The fifteenth day of the first lunar month has not yet arrived, and it is still extremely cold throughout the Zhao Dynasty.

In this weather, which was so cold that anyone could breathe into ice, following an imperial edict, the 202 generals, five civilian personnel accompanying the army, and four guards of the Western Expedition Army set out from Tokyo.

.

I thought there would be no one to see me off. After all, there was still a snowstorm and it was not a large army traveling. But I didn’t expect that on the way out of Dingjunmen along the Yuhe River, many people were dressed like balls, with their heads and feet covered, not afraid of the severe cold.

An unusually brave farewell along the street. The two hundred or so people were afraid of frostbite while riding, so they all covered their heads and faces, and even the horses were neatly dressed. When they met with the people, they couldn't see each other's faces, so those who represented love and blessings

Sachets and purses, as there were no flowers, so colorful silks and other items were used as substitutes, and they were thrown out equally regardless of who was covering their faces. Although it looked very funny, it seemed to have warmth in the cold wind, which warmed everything.

human heart.

As a second-grade general, Xiao Zhen fell at the end of this small team, facing each other head-to-head with Cheng Ge, the general who rushed to the front. Although he brought four personal guards, he did not enjoy any special privileges during the battle.

, showing that he wants to share the joys and sorrows with the soldiers. Fortunately, he has a martial arts background and also experienced in the army when he was young. Now he is wearing a military uniform and he is also heroic.

Before leaving, he did not say goodbye to Liuli. He originally wanted to escape and calm down with each other, so naturally he could not see that meaningless face again. He felt like he was taking a gamble in his heart, even though he secretly vowed to destroy the bandits.

He wanted to bring peace to the people on the northwest border, but he also wanted to make some achievements and impress Liuli.

He couldn't compete with Xiao Shiyi in terms of appearance, financial resources, and even the charm of a man. But he wanted Liuli to understand that he was not the kind of loser who only wanted to live a good life. The savage blood in Xiao's bones made him win:

A man on the battlefield is a real man. And that is where he wants to beat Xiao Shiyi! He just forgot that his love rival is also named Xiao.

Just as he was about to leave the city, there were few people on the street, but Xiao Zhen suddenly felt strongly that someone was staring at him. He couldn't help but look to the side, and saw a simple two-story tea shop on the street. It was dedicated to serving talents.

People entering the city, or waiting for people leaving the city to settle down. On such a cold day, the window on the second floor was open, and Liuli and her girls Qingdai and Qingning were standing there.

Xiao Zhen was startled, and subconsciously looked away. The next moment, he stepped forward again.

Liuli was wearing a warm fur cloak. She didn't wear a windbag. When she saw him looking over, she didn't say anything in particular. She just stood there calmly, even indifferently. But her two girls each took their things and followed suit.

They looked like ordinary people and were thrown down. They were thrown in the direction of Cheng Ge, who was at the forefront.

Cheng Ge whistled frivolously and jumped up from his horse. He lifted up his hands lightly and took the two purses in his hand. He waved and then put them together in his arms, which caused bursts of dissatisfaction.

Yell.

Although the soldiers had collected a lot of things before, because the weather was so cold, the young girls and young wives on the street all wrapped themselves up like masked men, making it difficult to see clearly. Now the two pretty maids in the teahouse

It’s different, the white and tender face is not covered. One is handsome and the other is stunning. The blessings of these two little beauties were taken away by one person, even their heads, which immediately caused dissatisfaction. What’s more, Cheng Ge is a city official.

He was born as a gate officer, and the others were all frontier soldiers. Who really obeyed him? However, they all knew that a real prince, Long Sun, was behind the battle. Many people had seen the young lady upstairs, who was the future Princess Jin.

, so I could only curse a few times, and there was no chaos.

However, Cheng Ge's winking behavior when he went upstairs was no different from that of a rude and uncivilized soldier. This is how a bear would pounce on honey when it saw it. Therefore, it wouldn't make people think of anything else.

"He really took away both wallets!" In the teahouse, Qing Ning looked at her hands and said blankly.

"You threw it to him. It was obviously to pray for Li Doudou. Of course he had to keep it for Li Doudou." Qingdai said, her face turned a little pale. She was not in good health and was already very afraid of the cold, so she took the risk today.

. And she was weak. If the team hadn't happened to pass under the teahouse and Cheng Ge jumped up from his horse, all her purse would have been dropped in the slush.

It is a custom in the Zhao Dynasty that women, especially unmarried women, give things to the soldiers who go on expeditions to keep them safe. For more sophisticated ones, some ancient characters or prayers representing auspiciousness should be embroidered on those purses and sachets.

Qing Ning was so happy that she said, "We just got engaged yesterday, and today we will protect General Cheng and talk to him. Ouch, let me see, who's eyes are so red, like a rabbit, didn't he wear clothes all night?

, asked someone to send it there early in the morning?"

"Didn't you also ask someone to give Li Doudou some shoes that he made by himself!" Qingdai was not as straightforward as Qing Ning. She hurriedly retorted, her face turned red with embarrassment, and she looked back nervously.

In fact, she doesn't have to be like this. The entire teahouse is covered with glass, and there are all Caogang cronies inside and outside. No outsider will hear anything they shouldn't hear.

"Of course, isn't this your duty as someone else's fiancée? Besides, if General Cheng goes to the northwest, then... it's almost time for him to secretly return to the army, right?" Qing Ning said carelessly, but there was also a hint of worry in her voice.

. She didn't know what Li Doudou was doing. She just listened to the lady's suggestion and probably went deep into the Tatar territory and did a lot of work. How could this not make people worried?

When Liuli heard the words "fiancée's duty", she felt guilty. By chance, the team of more than 200 people reached the last few people. Liuli took out her hand from the warm cloak and faced Xiao Zhen, head-on.

Leave something behind.

Xiao Zhen was disappointed when he saw Liuli didn't respond just now. His heart felt like a big hole. The cold wind blew in and chilled his bones. He never wanted to see that figure again. But after all, he couldn't ignore it completely.

So when I saw something flying towards me out of the corner of my eye, I subconsciously raised my hand to catch it.

The accuracy of Liuli's hand was much better than that of Indigo Green Lemon, so the thing almost really fell into Xiao Zhen's hand. Looking down, he saw that it was an extremely ordinary purse. If it was exquisitely made, based on Xiao Zhen's understanding of Liuli,

He didn't think anything of it yet. But the workmanship of the purse was rough and the stitching was crooked. His heart immediately felt hot. Because he knew it was made by Liuli himself, and the ancient auspicious words were painstakingly embroidered on it, wishing him a safe return.

After all, she still has him in her heart, right?

Xiao Zhen raised his head, suddenly wanting to take another look at the person who was in his heart but was later pulled away from him. But as the team moved forward, he missed the window in the blink of an eye. He immediately turned around on his horse and looked back, only to find out

I didn't see the upstairs, but I saw a carriage parked downstairs. Although there were no badges, logos or decorations on the door, it was gorgeously decorated with noble wood and thick felt, the four tall horses pulling the carriage were extremely handsome, and the carriage was wide.

To the point where it’s almost illegal…

Liuli came to see her off, but it was Xiao Shiyi who brought her here. Are the two of them advancing and retreating together? What does this purse mean? What do they think of him?

The touch, and the little pleasure turned into anger in an instant, and he almost crushed the purse with two fingers. He wanted to throw it to the ground, but Liuli's hard work was almost condensed into that small object, and he couldn't bear to part with it.

It was like holding a cold heart, and he tried hard to cover it with the warmth of his palm.

Following Xiao Zhen's movements, Liuli took half a step closer to the window, and also saw the carriage downstairs, and couldn't help but sigh. She didn't know when he came, and just as she was wondering, she saw someone else in the team turning around.

He also took off his visor to protect him from the cold and smiled at her.

Wen Hongxuan!

Liuli was even more surprised, but because Wen Hongxuan quickly sat upright on the horse and walked away with the team, the face passed by in a flash, and she even wondered if she was dazzled.

What she didn't know was that after Wen Hongxuan, who was in the team, showed his face to her, he put his hand on her chest. There was also an ugly-looking purse there, although he had picked it up. But, who

Saying that the things picked up cannot be blessings? At least, they were made by her own hands. It was nice to be able to see her before going to the battlefield, even though even this little treatment was in someone else's favor.

It's a long way to the west, I hope everything goes well!

On this side, Liuli watched Xi March go out of the city gate and went straight downstairs. As soon as she walked down the steps, she saw the door of the carriage opened in front of her. She hesitated for a moment and whispered to the two girls,

He got on the carriage.

The warmth and sweet aroma rushed into her lungs instantly, causing her anger to drop suddenly. Sitting casually opposite the main seat, surrounded by a soft feeling of comfort, Liuli frowned and asked, "

Why do you need to irritate him?"

"Why do you need to give him hope?"

"I'm not giving him hope. I just... don't want him to leave with an unhappy mood and be distracted outside." Liuli sighed, "No matter how well protected he is, there are always dangers on the battlefield. He is angry.

My son is so tall, so he may not be able to hide in the rear. But... no matter what, I don't want him to get hurt."

"Do you believe that nonsense about throwing purses and praying for blessings? If prayers were effective, no one would die on the battlefield." Xiao Shiyi's voice and the meaning of his words were both cold, but he raised his hand and handed Liuli a cup of heat.

Tea.

The tea soup is golden and slightly steaming, with split red dates floating on it. It smells fragrant and sweet, and looks delicious. And...an ordinary cup of honey tea has a very considerate and gentle feeling.

Liuli took it almost subconsciously and said in a low voice, "That's how people are. When it comes to things they can't control, or things they can't do no matter how hard they try, they place their hope in miracles and God's mercy. At least,

I do have the power of mind. If I still have the power of merit, I might be able to reach the other side of divine power." This is a Taoist saying that most people in Da Zhao believe in. Therefore, God can bully her and torture her, but Xiao Zhen is innocent.

, it would be nice if I could bless him.
