Chapter 245 Sydney City
In that rugged place surrounded by vast snow-capped and undulating snow-capped mountains, an unexpected accident suddenly struck like a thunderclap, causing the originally peaceful journey of Murong Zixi, Jun Feimo and others to instantly become turbulent and dangerous.
"Oh no! There's an avalanche!" Murong Zixi screamed in shock, her voice filled with anxiety and fear that were difficult to conceal.
Her beautiful eyes opened wide, her face filled with fear as she stared up at the towering mountain that was swallowed up by the overwhelming snow in the blink of an eye.
At this critical moment, Jun Feimo stretched out his arms without hesitation and held her tightly in his broad and warm embrace.
Then, he tapped the ground with his toes, and his body rushed away into the distance at an astonishing speed like an arrow shot from a bow.
At the same time, he used all his strength to display his ultimate martial arts skills, and rushed through the layers of flying snow like lightning. His only goal was to ensure Murong Zixi's safety in this thrilling life-and-death moment.
Tian Yiyuda and other companions also showed extraordinary adaptability. They displayed their unique and exquisite lightness skills, and moved flexibly in the harsh environment with howling winds and flying snowflakes like a swallow.
At this moment, they are like a group of dancers bravely fighting against the violent force of nature. Every move and leap is full of thrills and excitement.
Finally, after a thrilling escape, they successfully reached a relatively safe flat area.
Everyone stopped and looked back at the road they had come from, but all they saw was an endless white world. The previous camp, horses, vehicles, and everything else had long been buried deep under the thick snow, disappearing without a trace, as if they had never existed.
Faced with such a tragic situation, everyone couldn't help but feel a strong shock and fear in their hearts.
Murong Zixi sighed softly, her brows unable to hide the regret: "It must be the fierce fight just now that caused this avalanche. The horses and carriages that accompanied us for many days are gone just like that."
Jun Feimo patted her shoulder gently and consoled her: "Xi'er, don't worry too much. Let's go to Xueli City. It is not only a border city of Chu, but also a prosperous place. It is easy to buy carriages and horses."
"Then let's go quickly. It's freezing cold in this horrible weather." Murong Zixi said as she tightened her clothes. Although she still felt a little cold in her heart, the look she gave Jun Feimo was full of trust and dependence.
The group walked hurriedly, as if racing against time, and moved forward with difficulty in the flying snow.
After an hour's arduous journey, the long-awaited city finally appeared before their eyes.
The city gate was bustling with people and people talking and laughing. It was a stark contrast to the desolate scene that I had seen along the way.
These sounds intertwined together, and they chose an inn with a slightly warm appearance from among the many inns to stay in, hoping to get a moment of rest and relaxation here.
The moment you step into the door of the inn, a warm breath hits you in the face, as gentle and comfortable as a spring breeze.
This warm current instantly spread throughout the body, dispelling all the coldness that had accumulated along the way.
Yuda and a few others went out specially to buy some thick robes and wide cloaks so that everyone could better withstand the harsh cold weather.
Tianyi made full use of his keen insight and strong financial resources to quickly select several sturdy and durable carriages and equip them with several strong and powerful horses. In this way, the transportation needed for the subsequent journey was ready.
There was a table of steaming, fragrant and sumptuous dishes in the inn.
Everyone sat around the table, savoring the delicious food and feeling the hard-earned peace and warmth.
At this moment, all the fatigue and hardship seem to have disappeared, leaving only the beautiful vision of looking forward to the future.
As night fell, the lights of Sydney City were still bright. After resting for a night in the inn, Murong Zixi and his group were ready to set off the next day. After breakfast, they set off again.
Murong Zixi was lying lazily in Jun Feimo's broad and solid arms in the carriage. Her eyes were half open, and she looked curiously at the gradually prosperous scene outside the window through the gap of the half-open window, and a gentle smile inadvertently appeared at the corner of her mouth.
"For a border town, it's quite lively!"
Jun Feimo heard this and looked down at the beauty in his arms, his eyes full of doting and tenderness. He gently stroked Zi Xi's soft hair and said softly, "Yes, Dongyang and Chu have experienced many years of war. It is a blessing for the people of both countries to be able to shake hands and sign a peace treaty. This Xueli City, as the border between the two countries, is naturally the first to feel the spring breeze of peace. It is reasonable that merchants gather here and trade is booming."
As the carriage moved slowly forward, the scene outside the window became more vivid.
There are shops on both sides of the street. Various signs are shining in the afterglow of the setting sun. The hawkers' shouts are heard one after another, making the street very lively.
Some were selling fresh fruits and vegetables, with snow pears piled up into a small hill, each one round and plump, with thin skin and tender flesh, making people salivate; some were selling exquisite handicrafts, such as jade hairpins, purses, and embroidered shoes, each revealing the ingenuity and hard work of the craftsmen; and there were also restaurants and teahouses, filled with fragrance, with customers coming in like clouds and constant laughter, a scene of prosperity and peace.
