Chapter 144: Bitter Cold

Jiang Baiyan sighed, his expression a little complicated.

"Alas, hold on, overcome it, it's fast, there will be news from the South Prison, and within a few days, the problem will be solved, don't worry, don't worry!"

Liu Fa's hand holding the reins was a little stiff, so he sighed, looked at Jiang Baiyan on the side, smiled slightly, and smiled very firmly.

Jiang Baiyan looked at Liu Fan's confident appearance, and his heart was relieved, and the wrinkles on his face seemed to be much less.

"Driving ......"

Liu Fa rode forward, walking in the front, by the moonlight, he could faintly see that the soldiers patrolling the city were all shrunk, but they still insisted, and the hand on the knife never let go.

"Brothers, in a few days, if the brothers endure for a few more days, the brothers in the southern prison will bring us winter clothes, and such a hard day is coming to an end!"

He sighed and blamed himself in his heart, these brothers were all old brothers who came from the South Prison with him, it can be said that he was the team of Liu Fa, he spit out a heavy breath of turbidity, and then supported these brothers to cheer them up, the military spirit must not be lost!

Hearing Liu Fa's voice, the soldiers patrolling the city were shocked, and then straightened their waists again, like a benchmark.

"Brethren, the general looks at us, cheer up!"

The little leader at the head saw Liu Fa's figure, and immediately said loudly to the robe beside him.

Will there really be food, grass and winter clothes, Liu Fa rode forward, but his heart was bottomless, and the snow was still falling, constantly falling on his head.

The winter in Shiguan seems to be even colder than Uehara!

"Drive!"

The wind and snow are like rain, blowing so that people's eyes can't open, looking at the dark city walls, the lightless streets and alleys, Liu Fa suddenly a little confused, this way, save the city, cut off the grain and grass, break the straight road, save Luo Xingtian, and now he is the master of the dust, but what has he got, this way, he is just constantly attacking, and the killing spirit in his heart seems to be a little better than before.

At some point, he became a little murderous, and he no longer looked like his former self.

"Let's go, let's go back!"

The last wave of soldiers patrolling the city also returned to the camp, only behind the arrow battlements of the city wall, there was still a little spark, which was the torch for the soldiers in the city to warm and illuminate, Liu Fa glanced at the fire on the city from a distance, a little tired, and his eyes were a little unable to open.

The horse stepped on the snow, making a rustling sound, the eight guards tightly surrounded Liu Fa, and there were guards behind him to protect Liu Fa's safety, although there were many people, but Liu Fa still sincerely felt a kind of loneliness, just like this way, he was alone, step by step.

The snow was silent, just falling on the ground......

"You mean there's no one in the City Lord's Mansion?"

In the inn, in a good guest room, the lights were bright, and a person walked in front of the table, constantly tapping his fingers on the table, looking at the sparks constantly splashing out of the brazier, and a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes.

"Yes, my subordinates have carefully investigated, there is no light in the City Lord's Mansion, and there is no one at the door, it seems that the new master of this dust gate is not living in it!"

The other stood aside, looked at the man sitting at the table, and said cautiously.

"Alright, then, you go down and rest first!"

The man snorted softly, and then ordered lightly, he was also a little tired.

"Wait, by the way, sleep awake at night, be careful!"

Another figure appeared in the man's mind, and then he stopped his subordinates who were about to go out, and reminded him with some seriousness.

"Yes, my subordinates know, Childe, I'll step back first!"

The subordinates who heard the order stopped for a moment, and saw that their son-in-law had nothing else to do, so he cautiously asked to retreat.

Who, really?

The candle flame was gradually extinguished, and only wisps of green smoke remained, and he lay on his couch, thinking of the flags waving in the wind at the head of the city.

"What's the matter today, you're really early, you've been a buddy for a few days, you're really much more diligent, haha!"

The morning sun was rising, and the school field was already crowded, Liu Fa had just opened his eyes, and then went to the army to order Mao, and when he walked to the top of the school field, he found that Qingyun flew earlier, and he couldn't help but be very surprised, and then laughed.

"Hey......

Qing Yunfei smiled awkwardly, rubbing his hands, he didn't know what to say, indeed, it was the first time since he entered the city that he got up so early.

First, Shui Yao also saw Jiang Baiyan's dissatisfaction that day, but he was afraid that Qing Yunfei would make a mistake, so he made a few remarks every time, and secondly, the group of people yesterday had strange whereabouts, and it seemed that they were coming to find Liu Fa, so he had to be cautious and rushed to inform Liu Fa.

The law and discipline in the army are like mountains, and naturally it is not a place to laugh, after Liu Fa said a joke, he immediately went to the army with Qing Yunfei.

"By the way, what, when are you going to do your marriage with Shui Yao?"

Liu Fa straightened his clothes, patrolling the army without squinting at random, and asked Qingyun Feidao in a low voice.

On the school ground, the soldiers' faces were more or less red from the cold, and many of them even had chilblains, the weather in the South Prison was a little warmer than here, and they were dressed very thinly, which made them a little unbearable.

"This, I haven't thought about it either, the weather is very cold now, there are many things in the army, I have been staying in the inn, it is good to be able to meet Shui Yao every day, I don't have too many ideas!"

The weather was very cold, even the people and horses under Qing Yunfei looked sluggish, how could they have the appearance of being strong and strong in the past, Qing Yunfei sighed, and also answered Liu Fa's question in a low voice.

The southern prison has been decided, and the soldiers have no intention of fighting again, so when the weather is cold and freezing, it is really not suitable to send troops, and after going north for a long time, the barbarian soldiers under the command of Qingyunfei are okay, they have no complaints.

But the soldiers and horses of the Southern Prison who went north with him were different, they went north for a long time, not to mention homesickness, those people under Lu Xuan were also homeless, and now that the war has ended, many people also have the idea of returning to their hometown and rebuilding their homes.

"Now that the army's morale is lost, if the South Prison doesn't bring winter clothes, grain and grass, there is really no way to defend this dust pass!"

Liu Fa looked at Qing Yunfei, and whispered the troubles in his heart, many things, he has no way to tell others, only Qing Yunfei, although he is short-tempered on weekdays, but he can still share one or two burdens for Liu Fa.

"No matter what the general's plans are, I, Qing Yunfei and the men and horses under my command, will definitely follow the general to the death!"

Qing Yunfei looked at Liu Fan seriously, and then was about to kneel, Liu Fan looked at Qing Yunfei, but this time he didn't reach out to help him up, I still remember the first time we met, he swore an oath with blood, and his face was solemn.

"Get up, it's so cold, in the future, you should also change your temperament, you will also have a home!"

Liu Fa seemed to have thought of something, smiled warmly, looked at Qing Yunfei's somewhat wet knees, patted him on the shoulder, and then took a step forward and walked out of the camp.

"Home!"

Qing Yunfei's face was full of strangeness, and he muttered.

Since he was a child, he accepted that he was constantly surviving in the jungle, he didn't know who his parents were, he didn't know where he came from, but today, he wanted to have a home?

"Shhh

The morning of the harsh winter was still very cold, and Qing Yunfei knelt on the ground for a long time, only to find that the snow on his knees had been somewhat frozen into lumps at this time, and he touched it.

"Is the count done, is the number right?"

In the South Prison, the vehicles of the brigade formed a long queue outside the treasury, Nangong Zhinu was wearing a steel armor, but inside was a thick winter coat, he looked at the treasurer, and ordered his men and horses to carefully count the grain and grass.

These are all life-saving things, and there must be no mistakes, because of this batch of heavy problems, the dust is lost, and then the military disaster will sweep the entire South Prison, and at that time, the sin will be great.

"General rest assured, these things, we counted them overnight, and there will be no problem, this trip is dusty, please ask the general to say hello to General Liu Fa for me!"

The treasurer was still a little uneasy when he saw Nangong being angry, so he immediately shook his head with a smile.

"Uh, how did you know about Liufa?"

Nangong nodded perfunctorily, and then had some doubts, Liu Fa is not famous, although it is a lot of merits to go north to Chenguan, but very few people know, but why does a small treasurer know Liu Fa.

"Haha, general, although I am a small treasurer, but my brother is under the command of General Luo, General Liu went north to defend against the enemy, with hundreds of people, breaking the dust pass, attacking the barbarians, although it is little known, but my brother was also saved by General Liu, how can I forget this kindness!"

"I see!"

Nangong Zhi smiled slightly, then clenched his fists, stopped talking nonsense, and went straight to the dust pass.

The convoy is huge, and the South Prison has just calmed down, and it is difficult for this huge team not to attract attention, and it is still Nangong who leads the team, the number one murderer in the South Prison, which naturally makes many people pay attention.

The snow was flying on the road, and the cold wind was blowing so that people couldn't even open their eyes, but in a luxurious place of wind and moon, it was a warbler and a swallow, full of fragrance, and a young man in a brocade robe surrounded by flowers, hearing the laughter around him, was very busy.

At this time, a little guy knocked on the door from the outside, his face was full of entanglement, although he didn't dare to disturb the people inside, but the situation was really urgent and had to be reported.

"Who!"

The man in the brocade robe also heard the knock on the door, and frowned slightly, his voice a little cold.

"Young master, I have something important to report!"

The man fell to his knees outside the door with a thud and said in a deep voice.

"Spoiled!"

The brocade-robed man crawled out of the crowd, straightened his clothes a little, and then ordered a woman to go over and open the door, still sitting by a stove drying his hands, looking lazy.

"Young Master!"

The door was opened, the man was still kneeling there, but he didn't dare to step into the door, the brocade-robed man looked at the man, his face was a little displeased, and he asked in a chilling tone, "What's the matter?" ”

The man glanced at the women around him, and then at the man in the brocade robe.

"Stand down!"

The brocade-robed man waved his hand, and a trace of coldness appeared on his face, which looked even more ugly than Fang Cai's face.

The kneeling man inexplicably felt a killing intent, then gritted his teeth, and said with fear: "Young master, General Nangong went out of the city with dozens of carts, and it seems that he is going north!" ”

As he spoke, the man raised his head, his face a little worried.

"What, Nangong Nu went north with dozens of carts!"

The brocade-robed man's face changed, and the tea cup in his hand was a little unbearable, he squinted his eyes, his eyes were a little shocked, and even a little angry.

"Humph!"

He threw the teacup in his hand on the ground, and his handsome face was very pale and extremely distorted.

The teacup shattered instantly, and some of the broken dregs splashed directly on the face of the person outside the door, who gritted his teeth, but didn't dare to say a word.

"What did he do going north?"

The brocade-robed man opened the window on the side and watched the cold wind continue to blow in, regardless of the large and small snowflakes hitting his face, at this time, his heart was colder than this cold winter weather.

"If you know the young master, all the cars in Nangong Nu going north are baggage, he should go north to Chenguan to send Liu Fa from the middle!"

"Should?"

The man turned his head instantly, his face full of murderous intent.

"Damn it!"

The kneeling man instantly began to kowtow desperately, and in a short time, his forehead was already red.

"Get out of here, check it out for me!"

When the brocade-robed man heard the sound of kowtowing, his heart became even more troubled, and he immediately waved his hand and ordered the man to go down.

The north wind is howling, the weather is cold as if to freeze everything in this world, he stood in front of the window, unconsciously, a line of tears fell on his face, only for a moment, he felt the sourness of his nose and the coldness of his face, and then wiped it away, the strong have no tears, only the weak will do such a pitiful, humble thing!

"Hoo ......"

It's so cold!

"Have Mrs. Liu and Liu Aoke arrived?"

Nangong was angry with his halberd on his back, looking at this dragon-like convoy, he suddenly thought of something, and then looked at the guards on the side.

"There, General, look!"

Sure enough, following the direction pointed by this guard, Nangong Zhinu saw a carriage, and there were eleven people around the carriage, all of them capable and heroic, who were they if they were not twelve seasons?

When he hadn't gone north yet, someone was damaged in the mountains at twelve o'clock, and Liu Fa didn't bring them with him when he went north, and someone still needed to take care of him here in the South Prison, so that Ye Ruoxin was alone, and Liu Fa was really not at ease.

"Master!"

Liu Ao saw Nangong Nu's halberd at a glance, and immediately waved his hand towards Nangong Nu from afar.

"Go, bring them here, let them follow the team!"

Although Nangong was angry when he heard Liu Ao's voice, he didn't say anything, just asked the guards in front of him to arrange it.

"This time the stakes are very high, no matter what obstacles you encounter, you just kill all the way, don't hesitate, in public and private, there is no room for loss in the dust pass, if something goes wrong in the dust pass, we will have no place in the south prison!"

Nangong was angry as he walked, thinking back to what Qin Wen had ordered before leaving.

The future is snowy, Nangong Zhinu rode on the horse, sighed slightly, I hope this way, you can go a little safer!

In the dust, the wind and snow gradually stopped, and before I knew it, it was noon, and there was a faint smoke in the barracks.

"Why is it so little, can this be full?"

"Don't talk too much, you won't die of hunger......"

The soldiers gathered in the back camp, looking at the food distributed in the Huotou camp, their brows were furrowed, everyone had a bowl of gruel and two cakes, such food, not to mention that they were full, but it was difficult to eat hot.

Not long after, Liu Fa, Jiang Baiyan and others also came over, and they were no exception, the same two cakes, a bowl of gruel, and they could find a place at random to sit down and eat.

When the soldiers saw that Liu Fa was eating the same meal as them, they all immediately shut their mouths.

"It's not the way to go on like this!"

Qing Yunfei said in a low voice while picking up rice.

Liu Fa just ate the cake silently and didn't say a word.

"Bang!"

A soldier didn't hold it steady, a piece of bread had fallen to the ground, and a leader in front of him looked at the soldier, put a chopstick on his forehead, and shouted angrily: "What the hell, can't you be careful?" ”

The soldier was very young, as if he were only fifteen or sixteen years old, and he was hurt and embarrassed by a chopstick on his forehead, but he was slow to pick up the piece of bread on the ground.

Liu Fa saw it from a distance, sighed in his heart, and then quickly drank the gruel, and walked there with the last piece of cake.

He picked up the cake, and the snow had cleared, and there was no dust on it, just a lot of snow and water.

"General!"

When the little leader and the young soldier saw Liu Fa coming, they panicked and immediately knelt down.

Liu Fa blew the snow on the piece of cake, and then stuffed his own piece into the soldier's hand, and whispered, "Get up and continue eating!" ”

As he spoke, he turned his head and began to nibble on the piece of bread he had picked up, as if he were eating the best thing in the world, slowly savoring and chewing.

The two looked at Liu Fa, and fell silent for a moment, and the little leader looked at the soldier, stuffed his piece into his hand, and then continued to eat.

There was silence in the army, all the soldiers looked at Liu Fa, their hearts were full of sourness, and the young soldiers looked at the two extra cakes in their hands, and hung their heads silently, while eating, tears kept falling.

"Brothers, hold on for a few more days, and the hard days will soon be over!"

Liu Fa finally finished eating this cake, then licked his lips unsatisfied, looked at the people who were eating silently, and put on a smiling face.

Everyone looked at Liu Fa as if they were looking at the great sun in the sky, they didn't make a sound, they just cherished the cake in their hands and chewed it silently.

"By the way, general, there are a few people in the city, it seems that they are from the north, they don't sound like barbarians, they are now living in the inn of Shui Yao's family, and they have been inquiring about your news for the past few days!"

Qing Yunfei thought about it for a long time, and finally decided to tell Liu Fa about the seven people in the inn, although it was not a big deal, but it was better to be cautious, after all, it was a more embarrassing period, and everything still needs to be careful.
