One hundred and twenty-seven, the storm is over

After the storm, there was a sudden cold, although there was no snow, but the temperature dropped quickly, even in the cold winter clothes, Huo Mei was still shivering from the cold.

In extremely cold weather, if you continue to run long distances, the horses will naturally not be able to withstand it, but if you stop, the supply of grain and grass will be insufficient, which makes Wei Ling quite a headache. If he only brought a few thousand soldiers and horses, Wei Ling would naturally go into battle lightly and continue to attack, but in the face of tens of thousands of soldiers, there are many big and small things every day, which is undoubtedly a test for Wei Ling.

In the storm two days ago, Wei Ling lost more than 20 soldiers, most of whom were swept away by the wind and could not find a trace, and such a storm also made these soldiers have more understanding of the desert.

Faced with the weather that almost dripped into ice, the soldiers did not dare to take it lightly, but became more cautious than usual.

The first game between the Weijia army and the Xiongnu originated from the sneak attack of the Xiongnu rangers on the Weijia army camp, and when he heard the noise outside in the middle of the night, Huo Mei got dressed and walked out. There was a fire not far away, which made Huo Mei's heart tighten, it was the location of the grain and grass camp, if the grain and grass were burned, wouldn't the Wei family army be dangerous.

I raised my leg and wanted to go over to see what's going on, but I was stopped by someone. "Master, no! There is General Wei on the side of the grain and grass camp, and it will be fine! ”

Listening to the title, he knew that it must be someone from Moxiang Pavilion, but at this moment, Huo Mei realized that he didn't see Xiaohong at all, and he thought that Xiaohong must go over there to help.

The shadow guard hopes that Huo Mei can go back to the tent to rest, but this will make Huo Mei rest. He simply stood where he was, looking in the direction of the grain and grass camp.

After standing for half an hour, Xiaohong came back. There was also a smell of smoke on his body. Seeing Huo Mei standing outside, he was stunned for a moment, and when he came back to his senses, he hurriedly stepped forward.

"How can the master stand here? The night is unusually cold, what if it freezes? Helping Huo Mei to walk to the tent, at this moment Huo Mei felt that his legs were a little frozen, and it was a little difficult to move.

Xiaohong noticed Huo Mei's strange appearance and was about to carry her, but before her hand touched Huo Mei's waist, the next moment Huo Mei was already stopped and picked up. Walked directly into the tent.

The faint scent of herbs entered her nose, and Huo Mei's heart softened, and her head rested on the placket of her chest. At this moment, Huo Mei began to have a nostalgic feeling for this taste.

Wei Ling put Huo Mei on the bed, reached out and touched the temperature in the futon, and frowned. "Standing outside for a long time?"

Huo Mei smiled faintly and did not answer. Look at Home's smiling face. Wei Ling couldn't get out of his temper even if he wanted to. I could only sigh helplessly. "You! How can I be reassured that this is always the case? You know? When the Hun cavalry attacked the camp just now, my first reaction was to worry about your safety. ”

"Ah Ling, I've never been the kind of woman who needs extreme protection, you know, I can protect myself!" Wei Ling tilted his head and glanced at Huo Mei, and said with a faint smile.

"That's right, do you know how many envoys Mr. Xiahou sent to protect your safety in secret?"

"A lot?" Huo Mei was suspicious. After all, she had never asked Xiaohong about this.

"Hmm!" Wei Ling responded lightly, and hugged Huo Mei from behind. Place your chin on her shoulder.

"Five hundred shadow guards, countless dark guards! If it weren't for your secret guard of the Moxiang Pavilion to report to me today, I'm afraid that the grain and grass camp would have really been burned down. Huo Mei was a little surprised, turned to look at Wei Ling, and it seemed that Wei Ling seemed to be in a good mood.

"In this way, General Wei, shouldn't you thank me as a pavilion master?" Huo Mei deliberately made a teasing smile, which made Wei Ling laugh.

"Yes, my Highness the Pavilion Master! What do you want, that your husband should fulfill them all, and you think that is good? "It's been a long time since I've gotten along so easily, Wei Ling cherishes this opportunity, although he has just experienced a round of attacks, and the grain and grass camp has not suffered too much loss, but some grain and grass have still been burned.

With the current speed of the march, I am afraid that these grains and grass are not enough to reach the first stop, but these Wei Ling don't want Huo Mei to know at all, as Huo Mei's husband, he can only do his best to protect her, and all the other hardships and dangers, Wei Ling hopes to be able to bear them all.

The night was extremely cold, Wei Ling waited until Huo Mei fell asleep before leaving, and when he left, he didn't forget to tell Xiaohong to prepare more things for Huo Mei to keep out the cold, Wei Ling just left on the front foot, and Huo Mei woke up.

Xiaohong came in and saw Huo Mei's clear eyes, and she didn't have the ignorance she had when she woke up just now, so she knew that Huo Mei hadn't slept at all. "Master!"

"How much has the grain and grass camp lost?"

"A third!"

Huo Mei pondered silently for a while before instructing Xiaohong: "Sue Sù Yun Pavilion, send out part of the grain and grass at the predetermined location, with our current marching speed, I'm afraid it will take ten days to get to the place where the grain and grass are supplied, and these grains and grasses will support five days at most, and the rear supply will never be there, so now, we can only rely on Moxiang Pavilion!" ”

"Don't we rely on supplies from the imperial court?" Facing Xiaohong's question, Huo Mei smiled faintly.

"According to my judgment, the grain and grass supply officer should be Wei Taishou, and with Wei Taishou's person, do you think he will ship grain and grass in time?"

Xiaohong was silent, thinking of the insidiousness of that Wei Taishou, her brows furrowed, and the expression on her face was quite angry.

"Despicable villain, is the emperor's eyes blind and he lets such a narrow-minded person take care of food and grass?" Huo Mei didn't care, although Wei Taishou was a little despicable, but he was quite loyal to Liu Xun, and he once saved Liu Xun's life, so he rushed to this, and Liu Xun would not treat him badly.

"If he is a good-for-nothing mediocrity, do you think the emperor will use him so much? This Wei Taishou seems to be quite weak on the surface, but he actually commands a secret guard in the hands of the emperor - the black flag! ”

Xiaohong's face had an unexpected expression, and after a moment, it suddenly became apparent. "It turns out that he is the black commander of the Black Flag, no wonder it has been difficult to find his trace for so many years, it turns out that he is hiding in such a remote place."

"Black Flag is in charge of the enemy situation in the Western Regions. There is no shortage of skilled Assassins in the Black Flag Camp, so these Assassins come in handy on special occasions. And that night, the reason why Wei Taishou let the assassin appear was nothing more than to spy on Wei Ling's loyalty! The reason why Wei Ling asked Gongsun Shi to kill those assassins was actually to give Wei Taishou a warning, as he was also the emperor's henchman, there was no need to distinguish who was close to him and who was more powerful. Wei Taishou wanted Wei Ling to obey his orders, which was enough to see his ambition! ”

With Wei Taishou's thoughts, I am afraid that the day of entering Chang'an in the future will not be too far away. Wei Taishou wants to use his daughter to win over Wei Ling, which shows that he knows the relationship between Wei Ling and Liu Xun very well, if he can make Wei Ling his son-in-law, I am afraid that soon Wei Taishou will be able to worship the prime minister. Come to think of this. Khomey's brow furrowed.

"Send someone to keep an eye on Wei Taishou, if he has contact with the Huns, the person who sues you must get conclusive evidence!"

"Subordinate Order!"

After a short rest, the army set off, because the grain and grass were damaged, Wei Ling sent someone to send a letter to Wei Taishou, hoping that Wei Taishou could allocate grain and grass in time. As Huo Mei expected, after Wei Taishou received the letter. Just said that he didn't have much grain and grass in his hand, and it would take a few days to ship, looking at the reply sent by Wei Taishou, Wei Ling smiled faintly.

"Hand this to His Majesty to deal with, and tell everyone that the march should be speeded up!"

Wei Ling meant to speed up, so that the time for the loss of grain and grass could be extended, but the sky was not beautiful, and the army walked not long before it suddenly snowed.

The snow was very urgent, but in just a few hours, the snow did not pass the surface of his feet, Wei Ling did not dare to delay when he saw this, found a sheltered mountain nest, and ordered to camp to avoid the wind and snow.

And this camp has been trapped here for ten days, although Wei Ling has ordered a reduction in the supply of grain and grass, but it still can't change the fate of running out of grain and grass.

Seeing that the supplies could not be supplied, Khome was also very anxious, because the heavy snow suddenly came, and many soldiers were frostbitten, and if the food supply was not available, then the army would face a crisis.

With the idea of trying her luck, Huo Mei took Xiaohong out of the camp, and by the time Wei Ling knew that Huo Mei had left, it was already two hours later. Regardless of the opinions of others, Wei Ling jumped on the horse and ran out of the camp, following the hoof prints left by Huo Mei and Xiaohong along the way, and chased them out of twenty miles before he saw two horses in the snow.

Wei Ling turned over and dismounted to check, and saw that the reins of the horses were pressed by stones, and Huo Mei and Xiaohong should be nearby, so he divided labor with the shadow guards who came with him, and began to look for the traces of Huo Mei and Xiaohong.

The snow here is knee-high, every step is very difficult, walking a short distance to see footprints around, Wei Ling quickened his pace, and finally saw Huo Mei and Xiaohong behind a sheltered mountain nest.

Huo Mei and Xiaohong followed the memories of the previous days and found this place, picking up the snow, and there were green wild vegetables underneath. Huo Mei remembered that when he entered the Western Regions in his previous life, he also encountered heavy snow and was trapped, and he was a veteran who was familiar with the terrain and found this wild vegetable field, which allowed the army to tide over the difficulties.

Fortunately, in this life, Khomei found this place again, and like in the previous life, the wild vegetable fields here have not changed. However, the snow was very thick, and Huo Mei and Xiaohong were so tired that they were about to collapse, and they dug with their bare hands, and soon their hands were frozen and unconscious.

Seeing the scene in front of him, Wei Ling quickly understood Huo Mei's intentions, and suddenly his eyes were hot, and his heart seemed to be pressed by something, and he was out of breath.

Softly called "Mei'er!" Seeing Huo Mei turn around, Wei Ling's eyes stared at Huo Mei's hand, walked over and squatted down without a glance, grabbed Huo Mei's small hands and directly pulled open the placket and stuffed it into his arms, the cold and biting temperature on his chest, Wei Ling's heart was hot.

In fact, what Huo Mei found was not an ordinary wild vegetable, but a wild hollyhock unique to the Western Regions, which was recorded by the Qiang and Xianbei tribes, and Huo Mei also found this place with the memory of her previous life, and her actions undoubtedly saved the soldiers in the camp who had been hungry for several days.

Winter sunflower is the most common vegetable in the Han Dynasty, but it mostly grows in the south of the Hexi Corridor, and it is indeed rare to see winter sunflower here, perhaps this is Wei Ling's luck, and there is no doubt that Huo Mei is Wei Ling's lucky star.

It has been more than a month since leaving Chang'an in a blink of an eye, Huo Mei and Wei Ling have experienced difficulties on the march, and Chang'an City is not peaceful.

Because almost every time he came to the harem, he stayed in the queen's Jiaofang Palace, and complained about the harem, but no one dared to face the emperor, and Queen Xu naturally knew about these discussions, so she inevitably persuaded Liu Xun to say a few words.

Huo Jun has become more and more restless in the Yilan Palace these days, seeing that the queen is pregnant, Liu Xun attaches so much importance to it, he can't help but feel angry in his heart, and it has been almost half a year since he entered the palace, but his stomach is not angry, and there is no movement at all.

Now that the emperor hasn't stepped into the Yilan Hall for almost half a month, how can this not make Huo Jun anxious. The inner courtyard of the palace is no better than other places, if you have no heirs, even if you are from a noble background, you will not be able to gain a foothold in the harem.

When Mrs. Huo entered the palace on this day, she saw the listless Huo Jun, and her brows furrowed.

"Mother, what's wrong?"

"What else? Now in this harem, the queen's family is dominant, not to mention that the rain and dew are all wet, Your Majesty can look at me more, it's all a delusion of luxury! Mrs. Huo's brows furrowed even tighter, and she began to think in her heart, seeing that Liu Xun was so fond of the queen, if the queen was adding Ding to Liu Xun, then her status in the palace would be even more unshakable.

In this way, his daughter will not have a chance at all.

"Niangniang don't worry, the concubine must find a way to let Niangniang regain His Majesty's favor!" Hearing Mrs. Huo say this, Huo Jun's eyes lit up, she knew best what her mother was like, and she would not promise anything she was not sure of.

Thinking of this, Huo Jun's face returned to a smile, got up and came to Mrs. Huo's side, holding Mrs. Huo's arm and showing coquettishness. "Then the daughter is waiting for the good news from her mother, I heard that Her Majesty has been busy with the war of the Huns recently, and there is very little time to enter the harem, if it goes on like this, when will the daughter conceive a dragonborn?"

Mrs. Huo nodded thoughtfully, in fact, she was more anxious than Huo Jun, and if she wanted to kick out the queen and replace her, then she had to give birth to the emperor's heir.

When leaving the palace, Mrs. Huo walked thoughtfully along the way, and inadvertently passed by with a let, Mrs. Huo had already walked out for a while, but suddenly turned to look at the woman in plain clothes and holding a medicine bowl in her hand, just looking at her back, Mrs. Huo suddenly laughed.
