Difficulty in deciphering

Chapter 11: The Extremely Cold Region

Zhao Minghe and his party headed north after leaving the imperial city.Lin Jieyu silently followed the team without saying a word.Seeing her pale face, Wei Qing, the lieutenant beside him, thought she was afraid of the expedition, and wanted to comfort her a few words, but unexpectedly she ignored his comfort at all, so he consciously kept silent.

In the dead silence, the team of protecting the country left the middle city full of mansions in the capital, passed through the outer city full of bustling people, and finally got away from the pure land at the foot of the emperor.

At night, in order to ensure the strength of the horses and personnel, Zhao Minghe decided to camp and rest.After Zhao Minghe's [-] elite men received the order, they immediately set up well-trained tents and stood by for orders.

"Minghe, according to this progress, how long will it take us to reach the extreme northern cold region?" Wei Qing lit a bonfire outside the tent, and gathered several main officials sent by the court here.

"One month." Zhao Minghe replied quickly.

"One month is too long." Lin Jieyu, who was originally silent, finally said at this time. "If His Majesty's illness drags on for two months, it will be dangerous...we must hurry up."

"Your Majesty can take medicine for a while, and he won't die so quickly." Zhao Minghe didn't care.

"The general said that as long as your majesty is not dead, it has nothing to do with us even if life is worse than death." Lin Jieyu said coldly.

"Xie Yu, I always thought that since I said goodbye to you last time, you have become dumb." Zhao Minghe laughed. "I didn't expect to be able to talk."

"General Zhao, I'm not familiar with you enough to call you by your first name." Lin Jieyu said with cold eyes, picked up a branch beside him and threw it into the flames in front of him.

"It turns out that Minghe met Mr. Xie before." Seeing the way the two get along, Wei Qing suddenly realized.

"I've seen it before. It's like a life-and-death relationship." Zhao Minghe handed the roasted game to Lin Jieyu. "dont you agree?"

"Thank you, General." Lin Jieyu didn't answer Zhao Minghe's words, but just took the wild game that Zhao Minghe handed over and began to eat.

Zhao Minghe raised his brows and squinted at Lin Jieyu from the corners of his eyes, feeling that this woman is a bit of a city.Even if he can't understand himself, he can still eat the food he handed him.

"Xieyu, you said that since our friendship is so deep, why do you still care about addressing me so much? Look at Xiaoqing, doesn't he also call me Minghe?" Seeing that Lin Jieyu was silent again, Zhao Minghe teased road.

"General..." Wei Qing shuddered when he heard Zhao Minghe call himself Xiaoqing, but he didn't remember Zhao Minghe calling himself that.

"Huh? What?" Zhao Minghe said casually while tearing the pheasant meat in his hand into small strips.

"You'd better call me Wei Qing." Wei Qing said awkwardly.

"It's the general and you again so soon... Xiaoqing, have you learned from Xie Yu?" Zhao Minghe replied, and handed Lin Jieyu the grilled chicken that was torn into small strips.

"What do you mean, General?" Lin Jieyu asked, looking at the meat in front of him.

"Seeing that you have a small mouth and eat slowly, I tore it up for you." Zhao Minghe smiled, his eyes bent into the shape of crescent moons. "Is this general considerate?"

After saying this, everyone saw that Lin Jieyu's originally stretched eyebrows frowned. She stood up, flicked her sleeves, smashed the roast chicken into Zhao Minghe's arms, turned and left.

"He has a bad temper." Zhao Minghe suppressed his smile, took out the greasy roast chicken from his bosom, and took a bite.

"I really don't understand how you can still eat when you are going to die." Taiwei Liu, who had been sitting by the side without saying a word, sighed gloomily when he saw that these people were still bickering.

"Minghe doesn't know if he is going to die." Zhao Minghe smiled at Taiwei Liu and said. "But Minghe knows one thing."

"What?" Liu Taiwei said.

"Taiwei, you are going to die." Zhao Minghe said meaninglessly.

"you you!"

"Me? I...!" Zhao Minghe answered. "It's very full."

"Zhao Minghe...you...you are so naughty!" Taiwei Liu, who could not eat at first, finally lost his appetite after hearing what Zhao Minghe said, and he stood up angrily and went into the tent.

"General... it's just the two of us left." Wei Qing finally whispered when she saw that she had already left the two of them in anger.

"That's right, Xiaoqing, don't you think our place has become much more spacious in an instant?" Zhao Minghe didn't feel uncomfortable, he just said indifferently.

"..." The moment Wei Qing heard this address, he also wanted to leave, but after following Zhao Minghe for so many years, he finally managed to resist the strong urge to stand up...

But all the soldiers under Zhao Minghe have gotten used to one thing, that is, there are always two tents in Zhao Minghe's main camp.One lives for Zhao Minghe, and the other lives for other lieutenants.If it weren't for the distinction of tents, they would have almost forgotten that their General Zhao was actually a woman.

Tonight is no exception, there are still two main tents.

Lin Jieyu, Zhao Minghe lived in one, Wei Qing and Liu Qi lived in one.

In the middle of the night, Zhao Minghe finally decided to go back to the tent to rest, but he did not see Lin Jieyu after raising the curtain.After thinking about it for a while, she finally decided to find someone outside the tent.

Zhao Minghe looked up at the sky while wandering casually.

The moon tonight is not covered by clouds, although it is a dark moon, it is too bright.

Just walking like this, Zhao Minghe walked out of the camp, but saw a bunch of lonely bonfires burning in the distance of the tent.

Lin Jieyu was sitting by the campfire.

Zhao Minghe stopped in his tracks and looked at her from afar.

I saw the woman holding a stick with a pheasant in her hand and roasting it on the fire.It turned out that she didn't leave just now in a fit of anger, but went hunting game herself.Of course, Zhao Minghe thought, this woman's hunting game must be much easier than ordinary people, because animals like to get close to her, so maybe she will be caught voluntarily.

Lin Jieyu didn't seem to know that Zhao Minghe was watching him from a distance.

Or she knew it, but didn't care, and still ate the meat in small bites.

Zhao Minghe watched with great interest as Lin Jieyu ate a whole roast chicken, and finally rushed back when Lin Jieyu got up to go back to the tent.She combined the quilts that the two of them were going to sleep on, and lay down on it in a large size, closing her eyes and taking a nap.

After a while, Lin Jieyu returned to the account, saw Zhao Minghe sleeping on it with such a dignified face, glanced at her indifferently, and went out again.

Just when Zhao Minghe was wondering if Lin Jieyu would sit outside all night, the curtain was raised again.After Zhao Minghe heard Lin Jieyu searching the room for a while, he became silent again.Strong curiosity forced Zhao Minghe to secretly open his eyes, and saw Lin Jieyu tied a rope across the tent, and she was sleeping peacefully on the rope at the moment.

The moonlight shone in through the small window in the tent, covering the light shadow with a silver glow, making it seem unreachable.

"Jie Yu..." Zhao Minghe called her in a low voice.

Lin Jieyu didn't answer.

"Xie Yu, come down to sleep?" Zhao Minghe laughed. "The general will hold you to sleep."

Finally, Lin Jieyu responded this time.Zhao Minghe only felt that his head was hit by a stone, so he shut up and went to sleep.

In the early morning of the second day, Lin Jieyu, Zhao Minghe, and Wei Qing all rode into the carriage refreshed. Only Liu Taiwei hid in the carriage gloomyly, as if he was even more haggard than yesterday.

A group of people ran around like this, and finally, a month later, they saw the highest snow-capped mountain peak in the extreme northern cold region on the edge of a small mountain village.

"It's finally here." Lin Jieyu looked at the snow-capped mountains and said calmly, a smile finally appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Just as Zhao Minghe was about to turn around and say something, he happened to see Lin Jieyu smiling as the ice and snow melted, and instantly forgot what he wanted to say.Fortunately, Lin Jieyu didn't look at her either, so Huangshen was fooled.

Three days later, the escort team arrived at the foot of the snow-capped mountain, and they could enter the mountain today.Everything was safe at first, but the night before the army was about to enter the mountain, the leading horse neighed and broke free from the reins that bound him, and galloped away with the remaining two horses.

By the time Lin Jieyu and others heard the noise and chased them out from the tent, the three thousand-mile horses had already run away without a trace.

"They sensed the breath of the dragon, so they ran away in fear?" Zhao Minghe looked at the broken rein and murmured.

"There is one more." Lin Jieyu said.

"It's because...the horse-drawn carriage and captain are tied to the front, so it can't run?" Zhao Minghe followed Lin Jieyu's gaze and smiled.

Hearing what Zhao Minghe said, Taiwei Liu was about to refute, but Lin Jieyu replied in agreement, "Maybe." Finally he shut up.

So the next morning, the other three also got into Liu Taiwei's carriage.Liu Taiwei was already flustered, but when he saw these three people came in, he immediately felt relieved.

The carriage traveled in the snow-capped mountains for four days without a break, and the people in the carriage, except Zhao Minghe, had reached their limits.Leaving Taiwei and Wei Qing aside, Zhao Minghe saw that although Lin Jieyu was tired, he still stubbornly opened his eyes and refused to close them for a while.

"Xie Yu, sleep for a while when you're tired." Seeing her appearance, Zhao Minghe finally said softly.

"I'm afraid the dragon will appear suddenly." Lin Jieyu said.

"I'm guarding it." Zhao Minghe said softly.

"You are not made of iron." Lin Jieyu glanced at her sideways and said. "It must be exhausting."

"Then you sleep for a while, and when you wake up, I will sleep with you." Zhao Minghe smiled. "how?"

"En." Hearing what Zhao Minghe said, Lin Jieyu nodded slightly and ordered. "I'll just sleep for a while. If the dragon appears, it must wake me up."

Zhao Minghe nodded, but saw that Lin Jieyu had already fallen asleep.The woman leaned her head on the carriage subconsciously, and lightly hit the wall with her head as the carriage bumped.

"You... really don't like me." Zhao Minghe just looked at it for a while, and finally stretched out his hand to wrap Lin Jieyu's head on his shoulder.

In her sleep, Lin Jieyu only felt that she was enveloped by a layer of stable aura. She vaguely felt that this aura was very familiar, but she couldn't remember where she had touched it.

Lin Jieyu slept very deeply this time, and when she woke up, the sky was already full of stars.Zhao Minghe still sat upright by her side, but closed his eyes.Zhao Minghe also looked sleepy, Lin Jieyu thought, she must not know when she fell asleep.

"Are you... awake?" Feeling Lin Jieyu's weight leaving his body, Zhao Minghe opened his eyes.

"Why didn't you call me?" Lin Jieyu said coldly.

"The giant dragon didn't appear again." Zhao Minghe laughed.

"..." Not knowing what Zhao Minghe was thinking, Lin Jieyu simply ignored her.

"We have marched into the extreme northern cold region for another day." Zhao Minghe said. "Last night, I asked Wei Qing and 50 people to stand outside the mountain to meet us."

"Did I sleep for a day and a night?" Lin Jieyu frowned, she had never slept for so long.

"Almost." Zhao Minghe said.

"Your shoulders..."

"You don't weigh much." Zhao Minghe stretched his shoulders and said with a smile. "It's just a little numb."

"It's better to send Wei Qing to guard." Lin Jieyu said, and then asked again. "Why didn't you leave Taiwei Liu there? He's already old, I'm afraid he won't be able to move when he sees the dragon."

"How can you kill him if you stay there?" Zhao Minghe said disapprovingly. "Of course he volunteered to stay, but in this dragon slaying operation, he will eventually obey me."

"You want to kill him?" Lin Jieyu narrowed his eyes slightly, his breath was dangerous.

"I wanted to kill him a long time ago." Zhao Minghe said, not caring about Lin Jieyu's murderous intent. "He colluded with the old man Kuang Yin, and his ambitions are not small. Presumably His Majesty sent him, and also intended to get rid of him. How can I not help His Majesty?"

"Your ambition is low again?" Lin Jieyu sneered.

"Minghe's heart can be learned from the sun and the moon." Zhao Minghe also laughed. "There is no courtier who is more sincere to His Majesty than me."

"No more...?" Hearing the second half of Zhao Minghe's sentence, Lin Jieyu's breath became colder. "Where did you take me?"

"Ah, I forgot. Your Majesty's loyal minister is here." Zhao Minghe smiled, stretched out his hand to lift Lin Jieyu's chin and said. "Minghe naturally dare not compare."

Lin Jieyu knocked off the hand pinching his chin with one hand, and imitated what Zhao Minghe did just now, lifted Zhao Minghe's chin, and looked at her.

Hearing her cold voice, Zhao Minghe said to himself word by word.

"You and I are naturally incomparable."
