Chapter 432: Cold clothes are hard to wear
Huang Ba carried King Han on his shoulders and threw him on the horse, and Si Fan asked worriedly: "Miss, ...... the prince?"
Ruan Miaoling said: "It's not poisoning, this medicine can make him temporarily sleep for a few days." โ
When Si Fan heard that King Han was fine, he wiped his sweat: "That's good, by the way, the snow water by the stream still needs your antidote to poison it, so as not to poison our soldiers when they enter the mountain and mistakenly eat the stream water in the future." โ
Qiu Daqian wrapped the felt blanket and reminded with a smile: "Just when the King of Han got on the horse, the soldiers you brought had already taken the antidote to the stream. โ
All the soldiers were safe and sound, and Si Fan asked curiously, "Why did they all eat roasted sweet potatoes, but they didn't fall asleep like the prince?" โ
"Well, things with bad looks have never been in the eyes of King Han." Ruan Miaoling smiled faintly, "And I baked it, so I don't want to give it to him." โ
"Report ......"
"Report! Big four, no! โ
Si Fan twisted his eyebrows, and the person who ran back was a soldier who had just gone to the stream to pick snow, could it be that the antidote was lost? These careless men!
"Take a breath and talk well!"
"Four people, by the stream...... There are Tartars by the stream, Tartars! They were drinking water by the stream, and their subordinates didn't dare to approach, so they came back first to report......"
Encountering Tartars on the mountain, and in an unclear number, everyone except for the Han King, who was sleeping on horseback, knew that there was too much uncertainty in it.
"Are they trying to attack the city while the snow is falling?" Huang Liang pleaded: "Miss, you go back to the camp first, I will sneak into the forest to investigate, and I will follow the team in a quarter of an hour." โ
Qiu Daqian also asked to go with him.
Ruan Miaoling agreed to Huang Liang's request and assigned Qiu Daqian to the side of King Han, "Go back and notify the rear camp to be on guard at any time to protect the safety of the prison army." โ
"What about you, miss?"
"I'll go to the city gate, Huang Liang doesn't care if he finds the number of enemies or not, he must come from the trail in a quarter of an hour!"
Huang Liang clenched his fists: "Subordinate, obey!" โ

At the city gates, on the uneven city walls, the snow was getting thicker and thicker, and the cold air invaded the iron clothing of the soldiers defending the city inch by inch.
"It's getting colder, will this year's winter clothes be distributed on time?"
"Although it was half a month late in previous years, it will always arrive, brother, bear with it, if it is not enough, I will lend you the year before last." The spear-wielding soldier loosened his somewhat stiff feet.
There was a sound of iron armor rubbing on the side of the tower, the sound was very urgent, but no shouting was heard, it should have nothing to do with the military situation.
The soldier who was affected by the cold smiled: "It is the brother who manages the food, grass and clothing." โ
He must have good news!
Sure enough, he came to inform all the soldiers that this year's winter clothes and cotton socks would be distributed on time.
"Not only on time, this year's cotton clothes will be warmer than in previous years, you see I specially wear them for you to touch!"
Someone said, "It doesn't look very thick, it's not much different from the one on me." โ
The soldier who delivered the news smiled, "Do you have that running cotton?" โ
Others laughed: "Which one of the pieces we wore that didn't run cotton?" โ
"I don't have this one on me!" He lifted the iron armor and pulled up a corner for others to touch, "The stitches and threads in it are very tightly sewn, and it feels solid when touched, just like what we wear at home." โ
"How can we still wear this kind of craftsmanship on time? Brother, don't come to coax us, this eighty percent was made by your wife, right? โ
"My mother's craftsmanship is not so good, this is made of high-quality cotton purchased by General Li, and the women in the northwest counties have also contributed their craftsmanship, so it feels the same as the cotton clothes worn at home, it doesn't look heavy, but it's very warm when you wear it!"
"It's General Li again......"
I heard that more than ten years ago, when General Li was in the northwest, he converted the rewards given to her by the emperor into money every year, and added clothes and meals to all the officers and men in the army, which led to great victories one after another.
These people have only heard these rumors from the local population, but now they have experienced them first-hand, and they are all proud of them.
"General Li has been staying at his husband's house for more than ten years, how can he exchange so much property for so much, it is not allocated by the imperial court, right?"
"We don't know, don't guess here, have warm clothes to wear, and in every battle after that, everyone will fight with great spirits to live up to the general's kindness!"
Everyone should continue to stand guard in high spirits.

"Princess, Gu Ren has annihilated all the enemies outside Mizhi City and relieved one of the troubles, so we can concentrate on dealing with the Tartars outside the city in the future."
Baozhen rubbed the snow, rolled it into a circle, and threw it on the withered yellow grass, and the snow "thuded" on the mound and shattered into a puddle of debris.
"The enemy has been annihilated, but Guren is still in Mizhi City, indicating that there will be another group of men and horses to besiege." She turned back to Jiang Cheng and said, "Gu Ren hasn't been with me for a long time, but I still know his personality and style of acting. โ
Jiang Cheng asked: "Gu Ren once followed General Ruan, didn't the general discuss a thing or two with the princess?" โ
Baozhen said: "His people, his affairs, except for family and family affairs, I never ask a thing or two. What would you do if your wife told you that her mother's brother-in-law was a good businessman and wanted to open a shop in the most prosperous area of the capital through the relationship of the Hou Mansion? โ
"I know my wife's temperament, as long as it is the person she likes, there must be merit, so I will ask my father and younger siblings at home to help and give that person a chance."
Baozhen smiled: "If this matter were begged by my husband, I would not do it." First, my husband is filial and righteous, but it doesn't mean that his family will be like this, so I will look at it, and if I can't see it, let my cronies check it.
Second, I won't bother my mother's family. I don't say this because I'm a royal person, if I'm a young lady married from the Hou Mansion, my husband's relatives have a request for me, and I will do my best if I can help, and I will never bother my family if I can't help. Because you don't know what kind of trouble the person you're going to help will cause you in the future.
The most important thing is the third point, although I know my husband and love him very much, I will not put him first in everything. โ
Jiang Cheng asked: "In that case, won't the general have a grudge against the princess?" โ
If he gets along with his wife like this, I am afraid that the next morning, his wife will be angry and set off with her children to return to the capital.
Baozhen said: "You patiently talk to the other party about the cause and effect, and the stakes, but anyone who knows how to make a choice, so where to start?" โ
"The last general has another question, the princess can stay sober in the face of the general and the people around him, why would she trust Gu Ren so much after the death of the general, and even entrust the life of the third young lady?"
"Because there is no suspicion in employing people, and suspicions are not used."
Jiang Cheng bowed his head and said respectfully: "Although it is the most ordinary words in the war book, Jiang Cheng has only really understood it today, and I hope that the princess will mention Jiang Cheng more on the battlefield in the future." โ
