Chapter 197 Protecting the Princess
Mu Zixin didn't quite believe it, but still accepted it.
Tang Ning warned him not to let it touch his body, as it would corrode him.
In the end, Song Nuannuan gave her something more practical, anti-inflammatory and heat-clearing and detoxifying medicines.
The most important thing is anti-inflammatory drugs, which are essential when traveling around the world.
Tang Ning stayed in the space almost all the time during the journey, so the journey was not delayed at all.
The closer they got to the border, the colder the weather became, and Tang Ning soon became unwilling to go out.
Three days before the arrival, heavy snow fell from the sky and the post station collapsed. No one inside survived, either they were crushed to death or frozen to death.
Maybe some of them escaped, but they may not be able to come back in the short term.
The team had to find a place to rest temporarily, but there was no place to stay within a radius of ten miles. They had been traveling with great difficulty just to reach this post station.
The snow was so heavy that the carriage could not move forward. There was no village in front and no shop behind.
If they stayed where they were, not only would Gu Mufeng and his companions not be able to bear it, but even the attendants and guards would probably freeze to death.
It was necessary to get off the carriage and move forward. Tang Ning knew the importance of this matter and quickly put on thick clothes.
I wore thermal underwear and a sweater inside, and a thermal vest on top of the sweater. On top of the vest, I wore a down jacket that I made myself, which was 100% filled.
I wore thermal pants and cotton pants underneath, and a pair of fleece-lined and thickened pants on the outside.
I put on a thick hat, a thick mask and thick gloves.
Looking at the world where water turned into ice, Tang Ning no longer felt the joy he had at the beginning when he saw the snow.
Seeing Tang Ning's thorough preparation, Gu Mufeng fell silent for a rare moment.
There was nothing she could do. Tang Ning was most afraid of the cold. She even had several heat packs stuck to her body and a hot water bottle in her hand.
"What is that the princess is wearing?"
"It looks so weird."
"Isn't she cold dressed like that?"
Only Gu Mufeng knew how warm Tang Ning felt like this, when Tang Ning put the down jacket on him for the first time.
Only then did he realize that there were clothes made of this material in the world that were not only light but also very warm, and didn't even require cotton.
Tang Ning said it was made of goose and duck down. If the army used it, they would no longer have to worry about border invasions in winter.
Gu Mufeng just realized that Tang Ning had actually started collecting them a long time ago, just waiting for him to pay the money to buy them.
Most of the guards wore cotton-padded clothes, but even so, the skin exposed outside was still numb from the cold.
"Open the box on the carriage."
There were originally some miscellaneous items in the box on the carriage. Tang Ning packed the things in the box to tighten the space and replaced them with a homemade down jacket.
Each person was given a room, which was warmer than a cotton coat, but light and comfortable, and changed into old leather cotton shoes.
"This dress is surprisingly warm."
"That's right, it's not heavy at all."
"What is this made of? Why is it so comfortable?"
"It looks like catkins, but catkins aren't this warm."
"It's not catkins. It smells a bit stinky."
He had a pointed nose. Tang Ning didn't say anything and others didn't dare to ask. Those who were really curious asked Gu Mufeng privately.
Gu Mufeng didn't say anything either. If the information was leaked, the price of duck feathers and goose feathers would definitely go up.
Travel light and walk faster.
Although Tang Ning was dressed strangely, she didn't slow down the others at all. She even wanted to run wildly in the snow with her snow boots on.
Gu Mufeng was scared to death. He got a board for Tang Ning to sit on and let Gu Mufeng pull him.
When going up a hill, she would get off and walk, and when walking on flat ground or down a hill, she would let Gu Mufeng pull her.
She found it very fun.
But Song Nuannuan didn't dare to come out at all. She would be scared when she saw the snow.
She died in the snow, and she had some stress reactions when she saw snow and ice.
Tang Ning would take some snow and put it into the space every day, so the snow would not melt inside the space.
Song Nuannuan forced herself to adapt and took her children to play in the snow.
Gu Mujun's men left when they reached the border because Gu Mujun knew how afraid Song Nuannuan was of snow. She almost never went out when it snowed every year.
She just hides in the house and comes out only when the snow stops.
So it is impossible for Song Nuannuan to still be at the border covered with snow. She can't stand it because it is so cold.
But Tang Ning chose to bring Song Nuannuan with her. The more impossible a situation was, the more Tang Ning wanted to make it possible.
It was a pity for Gu Mujun. He almost searched all the places Song Nuannuan had been before, but still couldn't find the person he was looking for.
When they arrived at the border, Tang Ning finally understood what kind of life these soldiers were living. The finished down jackets were in her space. Tang Ning didn't care about the small amount of military pay, but they would have to work together frequently in the future. If she didn't charge money from the beginning, she would feel embarrassed to do so later, and the deal would not be done.
Gu Mufeng took her to find the stationed general, who was very respectful to Gu Mufeng.
But he wasn't very friendly towards Tangning, but Tangning didn't care.
After all, they had just been cheated out of a large sum of money. Yes, the down jackets were a bit expensive.
But Tang Ning really didn't make any money from them, after all, the cost of production was special, plus the shipping cost.
If Tang Ning really did the transportation himself, he would hardly make any profit, but Tang Ning is a humanoid transport machine.
So you earn more.
"Princess, someone has come from the military camp, please ask the prince to come over."
Tang Ning felt cold, so he had someone build a kang in the house and keep it warm. He usually played in the house during the day and almost always went to sleep in the space at night.
I rarely sleep outside, after all, it is spring all year round in this space.
Tangning was secretly eating spicy noodles in the room. Upon hearing this, she looked at the palace maid with some confusion:
"Please go find the prince, my lord. Why are you looking for me?"
Tangning took a big sip of juice. Seeing that the maid hadn't left yet, she looked at her with some dissatisfaction. "What's wrong? It's so cold outside. Is she trying to get some heat?"
"princess!"
Before the maid could say anything, Tang Ning threw a bench at her.
She had never seen this palace maid before, so she was definitely not from the palace.
"what!!!"
The maid screamed and covered her injured forehead. Tang Ning was already on guard.
If the palace maid dared to approach, she would pull her into the space and kill her.
"Princess, what's wrong?"
"what happened?"
"Protect the princess!!"
A large group of people rushed in and surrounded the palace maid.
"Princess, are you okay?"
The personal maid hurriedly protected Tang Ning behind her. This maid was sent by Gu Mujun and was said to be both civil and military.
It was given to Tang Ning to protect him, but in Tang Ning's eyes, it was used to monitor him.
Therefore, he had many secrets and was very worried. With this palace maid around, he was even more cautious in his daily work.
