When Jiang Qingyuan and Xie Yu, dressed in full armor, arrived at the West Garden, they saw a person lying on the bed with their eyes tightly closed.
Jiang Qingyuan clenched his fists tightly and roared, "Where is Xie Yang? I'll go kill him right now and make him hand over the antidote."
This bastard not only harmed his father, but now he has also ruined Yi Mian to this state. How can he tolerate the other party still living in this world?
Yimian has done enough for them, and now, in order to stop Alit from transporting explosives and buy them time, things have turned out like this.
He failed to fulfill his roles as both an elder brother and a general.
He failed to protect his younger sister, and he also failed to protect Jiang Yimian, a citizen of the Great Jin Dynasty.
Xie Yu's eyes instantly reddened as she thought of the lifeless person on the bed, feeling that Xie Yang wouldn't be able to die a thousand or ten thousand times over.
She was initially happy to learn that Tuyuhun and Dajin had successfully breached the city gates, but when she learned that Yimian was in a life-or-death crisis, she felt incredibly sad.
Putting aside Yi Mian's contributions to the Great Jin Dynasty, based solely on her friendship with Yi Mian, she didn't want to see her good friend get into trouble.
Lin Yan'an, however, just lay on the table and said weakly, "That bastard is dead. We've already interrogated him, but he didn't say a single truth. No matter how severely we interrogate him, he'll just laugh."
That bastard is definitely going to the deepest hell.
That bastard was infuriating. No matter how much he beat Xie Yang, Xie Yang would just laugh and not show the slightest pain. It was both infuriating and creepy. He had clearly gone completely insane.
His death actually relieved him, but the poison Jiang Meimei was poisoned with was really troublesome.
I wonder if the bloodstains in that jade pendant will help Liu'er make the antidote.
The more he thought about it, the more frustrated he became. He quickly got up and said, "I'll go interrogate the others and see if anyone knows about the poison."
With that, he got up and left the house.
Jiang Qingyuan quickly followed, saying, "I'll go with you."

Two days later, Lu Cijian and Wang San and the others finally entered the Great Huai Mountain.
Compared to the climate inside Xiliang City, you can feel the distinct cold as soon as you go up the mountain.
Not to mention, the higher you go up the mountain, the thicker the snow on the ground becomes.
It's almost April, and the weather has already started to get hot, but there's no sign of summer approaching on this mountain.
Wang San and the others quickly wrapped their clothes tighter around themselves.
Stepping on the thick snow, all you could hear was the crunching sound and the howling wind.
Fortunately, none of them were ordinary people, so they were not deterred by the cold.
The group walked for nearly two hours in the howling wind before finally stopping halfway up the mountain.
Lu Cijian looked around at the empty space and fell silent for a moment.
All I could see was a blinding expanse of white; nothing else could be seen.
Even the footprints that had just been left behind had been covered by the heavy snow again, making them unrecognizable.
He frowned, sensing that something was amiss.
Seeing Lu Cijian stop, Wang Sanzhi quickly said, "What's wrong, young master? Let's hurry up the mountain and find a place to rest while there's still time."
If they continue to wander around outside after dark, they will either be eaten by wild animals in the mountains or freeze to death in the snow.
When Tu Wen said that the climate here was cold, he thought the other man was joking. After all, it was only two days' journey from Xiliang City, how cold could it be? But it wasn't until he got up the mountain that he realized the man wasn't joking.
At the foot of the mountain, there was only a cool breeze occasionally, but the higher you went, the more the cold wind howled and the thicker the snow on the ground became.
In such an environment, the longer they stay in the cold wind, the more dangerous it will be for them.
Lu Cijian just stared at the blinding white around him for a while before saying, "It seems we're lost. We should have been here before."
Although the scenery around him was the same, he could still vaguely sense something was amiss from the few drifting clouds in the sky.
Wang San was immediately stunned. He looked around, only to find nothing but the thick snow.
Since he went up the mountain, the scenery around him has been the same, and now he can hardly tell whether he has been here before.
Others are now in the same state of confusion.
The group of them seemed genuinely disoriented and unable to discern their original direction.
Lu Cijian glanced at the sword at Wang San's waist and said indifferently, "Put your sword in the snow."
Wang San quickly understood, drew his sword from his waist, and forcefully plunged it into the snow not far away.
The patterns on the black sword hilt stood out vividly against the snow.
Lu Cijian then continued walking forward.
Wang San and his companions quickly followed.
Another half hour passed, and they returned to the same spot.
The sword stuck in the snow not far away only has a small section of the hilt sticking out. If it stays in the snow any longer, the entire sword may be covered by the snow.
Wang San and his companions were momentarily flustered. "Young Master, the snow on this mountain is too thick, and everything looks the same, making it too difficult to tell which way to go."
They had been on the mountain for several hours. At first, they could barely rely on instinct to find their way, but the longer they stayed on the snow mountain, the more their instinct gradually disappeared.
Not to mention, the cold wind on the mountain was really giving me a headache.
Unfortunately, they are now lost. If they wait until dark and still haven't found their way out, they will either be eaten by wolves in the snowy mountains or completely lost in the Dahuai Mountains, possibly never to find their way out again.
Forget about saving the princess; they'll all lose their lives on this mountain.
