At dawn, Guan Zhuofan, who was still asleep, was woken up by Xiaofu.

"Young master, young master, the time has come." Xiaofu tapped the door gently.

"yes, got it." Guan Zhuofan responded calmly, sat up from the bed, but muttered a little in his heart, Xiaofu, this girl, weishenme wants to add a sentence "The time has come"? It sounds very unlucky, but it seems to be the rhythm of sending yourself on the road......

It's really on the road. His horse team was set out at eight o'clock, so he ordered Xiao Fu to call him to get up at four o'clock, so that he could arrive in the camp at five o'clock and begin to form his team.

Oil lamps gradually lit up in the rooms of the Guan family's mansion, and lanterns were lit in the courtyard. When Guan Zhuofan stopped dressing up and walked out of the house, the entire mansion was already brightly lit. The young master is about to go on an expedition, which is a big deal for the current Guan family, even if the place he wants to go to is only four hundred miles away in Rehe. Of course, everyone thought that he was only going to guard the emperor's palace, and there would be no danger of life and death. Only he knows that this time the turmoil is no less sinister than Guan Shan.

Xiaofu followed behind him, looking at his uniform in awe. Guan Zhuofan was wearing the cotton armor of the Qing army, a dark brown cowhide chest guard, a white clams on the red tassels of the warm hat, and the brand-new leather boots under his feet were inlaid with spurs.

He walked into the flower hall and was surprised to find that the Bai clan was already waiting there, dressed in full costume.

"Zhuo Fan, let's eat." Bai smiled and pointed to a table full of breakfast.

Guan Zhuofan looked at Bai Shi blankly, it would take at least two hours for her to dress up, so wouldn't she get up in the middle of the night and start dressing up?

Bai picked up a chopstick from the table and tapped the bowl gently: "Hey! What's the matter, don't you eat it yet? Eat more, and you will have the strength to ride a horse. ”

Guan Zhuofan was shocked to realize his gaffe, smiled in disguise, and began to devour it, but he was still thinking in his heart: Bai's makeup is of course to show grandeur, but isn't there a little bit of dress to show me?

In fact, he guessed roughly the same, only one guess was wrong: Bai didn't get up in the middle of the night, but didn't sleep at all.

During this time, as the day of Guan Zhuofan's promotion was getting closer and closer, Bai's heart became more and more serious. Last night, I was so nervous that I couldn't sleep, so I simply didn't sleep, spent nearly three hours, dressed myself meticulously, and chose the best-looking, most formal dress to wear. When all this was done, he sat by the oil lamp until dawn.

Now she looked at Guan Zhuofan across the table and asked herself in her heart, what's wrong? She is not a cowardly and useless woman, thinking that at the beginning, only three months after marrying into the Guan family, her husband left her hands, and she survived such a difficult and bitter day, but now when she thinks that this little uncle is leaving, why does she have no idea at all? A heart is empty, there is nowhere to put it, and I can't even sleep.

She didn't want to think about it anymore, and explained to herself in her heart that she couldn't sleep because she was worried that he would miss the time to open - in case Xiaofu couldn't wake up, at least she could come and call Guan Zhuofan to get up in person.

Guan Zhuofan ate, and the maids removed the table and served hot tea.

"Sister-in-law, I'm leaving." Guan Zhuofan looked at the dignified and demure beauty in front of him, and he had nothing to say.

"Hmm."

"Give the New Year's gifts to each family, you can make a list according to my haode, and let Tuber send them to send it."

"Okay."

"At that time, the New Year's goods sent from Tongzhou Zhuangzi, if there is a little discrepancy, don't worry too much."

"Okay."

He had no words, and Bai didn't speak, so the two sat silently for a while, Guan Zhuofan looked at the sky, sighed, and prepared to say goodbye to Bai. only then did he stand up, and suddenly thought of another sentence for him: "Sister-in-law, after the New Year, Xiao Yun is almost at the age of enlightenment, do you want her to read and write?" ”

"When the time comes, you can make up your mind," Bai also stood up politely, "I will listen to you for everything." ”

"Really? You listen to me for everything? That...... You biedong. Guan Zhuofan was stunned for a moment, then looked at her with a smile, and actually leaned over to her.

Bai Shi was embarrassed, and then he realized that his sentence was very weak, and it was exactly the same as what Zhuo Ren's daughter-in-law said: I listen to you......

Seeing Guan Zhuofan's flirtatious appearance, the thief came over with a smile, couldn't help but be ashamed and anxious, and whispered: "You...... What do you do......"

"Your hair is messed up, I'll pull it up for you." Guan Zhuofan stretched out his hand, touched her face lightly, and pulled half of the green silk of her sideburns behind her ear. withdrew his hand, took a step back, and actually flattened his chest with his right hand, snapped a military salute, turned around and left.

In front of Guan Zhuofan, the Bai family has always deliberately maintained the reserve of a woman and the dignity of the eldest sister-in-law, all of which were shattered by this light touch. She chased to the door, looked at Guan Zhuofan's striding back of the meteor, like an aggrieved and helpless little girl, her mouth was deflated, and she cried out: "Zhuo Fan...... When are you coming back......"

"Smack!" Daniel Zhang took up the knife and cut off the rooster's head.

The cavalry around, everyone is holding a knife in one hand and leading a horse in the other, neatly lined up according to the sentry, holding their breath and standing silently. All the war horses were also restrained by their heads and chews, and the neighing sound was not heard. Only a few blue flags, which were blown by the strong wind, added a bit of solemnity and solemnity to this small ceremony.

What is performed is a trekking sacrifice, and the sacrifice is to the mountain and river gods on the way, indicating that this army can trek through mountains and rivers from now on and move forward. It stands to reason that the sacrifice should be performed with three animal gifts - one bite each of pigs, cattle and sheep, but after all, it was only a small army, and it was not a big conquest, so Daniel Zhang found a rooster out of nowhere, and it had a slight shape.

Guan Zhuofan took the small half bowl of chicken blood handed by Daniel Zhang, smeared it on a spread out military flag, and then handed it to the flag bearer to pick it up, and the whole ceremony ended. He looked around, two captains, eight sentry commanders, plus soldiers, a total of two hundred and forty-seven members, all of them with protruding chests and bellies, and the military appearance was very neat. In terms of combat power, I know that it is quite inferior to the Mongolian horse team, but in a few months, with such results, I can also be satisfied.

"Tatsumasa!" Ding Shijie reported loudly, "Please show Mr. Qian, do you want to pull it out?" ”

"Let's go." Guan Zhuofan waved his hand lightly and stepped onto the horse.

The cavalry of the whole battalion came out of the camp in the south of the city, turned from Zaolin Street to South Street, all the way to the north, and finally went out of the capital from Desheng Gate. Ten miles out of the city gate, untie the horse's head and chew, and walk more briskly.

By the time he was on his way the next day, the sky had become gloomy, and thick clouds had risen and covered the sky, and from a distance, it felt like it was almost falling to the ground. After a while, in the north wind howling, flakes began to fall, and after a while, it turned into goose-feather snow, and the soldiers in the team shouted excitedly: "It's snowing!" It's snowing! ”

This is the first snow in Xianfeng since the beginning of winter in ten years.

Ruixue is a good year, but for the soldiers who are marching and hurrying, it adds three points of difficulty. Guan Zhuofan was riding on the horse, only to feel the chills coming one after another, and he couldn't help but fight two cold wars in a row. Thinking that a few months ago, I was still a student, with air conditioning in summer and heating in winter, but when I went outside, I covered myself tightly with gloves, hats, and down jackets.

"Luo Ji is not tolerant of the five colds!" He sneered in his heart, and said in his heart that this Empress Li was still cold in the quilt on the bed, and he really didn't know how to be blessed in the blessed, let him come here to try?

Thinking of the quilt, I can't help but miss my warm and comfortable big bed in the new house, and the beauty of my sister-in-law Bai's also unexpectedly comes to mind. Yesterday in the courtyard, I listened to Bai's crying, but I endured my heart and walked away, there was no way. What I regret is why I didn't think of this trick earlier.

"If I had known that touching it would have such an effect, Lao Tzu touched her face seventeen or eighteen times every day." Guan Zhuofan thought unexpectedly, if this was the case, maybe he would have succeeded a long time ago. Thinking of how to carry Bai Shi to his big bed and how to toss around, his heart was hot for a while, and he felt that his body didn't seem to be so cold.

Such a great opportunity, I actually let it go gently, and I was inevitably annoyed in my heart. Thinking of going to Rehe again, not only did there be no sister-in-law to tease, but most of the time I couldn't even see the shadow of a woman, so I couldn't help but sigh secretly, and said in my heart that the life in this military camp was not easy.

Ding Shijie, who was walking beside him, didn't know the messy thoughts in his boss's mind, raised his whip and pointed forward, and said with a smile: "Boss, five miles ahead, you will reach Miyun." ”

Dense clouds, earth-shattering, spinning.

Guan Zhuofan perked up, looked at the heavily armed and silently plagiarized cavalry around him, and as soon as the distracting thoughts were gone, he suddenly became arrogant, and he also raised his horsewhip and shouted: "Brothers, get up!" With his legs between the belly of the horse, he rushed out, and more than two hundred cavalrymen followed the horse, rushing forward like a gust of wind, rolling the ground with iron hooves, and raising snowflakes behind him.
