The roar of the avalanche spread far into the mountains, and two figures flew down from the top of the snow.

The Night Terror Hall was engaged in a series of fierce battles. Although it didn't last long, it obviously consumed a lot of money. They were panting like an ox while running. The black robes didn't seem to have changed much, but the blood seeping from their shoulders and chest stained their faces.

clothes.

Because of the inconvenience of his left arm, he had to carry the gun and it was not convenient to run with someone in his arms. Ye Jingtang directly put the Queen Mother on his right shoulder and put his hand around the crook of the leg, just like a bandit trying to snatch his little wife.

The Queen Mother was lying on her shoulder, and the branches were shaking wildly, but she couldn't care about it at this time. She turned around and saw the shocking wound on Ye Jingtang's shoulder. She was so frightened that her face was as pale as paper and she said incoherently:

"Night Terror Hall...you..."

Ye Jingtang's injuries were not fatal, but they could not be said to be minor. He received a split shot on the shoulder, a wound deep enough to show the bone, and a blow on the chest. If it hadn't been for the tyrannical effect of Bathing on Fire to stop the bleeding, such a high-load sprint would have been impossible.

, I'm afraid they have lost too much blood.

Because the nerves had not relaxed after the bloody battle, the pain was actually not strong, and Ye Jingtang still looked quite calm. Seeing that the Queen Mother was frightened and crying, she comforted her:

"I'm fine. I have a picture of bathing in fire. I'll bandage it later and it'll be fine in a few days."

"It's my fault……"

The Queen Mother showed deep guilt in her eyes. She wanted to raise her hand to cover her bleeding shoulder, but she couldn't reach it when she was lying behind her back.

As soon as she moved, Ye Jingtang noticed that her plump buttocks were rubbing against her face. The hug was a little unstable, so he casually slapped her buttocks with the barrel of a gun:

Pa~

"Don't move."

"..."

The Queen Mother was obedient and immediately stopped moving.

Rumble——

The sky was covered with snow, and after sliding down for nearly two miles, it gradually reached the end of Qiannu.

Jiang Zahu took his family back over the mountains and ridges, and camped in a col on the north slope to rest at night.

Ye Jingtang ran to the top of the mountain col and found that the avalanche gradually stopped and could not slide into the camp below. He secretly breathed a sigh of relief and slowed down.

Jiang Zahu just arrived near Hidden Dragon Ridge last night. He was sleeping when he suddenly heard the sound of fighting on the mountain. He ran over and found that Ye Jingtang was fighting two Wu Kuai in a one-on-one fight. He still hadn't figured out the situation yet. At this time, he turned back

ask:

"Master Ye, what happened just now?"

Night Terror Hall panting like a cow responded:

"King Zuo Xian arranged for Xi Tianshang to take revenge. Duan Shengji may have discovered my identity in Honghualou and came to eradicate the roots. The two of them bumped into each other somehow..."

Seeing that Ye Jingtang's injury was serious, Jiang Zahu didn't say much. After flying to the mountain col, he brought Ye Jingtang to the old wizard Han Ting.

Although the avalanche did not slide down, the sound of landslides and ground cracks still frightened more than a dozen people in the camp. They all ran to the higher reaches of the hillside to hide and waited until Jiang Zahu came back before turning back.

Ye Jingtang was helped into the temporary tent by the Queen Mother, and the old wizard Han Ting began to treat the wounds. He also talked about what happened in Langxuan City.

Han Ting was the old imperial master of the Northwest Royal Court. After hearing about Sima Yue's rebellion and even Ye Jingtang's revelation to Wan Bu, he felt a lot and expressed his own opinions.

To sum it up, it's about this - what Sima Yue said before his death is correct. The northwest has a large output of minerals and medicinal materials, but the vast territory and sparse population are scarce in daily necessities. As long as there is trouble, various ministries will start hoarding food to protect themselves, not knowing how to preserve selfishly.

Tribes with strength cannot be passed down at all. For this reason, they can only share wealth and wealth, but cannot share hardships. This is where the Qinchi tribe fell.

If you want to change, you can't follow the old path of King Tianlang. You have to use the power of the Northern and Southern Dynasties to completely recover the tribes in the West Sea, suppress the clan forces and split them into states and counties, and concentrate the power in the hands of the court. Then the north and the south can allocate resources to solve it once and for all.

Problems of the tribes in the Western Sea.

Ye Jingtang felt that these words made sense, but he was not good at them. He just took note of them carefully and told the empress when he went back later to let professional people do these professional things.

The Queen Mother stayed there all the time, unable to bear to look at the bloody wounds, and silently helped wash the hot towel and wipe away the blood.

Niaoniao hadn't gotten off work yet. After flying down from the mountain, he followed his two apprentices and ran up the mountain to find the lost horse. After all, the big white horse was not only expensive. If it fell to death or was buried by an avalanche, Night Terror Hall would not care.

Know where to find one and return it.

After the wounds were simply treated, Ye Jingtang stood up and left, arriving at a tent behind the station.

——

After working hard in the middle of the night, the eastern sky was already dim, and a faint golden glow could be seen vaguely.

Ye Jingtang entered the tent, sat down on the floor, and the stern expression on his face that was unsmiling immediately dissipated, and he took a slight breath:

"Hey...I'm going..."

"Eh?"

The Queen Mother followed behind and saw that Ye Jingtang's robe was torn due to treatment, and half of his shoulders were exposed. She wanted to find a blanket and put it on. When she saw the calm and calm Ye Jingtang suddenly twitching, she trembled with fright.

, hurriedly knelt down beside him and wanted to turn around and call the doctor.

Ye Jingtang quickly pressed the Queen Mother's shoulders:

"No, no, it's just a bit painful and I can't hold it in. It doesn't matter."

The Queen Mother was dubious. She wanted to see the injury but didn't dare to touch it. She just picked up the quilt and put it on Ye Jingtang's back:

"Why are you holding it back? I thought you were fine... If I had known that I would be concentrating on practicing martial arts in the palace, if I had practiced seriously, I would definitely be better than Shui'er now, and I wouldn't be just a hindrance...

"

The Empress Dowager's talent is definitely not bad, and her foundation and training are not to say the least. It's just her lack of practice that makes her look so weak.

However, Ye Jingtang still didn't believe it when he said he surpassed the real person Xuanji. Of course, he didn't refute the Queen Mother, he just said:

"It's never too late to learn kung fu. Talent, age, and talent determine whether a martial artist's journey will be smooth or not, but it is not everything about martial arts. In the past, there were cripples, blind people, etc. in the martial arts world. They relied on the strength of their hearts to practice, and the disabled body and mind were strong.

Became a great master..."

While the two were talking, there was a noise outside the tent.

Ye Jingtang paused for a moment and returned to his calm demeanor. He turned around and saw the tent opened, and an unknown daughter-in-law came in holding two sets of clothes:

"Sister-in-law from the Jiang family asked me to bring it to you. If it doesn't fit you, tell me anytime and I'll change it for you."

"Oh, thanks."

The Queen Mother quickly took the clean clothes and nodded her thanks. After the young daughter-in-law went out, she turned around, looked at the thick clothes, and then wanted to help Ye Jingtang untie her belt:

"Hurry up and change your clothes..."

It was definitely impossible for Ye Jingtang to let the Queen Mother serve him. Seeing that half of her body was covered in blood, he said:

"I'll go out and change, and I'll take off my clothes too."

But before he could get up, he was held down.

The Queen Mother didn't want to be exposed to the cold wind outside during the night. She wanted to go out and change herself.

But there are only a few temporary tents in the camp, and it is impossible for each person to have a separate room. The tent she is living in has just been vacated, and there is not even a small forest on the mountain. She cannot stand in the middle of the camp to change clothes.

The Queen Mother hesitated for a moment, then turned around:

"It's so cold outside, what are you doing out there? Just change here and don't look at it."

It was not easy for Ye Jingtang to stand in front of the eldest daughter and daughter-in-law to change clothes, so she did not insist on it at that moment. She turned around, went back to back with the Queen Mother, and untied her belt:

"That's a shame for the queen."

"Why are you being wronged? I am the one who wronged you. I have somehow caused you to suffer such a serious crime..."

"What is supposed to come will always come, and it has nothing to do with the empress..."

The Queen Mother originally wanted to wait for Ye Jingtang to finish changing, but she didn't want to be too squeamish and let Ye Jingtang bother again. After a moment of hesitation, she also untied her belt:

"Don't look back, I'll change it too."

"Well……"

As he spoke, he unfolded his lapels, revealing a light golden bellyband embroidered with a phoenix. However, because of the large curvature of his chest, he naturally turned into a fat phoenix, which probably weighed several pounds.

When Ye Jingtang saw the Queen Mother changing her clothes, she naturally didn't say anything. She put on her trousers in a few seconds and sat on the same spot with her blanket on her back. She didn't dare to turn around and looked around casually. Suddenly she noticed a candle on the ground beside her.

The slanted shadow cast by the fire.

Shadow straightened his upper body slightly, moved his hands behind his back, and pulled away the tether. Then the tightly fitting fabric loosened, revealing something like an upside-down jade bowl...

?!

Ye Jingtang coughed silently and moved his eyes to the other side.

Rustling, rustling...

The Queen Mother didn't wear much, but it was a bit cumbersome. After unbuttoning the top, there was a pleated skirt underneath, and there was a leg ring on the right thigh with a dagger stuck in it.

The dagger is called "Feng Dan" and is a birthday gift from the real person Xuanji. It naturally means to give the Queen Mother the courage to defend herself.

But the Queen Mother held it and basically used it to peel fruits, and the leg rings were tied a bit high. If something happened in the summer, the effect of pulling out the dagger would be no less than a gangster's excitement punch.

The Queen Mother first untied her leg rings, and then took off her thin pants. The tent was suddenly filled with white flowers, and the light from the candlelight became a little brighter.

She picked up the dress she had changed into, took out the folded bellyband from inside, looked at it briefly, and said unexpectedly:

"Jiangzhou's ingredients are quite particular..."
