This added a touch of coldness and desolation to the icy, snowy world. Along the way, they frequently stopped their massive bodies to set up camp and rest, recovering from the fatigue of their long journey.
As before, Qin Qianluo remained true to her original intention and did not choose to sit comfortably in the carriage.
She rode gracefully on a magnificent horse, her legs slightly gripping the horse's belly to maintain her balance and stability.
The reins moved nimbly between her hands, and with a gentle tug, the horse would slowly trot along within the ranks of the army.
Her bright and sharp gaze, like an eagle surveying the earth as it soars through the sky, would sweep over the snow-covered mountains and wilderness when the army rested.
She straightened her back, leaned slightly forward, as if she were one with the horse, ready to hunt at any moment.
The rolling mountains resemble giants clad in white armor. Under the sunlight, the snow glitters with a crystalline light, as if countless tiny diamonds are inlaid on them, shining brilliantly.
Whenever she spotted a prey, Qin Qianluo's eyes would instantly sharpen like a hawk's, and her right hand would swiftly reach for the quiver behind her back.
With slender fingers, he deftly and nimbly drew out an arrow, while simultaneously raising his left hand high to firmly grasp the bow and nock the arrow onto the bowstring.
Immediately afterwards, she exerted force with both arms, her muscles tensed, and the bowstring was slowly pulled into a full arc.
She narrowed her left eye slightly, while keeping her right eye fixed on the prey, and adjusted her breathing.
When the time is right, with a "whoosh," the arrow streaks across the sky like a meteor, accurately striking its prey.
The birds and beasts that were hunted became delicacies for the soldiers to replenish their strength, adding a unique vitality to the long journey home.
Qin Qianluo showed great care and concern for Murong Yan and her group, warming their hearts like the spring sunshine.
She often went to their tents, and whenever she reached the tent entrance, she would bend down slightly and gently lift the tent flap, her movements light and careful, as if afraid of disturbing the people inside.
Upon entering the tent, she quickly walked to the charcoal brazier, gently cupped her hands over it, and felt the temperature of the flames.
He then squatted down and carefully poked at the charcoal fire to make it burn brighter, asking with concern, "Is it still cold at night? If there isn't enough charcoal, please let me know immediately."
Her gentle gaze swept across everyone's faces, checking for any signs of discomfort, and asking if they were used to their daily routines and diet, and if they had any discomfort.
Outside the tent, a few withered branches shivered in the cold wind, making a rustling sound, which contrasted sharply with the quiet and cold environment around them.
Inside the tent, Qin Qianluo was eloquently recounting the culture and customs of Tianxuan Kingdom. Her voice was gentle yet captivating, like a patient mentor telling an ancient and mysterious story.
She would turn slightly to the side, sit more upright, elegantly fold her hands in front of her, and with a smile on her face, meticulously describe the bustling streets and lively temple fairs of Tianxuan Kingdom.
The story tells of the hardworking and kind-hearted people of Tianxuan Kingdom and their unique folk traditions, just so that they can become familiar with them in advance.
Construct a beautiful blueprint of the Tianxuan Kingdom in your mind, so that when you arrive in Tianxuan in the future, you will not feel lost and disoriented due to the unfamiliarity, as if you are lost in a fog.
The swift horse carrying the good news galloped day and night, kicking up clouds of dust, and arrived safely in the capital half a month later.
At that time, the streets and alleys of the capital were decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, creating a lively scene as people busily prepared for the upcoming New Year.
The snow in the streets and alleys was swept aside and piled up like mountains. Children laughed and played among the snowdrifts. Some children ran around excitedly in the snow, their faces red from the cold.
Some children squatted on the ground, carefully building snowmen, their little hands red from the cold but not caring at all.
Some children, carrying homemade sleds, happily slid down the snow slope, their laughter echoing in the crisp air.
In the imperial study, the emperor sat upright at the desk carved with dragons and phoenixes, holding a wolf-hair brush in his hand, reviewing memorials.
He would sometimes frown slightly, as if he had encountered a thorny issue; sometimes he would tap his forehead, lost in thought; and sometimes he would write furiously, producing his instructions.
Inside the imperial study, candlelight flickered, casting dappled shadows on the walls, while newly installed underfloor heating emitted wisps of warmth, dispelling the chill from the room.
When the attendant carefully presented the report of victory, the emperor was slightly taken aback, and then put down his pen.
He quickly unfurled the victory report, which carried the scent of distant battle, his hands trembling slightly as he eagerly scanned the report, reading it carefully.
In an instant, the emperor was overjoyed, his smile as radiant as the warm spring sun, a smile that seemed to dispel the gloom of the entire palace.
Tianxuan's territory has more than doubled in size, what a remarkable achievement!
This means that the national strength of Tianxuan Kingdom will be greatly enhanced, and its prestige among the other two countries will also rise accordingly.
