One hundred taels!

This is a huge amount of money for Xia Shan, not only allowing him to raise a good dog, but also allowing his son to live a good life.

Besides, Qin Shuhuang was the first person to be optimistic about these dogs he raised over the years, and if he didn't let his dogs behave at this time, his son would not be able to inherit this craft!

Xia Shan only thought about it for a moment and simply agreed.

"Thank you for your trust, it's just that the villain has a reluctant request."

Qin Shuhuang raised his eyebrows and let Xia Shan say.

"The villain's son is still young, not suitable for running in the wind and snow, and ask the nobleman to help take care of the villain's son for a few days, and when the villain comes back, he will go to the nobleman to bring the child home."

Qin Shuhuang agreed to come down.

Let Xia Shan do things and help him take care of the children.

Besides, with Xia Dan here, Xia Shan will definitely come back if he can come back, and there is no possibility of escape.

"I will arrange for someone to go with you, this person is strong in martial arts, and I hope you don't have to be selfish."

"The villain doesn't dare."

After explaining the matter, Xia Shan led his son Xia Dan to follow Qin Shuhuang and his party back to the village chief's house to get the silver.

Luda wanted to invite himself to follow Xia Shan, but He Yutian took the lead.

Luda was worried that He Yutian was young and inexperienced, so he persuaded in a low voice: "Yutian, you are still young, let my brother go for this kind of dangerous thing, and you stay in the village to protect His Highness." ”

He Yutian shook his head and said firmly: "Brother Lu, I am already an adult, besides, I am more adapted to the cold than you, and my body is better than you, you have old injuries on your body, it is not a joke to be frozen again, my sister-in-law is still waiting for you to go back in the capital!" ”

As he spoke, he lowered his voice and said in Luda's ear: "Brother Lu, the younger brother has taken a fancy to the Shilan girl next to His Royal Highness, if you don't find a chance to make some contributions, how can you have the face to ask Your Highness to marry, you just let the younger brother go!" ”

Luda listened to He Yutian's words, shook his head helplessly with a smile, and then patted him on the shoulder, "Okay, let you go, it's just that the road is difficult and dangerous, be careful!" ”

"Yes, Brother Lu's advice to the little brother must be remembered!"

So, after returning to the old village chief's house, Qin Shuhuang gave the silver to He Yutian and asked He Yutian to bring his luggage and weapons.

Qin Shuhuang looked Xia Shan up and down, and saw that the cotton jacket on his body was worn and knotted, and there were many patches, so he asked Shilan to take a new winter coat and a three-piece set made of wool for Xia Shan.

And the dagger that he was going to give to Xia Dan before, Qin Shuhuang also gave it to Xia Shan.

The group sent He Yutian and Xia Shan away.

When He Yutian left, Shilan bit her lip and couldn't hold back, rushed to He Yutian, and quickly stuffed him with a purse, and then ran back behind Qin Shuhuang with a blushing face.

He Yutian waved his hand at Qin Shuhuang Shilan.

When he followed Xia Shan home to set up the sled, He Yutian pinched the purse that Shilan gave him.

He knew that inside was a peace charm that Shilan had gone to the Temple of Mercy and Grace to ask for when she left Beijing, and the few pieces of jerky she had left.

His heart was suddenly hot, and in the wind and snow, there was a smile on his young face, as if he didn't feel the cold of the weather at all.

Not long after, two dog-pulled sleds disappeared into the village entrance in the snowstorm.

The whole small mountain village suddenly fell silent, as if it had disappeared into the wind and snow.

Xia Dan was placed in the room where the guards were staying, and he also brought two three-month-old puppies with him.

At dinner in the evening, not only Xia Dan, but also the two milk dogs also got a bowl of porridge.

Liu Renci has decided to eat only one meal a day from tomorrow, so that they can resist for three days, and within three days, hoping that Xia Shan and He Yutian can return safely from the county seat.

The wind and snow seem to be joking with everyone, and two days have passed in a blink of an eye, but the wind and snow have not become smaller.

Their food will only last for one day, and from tomorrow onwards, the team will not even have to drink gruel.

Even Liu Renci, who was the most calm, became flustered.

He walked around the room with his hands behind his back, and the old servant Ah Hai felt the waves of the old man's mood.

After a long time, Liu Renci's eyes suddenly became ruthless, and he said coldly to the old servant in a low voice: "Tomorrow, everyone will wait for another day hungry, if He Yutian and Xia Shan do not come back, this official will order the guards to rob the villagers of food!" ”

Ah Hai didn't want his master's lifelong name to be covered with dirt here, so he persuaded: "Master! You've been a clean official all your life! ”

Liu Renci smiled helplessly, "This official has done what this official can do, and this official is worthy of his heart!" And the official is old, there is not much he can do for the people of Dawu in the future, Her Royal Highness the eldest princess is different, as long as the eldest princess is there, she can bless the thousands of people in Dawu, and the official must not let Her Royal Highness the eldest princess be dusted! ”

Ah Hai heard the old man say this, and knew that the old man had made up his mind, so he no longer persuaded him, he only prayed in his heart, hoping that He Yutian and Xia Shan could come back soon, and not let the old man do something that he would regret for the rest of his life.

Qin Shuhuang was not idle here.

Xie Xuanye stood beside Qin Shuhuang, and as soon as he turned his head, he saw Qin Shuhuang's face that had become thinner.

Originally, Qin Shuhuang was in a well-proportioned figure when he was in the capital, and after a trip to southern Xinjiang and rushing to Beidi, Qin Shuhuang lost more than a little weight.

Especially these days.

The chin is pointed, and there is no flesh left.

Because the food is not nutritious, Rao has a healing plaster, and the chilblains on Qin Shuhuang's hands are not good.

Xie Xuanye clutched the hilt of the long sword at his side tightly.

He said in a low voice: "It's not a way to wait for He Yutian and Xia Shan like this, what if the two of them encounter something on the road or are robbed." We can't let His Highness wait here to die! ”

Ruda nodded, agreeing with what the commander said, as did the pro-soldiers.

Xie Xuanye looked at Qin Shuhuang who was sitting on the side, and clenched his fists, "Your Highness, my subordinates will take some people to try their luck nearby, maybe we can catch a few snow rabbits, we have bows and arrows and other weapons, even if we encounter wolves, we don't worry, if we can catch a few wolves back, it would be good." ”

Qin Shuhuang was about to open his mouth to stop it.

Are the locals stupid enough to stay at home if they can catch their prey in the winter?

When you go out in such weather, your eyes are full of snow, and once you are far away, you may not be able to find the way back, and when you go out, it is equivalent to giving up half your life first!

As soon as Qin Shuhuang was about to speak, he saw Xie Xuanye's resolute and profound eyes.

She clenched her fists hard, she knew that Xie Xuanye had already made up her mind to find food, and he would definitely not watch her starve to death......

Qin Shuhuang took a deep breath and said, "Okay, this palace agrees with you to go, but you must pay attention to safety!" Two hours, whether you find it or not, you have to come back! ”

Xie Xuanye agreed.

He really wanted to take Qin Shuhuang into his arms, but now that his identity has not been confessed, it is not good to do so.

He tried his best to control his crazy growing feelings, glanced at Qin Shuhuang deeply, turned around and left with Luda and the other soldiers, and soon disappeared into the wind and snow.

Qin Shuhuang stood at the gate of the courtyard and stared at Xie Xuanye's back as he disappeared into the wind and snow, his eyes full of worry and gloom.

As soon as Xie Xuanye left, time seemed to slow down.

Only an hour had passed, and Qin Shuhuang couldn't help but get up and look in the direction of the courtyard gate ten times.

Time passed little by little, and no matter how difficult it was, another hour passed.

But there was still no one at the gate of the courtyard, and there was no news......
