, a branch was hidden in the snow. Su Jin tripped over it and fell to the ground. Her eyelids felt heavy, and she longed to take a nap.

But she knew very well that she couldn't sleep, or she would freeze to death here.

After a while, Su Jin struggled to get up from the snow and dragged her heavy steps aimlessly.

The winter night was incredibly long, and Su Jin finally couldn't hold on any longer and collapsed to the ground.

The next day, the sun rose as usual, and the warm sunlight shone on Su Jinxia.

Su Jin's eyes kept darting around under her eyelids, but she didn't wake up for a long time. She was struggling, fighting against the exhaustion and powerlessness in her body.

She even had thoughts that she was really going to die, and even the Gu Mother couldn't save her.

However, she has not yet defeated Zhou Ji, eliminated the hidden danger for Shen Qianxue, or secured eternal peace for Liuli Village. She cannot die yet!

Finally, Su Jin opened her eyes, but everything was pitch black.

Is it still dark?

Su Jin thought subconsciously, but she clearly felt the warmth of the sunlight.

Su Jin opened her eyes wide and searched for the light.

"ah!"

A sudden flash of light appeared before my eyes, but it was followed by a sharp, stinging pain.

Su Jin took a while to recover before opening her eyes again, but everything was even darker.

Su Jin vaguely remembered a condition called snow blindness, which causes temporary blindness when walking in the snow for a long time.

Su Jin was so angry that she grabbed a handful of snow and threw it out. How was she supposed to get out of there?
