The world's ambitions are unparalleled

Chapter 48
It's not the first time he carried her on his back.When he was in the Minshan Palace, he carried her on his back once. At that time, she was drunk, screamed and yelled on his back, and bit the back of his neck hard. Up to now, there is still a faint tinge. scar.

At that time, he left her in Minshan for more than half a month, and only fed her a simple meal every day, but he didn't expect that when he carried her back, he still felt that she was heavy.She looks thin and small on weekdays, but she is really a person.

But now, she still looks the same as before, and her stature is a little taller. She didn't expect to carry her upper body, but she is as light as nothing.

He was silent, and Jinse was also lying on his back in silence. Only Orion and the guide were talking to Song Heng along the way, but neither of them listened.

Continuing to go up, there is more and more snow in the mountains, and the road becomes more and more difficult to walk, so the group of people walks more slowly, often needing Orion and guards to find the way ahead, and then everyone can keep up.

Even so, when Su Li embarked on the chosen path, he had to choose a better place to walk.

Jinse finally couldn't help calling him: "Su Li."

Su Li's body froze slightly, and it took him a long time before he replied lightly: "Yes."

Jinse bit her lip lightly, paused for a while, but didn't say anything in the end, she just lowered her head and buried her face on his back shoulder, as if it was just to keep out the wind.

Su Li noticed it, and just calmly supported her more firmly.

The group of people walked for another half a day, and then they completely entered the world of white snow. The road became more and more slippery and difficult to walk, and the direction became more and more difficult to distinguish. After walking for a long time, they only walked a short distance.

Seeing that the sky was getting dark, Song Heng ordered to camp and rest first.

In fact, camping in the vast snow is not an easy task, not to mention that the mountain is covered with snow all the year round, and the snow is several feet deep. tent.

There was no firewood to be found in the snow. Fortunately, Orion had experience. He had picked up firewood and carried it on his back when he was down the mountain. At this moment, he lit a torch, which finally added a little warmth.

Jinse and Luhe leaned against the fire, eating dry food while warming themselves.

Su Li took a bag of wine and sat opposite, staring at Jinse's face all the time.

Jinse finally felt uncomfortable being looked at by him, and raised her eyes to stare at him.

Su Li was startled, but she stretched out her hand again, holding a piece of plum cake in her hand, and asked him, "Do you want to eat?"

Su Li's face suddenly sank, he paused, but he reached out to take it and put it in his mouth.

It is too sweet.He frowned, wondering why she always liked to eat these things.

Jinse smiled at him, and suddenly took another piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake and handed it to Song Heng: "You eat it too. Don't just think about drinking, it hurts your stomach."

Song Heng accepted it with a smile, Su Li's ashen complexion was in the corner of his eyes.

Jinse seemed to be unable to see, she still lowered her head to pick her favorite pastry and put it into her mouth, raised her head, still talking and laughing softly with Lu He.

Su Li stood up suddenly, turned around and returned to a small tent next to him, and never came out again that night.

When Song Heng entered the tent, Su Li had been lying down for a long time, but his breathing was still irregular. Song Heng couldn't help chuckling: "King Ning has a noble status, so there is no need to come and suffer this crime."

"Isn't the status of the Fourth Highness not honorable?" Su Li said indifferently, "What's more, Jinse and you are just an old acquaintance, and you are willing to take the risk to come here in person, why not my king?"

After a while, Song Heng replied flatly: "It's just because I made a promise to someone."

"Really?" Su Li sneered, "I have it too."

So there was nothing to say all night until dawn.

The climate on the mountain was really cold. Early the next morning, when Jinse came out of the tent, her hands and feet felt numb.Lu He held her hands in his hands and snorted for a long time, but she didn't feel any warmth.

"That's all." Jinse withdrew her hand and said, "I'll put my hands in my arms later, so I won't be cold anymore."

Su Li, who was standing by the side, glanced at her, and suddenly turned his head to wink at the two guards he brought.

One of the guards immediately took off the burden on his body, and took out a pair of gloves made of animal fur from it after a while.

Su Li took it and lightly threw it into Lu He's arms.

Lu He couldn't help but pursed her lips and smiled, while lowering her head to put on the Jinse who was silent with her eyes downcast, she said in a low voice: "This person is really strange, he was clearly prepared, but he didn't take it until this morning." come out."

Hearing this, Jinse finally looked up, and looked at the baggage carried by the two guards of Su Li, and couldn't help secretly guessing what else was inside.

But when they put on a pair of gloves, the group was ready to go on the road again.

Jin Se just hesitated for a moment, Su Li looked at her impatiently: "Come over yet?"

Jinse sighed silently in her heart, who told her that her body could not live up to her expectations, she still had to be carried on her back.

This day's itinerary was naturally slower. What's worse, in the afternoon, the sky suddenly looked gloomy.

"No, it's going to change!" The guide walking in front couldn't help but exclaimed, "Looking at the situation, I'm afraid there will be a snowstorm tonight!"

Hearing this, the whole team suddenly stopped for a moment.

"Your Highness the Fourth!" An imperial doctor stood up and said, "The climate in the mountains is inherently harsh. If there is another blizzard, I'm afraid I will never come back. Why don't we go back along the road while the weather has not changed yet?" .”

Hearing this, Song Heng just glanced at him indifferently: "Master Cheng thought that he would have time to avoid this snowstorm by returning along the road?"

The guide also said: "Yes, at this moment we can only find a cave as soon as possible, hoping to avoid this snowstorm."

Hearing this, the faces of several people in the team changed drastically.

They have come here all the way, and they have never seen a cave at all, but now they have to hope to find a cave to shelter from the wind and snow, it is like looking for a life-saving straw in the rushing river!
Jinse, who was lying on Su Li's back, became more and more uneasy: "Su Li, let me go by myself."

Su Li turned his head to look at her, and said: "If you suffer from heart palpitations again later, wouldn't my burden be even heavier."

"But--"

Jinse wanted to say something, but Su Li suddenly interrupted her: "You don't have to be afraid, everything will be fine."

How can she not be afraid?So many people went up the mountain because of her alone, if they wanted to die, it would be fine if she died alone, why would they take the lives of so many people?

And him.She already owed him enough, and if he had to pay for her own life this time, she would feel uneasy, right?
As if seeing through her wild thoughts, Su Li suddenly squatted down slightly and put her down.

Jinse had just stood firm, before she recovered, her body suddenly lightened again!
"Ah—" She couldn't help but screamed, looking at Su Li who was holding herself in her arms, "What are you doing?"

Su Li circled her into his arms, and then said: "The road ahead will be rough, and I can feel relieved only if I can see you."

Being held in his arms and walking on the road, especially in such a tense atmosphere, this situation is really indescribably weird.

Jinse silently endured the eyes of hatred, anger, or gloating from the front and rear, her head drooped again and again, and finally fell into Su Li's embrace.

Carrying her on his back all the time, and walking with her in his arms, his heartbeat was steady from beginning to end.

Jinse's ear was pressed against his heart, listening to the heartbeat, her flustered and chaotic heart slowly settled down.

What's the use of panic and guilt now that things have come to this?It's better to stay in peace of mind and not cause them any trouble, so that they can find a place to escape the wind and snow earlier.

As the sky got darker and darker, the expected cave still disappeared, and the atmosphere in the team became more and more depressing.

Finally, when the first snowflakes fell from the sky, a young imperial doctor couldn't help but screamed: "It's snowing! A blizzard is coming! We're going to die on this mountain!"

The team, which was already in panic, suddenly became a little chaotic.

Song Heng's eyes sank, he pulled out his sword suddenly, and pointed at the young imperial doctor: "Shut up."

"Earlier is death, and later is death!" The imperial doctor seemed to be desperate, staring at Song Heng with cracked eyes, "You are all on the road to death! I don't want to wait for death with you! I want to go back, I want to go down the mountain!"

After finishing speaking, he suddenly turned around and broke through the originally neat team, and walked in the direction he came from, stepping deep and stepping shallowly.

Jinse buried herself in Su Li's arms and looked at him, then suddenly struggled and fell to the ground.

"What are you doing?" Su Li held her wrist tightly and shouted sharply.

Jinse shook her head at him, stretched out her hand and tore off a bundle from a guard next to her, then pointed to the imperial doctor who was walking away.

Only then did Su Li let go of her slowly, and Jinse raised her foot and chased after the imperial doctor.

"Sir... Sir..." When she finally caught up with him, she was already out of breath.

The imperial doctor turned around abruptly, staring at her with bloodshot eyes.

Jinse's heart skipped a beat, and she still handed the package to him: "Sir insists on leaving... I know I can't stay with Mr., but please also... take this package, if you are hungry or thirsty on the way, you can go Good to fill my hunger."

"Monster! Monster! Monster who killed people!" The imperial doctor yelled at her twice, snatched the package from Jinse's hand, turned around and ran away stumbling.

Jinse looked at his back and sighed silently.

Turning around again, she strenuously returned to the team, and everyone looked at her.

Jinse's face was slightly pale, and she looked at Song Heng with a smile: "Song Heng, you monster, I can't even tell you, you insist on me coming! Now, you're turning me into a cave! Hurry up!"

Among the team, the guide, Orion, and the other two imperial doctors are all older people who have seen a lot of the world, so naturally they should be calmer.The guards of Song Heng and Su Li are carefully selected and will not panic easily.Therefore, after hearing Jinse's words, the crowd who had been silent all afternoon finally let out a slight burst of laughter.

Song Heng also laughed: "I did conjure up one, but it hasn't arrived yet, so I'll work hard on you and move on."

"It's not hard, it's not hard." Jin Se hurriedly waved her hands, "I have a mount!"

Su Li's face suddenly sank, but the people beside him laughed again, even Su Li's two personal guards couldn't help laughing twice.

Jinse then looked at Su Li, raised her face and smiled at him: "Shouldn't we continue on our way?"

Seeing that although she was smiling, her complexion was two points paler than before, although Su Li's brows did not loosen, he couldn't continue to wring her brows further, so he bent down and hugged her again.

Gradually, the wind picked up, and the snow became heavier and heavier. From time to time, biting mountain wind mixed with snow particles hit everyone. The guide didn't dare to delay, and urged Song Heng to get on the road quickly.

The group moved forward again.

Perhaps it was because Jinse had been sprinting for a while before, and Jinse still hadn't calmed down after a long time of breathing. Su Li lowered his head, seeing that her expression still hadn't recovered, he couldn't help but slow down: "Very uncomfortable?"

Jinse rested her head in his arms and shook her head slightly: "It's okay, just take a rest for a while."

Despite her answer, Su Li gradually slowed down, trying to walk as smoothly as possible, gradually increasing the distance from the team in front.

Seeing this, the guards behind couldn't help stepping forward to remind: "My lord, the snow is getting bigger and bigger. In less than half an hour, I'm afraid I won't be able to see anyone more than ten feet away. Let's keep up with the front."

Su Li glanced down, Jinse had already closed her eyes, drowsy.

"It's okay." He replied in a low voice, "You guys catch up first, don't make the distance too far."

Sure enough, what the guard said was not true, and after walking for a short time, the wind and snow were so heavy that he could only see the position a few steps ahead, and it was difficult to distinguish the direction.

Because the road was difficult, Song Heng kept Luhe by his arm. Seeing that he could no longer see the people behind him when he turned his head, he couldn't help feeling a little worried: "The people behind are one after another, don't lose track of them!"

"Yes." There was an answering voice from behind Qiqi.

"The lord is gone!" Suddenly, an extremely flustered voice came, breaking the previous voice that had answered neatly, "The lord and Miss Song are gone!"

Hearing this, the faces of Song Heng and Lu He changed at the same time, Song Heng hurriedly let go of Lu He, followed the line of people, and quickly came to the end of the line, and he did not see Su Li and Jinse!
"My lord—"

"Jinser—"

"King Ning—"

"Miss Song—"

The team stopped for a while, and everyone started calling for Su Li and Jinse, but after a long time, there was still no echo.

Lu He's face gradually showed sadness, and suddenly rushed back desperately.

"Lu He!" Song Heng pulled her back, "It won't help if you go back like this! Leave the four of you here to wait, and the others will continue to move forward! If you haven't found anyone after half an hour, There is no need to wait any longer, go ahead and find the brigade!"

Life and death, life and death, in the end, still have to put the overall situation first.
