Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Old Madam Wei didn’t know about Su Xiaoxiao’s plan and thought that the news of the herbs had spread. She even believed that Xiao Duye wanted to take credit for it and placed it on Su Xiaoxiao.
“Damn it!”
The Xiao family was inhumane and killed her husband, son, and grandson. Now, they were here to cheat her of her granddaughter-in-law.
Su Xiaoxiao comforted Matriarch Wei, who was furious. “I’ll look for Wei Ting when I reach the border and come back with him.”
When Old Madam Wei heard this, she relaxed slightly. “That’s right. There’s still Little Seven. Little Seven will definitely protect you.”
Su Cheng had gone to the military camp and was not in the city. Su Ergou had been living in the Su family for the past few days. It was an emergency, so Su Xiaoxiao did not have time to say goodbye in person and left two letters for Xing’er to send to Su Ergou later.
The three children who could not bear to part with her the most. Although she had already explained to them last night that she was going to pick an herb and they had accepted it, the three of them still looked at her aggrievedly early in the morning. Tears were about to fall.
Su Xiaoxiao touched their heads. “I promise you that I’ll come back immediately after picking the herb. Pinky promise.”
“No.” Xiaohu refused with a sobbing tone.
Su Xiaoxiao smiled. “If you don’t pinky swear, your brothers will pinky swear.”
Dahu and Erhu hesitated for a moment, held back their tears, and extended their little fingers.
Xiaohu squeezed over. “Xiaohu will do it first!”
Alright, seeing that he was crying so hard, his two brothers gave in to him this time.
After Su Xiaoxiao finished pinky swearing with the three little ones, she also pinky sweared with Wei Xiyue, who was carrying a small jar.
In the end, she looked at Wei Qing, who was sitting in a wheelchair. “Second
Brother, I’m leaving.”
Wei Qing smiled. “Take care of yourself and bring Little Seven back safely.”
Su Xiaoxiao was stunned.
Second Brother had guessed it.
That’s right. Second Brother was so smart. Even if she didn’t say it, what could be hidden from his eyes?
She nodded and said seriously, “I will. I will bring back the herb and Wei Ting intact.”
Wei Qing looked at the carriage that gradually disappeared at the end of the street and smiled. “What a lucky kid.”
Li Wan pushed his wheelchair and said sincerely, “Yes, Seventh Sister-in-law is very capable.”
Wei Qing turned around, as his bright eyes filled with doting. “I’m also very lucky to be able to marry Wanwan.”
Li Wan blushed. The servants were all here. Could he be more reserved?
Su Xiaoxiao met Xiao Duye at the city gate.
Xiao Duye had fought with Su Xiaoxiao before and knew that she was not an ordinary girl. He was worried about her bringing anyone else with her. He pointed at the carriage behind him and said to her, “I’ve already prepared a carriage for Madam Wei.”
Su Xiaoxiao glanced at him indifferently and got out of her carriage expressionlessly.
However, before she could walk over, a brand new carriage stopped in front of Su Xiaoxiao. The coachman was Jing Yi. Jing Yi said to Su Xiaoxiao, “Get in.”
Su Xiaoxiao was slightly stunned.
Xiao Duye frowned. “Young Marquis Jing, what are you doing?”
Xiao Zhonghua alighted from the carriage and said to Xiao Duye calmly, “Jing
Yi is under Father’s orders to escort Big Brother north to find the herb.”
“Escort me? He’s probably going to kill me halfway! What did this Third
Brother do to Father to make him agree to take my share of the loot?”
Xiao Zhonghua said, “Brother, the person you should be wary of is not me. Jing Yi has crossed the clear path in front of Father. If anything happens to Brother, it will be on me and the Marquisdom. If the two of us fight badly, who will benefit? If Jing Yi goes with you, it will be beneficial to you. Don’t worry, the credit is yours. I won’t snatch it from you.”
This attitude could be said to be sincere. Coupled with the fact that Qin Yanran had repeatedly reminded Xiao Duye to be wary of Xiao Shunyang last night, Xiao Duye finally accepted Jing Yi as his companion. Su Xiaoxiao got into the carriage. “Your Highness, I’m leaving.”
Xiao Zhonghua looked at her deeply. “Take care.”
This trip was only to find medicine. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, they traveled as merchants. Su Xiaoxiao and Jing Yi did not bring a single follower. Xiao Duye brought a longtime follower, a coachman, and six extraordinary guards.
The first snow in the capital fell, quickly enveloping the majestic Imperial City.
Wei Ting and Fu Su had only set off a day earlier. It was not that Su Xiaoxiao had not tried to chase after the two of them, but firstly, the two of them were traveling too quickly. Secondly, there was Xiao Duye, the pampered burden.
He actually vomited from the carriage ride. Su Xiaoxiao didn’t dare to believe it.
Fortunately, Broken North Pass was not as far away as the West Capital. They rushed and arrived at Broken North Pass 20 days later.
This place was less than 50 miles away from Zi Town, where Qin Canglan and Su MO were. However, Su Xiaoxiao didn’t have the time to greet them for the time being.
She did not catch up to Wei Ting along the way. Wei Ting had most likely already infiltrated Northern Yan. With Wei Ting’s personality, he would not delay for a moment and would immediately enter Heaven Mountain.
She could only pray that the Snow Domain Hemp would not be found so easily. That could wait until she saved him.
At this moment, the sky was already dark.
Su Xiaoxiao asked Jing Yi to park the carriage on the desolate official road.
She took out a map and spread it out. She turned on the small flashlight.
Jing Yi walked with her and was no longer surprised by the strange trinkets in her hand.
“This is Broken North Pass. This should be the Heavenly Mountain Range.” Su Xiaoxiao’s fingertips moved from Broken North Pass to a winding mountain range. “Can we still pass tonight?”
JingYi shook his head. “No.”
Su Xiaoxiao had the pass token that Helian Ye had lost to her. No one dared to stop her from walking through the official checkpoint of Northern Yan.
However, the checkpoint would close after five.
The lives of Wei Ting and Fu Su were hanging on the tip of the knife. They could not delay for a moment.
Su Xiaoxiao asked, “Is there any other way other than going through the checkpoint?”
Jing Yi lifted the curtain and looked at the snow-covered mountains in the night. “Yes, cross the mountains. If everything goes smoothly, it will take slightly more than two hours. We will reach before midnight.” In a word, it was faster than waiting until tomorrow morning.
“Are you confident?” “Absolutely.”
“Alri?ht, let’s enter the mountain.”
After the two of them finished discussing, Xiao Duye’s carriage drove over. Xiao Duye lifted the curtain and staggered down the ground. He held onto a big tree by the road and vomited.
Other than him, there was no one else who had not gotten used to it after vomiting all the way.
His face was pale as he said, “I say… why are you going so quickly? Don’t you have eyes? You’ve already gone past the courier station!”
Along the way, in order to hide their identities, they had never stayed in the government or the military camp. They had now gone past the relay station. Xiao Duye had never suffered so much in his life. He almost regretted coming out to find medicine for Zhuge Qing.
Su Xiaoxiao and Jing Yi got out of the carriage with swords, weapons, and dry food.
Xiao Duye asked suspiciously, ‘What are you doing? Su Xiaoxiao said, “Pass.”
Xiao Duye frowned and said, “The checkpoint is closed!”
The two of them did not say anything and just looked at him.
Xiao Duye looked at the two of them and then at the mountain not far away. His tiger body trembled as he waved his hand and pointed. “Don’t tell me you’re going to secretly climb over that mountain? You’re crazy! The foot of the mountain is the military camp of the Northern Yan army. If we’re captured, we’re all finished! Even if we’re lucky enough to avoid them, don’t you know how dangerous the snow mountain is? I don’t agree. I don’t agree no matter what!”
Su Xiaoxiao said calmly, “Up to you.”
Since they had already come to Broken North Pass, this tool was now useless.
“You…” Xiao Duye gritted his teeth and looked at Jing Yi.
Jing Yi followed without a word.
Xiao Duye stomped his feet in anger.
Su Xiaoxiao didn’t care how angry Xiao Duye was. She entered the night and crossed the weed-filled ditch. She grabbed the iron net filled with poisonous thorns with her silver-silk gloves and easily jumped over..
