Ch. 255 Looking for Snow Mountain Mists

Of course, Chu Lian obviously wasn't allowed to go in the end, so she stayed in the mansion.

However, she wasn't silly enough to just wait around doing nothing. She compiled modern tips and tricks for hiking onto a sheet of paper for He Changdi to take along with him.

Although Chu Lian had never climbed Mount Everest in her past life, she had tried climbing some other snowy mountains. Furthermore, she had taken the time to take several lessons under a professional coach, so it was obvious that she was more well-trained for mountain climbing than the ancients.

He Sanlang tucked the list of 'things to note' away into his clothes. The thin slip of paper felt like a personal heater for his heart.

When he looked at the writing and saw how different it was to 'Chu Lian's' writing in his past life, He Changdi didn't know why he didn't feel a single shred of alarm. Conversely, the tightly wound nerves in his heart relaxed.

The northern border troops had achieved an overwhelming victory over the hundred thousand-strong Tuhun army, and this news only took two days to reach Suzhou City, which was next to Lake Qianshan.

Suzhou City then passed on the news to the capital, sent out at the highest speed and priority.

The scourge of the north had been defeated, and it was nearly New Year. If the good news could reach the capital before New Year's Eve, then the capital's celebrations would be even more joyous.

With their borders safe and their tributary states coming down to pay their respects for New Year, it was a double blessing for the Great Wu Dynasty.

When the news reached Suzhou City, Xiao Bojian was in the middle of drinking some tea inside his tent.

Three men dressed in black were kneeling in the center.

One stood right next to Xiao Bojian at his usual place. He was trying his best to erase all signs of his presence, afraid that he might provoke his unstable master somehow.

Xiao Bojian's cool gaze swept over the three kneeling men. Although his tone seemed normal, the three men knew exactly what he meant when he spoke. They couldn't help but shiver in fear.

"One, settle this according to our standard procedures."

Even the leader of the secret guards, One, couldn't hold back a shiver from the unfeeling words.

However, he didn't have any right to plead for mercy for them. He walked up to the three men and stuffed a small brown pill in each person's mouth so quickly that they couldn't react.

After having the small pill forcefully fed down their throats, the faces of the three men turned deathly pale.

"It's your last chance now. You know what will happen if this poison isn't cured after a month," One warned.

Following that, Xiao Bojian dismissed them with a wave of his hand.

One took his place at Xiao Bojian's side again, turning back into an invisible person.

Only he knew what he felt inside at this moment.

He just couldn't understand how a pampered, weak girl like Honoured Lady Jinyi could have escaped from the hands of their deadly operatives. She had also been able to kill the four operatives before escaping... His throat suddenly felt a little dry and cold sweat gathered on his back.

Xiao Bojian's features had always been more feminine. The threatening aura draped around him only emphasised the sinister cast of his face. Now that the northern border troops had won the northern war, there was no longer any need for the northwestern army to continue staying in Suzhou City. He believed the Emperor would recall the northwestern army once he received the news and send them back to their original posts.
