When General Qian heard the news, he was exasperated. But after a while, he was so angry that he laughed.

No matter what, He Sanlang was a person who valued relationships and righteousness. He wasn't obsessed with military achievements, but chose to rescue his wife. This choice made General Qian value him even more.

If a person was crazy and disregarded his wife and children for the sake of fame and fortune, then General Qian would rather let such a person fade into the crowd, no matter how talented he was.

He Changdi personally led his men to investigate. After half a day, there were finally some clues.

He Sanlang's handsome face that was as taut as a statue finally relaxed a little.

He brought along his best subordinate and dared to go to the place that the clue pointed to that very night.

The cold wind mixed with snowflakes hit his face like blades and stones, but He Changdi didn't seem to feel it. He shook the reins of the horse and galloped on the snow-white plain under the dim sky.

He realized that he couldn't think about Chu Lian. Whenever he thought about Chu Lian, his chest felt like it was stabbed by a knife.

He suddenly felt very afraid. If something really happened to that vicious woman, he felt that even if he killed everyone, it wouldn't be enough to relieve the hatred in his heart.

He Changdi was restless and had mixed feelings. Ever since he was reborn, he thought that he only had hatred left in his life and that he could be cold and indifferent to everything. However, in less than half a year, he had experienced more emotions than in his previous life more than once. And the person who brought all these emotions to him might be in danger at this time.

He Changdi couldn't help but raise the whip in his hand and whip the horse's buttocks. He wanted to go faster, faster.

He couldn't wait to see Chu Lian right now and hug her to comfort her.

Xiao Hongyu, Li Yue, Li Xing, and the others who were following behind He Sanlang saw him whipping the horse without any regard for his life. They could only grit their teeth and try their best to keep up.

In the darkness, they finally saw the hillside that was hidden in the wind and snow.

When He Changdi and his men arrived at the two tents in the middle of the hillside, the sky was already dark.

The owner of the tent had been scared sick by the group of people who suddenly visited in the morning. Now that he saw someone full of anger, he was really miserable.

He hurriedly came over to welcome him with the most appropriate smile on his face. Just as he raised his hand to use the most standard Han etiquette to welcome this cold-faced gentleman, he was pushed down onto the snowy ground by this handsome man with a frosty expression.

How could He Changdi wait for this man to speak? He took a few quick steps and quickly arrived in front of the two tents. He lifted the tent curtains.

There were more than ten mats in one tent, and people of all ages were sleeping. He looked at them one by one, but unfortunately, the woman he was looking for wasn't there!

He Changdi held back the disappointment in his chest and walked to the other tent. His long fingers were trembling. But in the next second, he had already made up his mind.

The curtain flew up in an arc and was lifted by his fingers. He Changdi slightly raised his deep eyes and his gaze landed on the tent.

The empty tent with nothing inside was like a sharp knife stabbing into his heart. It only took a short moment for him to go from having high expectations to having his hopes dashed.

He Changdi's deep eyes looked at the empty tent in a daze. His heart was blank and there was only unbearable bitterness.

Xiao Hongyu was also stunned when he saw the situation in front of him from behind He Changdi. After all, he was still a bystander and could maintain his rationality.

Xiao Hongyu reached out and patted He Sanlang's shoulder. He moved sideways and entered the tent first. He looked around and quickly found that something was wrong.

He squatted down and touched a corner. Xiao Hongyu's hand was immediately stained with a layer of dark red soil. He put it to his nose and sniffed. There was a familiar fishy smell. Those who had been on the battlefield would probably know that this was the smell of fresh blood.

Xiao Hongyu's heart sank. He said with a serious expression, "Brother He, come and look here."

He Changdi immediately took two steps to Xiao Hongyu's side. When he saw that there was really blood in the corner of the tent, his whole body stiffened.

He pursed his lips and couldn't say a word. Xiao Hongyu sighed in his heart. It seemed that Brother He really cared about Jinyi Village Lord.

});

})();

"Brother He, don't think too much. Let's ask the owner of this place. Maybe it's someone else's blood."

At this time, the owner of the tent was brought in.

After a round of interrogation, He Changdi found out that Chu Lian had escaped on her own. His initial despair was finally alleviated.

The owner of the tent could tell at a glance that they couldn't afford to offend these people. He personally brought He Changdi's group to the place where the three men and one woman were buried.

He Changdi carefully checked their clothes. When he found the same tattoo on their bodies, he frowned slightly. He was already sure that it was Xiao Bojian's doing.

No matter how careful Chu Lian was, she had left in a hurry and still left some traces.

He Changdi had an expert scout from the Northern Military Camp with him, so he still followed the traces.

The northern wind mixed with snowflakes was bone-chilling. Even though they were wearing a thick fox fur coat, they still couldn't maintain any warmth in the cold wind. Their cheeks and hands had long been frozen to the point where they couldn't feel anything.

Chu Lian looked at the darkening sky with a face full of worry. If they could endure the cold during the day, they would definitely freeze to death at night if they didn't find a place to spend the night and start a fire to keep warm.

Under the white snow, Chu Lian really couldn't tell which direction to go. Moreover, she didn't know if there would be anyone chasing after them.

She turned to Mu Ren beside her and panted, "Mu Ren, ask your mother if she can find a place to spend the night. We'll freeze to death if we continue walking like this."

The young man nodded. Soon, Chu Lian heard the young man and Wu Lihan speaking in the barbarian language.

Mu Ren nodded to his mother, then frowned and told Chu Lian the results of his discussion with his mother. "Sister Chu, mother said that there's no place to spend the night nearby. If we want to spend the night, we'll have to travel another ten kilometers or so."

Hearing this answer, Chu Lian took a deep breath.

Ten kilometers!

In the army, a rapid march on an ordinary road could only cover about a hundred kilometers a day. On foot, ordinary people could only cover about forty to fifty kilometers a day.

Although they had horses, they were in the cold and snowy north, and the snow was knee-deep. Without food and water, the horses could only cover about thirty to forty kilometers a day.

The sky had already darkened, but the nearest campsite was still ten kilometers away!

It was impossible to get there before the temperature plummeted.

Chu Lian turned to look at the middle-aged Wu Lihan and saw that the latter's face was also full of anxiety.

But there was no way to survive in the snowy plains.

They didn't have a fire, and the ground was covered in thick snow. The firewood was also wet and rotten. In front of them was a vast expanse of white plains that stretched as far as the eye could see. There wasn't even a place to take shelter from the wind. Even the experienced Wu Lihan couldn't do anything in the face of such cruel nature.

The few of them seemed to have understood the danger they were in. Death was like an invisible person slowly approaching them.

The atmosphere between the four of them became more and more silent. Wu Lihan even began to regret bringing Chu Lian out.

She didn't expect the snow-covered plains to be so difficult to walk. Usually, they could reach the place in a day, but now it would take more than two days.

And this was under the condition that they didn't lose their way.

Chu Lian's clear eyes looked at the pure white snow in the distance. Her lips, which were dry from the cold wind, slightly pursed, and a look of unswerving determination appeared in her eyes. Even she herself did not realize that this action of hers was actually so similar to He Changdi's.

The sky darkened quickly, and the temperature seemed to be taken away by the light.

Chu Lian could clearly feel her body gradually trembling.

Chu Lian suddenly patted Wu Lihan's shoulder and said, "Mother, Mu Ren, we can't go on like this. Even if we walk for the whole night, we won't be able to find a place to spend the night."

Chu Lian's words were simple, and it was clear that Wu Lihan understood it.

She lowered her head and actually began to sob. Her face was full of regret as she said something in the barbarian language.

Mu Ren's face was also full of sadness. He tightly hugged his brother's thin body and translated his mother's words, "Sister Chu, my mother said she let you down. She shouldn't have been so impulsive."

Chu Lian stared at the mother and son in front of her. Her mind was working quickly.

She was half a backpacker in the modern world. She had learned so much about survival in the wild. There must be a way to help them get through this difficult situation. There must be, but she just couldn't think of it.

Chu Lian tightly gripped the reins in her hand and fell into deep thought.

Mu Ren didn't hear her answer. Seeing that she was in a daze, he thought that she was also blaming her mother. He lowered his head guiltily.

The north wind whistled in her ears, and the horse's hooves made a slight 'squeak' sound when they landed on the snow. At this moment, the horse under her snorted and seemed to be unable to bear the weight on its back. It swayed twice.

Chu Lian's attention was attracted by the horse, and her mind suddenly flashed.

She had a way to safely spend the night!

Chu Lian's eyes instantly lit up like the brightest stars in the sky.

"Mother, Mu Ren, I have a way to spend the night!"

Mu Ren, who had already accepted his fate, was shocked when he heard Chu Lian's words. "Sister Chu, really … really?"

Even Wu Lihan looked at Chu Lian expectantly.

If there was a chance to live, who would really want to die? Wu Lihan was no exception. Moreover, she still had two young sons. If there was a chance to survive, she would even sacrifice her own life to give them a chance to live.

Chu Lian nodded affirmatively. Although her voice was soft and pleasant, it had a calming power. It was as if people couldn't help but start to trust her.

"We can't go any further. It's going to get dark soon, and the temperature will drop soon. Let's stop first and rely on the horse to block the wind. We can eat something to recover our strength."

Her way to survive would require a lot of their strength later. They couldn't do it without resting and conserving their energy. Moreover, because the horse had been carrying two people, it wouldn't last long.
