The cold wind howled outside the tent, and the terrible wind was mixed with the sound of whipping.

After a while, Ge Jiamu came back with a blood-stained whip, and the blood dripped down the tip of the whip and smashed into the carpet.

In the ice and snow, the unkempt Sima Qing lay quietly in the wooden cage, as if he was dead.

A biting cold wind blew, and he moved his fingers, and then suddenly opened his eyes.

In an instant, Sima Qing's eyes lit up like paint, and then he was squinted by the flying night snow.

He stretched out his bloodied hands and groped under him, and in a moment he felt a hard bump.

It was a snow-soaked steamed bun, frozen as hard as a stone.

Sima Qing picked up the steamed bun with difficulty, and then gnawed on the cold wind and snowflakes with broken teeth.

The next few days were sunny, and there was not a single snow on the plains.

The ice and snow melt everywhere, the water ripples, and the waves are sparkling as far as the eye can see, which is very beautiful.

The heavy snow froze to death many weeds and insect eggs, and fertilized and moistened a lot of land.

"Ruixue is a good year, there will be a bumper harvest here in the coming year, and the barns can be expected", the old military doctor looked at the rippling fields and sighed: "If only our grassland also had such fertile land." ”

There is very little land suitable for cultivation on the grassland, and tribes often fight among themselves for land with rich water and grass.

Every winter, the grass is drastically reduced, and if there is no warm area to spend the winter, countless cattle and sheep will freeze to death.

And there are some Qiang people who run to the grassland from time to time to plunder.

Frequent low temperatures, insect plagues, sandstorms, pestilence, and occasional raids.

In recent years, the life of the steppe people has not been easy.

Without Sima Qing's obstruction, coupled with the sunny weather, the next journey of the convoy was unimpeded.

Jumping over the plains, there is an endless stretch of undulating mountain ranges.

When you cross this mountain range, you will see an endless prairie.

The temperature at the foot of the mountain range is high, and even in winter, the vegetation is still green, the water is murmuring, and there are even many white butterflies flying at the foot of the mountain.

Ah Jiu beckoned, and the fluttering white butterfly stopped between his fingers.

With another wave of his hand, the butterflies began to dance around Haoyue, making Haoyue giggle.

The silver finch on Haoyue's shoulder tilted its head, staring at the butterfly flock without blinking, as if it wanted to pick a big and fat butterfly for ration.

The swaggering horse opened the way in front of him, and walked out of an aura of self-respect.

Ge Jiamu's body had fully recovered, and she sat in the carriage, her calves swinging back and forth, and from time to time she whipped the horse with the whip in her hand.

The carriage at the back of the line pulled a wooden cage, and Sima Qing, with his hair scattered, curled up inside.

He was covered in pus-soaked chilblains, rotten and red, and a few flies buzzing around him.

"Buzz~"

Sima Qing impatiently stretched out his hand to catch up, and the flies buzzed away again

Some of the wounds on his body had scabbed, and the brownish-black scabs were slightly upturned, revealing the new pink-white flesh underneath.

The scab was itchy, and he simply tore off the scab.

The brown scab dripping with blood was held in his hand and looked at it repeatedly.

After looking at it for a while, Sima Qing's stomach swelled up with a familiar burning sensation again, and he was so hungry that he panicked.

So he lifted the scab, then tilted his head, opened his mouth and swallowed the scab.

"Hahaha, look at him, he even eats the scars on his body."

The guards pointed at Sima Qing and laughed, as if they had seen something extremely interesting and interesting.

These days, they haven't let Sima Qing eat a full meal.

Every time, the guards waited for Sima Qing to starve to death, and then they mercifully threw in a few gnawed meat bones.

And Sima Qing picked it up and sucked and sucked, gnawed and gnawed.

The light in his eyes was still amazingly bright, and it still fell on Haoyue in front of him from time to time.

"Babble~~"

A huge Haidongqing leaps over the top of the mountain and circles and descends above people's heads.

As soon as the cavalry leader stretched out his hand, Hai Dongqing landed steadily on his arm.

Hai Dongqing had a letterbox tied to his ankle, and the cavalry leader took it down and looked at it, then raised his head and said, "Princess, the royal court has sent someone to answer." ”

Ge Jiamu waved the horsewhip in his hand, then turned his head and asked, "Who is here?" ”

"Back to the princess, it's Badam."

As soon as he heard this name, Ge Jiamu's eyes condensed slightly, a touch of red glow flew on his face, and his phoenix eyes were as tender as water, flowing with a touch of spring.

Seeing Ge Jiamu's appearance, Hao Yue knew in her heart, and then stabbed her with her elbow, and said, "Your fiancé?" ”

Ge Jiamu's little face turned red, and then his phoenix eyebrows raised, and he said with a radiant expression: "Yes, Badamke is the number one warrior of the grassland." ”

"Oh, it's really good, to be able to marry the person you like."

Haoyue patted Ge Jiamu, smiling, very happy for her.

The horses' hooves are kicking and tapping, the mountain road is slowly narrowing, and the field of vision is getting narrower and narrower.

Haoyue looked up, and there was a line of sky above her head, and a rift in front of her, through which the horse team was to pass and then go around to the mountain.

The bottom of the rift valley is overgrown with weeds, and only one person or one horse can pass through the narrowest spots.

The team was forced to split into a thin line, and the horses were to cross the rift one by one.

Due to the heavy snow blocking the mountain, only this road is easy to walk, Shen Yinxing looked at the terrain, his face was a little worried, and immediately stopped his horse.

If there is an ambush here, there is really no escape.

The leader of the cavalry saw Shen Yinxing's concern, and patted his chest with a smile and said: "Don't worry, after crossing this rift valley and climbing over a mountain, you will reach the edge of the royal court tribe, where the most elite troops of the grassland are stationed, no one dares to make trouble here, and the Badam warriors have already brought people to meet them." ”

Shen Yinxing nodded, but still stared around vigilantly.

On the hillside not far away, a bush of grass was shaking irregularly, and the sharp-eyed Shen Yinxing felt that something was wrong, and said, "Son, see if there is anything abnormal nearby." ”

Ah Jiu nodded, then closed his eyes suddenly.

The climate in the valley is warm, the animals are very active, every bird chirping in the branches, every caterpillar lying in the grass nest, is Ah Jiu's eyes.

All the secrets of heaven and earth have nowhere to hide in front of Ah Jiu.

Haoyue jokingly called Ah Jiu a walking monitor.

Soon after, Ah Jiu opened his eyes suddenly.

"Auntie, someone is in ambush." Ah Jiu's words are concise and to the point.

As soon as these words came out, Shen Yinxing and the cavalry leader were instantly alert.

"How many?" Shen Yinxing asked in a low voice.

Ah Jiu: "About a hundred archers." ”

Shen Yinxing: "Directions? ”

Ah Jiu: "The bushes in the heights. ”

When the cavalry leader heard this, he quietly made a few gestures behind his back.

One of the guards behind him saw it and immediately put his finger to his mouth and learned to call a bird.
