Before coming to the northwest, Chu Xiaoxiao had already learned about the various situations in Dirong Kingdom.

The Dijon Kingdom is different from the Izumo Province and the Nanzhao Kingdom.

Nanzhao is mountainous, and there are countless rare treasures, but because it is close to the south, the people worship literature and are not suitable for war.

However, Dijon is in the north of Izumo country, most of the territory is grassland and Gobi, the people live on nomadic hunting, and the people are fierce, but in some ways they are more stubborn than Izumo and Nanzhao.

Generally speaking, the winter weather in Dijon is cold, and most of the people will not go out, so in the month after the New Year, it is the grandest sacrifice of the wolf god in Dijon country.

For the people of Dirong Kingdom, sacrificing to the Heavenly Wolf God is a more important thing than the New Year Pass in the Central Plains.

After hearing Chu Xiaoxiao's words, Xue Hate looked at Chu Xiaoxiao with admiration on her face.

He once heard a saying, "In the midst of strategizing, the decisive victory is thousands of miles away."

For a long time, Xue Hate felt that Yun Ruochen was the most suitable person to describe in this sentence.

Now it seems that Chu Xiaoxiao is a woman, but she is not far behind, which is really rare.

And it was only now that Xue Hate really understood Yao Ai's attitude towards Chu Xiaoxiao before. Because of people like Chu Xiaoxiao, even if you don't like her character, you have to admire her ability.

Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it was Chinese New Year's Eve.

But unexpectedly, Di Rong Guo did not send troops to attack Taxue Pass before the New Year Pass, as Chu Xiaoxiao said before, but kept standing still in the military camp outside the pass.

On Chinese New Year's Eve, Chu Xiaoxiao was still sitting in front of Yun Ruochen's bed, watching Yun Ruochen lose weight day by day.

People who have been sick in bed for a long time will not look good no matter how good they look, and Yun Ruochen is already a little too thin at this time.

Chu Xiaoxiao looked at Yun Ruochen's appearance, but felt a sadness for no reason.

Even if Chu Xiaoxiao thought that she had seen all kinds of things in the world in her previous life, she had to sigh when she experienced everything that happened to Yun Ruochen.

witnessed the tragic death of his biological mother, turned against his only brother, and was so sick and weak that he was constantly hovering between life and death, and was still deeply feared by the emperor in the capital......

If that's all there is to it, that's it.

But on the contrary, Yun Ruochen is still such a smart and transparent person, if he didn't have all this imposed on him, with Yun Ruochen's qualifications, he would definitely be the son of Tianjiao.

It's a pity that fate seems to have played a big joke on him, obviously giving him everything that ordinary people can't reach, but it takes it all away.

Chu Xiaoxiao was also a generation of geniuses in her previous life, so she could naturally imagine it.

If she had been bearing everything that Yun Ruochen had endured, she would have to go crazy.

"Yun Ruochen......" Chu Xiaoxiao sighed softly, a touch of sadness flashed in her eyes that had always been extremely bright, and her voice said to Yun Ruochen slowly and with a hint of trembling: "You wake up, we ...... Let's talk about ......."

After finishing speaking, Chu Xiaoxiao looked at Yun Ruochen lying on the bed expectantly, and after a long time, what responded to her was still that deathly silence.

At this moment, Chu Xiaoxiao even wanted to cry a little.

She thought of the first time she met Yun Ruochen, in the mass grave of Yuming Mountain, the place where the original Chu Xiaoxiao's soul was buried, Yun Ruochen looked at the mountain of corpses under Yuming Mountain with desolate eyes.

What was he thinking at that time?

Chu Xiaoxiao didn't know.

In fact, thinking about it now, she has never thought of having a deep understanding of Yun Ruochen.

And Chu Xiaoxiao also remembered that there had been many times before, Liu Ji wanted to tell her the truth, but she didn't care at the time, she just said self-righteously that she liked Yun Ruochen, but in fact, she never knew Yun Ruochen.

Time passed bit by bit, and now the war in the northwest, even on this Chinese New Year's Eve, there is not the slightest bustle and prosperity, and in the room where Chu Xiaoxiao is, it is even more silent.

At this time, the faint sound of fighting suddenly sounded, although the sound was not loud, but Chu Xiaoxiao was originally an extremely sensitive person, so it was inevitable to hear it more clearly.

After hearing the voice, Chu Xiaoxiao's expression was shocked, and the movements in her hands couldn't help but stop, and after tucking the quilt for Yun Ruochen on the bed, she opened the window a crack.

At the moment of opening the window, the movement on the city wall of Taxue Pass was transmitted more clearly, accompanied by the fire in the sky.

Looking at this scene, Chu Xiaoxiao couldn't help frowning.

After a while, just as Chu Xiaoxiao was about to go out to ask what was going on, Xue Ha suddenly walked over with a gloomy face.

"What's wrong?" After Xue Hate entered the door, Chu Xiaoxiao closed the door casually, and then asked, "Di Rong's barbarian army has called?"

Xue Hate nodded, "The Dijon barbarian army has forcibly requisitioned grain and grass in Dijon Country, and is now besieging the city. ”

When she said this, Xue Hate was full of admiration for Chu Xiaoxiao.

After all, Chu Xiaoxiao had already said before that the barbarian army of the Dirong Kingdom would definitely attack the Snow Pass before January.

Originally, he had already thought that Chu Xiaoxiao had made a mistake in his prediction, but the barbarian army of Dirong Kingdom suddenly attacked and stepped on the snow pass, which was exactly what Chu Xiaoxiao said before, and it was not an exaggeration to say that he was like a god.

Thinking of this, Xue Hate turned her head to look at Yun Ruochen, who had not yet woken up, and after hesitating for a moment, she said to Chu Xiaoxiao: "Lord Huaiyang, you ...... Are you going to defend the city?"

"Defend the city?" Chu Xiaoxiao sneered abruptly, and then said in an extremely slow and long voice: "What I want is more than just guarding the border pass......

Although Chu Xiaoxiao didn't seem to have any emotions when she spoke, Xue Hate still couldn't help but feel a chill in her heart.

In the past, this kind of heart-pounding feeling was only felt when he faced Yun Ruochen.

Sure enough, isn't it a family that doesn't enter the door?

Seeing that Xue hated not to speak, Chu Xiaoxiao took the initiative to speak, "Are the things I asked you to prepare before ready?"

Hearing this, Xue Ha was shocked for a moment, and then said, "It's almost ready, but it's ...... What the hell is that thing for? Isn't it really like a firecracker?"

"You're really right. Chu Xiaoxiao hooked the corners of her lips slightly and said, "Since you are ready, let someone send it to the city tower, and we will listen to it together for the New Year." ”

Xue Hate secretly looked at Chu Xiaoxiao for a moment, and when she saw that Chu Xiaoxiao didn't mean to joke, she was ordered to leave.

Although Xue Hate was also curious about what Chu Xiaoxiao had been preparing for celebrities during this time, he had never moved without Chu Xiaoxiao's order.
