The weather in ancient times was much colder than in modern times, and the economy was very backward. Poor families had to be prepared to be frozen to death in winter. In order to migrate to warmer places or hide in caves to save their lives after heavy snow, the ski equipment here was very complete. The cart was used to use a steadily ox with four hooves, and the wheels were unloaded and replaced with upturned wooden boards at both ends. Even if they were in thick snow, they were not slower, and they were more stable and comfortable than the wheels.

Jia Huan was wrapped in a bear skin, a tiger skin under his butt, and a soft cotton pillow behind him. He held a hot hand warmer in his arms. He sipped a sip of wine with his thin lips from time to time. Not to mention how comfortable it was. Although he had superpowers and did not fear the cold and heat, he suffered too much in his previous life. Naturally, he would enjoy it as much as he should in this life, and he could not get any discount.

Because the carriage was filled with salutes, the servant and the coachman had to sit outside in a straw raincoat, but they were covered in their arms with a burning hand heater. They moved the salutes out at night and could sleep even if they were just a matter of just a matter of time. So life was not difficult. After three days, not long after that day, they suddenly heard the two scalpers pulling the carriage roaring together, and then suddenly accelerated.

Jia Huan poured wine into his nostrils, coughed for a while before he breathed. He lifted the thick curtain of the car and saw that there were no figures of the coachman and servants. Two yellow cows were inserted into their butts, and the blood was frozen as soon as it flowed out. Because of the pain, he just ran forward, regardless of whether there was a deep mountain stream on the other side of the mountain road.

Jia Huan looked back and saw that the driver and servant who had jumped up from the snow had already gotten up from the snow, looking at him with cold and sarcastic eyes, holding a large package in his hands, obviously he had planned it.

Jia Huan curled his lips and sneered, two pea-sized copper balls slipped out of his sleeve and were clamped between his fingers, and ejected out lightly. The sound of breaking through the air was mixed with the howling north wind. The servant and the coachman's proud expression were still hanging on their faces and both kneeled down. They were shocked to find that their calf had been pierced through a blood hole at some point.

I can't walk and have a strong smell of blood on my body. For beasts lacking food in winter, it is a big meal for them. Not to mention going back alive to receive a reward, even leaving a whole body is a luxury. This way of dying is comparable to Lingchi!

Not to mention the two of them, Jia Huan turned around and pulled out a cold dagger from his boots, quickly cut off the reins, and tried to keep the car. However, one of the cows suddenly turned the direction and took the car body to the point where they were about to fall down from the mountain stream.

The reins finally broke, but the car had already slipped down. Jia Huan decisively chose to jump out of the car and escape, rolled several times in the snow to stabilize his body, then got up and walked to the edge of the cliff, looking at the shattered carriage that was hit by the stones on the cliff.

Fortunately, the mountains are not high here and lush pine and cypress are everywhere, so it did not cause an avalanche.

The carriage was covered with bear and tiger skin, which was the spoil he had finally hunted. It was a pity that he lost it. The secret wall under the carriage board still contained the materials accumulated in previous years, which were enough to support it until you could walk back to Lijiazhuang. You can't get it back if you can't go down! Although you can't starve to death if you can't die of freezing, it's better not to be frozen and hungry than anything else.

Thinking of this, Jia Huan looked around for rattan and planned to slide down the bottom of the cliff.

Because the snow fell too much and the cliff was too high, I couldn't see the cliff clearly from the cliff. Similarly, I didn't know what was going on the cliff. Hearing the rumbling sound, the two of them hurriedly hid in a half-concave rock at the bottom of the cliff, looking at the huge carriage half a meter at their feet in a terrorist.

Both of them were wet and trembling. One was wearing a pure white brocade dress, and a big hole was cut in his abdomen. Because the weather was cold, the blood stopped quickly and could still be sober. Otherwise, the injury would have been seen as the King of Hell. The other was wearing a black martial arts suit, holding a big knife tightly in his hand, and his legs seemed to be broken, and he was half kneeling on the ground.

A wide river flowed by the mountain stream, and all of them were frozen into ice due to the cold weather. Just when the two of them were hiding not far away, there was a huge ice hole on the river surface, a sled was half sinking and half floating, and the six mastiffs pulling the cart had been drowned for a long time because they could not break free from the reins, and their death was particularly miserable.

"It's almost avoiding fast, otherwise it will be smashed into meat paste." The man dressed in the guard exhaled and bowed, "Prince, wait for the subordinates to check if there are still living people."

"Be careful." The man in brocade spoke weakly.

The guards turned over with a big sword and moved step by step. They used the tip of the knife to open the scattered wooden boards. They found no living people, but found a bear skin, a tiger skin, a flattened hand warmer and many bulging packages.

The guard was overjoyed and quickly picked up the things he could use, quickly returned to the rock, and handed them to the master, "Prince, there are two animal skins here, please wrap them in. There is also a hand warmer, warm! When I open it to see if there are still unextinguished charcoal balls, we can make a fire. The package is soft and it should be dry and changing clothes inside. You are blessed and lucky. This time you will be killed and turn danger into danger."

"I hope. I don't know what the fifth emperor brother is now." The man in brocade frowned and pondered.

"Prince, don't think about these things, just warm up quickly." The guard said while wrapping the master with tiger skin and covering the bear skin outside.

"You wrap it up too. None of us can die!" The man in brocade held his wrist hard and said firmly.

The guard nodded with red eyes, thinking that if he could go back alive, he would definitely find the spies beside the prince and crush them to ashes.

It turned out that the two were the third prince of the dynasty, Wu Xiuqi, and his guard commander Xiao Ze. The reason why they lived here was because they were plotted against him.

The weather in the Central Plains has been very abnormal in recent years, with floods in summer, droughts in autumn, and cold winters. It is not bad in the north, because the people there are used to extreme weather, the houses are well built, and the response measures are complete, so life is still there. But the south is different, especially in the water towns of Jinling, Bingzhou, Yunzhou, etc., due to heavy snow falling in the past two months, the people here have never encountered such a terrible weather, and there are no precautions. crushed houses and frozen people and animals can be seen everywhere, and the disaster is very serious.

After receiving the report, the emperor specially approved 6 million taels of disaster relief silver. He did not want to pass through the Mangshan area and was robbed by local bandits, which caused shock to the court.

Mangshan is a place where bandits are in trouble, and bandits are rampant and have become a disaster. Over the past decades, the imperial court has sent troops to encircle and suppress the enemy many times, but because of the steep terrain of Mangshan, it is easy to defend and difficult to attack. In addition, the caves inside the mountain are connected in a good way, providing bandits with excellent hiding places. Each attack ended in a crushing defeat and ruined several generals in vain.

Especially in winter, these bandits sled and dressed in pure white rabbit skins, buried themselves in the snow and attacked the merchants. After snatching things, they quickly took them away and hid in countless caves. They came like lightning and went like a storm, and even if the divine weapons came from the sky, they could not do anything. Therefore, the court mostly focused on recruitment and strong attacks as supplements.

However, the number of robberies this time was really huge, and with millions of people still waiting for disaster and silver to help them, the emperor finally made up his mind to eliminate the bandits and specially sent the third prince and the fifth prince to Jiangnan secretly.

It is difficult to block the mountains with heavy snow, and bandits hide without a trace. How should this battle be fought? The two princes negotiated for many days and finally agreed on a plan to lure the enemy. There is a species of bird called rhinoceros and skylarks in the Western Regions, which is famous for their ability to track. Just sprinkle some red beans along the way, and they can peck and track thousands of miles while searching for them. In order to prevent the loss of the desert, travelers in the Western Regions love to raise this kind of bird the most.

The third prince was curious and brought back two people on the Western Regions, and was carefully tamed by others. At this time, he asked the officers and soldiers to pretend to be grain merchants and deliberately passed by Mangshan Mountain. He also opened a small mouth at the bottom of a certain grain bag, sprinkled some red beans along the way for rhinoceros and skylarks to track them. He found the specific location of the bandit nest and then attacked overnight and wiped out one fell swoop.

Unexpectedly, the bandits not only robbed food, but also secretly lurked behind the two princes' camps. They took the initiative to attack first, and called on the two princes to defeat the identities of the two princes, and kept saying that they would rebel against the Daqing Dynasty. What's worse, some soldiers in the camp connected with foreign enemies and turned against each other.

The third prince was caught off guard and retreated repeatedly. He was separated from the fifth prince on the way. He finally got rid of the pursuit but fell into the ice cave. It was really a disaster.

The two of them pulled off their heavy armor and outer robes and struggled out of the ice cave. As soon as they climbed ashore to take a breath, Jia Huan's broken car fell from the sky, not knowing whether it was a blessing or a misfortune.

The animal skin was very thick, and it was at least blocked the cold wind from behind. The third prince took a short rest and saw Xiao Ze wanting to turn on the hand warmer, he hurriedly stopped him, "The wind is strong here, even if there is still Mars, it may not be burned. I will open it when I find a shelter."

"But Prince, we are both seriously injured and inconvenient to walk. If we don't raise the fire quickly, wait for the wild beasts in the mountains to smell the blood..." He stopped here and silently untied the package beside us, hoping to find dry clothes.

The third prince looked dim for a moment, and soon returned to normal. He smiled faintly, "There is no way out. As soon as we got ashore, the car fell off. It can be seen that it was a glimmer of hope given by God. Are there many packages there? Open them all and take a look, and you may find something that will make us live."

Xiao Ze originally wanted to smile, but his face changed after untiing the package, and said incredibly, "Who is this? When traveling in the middle of winter, the clothes he brought were all light and light summer clothes! Look at the material, the wind broke!" Afterwards, he limped to the side of the car, untied all the packages, and they all put something that was unknown. Not only was it useless, it also took up space.

The third prince shook his head and smiled bitterly, "This person was plotted against the same as us. These packages may be thrown away when traveling. Those who are truly practical are left at home. Even if they don't fall off the cliff, they will freeze to death in the snow and ice." After saying that, he looked up at the sky and sighed.

Xiao Zexin felt something and lowered his head to hide his desperate expression.

"Hey, there is a famous test post here. This person didn't know that the examination was postponed to April of the next year. I thought the news was hidden by someone who was interested." The third prince was able to make fun of his hardships, so he picked up the famous post and studied it carefully.
