Chapter 519: Why
They said they would stop and recuperate, but they were still very difficult because they didn't have tents. So they had to put their horses in a circle to keep out the cold.
But the fluttering snowflakes still fall overhead, so you can imagine how difficult it must have been on such a night.
But in such weather, they could not make a fire, because there was already a layer of snow on the ground, and they had no dry horse manure and dead grass.
Moreover, they did not dare to make a fire, for fear that the light of the fire would attract pursuers.
There were no tents to keep out the cold, and they couldn't make a fire to keep out the cold, so they only brought a little dry food with them, so that they could squeeze a little mare's milk to drink.
However, there is an even bigger problem ahead of them.
They don't have forage!
Now it is snowing heavily, and even the dead grass on the ground is covered.
A man can go days without eating, but a horse can't go days without grazing! And I don't know when such a heavy snow will fall, and the snow will not melt easily.
Without horses, they would never be able to leave the grassland, and could only freeze to death and starve to death on the vast snowfield, which was the biggest problem in front of them.
King Zuo Xian only thought about his treasure, but he didn't expect this problem, nor did he expect such a heavy snowfall.
Therefore, Zuo Xianwang's face was very ugly, and this heavy snow made it convenient for him to get rid of his pursuers, but it also put him in a desperate situation.
"Lord Wang, in this way, we will never be able to get out of the grassland!" A guard asked in a muffled voice.
Zuo Xianwang's face was ugly.
In fact, the guard wanted to ask the prince if there was any way, but when he saw the prince's ugly face, he didn't dare to ask.
King Zuo Xian took a sip of mare's milk and said in a deep voice: "Everyone think about it, brainstorming, as long as you leave the grassland and go to the temple, you can wait to follow me to eat and drink spicy food!" ”
"The south is not as windy and sandy as the grassland, the water and soil in the south raise people, the little girls are all very smart, and they can pinch out the water, and when the time comes, I will buy ten little girls for each of you, and we will live a fairy-like life over there!"
The guards had also heard from the merchants that the farther south they went, the fairer and more delicate the women became, but they could not lift the spirits of women now.
Now in this icy and snowy land, there is not enough food and clothing, and there are worries about life, who still has the heart to think about women?
Even if you think about women, you also miss the women and children in the family! They are also people with families and businesses on the grassland, and now they have escaped with King Zuoxian, what will happen to their women and children?
So the taste in their hearts is very complicated, on the one hand, they should be loyal to King Zuoxian, but in their hearts they are reluctant to give up women and children.
It would be great if the prince hadn't rebelled at the beginning......
A guard said in a deep voice: "There should always be a tribe around here, or let's grab it!" Grab the horses, grab the grain and grass! ”
They didn't have any psychological burden to rob other people's horses, grain and grass, and the other guard said in a deep voice: "Just us people go to rob a tribe, do you think we can rob it?" ”
Indeed, there are only a few dozen of them now, isn't it a fool's dream to rob a tribe when there were thousands of cavalry at every turn?
When everyone heard this, it was the same, let alone robbing a tribe now, if people didn't come to rob them, it would be considered to burn high incense.
Another guard said, "Why don't we find a tribe to buy their horses, grain and grass?" ”
Everyone was very moved when they heard this, and they all knew that the prince had brought a lot of treasures with him, and if he took out one of them, it would be worth a fortune, and he could exchange it for as many horses, grain, and grass as he could.
King Zuo Xian frowned when he heard this: "What this king brings are priceless treasures, I'm afraid that those people will have bad intentions when they get rich!" Moreover, now that the grassland is rumoring, if the identity of this king is exposed, who knows what kind of face they will have? ”
Everyone couldn't help frowning when they heard this, and the prince said that it was also reasonable, and it was easy for people to see the wealth when they took out the priceless treasures at once.
If the identity of the prince is exposed, who knows if people will think of arresting the prince and asking for merit and reward?
Becoming a king or defeating a thief, the phoenix in distress is not as good as a chicken!
This doesn't work, that doesn't work, and some guards are worried: "Then what should we do?" You can't just freeze to death and starve to death on the grassland, right? ”
The rest of the guards also chimed in: "Yes, it is impossible for us to get out of the grassland, and if we don't die under the knife of the pursuers, we will freeze to death and starve to death!" ”
King Zuo Xian said in a deep voice: "The road is out, as long as we are united, we must think of a way, we will definitely be able to get out of the grassland, maybe we can meet a small tribe, maybe tomorrow the snow will stop!" ”
After eating some dry food and drinking the mare's milk, and clearing the snow from under the horse's belly, they took refuge under the horse's belly and rested worriedly.
Although hiding under the horse's belly, the north wind blows snowflakes everywhere, and even hiding under the horse's belly is not much better.
It was so cold that the guards hugged each other to keep warm, and even then it was cold.
A guard said quietly: "Even if I am hacked to death by the pursuers, I don't want to freeze to death and starve to death on the grassland." ”
Someone chimed in: "That's the same, you can still be happy if you are hacked to death with a knife." ”
After being silent for a while, someone sighed: "If we die, we will die, but I don't know what happened to my mother-in-law and children." Isn't it still alive! ”
Another relieved: "It should be okay now, and it won't be liquidated to us for the time being!" ”
The man sighed faintly, "You also said it, but only temporarily!" Sooner or later, they will find out, and they are still in trouble, and my youngest son will just call Abba......"
"Alas, why does the prince have to rebel!"
This sentence went to their hearts, if the prince hadn't rebelled, what would they be like now?
Sitting in a warm tent with the children, the mother-in-law will serve hot mare's milk wine and beef and mutton, and the family will be happy......
"It's not all the temple people raised by the son of a bitch! If they hadn't bewitched the prince, why would we have fallen like this! ”
"The prince is also stunned......
"Silence! The prince is still there! ”
"I'm going to freeze to death and starve to death, so much care!"
"We have always stayed in the royal court, and the rebellion has nothing to do with us, why did we die in the end? As long as those tribal leaders surrender, they can still eat and drink spicy food, why should we freeze to death and drink to death on the grassland? ”
"Why are our mothers-in-law and children so hard to save their lives? Why? ”
"We didn't rebel with us, we have always stayed in the royal court, if, if, we are still in the royal court......"
"At least my son doesn't have to die! He's just called Abba, he's so cute, he's just come into this world......"
Everyone was silent for a while, thinking repeatedly in their hearts, why?
