Chapter 1833 When will it snow again?
Nan Yan murmured, "I understand..."
Ran Xiaoyu hurriedly asked, "What does the Queen know?"
“…”
Nan Yan did not answer her immediately, but a cloud of worry gradually filled her face. Soon, her expression became gloomy. Looking at the originally sunny weather outside, even her eyes became gloomy.
Ran Xiaoyu became increasingly uneasy and reached out to support her: "My Lady?"
“…”
Nan Yan didn't say anything else. Instead, she looked for a long time before slowly turning around and walking into the house.
Of course Ran Xiaoyu reached out to support her.
But after taking a step back, Nan Yan stopped hesitantly, looked back at the clear sky, and murmured, "Xiao Yu."
"The servant is here."
"Tell me, in this weather, when will it snow again?"
"ah?"
Ran Xiaoyu was stunned when she heard her inexplicable words.
Looking back at the weather outside, in fact, at this time, if you were in the capital, the flowers and trees would have already sprouted, and if you were in Nanjing, I'm afraid the whole city would have been in bloom. Only a bitterly cold place like the northwest is still so cold. Although there is a hint of warmth in the wind, if there is no stove in the house, people will still shiver with cold.
This kind of weather is the worst.
Not only is it unsuitable for human habitation, it is even worse for Nan Yan since she is pregnant.
Why would she hope it would snow again?
"My lady, why do you ask this question?"
“…”
Nan Yan was silent for a while, then turned to look at Ran Xiaoyu's puzzled expression. She smiled faintly, but her smile was full of bitterness and worry. She sighed and turned around to walk inside.

The same wind, with a hint of warmth than before, blew into the rugged canyon of Thermidor, but when it reached the inside, it was still as cold as a knife.
After all, this place is more remote than Shazhouwei.
There is even quite a bit of snow.
A group of people walked through the narrow valley. Just as they passed the valley, another group of people came by on the mountain road on the other side. These people kept cursing.
"Damn, this is so troublesome. At this time, we are still asked to patrol in this mountain. What is there to patrol for?"
"That's right. The old emperor was so scared during the last battle. Would he dare to come again?"
"It's all because of that military advisor. Ever since he came here, nothing good has happened here."
"We're bandits, yet we have to patrol all day and night. Do you think we're soldiers? If we were, why would we still be hiding in this hot moon?"
"Humph, I don't know where he came from. He just talked to the boss once, and the boss trusts him so much."
"I heard that there seems to be a master behind him?"
"Yeah?"
"Alright, alright, stop talking. Let's finish the patrol ahead so we can go back and have a drink."
The group walked on, cursing. One of the younger bandits was the most unconvinced. He said, "Why do we need to patrol that road ahead? Everyone knows that the ice there melts into water when the weather warms up. Last year, a few people accidentally fell and never got up again. Do you think the imperial army can get through that way?"
The older bandit said, "Okay, stop complaining and let's go take a look. Let's go take a look."
Everyone walked over impatiently.
After turning a corner, they immediately felt that the wind in front of them was not only biting, but also as cold as a knife, which made everyone shiver.
When everyone turned around, they saw ice on the ground.
In the sunlight, it sparkles with transparent blue light.
An Yan, the leader of this group of sand bandits, walked up, took a look, and frowned, saying, "What's going on? It's already this month, why hasn't the ice here melted into water yet?"
The older bandit behind him said, "Spring came late this year, so the ice is naturally melting slowly."
"But--"
An Yan said worriedly, "The ice here never melts, so we'll have to send another team of people to guard it."
When everyone heard this, they became impatient.
One of the bandits came forward and said, "Brother, this is not necessary."
An Yan said: "What do you know? This road is exposed. The emperor and his men have come through this road before. What if they come again——"
"But, weren't the emperor's troops ambushed here last time?"
“…”
"They've already suffered a loss once, and they still dare to come?"
"This is not a matter of ten thousand, but of one."
Everyone was even more worried. Everyone knew that this valley was different from other valleys because the water here was frozen, so it was the coldest. Every winter, Ulun and his men had to send people here to guard it. It was a very hard job and almost no one was willing to come.
At this time, a one-eyed bandit came up, took a look, and sneered, "Brother An, don't worry. There's no need to send anyone to guard this place."
An Yan turned around and looked at him: "One-eyed Dragon, why do you say that?"
The one-eyed dragon said, "If you don't believe me, just look."
After saying that, he picked up a stone as big as a human head from the ground and smashed it on the ice.
There was a clang, and the stone smashed a big hole in the ice.
Immediately afterwards, a cracking sound was heard from the ice surface. Looking closely, several cracks quickly appeared around the big hole, and the ice surface began to rise and fall in several places.
An Yan said: "This——"
The one-eyed dragon said, "Although it looks like there's still ice here, the ice at this time is actually different from the ice in the middle of winter."
"How do you say that?"
"In the dead of winter, the ice freezes horizontally, but after spring, when the weather warms up, the ice freezes vertically. Although it looks thick, it is actually very fragile."
“…”
"No matter how heavy that stone was, it's not as heavy as a person."
“…”
"If even a stone is like this, how can people still walk through it?"
Hearing him say this, An Yan felt relieved.
Nodding, he said, "Not bad, not bad."
So he turned around with a smile and said to the bandits behind him: "Okay, today's patrol is over, everyone can go back and drink."
Everyone burst into laughter and said, "Let's go back and drink!"
“Go, go, go!”
So, the group turned around and left.
In the sunlight, the ice cracked more and more, and several large pieces of broken ice floated on the water, swaying.
An Yan took his men back and was about to go to the lobby to report the results of the patrol to the boss, but he was stopped as soon as he reached the door.
The gatekeeper said, "The boss is not here right now."
An Yan asked, "What's wrong? Is there something urgent?"
The little thug said, "I heard that news came back early this morning."
"News? Where did the news come from?"
The little minion looked into the distance and whispered, "Of course, the news from Shazhouwei."
"oh……"
