From afar, it seems to blend in with the endless grassland.

Tang Yan and Chu Lian were worried, they heard that it was also snowing over there in Tianjinggang, if the snow continued to fall, it would not take two days, and the official road leading to Liangzhou, whether by water or land, would be covered with ice and snow, and then the entire Liangzhou City would become a lonely city, without supplies, and the Tuhun people did not have to deliberately attack, I am afraid that the border army would starve to death in the north for three months.

Tang Yan had already sent someone to Sucheng to inquire about the situation, there was no need to think about the road in the Yueqin Mountains, the heavy snow had already blocked the way, and neither grain nor reinforcements could enter.

One day at the end of November, Chu Lian's foot injury had healed most of the time, and on this day, accompanied by Tang Yan and others, she took a small part of the supplies transported from Shengjing to the border army camp to comfort the soldiers.

The time had already been communicated with He Sanlang, so Chu Lian took the carriage and set off early this morning.

Chu Lian did not go to the front line, but to the reserve barracks, and there was no danger.

At the border army camp before noon, it was still snowing lightly that day, because Chu Lian was holding the queen mother's decree in her hand, and it was General Qian himself who met her.

Because the barracks were full of rugged men, General Qian specially borrowed a team of women's troops from Sima Hui to receive Chu Lian.

The northern border was in the coldest winter, and Chu Lian was wrapped like a ball when he was helped down from the carriage by Wen Lan.

She was covered with a wide squirrel fur coat, holding a hot hand stove in the "hairy" fluffy sleeves on her hands, and most of her small face was covered by a hood, only "exposed" a pair of clear apricot eyes, because the "leg" injury was just healed, so she walked slower than ordinary people, and her awkward posture was a little funny.

When Sima Hui's 'female' adjutant Xiao Yan saw this Hefu's third 'milk' and 'milk', a sneer was pressed to the corner of her mouth.

She disdains her heart, just this stupid appearance, no wonder the handsome He Saburo looks down on her.

I heard that he is still a countryman?

I don't know which nobleman I was asking for to make face, this old lady of Hefu is really well-intentioned.

The 'female' adjutant gave the 'waiter' and 'woman' in military uniforms beside him a 'look', and the leading 'waiter' and 'woman' nodded and hurriedly followed Chu Lian's team.

The first to enter the camp was Captain Guo.

There was Tang Yan next to him, and Chu Lian squatted slightly to Captain Guo and saluted.

Captain Guo looked Chu Lian up and down a few times, and then said happily: "Originally, Zixiang should have come in person today, but he went to the front line yesterday and was not in the camp at this time, so this matter of picking up people fell on the shoulders of the elder brother, and I also ask Lord Tang and my younger siblings to be considerate." ”

Chu Lian shook his head with a smile, "Where is Brother Guo so outside, my husband has just joined the army, these days, I have to thank Brother Guo for taking care of him!"

As he spoke, he asked Wenlan to present a small package of indigo 'color'.

"It's all snacks, please laugh at Brother Guo. ”

Captain Guo had a good impression of the clear-eyed and generous new brother and sister in front of him, took the things given by Chu Lian with both hands, and put them away with a smile.

"Lord Tang and the townsman will rest in these two tents first, and I will go to report to the general. ”

Tang Yan saluted Captain Guo, "There is Captain Guo." ”

Chu Lian was led into the tent on the left by the accompanying 'female' soldiers, and Tang Yan went to another tent because he was a man.

The tent was covered with thick fur and charcoal pots, but it was much warmer than the outside, and although the interior was simply furnished, the items placed were all good.

In the middle of the tent there is a Meilan screen, behind which a simple narrow 'bed' is placed, and two sets of plain clothes are neatly stacked on the small table next to the 'bed', and a pair of deerskin boots are placed on the carpet next to it.

Although the boots are inlaid with iron sheets, you can tell at a glance that they are the shoes worn by the 'women'.

Chu Lian's expression moved slightly, I am afraid that this is the camp tent of General Sima 'female' mentioned in the book.

Chu Lian looked around curiously with a pair of big eyes, it was the first time she had seen the camp tent of the 'female' general, but except for the items placed in the camp tent, which were more 'fine' and warmly furnished, the others were no different from ordinary camp tents, seeing this, I thought of He Changdi again, and I didn't know what his camp tent looked like.

Chu Lian decided that when the business was done, let Captain Guo take him to take a look, after thinking about it like this, I don't know why, I suddenly felt a little joy in my heart.

Wen Qing and Lan who accompanied him were not as relaxed as Chu Lian.

They also looked at the camp tent in front of them like Chu Lian, and asked the master of the Qing Gang to take off the gray squirrel skin coat he was wearing and put it on the wooden chair next to him, and took out the hand stove in Chu Lian's hand and changed it again. When Wen Qing was doing this, he always felt that the 'girl' in military uniform behind him was full of hostility towards his master.

Wen Lan carefully touched her sister uneasily, and asked Qing with her eyes, why are there so many 'women' in the barracks?

Wen Qing shook her head at her, glanced at her hands, and told her not to be distracted, and to do things seriously for the three 'milks' and 'milk'.

Xiao Yan stood aside, her figure was similar to Sima Hui, she was a tall 'woman', but she was thinner than Sima Hui, because she had been polishing in the military camp for a long time, and she had a bit more majesty that ordinary 'women' did not have.

"The subordinates greeted the Jinyi Xiangjun on behalf of the general, presumably the Xiangjun already knew that our general rushed to the front line with most of the right-wing army yesterday, and Captain He was also among them, and today he can only be treated by his subordinates instead of the general to entertain the Xiangjun, and please don't blame the Xiangjun. ”

After Xiao Yan finished speaking, she took the teacup from the hands of the 'waiter' and 'girl' beside her, and held it on the small table in front of Chu Lian with both hands.

When Wen Qing heard the words of the 'female' adjutant in front of him, her eyebrows tightened, and she hurriedly looked at her 'female' master worriedly.

Chu Lian's gaze retracted from the surrounding arrangement, she blinked, looked up at the adjutant who had just spoken, then smiled slightly, and said politely: "General Sima 'female' is polite." ”

Xiao Yan kept staring at the still somewhat immature face of the three 'milks' and 'milk's in front of her, and after listening to her words, she didn't react at all, what does this mean, I didn't see the two maids beside her, whose faces were already heavy and dripping water!

Xiao Yan's face was a little unsightly, she could only pull the corners of her mouth as much as she could, "It's good that the townsman doesn't blame." ”

Chu Lian smiled again, took the hand stove that had been replaced with charcoal from Wen Qing's hand, she looked at Wen Lan beside her, and said softly, "I'm a little thirsty." ”

Wen Lan hurriedly took out a small copper kettle wrapped in a cloth towel from the small package she was carrying, took the porcelain cup, and poured Chu Lian a cup of steaming honey water.

Xiao Yan looked at the actions of the master and servant in front of her, and there was disdain in her eyes, she had lived in Sima's house since she was a child, and she had never seen what kind of brocade clothes and 'jade' food, she could tell at a glance that the maid poured this Jinyi Xiangjun was just ordinary honey water.

She couldn't help but speak: "The townsman may not know that what his subordinates serve to the townsman is the tea fried by Zhengshan small tea cakes, and this tea is often drunk by our generals." ”q
