The days in winter are inherently short, and the nights in the northern region are even longer. The sky is still completely dark and there is movement outside.The tents were not very soundproof, and Ning Huan had already woken up when he heard the sound.

Mu Jinyu needed a lot of rest because of the heavy injury, and the wound may not be so painful right now, and he slept soundly.

Ning Huan got up from his side.

With warm water on the fire, Ning Huan washed his face and washed his hands, rinsed his mouth with warm water, and couldn't look without a mirror here—look at the current state of affairs.He carried a lot of things with him, almost all of which didn't take up much space, and among them was a half-face mask of a silver hollowed-out crane.The pawn shop in Beijing knew that Ning Huan liked some exquisite things, and would show him every exquisite and interesting thing, and this mask was one of them.

Ning Huan needed to hide his identity when he came to the north this time, and it was not enough to wear men's clothes, his face was too ostentatious.

He came too late last night, and not many people saw him.Ning Huan put on the mask.

Just after he went out, Dongfang turned pale, and Ah Xi also got up, and when he saw Ning Huan, he wanted to salute.Ah Xi also admired Ning Huan. He had never heard of how many Miss Jiao came to such a desolate and difficult place. If Ning Huan did not find the prince in the cave, he would rescue the prince in time, even if they sent a falcon to find him. Most people can't find it.

Axi said: "I'm cooking now, the food in the barracks is a bit poor, please be patient with the Crown Princess."

Ning Huan knew that the meals in the barracks were not as exquisite as the cats raised by the nobles in the capital: "Just call me son in front of people."

Suddenly there was another howl in front, and Ah Xi's face changed, and he said: "Maybe he was bitten by poison again, there are always some messy things here, which look like long insects but don't sting in winter, even in winter." They will come out and bite people when they catch them, two of them were poisoned to death yesterday, it seems that we have to leave quickly and cannot be stationed in this place."

The ground is full of stones and gravel, and there is no grass and it is very barren. It is reasonable to say that there should be no living things in this kind of land and weather.

Ning Huan said: "Go and have a look."

He and Axi walked over, only to see a few soldiers surrounding a person, and the ground had been cut in all directions—a thing that looked like a snake.

The soldier who was bitten - his face was ashen and his little finger was still oozing blood. In the past two days, some soldiers were bitten by this thing, and all of them died of poison after being bitten. He was also very scared.

Ning Huan immediately recognized what this snake-like insect was, its appearance was too conspicuous: "Red-bellied zhi."

He had seen it in ancient books, but hadn't seen it with his own eyes. The ancient books said that this kind of insect was poisonous all over its body, appeared in the Gobi desert, and would sleep under the sand in winter and midsummer.

It looks like a snake, but it is more beautiful than a snake. Its back is as white as jade, and its abdomen is brighter than blood.

Ning Huan helped the wounded soldier squeeze out the poisonous blood, and the military doctor hurried over when he heard the movement.

Ning Huan didn't raise his head: "Have you ever heard of asparagus?"

He also saw the name of this herbal medicine in an ancient book, which can detoxify the poison of the red-bellied zhi.

The military doctor thought for a while: "This kind of grass is very common. People in the surrounding villages may have it. They mow the grass to feed sheep, and there will be a lot of hay in winter. Can this kind of grass detoxify?"

Ning Huan glanced at him: "Haven't you heard of it?"

The military doctor replied truthfully: "I have never heard of it."

Ning Huan thought about it for a while: "Send some soldiers to collect the asparagus from the nearby villages. Does the military doctor know what they look like? Draw them and let them take them away."

"The common people here should know about it." The military doctor explained, "Just ask them."

Ning Huan nodded: "OK."

Although the military doctor didn't know where Ning Huan came from, he recognized Eunuch Xi who was beside His Royal Highness. Eunuch Xi didn't make a low profile gesture in front of other generals in the army, but right now he followed Ning Huan carefully, and looked very serious. respect.He couldn't help asking Axi: "I saw this young master last night, and the young master is—"

Axi explained a few words casually: "A young master who was in trouble just happened to meet our prince, and his highness thought that the prince has some talents, so he stayed with him."

Ning Huan said: "My surname is Bai."

Ning Huan's biological mother was named Bai.

The military doctor cupped his hands: "Master Bai."

He also felt that it was appropriate in his heart - no wonder he was called Mr. Bai, his face was so white, and the wind and sand in the north were so heavy, it was rare to see such a fair and beautiful young master.

Ning Huan said to Ah Xi again: "Most red-bellied ants live in groups, there must be some under the sand here, don't let the soldiers sit on the ground casually, they will come out when they feel warm."

It is also because of the winter that there are less ones that come out. If it is spring when the flowers bloom, you should be able to see densely packed ones.

A Xi nodded: "The servant will let someone arrange it later."

"His Royal Highness!"

Suddenly a voice came from nearby, and the lieutenant soldiers stopped to greet Mu Jinyu when they saw him approaching, and Ning Huan also turned around.

Last night there were faint rumors in the army that His Highness the Crown Prince was seriously injured and was dying. None of the generals saw the Crown Prince’s face, but now everyone saw that the Crown Prince was wearing silver armor and his face was as proud as before. When he came, he was majestic and stable, and he didn't look like he was seriously injured.

When I heard that the Fontaine reinforcements had joined He Shubi, the morale of the army was not stable.Qiongzhou's grain and grass reserves are insufficient, and they will not be able to support it if they continue to stalemate with Fontaine.His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has always taken the lead during this time. If something happens to the Crown Prince, they will be more terrified of the fierce and powerful Fontaines than usual.

Seeing that the prince is safe and sound now, and not as decadent and dispirited after the defeat, everyone seems to have taken a reassurance.

Ning Huan looked up at Mu Jinyu: "It's still early, Your Highness can sleep for a while."

Mu Jinyu also wanted to continue to sleep, but he woke up and touched the side, and was about to continue doing what he did last night, only to find that Ning Huan was gone.He lost sleep in an instant.

Mu Jinyu said: "What happened here?"

Ning Huan stretched out his hand and said, "We'll talk when we go back."

On the way, Axi recounted what happened just now.

Back in the camp, Ning Huan said to Mu Jinyu: "Red-bellied katydids are highly poisonous, we can make it into poisonous juice, and soak the arrows in it before the next battle. The soldiers of Fontaine—if they hit an arrow, they will definitely die."

Mu Jinyu's eyes lit up instantly, and he took out the map: "The place where they fetch water is Wenyi Lake, and the lake is freezing now, and they are digging ice into water at fixed places, we can put poison into the ice .”

Ning Huan said: "His Royal Highness's method is feasible."

If it is - there is no melted water in the lake, even if the poison is thrown into the water, it will not have much effect.Right now they are taking ice, and they just sprinkle the poison on the top layer of the ice they take. The ice melts into water and is drunk by the Fontaine soldiers. Even if the toxicity is much weakened, it will cause a serious illness.

Wenyi Lake is far away from the place where the common people live, ordinary people cannot run so far to get water, let alone people come here during the war.When the water in the lake melts in the warm spring of the coming year, the poison in the upper layer will be diluted by the water.

Axi brought breakfast, cooked wheat rice, the wheat was not cleaned, served in a rough porcelain bowl, and a bowl of clear soup, two pieces of boiled horse meat, both of which were dead Old horse, the meat is dry and woody, with a fishy smell.

Ning Huan had never eaten such rough food since she was so old.

Mu Jinyu knew that Ning Huan was exquisite at home, even after drinking the bird's nest, he was critical that two feathers were not picked clean, and the bowls and plates used for eating had to be plated with gold powder.He was worried that Ning Huan would just overturn the table, and was about to instruct Ah Xi to cook a bowl of white rice porridge, when Ning Huan had already nodded and asked Ah Xi to put it on the table.

Ning Huan only ate boiled wheat rice, because it was so rough that he had to chew for a long time before he could swallow it.Mu Jinyu looked at his gentle appearance as he chewed and swallowed slowly for a long time. On the upper half of his face, he was still wearing a mask. On the mask, a crane was fluttering about, and his pointed chin was alluring.

In the end he couldn't help pinching Ning Huan's chin: "Looks like a little fox. Have you ever seen a fox wearing fox fur all day long? There are white foxes here. They will be caught alone some other day—only to make clothes for you."

Ning Huan raised her eyes.

Mu Jinyu's hands are as strong as iron pliers, even if they are injured, they are so strong: "Gu has wronged you, I thought you had a little flesh on your cheek before, after returning to Beijing, Gu must make it up to you .”

Ning Huan's soft fingertips twirled Mu Jinyu's fingertips. These days, when Mu Jinyu was drawing a bow, archery and riding a horse, her fingers had become a little rougher.Ning Huan's skin was always thin, so when his jaw was uncomfortable, he pushed his hand away: "Your Highness concentrate on eating."

Mu Jinyu—always wanted to find an opportunity to tell Ning Huan that he knew a lot of things, but he always felt that the timing was not good enough.

Ning Huan couldn't eat more than half a bowl of rice, and Mu Jinyu ate the rest. After eating, he suddenly remembered that he was seriously injured. He should have lied to Ning Huan that he couldn't lift his hands and asked Ning Huan to feed him himself. My own, it's too late to think about it now.

After eating, Ning Huan changed his dressing, the wound did not continue to rot, and the healing state was still very good, but this time it was impossible not to leave a scar.Ning Huan - while wrapping the bandage on him - said: "There will be scars here."

Mu Jinyu waited for him to finish and pulled him into his arms, leaned over and pressed Ning Huan's shoulder: "Will you despise him in the future?"

Ning Huan: "What?"

It doesn't grow on me, what do I dislike?

To be honest, Mu Jinyu was really heavy, and Ning Huan's shoulder hurt from the pressure, so he hugged Ning Huan to himself again: "Will it spoil your interest?"

Ning Huan finally understood.

He stepped on Mu Jinyu's foot: "The prince should deal with the current matter first."

Mu Jinyu lifted Ning Huan's mask, kissed him on the cheek, picked him up and threw him on the quilt.

Ning Huan suspected that the effect of Mu Jinyu's drinking Mabotang yesterday hadn't subsided, otherwise why - he wouldn't be afraid of pain at all.

Ning Huan pressed Mu Jinyu's lips with his hand: "It's better to rest and rest, don't move around."

"After I'm alone—"

Ning Huan gritted his teeth, and when Mu Jinyu recovered from his injury, he would definitely beat him up.
