Daiyu of the Red Chamber raised a cat

The military situation was urgent, and after secretly collecting the supplies from the underground warehouse of the Qiuxian County Government, Daiyu and the others did not stop much, and then got up and went to the cave in Shanxian County.

Although Qiu County and Shan County are adjacent, there is a distance of seventy to eighty miles between the county seat of Qiu County and the mountainous area where Shidong is located. In addition, the road conditions are not good and the mountain roads are difficult. Even if you ride a horse, it will take about two hours. Kung Fu.Rao Daiyu and Zhou Hang could bear it, but Lin Ruhai couldn't bear it either, so they stopped for a meal and rested for half an hour.

It was evening when they arrived, and after waiting for less than half an hour, a small group of people knocked on the door and followed them in.Lin Ruhai still entered the space, Daiyu and Zhou Hang followed the guidance of Yu Wan to find the warehouse, but the warehouse door was closed tightly, preventing them from entering.This place is different from other places. There are many mysterious formations layered on top of each other in the stone cave. You can't release your consciousness at will, and you can't force your way in. Otherwise, you will be discovered before you have time to install things. Be alert, it will be difficult to obtain supplies.

There is no other way but to wait.

When someone opens a warehouse, go in, pack things and then find a chance to come out.

Considering the unknown waiting time, Zhou Hang suggested advanced space, so that they can see the situation in a small area nearby in the space anyway, and once the warehouse opens, they can also find out in time.What he said made sense, Daiyu nodded, she had no other opinions.

The two entered the space hand in hand, and saw Lin Ruhai sitting on a piece of felt, with his hands in front of him, moving as if he was pulling something.Because his back was facing them, he couldn't see his specific movements clearly.Daiyu yelled, Lin Ruhai turned around and beckoned the two of them to go over.Daiyu walked over quickly, only to see a lot of chess pieces in front of him, but they were not playing chess, but were divided into several piles, and they were still muttering words, as if they were calculating something.

"Daddy, what are you?" she asked.

Lin Ruhai greeted Daiyu and Zhou Hang to sit down, while still frowning and calculating, after a while, he said: "Calculate how long the army's food and grass can last—"

From his expression, Zhou Hang could tell that the situation might not be very optimistic, but, isn't this happening again?

"Have you figured it out, sir?" He asked softly, afraid of interrupting Lin Ruhai's thoughts.

"I'm afraid it won't last ten days..." Lin Ruhai said in a deep voice, "This is not the most difficult part..."

"Daddy, what's the most difficult thing?" Daiyu asked.

"It's November now. Although the snow hasn't fallen yet, winter on the grassland has officially arrived. It's getting colder every day. Prince Jing said that the cotton clothes provided by the court are too thin, and many soldiers have suffered from frostbite. More than half of them They all had severe frostbite on their hands, and some of them could not even hold their weapons. This has greatly affected their combat effectiveness. If there is another heavy snowstorm, the combat effectiveness will be completely lost. The generals in front have written to the court, requesting retreat……"

When saying these words, Lin Ruhai's face almost turned into a real concern.

Once they retreated, it would be tantamount to giving up the achievements of the past half year. After Rongguo recuperates in the coming year, he will definitely make a comeback.The current national strength of the imperial court cannot withstand the consumption of the second war.This is Li Xu's first major decision after he ascended the throne. People all over the country are watching. If it is abandoned halfway, it will not only be a problem of unrest at the border, but the people will also lose confidence in the new court.

Therefore, for the sake of long-term consideration, we must not withdraw our troops!

Now, after a series of new policies, the court has finally settled down, and Lin Ruhai will never allow such turmoil.Putting down the chess pieces in his hand, he beckoned Daiyu and Zhou Hang to come forward and sit face to face with him.

He stared at Daiyu and Zhou Hang very seriously for a long time. @无限好文, all in Jinjiang Literature City

"Come on, let's have a good discussion." He said.

At this moment, he no longer regarded them as children, but regarded them as his equals, like like-minded colleagues in the court.He didn't even think there was anything wrong with Daiyu being a girl participating in such discussions and decisions. She was a good girl, but not an ordinary girl.What's more, the next thing to do requires their joint efforts to have any hope of success.

Lin Ruhai told Daiyu and Zhou Hang that he had discussed seriously with Li Xu before leaving the border town.Sang Sheng has tried to get a lot of cotton clothes to go to the front line, but there is still some gap with the required quantity.As for the few, they are rushing to make them. There are enough female workers to make clothes. He asked Li Xu to find more female workers. What is lacking now is cloth and cotton.

This is what they planned. There is some cotton in the warehouses in Qiu County and Shidong, and they will get it first and send it to the border towns. If there is not enough cotton, Lin Ruhai will go to Shandong to purchase it.Anyway, His Majesty's original plan was to let him go to Shandong to supervise the construction of the river after sending the grain and grass. It was just right, it did not violate the imperial edict, and it also solved the crisis on the front line.

The three of them formulated a complete set of plans in detail, and there are two sets of backup plans to ensure that there will be no mistakes in the whole process.

In the end, Lin Ruhai asked Zhou Hang and Daiyu repeatedly, if they met that masked Taoist again this time, would they be sure of winning, or at least be able to guarantee a safe retreat.What he meant was that although it was important to do things, the most important thing was the safety of Daiyu and Zhou Hang.On the premise of ensuring this, we can do other things.

The two repeatedly emphasized that last time they were able to retreat unscathed, and this time they each advanced to a higher level, their skills greatly increased, and there would be no problems, so Lin Ruhai was relieved.

After the discussion, seeing that there was no movement outside the space, Zhou Hang moved a small kang table and put it on the felt, and said with a smile: "After talking for a long time, I should be thirsty. I see that the watermelon over there is ripe and plump." Tou, why don’t you pick one and eat it.”

Daiyu tilted her head and said, "Is it ripe? Just right, I haven't eaten watermelon for a long time."

So the three went to pick watermelons together.

Although watermelon is not a rare thing, it is a fruit that ripens in summer, and it is only available in this space in winter.There are not many watermelons planted in the space. It is about the size of a small house, but there are thirty or forty big watermelons, almost one by one.Daiyu couldn't help being stunned when she saw it. She hadn't been to this land for a long time, and her impression was still that of palm-sized melon seedlings. It's only been two months, and it's actually green and white.The green leaves are the leaves, and the white ones are watermelons.

"This... this watermelon is so big—" Daiyu reached out to hug it, but she couldn't hold it with her open arms. "It weighs a hundred catties..." She opened her eyes and said.

In fact, she didn't have a very precise concept of how many catties, she only knew that a catty was 16 taels, and most of the watermelons she saw on weekdays weighed more than ten catties, and this watermelon was several times larger than the ones she had seen before. There are one hundred catties.

Zhou Hang smiled and said, "It's definitely not a hundred catties, but fifty catties is about the same."

But if it is so, Daiyu frowned and said: "That can't be finished..."

Zhou Hang stepped forward, stretched out his hand to break off the melon vine, squatted down, picked it up with all his strength, and said with a smile, "Who says you can't finish it?"

Daiyu suddenly realized: "Oh, it's almost enough for Brother Hang to become a giant cat."

Someone holding a watermelon nearly fell over.

"I mean, give Zhuang Zhuang what you can't finish..." he said.

When the tiger heard someone calling its name, it ran over and circled around Zhou Hang.Zhou Hang hugged such a big watermelon that he almost blocked his sight. He had to rely on his senses to walk, and he didn't have the mood to worry about it.It rubbed against Daiyu again, and Daiyu put one arm around the tiger's neck, and stroked the tiger's head with the other hand as she walked, making someone feel jealous again.

When resting after eating watermelon, someone turned into a giant cat and rubbed against Daiyu, begging to hug her neck and pat her head.

Just as Daiyu stretched out her hand to his hairy head, she suddenly sensed a change outside the space, and the door of the warehouse opened.Not caring about comforting the wounded heart of a certain giant cat, she pulled it out of the space, but fortunately the door was still closed, and she slipped in, and the fish balls that had been placed outside before she went in with her.

This time the warehouse was opened to transport a batch of freshly made clothes. Eight people carried four large baskets, put them in and left.Then, the door closed naturally.Only then did Daiyu have the opportunity to inquire about the situation outside the fish balls, and learned an unexpected piece of good news: the masked Taoist is not in the cave.Said that he left half a month ago, and he didn't know where he went.

If the masked Taoist is really not there, it will be more convenient to do things.

Put the fish balls back into the space, and the two released Lin Ruhai, told him about the absence of the masked Taoist, so as not to worry him, and then began to pack things.There are many more rooms here than in the warehouses of the Qiuxian County Government. The two raced against time to pretend, and it still took about half an hour.

Then there is the question of how to get out.

There is a mechanism on the door, but they don't know where it is, and it is not impossible to find it, but it will take some time.If they had to wait for someone to come in and then go out through the door, they would have to wait, and when they saw the empty warehouse, they would definitely know something was wrong.Since it is necessary to alarm people no matter what, and the masked Taoist is not around, why waste unnecessary time.

So Daiyu and Zhou Hang forced their way in.

Just like last time, Zhou Hang turned into a giant cat, smashed through the wall, breathed out fire in the tunnel, and moved forward. Daiyu sat on his back, just like a goddess with a flying tiger as a mount in a fairy tale.Because they were unprepared, this time the guards almost froze on the spot, watching them rush out.

After leaving the cave, Daiyu pinched a very complicated and subtle trick, using the technique of shrinking the ground to an inch, and instantly appeared in the forest ten miles away.

Zhou Hang turned into a human body and supported the weak Daiyu.Although the spell of shrinking the ground to an inch is very convenient, it consumes a lot of energy. In the past, he and Daiyu could teleport ten miles in a teleportation, and it was only about five miles by one person.Today, Daiyu was unable to bear the distance of ten miles alone.Looking at the pale Daiyu, Zhou Hang felt distressed and a little annoyed that she didn't know how to cherish herself.

"Don't do this again!" He frowned.

Daiyu raised her head and smiled slightly: "After I entered the advanced stage, I was full of energy. I thought there would be nothing in ten miles."

"Silly girl..." Zhou Hang patted her head and said.
