Fang Hao was walking on the street alone, and an old man begging walked up to him, stretched out the broken bowl in his hand and said miserably: "Give me something to eat." ”

Fang Hao groped from his cuffs, but when he was groping, Fang Hao saw that the old man in front of him looked like a very person-the emperor.

Fang Hao's eyes were a little stunned, and the old man grabbed him: "Go over there and say." ”

Maybe when the old man didn't tell his identity, Fang Hao still couldn't believe that the dignified emperor would dress up so shabby.

The person in front of him is his father, the monarch of the Great Apocalypse, and the beloved husband of the Purple Queen.

The emperor found a corner where no one was and sighed: "I can only come out to see you in this dress." ”

Fang Hao was a little excited: "Is what my father said true?" ”

Hearing Fang Hao call Fang Nian like this, he couldn't help but feel a little sad: "He is not your father, I am your father, you are indeed my son, the prince of the Great Apocalypse." ”

"Why? Why did you send me to the Fang family to be raised? Fang Hao asked a question that a child should ask, and this question was also answered thousands of times in the emperor's heart, but when he really wanted to say it, he was extremely choked: "I am incompetent, and I have no ability to let you live in the palace." ”

"In the end, how capable is the queen to control the emperor to the point of giving me away? The emperor is the king of a country, why did he make such a move? Fang Hao was very puzzled.

The emperor looked sad, he trembled and pulled Fang Hao: "I will tell you in the future, I believe that after you listen to it, you will also understand your father's painstaking efforts." It's just that I can't recognize you now, and I can't take you back to the palace. Sooner or later, I will announce to the people of the world that you are my son, so that the whole world will know about your existence. ”

Fang Hao was disdainful, what he wanted to know, the emperor still didn't tell him, he was not rare in the world, but he felt extremely ridiculous and ridiculous about his ignorance for more than 20 years. Maybe there are still many emperors in the world who are threatened, but there are very few emperors who are threatened by their own concubines and can't recognize their sons. I thought that Daqi was a peaceful and prosperous world, but I didn't expect to secretly estimate the power of a woman.

"Child, can you call me my father?" The emperor trembled and shook Fang Hao's hand, but Fang Hao still couldn't scream......

The trumpet sounded again, and it seemed that in winter, the flames of war were about to ignite. It's just that the raging war can't drive away the cold winter, but it has displaced many people.

Fang Hao stood in the hall, and the emperor's eyes showed his father's love and apologies.

After the discussion of a group of ministers, it was finally decided that Fang Xu would lead the troops to the expedition this time, and Fang Hao and Lan Xiaoqiu would follow him, which may be the first time that the three of them worked closely together.

The mighty army drove out of the capital, and the scattered snowflakes spread a cool white veil on the earth.

Fang Hao and Fang Xu were riding on horses, and Lan Xiaoqiu, as a military advisor, sat in the carriage, he had always been a cook before, and he had never made a carriage, and now he was courteously treated as a military advisor by the whole army, Lan Xiaoqiu said that he was under a lot of pressure. She has never been a military advisor, and she doesn't even know what the war is all about, and the only thing she knows is the scene when she travels, which makes Lan Xiaoqiu still remember it vividly.

Looking at Fang Hao on horseback, Lan Xiaoqiu couldn't help but have a happy smile on his face, among the team leaders, Fang Hao inadvertently turned his head, and then met Lan Xiaoqiu's eyes again, those gentle eyes that surprised Fang Hao but couldn't be avoided, which revealed the thoughts and memories of the person in front of him.

Fang Hao silently turned his head and continued to move forward. Lan Xiaoqiu sat in the carriage and couldn't help sneezing because of the cold weather.

It seemed that something was thrown in, Lan Xiaoqiu saw that it was a battle robe, and when she saw Fang Hao galloping past the carriage, she knew that this was what Fang Hao had just thrown to herself.

Covered with a battle robe, Lan Xiaoqiu became even warmer.

In the snowy winter, the soldiers were so cold that their faces were red and their feet were cold, and they were tired from the journey, so they could only sit in the forest, nibbling on dry and hard food.

Lan Xiaoqiu held up the dry food, which was made of corn mixed with white flour, and once it lost its moisture, it was dry and hard, like a stone.

Lan Xiaoqiu took a bite and almost knocked her teeth out.

Seeing the soldiers eating dry and hard heads, just tasteless porridge, Lan Xiaoqiu couldn't bear it, she went to the nearby people's houses to buy some green onions, ginger, garlic, salt, and some chopped carrots and vegetables.

Lan Xiaoqiu put away the dry food of the soldiers, broke the dry food in the pot, added green onions, ginger, garlic, carrots and salt balls into balls, set up a large pot and steamed them and distributed them to the soldiers' bowls.

Fang Xu and Fang Hao were a little stunned, Lan Xiaoqiu explained: "Because my father is a cook, I have studied cooking with him for a few years since I was a child, and then my father thought that I was short and couldn't hold an iron pot and spoon, so he sent me to study.

Fang Xu couldn't help but sigh: "Sure enough, he is a military advisor, he thinks more than others, these simple things, when they are soft together, become delicious." ”

Fang Hao ate the balls, and couldn't help but think of Lan Xiaoqiu, in his heart, the person in front of him could not be compared with Lan Xiaoqiu at all, but Lan Xiaoqiu's cooking skills were excellent, and Su Jiu's cooking skills were also excellent, so that Lan Xiaoqiu's shadow lingered in Fang Hao's heart.

The soldiers ate the hot balls and set off again in high spirits.

Approaching the fortress, Fang Xu stopped and set up camp at the foot of the mountain.

"Further on, there may be ambushes, and we have to find a way to get through them." Fang Xu pointed to the map and said: "It is easy to ambush the enemy here and here, and if sticks and boulders are rolled down from the mountain, our army will definitely suffer heavy casualties, do you think about it, is there any way to pass through smoothly?" ”

Facing a winding path, lined with towering peaks, the terrain was indeed dangerous, and it was no wonder that Fang Xu didn't dare to move forward as soon as he reached the foot of the mountain.

Lan Xiaoqiu thought for a while and asked, "The mountain peak is so dangerous, we can't even see the top when we look up, it seems that this mountain peak is very high?" ”

Fang Xu said: "Yes, it is very high here, it is difficult for us to find them, if they see us marching, I think they will immediately drop stones to attack, except for this mountain road, we have no other way to bypass." ”

Lan Xiaoqiu looked at the ground carefully, it was covered with snow, and it was impossible to run through it quickly in a carriage. Then he looked at the unattainable peak, and if there was a rolling stone coming down from it, the rolling stone would surely smash people to pieces.

Fang Xu sighed: "If you pass this pass, you will go directly to the city." It is easy to defeat them with our troops, and the reason why they have always been invincible over the years is that the mountains here are simply their barriers, no matter how many troops the emperor sends, almost all of them have gone and have not returned, they have already surrendered, and in recent years they have begun to make chaos, and the emperor has no choice but to send troops to exterminate them, the key is whether they can pass through here smoothly. ”

Lan Xiaoqiu asked, "Can't you send troops to climb the mountain to destroy those ambushes?" ”

Fang Xu shook his head and said: "They live here all year round, the snow here is thicker than the average place, and the winter here is also very cold, we have sent soldiers up, but they were all killed because of physical exhaustion." They are not only good at climbing mountains, have stamina and are not afraid of the cold, but also can cut off boulders and mountain trees with local materials.

Lan Xiaoqiu thought for a while and asked, "If you can pass it smoothly, how long will it take to finish this battle?" ”

Fang Xu said with a smile: "If we can pass smoothly, I'm afraid we don't have to fight, we will win, you must know that we have an army of 30,000, they are just a group of bandits, and the total number will not exceed three thousand, but since they occupied this mountain, they have often been enemies of the imperial court, because of this mountain, the imperial court has no choice." ”

Lan Xiaoqiu thought for a while and said, "I have a way. ”

"What's the solution?" Fang Xu's eyes lit up, making Fang Hao, who was on the side, also want to hear the idea of the military advisor.

"The snow on the ground is white, and the profane garments we wear are also white, so if we put the profane garments over our armor and wrap a white cloth around our heads, we will be one color with the snow from afar, so that the enemy will not find us. The reason why we ask whether this battle can be completed in one day is because we have to travel lightly and try not to attract the attention of the enemy, so we cannot ask for our baggage, and we can only leave it outside the mountain. When the time comes to return to the court, we will bring the carriage back. Lan Xiaoqiu said this idea, but it made both of them think deeply.

"What's wrong?" Lan Xiaoqiu came up with this idea because modern soldiers wear camouflage uniforms, which gave birth to the idea of wearing white obscene clothes.

Fang Xu shook his head and said: "Wearing profane clothes outside, that's disrespectful, how can you wear profane clothes outside?" And they have to wear a white cloth on their heads, which is really like wearing linen and filial piety, how can our soldiers curse their parents for dying, no, I don't think any soldier wants to do this. ”

Fang Hao said: "The idea of the military advisor is good, and he may be able to pass it smoothly, but the eldest husband has done something and has not done anything, and the profane clothes are intimate clothes, how can he wear them to show others?" And filial piety is more important than anything else, and this method is inappropriate. ”

Lan Xiaoqiu jumped to her feet in a hurry: "In our hometown, everyone wears a white wedding dress and a white veil to hold a ceremony, is that called filial piety?" You are too feudal, do you really want to sacrifice the lives of your soldiers for the sake of face? You keep saying that you want to be filial, but you can't even go back, how can you be filial? ”

Fang Xu said: "There is no precedent yet. ”

"Precedents are all set by people, and it is precisely because there is no precedent that the enemy will not think of it, don't you know what it means to endure humiliation? If you endure hardship, you will become a master, and your husband can stretch out. Lan Xiaoqiu swore an oath and wanted to convince the two.

Fang Hao said: "If you wear profane clothes, it may be acceptable, but if you wear a white headscarf on your head, I'm afraid it won't work." ”

Lan Xiaoqiu wanted to throw Fang Hao and Fang Xu, the two ancients, into the snow, Lan Xiaoqiu thought for a while and said, "Okay, the general just summons the soldiers to gather, I have my own way to persuade them." ”

Fang Xu and Fang Hao looked at each other, and the two of them couldn't pay attention to Lan Xiaoqiu's bold plan.

Fang Xu summoned all the soldiers, Lan Xiaoqiu explained the form, and many soldiers also knew it, and some of them even said: "In order to drive them away, we didn't want to go back alive." ”

Lan Xiaoqiu shook his head and said, "Don't you want to go back and follow your wife and children to be filial to your parents?" How many parents are looking forward to your expedition at home, is there any glory than winning the battle and returning home to fulfill filial piety? ”

At this time, a soldier said: "If you can win a big battle, of course it will be glorious to go back, and Erni from our village said that if I can go back alive, her father and mother will accept our family's dowry." ”

At this time, the soldiers laughed, and after laughing, they were bitter again, and most people thought that Erni was going to marry another husband.
