Chapter 383: The Minister is Too Late to Rescue You

“Sister-in-law…”

Huo Yanran knew that Chunzhi was right, but she was in a foreign country, in such a critical situation, with the heavy snow covering everything. She couldn't even see the direction of her hometown.

The little princess and her sister-in-law fled together for several days, relying on each other. No matter how dangerous the situation was, they felt a little more at ease as long as they saw each other by their side.

But now, Sister Lian has to go into danger alone.

Huo Yanran felt uneasy.

She put the letter arrow back into Chunzhi's hand and said, "If we want to distract those people, it's my turn to go."

When Chunzhi heard the little princess say this, she simply asked her, "Can you ride a horse?"

Huo Yanran was speechless for a moment.

The little princess grew up in the deep palace for seventeen years, and she had only left the palace a few times, so how could she learn to ride a horse?

"Okay, now's not the time to argue about who's going to go. Just stay here and wait for me to come back to you."

Chunzhi comforted Huo Yanran for a long time. Now was not the time to talk. If she delayed any longer, the rebel army would search the mountains and come here.

She firmly believed that she and Huo Yanran were both lucky people and would never die in a foreign land.

Xiao Xinghui and Huo Zheng were still waiting for her.

Huo Yanran also knew that she couldn't waste her sister-in-law's time any longer, so she nodded with tears in her eyes.

Chunzhi touched the little princess's head, walked out of the cave, and covered the entrance with dead branches.

The carriage stopped a hundred steps away, and the horse rested for a while to recover some strength.

Chunzhi drove away from the mountain, hoping that the snow would get heavier and heavier, completely covering up any traces of her stay there.

"There she is!"

After Chunzhi walked out of the mountain, the rebel troops who had followed her discovered her, and more and more people chased after her.

After Chunzhi drove the carriage for a short distance, she saw that the rebel army was about to catch up with her. She made a quick decision and cut the rope connecting the carriage with a dagger, threw away the cumbersome carriage, jumped on the horse, and rode quickly in the snow.

The road ahead is dark and I can't see anything.

The chaotic troops behind were in pursuit.

Chunzhi kept running forward, running with all her might.

In the dark night, the mountains and rivers are vast.

Before marrying Huo Zheng, she always thought that she would spend her life in the small town of Linshui, living a stable and ordinary life.

I never thought that one day I would be fleeing in the heavy snow in a foreign country.

His life was in danger, but he had no regrets.

She has loved and hated, given up and fought for everything in her life, and there is nothing to regret.

Chunzhi, dressed in red, is flying across the white snow, the brightest color in the world.

The chaotic troops behind chased after her bravely, never expecting that a woman from Daxing had such good riding skills. They chased her for most of the night, covering more than 200 miles, from dusk to dawn.

As they were getting closer, they began to shoot arrows at the horses.

Chunzhi rode his horse to dodge several times, but was finally shot in the horse's butt. Instead of stopping, the horse ran away madly.

Chunzhi was almost exhausted and could not hold the horse anymore, so she could only hold on to the horse forcibly and let it gallop with her in the snow.

The flying snow and strong wind whistled past my ears.

The chaotic troops behind were chasing and shouting, and Chunzhi could not hear anything.

When the horse was exhausted and fell to the ground, throwing her out, she seemed to see a dark shadow rushing towards her.

The imagined great pain did not come.

Chunzhi was caught steadily and held in someone's arms. She opened her eyes wide and saw Huo Zheng appear before her like a god.

It's like a dream.

"Huo Qi..."

Chunzhi raised her hand to touch Huo Zheng's face. It was cool with a hint of warmth.

"I am here."

Huo Zheng responded in a low voice, picked up Chunzhi with one hand, and drew his sword with the other to knock the chasing soldiers off their horses.

Blood splattered three feet away, dyeing the snow red.

Then a group of secret guards also rushed over and rushed forward to fight with the chaotic army.

In an instant, it was dawn.

Chunzhi also came back to her senses from what seemed like a dream, and was sure that Huo Zheng was right in front of her. "I'm so glad you're okay."

Chunzhi, who hadn't shed a tear in days of fleeing, now had tears welling up in Huo Zheng's arms. She was already a little unconscious and pointed in the direction she had come from. "Hurry, hurry up and save Yanran. She...she's in a cave..."

After saying this, Chunzhi fainted.

"Okay." Huo Zheng hugged Chunzhi and kissed her forehead. He looked at the chaotic troops rushing towards him with a look of despair. "This strong snowstorm is the perfect time to bury people."

He solemnly ordered the secret guards, "If anyone dares to hunt down my princess, let them all die here!"

"yes!"

The secret guards responded in unison, raising their swords and killing as many rebel soldiers as they came.

The snow was vast and blood was flowing everywhere.

And in the cave on the other side.

Not long after Chunzhi left, Huo Yanran walked out of the cave and released the signal arrow.

Chunzhi drove away in a carriage to lure away the rebel troops. The little princess released the signal arrow to gamble whether the first group of people she saw arriving were theirs or Beili's rebel troops.

Huo Yanran thought about it and decided that it would be best if their people arrived first, but if not, she would accept it.

As long as there is a chance to save her sister-in-law, she will try it.

Even if it was the Beili rebel army that came, Huo Yanran would try to negotiate with them in her capacity as Princess Daxing and ask them to let her sister-in-law go.

Golden fireworks exploded in the air, shining brightly against the vast snow.

The little princess folded her hands and made a wish:

May God bless me.

Huo Yanran sat in the snow for a long time, until her body became cold and she was almost unconscious, before she heard the sound of horse hooves in the wind and snow.

The sound of horse hooves seemed to come from a dream.

Huo Yanran closed her eyes, afraid that when she opened them she would find that there was still nothing in front of her, only endless wind and snow.

However, the sound of horse hooves was getting closer and closer.

Finally, it stopped in front of her.

"Princess!" Liu Yan's voice rang in her ears, "I'm sorry for being late in coming to your rescue, and I frightened you."

Huo Yanran suddenly opened her eyes and saw Liu Yan right in front of her.

The wind and snow in the north are urging people to exercise. Even the unparalleled Liu Tanhua becomes unruly and unrestrained after traveling in such a place.

But no matter how shabby his clothes are or how hurried he looks, he is still the man she loves for the first time and the man of her dreams that she falls in love with at first sight.

When the signal arrow was released and the fireworks exploded, Huo Yanran made a wish to God, asking God to bless her, and she didn't dare to think that she would see Liu Yan at this time.

"Liu Yan..."

Huo Yanran suddenly stood up and wanted to hug Liu Yan.

However, because he had been frozen in the wind and snow for too long, his legs and feet were numb and he could not even stand steadily. He fell down as soon as he stood up.

Liu Yan stretched out his arms and hugged the princess. Lord Liu, who had always been self-disciplined and respectful, no longer cared about the rules and etiquette at this moment.

He hugged his princess as if she were a treasure, and said in a low voice: "It is you who has arrived."
