The snow has been spreading for several days and the temperature has plummeted. Whether it is the mountains or the rivers in the distance, they are all white.

In addition to this vast white, the streets and alleys of Gancheng also have a little more taste of the New Year. Although there are no delicate red lanterns, Spring Festival couplets are also hung, and occasionally children play with firecrackers in the street.

Han Yunxiao was woken up by the sound of firecrackers.

He hadn't rested well for days, and the uniform he was wearing was stained with the blood of the enemy, which was now dry and smelled unpleasant.

His long hair and beard were knotted, mixed with blood and flesh scraps, making him look like a wild man who would eat people raw.

Han Yunxiao stroked his beard absently, picked up the cold water on the table and poured a big sip.

The cold water stinged his stomach, and it also made him completely sober.

Pushing open the door and walking out, there was someone in the yard clearing the snow, rustling.

"General, you have woken up, the stove has prepared a meal, do you want to use some first?"

Han Yunxiao nodded, and said, "By the way, prepare some hot water, I should also wash it well." ”

The man who got the order smiled and said, "It's about to be the New Year, so let's find someone for the general to shave his beard and trim his sideburns." ”

Han Yunxiao was slightly stunned, listening to the sound of firecrackers outside, and then realized that the New Year was coming.

In the months since he came to Gancheng, he hasn't slept well. Gancheng is the last line of defense, and it cannot be broken by the enemy under any circumstances. He led his soldiers to defend Gancheng and did not allow the enemy to cross a single step. It is not a way to go on for a long time, and the lost cities still have to find a way to regain them, even if there are no more people in Xiyan there.

I've been busy for too long, and I think of too little place for myself. I don't know if he's been here for so long.

Breakfast is corn batter and coarse cakes made of cornmeal, and a plate of pickles, which is already a very good meal in Gancheng. Only a general like Han Yunxiao can have such treatment.

The soldiers under his command use bran mixed with cornmeal every day to satisfy their stomachs, and it is said that they are not full of food, but the key is that they can't digest it if they eat it, and their stomachs will be swollen. Many soldiers ate it, and their bodies also deteriorated.

But what can they do, the supply of the imperial court has been delayed. With the war comes the shortage of food. The surplus money on hand and how much food can be bought are simply not enough to eat.

Han Yunxiao sighed heavily, "It's difficult for a good woman to cook without rice." ”

Even though he wanted to let the brothers have a good New Year, he could not do anything about it. In such a situation, he couldn't help but think of Qin Xiang. She seemed to be able to do anything, not as stupid as he was.

This is the second time Han Yunxiao has thought of Qin Xiang since he came to Gancheng. He was so busy that his mind was spinning and he couldn't think about the individual at all.

He sneaked to Gancheng, and she must be angry. The more Han Yunxiao thought about it, the more guilty he felt, but he didn't dare to send her a letter. If his identity is known, it will not be a good thing for Qin Xiang. What's more, once she knew, there was no point in worrying in vain.

Han Yunxiao also thought that he didn't leave a word and ran out, would she want to mention and leave when she was angry?

The current city lord of Gancheng was his old department. The old city lord was frightened by the Sidi army, so he gave orders in danger. His first wife's room died during childbirth. The remarried wife is more than ten years younger than him, and she has just been in time for a short time, and she is as delicate as a flower.

It's a pity that halfway couples can't share weal and butter. Knowing that he was degraded, he simply reconciled and divorced, and I heard that he married well later.

When Han Yunxiao heard about this, he didn't despise this woman like others, disliking the poor and loving the rich. It's the city lord who married a little one, do you still expect to be the little girl who is your daughter's daughter and suffer with you? Stop daydreaming.

When he said this, he didn't think of anything else. But now, I think about my situation.

If a man is not capable, he will be abandoned by a woman.

His lady is very powerful and takes good care of the shop. Not only will he make money, but he is also very gentle, and he will raise both children very well. Although it was not reliable before, it has changed very well now. With such an excellent woman, it is impossible to overstate how many men surround her.

Besides, he has no wealth and no land now, and he may die on the battlefield at any time, and it is human nature if she refuses to ask him again.

After Han Yunxiao finished breakfast, his heart was also soaked with a pool of sourness, but he was afraid that the words he said would be a nest of sourness.

On a good morning, this good mood was ruined.

"General!"

The man hurriedly came from outside the door, with an excited face: "General Xu, they have returned to the city, and they have brought a lot of good things, I heard that more than a dozen carts are pulling grain." ”

A dozen truckloads of food is not much, but it is enough for these soldiers to eat for a month.

Rao is Han Yunxiao, and there was a hint of eagerness in his eyes.

"Let's go, let's take a look."

The thin man was talking to the big boss, with a smile on his face, saying that he could finally have a good year.

"The wind and snow outside are so big, the horses can't run, and the Sidi army has to be honest."

Suddenly, a tall figure walked through the door.

When the two of them saw each other, they both said: "General." ”

Han Yunxiao looked at the grain pulled by the tall horses, and the expression on his face was overflowing.

"It's all food?"

"More than that. In addition to food, what sweaters, hand paste, and whatever, we haven't had time to figure out yet......"

Before he could finish speaking, Han Yunxiao interrupted him, his brows furrowed: "You robbed this grain?" ”

The thin man glanced at him, then at the big boss next to him and said, "It's none of General Xu's business, this matter is a decision made by me alone, if the general wants to punish him, punish me." ”

"Xu Jia, you give me a complete explanation of this matter."

The big boss is Xu Jia, and he can only tell the truth.

After hearing this, Han Yunxiao's sword eyebrows frowned slightly: "The Chinese New Year is coming soon, how can there be a caravan carrying a large amount of grain on the road?" Go and call the steward. ”

Chen Wuliu was dragged over, and when he saw the man in front of him who was like a black bear, he couldn't come back to his senses for a long time. Looking at each other's clothes again, they were a little afraid to recognize each other.

"What exactly do you do? Tell me the truth, I won't take your life. ”

Chen Wuliu licked his lips and hesitated.

The other party is dressed like a bandit or a ruffian?

"Dare to ask this ...... Strongman, in what capacity do you ask me? ”

The thin man pushed him, and said angrily, "Our boss asked you." What identity, of course, is the identity of the robber! ”

Everyone was silent, especially Han Yunxiao took a deep look at him, and his heart was even more helpless.

Letting them plunder the caravan is a helpless move, but it is also a realization of the black-hearted merchants who have been selected. Why do you hear them say this now, it seems that they are military households pretending to be bandits, specializing in the evil things in the fish and meat country.

Even Xu Jia looked at the thin man with a disapproving expression, but he didn't say anything.

Chen Wuliu was silent and said, "We were entrusted by someone to send grain to Gancheng, and we don't know anything about the rest. ”

Coming to Gancheng during this period?

They requisitioned some of the food in the city, and they did not dare to touch the rest, which was used to feed the people. Han Yunxiao's people watched, and the rice and grain shops in the city did not dare to raise the price, and the merchants could not make a huge difference in the price when they transported the grain. So these people are coming from Xijing, what is the picture?

Han Yunxiao pursed his lips and suddenly asked, "You were sent by the capital." ”

Chen Wuliu was caught off guard by a word, and the expression on his face was too late to hide.

Han Yunxiao's expression eased a little, "Who sent it?" Your Majesty, or the Prince? ”

Looking at Chen Wuliu's expression, Han Yunxiao was even more determined.

The thin man was a little confused, "Is this accidentally catching your own person?" ”

Chen Wuliu also understood, and hurriedly asked, "You are General Han?" ”

"Han Yunxiao."

You can't see the outside in the carriage, you can only hear the commotion outside.

Qin Xiang and Xiaoyu were tied hand and foot to prevent them from running around on the road.

"The owner, it seems that he has really entered the city."

Qin Xiang nodded, "I just don't know if it's in Gancheng." ”

If they arrive in Gancheng, it will be beneficial to them to find a way to contact Han Yunxiao. It's just that I don't know why these bandits came from Gancheng. And listen to their words, as if they were in great need of food.

Just as I was thinking about it, the curtain was pulled open again.

A plush face came in, and a foul smell came to the face, and the smoke was almost out of breath.

Qin Xiang squinted his eyes and didn't see clearly whether it was a human or a bear, so he was wrapped around the man's two stretched arms.

Qin Xiang: "You! Let me go! ”

Where did Han Yunxiao expect that when he lifted the curtain, he would see the woman he was thinking about this morning. He didn't have time to react, and subconsciously hugged the person into his arms.

On the other end, the skinny man and the others all had their mouths wide open.

"General Xu, our general doesn't really think he is the king of the mountain, right?"

Xu Jia's lips trembled, "General, he...... Robbed the people's daughter! ”

Qin Xiang was frightened at first the moment the man pounced, and then screamed loudly.

Han Yunxiao's eardrums were numb when she called her, and her big hand directly covered her mouth, and persuaded her in a good voice: "Lady, don't be afraid, it's me, Han Yunxiao." ”

When Qin Xiang heard the familiar name, he stopped screaming and tried to distinguish between them on this plush face.

Finally, the discrimination fails.

"How did you do this?"

Han Yunxiao hadn't taken care of himself for a long time, and most of the officers and soldiers in the army were like this, and he didn't think there was anything wrong with it. What's more, the day before yesterday, he went out of the city and killed more than a dozen Sidi soldiers. But at this moment, when Qin Xiang's disgusted expression appeared, he suddenly became nervous.

He was worried that he would be separated, and he didn't clean himself up after a long absence, and he also showed his most embarrassed appearance to his mother.

Qin Xiang was about to say something, but the man suddenly lowered the curtain, turned around and ran.

She was silent and looked at Xiaoyu, who was also stunned.

"You say, is he underwhelmed by my father-in-law?"

Xiaoyu hesitated and nodded, "Han Dongjia does have some ...... I was scared just now, thinking that the owner was going to be arrested and taken away to be the wife of the village. ”

Qin Xiang thought of Han Yunxiao's face and burst out laughing.

"Don't say it, it's like, I was terrified."

Laughing and laughing, there were tears in my eyes.

Tears rolled down his cheeks and stained his eyes red.

Such a handsome man, how many sins he has to suffer to become what he is now.
