The gambling concubine has an appointment, the prince will come again

Chapter 167 On the Iceberg
Tao Mo and his party finally arrived at the iceberg that was said to have purple toads on the third day. After Tao Mo asked Xiao Hong and Mo Yang to buy the carriage, they put all their luggage in an inn and ordered someone to take care of it. After that, they started the climbing trip.

Tao Mo, Situ Yin, Xiao Hong, Mo Yang, and the people from the Dark Palace who followed are resting on the way up the ice mountain. They are all people with strong martial arts, so naturally they will not be afraid of the cold and height, but they have already climbed the ice mountain. It's halfway there and there is no news, which makes everyone a little frustrated.

Tao Mo and Situ Yin were eating the dry food they carried with them in a clean-swept field. No matter how powerful their martial arts were, they were still human beings, not to mention that human beings were made of iron and steel.

Tao Mo gnawed at the scallion pancake in his hand. It was brought out from the inn in the morning, and it was still hot in his arms!

"If there are no accidents, we will be able to climb to the top of the mountain in a short time. I don't know if there will be some new discoveries." Tao Mo said vaguely to Situ Yin while chewing the green onion pancake in his hand.

"Well. After all, we haven't climbed it yet. Let's take a look when we go. Doesn't it mean that the purple toad is on the top of the mountain? We can definitely find it." Situ Yin comforted Tao Mo. There is no hope, after all, no one has been here, and has never seen whether the purple toad really exists.

Situ Yin took out a bottle of hot water and handed it to Tao Mo. Tao Mo sighed comfortably after taking a sip, and said, "I should have looked up some more information if I knew it earlier. I'm lucky, I don't know if that purple toad is an animal!"

"Probably not. Although I haven't seen it, I have read some records about the purple toad in a book." Situ Yin frowned and pondered, and recalled: "Some people say that the purple toad is the name of a flower. Some people say that it is a medicinal herb, and others say that it is actually just a toad. There are many opinions, and who knows the truth."

Tao Mo couldn't help but widen his eyes after hearing the reply from the dark guard, and with a dejected expression on his face, he said in a dejected manner: "Then this is difficult? We don't know, no one knows yet. If you want to ask someone! When we go up the mountain in a while, if we see something that may be a purple toad, we will take it! No matter what it is, we can always try our luck!"

"I'm afraid we won't even be lucky." Situ Yin looked at
Tao Mo's high spirits interrupted her enthusiasm somewhat unbearably, pointing out to her the reality they are in now.

"We know the purple toad, and there must be some people who know it. Although it is a very secret thing, those who know it will always try their luck. Many people must have visited this iceberg before, and I have never heard of anyone I took away the news about Purple Toad, so it's not easy to get it." Situ Yin smiled wryly and shook her head, she was such an innocent girl.

Tao Mo rolled his eyes when he heard this, and said, "Then should we be thankful that it's hard to find, or should we be disappointed that it's hard to find?"

Situ Yin felt helpless when he heard Tao Mo's optimistic explanation. He patted Tao Mo's head and said, "We are lucky! We will definitely find it!"

"Well, yes! The purple toad is mine!" Tao Mo clenched his fists confidently, and said, "Hurry up and eat, everyone, we'll set off after eating!"

After a period of renovation, everyone started to look for the purple toad again.

Around noon, a group of people finally climbed to the top of this iceberg. The top of this iceberg is the highest point of the whole mountain, and it is also the coldest place. Feeling tingling.

Tao Mo stood beside Situ Yin wearing the coat made of red fox fur, and his words were still breathless.

"There is nothing on the top of the mountain, and there is still a constant cold wind! Two days ago, I was still living in summer, and it was winter in a blink of an eye. Such a big contrast makes people get used to it!"

"Cover it up a bit, and keep the wind out." Situ Yin tightened Tao Mo's collar tightly and said with concern, "Let's look ahead and see if we find anything."

Tao Mo lowered his head, his cheeks were a little red, and Situ Yin's every move was very seductive, which made her, who faced him day and night, a little uncontrollable.

"Okay, there's still a long way to go, let's look further ahead." Tao Mo whispered.

A group of people continued to walk forward and inspected. The mountain road on the flat ground was a little easier to walk than the uphill, but because they had to look while walking, their speed was not much faster.

But they still found nothing, the entire top of the iceberg was covered by heavy snow, although there is no snow yet, but it is said that the snow here will be heavier at night, they want to find a place that is higher and sheltered from the wind for a while. live.

This place is all white, without any other colors, not even a single plant, let alone purple toads. Tao Mo couldn't help but feel more and more disappointed when she thought about it. Suddenly, she felt someone squeeze her hand , in this cold place, that trace of warmth entered her heart.

Tao Mo looked up, and found that it was Situ Yin who had been by her side all the time, and Situ Yin also noticed her somewhat disappointed face, so he used his own way to comfort her, he didn't want to see a trace of love on her face. Situ Yin hoped that Tao Mo would always be happy by his side without any worries, and he also hoped that with his own strength, he could give her all the happiness.

"Don't worry, let's take a look again." Situ Yin comforted with a gentle smile, seeing Tao Mo nod his head in agreement with him, and felt relieved after accepting his comfort.

"Master, I just went to investigate, and found a cave not far ahead, where I can rest for a while." Said a dark guard who went ahead to investigate ahead of time.

Tao Mo was overjoyed when he heard that, he finally found something like a cave, and he didn't know if he could find the trace of the purple toad, so he hurriedly asked, "How far is that cave?"

"If you go back to Madam, it will be about a mile away." The dark guard answered Tao Mo's question without looking at Situ Yin's instructions. After so long, their subordinates also need to know some news and be able to read their faces. OK!It is obvious that my master likes his wife so much, and after I answered so directly, the master did not show any displeasure, obviously I did the right thing!

Tao Mo couldn't help but blush when he heard Situ Yin's subordinates calling himself 'Madam' so directly. He called him so directly, did other subordinates of Situ Yin also call him that? Does this mean? They acknowledged their existence, and the title 'madam' made people blush.

Tao Mo lowered his head and slowly digested it by himself, and no longer took the subordinate's words. He originally wanted to ask about Zi Toad but forgot to ask, and now he was just acting like a little girl.

Tao Mo, oh Tao Mo, why did you blushed just because of the word 'Ma'am' as a dignified building owner!Where is the landlord who is usually so quick to kill without blinking an eye? Will your subordinates believe me when I say that?Believe it or not, you will laugh to death!

Tao Mo thought to himself secretly.

Situ Yin looked at Tao Mo's appearance, and smiled clearly. This smile seemed to bloom a flower in the cold iceberg here, like a ray of sunshine breaking into the cold, which made people feel unable to move. open your eyes.

"Go down, order to go down, let's go quickly, hurry up to that cave and then rest." Situ Yin returned to his indifferent look to his subordinates, and said without emotion.

"Yes." After receiving the master's order, the hidden guard quickly retreated to make some arrangements.

Situ Yin looked at Tao Mo who still had his head down and didn't know where his fugue had gone, and said, "What are you still thinking about?"

"Ah, ah!" Tao Mo snapped back to his senses, looked around, and asked, "Well, where's the hidden guard? I haven't asked him about the purple toad yet!"

"Let's go and have a look by ourselves in a while. Not far ahead is that cave." Situ Yin said while looking at Tao Mo's cute look, holding back a smile.

A group of people continued to walk forward, and indeed they arrived at the cave after a short distance. It was a big cave with some snow inside, but it was spacious and bright, and could accommodate many people.

Tao Mo and Situ Yin saw that the wind was getting stronger and the sky was getting darker. When it got cold, it would get dark soon, so they asked everyone to pack up and prepare to go into the cave for the night.

After the sky was almost completely dark, everyone packed up their preparations to spend the night in the cave. A few people kept vigil near the entrance of the cave, while others sat and rested in the cave, and even lit a fire to keep warm.

Tao Mo and Situ Yin leaned against each other to rest in the innermost part of the cave. Tao Mo leaned against Situ Yin's arms, with the red fox fluff he was wearing on his face resting on his face, feeling very comfortable.

"Situ Yin, is our way of searching right or wrong? It's impossible to be as lucky as we were when we found Bingti Buddha's Heart Lotus every time." Tao Mo leaned against Situ Yin's arms, his little face full of sadness and melancholy.

Situ Yin patted the shoulder of the person in his arms, and said with guilt and pity: "It's all my fault, I made you suffer with me."

Tao Mo heard Situ Yin say this, looked up at him, and saw Situ Yin's uneasy expression, she held Situ Yin's cheek with both hands, put her forehead against Situ Yin's forehead, and said: "Don't be like this, I am willing, everything I do for you is not bitter or not, I am your wife, you are my husband-in-law, aren't you?"

Seeing Tao Mo's serious expression, Situ Yin took Tao Mo into his arms and said, "Thank you, my little Mo'er, you are enough for a lifetime."

"En." Tao Mo also hugged Situ Yin tightly back, and buried his whole face in his arms. If you have a husband like this, what more can a woman ask for!
