Li Huai and the other thirty-three horsemen rode westward, without supplies and foot soldiers, even if the road was closed by heavy snow, the speed was not slow.

In half a day, he left the scope of the capital and entered the western gateway of the capital, Sanchuan County, the first county in the world!

Li Huai raised his hand to signal to stop, turned out the map and thought about it, if they continued to the west, out of Hangu Pass, there are few towns within a hundred miles, and they are estimated to have to stay overnight in the mountains and forest caves.

Isn't that food for the Assassins!

Li Xin came over at this time and asked: "Lord Wang, there is a Taoist temple in front, I have checked, it has been deserted and uninhabited, do you want to rest here for a while, have lunch and then leave?" ”

Li Huai was indifferent, nodded and said, "Let's stay overnight and set off tomorrow." ”

"Overnight?" Yang Dong was dumbfounded, it was still early, and stopping at this time would not delay the trip.

Also, there is no food, and there is not enough money, if you don't arrive at the fiefdom early, I'm afraid you'll starve to death halfway.

She immediately said solemnly: "His Royal Highness Prince Liang, if you don't leave at this moment, if the snow turns into ice at night, I am afraid it will be difficult to go again." ”

Li Huai smiled slightly, "If it's really what you said, then it's a few days late, and then you can leave when the ice melts." ”

"This ...... All right? Yang Dong was speechless for a while, thinking in his heart, Prince Liang's move was too child's play.

No matter what she thought, it was decided.

Li Huai glanced back at the soldiers behind him, it was freezing cold, and after walking for most of the day, everyone must have been cold and hungry.

Food supplements are urgently needed.

Li Huai dismounted and pulled Li Xin aside, and the two argued for a long time, not knowing what to say.

After a while.

Li Huai came back alone and led everyone to the Taoist temple, always feeling that something was missing from the prince.

No one cared.

Enter the Taoist temple.

Although the scale is not large, it has all kinds of organs, and it is useful for the preaching center for practice, a temple dedicated to the three Qings, and a small courtyard.

The desertion was not too long, barely able to live, and everyone gathered branches to build a fire, which instantly warmed up a lot.

Li Huai untied the long sword on his waist, placed it horizontally on his thigh, and also sat with the soldiers to roast the fire.

Only then did Yang Dong notice this long sword, the hilt was as white as jade, shining brightly, luxurious and simple.

Could this be the world's famous sword used by the crown princess?

Why haven't you seen it before?

Yang Dong was stunned, how could such a conspicuous sword be seen for the first time after walking for most of the day? That's because Li Huai hung on his waist before and hid it in a mink trench coat.

"His Royal Highness Prince Liang, where's your mink trench coat?" Yang Dong asked curiously, that should be the only thing he is valuable.

As soon as the words fell.

"Lord Wang, the meat has been bought." Li Xinfeng came in in a hurry, carrying two whole sheep in his hands.

Everyone was stunned for a while, and suddenly it dawned on the prince that the prince had sold the mink fur, and then bought meat for them to eat!

Rumble!

The soldiers' hearts seemed to have been pounded by some heavy object.

"In the past, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was not in line with the public, never used privileges to accumulate wealth, and subsidized the disabled old man Mimian Buang every month, so he did not leave much property to the prince."

"Why didn't I know about this?"

"I also listened to my father, my father once served as a personal guard for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and he saw it with his own eyes."

"Isn't the prince so poor that even when he buys meat, he needs to replace it with a mink fur."

"Without mink fur, what should I do if the prince is frozen?"

"Gou Fugui, don't forget!"

"The prince didn't deceive us!"

"Lord Wang, we don't eat meat, and please redeem the mink fur."

"Lord Wang, let's just eat some pickled wild vegetables."

"You don't need salt."

These five big and three thick gentlemen, their brains are a tendon, and if they exert a little favor, they will be moved.

Li Huai didn't expect them to react so much, so he immediately pulled up his face and said sternly: "This king said that you should be rich and noble with your brothers, and don't forget each other." ”

"This king has a mink coat, but the brothers don't, how warm is this king clothed? This king eats meat, and the brothers eat grass, but how can this king eat it? ”

The prince actually called them lowly soldiers!

It's too poignant.

I want to cry!

"This king has an order! One roasted, one stewed, everyone has to eat meat and drink soup, and they will be dealt with in violation of military law! Li Huai ordered.

Thump!

The thirty soldiers collectively knelt down on one knee and arched their hands: "We will obey the order and swear to follow to the death!" ”

One mink fur, two sheep, and the loyalty of thirty soldiers, this is really a good deal.

The important thing is that if you say it, you must do it.

Otherwise, don't make friends!

Yang Dong couldn't help but glance at Li Huai, hearing that it was better to meet, he could share weal and woe with the soldiers, just this is enough to prove how much the world slanders him.

Li Huai even showed off his cooking skills a little, turning their traditional roasted meat into real barbecue.

That's called an incense!

The soldiers devoured it, their stomachs were full, and their hearts were warm, and they suddenly felt that with His Royal Highness Prince Liang, the future was not dark.

……

Gollum! Gollum!

Li Jirong drank two large bowls of hot tea in his arms, and he was angry when he thought about it, "This kid died yesterday and refused to be sealed, why did he run so fast!" ”

Almost didn't catch up.

Fortunately, Li Huai stopped at the Taoist temple, so he could enter Sanchuan County one step ahead of schedule.

Zhao Liang, the county guard of Sanchuan County, was a famous general who followed Emperor Yu in the past and made a lot of military achievements.

That's why they were able to guard the first county in the world.

Zhao Liang was quite familiar with the princes because of this, picked up the teapot and poured another one for Li Jirong, and asked bluntly: "His Royal Highness the Second Prince came to Sanchuan County, is it a so-called official matter or a private matter?" ”

Li Jirong was not polite to him, and took out the golden order given by Emperor Yu, which was originally intended for him to facilitate the investigation of the prince's death.

However, if he doesn't say it, who knows.

Zhao Liang smiled but did not speak.

"The emperor's grandson will go west to the country, and he must pass through Sanchuan County, and I, who is the second uncle, am afraid that he is inexperienced, so I want to borrow your hand and test him a little." Li Jirong said leisurely, his eyes were full of sinisterness.

Zhao Liang's eyes rolled, this situation is not right, the emperor and grandson went west to the country, this is the emperor's imperial seal and announced to the world.

Why bother?

It's not a business.

It's simply the selfishness of the second prince.

Zhao Liang didn't wait for Li Jirong to tell the conspiracy plan, so he preemptively said: "His Royal Highness the Second Prince is late, and the little girl has already set off. ”

Li Jirong didn't finish speaking, his chest was a little tight, and when he heard his words, he was a little confused, "Lao Zhao, what do you mean?" You said your daughter went to see the emperor's grandson? ”

Zhao Liang smiled and nodded, "It's almost there." ”

Brush!

Li Jirong stood up and pointed at Zhao Liang, "You want your daughter to be Princess Liang, and you will send it over personally!" ”

Zhao Liang's brows darkened, where did he want to go, comforted Li Jirong and sat down, and then explained to him.

"The little girl loves heroes, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is the great hero of the world. Some time ago, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince donated the guest house, and when the news came, the little girl cried until her tears dried. ”

"Now His Royal Highness Prince Wenliang passed through Sanchuan County and stayed in the mountains and wilderness Taoist temple, so he went to ask to see him."

Li Jirong still didn't understand, "So because you worship my eldest brother, you want to marry the emperor's grandson if you love your daughter?" ”

Zhao Liang didn't even want to talk to him anymore, he was too stupid, it was simply too tiring to talk to this kind of person.

"His Royal Highness the Second Prince misunderstood, since the little girl loves heroes, how can she endure the son of heroes...... Stubborn. ”

Syllable!

Li Jirong patted his thigh, and finally suddenly realized, "Your beloved daughter is going to trouble him, this girl is fat enough to dare to find trouble with the prince, isn't she afraid of meat buns and dogs?" ”

Zhao Liang's brows sank, "No way!" ”

Only then did Li Jirong realize that he had lost his words, "Lao Zhao, don't think about it, I didn't mean that, in short, just wait for the good news of your beloved daughter." ”

Zhao Liang was also surprised, the second prince was satisfied? He doesn't say anything about his insidious plans? I'm ready to play Tai Chi with him.

What exactly does Li Jirong want?

As Yang Dong said, the snow is getting heavier and heavier, and the road surface is about to freeze, and Li Huai and others may not be able to walk.

Food suddenly became a problem.

After the chest tightness roasted by the fire, Li Huai went outside to breathe, picked up a branch casually, and scribbled in the snow.

By the way, I wonder how to solve the food problem.

"Troubled mountains and snowy nights, lonely candle strangers!"

Li Huai suddenly heard a woman's voice, raised his head, and didn't know when, there was another woman in front of him.

She wore a trench coat with white velvet, a horsewhip in her hand, frost between her eyebrows, and snow on her head.

"You wrote this?" She asked, gesturing to the words on the snow.

Li Huai looked down and saw that the remnants of the snow in the chaotic mountains had been covered with snow at night, leaving only a lonely stranger.

I don't know when I wrote it.

Subconsciously nodded.

"Good poetry, but it is too bleak, let alone written in the snow." She sighed and raised her head to look at Li Huai.

The white clothes are better than the snow, the person is like a jade, the body is like the sword on his waist, and the loneliness in his eyes cannot be dispersed.

Four-eye articulated.

Words speak louder than words at this point.

Suddenly, a fierce cold wind blew, and Zhao Zhiruo could withdraw her thoughts and lowered her head shyly.

There was still a line of writing on the snow, which was about to be hidden by the snow, and she quickly wrote it down.

"It is difficult to cross the mountain, who is sad and lost; When they meet in Pingshui, they are all guests from other places. ”

Zhao Zhiruo read it aloud a few times, raised her head suspiciously, and asked him, "What is a meeting in Pingshui?" ”

There is no Teng Wang Pavilion in this world, and naturally there is no Teng Wang Pavilion Order, and she doesn't know that the idiom 'Pingshui meets' is normal.

Li Huai explained to her: "Ping is a fluctuating duckweed, which refers to two people who have never met by chance meeting. ”

Zhao Zhiruo praised slightly and said one word, "Wonderful!" ”

Pretty face flushed again.

She completely forgot the meaning of her intention, and asked Li Huai about the snow-covered poems in front of her, and listened to them with great energy.

Li Huai has been shrouded in a depressing atmosphere since he came to this world, and he has not chatted with people so happily for a long time.

And every time she looks at her, her face will be unnaturally red, and the girl's feelings are always poetry.

It's kind of cute.

They were completely unaware that in the pine forest outside the Taoist temple, there were constantly figures shuttling around, all of them hating Li Huai like wild wolves.

Not long.

All of them were in position, and the north wind swept up a thousand layers of snow like a thick fog.

"Action!"

Sou!

Sharp arrows fly.

"It's so beautiful!" Zhao Zhiruo spun around in the wind and snow, stretching out her hands to catch the snowflakes.

The pupils of his eyes suddenly flashed with cold light.

It's a good time!

She barely thought about it, and threw herself directly into Li Huai's arms, she couldn't believe that she would block the arrow for the person she met in Pingshui.

Syllable!

Yang Dong appeared like a ghost, swung his knife to cut off the sharp arrow, and glanced back at Zhao Zhiruo meaningfully.

"Kill!"

When the sneak attack failed, they immediately switched to a strong attack, and dense figures emerged from the pine forest.

The goal is clear, go straight to Li Huai!

"The prince will go first, and I will block them." Yang Dong said in a deep voice, tightly gripping the horse chopping knife in his hand.

"You are His Royal Highness Prince Liang!" Zhao Zhiruo was completely shocked in her beauty, and now she thinks about it carefully.

Except for him, who would write poems outside the Taoist temple on a snowy day!
