Chapter 271: Coming to the North
"What's going on out there? Why fence us off?! I'm going to ask what's going on! A man who looked like a man in the mansion was furious.
It's a pity that he can't go out, this situation is happening in various mansions, and Xue Fei is now sitting in the Qin Palace, discussing the affairs of the northern border with Zhu Mingxuan.
Xue Fei held the information that Suzaku gave him in his hand, and he looked at Zhu Mingxuan who was standing next to him, and he: "According to the intelligence, the situation in the north is very bad. ”
Zhu Mingxuan looked at the map behind him: "The army will set off for the north the day after tomorrow, you and I will take the light cavalry to the north first, and the rest of the people will go to the north with the army!" ”
Xue Fei glanced up at Zhu Mingxuan, and then he lowered his head: "Yes!" ”
The situation of the military rao in the northwest of the capital has now been taken over by the military department and the criminal department, and Xue Fei has already handed over Zhang Cheng's case to such a person in the afternoon.
"Whew! It's so cold! Xue Fei rubbed his hands, he looked at Zhu Mingxuan, who was also rubbing his hands not far away, the guards beside Xue Fei and his own words.
Xue Fei looked at the guards beside him: "Two miles further on, there will be an abandoned village, we can go there for the night!" Let's bear with it! ”
Xue Fei and they are now close to the northern border, but they are now at the boundary between the northern border and the capital, Xue Fei and Zhu Mingxuan have already set off for more than ten years, and now they are still about five hundred kilometers away from Fancheng, that is, the city where Suzaku is located.
Xue Fei and Zhu Mingxuan turned over their horses together, and a group of 800 people rode lightly, and wisps of white smoke flew on the snow-white ground.
"Young master, there is a village in front, the slave will go to explore the road first, if it's okay, I'll come back to pick up the young master!" When Xue Fei and the others were still about a kilometer away from the village, they dismounted, Xue Fei looked at the broken temple in front of him and looked at Zhu Mingxuan.
Zhu Mingxuan was wearing a big hat at the moment, Zhu Mingxuan nodded, and after Xue Fei got Zhu Mingxuan's permission, he rode slowly to the broken temple.
"Gaden!" Xue Fei slowly got off the horse, he slowly pushed open the gate of the broken temple, the dilapidated courtyard, the snow covered the yard, the tenacious weeds were blowing in the snow, and Xue Fei made footprints on the snow.
"Anyone? Excuse me, anyone? Xue Fei looked at a dilapidated village and asked, but unfortunately all he answered was the oncoming cold wind and snow.
Xue Fei could only push open the courtyard door one by one, he found that there was no one in each house, after Xue Fei walked away most of the village, he looked at the ground with only his own footprints, Xue Fei knew that this village was a "ghost village".
"Drive! Drive! Half an hour later, Xue Fei took Zhu Mingxuan and them to this village, Xue Fei looked at Zhu Mingxuan, who was already passive, and he looked at the other guards: "Let's go find firewood, by the way, a few more people will go to burn some snow water to drink, I'll go find a water source by the way!" ”
Zhu Mingxuan was put to rest in a room that was not very dilapidated, and Xue Fei took a few people out to find firewood.
"It's cold! It's not so cold in the capital! "Yes! What about you who are at war? "Not really! Why did you come out to fight such a cold female clansman! ”
The guards behind Xue Fei were talking, Xue Fei had already climbed to the tree and broken the branches, Xue Fei looked at the branches on the ground was not enough, he shouted at the people below: "Don't gossip!" Give me all the branches on the tree! The rest of the people picked up below, and a few more people cut the grass! We'll have to pick up enough branches before the sun goes down! ”
Xue Fei wore a coat to look at the sun hanging in the sky, he continued to work, and for a while Xue Fei and their side had no sound, only the sound of work.
"Whew! All right! Get off the tree! Xue Fei was busy for an hour, and he looked at the ground below that there were already a lot of branches, and he spoke to the guards.
Xue Fei asked people to carry the firewood back to the courtyard where Zhu Mingxuan and they were, while Xue Fei led people to start looking for food.
"Is it delicious?" Xue Fei was grilling fish in his hand, he looked at Zhu Mingxuan who was eating, Zhu Mingxuan nodded, it was already night at the moment, the time was about seven o'clock in the evening, Xue Fei caught a few fish in the river outside the village, and he grilled fish for Zhu Mingxuan.
Zhu Mingxuan looked at the busy Xue Fei while eating fish: "Fei, how many more can we get to Fancheng?" ”
Xue Fei flipped the fish that had just been processed in his hand, and he replied softly: "At this speed, there must be six seven, if you hurry up, five or six!" I know that the young master is in a hurry, but I can't hurry anymore, because there will be a blizzard in two weeks, which I found last night. ”
When Zhu Mingxuan heard Xue Fei's words, he was a little anxious: "Ben.. How am I not in a hurry! I don't know what happened to the people in the north! You also know that the blizzard is coming, and I wonder if their house will collapse? Is there anything to keep warm? Did the quilts and cotton clothes issued by our court be delivered to them? Did the officials of the North corrupt the people? ”
"Alas! I have thought about these things many times along the way, do you know that this expedition, the king can't lose, and can't afford to lose, the vassal king's covetousness for the throne is not unknown to the king, the father is getting old and the father has not yet set up a prince, these kings have to be considered, so the king of Fei Ben wants to win, and he has to win! Zhu Mingxuan looked at Xue Fei, his gaze was so firm that Xue Fei didn't dare to look at Zhu Mingxuan.
Xue Fei lowered his head and looked at the grilled fish in his hand: "Since the young master has decided, then just do what the young master wants in his heart, Brother Fang and I will always support the young master behind the young master, just like when we were in the palace, we caused trouble in the palace and the young master protected us!" ”
After Zhu Mingxuan heard Xue Fei's words, he smiled silently, the tacit understanding between the two people who grew up, even if they already have the heart of a monarch and a minister, they can also eliminate the mustard at this moment, after all, they are all brothers from the beginning!
"Fei, what kind of child will your sister-in-law give birth to me? Is it a son or a daughter? After Zhu Mingxuan finished eating, he lay on the bed and looked at the roof.
Xue Fei was lying on the paved floor, he listened to Zhu Mingxuan's words and turned over: "The boy is estimated to be like my sister-in-law, maybe handsome as a girl, it is estimated that he is like you, he may be a little heroic, but I estimate that he is more talented, anyway, he is better looking than you, and I also like my daughter more, my daughter is intimate, not like a child, naughty and mischievous." ”
Xue Fei also fell into a fantasy, and he was beautiful: "If Mr. has a daughter and another son, then the daughter will help me bring my son, how good would you be!" ”
