When they came, Ding Kui and the others arrived at Weiguo County in the morning; when they left, it was in the afternoon, catching up with the hottest time of the day.

The wedding team returned in no hurry, but as evening approached, everyone almost drank all the water in their water bottles.
Ao Yu suddenly turned sideways and patted Ding Kui. Ding Kui looked at him with doubtful eyes. He didn't say anything and only pursed his lips.
At this time, Ding Xiao's voice came from the carriage behind him, "Master, please come over here."
Ding Kui rode up to the carriage and asked, "What's the matter?"
Ding Xiao poked his head out of the car window and whispered: "If the young lady is thirsty and has finished drinking all the water in the car, do you have any left?"
"Yes." Ding Kui, who was pregnant with Bingyu, was not hot at all, and his water bag was almost full. He took the water bag off the horse and was about to throw it to Ding Xiao.
"Wait!" Long Tan shouted from behind.
Ding Kui looked sideways, confused.
"You can't give your sister a drink from your water bag at this time." Long Tan also came to the carriage.
"Why?" Ding Kui asked in surprise.
"She can't have any contact with you before entering the bridal chamber, not even to drink the water you drank!" Long Tan said righteously.
"Is there any mistake? Now she is thirsty, where can I find water that no one has drunk before and give it to her?" Ding Kui was confused. He didn't expect the rules to be so strict.
"We can reach the city ahead in more than an hour's walk. Just let her be thirsty for a while. She won't die."
In other words, if Long Tan dared to speak like this, Ding Kui would slap him away. Even though he was a little reluctant, Long Yan was Ding Kui's woman after all.
"If she is not allowed to die until she is thirsty, what if something goes wrong?" Ding Kui was still unwilling.
"No, you can't say anything. If our family sends us to follow, we have the responsibility of supervision. Now my sister is still a member of the Long family and is under my control." Longtan Youyan couldn't get in.
Before the bride is sent to the groom's house, this section of the road can be regarded as both a member of the bride's family and a member of the groom's family. Long Tan insists that it is not wrong to say so.
"Okay, okay, it's up to you!" Ding Kui had no choice but to say, "Let Madam Ru hold on. Xiaozhong, speed up." He had no choice but to rush to the next city as soon as possible.
Ding Xiao said to Long Yan with an apologetic look: "Madam, you are a little tired. There is no water for you to drink now. You have to rush to a resting place to get one."
The bride under the hood could hear the conversation outside the carriage. She said calmly: "I'm not that delicate yet, just wait. When the rain comes, give me a handkerchief. This dress is too hot."
Before Yugui could make any move, Biya who was next to her stuffed the towel she had prepared into Long Yan's hand.
With a depressed look on his face, Ding Kui came back to the middle of the team, glanced at Ao Yu, and suddenly stretched out a hand and said, "Give me your two pieces of ice jade."
"Why should I give it to you like this? That's a good thing!" Ao Yu rolled his eyes and pronounced the word "good" very seriously.
Ice jade is indeed something that money cannot buy, and it is not that easy to get it from the dragon.
Ding Kui hesitated for a while, gritted his teeth and said: "Ice jade is of no use to you at all, it is better to give it to someone who is useful. So, I promise to help you find fire jade, and I will definitely give you two in the future.
A piece of fire jade equals the number."
Ao Yu tilted his head and thought for a while, "Okay, since you always keep your word, I will give you the ice jade first, and you need to find the fire jade for me as soon as possible." He combed his hair with his hands. , he took out two pieces of ice jade and flicked them to Ding Kui with his fingers.
The dragon clan's method of refining and using space rings is different from that of humans. Qian You was not far from Ao Yu but did not appear at all.
"I will definitely do what I said." Ding Kui turned back to the carriage and said, "Xiaohua!"
Ding Fen opened the carriage door and got out of the carriage, asking: "Young master, what's the matter?"
Ding Kui waved his hand and threw a piece of ice jade, and Ding Fen caught it with a backhand.
"Give it to Madam." Then Ding Kui said to Long Yan through the car window, "Mr. Long, this piece of ice jade is a rare thing in the world. Please keep it properly and keep it close to you. I will inform you of its detailed functions in the future. , you will know one of its characteristics after a while.”
Yu Gui held Long Yan down and whispered, "Xiao, madam, you can't answer him."
Long Yan nodded.
Ding Xiao quickly responded: "Madam, I understand."
Ding Kui currently has no other wives and concubines, and during the wedding period, he can call Long Yan casually, and does not need to strictly follow the concubine's identity.
Ding Fen got back into the carriage and put the ice jade into Long Yan's palm.
A chill spread down his arm. After Long Yan held it for a while, his whole arm felt much refreshed and he didn't feel hot at all.
"Ah, what a magical thing." Long Yan couldn't help but admire and thought to herself: He is so considerate. He knows that I wear a lot of clothes, it is very hot in this weather, and it is also the reason why I drink so much water. Now he gives it to me. Such a good treasure must be a very caring person.
She quickly stuffed the ice jade into the private part of her arms.
Such a big commotion naturally caught the eye of Long Tan. He came to Ding Kui's side and said flatteringly: "My generous brother-in-law, I really don't have anything to say to our girl. Is there anything good I can give you?" Will my brother-in-law come too?"
After hearing this, Lu Ying, who was not far away, curled his lips and said, "Humph, I have never seen such a greedy and shameless person. I didn't even give you that thing, so you still want it?"
"Did you hear that? My junior sister is very right. She doesn't have anything like my biological sister. You have the nerve to ask me for it. However, there is nothing you can do if you want it. As long as you give me ten pieces of fire jade, I will I'll find a way to get one for you." Ding Kui did not reject Long Tan immediately.
"Fire jade! I've heard of that thing. You have it in Pingzhong County, but only powerful people can find it if they go deep into the crater of the volcano. Even if the volcano erupts a hundred times, it may not be able to erupt one. Let me find one. It's not easy, let alone ten." Long Tan clicked his tongue.
"Hehe, my ice jade is not only available in Shaodian Kingdom, but also in other countries in the world. Only by trying your luck in the far north ice field can you have a chance to see it. If you see it, you may not be able to get it. People without great opportunities cannot get it. No. Don't expect ten pieces of fire jade in exchange for you." Ding Kui doesn't care how difficult it is for Long Tan to obtain fire jade.
The "Ice and Snow Palace" is very secretive. Not many people in the world know about it. How rare it is for Ding Kui to be able to blow ice jade so well. No one except Ao Yu can expose him. As for the source of the fire jade, he wrote it down and determined You must go to Huolu Mountain to see it.
Knowing that ice jade was so rare, Long Tan was not depressed, and felt a little secretly happy in his heart. Although he didn't get one, his sister Long Yan got one. Having been close to each other since childhood, he was really happy for Long Yan.

Nanzhao Prefecture, Shaodian ** base camp, theater headquarters.
Jiang Zhi walked into the coach's tent with a pile of documents in his arms.
Jiang Xi held a family letter in his hand and looked up to see Jiang Zhi coming in, "How? What's unusual about the military situation?"
Since the young Jiang Zhi took office as the acting Chief of Staff of the Eighth Army, he has repeatedly seen through He Lianyu's schemes and frequently provided advice to the commander of the war zone Jiang Xi, laying the foundation for the Shaodian Kingdom's powerful army to defeat the Three Kingdoms Allied Forces and the current situation of a draw.
Less credit.
"The enemy's blockade of the Tongyuan River is extremely tight, making it impossible for our army to detect the shipping situation from Bangladesh to Nanzhao Prefecture; according to reports from behind enemy lines, convoys transporting supplies from Juyang City frequently come in and out. We have reason to believe that the three countries are heading towards the war zone from the direction of Bangladesh.
Reinforcements have been delivered." Jiang Zhi reported.
"Could it be that they are secretly increasing troops at this time because they want to launch a new round of offensive after the heavy rain in summer?" Jiang Xi carefully folded the family letter and put it in his arms, stood up and walked to the huge military map, "Which one will they choose this time?
Direction of attack?"
"Commander, we must apply to the commander-in-chief for additional troops. No matter where the enemy wants to attack, it will definitely be a big battle. He Lianyu has been silent for so long. This time he will definitely mobilize all his troops to launch an attack.
After fighting her for so long, I am 100% sure." Jiang Zhi firmly believed in his judgment.
"Then how many reinforcements do you estimate the enemy will send?"
"Judging from the time of mobilization and the time suitable for launching an attack, the enemy should increase its troops by two to four legions."
"How much more troops should we ask the General Office to increase?"
"It's the end of May now, and the closest state to us is Zhongwangzhou. It takes at least about two months from the time the troops gather to the time they leave for the war zone, which means it's almost August when they arrive here. The rain in Nanzhaozhou starts to decrease in August.
It is also the time when the enemy troops are assembled the fastest, and the battle is most likely to start at that time.
I suggest that the commander-in-chief immediately add two legions to the camp in the war zone and assemble two more legions to be on standby at any time; the main forces of each legion in the war zone move closer to the center of the defense line, and the gate-blocking troops will not leave their saddles starting from July, and the fodder supply will be checked three times a day.
"The number of scouts out on patrol is based on squadrons. Be careful to bring more warning fireworks..." Jiang Cao laid out a series of countermeasures.
"Very good. Now that you have figured out the response plan, immediately convene a meeting of the combat staff and notify each legion to send personnel to participate." Jiang Xi is not a commander with a high reputation, but he is used to convening all relevant personnel for discussion before making decisions.
The final order will be issued only after receiving support from the majority of people.
Yanling County City, the headquarters of the Three Kingdoms Allied Forces.
Allied Forces Military Meeting Hall.
He Lianyu, who looked like the girl next door, had a face as deep as water, sitting high in the position of the commander. On the left and right were the supreme commanders of Cao and Qi, and below them were the commanders of each legion.
"Where is Hu Yang, commander of the Fourth Army?" He Lianyu said coldly.
"Take Hu Yang!" the guards beside He Lianyu shouted loudly.
"Bring Hu Yang!"
…
After a while, Hu Yang, commander of the Mongolian Fourth Army, who was kidnapped by Wu Hua Da, was escorted into the lobby by two big men.
Poof, Hu Yang's legs and knees were kicked by two big men each, and he knelt in front of Helian Yu involuntarily.
"Hu Yang, do you have any grievance for delaying the military plane and leaking military information?" He Lianyu leaned forward and looked at Hu Yang condescendingly.
Hu Yang straightened his back, held his chest high, and said with a mocking smile: "He Lianyu, I didn't expect you to have such a back-up plan. Since I couldn't defeat you, I have nothing to say in your hands.
You can punish me with whatever crime you want, there is no need to ask me hypocritically if I have any grievances."
