Winter is coming, under the snow will be corpses all over the field, and the struggle for power in all dynasties will evolve into a cruel and eternal wilderness, just because there are countless lives and deaths at a thought, and there seems to be nowhere to escape......

The army marched very slowly, marching for about ten hours a day but still not making good progress, and the weather was getting colder and colder, and the horses and soldiers were tired and killed on the way, at least thousands, and those who died of exhaustion were either hastily buried on the way, or sank to the bottom of the river as bait for fish and shrimp.

Just because of Emperor Yin's words that his whereabouts must not be revealed, and those soldiers who fought for it will never be able to return to their homeland......

Han Qi closed his eyes, his hands on his forehead and lay quietly on his side in the carriage, indifferent to anything that happened during the march, as if he had been isolated from the world, untouched by the world, those unfathomable eyes were tightly closed, as if he could penetrate all eyes, and he didn't want to know everything at the moment.

Han Qi, I once loved you in obscurity and without hope......

The army marched for about three months, and I had to stay with Han Qi almost every day during the march, because if I revealed that I was a woman, it would inevitably cause an uproar, and at that time, I am afraid that I will not only be affected by Han Qi, but a cadre of soldiers appointed by him.

I've never been so cautious or so dependent on one person.

At night, the soldiers will set up the main camp in a position with a wide view, except for the main general, who can have an independent camp, the rest have to live with other soldiers.

Therefore, I had to share a couch with Han Qi, and we had a small fight almost every night over the ownership of the futon. Therefore, Han Qi also deserves the reputation of Longyang.

And I, who was the target of his good intentions, gradually found that more and more eyes were gathered on me, and the eyes that looked at me became more and more strange, usually accompanied by whispering and covering my mouth and laughing.

One day I was eating meat in the camp, Han Qi was a good hunter, I was with him, I could always open meat, his arrows were extremely accurate, he could always shoot the vital point of the prey, and kill him with one blow.

I used to only know that Han Qi's archery was exquisite, but after getting along with him in the past few days, I realized that he was a real foodie, and when it came to foodies, there were also levels.

A foodie like Han Qi, who can hunt and cook, and has no one like him in January, is a master among this foodie, commonly known as a palace-level foodie.

And people like me who only know how to eat but can't do it are the backbone level masters of foodies. Han Qi and I sat down around the fire, and he skillfully roasted the rabbit meat for me, turning it over to make it just right, and how big and small the heat was.

"Han Qi, can I stay with you all the time in the future?"

I took a bite of rabbit meat and asked him with a mouth full of oil, which happened to be heard by two soldiers passing by. I don't know if it was my delusion or my sixth sense, but I felt that the two of them stiffened, and even the way they walked was quite strange, as unnatural as two marionettes being manipulated.

The two of them slowed down unnaturally, as if they wanted to hear how Han Qi would answer. And the latter continued to roast nonchalantly, glanced at the two of them, and said in a cold voice

"Not leaving? Would you like to have dinner with His Highness? ”

I looked at him suspiciously, and after a long reaction I realized that he was not talking to me, and the two of them were stunned, and turned to face Han Qi in a daze, with fine sweat on their foreheads, and said that they didn't dare, and then left in a hurry.

"As a woman, why can't you understand the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and you can't even cook?"

He hooked his lips, curled his eyebrows and eyes in a nice curvature, and asked me softly.

"In our Qi country, all men cook rice, women don't know how to play the piano and chess, and they don't know how to read calligraphy and painting, that's very normal, you don't shake the fan in winter, I don't know the spring and autumn."

I said in a matter-of-fact manner, the tone of helplessness and lying always seems unnatural, and it is better to be a thief and only say that Han Qi should not find out.

But I saw Han Qi stuff the bald leg that had just been roasted into my hand with one hand, and nodded at the same time

"I've been to Qi in the past, but I really haven't heard of such folk customs in Qi country, I don't know where the customs in Luo'er's mouth came from?"

Han Qi actually went to the Qi Kingdom, so wouldn't I be able to fool him. I sneered to myself, laughed twice, kept stuffing food into my mouth, and decided to skip the topic and talk about it again.

Han Qi saw me frantically stuffing something into my mouth, his eyes staring at me tightly, as if he was looking at an extremely rare thing, as if waiting for a lonely prey.

"The matter of the Wu clan, I have already sent someone to investigate, you don't have to worry, there will be news in less than half a month."

He said calmly, it has been so long, I was still worried about Shen Yuzhi's poison, but I didn't dare to ask him face-to-face, anyone who just experienced the pain of losing their mother didn't want to worry about these things.

But he didn't expect him to take the initiative to mention it today, and immediately settled down, he always has a special ability, as if he can handle all the complicated things in the world properly, if Han Qi was born in the Qi Kingdom, he would definitely be reused by his father.

As the night fell, only Han Qi and other soldiers dozens of meters away were left around, and he said with a smile

"Luo'er, it's less than half a month away from Qi Kingdom, have you ever forgotten what you promised me before?"

I haven't forgotten that Han Qi will help me stop the dispute between the two countries, and I won't forget it anyway, I nodded at him and took out a hairpin from my sleeve.

It was the hairpin that the mother often wore, and it was a token given by the father to the mother, and she was quietly stuffed into the dowry that accompanied me, which was engraved with the most characteristic totem of my Daqi.

My fingers gently stroked the wooden hairpin, and the hairpin exuded a faint fragrance around it, the same as the smell of the mother's body, such a warm smell.

I handed the hairpin to Han Qi, and the night was very dark, enveloping the entire land, shrouding the dark red hairpin. Han Qi nodded slightly, he has always been very smart, and he has always believed in me, just as I trusted him.

As if he saw that I was a little sad, but could not touch my head to comfort me as before, he took out the honey candy and handed it to me, and whispered to me to bite my ear

"That's fair, isn'......"

I grinned at him, knowing that he was comforting me, but I couldn't help but smile at him, as if that was the only way to hide my longing for my mother.

After nightfall, he fell asleep around me from behind, and after a few months of getting along, I had become accustomed to the time when he was by my side, and I slept peacefully that night, and in the middle of the night, I heard a noise outside.

Many people rushed to the ground, and the sound of water, the cold wind, and the shouting of the people were intertwined in my ears, but I could not wake up anyway, and I only felt that my ears were tightly wrapped, and then I could not hear anything, and I could not hear anything clearly, and fell into a deep sleep.

When I opened my eyes again, it was already the early morning of the second day, and when I came out of my tent, I realized what had happened last night, that there had been a fire in the barracks, that most of the grain and grass had been burned, and that winter had arrived, and that there was very little prey in the nearby forests.

If it weren't for the people who often went hunting, they wouldn't be able to hunt animals at all, and only half of the grain and grass left could at most support the rations of the whole army for March.

In other words, the Yin army must not only rush to the border of Qi quickly in March, but also fight quickly, and if there is a slight delay, it will be starving all over the field.

I fell asleep soundly last night with such a big movement, and I didn't have the slightest intention of waking up. I wondered to myself, because although I slept well, it didn't make sense that it wouldn't be so good.

was thinking to himself, but he saw Han Qi yawning and coming out of the camp, as if he had just woken up, so he didn't wake up either.

After a while, he saw a man in armor with a dusty face respectfully reporting to Han Qi

I saw that his eyes were stunned, and he looked very surprised, and Wen Sheng told me to wait for him in the camp, and then strode towards the main camp. It was the first time I had seen him so surprised, and he had always looked so surprised no matter what had happened, but now what had surprised him so much.

I secretly followed Han Qi and his entourage to the outside of the tent, found a remote corner and squatted down, only to hear the voices of people in the tent, as if they were arguing fiercely, but I couldn't hear what was being said.

After a while, the voice gradually quieted down, and only a man's voice said coldly

"Third brother, there was a fire in the barracks last night, do you know who did it."

"Big brother, I only learned about the fire in the granary this morning, and no one came to my account last night to spread the word, I really don't know."

I recognized that the person who spoke was Han Qi, but it was very different from his usual tone, Han Qi was by my side all the time last night, he should not be the one who set the fire, and the spearhead of the person who spoke to Han Qi just now was clearly aimed at Han Qi.

"Third brother, as far as the location of your camp is closest to the granary, it is also the most suspicious."

Han Qi chuckled softly

"You mean, the person who is close to the granary is the arsonist, so is the fourth brother the farthest from the granary, is he the one who stands by and watches the fire expands, so what is the difference between what the fourth brother did and the arsonist?"

The man was speechless for a moment, only to hear Han Qi's voice rise again

"Whether there are spies in the barracks or not, they should be protected by changing personnel, instead of being quick to talk here."

Before I could finish listening, I had been twisted from behind, and I was shocked, my heart was not good, but I had been thrown into the tent.

I stood up in embarrassment, and saw the prince and his party, the cold eyes of many generals staring, as if they were about to devour me alive.

"Your Highness, this person is sneaky outside the camp tent, he must have bad intentions, his subordinates will bring him immediately, and ask His Highness to decide."

When Han Qi saw me, a hint of discoloration flashed in his eyes, and he immediately returned to normal, and he was caught at this juncture, which was not in the prince's arms.

I was forcibly held down by the soldiers, and my legs could not be stricken, and I fell to my knees, only to hear a cold voice above my head

"Say, who are you, and whether the person who set the fire last night has anything to do with you."

I raised my head and looked straight into the eyes of the prince, and he looked down at me with a wide eye as if he were going to eat me.

"Not me"

I really didn't do it, but at that time, I was shocked that I didn't know how to explain who I really was, and why I was eavesdropping, I couldn't say any of this, because if I did, it would affect Han Qi.

I bit my lip, and only three words popped out of my mouth

"It's not me ......"
