When Gu Qiancheng and Qin Jiyan left Jiangnan, it was late autumn and early winter, when the weather was getting cooler.
Winter comes later in the south. It is not warm in early winter, but it is by no means cold. At least when he left Jiangnan, Gu Qiancheng could hardly feel the cold while sitting in the carriage, but...
As they got closer to Mobei, Gu Qiancheng found that the day was unbearably cold.
"Why is it so cold?" Gu Qiancheng was wrapped like a ball, with only a pair of eyes exposed, but even this was not enough for her, so she tightened her heavy fur coat and rubbed it against the fire.
It's really cold!
The wind is really like a knife. As long as the exposed skin is exposed, it will be scratched with blood marks.
In her whole life, she has never been to a colder place than this. Even the military city in Xihu was not so cold.
"Mobei has always been like this." Wu Yi was wearing a fur coat, sitting by the fire and drinking some wine, showing a maturity that did not match his age.
In a place like Mobei, not to mention fifteen-year-olds, even children of one or two years old can drink, and the drinks they drink are strong liquor.
There is no way, it's too cold, you have to find a way to keep yourself warm, otherwise you will freeze to death.
"You understand now why Grandma and the others refused to come back as soon as they arrived in the capital, right?" Wu Yi was very indifferent when he said this, his eyes like ink dots without any emotion, as if he was talking about insignificant people.
.
This young man doesn't look like a fifteen-year-old child, and he even hides it deeper than Jing Yan.
"I heard that Mobei only has two seasons: winter and summer. Winter is so cold, is summer very hot?" Gu Qiancheng sent people to Mobei before, but he never asked about the weather in Mobei.
Qin Jiyan's people knew a little bit about it and had made preparations before coming, but now it seemed that their preparations were still lacking.
"Summer... can roast people alive." Therefore, no one comes to such a place. People who stay in Mobei are all desperate people. Those who can survive in Mobei are not careful in their abilities. The Wu family
It's nothing in Mobei.
Wu Yi didn't say these words. Gu Qiancheng would know the situation in Mobei after entering the city anyway.
"What do you do for a living in this place?" Gu Qiancheng didn't know what kind of crops could be grown in a climate like Mobei's.
Gu Qiancheng couldn't imagine that in such a harsh environment and with enough food in Wimbledon, what would the people living in Mobei do for a living?
"Grab!" Wu Yi was afraid that Gu Qiancheng would not understand, so he added: "There is little arable land in Mobei, and the only arable land is in the hands of a few major forces. If other people want to survive, they have to exchange things with them, or
Grab. In Mobei, being able to grab is also a skill."
Everyone living in Mobei is not a good person. Even children as young as one or two years old know how to steal food. However, people who have not made a living in Mobei will not know these things.
"What's the status of the Wu family...in Mobei? Is there any farmland?" Qin Jiyan and Gu Qiancheng didn't find much about the Wu family's situation. Qin Jiyan had sent people here before, but he could contact the Wu family.
I left and didn't have time to check more.
The spies left in the capital by the Wu family did not know the situation in Mobei.
"As long as there is arable land, grandma and the others will not leave easily." In Mobei, if you have arable land, you are the landowner. Although it is not as prosperous as the capital, you can be a local emperor in Mobei. Who would be stupid enough to go to the capital to find fault.
"What did the Wu family do for a living in Mobei for so many years?" Gu Qiancheng continued to ask.
This time Wu Yi did not answer readily, but glanced at Gu Qiancheng, then lowered his head and said: "Collect herbs, and... sell them!"
What to sell?
Gu Qiancheng didn't ask, but from Wu Yi's expression, Gu Qiancheng could roughly guess that it was not a good thing.
The conversation came to an abrupt end. The people sitting around the fire did not say a word. There was only the sound of "crack...". Feng Yuqian saw that no one spoke for a long time. He looked at this and that, silently.
The warm wine was handed to Qin Jiyan.
The weather was really too cold, and Qin Jiyan couldn't resist the chill that penetrated his bones unless he kept exercising.
After half a bottle of strong wine was consumed, a stream of heat surged out of his lower abdomen. Qin Jiyan handed the remaining half of the bottle to Gu Qiancheng, "Drink!"
Gu Qiancheng looked confused, "What should I do if I'm drunk?" The wine was too strong. Qin Jiyan and the other men were okay. After these few days of training, they could drink half a bottle without any trouble, but Gu Qiancheng didn't.
no.
Although Gu Qiancheng has a small capacity for drinking, she can get drunk in one gulp of such strong wine.
"It doesn't matter, you won't cause trouble when you're drunk." This wasn't the first time Gu Qiancheng drank, so it certainly wasn't the first time he got drunk.
"But I really hate the feeling of being drunk. My mind goes blank and I have no idea what I did." Gu Qiancheng looked at the flask in disgust, but accepted it anyway.
She can carry it if she moves a lot during the day, but not at night. If she doesn't take a sip of strong alcohol to warm up before going to sleep, she will turn into a popsicle and never wake up again.
Gu Qiancheng closed his eyes and drank the remaining liquor as if he were swallowing poison, "It tastes so bad!"
The pungent and pungent smell of wine poured into his nose and throat. Gu Qiancheng's pretty face wrinkled into a ball, his eyes were red with tears, and he looked like a pitiful little kid who had been bullied...
"I feel so dizzy." He swallowed the wine and immediately drank it. Gu Qiancheng's head shook slightly. He fainted as soon as he closed his eyes, and his head fell into the fire...
Qin Jiyan didn't panic and pulled the person into his arms. Judging from his actions, you could tell that this was definitely not the first time!
"Why do you still get drunk after one gulp after drinking so many times?" Feng Yuqian couldn't help but shake his head when he saw Gu Qiancheng drunk to death again.
They can get used to it after drinking it once or twice. Gu Qiancheng drank it more than ten times and still drank it after just one sip. It was more effective than drugs.
Qin Jiyan ignored Feng Yuqian, picked up Gu Qiancheng and walked towards the carriage.
In the carriage, charcoal basins had already been placed. Just for safety reasons, after Qin Jiyan and Gu Qiancheng entered, the charcoal basins inside had to be removed to avoid poisoning.
With the remaining warmth of the charcoal basin, plus drinking wine and holding Gu Qiancheng in his arms, Qin Jiyan didn't feel cold, but... he didn't feel sleepy.
His people have been to Mobei before. Although Mobei is poor, it seems to be relatively peaceful. At least his people have come several times and found no problems, but...
After listening to Wu Yi's words tonight, I knew that Mobei was by no means as simple as it appeared, especially the major forces in Mobei, which sounded like they didn't even take the emperor seriously.
"This place in Mobei is really not that complicated. I don't know where anywhere in Mobei can grow medicinal materials?" Qin Jiyan hugged Gu Qiancheng tightly, his deep eyes sparkling...
Mobei is the territory of his Great Qin. No matter what the situation in Mobei is, this place can only be controlled by Great Qin!
