After Rebirth, I Became a Powerful Minister’s Beloved

Chapter 242: His Jiaojiao and nephew are involved, he deserves to die

Early the next morning, Chencang was not far from Chang'an City.

On the outskirts of Chencang, a post station stood in the wind and snow.

Shen Yijue stepped into the inner room wearing a long sword, his brows and eyes were stern: "Heavy snow has blocked the mountain, and the official road to the southwest is also covered. We can't go forward."

A furnace of golden charcoal was burning in the inner room.

Nan Baoyi was wrapped in a fox fur, rubbed her little hands over the charcoal fire, and couldn't help but look out the window.

There was heavy snow outside the window, and it couldn't stop for a while.

She frowned: "What should we do? I wrote to my eldest sister and cousin early in the morning, and they are still waiting for us to return to Jinguancheng for the New Year."

Nan Baozhu baked rice cakes on the wire fence: "If it doesn't work, we can only return to Chang'an..."

Ning Wanzhou stood by the window with her arms folded: "The road back to Chang'an is also blocked."

The inner room was quiet for a moment.

Nan Baozhu's almond-shaped eyes widened in surprise: "Are we going to be trapped in the inn all the time? It would be so boring to celebrate the New Year in the inn, there is not even delicious food! Fortunately, I even asked the maid to braise more elbows in osmanthus sauce. I can’t eat it anymore!”

Nan Baoyi stared at the golden rice cakes.

Sauced elbow is not the point at all.

The point is, what happens to the supply of the entire convoy if they are stuck at the stage all this time?

Seeing through her worries at a glance, Han Yanliang took a sip of hot almond tea and said calmly: "If we save a little, the dry food in the convoy will be enough to last for two days. So, we have two days to find a way to leave the inn."

Because the area was not deserted, they did not prepare much dry food.

No one expected that they would suddenly encounter the special situation of heavy snow closing the mountains.

Ning Wanzhou said: "Leave it to me to find a way out."

Shen Yijue nodded: "I am responsible for hunting. There are many pheasants and rabbits in the nearby Taibai Mountain. I will hunt a few."

Han Yanliang glanced at him.

Taibai Mountain is the main peak of the Qinling Mountains. It is steep and dangerous and is infested with wild animals.

Going into the mountains to hunt in late winter is full of dangers...

As if aware of her gaze, Shen Yi looked at her desperately.

Han Yanliang immediately looked away and pretended to be calm, lowering his head to drink the almond tea.

Shen Yijue twitched the corner of his mouth, with a gentle look in his eyes.

He walked to Han Yanliang, picked up a piece of baked rice cake from the barbed wire fence, and placed it on the plate in front of her: "I'll be fine."

Han Yanliang sneered slightly and turned away indifferently: "Who will worry about you?"

Nan Baozhu saw it and couldn't help biting her sister: "Jiaojiao, that's obviously my baked rice cake... General Shen is really good at doing favors."

Nan Baoyi smiled and covered her lips and whispered: "When they get married in the future, just ask General Shen to seal a big red envelope for my little cousin."

While it was still early, Shen Yijue and Ning Wanzhou left the inn with their respective guards.

Nan Baozhu loves to play and builds snowmen with the maids in the yard of the inn.

Nan Baoyi stood under the eaves holding a small hand stove, looked at them for a moment, and then looked at the distant Qinling Mountains.

Dark clouds were coming over there, and it looked like there would be another heavy snowfall at dusk.

She looked around. It was too cold. Tianshu's guards were all hiding in the carriages to keep watch. Their vigilance and combat effectiveness were inevitably reduced.

Although the north and the south are now unified, if horse bandits or robbers appear at this time...

A fierce battle will inevitably occur.

Somehow, Nan Baoyi felt flustered for no reason.

At the same time, a carriage passed through the barren mountains and rushed toward Chencang.

The carriage was covered with soft blankets. Ah Ruian sat in the corner with a wrinkled face and said in a childish voice: "Master, haven't we arrived yet?"

It was extremely bad for Master Huo to sow discord between him and his father.

He didn't expose Huo Fuzi's lies and deliberately pretended to believe him. Huo Fuzi said that he would take him to Chencang, and that he had prepared traps and ambushes there in advance. He could make his father die and then support him to ascend the throne.

He was afraid of alerting the enemy, so he followed Huo Fuzi to Chencang, half under coercion and half through trickery.

Huo Fuzi is very familiar with the terrain in this area.

Although the mountain was blocked by heavy snow, he was able to find a small road that could pass the carriage, as if someone had prepared this road for him in advance.

Huo Qi sipped the hot tea, his elegant face full of determination to win.

Hearing Ah Ruo's question, he put down the tea cup and opened the curtains.

Taibai Mountain is in front of them, and they have arrived at the outskirts of Chencang.

According to reports from his confidants, the inn has been completely blocked by heavy snow. Nan Baoyi and the others are in a state of being helpless every day. Even if he doesn't take action, they will starve to death sooner or later.

The pleasure of succeeding in his conspiracy flashed across his eyes.

He then took off the small Panlong hair crown that symbolized the identity of the Crown Prince from A Ruo's bun, and said warmly: "Wei Chen's plan is very careful, but it still requires a little cooperation from His Highness. Once it is accomplished, His Highness will rule the world. The Lord, who speaks for himself, is unparalleled in his dignity."

He handed over the small golden crown of Panlong to his entourage.

Ah Ruo pursed her lips, her black grape-like eyes full of aura.

Master Huo planned to use him as a hostage.

But I don’t know whether it is my father or my mother who is threatening...

Shortly after Huo Qi's carriage left, the sound of horse hooves came galloping.

An elite cavalry team appeared on the windy and snowy road at lightning speed.

The leader, a young man with a golden crown, leather hair and military boots, carried a nine-foot Mo Dao on his back, his eyebrows were pressed down, his long and narrow knife-like red phoenix eyes were staring ahead like an eagle, and his thin lips were raised with murderous intent.

Xiao Sui refused to tell the secrets of the Huo family, but Tianshu found out clearly.

Huo Tingyu and Huo Qi are brother and sister, and both come from the royal family of the Fire Tribe.

Twelve years ago, Dayong and the Northern Wei Dynasty were fighting outside the Great Wall. The Fire Tribe was a tribe affiliated with Dayong. However, due to the Xiao royal family's plan, they had no time to retreat into the Great Wall, and almost the entire clan died outside the Great Wall.

From then on, the Huo Qi brothers and sisters hated the Xiao royal family.

This time, they came for him, Xiao Daoyan.

There are too many eyes and ears in Chang'an to make it difficult to attack, so Huo Qi took advantage of the heavy snowfall in Chencang to kidnap Nan Jiaojiao and A Ruo to lure him out, so that he could kill him to satisfy his hatred.

Little did they know that their clan members deserved to die!

Xiao Yi didn't know whether all Huo Qi's plans were his own or whether Shen Jiang was behind them. However, he involved his Jiaojiao and nephew without authorization. He deserves to die!

The wind, frost, and snow rushed towards his face, stinging Xiao Yi's cheeks like gravel.

He squinted his eyes, and the Zhaoye Jade Lion who sat down ran faster.

It's getting late.

In the dilapidated old palace.

The light of the crimson gauze lamp flickered on and off, and the girl with an exotic appearance sat quietly under the lamp, lowering her head to fiddle with the laces of the colorful ruqi skirt.

Someone pushed open the palace door.

The cold wind blew in, and the little golden bell on her wrist jingled.

She looked up.

The prince, who is dressed in white and outshines the snow, is coming with a lantern, wrapped in snow and gravel in a fox fur coat.

Her voice was as light as snow: "Xiao Sui... you come every night, but tonight you are late."

Xiao Sui closed the palace door.

He looked at the girl: "Huo Qi kidnapped the crown prince and went to Chencang. Is she planning your revenge?"
