The snowflakes are scattered, and the early winter is coming before you know it.

The curling snowflakes fall, and when there is no wind, it looks particularly gentle and beautiful.

On the Keju field next to the observatory, the palace ladies were still playing happily, but the three main forces of the Ouchi Keju team were not on the field.

Princess Taiping only comes to relax once in a while, and her favorite is no longer keju, bowing and sumo, her mind is long gone.

Xiaoman was standing on the sidelines, but she just watched and didn't join in.

Xiaoman is not on duty today, wearing a men's shirt, wearing a soft head, wearing a robe with a round neck and narrow sleeves, a leather belt around her waist, and black sheepskin boots.

Close friends such as Gao Ying and Lan Yiqing who made friends with her all felt that the once cheerful and lively Xiaoman had changed a little, and became sad, and today the snowflakes touched her feelings, she originally promised to bow together, but when she walked to the side of the Keju field, she saw the snowflakes falling in the sky, and suddenly lost interest.

Xiaoman was thinking about her brother, remembering that winter, when it occasionally snowed, she and her brother hugged each other and hid in the broken temple to avoid the cold. The people sent to Guangzhou Mansion didn't get her brother back after all, Xiaoman didn't want to believe it, but she was really desperate, she looked at the figures running on the field in a daze, and thought stupidly: "Perhaps, Brother has left the world, and like A-Niang, go to another shijie." ”

At this time, Shangguan Wan'er walked over with light steps.

Wan'er is also dressed in men's clothes, with a scarf, a stone blue cotton gauze robe, a leather belt to tie her waist, chic and free, her lips are painted with Zhu, and her eyes are clear, just like a charming and beautiful, pretty and demonic beautiful young man.

It's snowing, it's the first snow of the winter.

Wan'er's heart is like the light snowflake, fluttering and shaking, so unhappy.

Yang Lang said. When the plum blossoms bloom, he will come back. Now that the snowflakes have bloomed, will the plum blossoms be far away?

Of course, Yang Lang also said that at the latest, it would not be later than when the peach blossoms bloomed, but after all, that was just in case, Wan'er would rather believe that her sweetheart would return to Luoyang City soon.

"Xiaoman. How to stand here. Let's bow together. ”

When Wan'er saw Xiaoman, she called her with a smile.

Xiao Man shook his head and said, "Let's wait for the edict to end." Xiaoman was a little uncomfortable. ”

Wan'er was eager to try, but seeing her lonely face, she couldn't help but take her hand. Pulled her to the sidelines, picked up two futons, brushed off the snowflakes on them and put them on the stone bench, and said softly to Xiao Man: "Come, sit down!" ”

The two of them sat down on the futon, the new futon, soft and dry, a little cool when they first sat down, and then warmed up after a while.

Wan'er looked at Xiaoman. Asked: "It's been a long time, I've always felt that you are very unhappy, is there anything on your mind?" ”

Xiaoman shook her head, but her eyes suddenly turned red, and she almost burst into tears, so she hurriedly turned her head.

Wan'er said: "If you have something on your mind, it's better to listen to it, it's not good to be stuffy in your heart." I'm a few years older than you, so I might be able to help you get an idea. ”

Xiao Man sniffed and said sadly: "There are some things that no one can help with." ”

Wan'er stared at her, her gaze like water.

Xiaoman was silent for a long time. finally confided her heart to Wan'er little by little, from the first time she met Brother A. to the two of them relying on each other, until the long street broke up, until she never forgot the promise of the year, looking for it over and over again, disappointed over and over again, and expecting it again and again......

Her story made Wan'er's eyes red.

After Xiao Man finished speaking quietly, he said to Wan'er: "Wait for the edict, you say...... Is my brother no longer alive? ”

Wan'er didn't answer her directly, in Wan'er's opinion, this person is likely to be really no longer alive, and there is no need for a beggar to travel long distances to beg for food. In her opinion, this is not necessarily a bad thing for Xiaoman, a teenager who was as pure as water in his childhood, may not be a dirty person with a dirty heart when he grows up.

A beggar, a man who has grown up in a beggar's nest since childhood, how noble can you expect him to be? If such a person has long forgotten the innocence of his youth, but he has taken advantage of a pure girl like Xiaoman, and since then he has been attached to her like a leech, using the warmth and friendship of childhood to squeeze everything from her, how unfortunate should it be for Xiaoman?

Xiao Man saw that she didn't answer, and his eyes turned red again.

Wan'er said softly: "Everyone has relatives who love him and love him, but no matter how big the sadness and nostalgia are, they will always fade with the passage of time...... Do you miss him even more than your mother? ”

Xiao Man said in a daze: "It's not like this, it's just because ...... I know my mother has passed away, but my brother is still alive! ”

Wan'er sighed, she always felt that there was something wrong with Xiaoman's excessive attachment, but she couldn't say anything wrong, the two of them sat silently, and they were a little speechless for a while, only the quiet snowflakes fell silently, sprinkled on their eyebrows and their shoulders......

There is a thing called aiqing in this world, but everyone's aiqing has a different taste and different occurrences. There is love at first sight, there is love for a long time, there is vigorous, and there is plain......

For Xiaoman, it is the accumulation of bits and pieces, cherished in her heart bit by bit, slowly fermenting in the bottom of her heart, with her growth, the stubborn, persistent, gentle, loving, and caring boy has actually grown with her in her heart.

That boy has always been her reliance, her only support, when she was young, just her brother, when she grew up, the image of the boy is constantly repaired and perfected in her heart, and now that image is family affection or aiqing in her heart, in fact, she can't say it herself.

At this time, Princess Taiping came and walked in high spirits.

She wore a scarlet feather satin cloak, reflecting the snowflakes in the sky, rippling with light, revealing a heart-pounding charm in her heroic posture.

Wan'er sighed in her heart and stood up gently.

She found that not only Xiaoman's temperament had changed a little during these days, but Princess Taiping had also changed, becoming strange to her and reluctant to approach.

It's just that she didn't realize that in fact, it was not just the two of them who had become, and she had become no less than these two people.

Hexi, heavy snowfall.

Thousands of miles of lofty mountains are covered with snow. In the valley where the snow is three feet deep, the stream that usually flows has long been frozen into a dead snake, and there is a hot spring, but the temperature of the water is not high, and it does not play a role at all under such a severe cold, and there is a faint spring flowing under the ice, but there is more than three feet of ice on it.

In the valley, a bitter cold wind howled. The whistling sound. It was as if a wolf was howling at the top of the mountain. There was snow, there was wind, and the wind swept the snow. The wind is like a knife, and the wind is invisible, but at the moment it is wrapped in the wind of snowflakes. but it seems to make people see its shape.

However, the special geographical environment of the Great Dou Tu Ba Valley played a role, so that the tribes stationed here could avoid the damage to the tribe and their livestock caused by this terrible white plague.

On the north and south sides are lofty mountains and mountains, blocking the cold wind, and on the east and west sides, high ice walls are erected. The grassland people invented this method long before the Han Dynasty, and in severe cold weather, they used snow water to freeze and quickly build a high wall to block the wind. So as to play a certain role in keeping out the cold.

A top felt tent surrounded by two steep mountains and two ice walls, because it was originally gray and white, was covered with a layer of snow at this time, almost the same color as the earth, and if you didn't get closer, you couldn't find that it was a tent. Thick snow is at risk of crushing the tent, but it is not without its benefits, and a certain amount of snow at the corners and roofs of the tent can also seal all the gaps and make the tent as warm as possible.

The herdsmen of the tribe cut down a large amount of timber from the mountains long before the cold winter came. From morning till night, there is a fire in the tent that keeps it warm. Protected from outside blizzards.

Although the livestock shed was also protected as much as possible, some livestock still froze to death, but such a large snowstorm and such a small amount of damage were negligible to them.

In Wu Zhile's tent, Yang Fan, Shen Mu, Wu Zhile and others were eating hot pot around the fire.

Hot pot in this era called "antique soup", because of the food into the boiling water made by the sound of "coo", they use a cooking vessel is a three-legged bucket, this bucket is a kind of equipment used in the army, can be used to cook rice during the day, can be knocked at night to patrol the watch, the so-called sound of fighting, that is, refers to this thing.

Diao Dou shabu with the frozen cattle and sheep cut out of the thin slices of meat and summer and autumn to pick and dry wild vegetables, emitting a rich aroma, several people put a small dish in front of a few people, put some condiments in it, while shabu mutton beef, while drinking, hot and baking and the movement outside the tent is just like two shijie.

The use of thinning has been the best strategy for soldiers since ancient times.

Yang Fan showed his face in front of the Tubo Prime Minister, intending to arouse his suspicion, originally Yang Fan was worried that this trick alone would not be enough to arouse the vigilance of the Tubo King, and he also reserved a back hand. Unexpectedly, there is no need for this backhand, the king of Tubo and Qinling have long been suspicious of each other, and the sudden appearance of his "Turkic prince" in the Great Prime Minister's Mansion, coupled with Xiong Kaishan's complaint for the Tuqishi tribe, has made the king of Tubo completely suspect Qinling's intentions.

Qinling's traitors didn't work, no matter what kind of news was sent here, Qinling could not convince the Tubo king, who not only resolutely disagreed to send troops, but also sent a special person to protect Xiong Kaishan and return to the Tuqishi tribe to negotiate surrender.

You have a condition, I have a request, and time has passed day by day in the messenger's back and forth, and when the cold winter comes, a big stone in the heart of Uzile finally falls to the ground. In such a season, even if the king of Tubo saw through his strategy of delaying the army, he would not be able to attack on a large scale.

After being convinced that the plan had achieved its goal, Yang Fan and the others left the Tubo royal city, first traveled in the direction of Sichuan and Shu, made a circle, and then found the 'Xiaofei general' Zhang Yi's answering people, Zhang Yi led his horse thief team across Longyou, Hexi, Turkic, and Tubo, and was very familiar with the geographical situation here, and now they have brought them back to the Dadou Tu Valley safely.
