Chapter 231 The Real Destination
Chapter 231 The Real Destination
The next morning, Song Yuan had just finished breakfast and was ready to leave early.
Today he has made an appointment with Huo Jianchuan to go to the famous Death Valley and explore it thoroughly.
Before Song Yuan could even step over the threshold, his aunt Ye Xuan appeared and handed a purple fur coat to Situ Jing.
"Take this clothing. If the prince feels cold, put it on him. The temperature in Piaoxue City is much lower than here. Be careful of catching a cold when you go there. Don't come back and lie in bed again!"
If he wasn’t my friend, how did Ye Xuan know about this?
Faced with such instructions, Song Yuan's expression suddenly changed, and he couldn't help but look at Situ Jing beside him.
Didn’t I tell you not to tell anyone?
My dear aunt, you have such a big mouth. It’s only been one night and everything has reached my aunt’s ears.
Facing Song Yuan's direct gaze, Situ Jing clearly felt guilty, and finally became angry and embarrassed: "Why are you looking at me? I told my aunt about this because I care about you. Besides, we didn't kill anyone or set fire to anything. What's there to keep secret?"
To be honest, Situ Jing didn't do it on purpose. It was just a habit she had developed over a long period of time that made her never be on guard when interacting with Ye Xuan.
After a while, some words were said uncontrollably, and even Situ Jing herself couldn't control it.
"Okay, okay, I've said it. You're my woman, what else can I say? Just spoil her!"
Seeing that the aunt was about to lose her temper again, Song Yuan hurriedly lowered his head. When he looked down at the fur coat again, Cindy immediately felt like showing off.
"Come, my beloved, help me get dressed!"
Song Yuan shrugged his shoulders as he spoke, with a hint of showing off in his eyes.
Under normal circumstances, Situ Jing would have given him a good lesson without saying a word.
However, considering that he was the one who did something wrong this time, Situ Jing hesitated again and again and still did not get angry.
I'll let you, little brat, be proud for a while, but if you push your luck further, I won't tolerate you!
With such emotions, Situ Jing frowned, held up the fur coat, walked behind Song Yuan, and draped it over Song Yuan's shoulders.
I have to say, my aunt is really thoughtful.
This fur coat fits Song Yuan perfectly, clearly tailor-made for his figure.
In addition to being able to block out the wind and cold, there is also a hood on the top of the head. Once you put on the hood, no matter how windy and rainy it is outside, you will always be warm inside the clothes.
Coupled with the white appearance, wearing such an outfit, even if you lie in the snow, you probably won’t feel the slightest bit of cold.
What’s more important is the concealment brought by the color. Even if the enemy is close, if they don’t observe carefully, they may not be able to find your hiding place!
It is really a great treasure for home travel, murder and robbery.
Seeing this fur coat, Song Yuan felt relieved. How could such a good thing be missing from the Golden Saint?
When they are equipped with equipment, their combat effectiveness will surely increase greatly. With such cover, their stealth will be much smoother, and they will be able to serve as qualified special forces soldiers.
Song Yuan nodded in satisfaction, but he didn't expect that just as he was about to leave, a familiar voice suddenly came.
"Can you take me with you?"
Jin Lianqiao appeared at the edge of the team. Facing Song Yuan's gaze, he immediately started to explain.
"I've been so bored staying at home these past two days. I've been wandering around the entire Mohai City and I'm really bored. It would be great if Your Highness could take me out to relax!"
This woman is coming too?
Could it be that he knows some secret?
Song Yuan suddenly became alert and was about to refuse, but before he could say a word, Ye Xuan on the side took the initiative to speak up.
"It's safest for Jinlian to go with you. If anything happens to Your Highness on the way, like a headache or a fever, Jinlian's medical skills will be there to take care of him at any time!"
After these words were spoken, even Situ Jing nodded repeatedly.
Seeing the two of them singing the same tune, Song Yuan felt a headache.
Am I so fragile in your eyes?
As for?
Who could have imagined that because of an illness, his wisdom would be completely wiped out.
Thinking of this, Song Yuan couldn't help feeling depressed. I'm just sick, is it that serious?
"Okay, okay, if you say to take it, then take it. But Miss Jinlian, I have to tell you in advance that you might suffer some hardships along the way, so you have to endure it!"
Seeing that it was getting late, he was afraid that any further delay would lead to disaster, so he simply nodded and agreed to Jinlian's suggestion of joining the team.
When the group arrived outside the city in a carriage, they successfully reunited with Huo Jianchuan's team.
Huo Jianchuan was seen leading more than a hundred riders, all determined to set off.
By noon they had already traveled hundreds of miles, and seeing that Song Yuan was exhausted from the journey, he immediately ordered them to rest.
After riding their horses for the whole morning, the cavalrymen did not take care of themselves immediately after resting. Instead, they took out various rations from the supplies they carried around their waists.
After feeding the warhorse, he took care of himself.
Seeing these details, Song Yuan couldn't help but shook his head. After all, these war horses were too precious.
Unfortunately, even I couldn't solve the problem of the war horse at the moment.
At the moment, I can only ask my brothers to work harder.
Song Yuan took out some dry food and distributed it to everyone, but he didn't expect that after Jinlian took the dry food, her brows suddenly jumped, and what she said hit Song Yuan's heart.
"Your Highness, are you sure we are really going to Piaoxue City?"
Damn, I’ve been found out!
Facing Jinlian's eyes that seemed to see through people's hearts, Song Yuan was slightly stunned. He didn't expect that he was finally seen through by this smart woman.
Song Yuan only told Situ Jing that the destination of this trip was Piaoxue City, but in fact, his real goal was the place of divine punishment that Huo Jianchuan had introduced before!
Even Situ Jing didn't see through Song Yuan's true purpose, and she didn't expect that in the end she couldn't hide it from Jinlian's eyes.
Seeing the other party looking straight at him, Song Yuan thought for a long time and finally nodded.
He admitted this: "Yes, my target is indeed the Land of Divine Punishment, but don't worry, I'm only there to take a look. I know how dangerous it is, and I will never go there without making sure it's safe!"
"I knew it!" Jinlian smiled faintly after receiving Song Yuan's affirmation.
However, he didn't expect that at this moment, Huo Jianchuan had already arranged the entire team and came over as soon as possible.
"Your Highness, if you ask me, it's not too late for us to turn back now. That place is really not one that we can just set foot in casually!"
"I've had a personal experience before, and it's something I'll never forget. That place is truly a forbidden zone for humans. Unless you're a ghost or a god, no one can set foot there!"
Huo Jianchuan spoke earnestly, and there was even a hint of pleading in his eyes when he looked at Song Yuan.
In his opinion, if Song Yuan really set foot in the land of divine punishment, there would only be one outcome.
Certain death!
"Don't worry!" Song Yuan noticed Huo Jianchuan's worry, and although he was reluctant in his heart, he still patiently explained.
"I just told Jinlian that I won't do anything rash when the time comes. I'll just survey the periphery. I think you can rest assured now!"
After hearing this, Huo Jianchuan finally nodded, and the blush on his face disappeared.
However, thinking of Song Yuan's previous series of actions, Huo Jianchuan secretly made up his mind that if Song Yuan dared to do anything wrong, even if he offended him, he would knock him out on the spot and would not let him do what he wanted!
Huo Jianchuan could never forget the experience in the land of divine punishment. Even now, he still remembered the thunder rumbling that day.
Like the Thunderous Doomsday!
"By the way, I heard you say last time that it wasn't winter when you went there before. So what season was it?"
Song Yuan didn't know what Huo Jianchuan was thinking, so in order to verify his own guess, he immediately asked.
Huo Jianchuan pondered for a moment and quickly gave an answer: "If I remember correctly, it should have been the height of summer, and the temperature back then was much higher than it is now!"
Yes, that should be correct!
Song Yuan thought that the so-called place of divine punishment must have had a change in magnetic poles, which attracted the thunder from the sky and landed in the valley.
It happened to be summer and there was thunder and lightning, so that's why such a strange thing happened.
In winter, the weather is dry and thunder is rare.
Even if I actually set foot there, it might not cause any strange phenomena.
This trip, we must explore it thoroughly and absolutely cannot miss such a great opportunity!
As they were talking, everyone had rested enough.
After taking a look at the sun in the sky, Song Yuan ordered to continue on his way.
Unexpectedly, when everyone arrived in the valley, the weather suddenly changed. A strong wind swept over, blinding everyone's vision in just an instant.
"Your Highness, the current situation is no longer suitable for further action. We should find cover and hide!"
Huo Jianchuan was the first to make a suggestion despite the wind and sand. Seeing this, Song Yuan could only nod.
Fortunately, everyone was lucky and soon found a shelter despite the wind and rain.
It was a huge cave that could accommodate not only soldiers but also horses.
With such a foothold, everyone can regroup.
Otherwise, the wind and rain along the way would have been enough to defeat everyone.
