"Next to our team, there seems to be a team of people."
"oh?"
Zhu Feng heard this, raised his eyebrows, and lifted the curtain to look out.
Outside, it was still pitch black.
On the vast snow field, they could only hear the sound of their horses' hoofs and wheels, which spread far away, but could not see anything else. Ye Zheng rode his horse alongside the carriage and said, "The guards on both sides reported it."
"..."
"They are not too far away from us, they are almost at the same pace as us."
"..."
Zhu Feng pondered for a while, then nodded: "It seems that he is the one who interprets the stone."
"..."
"He must have got the body back."
"..."
"Pass the order and move forward at full speed, without stopping for a moment."
"yes!"
"Also—" Zhu Feng pondered for a while, and then said: "Since Jie Shi is forging weapons in private, his subordinates are not ordinary warrior guards, but very likely, well-trained soldiers."
"..."
"Get everyone ready!"
"yes!"
Ye Zheng immediately rode his horse forward and went to the front to give orders.
Immediately afterwards, the team sped forward even faster. Sitting in the carriage, Nan Yan could hear the horsemen outside whipping their whips in the air. It raised a long white tail.

And not far from Beiping City, a slow-moving team stopped because the wheels got stuck in an ice hole, and everyone in the team felt a headache from the ice hole.
It would be fine if something else got stuck in it, but it happened to be this carriage.
And what was placed on this carriage was nothing but a coffin.
Although it was just a thin-skinned coffin, it was also very heavy, so they set off the morning before yesterday and traveled all night, and they have only just arrived here.
Seeing that the city of Peiping was already in sight, the wheels actually sank.
Several guards could only jump off their horses and greeted: "Everyone, come here and push the car out."
Everyone gathered and pushed the carriage together: "One, two, three!"
The carriage swayed forward for a while, but fell back into the ice hole again.
More people came over, the driver kept slamming his whip in front, and the people behind pushed the carriage vigorously: "One, two—"
Just as he was about to shout "three", there was a sudden sound of messy hooves from behind.
At this moment, there were almost no people on the road, and there was such a loud sound of horseshoes that there were even a large number of people, which surprised them. Everyone stopped what they were doing and turned their heads to look.
In the dark, vast night, a group of people came galloping.
The light of the fire, shining in the wind and snow, also illuminated their eyes.
The person who came was—
One of the team leaders took two steps forward, squinted his eyes for a long time, saw a person running in the front of the team, barely recognized him, and smiled on his face: "It's Lord Ye."
"Lord Ye? The emperor is here too?"
"How did it come so fast?"
"We left a day early."
Everyone was a bit puzzled, but when they saw Ye Zheng, they all knew that it was the emperor's personal chariot, so they hurriedly prepared to go up to meet him.
But at this moment, they heard a heavy and rapid sound of horseshoes from the other side.
These people were startled, and turned their heads with wide eyes, only to see a group of people rushing out of the dark night, blocking them and the emperor's driver at once.
