dead in winter

==============

Dao Qing closed his eyes, "Do you have to be so duplicity? Dao Heng"

He looked at Wen Shu, who was still looking restless, and said softly, "That's enough, Your Highness. He has suffered enough injuries. I don't want him to repeat the same mistakes again... besides..."

After hearing Dao Qing's words, Dao Heng put Wen Shu down, straightened the hair sticking to his cheek, and gently held Wen Shu's right hand which was placed beside the bed.

"Hey, Dao Qing, should we trust those people outside?"

Dao Qing looked at Ming Fan and the others in the small courtyard, turned his head, and said coldly, "Believe it or not, we can only believe it, after all... Your Highness needs it"

Dao Heng smiled comprehensibly, hearing what Dao was saying, he pressed Wen Shu's hand to his cheek bitterly, and remained silent for a long time

"General, all the blacksmiths and garment shop owners in the city have brought them here." Lin Qingyu opened the tent and knelt down.

Wen Shuojing responded lightly, stood up from behind the table, walked to the front but turned to look at the young general, thinking, "Are you the descendant of old General Lin?"

"Back to the general, yes." Lin Qingyu raised his head and smiled, full of vigor, and he looked to be around fifteen or sixteen years old. His face was wheat-colored, his complexion was healthy, and his grinning teeth made him look lively and tense

"Old General Lin is the young general's grandfather"

There was a flash of surprise in Mingshu's eyes, and the way he looked at Lin Qingyu became a little different.

Wen Shuojing walked out, and said as he walked, "Old General Lin has trained nearly a dozen tigers all his life, and he is the prosperity of the Jin Dynasty. I think young general Lin will be better than blue in the future..." Wen Shuojing didn't like to praise others , it can be seen how noble Lin Shangwu's character is

Lin Qingyu led the way, smiled honestly, and rubbed his head in embarrassment, "The general is joking, I still have a long way to go. Grandpa always calls me stupid, unsophisticated, and doesn't know how to be flexible. I want to be a grandpa." I am far from qualified for such a person.”

Ming Shu opened his mouth wide, thinking to himself, how dare you say

Wen Shuojing stopped, and Lin Qingyu noticed it and turned his head and asked in puzzlement, "General?"

"Sometimes, it's best not to know anything," Wen Shuojing said softly. He looked at the rising sun, and the warm orange sun was rising slowly, sweeping away all the haze and ushering in a bright new day

The birds are chirping on the branches, the goats are wandering in the mountains, the animals come out to look for food, everything seems so beautiful...

"Let's go" Wen Shuojing turned his head, and the fair handsome face reflected by the sun blended into it, like a fairy who had strayed into the mortal world, with a compassionate expression and a gleam in his eyes

Lin Qingyu didn't know what kind of feeling it was. His chest was astringent, and his full emotions seemed to overflow, like a pot of hot tea. You need to taste it carefully to taste the unique charm.

He nodded blankly, longing for the great mountains and rivers in the future in his mind, and strode forward with brisk steps and a heroic posture

After seeing the blacksmiths gathered together, Wen Shuojing asked each of them to sign and press the sealed document, keeping their mouths tight. Because there are many wild beasts in the mountains, the medicine farmers are all equipped with sophisticated weapons, so There are many blacksmith shops in the town, and now [-] soldiers are stationed in the city, and the rest of the soldiers are stationed outside the town, forming a siege

Wen Shuojing first selected hundreds of highly skilled veterans, equipped them with weapons and new military uniforms in advance, and then stepped up rehearsals, and Dian Huai was in charge of the soldiers' drills

Guo Jingrui took hundreds of young and strong soldiers into the mountains to collect herbs, and did not return until evening. According to the prescription given by Ming Fan, Wen Shuojing ordered him to drink it every day, three times a day, for a total of seven days.

Wen Shuojing stood on a high place, looking at the barracks full of people, and kept silent. Qu Hongqi walked to his side. During the day, he went to Longevity Valley first to arrange some matters

"Yueqing, I have finished everything you said. All the people have been evacuated to other places. The documents were sent there first. The officials there expressed that they would fully cooperate." Qu Hongqi walked up, facing the strong wind, and looked towards the station The figure in Tsing Yi in the middle of the high platform

Mingshu stood aside with his sword in his arms, without raising his eyes, Wen Shuojing looked down at the diet of the soldiers below for a while, and saw that they did as he said, although most of the soldiers had a bitter face, Nauseous by the medicine soup, he retched, but he still swallowed it

Wen Shuojing even saw Dian Huai's painful expression as if being stung by a wasp, his powerful body trembled, which shows how unpalatable this medicinal soup is...

Guo Jingrui on the side ordered his subordinates to drink quickly, with a stern expression on his face, and he held his nose and raised his head to finish the drink in one go. For a moment, the barracks was filled with the strong smell of traditional Chinese medicine and the complaints of the soldiers...

"Ouch, what the hell is this? I've eaten salt for so many years, and I've never had a worse medicinal soup than this. It's even more disgusting than that old horsewhip, vomit," Dian Huai said while covering his mouth with a distorted expression. Mouth

Lin Qingyu was pressed down by Dian Huai's solid shoulders, and he also had a handsome young face. He glanced at the expressions of several lieutenants around him who looked at death like home, and had to drink it quickly with him. The thick bitterness was accompanied by the faint smell The taste permeated between the lips and tongue, leaving a crystal tear in the corner of Lin Qingyu's eyes

"Hurry up," Guo Jingrui said seriously, he looked at the jet-black medicinal soup in his hand, but couldn't help the corners of his eyes twitching, glanced at Wen Shuojing on the high platform, gritted his teeth and drank it

Wen Shuo nodded, turned to Qu Hongqi and said, "General Qu has done a good job. We can start deploying the plan when the spies come back tomorrow."

Qu Hongqi nodded seriously, and didn't care about his cold calling of himself as General Qu.

Looking at the seething barracks below, doubts flashed across his handsome face

"But Yueqing, why do you insist on making the soldiers drink medicinal soup?"

Wen Shuojing walked down the high platform and entered the tent. Naturally, there was an identical bowl of medicinal soup on the table in his tent. Just smelling the smell made him a little nauseous. After Wen Shuojing finished drinking without changing his expression, he ordered the soldiers to go again Get a bowl for Qu Hongqi

"This medicine is only used to strengthen the body, but..." Wen Shuojing took down a military book, took out a letter from it, and handed it to him, "When I was in Beijing in the future, my teacher handed it to me. Just look at it." look"

Qu Hongqi stretched out his big hand in doubt, to get the letter to read by himself, and then his face was shocked, "This... is what the book says true?"

"My teacher's words are never falsified." Wen Shuojing stood up and stood in front of the map. He pointed to a place, "The Huns are here now. The jade city in Qingzhou, the reason why they take jade is because it is rich in jade."

Qu Hongqi frowned, "So what? What does it have to do with the Huns?"

"It seems that your mind is full of worthless waste?" Wen Shuojing paused, and said indifferently, Qu Hongqi stared

"This city was built in the previous dynasty. Because it took a long time, the city is beautiful and famous for being easy to defend and difficult to attack. This is why the first emperor of the Jin Dynasty did not abandon it."

"But... there is another remote and unknown name here"

Qu Hongqi scratched his head, and said urgently, "Don't be tricky, just tell me."

"Gu City" Wen Shuojing turned around and hit this place hard, the thin silver needles were inserted straight into the wooden board behind, penetrating three points into the wood, Wen Shuojing's handsome face was deep, as if covered with a thick layer of cold Frost, living in the warm spring still feels like living in the harsh winter

Ming Shu took the medicinal soup and handed it to Qu Hongqi, expressionless "General Qu, drink it while it's hot" and then passed it forward, almost on his lips, Qu Hongqi smelled the bitterness in his nostrils , pinched his nose, and politely said, "It's cold, I don't have to..." Drink

Before the words finished, the bowl of medicinal soup in front of him had already been boiled by Mingshu's internal force, Qu Hongqi twitched the corner of his mouth and let out a dry laugh

"I drink it, but it's too hot now, can I drink it later?"

Ming Shu pouted, just wanted to talk, but was reprimanded by Wen Shuojing in a low voice

"Ming Shu"

Binglingling's voice was neither high nor low, but it was enough for Mingshu to know how to measure. Seeing him bow his head and admit his mistake, Wen Shuojing didn't pursue it

Mingshu took one step at a time, and after exiting the tent, Qu Hongqi said with lingering fear, "You guard is too arrogant and unreasonable."

Wen Shuojing glanced at him, and said, "The Xiongnu's occupation of Qingzhou this time is not because they are brave and foolhardy, but because they planned well. There is a saint in this Gu city. It is rumored that whoever marries her will get the Gu city." Help"

"The implication is that the Xiongnu married that holy woman?" Qu Hongqi almost spilled the medicine soup brought to his mouth, "Then if we get the full support of Gu Cheng, wouldn't our army be in danger, so that's how it is... "

Looking at the medicinal soup in his hand, Qu Hongqi suddenly realized, and drank it quickly, his bitter face was distorted

"I don't know, take precautions before they happen, and don't take it lightly"

Wen Shuojing couldn't stand his ferocious face, turned his back and said in disgust

"When I came on this trip, I sent someone to investigate, and I can reply tomorrow."

"It's no wonder that group of Xiongnu refused to send troops to attack us." Qu Hongqi wiped the black medicinal soup from his mouth, and said bitterly, "It turned out that they had such wishful thinking, so shameless, and pretended to be soldiers!"

Wen Shuojing didn't reply, the matter has already had some clues, the intention of the Huns must not have come to mind, someone must have taught it secretly, otherwise, as far as the barbarians who fight on horseback every year are concerned, this kind of strategy is absolutely decisive. They didn't come up with it themselves, and Wen Shuojing didn't remind Qu Hongqi

King Jing's movement is too small, and it is not a good thing that the old general Lin's suppression is too smooth, not to mention the remnants of the former dynasty who are watching in the dark. I think of Ji Ying's fierce eyes like a wolf and a tiger in my mind, Wen Shuojing thought for a moment, but still couldn't remember who he was...

Open the camp tent and look at the bright starlight in the sky. Today is a rare sunny day, and the night is also bright. The sky is glowing with a gloomy light like washing the ground. The bright and cold light of the moon shines on the earth, which is as gentle as water

Wen Shuojing suddenly missed that young man more and more. He missed him deeply and never left a piece of armor behind him. The more he missed him, the more he felt that this trip was extremely tormenting. During the day, the woman in the red dress, who was as bright as fire, blushed with embarrassment. Bright cheeks whisper goodbye

Wen Shuojing looked at her, but he assumed Wen Shu's figure, and his breathing couldn't help but be a little heavy. He covered his chest, tightly clenched the flat sachet in his inner pocket, and bowed his head in thought

Now everything is ready, only the east wind is owed
