Seeing Dongming Ziyu's frown, Mo Wen continued to persuade: "Master, take care of yourself and go into the cave to drink some hot soup. You can't collapse at this time."

Dongming Ziyu nodded, turned around and walked towards the cave where he stayed. After taking a few steps, he suddenly stopped.

He heard rapid footsteps, and someone was running towards him.

Mo Wen also stopped and looked in the direction of the footsteps.

I saw an accompanying guard running over, with an expression on his face that was a little excited and a little incredible.

Dongming Ziyu had infinite hope in his eyes and asked in a deep voice: "What's going on?"

The guard was covered in mud, as if he had rolled in a mud puddle. The temperature on the snow-capped mountains was so low that his clothes were frozen, making it difficult for him to kneel down and salute.

Dongming Ziyu raised his hand to signal him to excuse himself and asked, "What's wrong with you? But what did you find?"

The guard crawled over and said anxiously: "Your Majesty, I discovered something strange. Your Majesty must still be alive!"

Dongming Ziyu's eyes lit up and he said: "Don't be anxious, speak slowly!"

"When I was searching for traces of the emperor and prince, I accidentally slipped down the snow slope and fell into a small stream! I found this from the stream!" As he said this, he bent his arms with difficulty and took it out of his arms.

An object was presented to Dongming Ziyu with both hands.

"What stream?" Dongming Ziyu's eyes showed a look of surprise. Where did this icy and snowy stream come from?

At this time, Mo Wen took the thing from the guard's hand, with a shocked expression on his face, and handed it to Dongming Ziyu with both hands, "Master, look! There is something fishy!"

Dongming Ziyu looked at it and his pupils shrank. They turned out to be a few maple tree leaves, and the leaves were green.

The guard was bruised and swollen from the fall, and was in a state of embarrassment, but the leaves were intact.

Dongming Ziyu was sure that the leaf must be related to Jing Yu. He took the leaf from Mo Wen's hand, turned it over and looked at it carefully, and found that there were words engraved on the leaf.

When I saw the handwriting, it was Jing Yu's. Every leaf was engraved with: Peace.

Dongming Ziyu was overjoyed and said to the guard: "Go and change your clothes and take me to find the creek! I will be rewarded afterwards!"

The guard looked a little naive, his lips were trembling and turned purple from the cold, and he didn't react for a moment.

Mo Wen kicked him and scolded him: "You idiot! Why don't you thank me quickly!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness... poof!" His cotton pants froze to an iron plate, and he couldn't kneel down, so he suddenly fell to the ground.

Mo Wen smiled at the two guards behind him and said, "Bring this guy back to the cave quickly and let him drink ginger soup and take a hot bath!"

Dongming Ziyu's mood improved a lot, and he went back to the cave, ate something and drank hot soup.

When the guard knew that the Emperor was waiting, he did not dare to take a hot bath, changed his clothes, drank ginger soup, and came to lead the way.

It took two hours of walking to reach the creek. The creek was very small and shallow, flowing into a lake in the valley.

The lake was only covered with a thin layer of ice, and the lake was surrounded by layers of white crystals.

Mo Wen dipped his finger into the white crystal, put it to his mouth, tasted it, and said, "This stream is not frozen. I thought it was a hot spring, but I didn't expect it to be a saltwater lake."

He knows that seawater contains salt and is not easy to freeze even in winter. The water here has a high salt content, so it is like seawater and is not easy to freeze.

Mo Xiang pointed to the intersection of the saltwater lake and the creek and said, "Master, there seem to be a few leaves there!"

Dongming Ziyu looked over and saw a few patches of green, "Bring it here!"

Don't think about rising from the ground and borrowing strength from the thin ice a few times, just like a bird flying across the water and taking the blade back in the blink of an eye.

"Master, these leaves also have words on them!" Mo Mo wanted to show the leaves to Dongming Ziyu.

Dongming Ziyu took it and took a look. Some had "peace" written on them, while others had "we are all safe" written on them.

Everyone looked happy: Great! Both the emperor and the prince are fine!

That’s it, this word is written on the green maple leaves, it’s so weird!

Dongming Ziyu guessed that Jing Yu had taken the leaves from his personal space, and gave the leaves to Mo Wen, "Give some of these leaves to Wang Feng, and send some back to Beijing."

Although no one was found, this is still good news.

Mo Wen immediately divided the leaf into two parts, called out two secret guards, and asked them to do it.

Dongming Ziyu said: "We should be able to find the emperor and the others by walking upstream along the stream."

We found a few more leaves on the road, and everyone felt more hopeful.

When they reached the end of the stream, they all had a sad face. Because the stream passed through a gap in the mountain, and the gap was covered with years of ice and snow. It could barely fit a fist into it, let alone a person.

Dongming Ziyu looked at the towering snow-capped mountains in front of him. It was possible to climb, but it would be difficult.

Mo Wen looked up at the snow-capped mountains and felt like crying, "Such a high mountain is covered with ice and snow that has not melted for many years. It would take some effort to climb up. And the air above is thin, so it may not be possible to climb up."

Survive. Moreover, this mountain stretches for hundreds of miles. If you climb over it, you may not be able to find the source of the stream."

Dongming Ziyu nodded, "The stream is so small, I guess it flows from the mountain, so you may not necessarily find it on the opposite side. However, you have to try and ask Doctor Bai for some oxygen bags."

Mo Wen's eyes lit up and he said, "Yes!"

Everyone looked at the mountain with heavy hearts. No one knew what was behind the mountain.

Dongming Ziyu held the leaves in his hands and calmed down, "If the emperor and Jingyang are really behind the mountain, then they couldn't have climbed over the mountain."

So many people traveling over mountains and ridges will definitely leave traces, but Snowball can't find any traces.

Looking at the narrow gap, Dongming Ziyu felt blessed and asked, "Can Snowball get in?"

Snowball is a spiritual animal. It can become bigger, but can it also become smaller?

Mo Wen pulled Xueqiu out of his arms. He had grown into the size of an adult cat. He was so delicious and lazy that he was no longer cute.

"Can you follow the gap and find the emperor?"

Snowball was very reluctant, it was too cold, so he yawned and pretended not to understand.

Dongming Ziyu glanced at it coldly and said: "The emperor will be happy to find him, and he may be able to come up with many elixirs."

Mo Wenye snorted coldly: "If you don't go, I will complain to the emperor. You will never get the elixir again, and the eldest princess and Lord Feng won't want to see you anymore!"

"Meow meow!" Bullying me!

He stretched his waist, and with a "swish", like lightning, he got into the gap and merged with the ice and snow in the blink of an eye.

Everyone was shocked. The gap was only a little wider than the exit. It was obvious that Snowball could not fit inside, but Snowball got in smoothly.

I hope the snowball won't get stuck somewhere and starve to death or freeze to death.

Naturally, Dongming Ziyu would not tie all his hopes to Xueqiu and let others search nearby to see if there were other places to go in and out.
