Chapter 514: From luxury to frugality
"Isn't it really pretty? Wouldn't it be strange?! ”
Han Shuyan clearly saw the appearance of Yun Niang in his eyes, his brows were furrowed, and the phoenix eyes asked slightly, hiding a trace of pampering and expectation!
"No, it's pretty!"
Regarding Han Shuyan's question, Yun Niang nodded again and affirmed! made Han Shuyan's face show a hint of brilliance, and the curvature of the corners of his mouth deepened a little.
Not long after Han Shuyan left, the heavy wooden door was pushed open again, and Nuan Fei, who had a cold breath, appeared in the room.
"Childe, something really happened!"
Yun Niang's lowered eyelashes fluttered in the air, her calm face stiffened slightly when she heard Nuan Fei's words, her brows were furrowed, and she raised her head very quickly.
"What's going on?"
Since a few days ago, Yun Niang had felt that the atmosphere of the entire border was a little strange, dull and depressing, the footsteps of patrolling outside the door had decreased, and even the patrol team and number of people had also decreased, which made her heart gradually feel bad! But I don't know why!
In the past few days, Han Shuyan has also looked preoccupied, and she doesn't have the leisurely feeling she usually has, she thought! Is he in trouble? That's why I asked a question today.
Now that I heard Nuan Fei's words, my heart sank at the moment! Since it must not be a trivial matter that can give Han Shuyan a headache!
"Childe, the corpses of Han Yue soldiers were found outside this morning, the people have been frozen, frozen with the snow outside the door, and the boss has ordered the people to be carried back for burial! It was also ordered to block the message. ”
"Again?"
Hearing Nuan Fei's words, Yun Niang grabbed the words, could it be that such a thing has already happened! He immediately took a deep breath and asked.
"Yes, this is already the fourth!"
Looking at Yun Niang's sinking face, Nuan Fei also knew that such a thing should not happen!
It stands to reason that from the beginning of winter, the imperial court should send people to send cold materials and other things to the border, but now that the whole winter has passed for so long, I have not heard of any materials from the imperial court being sent down!
So now, the soldiers on the entire border are wearing their usual uniforms, and they can't resist such weather at all, so they can only add more cold things to their bodies, even if it's a piece of cloth or a piece of grass! If it were known now that someone had frozen to death, the prestige of the new emperor in the eyes of the soldiers would definitely be damaged! and even shake the morale of the military. That's why Han Shuyan blocked the news.
"The imperial court didn't send supplies down? It stands to reason that the cold should have been delivered to the border earlier······"
There was some silence in the room for a while, and Yun Niang's voice came with doubts, making Nuan Fei open her mouth, but she didn't say anything!
"Nuan Fei, do you remember the last time the imperial court sent supplies?"
"It's almost four months away!
Four months! It stands to reason that the winter supplies for the imperial court should have arrived two months ago, why is there no movement now, is there something delayed in Shangjing? Or what happened to the materials issued by the imperial court on the way?
Thinking of this, Yun Niang's heart jumped, she felt that things were not so simple!
Outside, the wind and snow were blowing, and the sword wind was raging, ruthlessly blowing through this empty and dilapidated city, even with the hearts of Han Yue's soldiers.
At this time, a team of people and horses appeared in the wind and snow with difficulty, the closer to the north, the more difficult the road became, in the knee-deep snow, dozens of people sweated profusely looking at the wheels in front of them, stuck in place, it was almost a quarter of an hour, if they could not take the wheels out and move forward, they would be afraid of it today.
For a while, everyone was a little anxious, and the strength in their hands increased by two points, and looking at the green-robed young man on the horse in front of him, a glimmer flashed in his eyes.
"Brothers, keep it up! One more time! One, two, three! ”
The crowd shouted again, but the wheels on the ground only moved forward and returned to their original places!
"Phew, it's really unlucky, there is no store in front of the village and behind the road closed by this heavy snow, and the wheels are stuck in the ground again! It's really a disaster, so go and report to the adults in front of you for advice on what to do now? If we continue, we'll all freeze to death here today! ”
The man wearing a cyan military uniform is tall and tall, with good facial features and a righteous body, at this time, looking at the wheels stuck in the ground, there is a trace of fire in his eyes, and he looks at the wheels in the snow with resentment, and he can't wait to stare out of a hole!
After taking two breaths, let the person next to him step forward to report the hazy and thin boy on horseback!
"Yes, head!"
"Lord Qiqi, the wheels of a grain truck are stuck in the snow, and the brothers have tried their best to rescue the wheels.
The sound of conversation behind him had already reached the ears of the young man, and he saw the young man on horseback condescendingly glance at the little soldier under the horse, and replied with an unchanged face.
"Well, you go down and find a thick stick first, and I'll come later!"
"Yes! My lord! ”
Watching the little soldier leave, the young man immediately raised a face that had snatched up the spring flowers and autumn moon, and looked at the misty snow in front of him, with boundless emotions rolling in his eyes! That handsome face also became blurred in the wind and snow!
The young man turned over and dismounted neatly, looked at the little soldier in front of him who handed the wooden stick with both hands, and thrust it into the snow, so that the people surrounding the grain cart did not stand in the way, ignoring the curious and playful looks in the eyes of many people! Holding the edge of the car with one hand, with a strong hand, with a click, the wooden cart in front of him was lifted out by the young man, and the wooden wheels made a creaking sound on the ground! The thick log was also broken in two.
Let the faces of the people next to him change, and when you look at the teenager again, the contempt in your eyes will always disappear without a trace! showed a look of shame and admiration.
"Let's go! Let everyone stay in formation, and don't fall behind in the grain truck! Be aware of the surrounding terrain. ”
"Yes! My lord! ”
"Hmm!"
At this time, the voice of the person in front of him replied differently than before, and there was more affirmation in it, and he replied respectfully for the first time in front of the thousands of soldiers. This is also the first time that Li Wu has expressed his stance to the teenager on the road.
Yun Xiu returned to the horse, looking at the road ahead, a trace of eagerness flashed in his eyes!
Sister, Master! Wait for me!
After arranging the convoy behind him, there were people guarding the periphery next to each team to prevent special circumstances, and Li Wu walked to the front and started on horseback from the road.
After hundreds of carts carrying countless grains and supplies left, I saw the military flag standing in the distance in front of me, vaguely floating in the wind and snow.
The boy's stiff back is gone! The only sound left in the heavy wind and snow was the sound of the snow being crushed.
Yun Niang looked at the two bowls of porridge and a few coarse cakes on the table fixedly, and looked at the person in front of her with deep eyes! Han Shuyan was originally a famous nobleman of the Hanyue Dynasty, and he enjoyed a superior life from childhood to adulthood, eating delicacies from the mountains and seas, but now when he arrives here, all those superior things have to be put down and be an ordinary ordinary person!
After eating porridge and coarse grains, and sleeping on a hard bed in a stone house, I have to say that Han Shuyan sometimes surprises Yun Niang!
After all, it is easy to go from thrift to luxury, and it is difficult to go from luxury to thrift!
