With a warehouse full of supplies, I stood alone as king in this chaotic world, gun in hand.

"Your Highness!" Li Ke suddenly rushed in and handed a small bamboo tube to Nangong Wu. "This is a message I just received from Li Feng via carrier pigeon."

"A letter from Lifeng!"

Everyone turned to look, eager to know what was happening at Lindongguan.

Nangong Wu opened the lid of the small bamboo tube, took out the small scroll of paper inside, and read:

"We have sent messages by carrier pigeon many times but have not received a reply. The imperial rations are two months late and have not arrived yet. The remaining rations are only enough for the soldiers to eat for five or six days. To make matters worse, winter came early this year and many horses have frozen to death. The soldiers also have no winter clothes to keep warm."

"Bang!" Nangong Xiao slammed his fist on the table in anger. "You dog emperor, this is going to freeze and starve 300,000 soldiers guarding the border to death!"

"Because Emperor Mingde and Nangong Chengkun believe that the Zhenyuan army was brought out by the Zhenyuan Prince's Mansion, they think we won't ignore it." Nangong Wu sneered, "But the more they do this, the more they push the 300,000-strong army towards us."

No one will pledge allegiance to a cold-blooded emperor, a court that disappoints its soldiers.

"Sister, the grain supplies at Lindong Pass are only enough for a few days. Now the heavy snow has blocked the mountain passes, and even if Emperor Mingde wanted to help, he couldn't save them!" Nangong Xiao said anxiously.

Nangong Wu glanced at the date. "Li Feng wrote this letter eight days ago. The soldiers have been without food for two or three days now."

"Damn it!"

"Princess, only you can save them."

"I'll head to Lindong Pass now." Without delay, Nangong Wu handed the note to Nangong Xiao. "Brother, I'll leave some extra food and money. We'll be back in three days at most."

"Then be careful," Nangong Xiao instructed her.

"Your Highness, I will go with you."

The guards all wanted to go with her.

Nangong Wu looked at them and said, "Li Shuang and Li Ke, come with me. Li Zhan, you two stay here to help your brother. The remnants of the Snake Spirit Society and Changyang Temple may have already infiltrated Ruyang City. You must all be careful."

Hearing this, everyone's expression turned sour.

"Understood."

"Okay, you guys come with me to the backyard." Nangong Wu stepped out.

She went to the backyard where several houses had not collapsed. First, she laid a thick plastic sheet on the ground, then used her mind to take out some rice and noodles, and then put another plastic sheet on the wall to prevent moisture.

"Princess, there aren't many refugees from other places right now, so this amount of food is enough!" Li Zhan said.

"Hmm." Nangong Wu went to the second house and brought out some oil, salt, sugar, coarse cloth, military quilts, and so on.

"It's already winter, and the temperature could drop at any time, so please be careful."

"Your Highness, rest assured, the weather here is mild, and even if it cools down, it won't be too cold," Li Zhan reassured her.

"Then we're leaving!" Nangong Wu walked back to the front office, said goodbye to Nangong Xiao, and then left with Li Shuang and Li Ke.

They rode out of Runan City, found an open space to stop, and prepared to fly to Lindongguan.

"Chirp—"

Nangong Wu looked up and saw that Lie Feng had followed her.

It must have been Nangong Xiao who sent them along, so that they could maintain communication.

Nangong Wu brought out the small helicopter, and the three of them got in.

The helicopter slowly rose and flew northeast.

Runan City is located at the southernmost part of the Western Yan Kingdom, at the junction of the Western Yan Kingdom, the Eastern Jin Kingdom, and the Southern Qi Kingdom. Lindong Pass is located in the northeastern part of the Western Yan Kingdom, right at the junction of the Eastern Jin Kingdom and the Northern Di Kingdom. The terrain is flat, and the Eastern Jin Kingdom has always coveted this place, which is the largest northern gateway of the Western Yan Kingdom.

If Nangong Wu and her group wanted to go to Lindong Pass, they would have to cross the entire Western Yan Kingdom, a straight-line distance of about 4,200 to 4,500 kilometers.

She flew for more than an hour, covering over 800 kilometers, and when she saw houses on the ground in the distance, she landed the plane.

The plane needs to be sent back to space for refueling, and she also wants to ask where this place is.

"Princess, there are houses about a mile ahead. Please go into your space to recharge, and I'll go ask for directions first!" Li Ke said.

"Let's go together." Nangong Wu telepathically retracted the helicopter and brought out the three horses.

Human hearts are unpredictable; it's best if they don't separate when they're traveling.

"Let's go ask for directions first."

The three of them mounted their horses and headed towards the small village ahead.

But these outsiders also made the villagers wary.

Nangong Wu spent two taels of silver to find out where she was before she could continue her journey.

The helicopter has a speed of 400 kilometers per hour. At this speed, it would take them at least five hours to fly to Lindongguan.

Nangong Wu thought of the 300,000-strong army that had run out of food, so she didn't dare to linger. She refueled and left, and when she got hungry, she asked Eileen to drive for her.

After traveling more than two thousand miles, they saw that the ground was covered with white snow.

It's already snowing here, and Lindongguan is the northernmost place, so it must be incredibly cold.

After refueling five times and flying for five hours and four thousand two hundred miles, Nangong Wu landed the plane again.

She glanced at the time; it was already 2:25 a.m.

Li Shuang took off her headset, looked at the snow-covered landscape outside, and said with great concern, "I wonder where we are?"

"We can only wait until dawn to continue the search," Nangong Wu said helplessly.

It was freezing cold outside, and there were no houses around, so it was impossible to pinpoint the location.

"It's cold outside, let's all go inside and eat something before we rest." Nangong Wu telepathically sent herself and the helicopter into the space.

Eileen cooked some hot porridge for them, but none of the three of them ate it. After washing up, they all went to bed.

In winter, it gets light late; it's only just getting light around eight o'clock in the morning.

Nangong Wu and the other two had finished eating the meat porridge and were ready to set off.

She glanced at the compass and decided to head east.

Because the north is sparsely populated, we are afraid that the plane will fly further and further away. However, there is a river to the east. If we see a river, we can just follow the river northward.

However, after flying for half an hour, all they could see was snow-covered landscape. They couldn't see a river or even a single house.

Nangong Wu sensed something was wrong and immediately changed direction, flying south.

Li Shuang and Li Ke both held binoculars and looked around for people.

After flying for nearly half an hour, Li Ke finally spotted a house and gestured for Nangong Wu to stop the plane.

All three of them got off the plane, their legs sinking into the snow above their knees.

Li Ke said, "Your Highness, there are houses about two miles to the east, but the snow is too thick to ride a horse, and it would be difficult to walk there."

"Okay, you two go inside the space and wait. I have my own way." Nangong Wu sent Li Shuang and Li Ke into the space with her mind and then created a snowmobile.

In her previous life, she carried out missions all over the world and had all kinds of transportation, so this short distance was no problem for her.

"boom!"

She rode her snowmobile and quickly found several houses.

The motorcycle noise was probably a bit loud, because someone opened the door and peeked out. Seeing her riding something strange, they immediately became alert. "Who are you?"
