After nearly three months of trekking through mountains and rivers, we finally reached the boundary of Shangbeicheng.

"When you turn the mountain pass ahead, you can see Shangbeicheng." Zhuo Yao said, the tone of his originally steady voice suddenly dropped.

Bai Zhi knew that not only Zhuo Yao, but also Zhuo Ling and Feng Tianxiang were afraid of this place.

They had a smooth journey. Even when they passed through various towns, there were soldiers who had prepared food supplies for them, and others were planning their route. There were no traces of bandits along the way.

The purpose was to allow them to rush to Shangbei City quickly, and to allow them to lead troops was also to dispel their concerns.

But even so, they were still afraid of this gathering. The further they got to Shangbei City, the less they talked and the tighter their brows became.

Bai Zhi was also inevitably affected. She was worried, what kind of expression should she use to face her son, but how should she face it if she saw Prince Ning Mengying?

She had no idea.

Unlike the adults who were lifeless, the children became more and more excited. They laughed and said, "Mom, we have to pee!"

"Go! Don't run too far! Don't run into the woods, there are wild animals!" Bai Zhi ordered.

The forest ahead was covered with white snow, the sky and the earth were plain, and it was surprisingly quiet.

Thinking of entering the city soon, Bai Zhi sat in the carriage, her palms sweating.

Ah Gu always smiled cutely in the past, but for some reason today, he kept moaning.

Zhuo Yao sat on his horse and looked at Taniguchi in front of him, who slowed down inexplicably.

Zhuo Ling usually rides a horse, but today he simply got into the carriage and exhaled white mist. "Can Ah Zhi adapt to the weather in the north? It's very cold."

"Well...it's because it's colder. I guess Agu couldn't adapt to it, so he kept crying." Bai Zhi answered in a daze.

Zhuo Ling also fell silent. Everyone had something on their mind and could only find something to talk about. The atmosphere was so silent that it was suffocating.

Suddenly, Bai Feng and Bai Lei ran back, "Auntie! Auntie! Help! Help!"

Bai Zhi was startled and stuck her head out of the carriage, "What's wrong?"

"Ah Dian and A Xia were caught! They killed him!"

"We went to pee, and suddenly someone jumped out and caught them both. We don't know why!"

The two of them were fighting to explain the matter clearly, but Bai Zhi was still confused. How could she get into trouble when she just took a pee?

She handed Agu to the accompanying female officer and followed the two children to the scene of the incident. Zhuo Yao, Zhuo Ling and Feng Tianxiang naturally followed.

Turning around the snowdrift, there was a hole behind the snowdrift. Bai Feng and Bai Lei were shocked, "You were here just now! Why are you missing?"

Zhuo Yao took a look and saw that there were footprints in the snow and piles of fallen snow, but the prints disappeared instantly on the spot.

He suddenly pulled out his sword from its sheath and looked up the tree. The moment he raised his head, a sword stabbed down with a silver light. He suddenly pulled out his sword to block it.

The opponent was very big and was considered to be the best in terms of agility, but the sword in his hand was not up to par. When he faced the Fairy Whale Sword in Zhuo Yao's hand, he was instantly cut into two pieces.

Zhuo Yao was also very skilled, not to mention that Zhuo Ling and Feng Tianxiang were beside him, and the other party was quickly captured.

The masters exchanged blows only in a split second. When the battle was over, Bai Zhi realized what was happening. She looked around at the traces of the two children, "Where are the people?"

Suddenly, a cry came from above. Bai Zhi looked up suddenly and found two children sitting on the tree branch behind a tree.

I should say, three.

The child, who looked to be only five or six years old, was standing on a high branch, wearing a roe deer head hat and wrapped in a thick fur ball.

Bai Zhi couldn't see his appearance clearly due to the distance, so she took a few steps forward.

After just a few steps, the child suddenly shouted, "Don't come here! Take another step forward and push them down!"

Bai Zhi made a visual inspection and found that the old branch was quite high, at least five or six meters, as high as two stories. Although there were snowdrifts underneath, if it really fell down and the posture was wrong, it might be missing arms or legs.

Bai Zhi was a little angry for a moment. He was threatened by a baby with a milky voice and had to be obedient.

She looked back at the person in Zhuo Yao's hands. The person's eyes were filled with hatred and threats. It was very scary. Bai Zhi asked, "Who are you?"

Zhuo Yao sneered, "He's a mute!"

Bai Zhi frowned, turned around, and said to the child angrily, "Kid...it's very dangerous for you to stand so high! We don't mean any harm, can you let aunt's son go?"

"Stop talking nonsense! If you let brother Mute Slave go, I will let him go!" the child shouted.

He was obviously a child, but there was an inexplicable aura in his words and deeds. He must not be a child from an ordinary family. Plus, with the roe deer head hat, Mei Shaohong said that this was something that only high-ranking officials could wear.

Bai Zhi can basically determine that this child has a good status, that is to say, he cannot offend or harm him, and he may get into trouble if he scratches his skin.

She winked at Zhuo Yao, who understood and winked at Zhuo Ling and Feng Tianxiang.

Zhuo Yao pushed the big mute forward, and the child commanded from the tree, "Let Brother Mute go and let him come over on his own."

"How can I be sure that you won't push those two children down?" Zhuo Yao asked him funny.

"What I said is what I said, why can't I lie to you?"

"Why should I trust you?" Zhuo Yao faced him with the same childish tone.

Seeing that Zhuo Yao didn't believe it, the child swayed slightly and said, "Then...then I'll give you one back first, so you should believe me, right?"

This doll is quite weird.

Zhuo Yao chuckled, "Okay!"

Zhuo Ling and Feng Tianxiang moved closer, fearing that the two children would fall.

"Don't come over!" the child shouted in shock.

"But why did you let him go? The tree is so high and he can't climb down." Bai Zhi said with her hands on her hips.

"You... then... only one of you can come..." The child's tone was obviously flustered. He pointed at Bai Zhi and said, "Come here! Follow him!"

This child also looks for soft persimmons to pinch, but Bai Zhi doesn't think she has such ability. She looked at Zhuo Ling, and Zhuo Ling nodded to her.

"Kid, let this sister pick you up. We are all women and can't hurt you." Bai Zhi said.

"Okay!" The child reluctantly agreed.

The mute in Zhuo Yao's hand shook his head after hearing this, and wanted to warn the child, but Zhuo Yao pinched the back of his neck, making him unable to make a sound.

Zhuo Ling walked over in two or three steps, and the child pushed Bai Xia mercilessly, causing Bai Xia to scream in fright.

Zhuo Ling didn't expect this child to be so decisive and push him as he wished. He was really cruel and ruthless.

But this distance was nothing to her. She jumped over to catch the child and landed gently on the ground. It was a perfect catch.

But her extremely fast skills still made the child feel threatened. In panic, he quickly pushed Bai Dian down.

This sudden move startled Bai Zhi, and she exclaimed, "Sister Ling!"

Fortunately, Zhuo Ling reacted very quickly, and Feng Tianxiang had already been waiting at the right place. Zhuo Ling quickly picked up the child, and Feng Tianxiang jumped up the tree and controlled the little kid!

At this point, these two people were under their control.

Bai Zhi didn't expect this little kid to be so cruel and ruthless. She wanted to see how this little devil could be so vicious.

Feng Tianxiang carried the child in front of her. The child struggled hard, "Let me go! Let me go!"

Bai Zhi snorted angrily. She straightened the roe deer hat for the child, and was slightly startled when she saw his white and rosy face revealed.

"You look so cute, how could you do such a thing?" Bai Zhi scolded with her hands on her hips.

"You are not allowed to talk to me like this! Do you know whose family I belong to?" The child kicked his legs, his whole body tensed, and his face was full of dissatisfaction.

"Then tell me! Tell me your name, and I want to see whose child is so vicious!" Bai Zhi was still bickering with him, not realizing the seriousness of the matter at all.

But the moment Bai Zhi lifted his child's hat, the expressions on Zhuo Ling and Zhuo Yao's faces were like dark clouds sweeping over them.

In an instant, Zhuo Ling and Zhuo Yao's breathing froze, and their hearts trembled involuntarily.

If nothing else, this kid looks exactly like the childhood Meng Ying!

What's even worse is that he looks a bit like Angelica dahurica!
