Mingwei and Ning Xiu drew a path, and the group led the horses and carefully drilled in the snow.

The snow in the mountains and forests is too thick, and if it collapses again, even they are buried in it, it will be a thousand miles away.

It took three days to travel, and when they reached their destination, they drilled in the woods for another two days and still found nothing.

"Rest." Seeing that it was getting dark, Yang Shu commanded.

And all the families will encamp, and they will gather wood.

"Can we really find Zongxu?" There was a vast snow-colored field in front of him, and Yang Shu couldn't help but doubt.

"If General Zong is still alive, it should be in this area." Mingwei rubbed his hands and said, "This is the living gate, and looking at the terrain, the forest is vigorous, and there is room to hide." ”

Yang Shu took her hand, unbuttoned his clothes and put it in. The cold hand touched the warm chest, and he shivered.

"I told you not to come with me, what should I do if I get sick when I freeze like this?"

Ming smiled and said, "Isn't there you?" ”

"I'm not a god." Warming her hand, he spread his arms, "Come over yourself." ”

Mingwei obediently leaned over and let him hug him tightly.

"You sleep for a while, and then I'll call you when I can eat." Yang Shu said.

"Hmm." The body was warmed by him, and Mingwei didn't refuse. This body is a little weak, and if they fall ill, it will really drag them down.

I was confused, and I heard a voice in my ear.

When she opened her eyes, she saw the generals helping a frozen man over.

Mingwei blinked, suddenly came to his senses, and sat up straight.

"People! They found a living man! ”

Yang Shu patted her, straightened out his clothes, and waited for the family general to come and report.

"Childe, we picked up a person when we were collecting firewood!" The scout Lao Fang happily reported, "Look at the battle armor on his body, it should be General Zongda's personal guard." Wait a minute, we'll wake him up. ”

The generals dug up a handful of snow, rubbed the man hot, and roasted the fire for a while, and finally saw him slowly wake up.

"Brother, can you hear me?"

The man saw their appearance clearly and was very excited: "You are reinforcements? We've finally arrived! ”

Ah Xuan hurriedly asked, "Are you General Zong's personal guard?" Are people still alive? ”

"Exactly," the man's expression was a little gloomy, "the general is fine, but the brothers have been buried in the snow for a long time......"

After making sure that Zong Xu was still alive, Yang Shu was relieved. After asking them about their situation, he immediately ordered: "Let's not camp here, let's meet with General Zongda." ”

"Yes."

The generals quickly packed up, followed the guard, and drilled into the snow for a long time, and finally found Zong Xu's place to live when it was dark.

"General, General!" The guard shouted happily, and was immediately stopped sternly.

"Whisper! Do you want another avalanche? ”

The guards hurriedly sealed their mouths and lowered their voices to report: "Captain, reinforcements are coming!" Someone found us! ”

Zong Xu was roasting the fire, and seeing that the guard was following behind him, he got up and walked over, and asked excitedly, "But Rui'er sent someone?" ”

"General Zong, it's me." Yang Shu took off his helmet.

When Zong Xu saw that it was him, he was very stunned: "Why are you?" It's not safe here, how can the third son be in danger? What about Rui'er? ”

Yang Shu said: "General, the eldest prince of Zong can't come, and the Xirong departments are opposed." ”

"What?!"

……

The moonlight reflects the snow, making it even more lonely and cold.

Yang Shu and Zong Xu sat opposite each other in the tent and told the story of what had happened in these days.

Zong Xu furrowed his brows and was silent for a while.

"General Zong, look at this, is there a problem?"

"How?"

"What a coincidence. The Hu attacked the gravel slope, and then you came to the rescue, and you were trapped. Immediately afterwards, the Xirong troops rebelled together, broke through the Guliang Pass in a short time, and suddenly forced the Northwest Army into the worst situation. Ring by ring, there is no reaction time at all. ”

Zong Xu's expression darkened when he thought of the third brother who died in battle.

The son of the Zong family died another in battle.

"The old man has been guarding the border for decades and knows all about the Xirong tribes. They are far less fierce than the Hu people, and they are not as united. This time it was so neat, and it also broke through in one fell swoop, it is impossible to say that there is no plan behind it. ”

Zong Xu paused, and said: "And my third brother, who has always been alert, and he is in Guliangguan, and the old man is very relieved." I can't believe that this time he was broken through in such a quick time, and he couldn't escape himself......"

"So, General Zong also thinks that this thing is boring?"

"The old man can't guarantee anything." Zong Xu said tactfully, "I'm only halfway through when I was buried in the snow, and I still don't know what's going on!" ”

Speaking of this, he asked him again: "How is the battle on the gravel slope?" ”

Yang Shu shook his head gloomily: "This avalanche has buried the road, not only General Zong is trapped here, but our reinforcements can't pass over." After so many days, the road has only been shoveled less than halfway, and the defenders of the gravel slope must have been more than lucky. ”

Zong Xu has long been accustomed to death, and said calmly: "It seems that they have been loyal to the country. ”

Yang Shu said: "Now that the road is buried, I am not afraid of the Hu people going south, but this thing is always weird, and if I don't figure it out, I am afraid that there will be endless troubles." ”

Zong Xu looked at him and didn't speak.

Yang Shu touched his face: "General Zong, is there something wrong?" ”

Zong Xu stared at him: "What does the third prince want?" ”

Yang Shu shook his head: "I don't understand what you say. ”

Zong Xu said lightly: "This is none of your business, but you took such a big risk to find the old man, and now it is not too troublesome at all, trying to find out the connection behind it." The Zong family was favored for no reason, which really made the old man uneasy. ”

Yang Shu smiled: "General Zong is too tired to live like this, and he doesn't dare to accept the kindness of others at all?" ”

"Anyone else's resignation, if the third son is the word, the old man really doesn't dare."

Yang Shu was speechless.

After a while, he said, "I really hope to get the favor of the Zong family, but I can't afford anything else, and I don't dare to ask for it." Now, I just can't sit idly by. ”

He looked down at his hand: "If my surname was Yang, would I have a more comfortable life today?" Isn't there room for those military arts and skills that you have learned? In my life, I don't know what the meaning of living like this is...... General Zong, these days, I really envy Ling Lang, it is really a happy thing to be able to learn and be useful. ”

Yang Shu's voice was low, lonely and cold in the snowy night.

Zong Xu knew that he was deliberately creating an atmosphere, and he couldn't bear to break it at this time.

After a long silence, he said, "Let's discuss this matter again." Now that the third prince is here, and there are capable people under him, how about helping us find one first? Even if the brothers of the gravel slope have been killed in battle, their bodies must be carried out. ”

Yang Shu also collected his mood and said, "Since I am here, I will act on the orders of General Zong." ”
