When the belated news reached the imperial capital, the sage was furious, and all the figures in the general were scolded, and he ordered troops to search for Zhong Liche.

The court exploded in response to this matter, and those who were friends with Zhongli Che helped to hold them accountable. And those who had no friendship with Zhong Liche asked Zhong Liche one after another why he fought alone in the enemy formation.

The characters of the two factions come and go, and they fight for each other. As time passed, those hostile parties who were originally a little tactful and were afraid that Zhong Liche would settle accounts after returning to the autumn even tore their faces and dared to say anything.

The anger of the old saint was directed at the generals of the northwest military camp, and he did nothing to slander the officials in the court.

His stance made many people feel that General Zhongli was ten out of ten bad luck, otherwise why didn't the old sage who had always defended Zhong Liche say a word for Zhong Liche?

It has been more than 10 days since the incident. Even if Zhong Li Che uses soldiers like a god, he is afraid that he will not be able to endure it. After all, soldiers are like gods, but they can't live without eating or drinking, and in the midst of the enemy's encirclement and suppression.

Hua Heng and Hua Ke listened very anxiously, the two of them knew Hua Tian's thoughts, for fear that Hua Tian would not be able to stand it when he heard it, and they didn't know that Hua Tian not only knew, but had even gone north.

In the northwest, Hua Tian and his party have been looking in the vast snow for several days, but they have not found the slightest clue.

It's so hard to find that after a heavy snowfall, any trail will be obscured.

It was dark that day, Hua Tian and his party found a place to set up a tent to rest. Although Hua Tian hated having to keep looking, she couldn't joke with the lives of those guards. What's more, her head that was hit by the hail still hurts faintly. The guards had even begun to interfere with her decision.

For fear that after finding someone, there would be no food and medicine for injuries, and everyone in Hua Tian and his party had a load on them. Carrying these many things on your back to find someone in the vast snow can be imagined.

But in order to have enough food to be able to protect them from the cold, it is essential to carry a lot of weight on their bodies.

"Miss, you wash your hands, wipe your face, and I'll help you with medicine later." Chen Fang brought a basin of water, put it in front of Hua Tian, and said.

Now that they are out of the house, they are unbearable for each other, and Hua Tian can't care about any men and women. In a place like this, there would be no one to restrain this at all.

Hua Tian nodded, and sniffed his body in a low voice.

Although it was bitterly cold here, she didn't sweat and didn't have body odor. But she has always been accustomed to being clean, so she has come all the way, sleeping in the open air, which is very uncomfortable. If it weren't for the fact that she couldn't find Zhong Liche and was full of sorrow, she would have been driven crazy by the dirt on her body.

What's more, now she has a wound on the top of her head, faintly smelling of blood, and it smells extremely bad.

Hua Tian picked up the basin, walked to the back of the tent and began to wash his hands and face. It's extremely cold here, the water can't be boiled, and the temperature is not high. If you stay for a while, the water that was originally hot will immediately turn into ice.

After washing his hands and face, Hua Tian looked at the dirt in the basin.

This kind of wolf bèi and dirty days, which I have only tasted in my first life, now look at it, it seems to be a very distant thing.

It's just that after tasting it after two lifetimes, the feeling of pain into the bone marrow turned out to be the same.

"It's been more than ten days, I'm just afraid of ......"

"Shhhhh......h

"However, no one can survive in such an environment, let alone have pursuers...... The young lady's daughter is not suitable for staying in this kind of place. ”

Hua Tian was pulled back to her senses by this voice, and what she didn't want to think about instantly invaded her brain, making her lose control.

Bang -

The sound of the basin being kicked over, followed by a small "pop".

The faces of the two guards who were discussing in a low voice changed instantly, and they glanced at each other hurriedly, and one of them shouted, "Who? ”

As he spoke, the man had already used his light skills to rush to the back of the tent.

When they arrived at the bottom of the tent, both of them saw Hua Tian sitting on the ground with a pale face, the basin containing water was crooked to the side, and the water in it had been spilled out, forming a splash of ice on the side of the basin.

"Miss-" Due to the guard's loud shout, Chen Fang also rushed over with someone. When he saw Hua Tian so withered and sat on the ground, he was taken aback, and hurriedly stepped forward, wanting to help Hua Tian up.

But he had only approached Hua Tian, and Hua Tian had already raised his head and looked at him.

"I—I'm looking all over this grassland, if ...... If it is ......" Her voice trembled, almost inaudible, Chen Fang listened intently, Hua Tian's lips were pale and trembling, but he didn't spit out another half a word.

Chen Fang's nose was sour, and he said, "The eldest young master sent us to protect Miss, and we will follow Miss wherever she goes." ”

"Okay." Hua Tian said this, actually stood up from the ground, and walked to her tent without saying a word, "Help me boil some more water, I want to wash it." ”

The one who looked sad and shriveled to the ground just now didn't seem to be her.

Chen Fang and the rest of the guards watched Hua Tian straighten his back and walk into the tent, as if they saw the infinite loneliness that shrouded the figure.

"Miss, please wait a moment—" Chen Fang agreed, and then took someone to boil water.

While waiting for the hot water, Hua Tian sat quietly by the charcoal basin. All she could think about in her head was Zhong Li Che. Thinking that he once came to the peach tree and helped her pick up the green silk hanging by the peach branches, remembering that he had nothing to say, he went to the small garden of Princess Shuhua's mansion to block himself from talking, and remembered......

I don't know how long I thought about it, Chen Fang came to Huatian's tent with a few guards and a few basins of water, put the basin next to the brazier, and went out.

Hua Tian took the screen to cover it, wiped his body clean, and changed into clean clothes.

You're going to die, but I'm not in a hurry to wash and change my clothes, aren't you angry? You're going to be angry, come out and scold me?

I strip and wash in the midst of so many men, you can't stand it. Since you can't stand it, come out quickly, come out and talk to me fiercely.

Hua Tian's eyes moved to and fro in the basin on the ground, and tears fell from his eyes.

How could she not know that after such a long period of time, Zhong Liche's chances of survival were slim?

But she didn't want to believe it, she didn't want to believe it at all!

After crying for a while, Hua Tian put away the basin with red eyes, and then forced himself to sleep.

She must be able to find Zhong Liche with the best mental outlook, and she will definitely not let herself be in danger.

The next day, the cold sun rose from the horizon, and it was a new day.

Hua Tian took the guards and continued to hurry. The group lined up sideways, looking down to see what was going on under their feet as they went, and sometimes even stopped to dig through the snow to see if there were any clues left under the snow.

As always, no valid leads were obtained.

It was almost dark, and it was time to set up camp again.

Chen Fang looked at Hua Tian looking ahead, gritted his teeth, and said, "Let's go forward for half an hour,...... Then we will set up camp again. It's already the edge of the grassland, and tomorrow you can walk out of the grassland and explore the remaining half of the grassland......"

Speaking of this, he looked at Hua Tian's trembling shoulders and didn't say anything more.

Half an hour later, in desperation, the people who had found nothing began to camp and rest.

Hua Tian also helped set up the tent, she needed to be busy, so that she didn't think cranky.

When the tent was set up, she sat down and saw that there was nothing to make herself, so she took out a handful of rice from her bag and counted them one by one.

After eating, arranging a vigil, Hua Tian returned to his tent to count the grains of rice as usual.

After counting for a long time, seeing that the time was almost up, Hua Tian went to bed on time.

"Ah......h

"What's the matter?" With a shout, there was a sound of voices from the tents, and everyone hurriedly ran out of the tents.

Hua Tian didn't sleep soundly, and as soon as he heard the sound, he turned over and jumped to the place where the sound came from—that was the direction of the fire.

She was the closest, and she was the first to hear the movement, and when she arrived, she saw only the two guards by the fire staring at the ground in amazement.

"What happened?" Hua Tian asked.

One of the guards raised his head and saw Hua Tian, his eyes flashed with joy, and he stammered, "Miss, here, there are blood stains here...... There are fragments of the clothes of the soldiers of the Great Zhou Dynasty......"

Hua Tian was shocked, she forcibly suppressed the impulse in her heart, and walked to the guard's side step by step.

Originally, it was a fire, but the snow in the vicinity melted away due to the temperature of the fire, revealing the original footprints under the snow. What Hua Tian saw were blood clots that had dried up and were almost black, as well as some rags.

"That's right, these rags are exactly what the soldiers of the Great Zhou Dynasty are wearing!" Chen Fang also came to the scene and stared at the rags on the ground in surprise.

"If they've been here, why haven't we been able to find any traces before?" Hua Tian felt that this was a dream, a dream that was so real that it was almost false.

They made their way all the way, stopping at regular intervals to dig up the snow to see if there was any sign of human activity under the snow. If this is really the road that Zhong Liche and the others led the troops to, why didn't there be any clues along the way?

"Maybe we were negligent, maybe General Zhongli didn't take the conventional route with his troops......" Chen Fang replied, and then looked at Hua Tian happily,

"I'm sure we'll find someone soon, so don't worry, miss. Go back tonight and have a good rest, tomorrow may be a tough battle, and you need Miss to take command. ”

Hua Tian nodded silently, his eyes looked ahead, and all kinds of emotions flashed with anxiety and worry in his eyes.

She wanted to set off right away to see if Toru Chung was not far ahead. But there are wolves here, and it's easy to encounter wolves at night. After a cold winter, spring has not yet arrived, and the wolves must be hungry. If it is encountered by a single person, there is only one word "death".

Hua Tian forced himself to go back to the tent to sleep, but after all, he still tossed and turned all night and couldn't sleep at all.

Early the next morning, Hua Tianyan's words were a little blue and black, but her spirit looked very good, and she even had a smile on her face. R1152
