Such a big matter left Emperor Jiajing with no choice but to invite Ji Yingying over.
Ji Yingying was quite shocked after reading the memorial. Logically speaking, earthquakes should cause some unexpected events, such as changes in altitude and surface conditions, but this mountain was still covered with grass.
Something feels off.
"How about this, I'll go take a look. I'd like to know what the reason is?"
"But..." Emperor Jiajing didn't really want Ji Yingying to go, mainly because he was worried that something might happen if she went.
Now that Rong Yi and Rong Er have both retired, the two of them and their group of elites are living a life of leisure in the Prince of Jin's mansion.
It can't move either.
She has people around her, but her worry is that those people might not be able to protect her like Rong Yi and Rong Er.
"It's alright, I'll take your second master there."
Since she had this plan, Ji Yingying went back and discussed it with Mu Kaiji. They both felt it would be better to go.
Before that, the Jiajing Emperor gave her another team, insisting that she return safely.
On the day of departure, the retired emperor also came to see him off. He was also very worried. This sudden mountain was something he couldn't leave unchecked!
"Be careful, we're waiting for you to come home."
"Don't worry, old man, I will definitely come back safely. Wait for me at home. When I get back, I will definitely play a couple of games of chess with you."
"Okay, okay!"
After receiving a response, Ji Yingying looked at Emperor Jiajing and said, "Take good care of your father. I will be back soon."
“I have always kept my master’s words in mind.”
They set off with the team on a large truck, and the road was neatly repaired.
It took three days to reach Shunlan City. Dashan is located near Shunlan City.
Three days is the fastest it can go; if it were by carriage or horse, it would probably take half a month or a month.
Upon arriving, Xiao Yun, the prefect of Shunhe City, was the first to greet them.
"Long time no see, how are you?"
"Very well, Your Highness, welcome this way."
"Thank you. Take a rest. Take me to see that mountain. By the way, has the earthquake been dealt with?"
Ji Yingying was still concerned about whether there were any casualties, after all, this was the territory she had fought for back then.
"It's all handled well. There were only a dozen or so deaths, mostly disobedient young men and women. As for the elderly, women, and children, none of them died."
"That's right, it's the perfect time to act impulsively." After resting in the city for a day, they went straight to the mountain the next day.
Ji Yingying learned about this mountain; it was very cold and somewhat like Mount Everest, but far inferior.
With their equipment ready, Ji Yingying led the group on a hike. When they went up the mountain, she strictly instructed them to turn back if they couldn't handle it.
Everyone agreed.
The mountain was very high, and it got colder the higher you went. Ji Yingying took out a thermometer to measure the temperature, and it was -20 degrees Celsius. It seemed she couldn't continue.
[Host, the energy here is plentiful. I feel I can level up without your merits.]
"With so much energy, is there a spatial rift?" Ji Yingying was worried about this.
This world felt strange; at least, to Ji Yingying, it felt like an abnormal world.
Otherwise, how could there be reborn individuals or time travelers?
[I don't know, probably not, host. You may have to stay here for a while; I need to level up.]
【Okay, I'll stay.】 Ji Yingying thought for a moment and pulled Mu Kaiji aside to discuss it.
"Kaiji, you take the men back. I'll stay here. We can't go any further. If we do, we'll freeze to death."
The higher you go, the colder it will probably get. They can handle it, but others might not!
"Let them go down on their own. We'll stay here. There's a risk of avalanches or something like that in this area."
"Yes, that's what I'm worried about, but I can't leave."
This time, Mu Kaiji refused to listen to her.
"Even if you don't leave, you have to make them go down and wait down there."
"good."
Finally, Ji Yingying arranged for everyone to go down, but the two of them stayed behind. However, neither of them wanted to go down; they both wanted to stay with them.
Ji Yingying had no choice but to persuade them.
“Your presence here will only be a burden to us. Don’t worry, we will definitely go down before the New Year. If you are worried, just wait for us on the way down the mountain.”
The mountain pass leading up the mountain isn't very cold, so you can wait there!
In the end, they listened to the advice and let Duan lead the others down, while the two of them stayed on the mountain.
When the news reached the imperial court, the Jiajing Emperor was furious, but the retired emperor thought it was nothing serious.
Who is Ji Yingying that she could cause trouble for me?
…………
I spent two months on the iceberg, and I was very happy to see the aurora borealis in the sky. It was red and very beautiful.
"Luckily, the weather is bearable; otherwise, we would be doomed."
Ji Yingying sighed, not knowing how many down jackets and comforters she had ruined.
We prepared a lot of antifreeze items.
"Yes, but we've never actually visited an iceberg before. Over the years, we've seen and traveled all sorts of things, but we've never seen anything like this before."
"You're right, this can be considered as compensation for my wish."
Actually, the two of them had seen icebergs, but they had never climbed one. Just because there were no icebergs within the Tianyou Dynasty's borders didn't mean there weren't any outside. After all, the two of them had traveled to so many places around the world.
We've seen savages.
Let alone a tiny iceberg.
It's just that I didn't stay on the iceberg for that long.
With the Lunar New Year fast approaching, Ji Yingying kept calling out to Xiangxiang, but there was no response.
Just as she was wondering whether she should just leave, a little girl appeared in front of Ji Yingying the next morning.
"Host, I have transformed into human form. From now on, I can transform into human form anytime."
"Seriously? I'm already this old, almost fifty, and you're still in human form. How much longer can you stay with me?"
Before Xiangxiang could respond, Mu Kaiji arrived and extended a friendly hand when he saw her: "Long time no see, Xiangxiang!"
"Detective brother, it's been a long time."
What do you mean "long time no see"? I think we see each other every day!
Ji Yingying couldn't help but complain, "Now that Xiangxiang has finished upgrading, let's pack our things and get ready to go back."
"Going back now is just in time for the New Year. By the way, after we go down the mountain, I will turn into a bracelet in your hand, as it's inconvenient for me to see other people."
"Why?"
"I just don't want to see them!"
Ji Yingying thought that this was definitely not the reason, but she still listened to her.
That's good too. Xiangxiang will be with me from now on, and even better, Mu Kaiji will be there too.
On the way down the mountain, we ran into Duan Yi, who was just about to lead his men up the mountain.
I breathed a sigh of relief when I saw them come down the mountain.
"Get ready, we're heading back to Beijing."
I've been away for more than half a year; it's time to go back.
I stayed in Shunlan City for two days, took a few sheep and yaks and went straight back to Beijing to prepare for the New Year.
"See you later, Xiao Yun!" After getting into the car, Ji Yingying waved to Xiao Yun, who immediately nodded.
This prince remains as beautiful and dashing as ever!
