Chuan Ming brought Chu Tianyou in.

In the study, Mr. Cai, Ye Huai'an and others were keenly aware of strangers coming here, so they all stopped talking.

Ye Zhiwei explained: "The news over there in Hansha City was brought by this Chu Qianhu. ”

Ye Huai'an looked Chu Tianyou up and down, and his expression softened.

Mr. Cai suddenly got up and bowed to Chu Qianhu.

Chu Tianyou didn't expect that he could be treated so courteously, and he was so shocked that he wanted to avoid it, not wanting to have difficulty moving his legs and feet, and almost fell down on crutches.

Ye Zhiwei's face was slightly constricted, and she said with a straight face, "Chu Qianhu wants to go north with us?" ”

"Yes." Chu Tianyou said hurriedly, "Ask the princess to be accommodating." ”

He wanted to go back, even if Cold Sand City had already fallen into the hands of the enemy.

His life is over, he has lost his legs, he can't stay in the army anymore, if he stays in the capital, he may never have a chance to go back, who cares about him as a small Qianhu.

"My subordinates are very familiar with the northern route and can be a guide." Chu Tianyou said seriously, even if he didn't have a war horse when he came, he still galloped all the way down the path, although he almost died of exhaustion on the way.

"The princess is going to send her baggage to the north." He looked at Ye Zhiwei fixedly, he couldn't believe it when he heard the news that the princess regent was going to lead a convoy to Cold Sand City.

How can a woman go with an army to that bitter cold land?

In the north, half of the year is frozen weather, and the rest is mostly windy and sandy days, and it is extremely difficult for grain crops to grow.

Ye Zhiwei hesitated, but nodded anyway.

Because she had only gone to transport her baggage, in fact there were 20,000 horses hidden in their convoy.

"If the days in the north weren't so hard, so many things wouldn't have happened." A strange wry smile appeared on Chu Tianyou's face, "The military salary issued by the imperial court was originally insufficient, and the officials privately withheld most of it, and many of our brothers did not take a copper plate of military pay until they died in battle. He looked at Ye Zhiwei, "But even so, we are still desperate, desperate in the army, does the princess know what we are for?" ”

Ye Zhiwei couldn't help but be a little moved, even if she didn't know Chu Tianyou, but she knew how bad the environment in the north was.

"We want to live an upright life, and we don't want to become a lackey of the North Season." Chu Tianyou's voice was a little choked, "In the eyes of their Beifan people, we are not even as good as beasts, even lower than their mules and horses!" We just want to live like human ......"

"But the army can't even eat enough, let alone fight, often after the end of the war, the number of people who freeze to death and die of exhaustion is twice as many as the people who are injured and die, even if this is the case, we admit it, but the officials above collude with the enemy in the north, and we will be stigmatized as traitors if we die...... Even if we die, we won't be reconciled! ”

In the study, Mr. Cai, Ye Huai'an and others all quieted down, and everyone quietly looked at Chu Tianyou, a man who had lost his legs, aggrieved and crying like a child.

Ye Huai'an was born in a family of military generals, and he knows the hearts of the soldiers below, they are not afraid of death, they are not afraid of injury, but they are afraid that they will be regarded as traitors to the party after death, and they will not die even if the blood is exhausted.

"Princess, I know that I am a waste now, and I will only cause trouble for you in the army, but even if you treat me as an object, please take me on the road, I will die in my homeland."

His wife and children are still in the north, and even if they die in the war, he will go back and die with them.

Ye Zhiwei looked at Chu Tianyou, "I will discuss it with the lieutenant generals in the army, it would be best if you are familiar with the route, we just lack a guide now, but your leg is ......" She paused deliberately, "You can't ride a horse now, the road is a little inconvenient, so you can only take a car ......"

"You can have someone tie me to a horse!" Chu Tianyou said urgently.

Ye Zhiwei frowned, "But you have been cut off from the decoction these days, and the wound has not healed at all, the weather in the north is cold, and it will make your wound worsen in a few days, I don't want our guide to die halfway through." ”

Chu Tianyou was anxious and blurted out: "I...... I'm going to drink the medicine now! ”

Everyone in the room couldn't help but almost burst out laughing.

Anyone can see that Ye Zhiwei is deliberately using the method of agitation to force Chu Tianyou to save the idea of living, but he didn't expect that this Chu Qianhu was also a simple person, and he was in a hurry for a while, and he actually said such naïve words.

Ye Zhiwei couldn't help but want to laugh, and the sad atmosphere just now gradually eased.

"Aren't you going to drink the medicine now?" Ye Zhiwei deliberately reprimanded with a cold face.

Chu Tianyou grabbed the back of his head, looking embarrassed.

"Well, as long as you are willing to obey my arrangement, I will take you with me." Ye Zhiwei said, "You are just if you dare to disobey yin and yang...... Hugh blames me for being unkind! ”

Chu Tianyou said hurriedly: "Princess, your subordinates are definitely not like that, just according to the princess's arrangement!" ”

Ye Zhiwei immediately sent Xiaolian to Mr. Cui to pick up the medicine, and asked Chu Tianyou to go back to try the wheelchair.

Chu Tianyou didn't dare to have any more objections, and obediently retreated.

Everyone discussed it properly, and Ling Yu just sent someone to deliver hot dumplings.

Ye Zhiwei smiled bitterly, "Mother, does this mean that we are going out to do business?" "When you go out and enter the storefront, it seems that Ling Yu wants to give them a good luck.

Mr. Cai stuffed a dumpling into his mouth and exclaimed: "With Mrs. Ling's intentions, we will have a smooth journey, and when we come back, we will make up my mind to ask Mrs. for a bowl of noodles to eat." ”

Everyone ate a lot, and as soon as it was dark, Ye Zhiwei and the others packed up and prepared to leave the house.

Mo Nianben had already followed the nurse back to the house to sleep, but somehow he woke up suddenly, crying non-stop, no matter how the people in the house coaxed, it was useless.

In the end, Liu Yan suddenly said: "Miss, is she looking for the princess?" ”

Mo Nian stopped crying all of a sudden, she stretched out her little hand and wanted Liu Yan to hug her.

"What can I do?" The nurse was worried.

Liu Yan thought for a moment and said, "Quickly bring a thick dress, the princess may not leave yet." ”

When they hurriedly rushed to the gate of the mansion with Mo Nian in their arms, Ye Zhiwei was about to get into the car.

Ye Zhiwei couldn't help but be a little surprised when she saw Liu Yan hugging Mo Nian.

"She hasn't slept?" She was surprised.

"I was asleep, but I suddenly woke up just now, crying non-stop." Liu Yan said helplessly.

Ye Zhiwei had to get out of the carriage again and stepped forward to pick up Mo Nian.

"Girl, I'm going to help your father, it's cold in the north, I can't take you with me." She reached out and pinched Mo Nian's chubby cheek, and whispered, "If you really have the true dragon qi that the old monk said, it is better to stay here and protect your grandmother and Duyan." ”

Mo Nian pursed his mouth, seemed to have compromised, and stopped crying.

Ye Zhiwei handed her back to Liu Yan.

Chuan Ming stood there with the guards, his face was black and about to drip water.

Ye Zhiwei said to him, "The security of the house will be handed over to you." ”

Even if Chuan Ming has a hundred reluctances in his heart, he can only claim to be yes.

Ye Zhiwei knew what he was afraid of, so she smiled and said, "Don't worry, the regent has me to intercede for you, and he won't let him blame you." ”

Chuan Ming arched his hand and said: "The princess should be more careful along the way, and her subordinates will send a hundred secret guards to accompany her, but if you need it, you just have to greet them." ”

Taking advantage of the thin night, Ye Zhiwei and her entourage left the house and handed over the secret decree given by the emperor at the north gate of the city.

The sergeant guarding the gate opened the city and let him go.

Not far from the city, it secretly rendezvoused with the baggage convoy, and the convoy raised an embroidered eagle banner and went all the way north......
