C30

The place Zhuang Li came from was mostly places where animals lived in the depths of the snow, so it was not convenient for horses to travel on. Xi Cuo then got off the horse and led it forward, using his free hand to support Zhuang Li, to prevent her to fall down from the horse, and after walking for a while, the sky turned clear, and the long-lost sunlight lazily fell onto the snow.

"A long time ago." Zhuang Li immediately shouted out, "By the time we reach the next city, you will probably already have melted into snow."

As the owner of the West Cold, Xi Cuo was walking in front like a coachman. Hearing these words, he seemed to recall something.

"Melting Snow must be colder. Qing You must make you two more small carbon stoves."

Zhuang Li curled her lips. She suddenly realized that regardless of whether it was about love, this moment between her and Xi Cuo was extremely good.

It was also extremely good …

There were few people in the camp when the two men and the horse returned, and the soldiers were wrestling in the snow outside the camp. The snow was thick and it was difficult to walk around in it. Wrestling in it also consumed a lot of physical strength. Zhuang Li dismounted and headed towards the crowd. She noticed that there were many people surrounding them in the snow and the sounds of fighting could be heard everywhere. She surrounded those people and watched the show. Xi Cuo followed her and stood at the side of the stage. His storage robe was still wrapped around Zhuang Li, and he anxiously went to look for Zhuang Li the moment he entered the camp, so many soldiers did not know he was here, and had never seen him before.

When they saw a strange young man squeezed into the circle, they thought he was just an ordinary soldier, so they invited him to a wrestling match. Xi Cuo was not shy. He happily agreed.

Seeing that there was such a liveliness, Zhuang Li immediately went to the front to watch. The one who fell against Xi Cuo was a fat soldier who had already fought several rounds previously, bare-chested in the snow, huffing and puffing hot air. He was like a majestic wild beast at the head of high morale. When she saw someone bring it up to him, she was almost excited.

Xi Cuo also took off his shirt, revealing his strong and sturdy chest, causing Zhuang Li to actually have evil thoughts in an instant, the muscles on his body were well-proportioned yet had many wounds. Zhuang Li was not sure about the sword wound, but he could feel that it hurt.

Even though he was the crown prince, he was not someone who was raised to be a prince. The experience of being tempered in the flames of war far surpassed the children of ordinary people, and it was normal for them to be crawling around while fighting. His body was much sturdier than ordinary soldiers. However, compared to the fat soldier's huge belly, he still seemed to be at a disadvantage.

The two of them stood on both sides of the circle. The referee shouted for them to start, and the fat soldier pounced towards him. He was heavy, and had a powerful momentum; if they were hit by him, no one would be able to hold him off and they would be sent flying out of the circle at the first possible moment. Xi Cuo had not gotten up yet, but the fatty was still pressing down on him, causing him to be unable to move properly in the snow. As he did not have enough time to get up, he could only roll around in a circle and throw the fatty that was pouncing towards him.

Being able to throw that fat guy was definitely not ordinary, the people around him suddenly shouted, and it took Xi Cuo a lot of effort. He stood up, panting heavily, with a lot of snow plastered on his face, no wonder that fat guy was a victorious general, he was actually able to stand still after being thrown out, and immediately readied his defensive posture to prevent Xi Cuo from chasing after him.

After fighting back and forth a few times, neither side was able to gain any advantage. They were extremely tired. More and more people began to gather in the surrounding area. Almost everyone in the military camp had gathered here to watch the commotion. The cheers and applause grew louder and louder. The fat man was considered a victorious general in the camp, but he was actually unable to determine the victor from the battle with Xi Cuo for such a long time. Naturally, he was a little angry, and did not lose his composure, and instead saved up his strength to find the right opportunity to charge towards Xi Cuo again. Xi Cuo was also a little tired and did not dodge this time, and was held by the fat man by the waist.

To be able to lift Xi Cuo's hand, the fatty was truly a genius.

Both of her fists were like iron hammers as they smashed onto Xi Cuo's waist. With Xi Cuo's fall, the ice on the ground was splattered all over, causing Zhuang Li to scream in shock, her body reacted instinctively as she ran into the encirclement, and after the fatty struck Xi Cuo with her fist, he took the opportunity to slash at Xi Cuo again. The wind was extremely sharp, although she had already seen Zhuang Li, who had charged into the encirclement, she did not have the time to stop, Zhuang Li had also closed her eyes in fright.

Then, she felt a hand wrap around her waist. She opened her eyes to see that the fat man's palm had not touched her, and the Xi Cuo behind her had unknowingly stood up and pulled her back with one hand, turning her body to place her at a safe place. Then, she let go of her grip on the fat man who was charging at her.

Even if West Cold people wrestled, it would be considered a loss even if they were out of the circle.

The crowd instantly erupted into cheers of praise and cheers. They were all asking for the name of the unfamiliar soldier who had defeated Fatty Chang Sheng.

When the leader of the troop saw Xi Cuo gasping for breath in the snow, he was so shocked that he immediately kneeled on the ground.

"Your Majesty …"

Only then did the surrounding people come to their senses as they quickly kneeled down and kowtowed. When the fatty heard this news, he was even more frightened, and immediately kneeled down. When Xi Cuo said the words to stand up, encouraging everyone to work hard and train, the crowd immediately cheered.

After Xi Cuo finished comforting and turned his head to look for Zhuang Li, the latter was initially excited along with the soldiers, but when she looked up, he saw that Xi Cuo's face was gloomy, he was pulled up by him and under the cheers from behind, he walked into the tent.

He received several firm punches from the fatty on his waist, but he was not without pain. Zhuang Li reckoned that if those punches were to land on his body, he would have been chopped into two halves.

Qing You was shocked when she saw Zhuang Li coming in together with Xi Cuo, who was bare-chested and had a green face, so Zhuang Li told her to go to the soldier and get some ointment to help relieve the blood flow of the body.

She originally thought that Xi Cuo's ashen face was hurt by the fatty, but just as she wanted to go out of the tent and see if Qing You had returned, Xi Cuo had pulled her over and she sat down obediently beside the crater.

"What do you think you are? Can you even hold on to your life after being hit by that fatty? "

Zhuang Li was startled, so it turned out that her highness was angry at this kind of thing. She was also feeling wronged as she said those words …

"I wanted to help you too."

He thought that Xi Cuo was going to smack her forehead with his palm, but in the end, he actually lightly landed on top of her head.

"If you can stay in the same place as you, you will be of the greatest help to me!"

Looking at his body that was riddled with scars from years of wars, Zhuang Li realized that perhaps Xi Cuo and her had always lived in two different worlds. Life in the army was not what she understood. The price and life that the victor and the loser had paid was not as easy as she had imagined …

Seeing Zhuang Li's cautious look, he smiled again, and in an instant, the warmth bloomed like a flower.

"No, Your Highness." He actually teased Zhuang Li.

After eating, Xi Cuo would be free to accompany Zhuang Li to the Purple Sky Mountain. Along the way, the scenery was beautiful and charming. Qing You was also in high spirits, chattering non-stop along the way.

The Fanbo City was flat, and was connected to the prairie and the desert. The scenery here was naturally very different from where he was currently standing, with the mountain ranges rising and falling, the mountain ranges and mountains covered with snow, Zhuang Li thought that if Ge Ya knew that she could see this scene, she would probably be so furious that she would jump to her feet.

Although the weather was freezing, the mountain was still full of vitality. There were very few people here, but there were many animals. Because the hunters in Ying Hua City viewed Zi Tian Mountain as their divine mountain, they had never hunted in the city, so the animals were not afraid of humans. Walking and walking, two little snow monkeys came out from the tree hole. She looked really cute.

A snowy monkey seemed to know that most of the people who came here were going to the temple in the mountains, skipping in front of them to create a path.

The stone steps were rather clean, and it seemed like someone was also cleaning them. As they walked, they could already see that in the distance, there was a stone temple built between the cliffs. Zhuang Li almost did not dare believe what she had just seen, as if it was something out of a myth.

They were already halfway up the mountain. The cloud seemed to be under their feet, and they gradually got closer to the divine hall. The gigantic stone pillar also became clearer in their line of sight. There seemed to be complicated patterns on it.

It was only when he really walked under the stone pillar did he see the pillar standing erect between the cliffs and the cave. On top of the pillar, all the initial patterns were actually the small caves carved into the stone pillars. Although they were extremely shallow, there was still a small Buddha statue sitting inside.

The monks in the hall were already standing at the mouth of the cliff to welcome them. They had heard that they were all in the hall reciting scriptures to pray for the entire West Cold.

Zhuang Li followed him forward. The light in this stone cave was dim. The deeper they went, the less light there was. Occasionally, there would be a glimmer of light coming out from the cracks in the stone above their heads. It was like a divine sword that had fallen into the heart of the mortal world.

After walking for a short while, they had already arrived at the other exit of the palace. In an instant, rays of light assaulted their faces. The mountain was already very high, and the clouds were all under their feet, so the light above was always excellent.
