Parents are busy farming

Ye Zifen was unaware of their inner thoughts at this time. After sitting firmly on the horse, she turned her head and took a quick look. Then she squeezed the horse's belly with her legs and shouted in a tender voice, "Go!"

The horse seemed to be stimulated and ran away with all four hooves.

When the Dali Temple Minister saw the beauty leaving, he did not dare to delay for even a moment and whipped his horse to catch up with her.

The horses were galloping like arrows, and the cold wind carried the icy air, cutting across the faces of several people like a knife, making him feel colder and colder.

This was not the most surprising thing for the Dali Temple Chief Justice. What happened next made him admire this girl even more!

On the first day, except when the horse needed to rest, the girl on the horse hardly stopped for a moment and always kept up with the others.

Even eating was done on horseback.

When the little girl opened the bag she carried with her, the Dali Temple Chief Justice could not help but be moved - apart from a water bag of drinking water, the rest were only dry food, and these dry food were just ordinary flatbreads, nothing special about them.

If the emperor had not personally ordered the escort of the girl, he might have thought that the girl might be from a nomadic tribe in the north.

After all, she adapted so well to such a harsh environment!

At night, when they were resting, the Dali Temple Minister sat by the campfire and finally couldn't hold back his curiosity. He asked, "Miss Ye, may I ask why you are so good at riding? Do you go out often?"

Ye Zifen nodded slightly and replied calmly, "Yes, I run a caravan myself. I used to travel around with the caravan. Over time, I got used to this lifestyle of living in the open air and having no fixed place to live."

The servant scratched his head and asked curiously, "Is your family a businessman?"

The words the emperor used to describe her grandfather came to Ye Zifen's mind, and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly, revealing a mischievous smile.

He said softly, "You may think so. But my father is not like that."

The servant looked at Ye Zifen's reaction and felt a little confused.

However, the Dali Temple Minister standing by knew very well that things would never be that simple.

Just from Ye Zifen's special status in the emperor's eyes, it can be inferred that an ordinary merchant's daughter would never get the emperor's attention.

In addition, although Ye Zifen was waiting for them at the city gate, he already knew yesterday that she was staying at the Fukelai Inn. Coupled with those mysterious men in black, these signs all indicated that the woman's identity was unusual.

More importantly, today he was ordered to go to the border to announce the imperial decree and investigate a case, while his colleagues were sent to Lingnan.

Considering the news that came out of the palace last night, it is obvious that all the events seem to be inextricably linked to this girl.

However, it remains unknown whether they can reach the border safely.

As for whether the case in Lingnan can be successfully resolved, it is also worrying.

This little girl is obviously not an ordinary merchant's daughter, but a key figure who can stir up waves in the court.

The Dali Temple Minister pondered secretly, and couldn't help but feel full of doubts and expectations about the future journey.

While several people were talking, wind suddenly began to blow in the dry and cold air. The wind was relatively light at first, but after a while, it gradually became stronger.

Ye Zifen looked up at the dry branches swaying in the distance, and her eyes revealed deep worry.

She knew very well that the soldiers at the border had no cotton clothes to keep warm, and she didn't know whether it was the same at the border, with the wind blowing bitterly cold.

Are they okay now?

Seeing that the wind was getting stronger and stronger, as if it was going to blow them all away, Ye Zifen became even more worried. If the wind didn't blow any stronger, how could they continue on their journey?

Seeing this, the servant quickly warned: "The wind is getting stronger and stronger. We have to find a place to hide quickly! Besides, the weather is so cold that the fire will go out if we keep our eyes on it. It's so cold now, we will freeze to death. I suggest that we walk forward and find a safe place that can shelter from the strong wind."

Upon hearing this, the Dali Temple Minister immediately stood up, turned to Ye Zifen and said, "Miss Ye, let's continue on our way!"

However, Ye Zifen shook her head slightly and responded, "Going further ahead is the mountainous area. We have never been on this road before and are not familiar with the conditions. If an accident occurs on the way, wouldn't it be even more difficult? We might as well just be patient here for a while!"

The servant said anxiously: "But the wind is too strong. If the fire goes out, we will probably freeze to death!"

His voice trembled in the cold wind, revealing his inner fear and anxiety.

And as he was speaking, the sand carried by the wind blew into his mouth, making him feel like he had a mouthful of sand.

At this moment, the other people were lost in thought, weighing the pros and cons of moving forward or staying.

Ye Zifen slowly stood up and looked around at the surroundings.

Not far away, she found several trees that were close to each other, and one of the trees was actually split in two.

The trees were so close together that Ye Zifen came up with an idea.

I thought: "There is always a way out!"

Then she walked towards her horse and gently took off the bag hanging on the side of the horse.

She opened the bundle, searched carefully for the items inside, and finally found a few pieces of cloth.

Ye Zifen originally intended to use these cloths as floor coverings when sleeping, but at this moment, she decided to put them to better use.

Anyway, she didn't dare sleep in such weather tonight, for fear that she wouldn't be able to wake up after falling asleep.

She walked to the big trees, quickly spread out the cloth, and wrapped it around several big trees.

Although it is called a circle, it actually only surrounds three sides and is only about one person tall.

After completing this step, she went to the nearby area to find many branches and placed them on top of the cloth she had just wrapped.

I also put a lot of leaves and soil on it to prevent it from being blown away by the wind.

At the top, Ye Zifen also used a few ropes to secure the branches.

After some effort, a simple shed was built.

Fortunately, when Ye Zifen was building it, she deliberately placed the cloth in a windproof position, so that they could lean against it and feel a little warmth.

Then Ye Zifen shouted to the people in the distance who were standing there like statues, watching him work without moving, "Don't just stand there, move the fire over here quickly."

The few people finally came to their senses and worked in pairs to move the fire under the shed.

Since the branches on the shed were all broken off from trees by Ye Zifen and were relatively moist, they would not cause a fire.
