Chapter 469 Fall

"There seems to be a group of people next to our team."

"oh?"

After hearing this, Zhu Feng raised his eyebrows and lifted the curtain to take a look outside.

Outside, it was still pitch black.

On the vast snowy plain, only the sound of their horses' hooves and wheels could be heard, reaching far away, but nothing else could be seen. Ye Zheng rode alongside the carriage and said, "This is the report from the guards on both sides."

“…”

"They are not too far away from us, almost moving at the same pace as us."

“…”

Zhu Feng pondered for a moment and nodded: "It seems that this is the person who cut the stone."

“…”

"He must recover the body."

“…”

"Pass the order down, advance at full speed, without stopping for a moment."

"yes!"

"And..." Zhu Feng pondered for a moment, then continued, "Since Jie Shi is secretly forging weapons, his subordinates are not ordinary warriors guarding the palace, but are most likely well-trained palace soldiers."

“…”

"Let's get everyone ready!"

"yes!"

Ye Zheng immediately rode forward and gave orders.

Then, the team galloped forward faster. Nan Yan, sitting in the carriage, could hear the horse drivers outside whipping the air with a whirring sound, the horses' hooves crushing the ice and snow, and raising a long white tail in the dark night.

Not far from the city of Peking, a slowly moving team stopped because its wheels got stuck in an ice hole. Everyone in the team was troubled by the ice hole.

It would be fine if something else got stuck in it, but unfortunately, it was this carriage.

And what was placed on this carriage was nothing else but a coffin.

Although it was just a thin-skinned coffin, it was very heavy, so they set out the day before yesterday morning and traveled all night, and only just arrived here now.

As the city of Peking was right in front of us, the wheels of the train got stuck.

Several guards could only jump off their horses and shout, "Everyone come over here and push the cart out."

Everyone gathered and pushed the carriage together: "One, two, three!"

The carriage swayed forward a bit, but then fell back into the ice hole.

More people gathered together. The driver in front kept cracking his whip, and the people behind pushed the carriage hard: "One, two——"

Just as he was about to shout "three", he suddenly heard a chaotic sound of horse hooves from behind him.

At this time, it was just the morning of the following day and there were almost no people on the road. Suddenly, there was such a loud sound of horse hooves, and it was obvious that there were quite a lot of people. They were a little surprised. Everyone stopped what they were doing and looked back.

In the dark and vast night, a group of people came galloping.

The firelight, shining in the wind and snow, also illuminated their eyes.

The person who came is——

One of the team leaders took two steps forward, squinted his eyes and looked for a long time. He saw a person running in the front of the group. After making a rough identification, he smiled and said, "It's Lord Ye."

"Master Ye? The Emperor is here too?"

"How come you're here so quickly?"

"We left a day early."

Everyone was a little confused, but when they saw Ye Zheng, they all knew that it was the emperor's carriage, and they hurriedly prepared to go forward to welcome him.

But at this moment, they heard the heavy and rapid sound of horse hooves coming from the other side.

These people were startled, opened their eyes wide and turned around to see a group of people suddenly rushing out from the dark night, blocking them from the emperor's carriage.
