Chapter 29: Final Chapter (15)

She understands that the Beiyuan Kingdom is the strongest in the Seven Kingdoms, how can she show her cowardice to the Ye Kingdom at the bottom? Even if there are difficulties, they will never back down, just to the end, and they have all that self-esteem and self-improvement.

As the two spoke, the last rays of afterglow on the horizon were hidden, and thousands of mountains and mountains were shrouded in boundless darkness.

Zheng Quqi noticed that the slightest coldness touched the back of her hand, she glanced down and touched it with her hand, but it was melted snow......

"Yu Wensheng, it's snowing."

She looked up and couldn't see clearly, but she could feel the cold intertwined snow nets surrounding her, and in the distance, under the light of the fire, the snowflakes fell, bringing infinite quiet and beautiful snow to the entire mountain col and forest.

Yu Wensheng pulled Zheng Quqi's hand closer, touched her raised little face, and stroked her cold cheeks with his fingertips: "You can prevent this sharp weapon, but you can prevent snow water?"

"Of course." Zheng Quqi thought that he was wiping the snow water for her, and he didn't care about this posture, but said proudly: "I am an all-in-one armor, seamless splicing, although it looks weird, but its function is extremely powerful, in addition to the basic protection against swords, it is also waterproof and fireproof and anti-dark weapon."

Yu Wensheng tilted his head slightly and said with a smile: "It's really weird, but I don't dare to say it, I'm afraid that you will be unhappy if you say it."

Zheng Quqi was stunned for a moment, and after reacting to what he was talking about, he glared at him: "The only one is called rare and special, and my weird statement is that it is not really strange in your eyes, understand?"

"Yes, it's me who doesn't have vision."

Laugh and laugh, you know laugh, what's so funny?

"There will definitely be a heavy snow tonight, how should the soldiers deal with themselves?" After Zheng Quqi sighed, she remembered the topic they had talked about before, and she said with a straight face: "Since you are sure that the Beiyuan Army will choose to attack even if there are no reinforcements, then what time will they choose? Tonight or when the snow stops?"

"The same is true of the cold we have endured, but I have been prepared, but they are not." Yu Wensheng answered her previous question and the latter question at the same time.

The snow was not terrible, he had expected it and prepared for it, so that whenever they chose to attack, he had a plan to deal with it.

「…… They probably wouldn't dare to venture into the snow tonight, would they?" Zheng Quqi muttered.

"This...... I can't guess."

He took her by the hand and the reins in the other, and went down the slope to take shelter from the wind.

Zheng Quqi followed his long legs with small steps, tilted his head and asked, "What do you mean by not being able to guess?"

He only said, "There are only two hands to prepare for everything, but there is no one plan to go to the end."

After hearing this, Zheng Quqi was silent for a long time.

However, Yu Wensheng saw her distressed and sad appearance, paused for a moment, and asked her silently.

Zheng Quqi confessed: "Actually...... I hope they can wait until dawn before they do it, so that I can deal with the iron horse that is about to lose."

Yu Wensheng bowed his head, and he asked understandingly, "Do you need my help?"

Zheng Quqi's eyes widened suddenly, and he nodded heavily: "Yes."

Special needs.

"Okay, no matter whether the Beiyuan Army mutinies tonight or not, I will make it impossible for them to act."

He said it so surely, as if everything was under his control, although Zheng Quqi complained in his heart, it was undeniable that no matter how pompous he said, she still believed it.

"You help me hold them off all night, and I'll deal with that troublesome iron horse machine for you tomorrow, then I wish us a happy cooperation." She naturally stretched out her little hand.

Yu Wensheng didn't understand this kind of "etiquette", but he still held her other small hand, and then slowly pulled away from the palm of her hand, inserted it between her fingers, and finally interlocked her fingers.

Zheng Quqi looked at him with an incomprehensible look, but he was "innocent" and asked, "Is this kind of cooperation pleasant?"

「…… Don't pretend to be pure for me, it's obviously a bad stomach."

She withdrew her hand from his palm, then grabbed his fingertips and shook them twice, "That's what makes cooperation happy."

And Yu Wensheng just looked at her and smiled, as if no matter what she said or did, he looked happy.

——

Seeing that the snow was getting heavier and heavier, the bonfire that had just been lit gradually went out, and there was no fire lighting, except for the heat source for heating, and the surroundings were even darker.

"Now that the fire is out, can they take shelter from the snow?" Zheng Quqi said to Yu Wensheng.

Yu Wensheng said, "There is no place to hide from the snow here."

"And they...... Standing stiff all night in the snow?" She frowned.

"Or else?" He asked with a smile.

Zheng Quqi knew that the soldiers could not leave their posts without permission, and they couldn't even move without orders from above, let alone hiding from the snow.

"At least keep them warm......

Yu Wensheng flicked his hand, and the snowflakes that had accumulated on Zheng Quqi's head and shoulders were swept away: "With such heavy snow, no fire can not be extinguished."

Zheng Quqi was woken up suddenly, and she clapped her hands: "I have a way."

Zheng Quqi left Yu Wensheng behind, called for a busy meal, re-piled the firewood high, and then pulled out a bamboo tube jar from his waist and poured the black viscous liquid in it on it, and then blew the fire and lit it.

Unlike other bonfires that were extinguished by the wind and snow, it slowly burned a raging fire in such bad weather, instantly illuminating a large area of the surrounding area.

Attracted by the firelight, many soldiers turned their heads to look this way and said in surprise, "This is ...... What's going on?"

They were amazed.

"Why is it that the fire won't be extinguished in such a big snowstorm?"

Yes, such a strong wind, such a heavy snow, but the firewood piled up by the lady will not be extinguished?

Then someone noticed something unusual: "Do you smell something strange in the air?"

Someone arched his nose and sniffed vigorously, "Oh, there is."

"It seems to be...... Fierce fire oil, huh?"

These words were like seeing the clouds through the clouds, and they finally solved their doubts.

"Yes! It must be fierce fire oil, and it can only be burned for a long time by pouring firewood with fierce fire oil."

Yu Wensheng approached Zheng Quqi, under the light of the fire, her hair was fiery red, and her pupils were bright and bright, which was more charming than a flame.

"Where's the Fierce Fire Oil?" He asked.

Zheng Quqi felt the magical power of the flames, and the chill on her body was being driven away by it little by little, she harassed her hands that were red from the cold, and said, "Under the rocks west of Wubao, I formed a team to mine and excavate, and this is the sample that was sent to me not long ago."

Sample? It's a new word.

"But that's all you can do to light this bonfire."

"Yes, I can't illuminate everyone, but watching such a fire not extinguish in the dark night, doesn't it feel like people are much warmer?" She said with a smile.

Yu Wensheng stared at the fire, but he thought about the fierce fire oil in his heart: "Hmm."

When the fire was completely burning, she found an iron pot and put clean snow water in it to boil, and she sat by the fire, and when the water boiled, she called the husband to fetch hot water, and then went to bring warmth to the soldiers.

"It's hard to say anything else, but there's enough hot water tonight."

It doesn't take much, and when it's too cold to stand it, drink a few sips of hot water, which is equivalent to a temporary emergency.

Yu Wensheng didn't say anything about her behavior similar to "doting" soldiers, but just silently connived at her.

Although in his opinion, the garrisons on the border have been training hard all year round, and they have already trained themselves in the face of all kinds of harsh environments, and they will not fall down after a night of cold and snow.

When the soldiers were warmed up by hot water, they were all a little flattered.

"This is the hot water that the lady herself boiled with fierce fire oil......

"In the past, how could we have such a time, when it was hot and cold, we relied on perseverance to survive, but now when I take a sip, not only my body is warm, but even my heart seems to be warm."

"Hey, you kid can talk, talk more, anyway, ma'am

I can't hear your boy's ass."

When the others heard this, they laughed.

"Sure enough, Madame is different from us old men, not only knows how to make weapons, but also is gentle and kind, she is simply the reincarnation of a Bodhisattva, and you will definitely express our gratitude to Madame when you go back."

"yes, yes."

They gave a thousand instructions to the man who came to deliver water.

The guy also smiled and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely bring it, okay, I have to go and send it to the others, go."

The Ye army's side is backed by the slope of the mountain, although the snow cannot be avoided, but the blowing wind can offset it, but the Beiyuan army is miserable, the weather is cold, and it is impossible to make a fire, so it is naturally cold and shivering.

Pu Jiadi would never withdraw his troops, so he thought of a way to let people get into the "iron horse" and take shelter from the wind and snow for the time being.

However, the space in the "Iron Horse" is limited, and it can only accommodate a few people, but this cannot solve the problem of a large number of troops being attacked by the wind and snow, and the rest of the people can only rely on hard shoulders to avoid the wind and snow.

"The snow is so heavy tonight, the Beiyuan Army will definitely not raise troops, right?"

"Who knows, in short, we have to keep an eye on it, and we must not relax."

Sure enough, their concerns were right, in the second half of the night, when people were most likely to doze off, they seemed to hear something, and a team came in the night covered with face covers.

But he didn't want Yu Wensheng to have arrangements at various critical points, and the flaws he specially left behind were actually to lure the enemy deeper, and the vicinity was sprinkled with thistles and spikes, and once someone tried to cross the line through other paths, they would suffer.

Realizing that the other party had already taken precautions, the person who spies in the middle of the night was frightened, turned his head and planned to go back injured, but he didn't want to turn around as if he had seen a living Yama, his face was pale with horror......

The snow fell all night, and everyone spent it in torment, half-asleep and half-awake, constantly praying for the dawn and the snow to stop.

But apparently the sky did not follow people's wishes, and even when it was dawn, the snow on the mountain still showed no signs of stopping, but it turned from heavy snow to light snow.

Zheng Quqi, who was sitting next to a pile of ashes that still had residual warmth, opened his eyes suddenly, and he was still a little distracted.

"Startled, having a nightmare?"

A concerned and soft voice came from the side.

Zheng Quqi turned his head to see that Yu Wensheng was gently rubbing his stiff and sore neck and shoulders.

She had been busy boiling hot water last night, and it was close to dawn that she lost consciousness and squinted for a short time, and she did not know when she fell asleep on his shoulder.

"Uncomfortable?"

"Not really."

Zheng Quqi raised his head and stood up happily: "It's dawn? There really wasn't an enemy attack last night......

Yu Wensheng smiled and said nothing, but did not mention to her what happened last night, only said, "Do whatever you want."

Zheng Quqi also moved his hands and feet, which were numb and stiff in the morning, his eyes were bright, and he smiled and opened a mouthful of white teeth: "Okay, I'll go to the rear camp and wait for me to come back!"

However, without waiting for her return, the war between the two armies resumed without warning, and it was an all-out war without reservation.
