Chapter 427 On the road

Gu Yuzhi and his party had never encountered a good weather since they left the customs. Either the north wind was raging and the clouds were overwhelming, or the wind was blowing and the snow was flying, which was so exciting that people couldn't open their eyes.
Fortunately, there were black kites scouting along the way, and the sense of smell of Xueye and other wild animals was much more sensitive than humans, so we could go deep and safely.

After marching day and night for only a few days, Gu Yuzhi's originally white and tender face was already cracked.

Not only that, his lips were also chapped from the cold, with traces of blood oozing from them, his hands were red and swollen from the cold, his cheeks were sunken, and only a pair of big eyes were shining brightly all over his body.

At this time, the wind and cold were raging, and it was difficult to move forward even on snowy nights and other wild animals.

Everyone hid in the leeward, and many beasts skillfully formed a circle to protect everyone in the middle.

Xue Ye led some other beasts to hunt around.

The guards gathered branches, quickly raised torches, and boiled the snow water in clay pots.

It wasn't until he drank the hot water that Gu Yuzhi felt that Mr. Huo was applying frostbite medicine on him with distressed eyes: "Can your Highness still hold on? Why don't you rest here for half a day?"

The frostbite-cracked little face felt like it was being torn apart. As soon as the ointment was applied, it felt ice-cold at first, and then quickly became warm again.

Gu Yuzhi touched his little face carefully, and puffed out his face full of grievance: "Mr. Huo, my face is cracked, will it not grow well in the future?"

If it doesn't grow well, won't I have to bear such a face full of cracks every day in the future?

He is still so young...

Thinking of this, Gu Yuzhi felt so sad that he wanted to cry.

Mr. Huo shook his head and said firmly: "Don't worry, Your Highness, it will never happen."

He shook the ointment and said, "The frostbite ointment prescribed by Qin Yuan is something that all the ladies in the palace like to use."

Upon hearing this, Gu Yuzhi breathed a sigh of relief and sighed like a young adult: "No need to rest. Let's eat something and replenish our strength. When the wind and snow calm down, we will continue on our way."

Before leaving, I received intelligence that Beidi was gathering an army to invade Quanzhou. Ten days have passed, and I don't know what the situation is now.

So he couldn't stop and had to hurry up.

As long as the Beidi base camp can be captured, the Beidi people who are advancing must return to defend. At that time, they can attack from the front and back and hit Beidi hard again.

Most of the small animals are hidden in winter. In addition, the weather is bad and it is difficult to hunt wild animals on snowy nights. Gu Yuzhi and others basically eat dried meat prepared by Grandma Xu.

He took the dried meat that had been frozen as hard as stone, put it in his mouth and took a bite, but only a little bit of the flavor came out, so he had to put it in his mouth and soften it bit by bit.

When the snow water boils again, Mr. Huo puts in the frozen rice cakes, dried meat and dried vegetables.

Everyone ate a simple meat porridge around the bonfire. They felt that the coldness in their bodies had been dispelled, and finally some smiles appeared on their faces.

Gu Yuzhi leaned on Xue Ye, and Xue Ye's tail patted him gently every now and then. The long hair brushed Gu Yuzhi's face from time to time, tickling him for a while.

The next moment, the small opening in the mouth was torn open again, and blood dripped out instantly.

Gu Yuzhi quickly puffed up his mouth with his hands and rolled his big eyes.

When Teacher Shu saw this, the tip of his nose became sore and tears welled up in his eyes: "Little Prince, please stop talking and take the time to rest."

Seeing that the wind and snow were about to subside, the young prince and the others were on their way again. This emergency march was much more difficult than when Mr. Huo took him to experience wilderness survival before.

Even the strong guards couldn't bear it, let alone the young prince.

Shu Xiaohan and Wen Xiuzhu looked at each other with joy in their eyes.

It may be that the emperor arranged for the young prince to go to the south of the Yangtze River. This time he marched for several days. Although the young prince lost weight visibly, he was not sick at all.

After all, this time, they only brought some emergency powder with them, and Judge Qin did not follow them.

Gu Yuzhi nodded his head, wrapped his cloak tighter, tilted his head, and quickly fell into a deep sleep.

When Gu Yuzhi woke up, the wind and snow had subsided a lot, and the sky was already dark.

He carefully rubbed his eyes with his carrot-like hands and said in a dry and hoarse voice, "Mr. Huo, is Black Kite back?"

Because they wanted to know the battle situation in Quanzhou, when they took a short rest here, Gu Yuzhi asked Black Kite to fly in the direction of Quanzhou.

It's been several hours, Black Kite should be back, right?

Mr. Huo hummed and asked Gu Yuzhi to drink a few sips of hot water to moisten his throat, and then continued: "This is the letter tied to Black Kite's paw."

Gu Yuzhi couldn't bear to drink water, so he hurriedly took it, and when he opened it, he saw very familiar words.

His eyes immediately turned red, and his hand, which was purple and swollen from the cold, gently rubbed the letter: "It's from Xie Changshi."

Gu Yuzhi sniffed: "Xie Changshi said that the generals had already fought yesterday. Because the traitors told the Beidi people about their defenses and formations, the Beidi army was unprepared and the vanguard was severely wounded by more than 6,000 people."

Seeing this, Gu Yuzhi's tone became much cheerful, and he turned to look at Mr. Huo: "This is good news!"

Mr. Huo also had a smile on his face: "No matter how many people Beidi sent, the heavy damage to the 6,000 vanguard troops will definitely make them slow down and adjust their strategy."

Gu Yuzhi nodded: "Yes!"

He continued to look down, the smile on his face getting bigger and bigger. He didn't care that the crack on his lip was torn open again. He grabbed Mr. Huo's arm and laughed: "Mr. Huo, look, Xie Changshi said, they Already know who the traitor is!"

On the day of departure, they had already formulated countermeasures. The first battle was particularly important, so they could only win but not lose.

But if there are really traitors, the possibility of them winning is very small, so Mr. Huo immediately proposed to use a fake march plan to severely damage the Beidi Army and find the traitors at the same time.

After hearing Gu Yuzhi say that the traitor had been found, Mr. Huo stepped forward and took a look. When he saw the man's name, Mr. Huo's face suddenly darkened. After a long while, he said: "It turned out to be him!"

Gu Yuzhi had not been in the army much and was not familiar with this man's name. When he saw this man's surname was Wu, he blinked with big eyes: "Mr. Huo, is this man related to Vice General Wu?"

Mr. Huo only nodded, but didn't say what the relationship was. Gu Yuzhi puffed his face and didn't ask in detail.

Anyway, no matter what the relationship is, Vice General Wu will definitely be implicated by this traitor.

He held his chin with his little hand and sighed, took the rice cake and took a few more bites. Seeing that the wind and snow had subsided, he hurriedly waved to everyone to continue on their way.

General Lu has the mission of General Lu, and they also have their mission.

Only by working together can they completely defeat the Beidi army this time!
