Wu Chao: Take the whole family to escape the famine

After passing the pass, Shadow didn't even dare to turn his head, wishing he could grow four legs and gallop in the heavy snow.

In the evening, we finally arrived at Tongzhou.

Tongzhou is only allowed to enter but not to exit. As long as it is a Daqi merchant, it can enter Tongzhou, but no one is allowed to go to Luozhou. Therefore, after the shadow came to the pass, the people here let it go without asking.

After the shadow entered Tongzhou, he washed off the disguise on his face and went to the military camp.

Coincidentally, the general guarding the pass here is Lin Yi, and Lin Yi and several subordinates are "making hot pot" in the camp.

A small stove was burning with charcoal, and red oil was rolling in the iron pan on the stove. Although the dishes were a little less, there were meat and vegetables, delicious and spicy, and the big guy was sweating down his spine.

Just eating well, someone came in to report.

"Report to General Lin, there is a man named Ying Ying asking to see him outside, saying he is a friend of General Lin."

"Shadow? He's back?" Lin Yi was overjoyed when he heard Shadow's name. He put down his chopsticks and went out of the tent himself.

"General Lin." Shadow came over covered in wind and snow, and cupped his hands at Lin Yi.

"Brother Yingying has worked hard, come into the tent quickly, we are eating, we are talking while eating."

"Okay." Shadow responded, shaking off the snow on his body and followed Lin Yi into the camp.

General Lin personally greeted the guests, their identities must not be simple, and several subordinates put down their bowls and chopsticks and stood up.

"This is my brother Shadow, the personal guard of His Royal Highness the Night King." Lin Yi smiled and introduced Shadow to everyone.

"I've seen Brother Ying." Several subordinates saluted respectfully.

"My brother, don't be too polite." Ying Ying smiled at everyone and clasped his fists in return.

"Brother Yingying, eat first, and eat the hot pot to drive away the cold." Lin Yi said and ordered his subordinates to bring the bowls and chopsticks.

Shadow was also very hungry, took the bowl and chopsticks and began to eat unceremoniously.

Anyway, it was almost dark, and it was absolutely impossible to fight at night in such a windy and snowy day, even the torches whistling by the cold wind could not be ignited.

After eating a few mouthfuls of hot food and roasting on the fire for a while, and his numb hands and feet came back to life, Shadow turned his gaze to Lin Yi and said in a heavy tone:
"This snowstorm was so sudden, we saw countless refugees freezing to death all the way south, and many people 'changed their children to eat'. It was really miserable!"

"Changing children to eat~~ Oh, it's really pitiful!" Lin Yi felt very heavy after hearing this, and couldn't help but put down his chopsticks, "The court is so chaotic, it will definitely not care about the life and death of these disaster victims."

"Yeah, not only did he not care, but Zhu Xiangyu also looted wildly all the way, making the common people even worse." Shadow shook his head helplessly, and then looked at Lin Yi, "General Lin, how is the situation here? It must be very short of food, right?"

In fact, you can guess it without asking. The Night King has more than 100 million soldiers. This requires a lot of food? How long has it been since His Majesty came to entrust the land in Lingzhou? How can there be so much food?
Thinking of this, Shadow sighed. He couldn't take a bite of this delicious hot pot, so he simply put down the bowl and chopsticks.Seeing this, Ji Dong's subordinates burst into jokes.

"Brother Shadow, you don't think we are the kind of army that puts people's lives at risk, do you? If the people are hungry, how dare we eat hot food here?"
"Isn't it? If we dare to do this, His Royal Highness the Night King will not spare us!"

"This..." Shadow was surprised when he heard this, "What's going on? Could it be that there is no snow disaster here? Lin Yi looked at Shadow with a smile, and Yi handed the bowl and chopsticks to Shadow again.

"Do you really think God is so eccentric? There are snowstorms everywhere, but we don't make trouble here?"

"It was His Royal Highness the Night King who watched the stars at night and concluded that the volcanic eruption would cause sudden changes in the weather and heavy snowfall, so he prevented this snow disaster before it happened."

"The government asked the common people to strengthen their houses early. The corn, potatoes, cabbage, radishes and other vegetables in the field were all stored in the cellar. The rice, grain and firewood were well prepared to deal with the snowstorm."

The more Shadow listened to these words, the happier he became, feeling that the big stone that was weighing on his heart finally fell to the ground.

His Royal Highness the King of the Night cares about the people, and only when the people are safe and sound can he deal with this war wholeheartedly.

But soon he asked worriedly: "Then the soldiers have enough rice? Only when the soldiers have enough rice can we win this battle."

"Here, brother Ying, didn't you see this?" Lin Yi said, picking up a pinch of mutton and shaking it in the tumbling oil pan, and then sent the vegetables to the shadow bowl. What does the food look like? Hahaha."

Shadow held the bowl and chopsticks, looking at the mutton in the bowl in surprise and joy.

"Isn't this too rich? Is it possible that all the soldiers can eat so well?"

As he spoke, he glanced at everyone present, "I thought that everyone didn't even have to drink porridge, and didn't even have to wear cotton-padded jackets.

Unexpectedly, both the soldiers guarding the pass and the generals in front of them were all wearing thick cotton jackets and boots, and they were not starving or freezing as expected.

"Didn't you think so? With King Ye and Concubine Ye, anything is possible. Brother Ying can eat it without worry." Lin Yi picked up a piece of Chinese cabbage, rolled it in the pot, and chewed it crisply in his mouth.

Shadow also felt relieved, and started to eat boldly, thinking that perhaps it was the Daqi Kingdom who was behind him, which made it so nourishing.

My body was warm after eating a full meal, and it was dark outside, so several lieutenants went to work on their own.

Lin Yi made tea and Shadow continued to drink tea and warm up by the fire.

"By the way, brother Ying, why did you come back early alone? What about the emperor and Aqin?" He wanted to ask a long time ago, but there were too many people just now, so he just held back and didn't ask.

The news that they had left the capital with the emperor who was infected with the gu came back early in the morning. Thinking that Ah Qin would definitely use the disguise technique, she didn't send anyone to pick her up.

You may not be able to recognize it even if you send someone to pick it up, not to mention that there are so many people that it attracts attention.

Shadow leaned his body towards Ji Dong and lowered his voice.

"The reason why I came back first was that I had a confidential information report. Zhu Xiangyu's military rations were distributed by us to the desperate people in the rear."

"Zhu Xiangyu trained his soldiers fiercely. The soldiers under his hands are like dead soldiers. They only dare to die on the battlefield, and no one dares to retreat half a step. It is also extremely difficult to deal with."

"Now that they have no rations, they will be in a state of chaos. This is the best time for His Highness to attack."

Ji Dong was also extremely excited when he heard the news, and patted Shadow on the shoulder excitedly.

"Indeed, as you said, it is precisely because Zhu Xiangyu is extremely difficult to deal with that His Highness will prepare the army carefully, and has not mobilized troops for a long time."

"I didn't expect you to rob Zhu Xiangyu's army rations, so this battle will definitely win~~ But you are too courageous to take such a big risk."

"Yeah, I did take a lot of risks." Shadow nodded, "The four of us split into three groups, and Aqin escorted the emperor to pass the customs. If there is no accident, we should be able to arrive in Tongzhou tomorrow, and Jiang You is in charge. The situation is the most dangerous!"

Lin Yi's face was solemn, and he raised his heart.

After a moment of silence, he got up.

"I will send someone to report this good news to His Highness the Night King, and His Highness will definitely make the most appropriate arrangements."
