Flying Clouds in Another World

Chapter 178 Watching the Snow in the Afternoon

Seeing that Meng Chong ignored Gao Jinda beside him, Liu Feiyun didn't know whether he really didn't recognize him or was pretending to do so. Anyway, the tall young man was very embarrassed, so he smiled and said, "General Meng, please stop worrying! You should know this young master Gao! He is here on behalf of his father, the county lord, to entertain the troops and send off the local soldiers stationed in the county town!"

Meng Chong was slightly stunned when he heard this: he was either stationed at the frontier or in the camp within the territory throughout the year, and he rarely went to the county town, so naturally he was not familiar with Gao Jinda, and he did not recognize him for a while. Moreover, in the rumors he knew, the reputation of this Gao Jinda was really not very good. However, for the sake of Young Master Liu and the county master, he had to bow in a businesslike manner.

Gao Jinda had obviously been told by his father before coming, and he said some polite words, such as "The soldiers guarding the pass have worked hard!" "The county lord expresses his gratitude on behalf of the elders of the whole county!" "I have prepared some items to show the people's gratitude." This surprised Meng Chong and other soldiers guarding the pass.

After a few pleasantries, Meng Chong accompanied Liu Feiyun and Gao Jinda, two pairs of siblings, into the city. As for the supplies on the vehicles, naturally someone organized the transportation.

As one of the five captains of the Tiger Power Guard, Meng Chong naturally recognized Liu Xiyao. Regarding the arrival of the little girl, Meng Chong also had a look of helplessness and doting on her face, but he was a little annoyed with Gao Xinyi!

"Oh! So you are the daughter of the county lord! But! You really shouldn't come to see the bullshit snow scene at this time! It's almost the end of winter now, and it's the time when those northern barbarians come south to harass! If you really run into them! Don't scare your daughter into falling ill! Go back early tomorrow morning! This place of killing is not a place for a weak woman like you! I don't know what the county lord is thinking! One is fine! But he sent two! Really!"

After hearing these impolite words, the Gao siblings were immediately embarrassed, and one of them had red eyes. Liu Feiyun, who was standing by, was helpless and could only try to smooth things over: "Commander Meng, what you said is a bit too much! Young Master Gao is no longer the same as he was before, and has changed his ways. Otherwise, he would not have come here in the cold wind to comfort the soldiers on behalf of the county master! As for Miss Gao, I forced her to come here to keep me company! Xiyao! Don't you think so!"

"Ah...ah! Yes, yes! Uncle Meng, I thought it was too boring to enjoy the snow alone, so I asked Sister Qiyi to come and keep me company! Uncle Meng, you must not wrongly accuse Sister Qiyi!"

"Uh! Meng Chong has wronged Mr. and Miss Gao! Can you forgive me?" Meng Chong can ignore the face of the Gao brothers and sisters, but he cannot ignore the face of the Liu brothers and sisters. After all, these two are his masters!

"Since the young lady wants to see the snow scenery, she must do it early. I will call a militiaman from a village near Guancheng to be her guide! Young master, you can take advantage of this opportunity to have a simple meal!" After saying that, Meng Chong left first.

In this small city, in addition to the iron guards and local soldiers stationed all year round, there are also some local warriors drawn from all over the county. These local warriors are essentially civilians, and are spontaneously formed armed forces. They usually farm and work, and receive some simple combat training in their spare time. In wartime, they either protect their own villages or serve as auxiliary civilians in the army. And in this Lengfengkou city, there are naturally local warriors stationed for a long time as auxiliary!

Soon, after having a simple meal, Liu Feiyun and his companions, led by a local militiaman, took a walk around the cold wind outlet.

Lengfengkou is located on the southern side of the Yannan Mountains, as if a gap was cut out on an east-west ridge. The back of the ridge is a series of mountains, and the south side is low hills and the alluvial plain of the Linghe River. The Duxiu Peak on the east side of Lengfengkou is the highest peak within dozens of miles.

Standing on Duxiu Peak, looking to the north at the winding ancient road, to the south at the Linghe Plain, and then looking left and right at the mountains on the east and west sides, it is really a different feeling!

"Brother, look, isn't that our home?"

"Oh! I can even see the county town!"

"It turns out that the Rin River has taken several turns!"

"This valley road is so long!"

"Wow! Look at that cliff in the southwest. There's so much snow on the top!"

"Hey! This is so funny! The two peaks are so close to each other, but most of the snow on one peak has melted, while the snow on the other peak has not melted at all!"

Liu Xiyao looked around excitedly and talked non-stop. She was so excited that she shouted "Ah...Ah...Ah..." towards the mountains on the north side. Coincidentally, this caused the snow on a cliff not far away to collapse, resulting in a small avalanche, which made her even more excited.

"Hahahaha! It seems that my magical power has reached perfection! Brother! What do you think of me? Am I awesome?"

"Awesome! She's my sister, Liu Feiyun! How can she not be awesome? Okay, okay! Look, the sun is about to set, let's go back quickly! Besides, it's not good to look at the snow all over the mountain for too long! You might get snow blindness! Let's go quickly, don't let sister Qiyi and the others halfway up the mountain wait anxiously!" Liu Feiyun advised while flattering the little girl.

"Brother, look, it's a sunset! We can actually see a sunset in the middle of winter! How lucky! The sunset is so beautiful! Especially against the backdrop of the snow all over the mountains, it is so beautiful that it is beyond description! If Sister Qiyi was here, she might even be able to chant a good poem! Unfortunately, she is not a martial artist, so she can only stop halfway up the mountain to look at the remaining snow!"

"Alright, alright! Let's go! Although we are martial artists and the guide has found a mountain path that is easier to walk on, the snow on the path still hasn't melted completely! Going down the mountain will probably be even harder than going up, so we can't delay any longer! Let's go!"

In the end, the little girl Liu Xiyao had to go down the mountain with a feeling of being unsatisfied after being repeatedly urged by Liu Feiyun.

Fortunately, Duxiu Peak was right next to the pass. Even though the winding mountain road added a lot of distance, they quickly met up with the Gao brothers and sisters and their guards who were parked halfway up the mountain.

However, both Gao Qiyi and Gao Jinda seemed to be in a bad condition, and they were obviously unable to bear the cold wind blowing halfway up the mountain! The two of them were not martial artists, and they rarely walked in the mountains, so naturally they were not as cold-resistant as Liu Feiyun and the others!

"Oh! Prince! You are finally back! Let's go quickly! It will be completely dark in a while!" Gao Jinda said impatiently as soon as he saw Liu Feiyun.
