Winter in the northwest is covered with ice for thousands of miles and snow covers everything.

A group of cavalry left Wu'anguan in the west and ran towards the vast grassland covered with thick snow.

The lines of marks left by the horses' hooves in the snow were hidden by the snow in a moment, and there was no trace of anyone's presence at all.

When they arrived at their destination, Xu Minghuai stood on a high mountain with one man and one horse, watching the cavalrymen take off their night clothes and smoothly blend into the soldiers patrolling the border between Daxiong and Dajin.

In about a quarter of an hour, the soldiers who were separated by a hundred feet clashed and faced each other directly at the junction.

Blood soaked the white snow. As the battle continued, soldiers from both sides rushed into the other side's food storage area.

A fire was thrown down, burning several tents and igniting several piles of food and grass that were not related to the war situation.

There were sounds of putting out fires, sounds of fighting, and curses.

The cavalrymen who had blended into the crowd put on their night clothes again under the cover of night and quickly followed Xu Minghuai away from the place of contention.

Over the years, Wu'an County has gone from the initial vague alliance of Hungary and Jin to fight against Dayu, to the subsequent confrontation between the three countries, and now to the current situation where Hungary and Jin are on the same page.

Xu Minghuai actually didn't do much.

From Wu'an Guanxi, Xu Minghuai took advantage of the sleepless night to visit different border cities. Today, he let Dajin's sheep appear in Daxiong's pot. Tomorrow, Daxiong's most favored military officer The prostitute was lying on the bed of the Dajin soldier.

Another example is like today, the two sides are fighting fiercely.

Occasionally when the mood strikes, Xu Minghuai will send a few military advisors to teach the city chiefs how to improve the city's defense strength in advance.

After walking on the grass for dozens of miles, the violent storm and snow made this group of cavalry, who had long been accustomed to the dark night, completely unable to see the way forward.

Lu Qing quickly walked to Xu Minghuai and suggested:

"Xu Xiaowei, my subordinates have been here before on patrol. There is a cave three miles ahead. There are dry food stored by my subordinates in the cave. How about we go there first to make some repairs and wait until the wind and snow stop?" , let’s go back to the city.”

Xu Minghuai tightened the reins, and his blood-tempered eyes looked at Lu Qing with a scrutinizing gaze through the thick snowstorm.

As the wind and snow got worse, Xu Minghuai said in a majestic voice: "Lead the way."

The horses stepped on the flying snow, and the group entered the cave together.

Lu Qing fumbled to light the firewood, took out the dry firewood hidden in the corner, and lit the firewood with the help of dry grass.

After washing the iron basin stained with black ash with snow water, Lu Qing filled a large bag full of white snow and set it on the stove to burn.

After the water boiled, he took out a pack of mutton jerky from the corner and put it into the boiling water. The meat was so fragrant that these soldiers, who had not eaten meat for a long time, couldn't help but swallow their saliva.

Xu Minghuai looked sideways at the man sitting at the entrance of the cave, who was much shorter than the others, and arranged:

"I don't know when the wind and snow will stop. This little meat won't last long. Xiao Shu, go outside and set a few more traps to see if you can catch snow chickens and snow rabbits."

Facing Xu Minghuai's orders, Zhou Shu always obeyed subconsciously.

He stood up from the mud, picked up a few thin dry firewood, and walked towards the entrance of the cave.

Lu Qing quickly took out the cracked porcelain bowl and filled half a bowl of mutton soup: "Xiao Shu, why don't you eat something first before you go?"

"No need." His voice was dry and hard, no less harsh than the cold wind.

Facing his comrades who lived together day and night and shared life and death, Zhou Shuduo gave an explanation: "I can't eat mutton."

Zhou Shu could not even smell the mutton soup, so even though it was freezing cold at the entrance of the cave, Zhou Shu did not sit by the fire.

Lu Qing touched his head and said with an honest smile: "Look at me, I forgot that you don't eat mutton."

"I eat, I eat."

The porcelain bowl was taken away by the soldiers beside him. Lu Qing saw that the dried meat in the pot had been boiled, and then filled the mutton soup one by one and handed it to everyone.

After drinking the warm mutton soup and being roasted by the firelight, the soldiers in the cave soon fell asleep.

Lu Qing bent down and took off the cloak covering his chest for everyone. When he finally walked to Xu Minghuai's side, he tentatively placed a hand on the tie of Xu Minghuai's cloak.

The person who used to be extremely cautious and cautious in the past did not show any resistance this time.

The sword blade from his sleeve was drawn out and stabbed straight into Xu Minghuai's chest.

The sleeping man suddenly grasped the silver gun, and the barrel of the gun fell on the crook of Lu Qing's leg, knocking the unsuspecting man to the ground.

His eyes were confused, but that didn't stop Xu Minghuai from reacting quickly and kicking Lu Qing into the snow.

The tip of the spear fell on Lu Qing's neck, staining it bright red. Xu Minghuai scolded and asked: "Who sent you here?"

"Xu Minghuai, that firewood was also laced with medicine. You will die today."

As Lu Qing said these words, two sharp blades cut through the wind and snow and struck Xu Minghuai from behind.

Without dodging, Xu Minghuai's spear tip directly pierced Lu Qing's neck. He held the silver spear in his backhand and kicked the two men who were attacking him.

There were less than twenty people in the assault team, and three traitors who wanted his life appeared so quickly.

It seems that the person behind this is a little anxious now. He must die in this ice and snow today without being noticed.

The sword blade and the silver gun collided with each other. After a few back and forth, Xu Minglang eliminated the other two people.

The drug was so powerful that Xu Minghuai also had two deep wounds on his arms.

There were more figures rising up faintly in the cave. Xu Minghuai's hand fell on the dagger that Lu Qing placed on the ground, and he lay on the snow pretending to be dead.

The soldiers who came out of the cave looked at the three recently deceased people. Thinking of Xu Minghuai's fighting prowess, without confirming whether Xu Minghuai was still alive, he directly drew out his sword and stabbed Xu Minghuai in the chest.

His physical strength and sanity were taken away by the drugs. Xu Minghuai tried his best to turn over from the snow, and the dagger pierced the soldier's back.

Xu Minghuai relied on his last breath of strength to grab the dead tree covered with snow with both hands, and stabbed the dagger completely into the chest of the soldier with his chest.

After several struggles, the person beneath him lost all resistance, and Xu Minghuai turned over and fell to the ground.

Putting his trembling hands into his chest, Xu Minghuai tightly held the peace charm that his mother had prayed for him.

Closing his eyes in a daze, Xu Minghuai smiled faintly:

"Aniang, Yaoyao, don't worry, I'll go home after a while."

Zhou Shu, who was holding three rabbits in his hand, saw the red-tasseled spear standing in the heavy snow from a long distance, blown by the north wind.

His heart stopped and the rabbit he had already taken care of was thrown to the ground. Zhou Shu ran straight to Xu Minghuai who was lying next to the red tassel gun.

Tears fell for no apparent reason. Zhou Shu hugged Xu Minghuai into his arms. He first checked his breathing and pulse, and only after confirming that Xu Minghuai was still alive, he was distracted and noticed the soldiers dead in the snow.

Everyone in the cave was still sleeping, and Zhou Shu estimated his combat effectiveness while Xu Minghuai was in coma.

The sword blade in his hand was unsheathed. When Zhou Shu came out of the cave again, blood dripped down the blade in his hand, and was collected and covered by white snow.

And Zhou Shu's cheeks, which had been chapped by the wind and snow, were now stained with a familiar bright red.

Between his comrades who used to get along day and night and Xu Minghuai, Zhou Shu could only choose Xu Minghuai.
