Chapter 238 There is a Snow Demon King in the Mountains
Jian Yu said it wouldn't be a problem, so it wouldn't be a problem. Bai Yue said that he had never seen the prince alive and was very curious to see him, and he would not make a fuss or embarrass Jian Yu.
"Of course I believe you." Jian Yu said with a smile: "Actually, there is another reason why I brought you with me. It is to make Prince Ning relax."
"How to say?"
"I took my men as if I were going to monitor him." Jian Yu said, "I took you as if I were going on a sightseeing tour."
After saying this, Bai Yue understood: "I understand, after all, he is the prince. If you are an official in the court, do you want to offend him or not? Even if the emperor asks you to monitor him, don't make it so obvious. It is best to let him
I feel like I have no choice but to force Shengming to make things difficult for me, right?"
He is a relative of the emperor, why would you offend him?
"Yes, everything you said is right." Jian Yu smiled: "Prince Ning is always good at showing off. He must be polite and polite on the surface. No matter what evil intentions he has, he will not reveal them.
"
It's good to be upright, and you won't have too many petty thoughts when getting along with him. No matter how good he is in superficiality, at least he won't be an eyesore when getting along. Although Bai Yue doesn't have officialdom, he is the same in the workplace. He knows how to deal with people and is very easy to be satisfied.
.
Ning Wang Chengshuo is indeed as Jian Yu said, and he is very good at superficial skills.
Bai Yue has never seen such an approachable prince. Of course, she has never seen a second living prince, so there is no comparison.
Everyone packed up and gathered by the city gate. Cheng Shuo rode a tall horse and led dozens of men, all of them tough. Jian Yu was simpler, and only brought Bai Yue, Qi Min, Xu Feiyang, and Lin Yi. This
The trip may take a little longer. Bai Yue is a girl, so it would be better to bring a maid to take care of him personally.
Before leaving, Mi Zihan came again and said that Bai Yue could rest assured about Tan Yueling's matter. Even if her injuries were fatal, she would not be able to get out of bed for a month. Even if she could, he could still find a way to get her out of bed.
No, you can completely wait for Bai Yue to come back and take care of it.
Bai Yue looked at Mi Zihan's upright and awe-inspiring look, praised him a lot, and then silently set up a monument for Tan Yueling.
"This Miss Bai, I have met before." Cheng Shuo said with a smile: "When I was in Wanshou Garden a few days ago, Miss Bai was so smart and meticulous that I was amazed."
Unexpectedly, he was famous in the capital, but when Bai Yue went to find Xiao Ling Dang that day, Mu Guan's attention was focused on the female family members, and he inevitably ignored Cheng Shuo.
"Your Highness is so complimentary." Jian Yu said with a smile: "I shouldn't have taken her with me, but after thinking about what happened in the house these days, Your Highness knows that she is a little scared, so she always wants to follow me."
Bai Yue felt that he should pretend to be pitiful about Xiao Baihua at this time, but he felt that it was not necessary. Ning Wang Chengshuo, according to Jian Yu, should have investigated him clearly by now.
The origin is clearer than her client.
Sure enough, Cheng Shuo said: "That's right. We are going to have a look this time, and we have to rush back to celebrate the New Year. Besides, Miss Bai is thoughtful and thoughtful, so maybe she is more suitable than you and me for this matter."
Sure enough, after Prince Ning was exposed by the emperor, he completely let go of the matter. He had an attitude of "I'll go if you ask me to go, I'm just going through the motions and loving whoever I want." Therefore, the more he accepted the dialogue, the happier he was.
The emperor didn't care. He didn't expect Cheng Shuo to open up territory for him and fill the treasury. He just wanted him to eat, drink, have fun and enjoy the support of his love.
When everyone set out, they did not travel all night, nor did they travel all day and night. They found an inn and cleared out the place before resting at night, which was worthy of the prince's status.
They walked like this for about ten days, and when they rested again, Cheng Shuo took out the map.
"Lord Jian." Cheng Shuo called Jian Yu and specially invited Bai Yue to come with him.
"According to reports from previous spies, Xie Jiang and his party disappeared here." Cheng Shuo said: "Five days ago, a group of people entered the mountain and have not come out yet."
Bai Yue still despises the maps of this era. Apart from the name and the direction of the mountains, there is basically nothing visible. But this is a snow mountain. Logically speaking, it should be warmer if you go to the south. The passers-by these days are all dressed up.
There are not as many as the Imperial City, but the snow-white peak of this mountain can be seen from a distance.
Cheng Shuo invited a local, the owner of the inn, who introduced: "This mountain here, Xiehu, you can see that Qingquan Town is not that cold, but the snow on the top of the mountain never melts all year round. There is still snow at the foot of the mountain.
There are green trees and flowers in bloom, and the mountain is still covered with thick snow, so everyone calls this mountain Demon King Mountain."
Bai Yue said smoothly: "It's normal, because the mountain is high and the colder it gets as you go up. When the height reaches a certain level, it will naturally stop snowing."
The altitude of the mountain is high, the air is thin, and the temperature is low. Every time the average altitude rises one thousand meters, the temperature drops by six degrees. When the altitude of the mountain is higher and the temperature at the top of the mountain is below zero, the snow on the top of the mountain will not melt.
Bai Yue looked at the signs on the map. Such high mountains and ridges, let alone in this era, even in her era, could not be fully explored. There are legends within legends, and it is not surprising for demon kings and ghost kings. It is said that there are treasures, and
Not surprising.
"Yes, it's like that. The higher you go, the colder it gets." The shopkeeper smiled and said, "This young lady is well-informed, but we don't know that either. It's just from generation to generation. It is said that there is a Snow Demon King living on this mountain."
Jian Yu asked curiously: "Has anyone seen the Demon King?"
"That's not true." The shopkeeper told the truth: "But I have heard stories from my grandfather since I was a child. He said that one night, thunder suddenly fell from the Demon King Mountain, and a ball of white light illuminated the entire sky like day. At that time, the entire town
Everyone on the mountain was awakened, and they knelt down and saluted Demon King Mountain."
Everyone heard this with great interest: "What happened next."
The shopkeeper scratched his head: "Nothing happened after that, but this is what my grandfather told me when I was a child. People who have seen that scene have all passed away."
Cheng Shuo signaled his subordinates to reward him and asked the shopkeeper to step back.
"Master Jian." Cheng Shuo pointed at the map with his slender finger: "It seems that we are going to the snow-capped mountains. No matter whether this treasure is real or fake, we must find Xie Jiang."
"Your Majesty is right," Jian Yu said, "However, safety is the top priority when entering the snow-capped mountains. You should consult locals first, then hire a guide and purchase equipment. Your Majesty has a distinguished status and cannot take risks."
This is the emperor's younger brother. Although Jian Yu and Cheng Shuo won't deal with him, nothing can happen to Cheng Shuo, and it will be difficult to deal with him if something happens.
At that moment, the two of them discussed with Bai Yue for a long time and asked their men to go separately to make purchases. Finally, Jian Yu said: "Yue'er, we will go into the mountain tomorrow, so you don't want to go."
"Ah?" Bai Yue, who had been working hard but was abandoned.
