Li Qiji and his entourage were on their way back to the capital, looking around as they went.
Some sections of the road from the border have no snow, but others still have snow.
"Your Majesty, we are approaching Ping'an County. Due to the heavy snowfall, we may have to stay here for several days." Ji Wu reported the news he had just received to Li Qiji, who was sitting in the carriage.
After hearing Ji Wu's words, Li Qiji glanced at Guan Zhiyue and then said, "Granted."
After receiving the reply, Ji Wu spurred his horse and headed ahead to inform General Guan Hongsheng, the Marquis of Ping Le, of the Emperor's decree.
"The weather doesn't look peaceful. Tell everyone to hurry and get out of this valley." Guan Zhiyue raised her hand and lifted the carriage curtain to look outside.
"But the terrain here is really strange!"
"Oh, what's so strange about it? Yue'er, do you have something on your mind?" Li Qiji asked.
"It felt like riding a roller coaster. A few days ago, when we were in the border county, it was snowing heavily. Yesterday, it was sunny. Today, after entering other areas, it's covered in snow again. It's just incomprehensible."
"The weather here is like this everywhere, but it's not too bad. In some places, it's all snowing heavily! It's unimaginably cold."
Guan Zhiyue knew exactly what Li Qiji was saying! She knew that in some places in her past life, there was snow all year round!
When the group reached the valley, they saw that the mountains on both sides were covered with snow. The thick snow had frozen all the winter pests to death, but it also gave people a very unsafe feeling!
"Everyone, tread lightly; avalanches are likely to occur here," an experienced general said, surveying the terrain on both sides.
Everyone immediately slowed their pace, not daring to breathe, for fear that if they shook the snow off the mountain, they would all be buried underground.
There's no village or shop in sight; if they get buried, who will rescue them?
This thing is definitely not to be mentioned, good heavens!
It would have been better if I hadn't said anything, because once I did, things went awry! The snow on both sides of the mountain started sliding down from the mountainside.
"Oh no! An avalanche has occurred."
"Run!"
"An avalanche has occurred."
"Keep your voices down, all of you shut up!!!"
Everyone panicked instantly. The carriage carrying Li Qiji and Guan Zhiyue was buried by the heavy snow. The snow on both sides of the mountain was shaken down without any mercy, giving people a very frightening feeling.
"Yue'er, is something the matter?"
As the crowd gasped, Li Qiji pulled Guan Zhiyue into his arms. Before they could even jump off the carriage, they were completely covered by the heavy snow on both sides of the mountain.
Guan Zhiyue's head was still on the carriage frame when it was hit hard, and she was still dizzy when Li Qiji pressed her down.
Li Qiji placed his right hand under Guan Zhiyue's head and covered her with his body, so that the thick snow was all pressed onto Li Qiji's back.
Guan Zhiyue shook her head, feeling completely bewildered. They had just told them to leave quickly, and now this had happened? Was this a classic case of "speak of the devil and he shall appear"?
"I'm alright. Is there anything I can help you with?"
Li Qiji groaned with difficulty, then said, "I'm fine otherwise, just a little cold."
Guan Zhiyue really wanted to roll her eyes, but oh well, at least this person shielded her from the snow!
Imagine how cold it would be with such heavy snow pressing down on you.
It's a miracle we're not cold!
"Enter." With a thought, Guan Zhiyue and Li Qiji flashed into the space.
"I can't take it anymore, it's too cold! I'm completely frozen." Li Qiji got up from the ground, stretched his limbs, and looked at Guan Zhiyue.
"Come on, let's go wash up first. We'll definitely catch a cold in these wet clothes."
The biggest regret about this space is that you can't move around in the air. If you could, they definitely wouldn't have waited to go out and ended up buried under the snow.
"Quickly, save them! What are you all standing there for? The Emperor and Empress are buried underground by the snow!" Guan Chengheng crawled out of the snow, crossed his arms, and shivered. It was so damn cold.
She glanced at her own father, who was sitting to the side with a look of terror on his face, as if he had just crawled out of the snow.
"father..."
Guan Hongsheng looked at his second son, then at the others present, and ordered in a deep voice, "Quickly clear away this snow."
"Hurry up and save people! What are you all standing around for? Those who aren't buried in the snow, get to work! Those who are buried, rest for a bit and join the rescue effort once you've recovered!" Guan Hongsheng took the lead, squatting down and searching through the snow with his bare hands.
His heart was pounding wildly. Where was his daughter? His eldest son was lagging behind, unaware of what lay on the other side of the avalanche!
Was his eldest son buried under the snow?
"Chengheng, hurry up and get started, everyone hurry up and get started!" Guan Hongsheng said as he dug.
After digging for about five or six meters, some soldiers had already been dug out, and now horses have also been dug out. After the soldiers were dug out and calmed down, they began to join in the rescue efforts.
Outside, people were frantically digging through snow to rescue others, but inside, Guan Zhiyue and her companion had just come out of the bathroom after taking a hot shower and drinking two large bowls of ginger soup before they finally came back to life.
"I don't know how my dad and the others are doing. Shall we go out now?" Guan Zhiyue said.
Li Qiji put the clothes he had just worn back on back on and said very carefully, "Let me go out first! I'll give you a hint later, otherwise you'll catch a cold before they find us."
Guan Zhiyue shook her head and said, "I'll go with you. Besides, many soldiers were buried down there too. They were all living people. If they come with us now, this..."
"Yes, I just hope that my father-in-law can clear the snow as soon as possible," Li Qiji said.
Guan Zhiyue finished dressing, reached out and took Li Qiji's hand, took a deep breath, and said, "Are you ready? We're really going out."
"Okay! Let's go out! I'm worried about you, whether you can hold on."
Guan Zhiyue shook her head, her eyes filled with determination, and said, "I'm fine!"
So the two of them flashed out of the space and returned to the place they had been before. However, this time there seemed to be much less snow than before. They were both hoping to dig the snow away as soon as possible.
