Seven or eight miles northwest of Dengyi City, Yanglingpi.

This is the hub of the canal in the northern suburbs of Dengcheng, and it is also the place where Xu Huang's army was stationed during the Xiangfan Campaign.

On the afternoon of the last day of the fourth year of the summer calendar, the sky was snowing heavily, and Dian Manzheng led twenty guards to guard around, and the water in Yanglingpi was frozen and covered with a thick layer of snow, and about 300 and a half teenagers were wearing leather armor and rattan face protection helmets, and had snowball fights on this flat snow.

The oldest teenagers were already wrestling, pushing, and arguing together.

Tian Yan is like Guan Ji back then, like a leader, leading her sisters to collect ice and snow and build a crude camp. Such a camp, if described as '砦', is more accurate, it is a simple small camping base surrounded by a low wall of ice and snow, and a bonfire is built.

Dian Man chatted with a few Wei rate colleagues, looking happy, such a heavy snow, can almost alleviate the water for the growth of winter wheat in the spring of next year.

A teacher from Xiangyang wore a classic dogskin hat, but he didn't feel cold in the heavy snow, so he hung up the face protection to cover his ears, and the whole person looked energetic: "Such a big snow, in the past ten years, can only be compared five years ago." ”

He stepped on the snow with his feet and raised his hand to make a gesture of about a foot and a half: "I was recuperating in Maicheng that year, where the snow has always been not as good as in Hanbei and not as thick as the snow in the mountains. Maicheng alone, one day and two nights is enough to have a foot six thick, at that time Jingzhou epidemic disease was terrifying, seeing this heavy snow, the public was quite happy. ”

After a slight pause, he simulated Tian Xin's tone at that time: "Ice and snow can kill evil plagues...... As the public said, since the beginning of winter, the epidemic has subsided in various places. ”

Another person spoke: "The Lord is wise." Today, Nanyang gets snow, and the climate in Guanzhong is close to Nanyang, if it also rains snow, it is really destiny! ”

While chatting, suddenly the hound led by the outer guard suddenly barked wildly, subconsciously thinking that the hungry beast was approaching, and was full of solemnity: "Blow the assembly trumpet." ”

Woo~woo~

The trumpet sounded, and the playing guards led the scouts to assemble, and the play was not exhausted, and they also fought and chased each other, and as the distance from the pawn became closer and closer, the scouts gradually converged their emotions.

In the simple camp built with snow, Tian Yan heard the strong sound of horses' hooves, and immediately smiled: "Mondo! ”

"Mondo is still alive!"

She shouted in surprise, causing the little sisters around her to shout: "Mondo is still alive!" ”

Hearing the call, Tian Xin and Tian Xin, who were passing by, lowered his horse's speed, turned around, and the horses' hooves of Mondo trampled on the snow two feet deep and slowly approached Yanglingpi to the north.

"Brother!"

Seeing that the little sister was wearing a leather armor cover and a white sheep fur cloak running towards her, and then fell into the thick snow, twenty or thirty steps apart, the long-legged Mondo arrived in the blink of an eye, Tian Xin took off the deerskin gloves, grabbed the curved board of the neck guard behind the little sister's neck and gently pulled it to the horse, and there were already guards running nearby.

Following the goose feather heavy snow and looking at the silhouette, he barely recognized Tian Xin, the danger was lifted, but he ran faster, panting for white air, and the five guards saluted: "Meet the princess." ”

Tian Xin's scarf covered his eyebrows, around his nose, and the brim of his helmet had been dyed white by frost, and he helped his little sister to sit in front of the saddle: "Well, the snow is getting heavier, gather the team and go back to the city to avoid the cold." ”

"Whoa."

Tian Xin looked at the little sister's forty or fifty playmates with cold red faces, and said to Lu Yan, who came up behind him: "Take one person with you, and it won't be in the way if you go back to the city slowly, anyway, this snow can't be avoided." ”

"Yes."

Lu Yan raised his hand and took off his scarf, which was also a face with frost-dyed white eyebrows, turned his head and shouted to the other riders, seeing that he could ride back to the city, the little girls gathered on the stone pond in Yangling Pi trekked into the snow with a shout.

Tian Xin asked: "I heard you just shouting, 'Mondo is alive', did anyone say that Mondo is dead?" ”

Tian Yanzheng caught Tian Xin's deerskin gloves and inserted her hands into them, and patted Mondo into a ball of horsehair, and the horsehair pills were formed into sixteen groups, which could save a lot of trouble.

When a soldier's hair goes to the battlefield, it should be pulled up and tied up so as not to affect the battle, and the horse's mane of the war horse should naturally be treated, and marubling it into a ball is the most common method.

Tian Yan smirked: "Many people say so, saying that Brother Ah wrote a poem 'Eight Hundred Miles to Burn', and Mondo is a thousand miles of horses, and he can travel eight hundred miles a day." said that Brother couldn't win against the Wei people, so he killed Mondo and gave everyone meat. Later, some people said that Brother won the battle, and many people also said that Mondo was eaten. ”

"How so? Whoever said that, I'll go to them and ask. ”

"Many people say this, saying that Brother Ao will do what he says, and Mondo will definitely not live."

Tian Yan changed the topic and turned her head to look at Tian Xin: "Brother, did the news of my grandfather's illness spread to Guanzhong?" ”

"Hmm."

Tian Xin saw that Mondo's ears were pricked up, and it seemed that the command was activated by the sound of 'Mondo', waiting for the order.

Then he kicked his left leg lightly, and Mondo turned his head to the right and strode in the direction of Deng Cheng, and Tian Xin said, "I miss you too, and I have to go and meet the woman." ”

I didn't want to come, but seeing that Guan Yu was embarrassed by each other, everyone was not a person who was hypocritical, and there would definitely be some unpleasant friction when they met.

In addition, grandfather Tian Wei is seriously ill, and his cousin marries to become a queen, which is a major event and should be attended.

I always felt that my grandfather was pretending to be sick in order to bring himself back so that he could stand on the platform for his cousin.

Tian Ji also has doubts about this in the letter, although he is a grandfather, it is normal for a grandfather to play a little trick on his grandson.

The heavy snow closed the city, and on the way back to the city, Tian Xin saw a group of guards driving a carriage and an ox cart to Yangling to pick up these boy scouts.

The streets of the city were sparsely populated and the doors were closed, Tian Xin grabbed a thick cloak with both arms to protect the little girl in front of her, only her face was exposed, and she was wearing deerskin gloves in both hands and grasping the reins, as if she was driving Mondo.

Saying 'Mondo forward' and 'Mondo turn to the right', Tian Xin kicked the horse's belly lightly with both feet, controlling Mondo to complete the voice driving of the little sister.

The mansion of the eldest princess of the South China Sea, there are twelve halberds standing in front of the mansion, Tian Xin also noticed that this mansion, and his own mansion next door, have built arrow towers in the corners, and the courtyard wall has also been significantly heightened and thickened, at least there are guards patrolling back and forth on the courtyard wall, all of which expose their heads and shoulders above the chest, and it is obvious that there is a layer of passage for the defenders to walk in the courtyard wall.

After receiving advance notice, Guan Ji waited under the eaves of the middle porch, wearing a bear fur cloak with a soft oil, and only the female official princess family commander Meng Ji was behind her.

Tian Xin dismounted in the front yard, hugged his little sister off the horse, handed the horsewhip to the old man at home, and looked at Guan Ji who was getting closer and closer.

Since she got married, she has been scattered and impermanent, and many things have fallen on her shoulders, whether it is breaking with the imperial court or expressing a tough attitude to defend the family business, for her she is not only facing moral pressure, but also family pressure.

Getting closer, Guan Ji first reached out to wipe the snow from the brim of Tian Xin's helmet, the frost layer under the brim was too strong, and she reached out to touch the white frost on Tian Xin's eyebrows, and couldn't help but cry.

Tian Xin raised his hand to pull the helmet strap and untie it, raised his hand to take off the three-color lightning tail battle helmet, and handed it to the little sister who is now six feet tall.

Take off the battle helmet, and the top of his head is wrapped in a thick insulated, cushioning turban, and at this moment there is a large cloud of white gas.

Guan Ji wiped her tears with her sleeve: "Come to the warm pavilion and slow down, I have already let people cook hot soup." ”

"Well, it's been all these years."

"This year, you and my family will go to Jiangdu to celebrate the New Year, and have a good meal and drink with Ah Weng."

"This ...... If you don't talk about business, it doesn't hurt to go to Jiangdu. When it comes to business, the two families are in a dilemma. ”

Guan Ji's voice was slightly clear: "It's better to stay a few more days and then go to Jiangdu, if you go early, you will be in trouble." ”

"Okay, just Yi Qinghua, I also want to take a good rest for a few days."

Holding Guan Ji's hand, the two walked towards the inner courtyard, Tian Yan held the cold and heavy lightning tail helmet, pouted and followed.
