The sky and the earth were covered with snow, and the cold wind swept the remnants of snow on the ground. After seven or eight days of dormant in the house, after the snow stopped, the town of Wuya returned to its former bustle, and the trade road had been cleared, and the merchant travelers got up early to pack their bags, loaded the goods and put them on the carriage, and prepared to set off on the road. Walking to the entrance of the town, the ground suddenly trembled, and a cloud appeared on the plain outside the town in the dark, and it was not long before it appeared clearly in people's sight.

"It's the army!" I don't know which one of the eyesights shouted loudly, and the crowd was in a commotion.

The shouts of evasion, the neighing of horses, and the sound of cursing were everywhere, and the peace of Wuya Town was shattered today.

On the high ground at the other end of the town, Nina looked at the "black clouds" surging in the sky, the hand holding the reins tightened and tightened, and the joints were white and even the green tendons were clearly visible.

"Commander, what now?"

Nina glared fiercely at the questioner and turned her horse's head, "I have fallen into the plan to divert the tiger from the mountain, and Mrs. Hua has indeed been in the town all along." However, at this time, the opportunity has been lost, the Black Wind Army under Hua Shaoyan has arrived, Wuya can't keep it, Dahua's purpose doesn't stop there! It is necessary to evacuate as soon as possible and report back to Anyuan as soon as possible. ”

A team of men and horses could no longer catch the lost "meat ticket", and rode away at a gallop.

The town of Uya was in disarray, but by the time the army surrounded the town, everyone had run away, and the gates of the town were closed, dead silent, except for the neat and dull sound of horses' hooves.

"Has the Dahua army arrived?" Qing Dai heard the shouts outside in the house, and looked back at Hua Shaoyan, "Are we leaving?" ”

"It's coming.

Before the two could say a word, the commander of the Black Wind Army outside the door begged to see Hua Shaoyan, and Qingdai left under the pretext of cooking.

In winter, Beihu lacks grain and vegetables. Qingdai can only make some pasta, pancakes, with some bacon and pickles, so it is not a hassle to cook. Thinking that Hua Shaoyan still had a military discussion, Qingdai didn't immediately bring it to the house when she cooked the meal, took two sweet potatoes and threw them in the stove, and sat next to her with tongs to stir up the charcoal fire.

"Why don't you go back for so long?"

"Huh?" Qing Dai, who was sitting by the stove in a daze, was startled by Hua Shaoyan, who suddenly walked in. Glared at him. Turn around and pull out the sweet potatoes that have been baked. "I'm afraid you're going to say something, so I took the time to bake two more sweet potatoes. Almost, let's go to the house and eat! ”

"It smells good." Hua Shaoyan's nose twitched slightly, "I'll help you." ”

The two went to the main house with their meals.

"I'll see you go in two days."

Only yourself? The hand holding the rice bowl paused. Qing Dai captured the meaning of the words and sent himself away, he would not go, and he could not go. understood that the battle ahead was tense, but at the thought that the two were about to separate, Qing Dai felt empty in her heart.

Detect subtle changes in the mood of Qing Dai. Hua Shaoyan sent down the chopsticks. He touched her head soothingly. "I guess the news here will reach Yasuhara soon, I'm afraid I won't be able to send you. Don't worry. I will send Chen Xuan to send you back to Shangjing. ”

"Hmm!" Qing Dai said sullenly, "I thought I could accompany you to the end of the New Year, but I didn't expect ......"

Hua Shaoyan sighed, he didn't want to keep Qingdai by his side to protect her, but the big war was imminent, and it was too dangerous to leave her behind, "The person who kidnapped you just left this place not long ago, and I just sent someone to round her up." In two days, the main force of the right army will arrive, and Wuya Town is about to fight a tough battle, I don't worry about you staying. I can't keep my family in the barracks, so I'll be relieved to send you back. ”

After the surprise attack of the Dahua army, occupied the two cities of Jinyuan and Henghua, Wuya Town belongs to Henghua, and Fengyi, the nearest Beihu grain storage place from Anyuan, is located at the foot of Mianyun Mountain, there is only one passage in and out of such weather, Wuya is the only place to go to Fengyi, and Henghua also connects the other two grain storage places, occupying Wuya, which is to cut off the grain road of the Beihu army. As soon as Nina discovered the traces of the Black Wind Army, she knew that something was wrong, so she did not enter the town at the moment, but turned her horse around and returned to Yasuhara to report the news.

Hua Shaoyan said again: "Regardless of whether or not Nina and her party can be blocked, the news will arrive two days later at most, and then Zong Wok will inevitably lead the army back to aid Wuya, even if Fengyi cannot be saved in the end, it can also block the back road of our army's retreat." If you don't send back reinforcements, in such weather, it will take a month for the Zongwu army to mobilize grain and grass at the earliest, and it will only take five days to go to Henghua. Now their grain and grass can't last for half a month, this half month is enough for our army to encircle Anyuan, and he will not sit still and wait for death. Therefore, Zong Wok could only recapture Henghua by breaking the cauldron so that they could get supplies as quickly as possible. ”

After listening to Hua Shaoyan's explanation, Qingdai nodded, "I understand." The battle is important, and the sooner you finish the fight, the sooner you can go back. The army is stationed today, you still have something to do, I'll clean up after eating early. ”

After eating, Hua Shaoyan went out and didn't come back until midnight. The husband and wife lay on the bed, chatting about the past, planning for the future, and neither of them mentioned the war.

Two days later, Qingdai left Wuya Town and went to Henghua.

Hua Shaoyan rode a horse to see him off, walked five miles, and finally stopped.

Qing Dai got out of the car, ignored everyone on the side, hugged Hua Shaoyan's waist, and put her face against his chest, "I'm leaving, don't think I want to be distracted, go home after the battle early." ”

Hua Shaoyan grabbed Qingdai's shoulder, so that he could see her face, reached out and pinched her cheek, "Leave, think I can, you must think about it every day." ”

Qing Dai stood on tiptoe and printed a kiss on Hua Shaoyan's face, "Okay! ”

Qing Dai made an intimate move as if no one was around, which shocked Chen Xuan and others, but they didn't expect that Mrs. would be as bold and bold as a Beihu woman

Hua Shaoyan was stunned for a moment, then squinted his eyes, and yelled at Chen Xuan and the others: "Look at something, everyone has no eyesight, get away." ”

The crowd scattered in a hurry.

Hua Shaoyan raised his eyebrows and looked at Qing Dai and did not speak. Qingdai pouted, "Don't like it?" It's all your descendants, and I'm not afraid that they will go out and talk nonsense. ”

Hua Shaoyan choked his grunting little mouth, tasted his lips carefully, hooked his tongue, and deepened the parting kiss.

"I like it, just let them watch the play in vain, and they will lose a panic!" Hua Shaoyan kissed Qingdai on the forehead again, "Although there are escorts along the way, you have to pass through the Beihu grassland, so you should be more careful along the way." ”

Qing Dai sniffed, held back her tears, and hid in Hua Shaoyan's arms to absorb the familiar green wood fragrance on his body, "I'm leaving, take care!" "She can't be a child anymore, and there are still many things waiting for him in the town of Wuya.

Pushing Hua Shaoyan Qingdai into the car, Hua Shaoyan didn't say anything, turned over and got on the horse, recalled Chen Xuan and the others, and said a few more words, and then patted Chen Xuan's shoulder, "I handed over my sister-in-law to you!" ”

Chen Xuan hugged his fists at Hua Shaoyan, "The general puts it down, and his subordinates will definitely send his sister-in-law back to Beijing safely." ”

Qing Dai lifted the curtain, looked at the handsome man outside the window, and stretched out her hand. Hua Shaoyan hurriedly grabbed her hand, and the two of them looked at each other, all reluctant to give up.

The carriage started, and the hands of the two men slowly let go.

"Waiting for you to come back!"

"Wait until I'll get back!"

The two spoke in unison, looking at each other and smiling.

Hua Shaoyan stood in place for a long time, Qingdai's carriage turned into a black dot and disappeared on the horizon, he smiled slightly, stroking the smooth mane of the black wind, "I really want to go back to Beijing as soon as possible to hug my wife, I guess you in the stable in the house should also miss you." So, old man, this time you must fight quickly, and kill Zong Wok so that he is powerless to fight back! ”

Black Wind raised his front hooves and hissed with his head raised, as if answering his master's question.

One person and one horse generally went in the direction of Wuya Town.

……

Leaving Wuya, Qing Dai and his party arrived in Henghua City when it was almost dark on the fifth day.

Because of the heavy snowfall, there was no sign of a great battle on the streets, and there were no pedestrians on the streets, and every shop was closed. Only soldiers in armor patrols could be seen on the street, and Qingdai's group of people and carriages looked very abrupt on the street.

Chen Xuan took Qingdai to the City Lord's Mansion, which is now the central tent of the Dahua defenders. Qing Dai did not show up, Chen Xuan went in alone to see the garrison General Chen, the general went out to patrol the camp, the deputy general knew that there were female dependents, so Chen Xuan and his party were placed in the mansion outside the house to rest.

As soon as Qing Dai stayed, Chen Xuan went back to investigate the battle situation. Half an hour later, Chen Xuan ran back to report to Qing Dai.

"Quick, drink a glass of water, sit down and talk!" Although Qing Dai was anxious, she saw Chen Xuan's panting appearance and handed him a glass of water.

"Thank you, ma'am." Chen Xuan took it and drank it all.

Only then did Qing Dai ask: "How is the current battle situation of Wuya?" ”

Chen Xuandao: "Just received the battle report, Zong Wok poured out of the nest and marched from Anyuan to Wuya, and he will arrive at Wuya in two days. General Chen said that the war is urgent, and it is very likely that Zong Wok will divide his troops to fight Henghua when he gallops to the aid of Fengyi, so that we can go on the road early tomorrow morning. ”

Qing Dai has no objection, at this time, if she stays in the battle circle for one more day, the danger will increase, and she wants to leave as soon as possible, "Everything is at your command, in addition, send someone to the city to find me two men's clothes, it is inconvenient to wear women's clothes on the road." ”

"Madame is right, I'll call someone to do it."

Early the next morning, Qingdai changed into men's clothes and went on the road again. General Chen, who was stationed in Henghua, sent a small team of men and horses to escort Qing Dai and his party to Tongyuan. After the same source, it is the Huer grassland to the east, there is no big town within a radius of 100 miles, but it is the boundary ruled by King Zuoxian of Beihu, Chen Xuan was worried that too many people would arouse suspicion, so he called that small group of Dahua army back to Henghua. A group of men disguised themselves as merchants who had escaped from the war zone and entered the grassland.

Since entering the grassland, Qingdai has never heard any news of the battlefield ahead, and the group walked peacefully for ten days, and when they were about to leave the grassland, they ran into the patrol cavalry of Zuo Xianwang's station.
