Chapter 232 It's Snowing

Shen Liuzhen opened his mouth slightly, and looked at Xie Yuan's leaving back with his reluctant hand, without moving for a long time.

Liu Qinbing looked at Xie Yuan, then at him, and said:
"Go back and sit down. It's windy outside. It won't be good if the wind and cold get worse."

Shen Liuzhen sighed, then turned around, bowed his head, and returned to the carriage.

"Xie Yuan left just like that. What do you say when people ask you when you go back?" Liu Qinbing asked while driving the car around.

Shen Liuzhen's voice was muffled, and he said in a low mood:

"...Just say that I want to go back to Pingcheng, and she doesn't want to go because the distance is far away, so I sent someone to take her home."

"Well... that's fine." Liu Qinbing paused, and then asked, "Then let's go back like this, and wait to see how the battle turns out?"

Shen Liuzhen leaned back relaxed, pulled over a warm mattress to cover his legs, and said:
"I can't worry about the outcome of this battle...Anyway, my mission here has been completed, I'll go back early, and take advantage of Prince Muhe's party being caught off guard and unable to react, I will take the opportunity to break it up Now, it’s important to wipe it clean.”

Liu Qinbing was silent for a while without saying a word. At this time, the gloomy weather actually started to snow.

He looked up at the sky, and said worriedly: "It's snowing... the general is still surrounded in Ren County, it's even more difficult to supply, I'm afraid they..."

He didn't go on.The general he was talking about had no one but Shen Qingzhi.

Upon hearing this, Shen Liuzhen also opened the car window and looked outside.White flakes of snow flutter and fall, beautiful and gentle.

However, such a beautiful scenery is also a danger that can kill people.How many homeless refugees will freeze to death at night.How many soldiers will be unable to return home because of the weather reversal and buried bones on the battlefield?
Shen Liuzhen stretched out his hand out of the window subconsciously. In the running carriage, the wind blew snowflakes across his hand. It was as cold and sharp as a knife.

He withdrew his hand sadly, and the snowflakes immediately turned into a puddle of water, making people shiver from the cold.

There was a flash of light in Shen Liuzhen's bright eyes, but he still couldn't help sticking his head out of the window, and looked behind the car window.

The figure of Xie Yuan riding a horse has gone a long way, and there is only a small black spot in the distance, looming in the snow all over the sky, it looks like her, but it doesn't seem to be her...

Shen Liuzhen squinted his eyes and looked far away, trying to see clearly, but couldn't help coughing.

Liu Qinbing turned his head and saw that he was blowing the wind by the window of the carriage, and said, "Mr....You must have a severe cold like this. If you have a fever, it will kill you if you don't cure it."

Only then did Shen Liuzhen give up, and came back again, patted the snow on his head, and covered his body with the mattress tighter.

"Brother Liu...are you cold?" Shen Liuzhen asked tremblingly.

Liu Qinbing lowered the bamboo hat on his head to block the slanting wind and snow, and said boldly:
"Don't worry, I'm wearing thicker clothes than you, and it's tightly wrapped."

Shen Liuzhen couldn't help coughing again, and said, "A Yuan wears such thin clothes, and has to ride so far, I don't know if she can bear it or not."

Liu Qinbing laughed when he heard it, and said with some pride: "The people who practice martial arts have a strong heart, and they won't fall ill so easily. What's more, it's just snowing now, so it's actually not that cold... the coldest time is When the snow stops and is about to melt, don't worry."

"...Really? Then why do I feel so cold?" Shen Liuzhen said tremblingly.

When Liu Qinbing heard it, his eyes shook, and he asked, "You don't have a fever, do you?"

Shen Liuzhen touched his forehead, but he couldn't feel anything, he just felt very cold and a little dizzy, he hesitated and didn't speak.

Liu Qinbing shook the reins in his hand, shouted at the horse to run faster, and said:
"It's time to go and treat the disease. Drive ~!"

……

Xie Yuan galloped along the way and found that it was snowing, so she just looked up at the sky and continued to rush back against the wind and snow.

Before arriving at the camp, she found a secret sentry waiting for her in the dark by the roadside.Seeing her figure, through the snowflakes all over the sky, he shouted happily: "Captain, the captain is back!"

Xie Yuan galloped past on his fast horse, and only had time to say: "Don't report it, keep hiding!" One man and one horse had already galloped away.

But people can't run so fast, and soon the news of her return spread to the camp by her shouts.

Si Jun Zhou Fang, who had already been anxiously waiting for her in the camp, as well as two of her personal soldiers, several trusted guards, ran out to greet her, and happened to run into each other at the gate of the camp.

"Lieutenant, you are back, are things over at home?" Zhou Fang asked excitedly.

"It's over." Xie Yuan replied briefly, his voice was cold and hurried.He ran into the camp without stopping.Zhou Fang exchanged glances with the others, and hurriedly followed.

Xie Yuan got off his horse, Zhou Fang got off his horse too, trotted up after him, and asked:
"Captain, what happened?"

As soon as Xie Yuan entered the tent, he found his saber, hung it on his body again, and asked while hanging it, "What happened recently?"

Zhou Fang was originally in a relaxed and happy mood, but he couldn't help being a little nervous by Xie Yuan's rhythm. He took a step forward, speeded up his speech and said:
"The Wei army was patrolling near the main road and plundered the food and grass we transported twice. Yesterday, our patrolmen discovered it and drove it away once."

Xie Yuan frowned unhappily when he heard this, and said, "Didn't I tell you that we must ensure the delivery of food and grass?"

Zhou Fang said with a bitter face: "The cavalry of the Wei army are like a gust of wind. They kill people with bows and arrows when they see them. While killing people, they burn food and grass with oily arrows. There are not many cavalry in our battalion, so we can't chase them... The key is the lack of manpower, and we have to deploy formations to guard this important route and patrol, so we can't guard against it at all..."

Xie Yuan's face softened a little when he heard that, but it wasn't very good either.

She said lightly: "Forget it. I'm going to Ren County to find General Shen for a military report. I'll talk about it when I come back."

After finishing speaking, he hurried out of the camp with a group of soldiers.

Zhou Fang and several guards stood at the door of the tent, looking at each other, wondering what happened to make Xie Yuan so anxious...

……

As soon as Xie Yuan saw his master Shen Qingzhi, he said anxiously: "Master, Prince Mu He is dead, now is the best time to attack, if you delay it, it will be too late."

When Shen Qingzhi heard this, his eyes lit up first, and he said excitedly, "It's done?!"

After seeing Xie Yuan nod his head, he turned around the room happily and muttered: "Good boy, I really have you!"

But after finishing speaking, he sat back down in frustration and said: "But... our reinforcements haven't arrived yet, at most we send some small people to drive cars to bring in some grain and cotton clothes every day... nothing else gone."

Xie Yuan said anxiously: "But Wei Jun's reinforcements have arrived, master... the current situation, if you don't seize the opportunity, you have to escape from the encirclement first! You have to make a move!"
