Although she knew that traveling in snowy weather would be very difficult, Shang Ruyi truly hadn't imagined it would be this difficult.
Just before the city gates of the Eastern Capital closed, she slipped out, immediately feeling the winds and snow roaring fiercely, almost sweeping her and her horse into the sky. As darkness fell, she had to travel alone and couldn't bear a torch high, so she had to feel her way and race along the road in the dark.
The cold wind was like a knife, slicing across her face, causing a bone-chilling pain.
Her hand holding the reins was exposed to the wind and snow with no covering at all, making them so numb from the cold that she almost lost all feeling in them, forcing her to continuously jerk the reins with stiff hands to urge her horse forward.
This was the second time in her life that she encountered such hardship.
