Feng Qingxue immediately perked up her ears.

When they were climbing the mountain, they were caught in a blizzard.
The ten soldiers escorting them up the mountain were laden with gear and supplies and were tethered together by ropes tied around their waists to prevent anyone from getting lost in the snow.
