Chapter 317: The Flame Warms the Four Mountains

Seeing the mountain rabbit scurrying into a mountain col, Jin Youzi complained bitterly in his heart. Today, for some reason, the horse looks like it is going to catch this mountain hare before he stops. In such a remote place, if you get lost, how can you go back?

Turning into the mountain pass, the horse suddenly slowed down, Jin Youzi raised his eyes to look, there was a broken wall in front of him, there were still a few old willows, and it looked like an old palace.

He got off his horse and tried to lead him back, but the horse refused to go away, and dragged him to a ruined stone bridge.

Jin Youzi looked around, and inexplicably felt that something very familiar seemed to be around. But except for the pile of rubbles hidden by turnips, it is indeed desolate and uninhabited.

He leaned over to the horse, "Did you see anything?" Or, do you feel it too? I always feel ......"

The sound of horses' hooves behind him was near, and someone raised his voice, "You can pick a place." ”

Jin Youzi turned around and saw that it was Zhu Di, and hurriedly stepped forward, "The minister was brought here by a horse......

Zhu Di had already turned over and dismounted, helped him up, and looked around, "This place, I have been here, was once the location of a palace in the Yuan Dynasty." How did you end up here? ”

Jin Youzi was stunned for a moment, didn't he see it? pressed the strange and said, "It's a horse, ...... me" looked up and saw Zhu Di's expression was stunned, he didn't speak to himself, but his eyes fell on the stone bridge on the side.

"Interesting." Zhu Di suddenly said leisurely.

Jin Youzi endured it, but swallowed back the sentence 'What's interesting'.

Zhu Di looked away and looked at the ruins and broken walls, "Once you enter the hinterland of the grassland, the water becomes difficult to find. Every ten days, it is necessary to find a water source to build a walled city, and when there is a shortage of water when marching, you can immediately send people back to the walled city to get water. This requires people who are good seekers of water. ”

Jin Youzi bowed, "There should be people in the army who explore the water......"

"Hmm," Zhu Di cut off his words, "there are better ones now." After that, he turned around and left, "Today, when you enter the Desheng Pass, the terrain is steep, but you have to follow closely." ”

Jin Youzi followed and turned over on the horse, and felt something strange about it, and couldn't help but look back. The old base is desolate, and the dangerous pavilion is full of remnants, and I really can't see anything, so I have to urge the horse to keep up with the figure that has run away in front of me.

In front of Desheng Pass, the wind is strong and cold, and the stone walls on both sides go straight into the clouds like knives. Carriages and horses were crowded through the narrow roads, and the walls of the pass had to be torn down to pass through.

The snow in the mountain gorge was frozen and slippery, and he couldn't withstand the cold wind, so Jin Youzi had to dismount. After the soles of the boots were covered with snow, it became more and more difficult to walk, and when I wanted to get on the horse again, I climbed the saddle with both hands, but I was so cold that I couldn't bend and stretch, and I couldn't climb up at all.

As he walked along, he accidentally stepped on the thin ice of the mountain stream beside the road, and his boots were immediately soaked, and his feet were tingling with the cold to the bone.

"Why are you so stupid......" someone sighed in his ear.

Jin Youzi was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly turned his head to look, but except for the chariots, horses, chariots, and horses, Bai and Huangyue, there was no one he knew. He was about to lead the horse and continue walking, when suddenly a hand slapped his shoulder very hard, "Lord Jin's boots are wet, go to bake the fire and then leave?" ”

Jin Youzi was almost slapped and sat on the ground, looking along the thick arm, the man next to him was tall and big, and the armor could barely restrain the belly. And this person's appearance is unfamiliar, he has never seen it, Jin Youzi let go, "Thank you for your kindness, I'm afraid it's inappropriate to stop and rest at this time......"

Before he finished speaking, he was dragged by the man to the barren forest on the side of the road, "What's wrong?" Lord Kim was thinking too much. ”

This man's strength is amazing, Jin Youzi can't break free at all, "When you are marching, how can you leave without permission......"

The man still held him and sneered, "You see, the army is passing through such a narrow pass right now, and when your boots are baked, you will sleep again, and you may not be able to finish walking." ”

Jin Youzi was about to say anything, but he saw a very prosperous fire in the open field in front of him, with a stone pot hanging on it, and the aroma was bubbling up.

The man sat him down by the fire, and stretched out his hand to take off his boots. Jin Youzi hurriedly dodged, "I'll do it myself!" It's good to do it yourself. ”

The man didn't insist, walked to the woods on the side, and soon came back with a pile of firewood.

"Are you ......," Jin Youzi couldn't help but ask.

"Just call me Qiao Si, I'm transporting firewood in the baggage camp." He smiled and added a lot of firewood to the fire, and the fire became more and more vigorous.

Jin Youzi took off his boots and roasted them on the stones next to the fire, and couldn't help but bring his feet that were already numb from the cold over, and suddenly warmed up a lot, and couldn't help but say, "Thank you......"

Qiao Si handed him a stoneware bowl, "In this stone pot is the wild vegetable soup I cooked, it's not delicious, but it's enough to warm your body." Adults try it! ”

Jin Youzi smelled the fragrance and was hungry for a long time, so he didn't shirk it at the moment, scooped a bowl and drank it. After taking a sip, his hand shook violently, and the soup suddenly spilled a little.

Qiao Si frowned, "It's so unpleasant?" Seeing Jin Youzi staring at himself in a daze, he was a little uncomfortable, "Lord Jin, are you burning your mouth, or is this soup really so unpalatable?" ”

The corners of Jin Youzi's mouth twitched, "Who are you?" ”

The corners of Qiao Si's mouth twitched, "Lord Jin is stupid?" It's called Qiao Si, didn't you just say it......"

"You soup...... I've drunk it. Jin Youzi was still staring at him.

Qiao Si was stunned for a moment, then laughed, and the meat on his face kept shaking, "Lord Jin is really interesting, this soup is cooked with the most common weed roots, and it can also be drunk in the small restaurant on the street of Jingshi." It's not uncommon for adults to drink it......"

Jin Youzi leaned over suddenly, pinched and pulled Qiao Si's fleshy face, but he really didn't notice anything abnormal.

Qiao Si sat stiffly with his eyes fixed for a long time before he made a sound, "Jin...... Lord Kim turned out to be ...... I...... I won't say it......"

Jin Youzi didn't hear him muttering at all, and sat back with some disappointment. After taking another sip of soup and tasting it carefully, he stared at Qiao Si again, "Is it you?" ”

Qiao Si saw that the meaning in his eyes was very unusual, so he just rushed over and caught himself, and immediately felt a chill on the back of his neck, "Yes...... Be...... What am I? ”

Jin Youzi sat back suddenly, staring at the fire in a daze, and muttered, "Yes, what is ......it?"

Qiao Si didn't dare to say anything anymore, until he saw him leave far away, and then he breathed a sigh of relief, "What's wrong with this Lord Jin......" After a while, he felt that something was wrong, scratched his head and said, "Huh? Why do I make a fire here to make soup......"

When Jin Youzi caught up with the people in front of him, he looked up and saw Hu Guang, a scholar from Zuo Chunfang, hurriedly coming to look for him.

"Where have you been, Lord Kim? Your Majesty is looking for you. Jin Youzi panicked, could it be that he had been baking his boots for a while, but he was discovered?

When they arrived at the camp gate, Zhu Di was looking at something with Yang Rong. The lieutenant excitedly pointed to the prey on the ground, "Your Majesty, it is a blessing to be able to hunt wild horses today......"

Zhu Di motioned for Jin Youzi to step forward, "Lord Jin is here to take a look at this wild horse." ”

Jin Youzi looked at it for a moment, "It's the first time Xia Guan has seen a wild horse......

Zhu Di shook his head, "You wait and take a closer look, wild horses are like horses, this is a wild mule, not a wild horse." Everyone laughed, and the lieutenant confessed and retreated with the others.

Zhu Di left Jin Youzi alone by his side, "On the road today, can you have frostbite feet?" If you feel that your feet are cold, don't attach them to the fire, but walk around a lot, and they will warm up. ”

Jin Youzi hurriedly lowered his eyes, "The minister is careful to be taught......"

Zhu Di's gaze swept over Jin Youzi's boots very quickly, and he raised his eyes to look at the soldiers who were digging a well in the distance to find water, and the corners of his lips showed a very faint smile.
