In the heavy snow, Luo Zhang searched for two days but could not find any trace of Cheng Yaojin and others.
There was really too much snow, and the visibility was only a hundred meters at most. It was not easy to find them with such a sight range!
Counting the time, Cheng Yaojin and others' supplies could last for one day at most, which made Luo Zhang unavoidably anxious.
His hands and feet have been stiff from the cold these days. This is the result of him carrying a lot of dry firewood on his sled and lighting a fire at night. Without these dry firewood, the temperature at night would definitely freeze him into a popsicle. Think of Cheng Yaojin and the others. , I’m afraid it won’t be easy, but I don’t know how many people will die!
Not only was Luo Zhang anxious, but Li Ji, who was building an igloo at the back, was also anxious for the past two days. If he couldn't leave, he would have led his people to search.
I originally thought that Luo Zhang would find the person and come back soon, but two days passed without any news. Not only was there no news from Cheng Yaojin, but Luo Zhang also lost contact. It's strange that he wasn't in a hurry!
In an igloo in the center, Old Poison and Sun Simiao were sitting opposite each other. The two of them were sitting around the campfire, drinking wine and eating barbecue. They were very comfortable.
After drinking for three rounds, the old poisonous man narrowed his eyes and looked at Sun Simiao and said, "Aren't you worried about your grandson's safety at all?"
Sun Simiao smiled and said: "You seem to be more worried than me. If you are worried, just go find it! I didn't stop you!"
The old poisonous man rolled his eyes and said rather viciously: "He is your grandson, not mine. I am just worried that if something happens to your grandson, we will have to break into the Turkic Palace by ourselves. Besides, you are an old immortal." No one is going to die!"
These words made Sun Simiao, who was originally smiling, froze. He couldn't help but groaned angrily: "A dog can't spit out ivory. My grandson has a hard life. How can anyone take it away? Let's just talk about this igloo. Can you think of it?"
"That's true. I don't know how this kid's head is long. He can think of such a way to build a house. He is really a descendant of the immortal!" Old Poison murmured to himself.
"Don't talk nonsense, you are a descendant of an immortal. Are you not afraid of causing trouble? If my grandson is really a descendant of an immortal, he will be going through hardships now. When he becomes a dragon one day, maybe my grandpa will be able to take advantage of him! "Sun Simiao said proudly as he touched his beard.
These words made the old poisonous man look angry again!
However, the two of them didn't pay much attention to the fact that Luo Zhang was in danger. They didn't know whether it was because they had confidence in Luo Zhangyong or for other reasons!
In the wind and snow, Luo Zhang led the sled team forward with difficulty. He made up his mind that if Cheng Yaojin and the others could not be found today, he was going to go back first. Maybe Cheng Yaojin had found Li Ji, and he Wandering outside is like doing useless work!
Suddenly, a guard in front of Luo Zhang turned his head and motioned to Luo Zhang to look forward.
Due to the heavy wind and snow, their faces were covered and their words could not be heard clearly, so they could only sign in sign language.
Luo Zhang looked in the direction pointed by the guard in front and saw some black shadows on a hillside in front of him. This shocked Luo Zhang's spirit, but he did not rush over immediately.
With this visibility, who can tell whether the black figure in front is the Turks or Cheng Yaojin and the others!
Under Luo Zhang's gesture, the deputy general beside him slowly moved forward with a group of people, while Luo Zhang ordered others to be on guard. Once it was determined that there was an enemy ahead, they were ready to wipe out all the Turks!
After waiting for a moment, the deputy general who had just left rode back the same way, approached Luo Zhang and shouted loudly: "Sir, there are our people ahead!"
"Hmm? Finally found them? That's great!" Luo Zhangxi said with a smile.
"Sir, you'd better go and see it yourself!" the lieutenant hesitated.
Although he couldn't see clearly what the deputy general's face looked like, Luo Zhang could tell something was wrong from his words!
Without saying anything else, Luo Zhang patted his horse and headed towards the hillside not far away.
When Luo Zhang rushed to the hillside, his expression froze when he saw the black shadow he had seen before!
I saw hundreds of people standing, sitting, or lying on this hillside and at the foot of the hillside.
These people were all wearing the clothes and armor of the Tang army, and they were obviously from their side.
It's just that these so-called Tang troops were motionless. Even if Luo Zhang dismounted and came closer, these people still didn't make any movement.
"Dead people?" Luo Zhang walked in and took a closer look and found that all these hundreds of people were dead. They seemed to have been frozen to death in an instant.
Thinking back to the bitterly cold wind and snow last night, and looking at the clothes worn by the Tang soldiers in front of me, I couldn't help but sigh. All these Tang soldiers were frozen to death.
A few hundred people is quite a lot. It can be seen from this that Cheng Yaojin and his army should encounter the problem of insufficient supplies. Obviously they cannot hold on for long!
And these corpses also proved one thing, that is, Cheng Yaojin and the others did not return to Li Ji!
Luo Zhang did not let anyone bury these corpses. The current wind and snow were not a good time to break ground, and his men and horses also needed to conserve their physical strength. In the wild and in this extremely cold weather, physical strength was particularly important. Many times, it was not enough. With just a little bit, you can escape. If his soldiers were damaged in battle because of his mistake in issuing orders, Luo Zhang would be sorry!
"Seeing a corpse here means that Mr. Cheng and the others have been here and are not far away. Search carefully for me. Whoever finds it will be rewarded with a hundred taels of gold and two jars of strong wine!" Luo Zhang shouted loudly. roared.
"The Marquis is wise!"
"The Marquis is wise!"
Everyone raised their hands and shouted!
Seeing this, Luo Zhang didn't stop him. This is a flat land with no high peaks. No matter how loud the sound is, there is no danger of avalanche!
Stimulated by Luo Zhang's words and materials, the soldiers searched even harder.
Since traces of the Tang Army have been found here, it is obvious that Cheng Yaojin and the others stayed here. However, it has been a long time and I don’t know how far they have traveled!
Fortunately, Luo Zhang has a way to continue searching.
According to the direction in which these frozen soldiers were facing, Luo Zhang led the sled team to continue searching!
Along the way, more or less fallen Tang troops could be seen, all of them frozen to death. This showed that Luo Zhang was looking in the right direction, and Cheng Yaojin and others were not far ahead.
After another two hours of searching, it was getting dark again. Just when Luo Zhang was about to give up, he heard noises and shouts coming from the front again. The shouts seemed to be filled with ecstasy, which made Luo Zhang behind him feel excited. shock!
I saw the deputy general coming from the front on horseback. He approached Luo Zhang and said, "Sir, we have found it. We have found General Cheng and the others!"
"Besides Cheng Yaojin, is there anyone else?" Luo Zhang asked quickly. After all, Cheng Yaojin and the others were divided into several teams and were not together when they set off!
