Needless to say, Jing Yi followed closely behind and used his qinggong to jump into the territory of Northern Yan.

As Xiao Duye looked at the two bold fellows, his eyelids were twitching. He really did not understand. Was there a need to risk their lives to find medicine? Who was helping Zhuge Qing find the medicine? Was it him or the two of them?

However, Xiao Zhonghua had said that Jing Yi was not here to snatch credit from him. He was only accompanying him as a guard. As for this girl, it was even more impossible. His father knew in his heart that no matter how much credit there was, it would not be on her.

Wait, could it be…

“Stop right there!” he scolded in a low voice.

Su Xiaoxiao checked the scabbard on her waist and said to him, “You’d better go back to the courier station and wait. We’ll come back after getting the medicine.”

Xiao Duye’s expression darkened when he heard this. “Are you actually ordering me around?”

If he had only guessed just now, he was basically certain now that this girl and Jing Yi wanted to leave him behind. After picking the herbs, they would return to the capital to look for Mr. Zhuge and the Western Jin Emperor to take credit. He was wondering why this girl was more enthusiastic than he was.

“I want to go too.”

He said coldly.

Su Xiaoxiao frowned impatiently, a trace of coldness flashing across her eyes.

“Troublesome.”

“You!” Xiao Duye clenched his fists. “Qin! Don’t provoke me again and again! My patience is limited. If you disrespect me again, I’ll punish you!”

Su Xiaoxiao left with Jing Yi without looking back.

Xiao Duye felt like he had punched cotton.

It was fine if Wei Ting was irritating, but his wife was also freaking infuriating.

Xiao Duye crossed the iron net with a dark expression.

He brought the six guards with him. His coachman and attendant stayed here to guard the carriage and horses.

Su Xiaoxiao and Jing Yi walked side by side at the front. If they wanted to enter the snow mountain, they had to pass through the military camp of Northern

Yan.

At this moment, it was not long after night. The soldiers in the military camp had yet to rest. It was a good thing and a bad thing.

The good thing was that the noise in the camp could cover their movements appropriately. The bad thing was that there were many active soldiers. It would be bad if they accidentally bumped into a few.

Su Xiaoxiao’s clothes suddenly moved. A little bird with a strand of hair stuck its head out and looked left and right.

“Go back!” Su Xiaoxiao said to Wuhu.

Wuhu was afraid of the cold. A few days ago, there was a snowstorm and it was almost frozen into a small ice bird sculpture. After that, Su Xiaoxiao put it in her arms.

“Give it to me,” Jing Yi said.

He reached out and pinched Wuhu’s head before stuffing it into his clothes.

Wuhu jumped in his arms.

The new environment was not big, soft, or elastic. It wanted to return to a fragrant and soft place!

Wuhu flapped its wings in protest.

The protest was invalid.

Wuhu had nothing to live for. It did not move and began to straighten its carcass in Jing Yi’s arms.

When Jing Yi slid down, Wuhu was speechless.

They walked along the grass at the edge of the military camp. When they passed by tents with oil lamps, a team of patrolling Northern Yan soldiers walked out from behind the nearby tents.

Jing Yi hurriedly blocked Su Xiaoxiao behind him and gestured for Xiao Duye and the others to stop.

Everyone quickly squatted in the grass and held their breaths. Wuhu continued to play dead.

This place should have been patrolled beforehand. The soldiers of Northern Yan walked out of the back of the tent and walked to the other side.

Jing Yi was the first to stand up and slowly led everyone forward.

Originally, everything was progressing smoothly here, but suddenly, a guard from the Eldest Prince’s residence stepped on the ice on the grass and immediately fell.

The Northern Yan soldiers turned around and walked over warily.

“Who’s there?”

The leader asked.

Su Xiaoxiao and Jing Yi made a prompt decision. One pulled out the dagger at her waist, and the other pulled out the long sword he was carried and suddenly charged at the other party.

Xiao Duye was about to command a battle, but before he could speak, Su Xiaoxiao and Jing Yi had already cut the throats of five Northern Yan soldiers.

Xiao Duye was suddenly speechless. He knew that Jing Yi was powerful, but when did this girl’s skills become so superb? With that slash, there was no hesitation. Which woman was as ruthless as her?

“There’s no time to deal with the corpses. We have to leave as soon as possible. Let’s go!” With that, Su Xiaoxiao wiped the dagger clean in the snow and sheathed it.

However, just as they were about to leave, another team of Northern Yan soldiers came over.

“It’s time to change shifts. Where did they go?”

“Don’t tell me they’re slacking off again!”

“Go, don’t talk nonsense! The few of you go up there and take a look. Are they in the storeroom?”

The situation this time was more complicated. Two people stood in the distance, and only three came over. Once they killed three people to silence them, the other two would immediately shout.

Xiao Duye frowned and a trace of panic flashed across his eyes. “I told you not to barge in, but you didn’t listen. Now, we’re going to be captured alive! Let’s see how you can kill your way out!”

There were at least 5,000 soldiers in this camp. It was impossible for them to kill their way out. If they became prisoners, they would be humiliated by the Northern Yan people.

Su Xiaoxiao had a calm expression and shouted at the parrot in Jing Yi’s arms,

“Wuhu.”

Wuhu flew out with a whoosh. Facing the cold wind, its eyes were decisive as it flapped its small wings until smoke came out. “Water! Water! The general’s tent!”

“What? There’s water in the general’s tent?”

The three of them immediately turned back. The other two did not dare to delay and quickly ran towards the general’s tent.

A crisis was resolved.

Xiao Duye broke out in cold sweat.

He looked at the parrot that flew back. Had this bird become a spirit?

Wuhu flew towards Su Xiaoxiao and burrowed into her arms.

Su Xiaoxiao grabbed it and looked at the energetic parrot. She hummed and said, “You seem to have a faster reaction at Jing Yi’s.”

It was always half a beat slower in her arms.

Wasn’t that because it could no longer snooze in its bird’s nest!

The pitiful Wuhu were firmly stuffed back into Jing Yi’s “sorry nest” by Su Xiaoxiao.

The group successfully passed through the military camp. After more than two hours, they finally arrived at the foot of the Heavenly Mountain.

Xiao Duye looked at the endless mountain range and asked with a serious expression, “The Heavenly Mountain is so big… Where can I find the Snow Domain Hemp?”

Ling Yun had told her that the snow region was near the hot spring on Heavenly Mountain. If she found the hot spring, she would be able to find the herb and Wei Ting. She hoped that it was not too late.

The wind howled.

rlIV0 figures in animal hide robes walked with difficulty in the snow. The snow was heavy and almost reached their thighs.

Wei Ting and Fu Su had been on Heavenly Mountain for a full five days. They had flipped through several mountains, but they still could not find the hot spring.

Fu Su’s teeth were chattering from the cold, and his cheeks were numb. He spoke slowly and slowly. “Young Master, will there really be a hot spring in the snow?”

“Yes, I do.”

Wei Ting stopped in his tracks and gazed at something blue in the distance in front of him. “I found it..”
