Chapter 123: Sleeping Rough

The night is dark and the wind is high, the wind is howling, and I can see the charming eyes of the layers of sand and soil. The mountain stream howls strangely, which makes people's hearts beat in horror.

Diverted the route, although there was no scene of animal carcasses rampant, but the road under the feet was quite shallow, from time to time, each section of the road had to stop and check carefully, and the team walked with difficulty.

There is a soldier in the team whose hometown is this area, and he volunteered to act as a guide, but after all, he has been away from home for several years after joining the army, and the route in his memory has long been blurred, and he can only distinguish by feeling and intuition.

Fortunately, they were lucky, and the soldiers who led the way finally did not panic as before when they saw the increasingly familiar scene in front of them.

The dark sky had now opened and the moon was visible, and the stars in the sky were shining brightly, and they finally found their foothold for tonight, a small canyon surrounded on all sides.

The soldiers stuck their torches in the cracks of the stone and the dirt, and the shining light of the fire finally gave the small canyon a hint of safety.

The nerves that had been tense all day were finally relaxed, and people set up pots and stoves, and finally they were able to boil some boiling water and boil some hot rice porridge to drink.

The environment is harsh, and it is located in the wilderness, it has been three days since the departure from Yintai City, and almost all the people only eat some cheese and steamed buns to satisfy their hunger, and the soldiers who have been practicing for many years are still tired, not to mention those palace maids, I am afraid that they have already ground blood blisters on their feet, and they are sitting on the ground one by one holding their soles and moaning quietly.

Miao Zhi got out of the Luan car, took a wet handkerchief from Ning Er's hand, and wiped the dust on her head while walking towards the pile.

Walking out of Yintai City for more than ten miles, she asked Ning Er to take off all the heavy headdresses and coats, at this time she was wearing a bright red gold silk embroidered jacket skirt, one black hair was loosely held, and only a simple jade hairpin was used to fix the bun on one side, although it was difficult to hide the tiredness on the pretty face of Ruyu, it was still radiant and moving.

When You Ning'er walked to the crowd with her arms, she first opened her mouth and told everyone not to be formal, and everyone who had been getting along for a few days also knew that this Princess Jiahe had a peaceful temperament and was very considerate to others, so they didn't get up after thanking them.

Miao Zhi came to the cooking cauldron again, the water in the pot was a little muddy, and there were some gray soil and grass residues floating on it, and it happened that the two young commanders came over at this time, thinking that Miao Zhi was disgusted by the unclean pot stove, so she said: "Princess, the soldiers are all rough people, and they are used to eating like this outside, you, let's go back to the Luan car, it's warm there." ”

He couldn't speak, but could only explain briefly, with a slight embarrassment on his face.

Miao Zhi didn't respond, turned around and left with Ning Er, the two commanders looked at his back, and they couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed in their hearts. Although they have become commanders, and they also pay some attention to food and clothing, after all, they are also from the bottom of the big soldiers, and they have no sense of rejection for the muddy rice porridge.

Alas, forget it, who calls people a lady from an official family, who has been clothed and fed since birth, and has not suffered a little, if you want to make those who eat delicious food all day long look up to them, I'm afraid that the old sow can go up the tree!

The two of them let go of the taste in their hearts, looked at each other, smiled bitterly, and then sat on the ground around the fire, only silently adding the dry wood beside them into the fire.

Looking at Miao Zhi, who turned her head and left without saying a word, she had now stopped in front of the mahogany boxes pulling the dowry.

On the eve of the wedding, an old lady showed her the list of dowries, and she only glanced at it, vaguely remembering that there seemed to be a few good 'Cuiqing' jars in it.

Although she hadn't drunk 'Cuiqing', she knew that it was a royal wine, and it couldn't be drunk outside. This wind and cold camping, the soldiers and palace people are afraid that they will freeze, take out those jars of 'green green' and everyone drink some, it is better to warm up.

She instructed the little eunuchs who were guarding the box to open the box and take out the jars of wine.

"Princess, by all means, this is your dowry, and you want to get it to TEU." Although the eunuch said this, his tone was arrogant, and he said that he would not allow him to open the box.

Miao Zhi looked at his posture, her face was also a little annoyed, and she said with a straight face: "No matter what you did in the palace before, and whose errand you were in, now, since you are in this team, it means that the emperor has assigned you to this princess." Besides, you also said that this is my dowry, and since it is the dowry of this princess, it is not your turn to control it. ”

Miao Zhi's words were sonorous and powerful, and she couldn't say a word that the eunuch choked.

"Now, take out those jars of wine for this princess, and I will share them among the people."

Miao Zhi's gaze was like a knife, shooting straight at the eunuch who was still holding his neck in place. The people around him also looked at him for a long time, making him prickly all over his body.

"Open the box." The male duck yelled at the few little eunuchs behind him, and retreated to the side unconvinced.

Over there, as soon as the two commanders around the fire took over the hot rice soup from the little soldiers, they heard the little palace maid beside Princess Jiahe running over, and it turned out that she was called over to move things.

When they saw Princess Jiahe smiling and asking them to share these jars of good wine with everyone to warm up, they couldn't help but look at Miao Zhi differently.

At this time, Zhen Yuqian led a few small soldiers to shout at them from the hillside, what else was he carrying? When they entered, they found that it was a few hares and pheasants, and they had a lot of harvest.

"Good wine with good meat, the soldiers can have a full meal tonight." It was the first time for Shen Yuqian to hunt in this vast mountain wilderness, and he did not return empty-handed, and the joy in his heart was several times more than that of participating in the royal hunt. After all, the royal hunting animals were all confined in one place, and there was not much chance of escape, and those animals were all artificially raised, and they had long lost their wildness, so people couldn't raise their spirits to hunt them at all.

Everyone ate and drank enough, gathered a few piles of firewood to prevent the beasts from attacking, and left a few people to sentry, and finally could sleep peacefully.

Miao Zhi was a little sleepy, and the sky was shrouded in gray clouds at some point, and it turned out to be a sparse light snow, and a lot of cold wind.

The snow fell like this, and in a short time it covered the earth with a thin silver coat. Although they were in a canyon to shelter from the wind, they happened to gather their voices in one place, and the whimpering wind swirled in their ears, making it difficult for people to sleep.

"Why was it still moonlit and starry just now, but in a blink of an eye, the clouds covered the top." Miao Zhi got up and muttered, but Xiang Yan got up one step ahead of her, and it seemed that she couldn't sleep because of the noise. It's Ning'er, who sleeps sweetly with a blanket.

"Zhi'er, are you asleep?" Shen Yuqian asked through the car door. The temperature plummeted suddenly, although the Luan car was gorgeous, but it did not shelter the wind at all, after going on the road, he ordered the palace people to put thick blankets around him, but he still couldn't rest assured, so he got up and came over to ask.
