Although they had traveled a long distance to reach their destination, Bai Shu and the others did not relax.
After all, the terrain here is complex, the mountain roads are rugged, there are rare vegetation all over the mountains, and there may even be a lot of wild animals.
Moreover, Xiao Moqing's people came here many times, but they all returned empty-handed.
So even if Ji Zhe could lead them to find the ice stone, Bai Shu would still be worried about the medicinal ingredients.
The eldest princess, on the other hand, really treated this action as a game.
She took a short break in the room, changed into a thick and warm cotton coat, and wanted to find Bai Shu to go out for a walk together.
"Shu'er, let's take a look at the scenery nearby?"
The eldest princess was very excited. She had lived in the capital for a long time, and only this trip allowed her to have close contact with nature.
The snowy world outside was extremely attractive to her.
Seeing the princess eager to try, Bai Shu also wanted to go out and investigate the terrain, so she agreed.
"Okay, sister, don't forget to warm your hands. We'll set off together later."
Since we are going out, we must take good measures to keep warm, and we must also call Xiao Moqing and Ji Zhe.
Otherwise, Bai Shu could imagine that if the two of them went out quietly, they would definitely not be quiet when they came back at night.
…
Soon, everyone gathered in the lobby of the inn.
Youlan, Hongye and Zisu, three little girls, also insisted on following, so Bai Shu followed them.
Anyway, Ji Zhe's people are in the inn, so there is no need to worry.
"Let's go!"
As the eldest princess' cheerful voice sounded, five plump and chubby girls walked in front.
It's not that they are not slim enough, but the weather is really cold.
She was wrapped in three layers of clothes and a furry cotton hat, and her original exquisite figure could not be seen at all.
But some people don’t allow them to wear less!
From this perspective, their backs look quite adorable and cute, like a group of little penguins...
Xiao Moqing and Ji Zhe, two tall and handsome men, were very tall.
Although he was also wearing heavy clothes, the cloak made him look more upright. His face was cold and warm, and just standing there was very pleasing to the eye.
Their eyes were fixed on the two people in front of them who were talking and laughing, and the emotions in their eyes were extremely similar.
“Woof, woof…”
Da Huang in the princess's arms, perhaps seeing that his master was not following, struggled to stick his head out.
He looked back at Ji Zhe who was smiling brightly and barked a few words, as if reminding them to hurry up and catch up.
Cheng Feng, who was standing by, couldn't help but burst out laughing when he saw the flowery cotton-padded jacket wrapped around Da Huang's head.
This craft is unmatched.
…
As soon as winter came, the weather in the north was already freezing cold.
Bai Shu and her group walked outside, feeling the cold wind whistling past.
They were dressed very warmly, so their bodies were fine, but their exposed cheeks were hurt by the cold wind.
"Shu'er! No wonder there are so few people here! This weather is really unbearable for human beings!"
Since everyone was fully armed, the princess couldn't help but shout loudly.
In case Bai Shu couldn't hear clearly with her hat on,
But every time she spoke a word, she felt like the wind was blowing into her mouth, and it took her a long time to adjust herself after finishing a sentence.
"Even so! This is still the territory of the Northern Desert!"
Bai Shu also responded loudly to the princess. Seeing the whistling cold wind mixed with snowflakes, they couldn't go too far.
The inn was really at the end of the road. Going further in, there was only a mottled path, forcing them to walk.
Bai Shu was right. This place is not suitable for human life for at least half of the year.
But any land or forest north of the Northern Desert is considered to be the territory of the Northern Desert.
"Luckily we were walking, otherwise my feet would have been frozen!"
As we walked into the woods, we could clearly feel that the wind was much weaker than outside.
The princess then let the puppy in her arms poke out its little head to look at the outside world.
Obviously, Dahuang had never seen such a scene before and found it quite fresh. He stood with his ears erect and looked around.
"Sister, let me hold Da Huang. Let's take a walk and then go back."
Ji Zhe also noticed the princess's slightly trembling body, and took Da Huang from her arms, leaving only a hand warmer.
And Da Huang seemed to have discovered that the heat source was gone, and he kept struggling and groaning, trying to get back to where he was just now.
But Ji Zhe did not give it another chance.
He reached out and gathered his cloak, isolating the dog from the outside world and solving the problem of its fear of cold from the root.
…
The woods were small, and the group quickly crossed them and came to a stream.
It is more like an ice surface than a stream. It looks like it is already three feet frozen, and is covered with a thin layer of snow, adding a touch of vitality to the forest.
Bai Shu stood on the shore, looking at the mountains in the distance, white with green.
It seems that nature is much more stubborn than humans and is not afraid of the thick snow.
Suddenly, her pupils trembled, her eyes shrank slightly, as if she had noticed something, and she walked forward gently.
"what happened?"
Xiao Moqing noticed something was wrong with Bai Shu and thought there was danger around him.
He followed Bai Shu carefully, looking around.
But he found that Bai Shu didn't seem to be looking at the nearby things, but was always looking at the distance, and in different directions.
Although he didn't understand why, he still followed and observed.
"There's something wrong with this place."
Bai Shu frowned and looked at it for a long time before she slowly said this:
Her eyes were full of seriousness as she looked at Xiao Moqing, motioning him to look at the surrounding mountains and rivers, and added,
"Look here, it looks like a huge formation."
After Bai Shu said this, Xiao Moqing's expression became more serious.
"You said these mountains form a formation?"
Xiao Moqing expressed his doubts. He had a vague guess, but he had to wait for Bai Shu to answer.
The eldest princess also had this question. She didn't even understand what "Array" meant.
However, she subconsciously looked at Ji Zhe beside her and found that there was no surprise or confusion on his face.
On the contrary, he seemed to be looking at Bai Shu with a slightly appreciative look.
The eldest princess suddenly realized that this was another person conquered by Bai Shu!
She knew that Shu'er was the most powerful person besides the emperor's uncle!
"Yes, these mountains, rivers, and trees appear to be in disarray, but if you look closely, you can easily see that the three tall mountains in the distance, the two shorter mountains nearby, and this stream form a closed formation."
"If I'm not mistaken, that's Wuliang Cliff."
Bai Shu's pretty face was full of calmness.
After saying this, she pointed to a cutoff point in the middle of the three mountains opposite.
Ji Zhe looked in the direction of her finger, then took a step forward with the dog in his arms, and said with a smile,
"Sister, you have a really good eye!"
