Chapter 1681 Snowman

Chapter 1681 Snowman

The two people ran farther and farther away.

Gradually, he shook off the guards behind him.

Nan Yan looked at the wasteland in front of her and saw something appear.

After the snow fell, the surroundings were covered with a vast expanse of white snow. Apart from the occasional dark hills and rocks, almost nothing else could be seen. Nan Yan could only follow Zhu Feng and move forward, as she had no way of identifying the direction.

However, a silver-blue color appeared among the white snow.

What is that?

Nan Yan squinted her eyes in the wind, carefully identifying the things in front of her, but saw Zhu Feng squeezed his legs against the horse's belly, increased the speed, and galloped forward at lightning speed.

Nan Yan naturally refused to admit defeat.

He quickly raised his arm and swung the whip in the air, and there was a sound of whipping wind.

She shouted, "Go!"

The steed under him received the order and galloped forward even harder. It had been left a little distance behind by Zhu Feng, but it quickly caught up with him and even started to keep pace with him.

Zhu Feng turned to look at her, his eyebrows slightly raised, his eyes seemed to say: Not bad.

Nan Yan also raised her eyebrows at him.

Zhu Feng laughed, turned his head and looked forward, then said loudly: "Don't be so proud yet, we'll talk about it when we get there!"

After saying this, he urged his horse on and whipped it vigorously.

At this time, they climbed up a small slope. Although the slope here was not very steep, the horse only needed a little effort to jump up. But after crossing the top of the slope, they found that there was a higher slope on the other side.

Although Zhu Feng was determined to win, he couldn't help but slow down at this moment and turned around and said, "Be careful——"

As soon as the word "point" came out of his mouth, he heard a long neigh from a strong horse behind him.

With her eyes wide open, she saw Nan Yan spurring her horse forward and leaping down. The horse's muscular body and her long hair flying high drew a graceful arc in the air. This leap was almost several feet away.

It’s like flying high!

Zhu Feng was startled, but Nan Yan overtook him immediately. She continued to gallop forward, turning back to smile at him and saying, "Your Majesty, if you catch up with me, I can promise you something!"

"you--"

Zhu Feng was both angry and amused by her move, and his competitive spirit was aroused.

He immediately squeezed the horse's belly and said, "Go!"

Suddenly, the two horses galloped on the sloping hillside, like two lightning bolts on the snow. Sometimes you passed me, sometimes I passed you. After a while, we gradually approached the blue place.

When I got closer, I saw that it was actually a lake!

The surface of the lake was completely frozen, like a whole piece of fine jade, inlaid in the white snow, exceptionally warm and eye-catching.

Nan Yan had been "locked up" in the Duwei Mansion for so many days, and it was rare for her to see such a scenery. In addition, she had been riding her horse at a fast speed for a while, and she was already very excited. At this time, the horse was running fast, and her mind was running even faster. She almost threw herself onto the lake.

We were getting closer and closer to the icy blue lake.

Feeling that the horse was almost unable to stop and was rushing forward, Nan Yan grabbed the reins with both hands, circled them, tightened them, and pulled back hard.

The horse under him let out a long neigh.

At the same time, beside her, Zhu Feng and the horse he was riding stood up, with the sound of horse hooves flying, stirring up a cloud of snow mist.

The two of them stopped at the same time.

When the horse landed, Nan Yan's body swayed a bit, and then she turned to look at Zhu Feng, only to see that he was also smiling, looking at her with concern: "How is it?"

"Your Majesty... not bad."

Zhu Feng originally wanted to ask her if she was tired, but Nan Yan deliberately misinterpreted his words as asking about his riding skills.

Deliberately "evaluating" him like this.

Zhu Feng was both angry and amused. He had been on the battlefield for so many years, but now it was her turn to "criticize" him. He smiled and said, "Well, thank you for the compliment!"

The two men laughed and dismounted.

It was different here than in the city. Although the snow was heavy, there were people cleaning up the snow in the Duwei Mansion, so the snow didn't accumulate too thickly. But the snow here was almost above the calves. Once it hit the ground, the two people seemed to have taken root.

Nan Yan had been riding the horse for so long and was a little tired.

I can hardly even lift my legs.

"Ouch, ouch..."

Seeing her like this, Zhu Feng laughed again, walked over with one foot deep and one foot shallow, and held her hand: "Be careful, follow me."

Nan Yan grabbed his hand and finally pulled her legs out of the snow.

Walking a little further, the snow here was a little thinner, so we could move freely. After a while, we reached the lake and saw a large expanse of icy blue ice under our feet.

Crystal clear.

When the sun shines on it, you can even see the slowly flowing lake water under the ice.

Nan Yan couldn't help but say, "How beautiful!"

Zhu Feng smiled and held her hand, strolling slowly by the lake, just like strolling among the flowers in the imperial garden in spring, leisurely and comfortable.

He also laughed and said, "There is no such scenery in the city."

"certainly,"

Nan Yan looked at the ice for a while, then suddenly remembered something and said, "Your Majesty showed me a map of this area before, but why doesn't this lake seem to be marked on the map?"

As she spoke, she raised her head and looked around.

The area of ​​this lake is not small.

At least at this moment, the transparent blue ice surface under your feet seems to have no end in sight.

Zhu Feng said: "This lake is alive."

"Alive?"

"Well, most of the time, there's no lake here, just a wasteland. But sometimes, water comes out from the ground and forms this lake."

"Is there anything like this?"

Nan Yan opened her eyes wide in surprise.

Not to mention that she had never seen such scenery, she had also never heard of such a strange story.

She looked at it for a while, then turned to look at Zhu Feng: "Your Majesty, how did you know this?"

Zhu Feng was so angry that he laughed and said, "Ye Zheng is here to guard Shazhou Guard. How could he not know? If he knew, how could he not tell me?"

"Oh, that's right."

Nan Yan herself laughed.

Zhu Feng looked at her and said with a smile: "Have you been blown away by the cold wind here recently? Why have you become so stupid?"

“…”

Nan Yan glared at him and ignored him.

At this time, the sound of horse hooves came from behind. It was the guards who accompanied them, who caught up breathlessly. However, when they saw the emperor and the imperial concubine walking hand in hand by the lake, they were smart enough not to dare to come up.

He dismounted from his horse at a distance and stood there waiting.

The two of them walked slowly hand in hand. Although it was covered with snow and ice, they didn't feel cold at all.

After walking for a while, Nan Yan felt a little strange.

Could it be that he was planning to take only me for a stroll in this snowy world?

Just as I was thinking about it, I heard Zhu Feng say, "Can you make a snowman?"
