Although the northern part of Xinjiang has formed a sensational baby-eating custom because of the special climate, after five or six years of harvest nourishment, everyone's habits are much milder than usual. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Xue Ying and Cai Hua followed the grain planting route in the Western Regions to investigate, and on the surface, the people were still living and working in peace and contentment, so the journey was safe.

It's just—"Xue Ying, are we going further and further south?"

"Yes. ”

"But, didn't you say you were going north?" Cai Hua looked out, "We're all close to the foot of the mountain range." "And on the other side of this stretching mountain range, there is Dagu.

Xue Ying also looked out, and some of the woods on the mountain had lost their leaves, forming patches one by one, like dysentery. The air smells bleak from the north, and it's dry.

Separated by a mountain, two heavens.

"Further, we're going to turn back. "It's getting colder, and even if I want to stay, he'll find a way to drive me back." ”

Cai Hua was frustrated: "This is his territory, can you fight him?"

"How do you know if you don't try it? Further on, I arrived in Pucheng, and according to the information handed over to me in the past, the grain planting area in the western region of Pucheng is the largest, and the harvest is also the best. Therefore, I guess that the Northern Xinjiang Theater will collect a large amount of military rations in Pucheng this year. ”

Cai Hua still didn't understand: "So what?"

"We can follow the people who levy military rations to the north of Xinjiang. ”

"Will they let you follow?"

Xue Ying glanced at him: "Aren't you quite rich? I don't understand such a simple thing, I really don't know how you got to the northern theater back then. ”

"I'm a noble kid, no matter how simple I am, there will be no shortage of people when I go out, of course I don't have to worry about this kind of trivial matter. Cai Hua thought about it, but still felt that it was wrong, "Bribery? Do you think this will work?"

"If it doesn't work, it's even better. ”

"......" Cai Hua was almost defeated by her brain circuit.

Sure enough, bribery didn't work, and the two were kicked out.

"I don't think the Hidden King may have sent someone to follow us, why don't we go north openly?"

Xue Ying found a stall not far away to buy snacks, sat down and began to wait. During this period, no matter how Cai Hua spoke, he was silent.

It was near dusk that a group of men and horses came from a distance, dusty, followed by a string of ox carts loaded with slow sacks.

"The army for the grain is back. Cai Hua said.

Xue Ying suddenly stood up and walked forward, Cai Hua was shocked and hurriedly grabbed her: "What are you doing? Why did you suddenly become high-profile?"

The leader of the grain collection team suddenly rode his horse and stopped in front of them, the bearded man was not angry and arrogant, and his voice carried the unique majesty and heroism of the northern soldiers: "Little girl, what are you doing?"

Xue Ying said: "Uncle Gu, I want to go to northern Xinjiang, you can take me with you." ”

Gu Dachun raised his head and looked around, his eyes flashed, and he quickly picked out the cat from those ordinary people: "It seems that you still have a lot of tails." ”

Xue Ying squinted and nodded.

"Okay, come with me, I want to see, in the territory of northern Xinjiang, who dares to go wild?" Gu Dachun said in a heroic voice.

Some of the people who were secretly following Xue Ying frowned, and were about to stand up to stop it, but they were stopped by the people around them. The man whispered a few words in his ear, and the two left together, while the rest of the people continued to stare at Xue Ying's every move.

With the escort of the grain army in the Northern Xinjiang Theater, Xue Ying and Cai Hua went on the road very smoothly. Cai Hua has been a little unable to come back to his senses: "How did you find someone from the Northern Theater of Upper Xinjiang?"

"If you want to deal with him, you have to find a force that can match him. It's true that northern Xinjiang is his territory, but no matter how powerful he is, he is also a hidden handsome who can't see the light. ”

Cai Hua suddenly realized, and patted his head in annoyance: "I almost forgot, now the marshal in northern Xinjiang is your biological father! This General Gu is willing to take you on the road, probably thinking that you want to visit your father, right?"

Xue Ying gave him a blank look: "I am the county lord, not your Miss Xue family." ”

Cai Hua shrugged: "Okay, okay, everything you say is right." This tone has learned a lot from Xue Ying.

A few days later, a heavy snowfall came and blocked the grain collection team in the middle of the road.

Gu Dachun was angry and helpless: "Those 'god operators' who call for wind and rain in Dagu will be blind as soon as they arrive in northern Xinjiang, and none of their predictions are accurate." ”

Xue Ying took out the pill and stuffed it silently in her mouth, swallowed it with hot water, and moved slowly like an old lady.

Cai Hua looked at her wrapping herself in a quilt and wondered: "Is it so cold? ”

Xue Ying didn't even have the strength to roll her eyes. Listening to the howling wind outside the door, like a giant beast approaching the door, the inn where it settled was like a little white rabbit powerless to resist, trembling in the roar.

"Bang!" A large jar of wine fell on the table in front of Xue Ying, Gu Dachun said, "Little girl, drink when you are stunned and warm up." ”

Xue Ying is so weak now that she has only half a breath left, where can she still drink. Cai Hua was about to protest, but saw Xue Ying stretch out her white slender fingers on the wine jar, and said softly: "Okay." ”

Cai Hua was about to go crazy: "What are you crazy about? This is the liquor of the north, not your fruit peach blossom brew." ”

Over there, Gu Dachun had already poured a large bowl of wine and put it in front of Xue Ying, with a smile on his face, but his eyes flashed with a strange light. Xue Ying lifted the wine bowl bigger than her face and drank it silently without saying a word.

"That's good. Gu Dachun sighed, and was full again.

"General Gu?" Cai Hua wanted to stop.

Xue Ying picked up the bowl and drank it dry again. Cai Hua was full of incredulity, but seeing Xue Ying's calm face, he had no choice but to give up.

The third bowl, the fourth bowl, the fifth bowl. Cai Hua couldn't bear it anymore, and snatched the bowl in her hand: "Enough!"

Xue Ying's face turned red, wiped her mouth, and chuckled: "It's really much warmer." ”

Gu Dachun glanced at her deeply, hugged the wine jar and left, and carnivaled with his subordinates.

Cai Hua approached Xue Ying and lowered his voice: "What kind of dumb riddle are you guys playing? Wasn't General Gu very polite to you before, why did you suddenly get on the bar again?"

"The farther north you go, the worse it gets, and he wonders if I'll be able to hold on. ”

"Prove it with the amount of alcohol?" Cai Hua was still puzzled.

Xue Ying replied: "Prove it with no life." ”

Cai Hua was suddenly speechless. La Xue Ying: "Let's go, I'll help you back to your room to rest." ”

Xue Ying grabbed him and motioned for him to be silent. At the same time, the originally noisy inn was also silent for a moment, and the officers and soldiers who were drinking and chatting stopped all their movements and listened attentively.

But the only sound outside the door was the roar of the wind and snow.

Cai Hua looked dazed. Xue Ying reached out and touched the floor, and the slight tremor that came from her made her frown slightly.

Gu Dachun drank all the wine in the wine bowl and put it down. His expression was calm: "Okay, let's fight." ”

"Who is it?" Cai Hua asked quietly.

At the same time, a sharp whistle was heard in the wind and snow. Xue Ying replied: "Ringing horses." ”
