The cold wind howled outside the tent, and the shrill wind was mixed with the rustling of whips.

After a while, Ge Jiamu came back with a blood-stained whip, and the blood dripped down the whip tip and smashed into the carpet.

In the ice and snow, the disheveled Sima Qing lay quietly in the wooden cage, as if dead.

A biting cold wind blew by, he moved his fingers, and then suddenly opened his eyes.

In an instant, Sima Qing's eyes were as bright as lacquer, and then they were squinted by the flying Ye Xue.

He stretched out his blood-stained hands and groped under his body, and felt a hard lump after a while.

It was a steamed bun covered with snow, frozen as hard as a stone.

Sima Qing picked up the steamed bun with difficulty, and then ate it with his broken teeth in the cold wind and snowflakes.

The next few days were sunny, and there was no snow on the plain.

The ice and snow are melting everywhere, and the water is rippling. Looking around, the waves are shining, which is really beautiful.

This rapid snowfrozen killed many weeds and insect eggs, fertilized and moistened a lot of land.

"Auspicious snow heralds a good year. In the coming year, there will be a bumper harvest here, and the warehouse can be expected." The old military doctor looked at the rippling fields and said with emotion: "It would be great if our grassland had such fertile land."

There is very little land suitable for farming on the grasslands, and tribes often fight for land with fertile water and grass.

Every winter, the pastures decrease sharply. If there is no warm area to spend the winter, countless cattle and sheep will be frozen to death.

Moreover, some Qiang people ran to the grassland to plunder from time to time.

Frequent low temperature, insect plagues, sandstorms, plague, plus looting from time to time.

In recent years, the life of grassland people has not been easy.

Without Sima Qing's obstruction, coupled with the clear weather, the convoy's next journey was unimpeded.

Leaping across the plain, there is a continuous, undulating partition mountain range.

After turning over this mountain range, there is an endless prairie.

The temperature at the foot of the Duan Mountains is relatively high. Even in winter, the vegetation is still green, the water is murmuring, and there are even many white butterflies flying at the foot of the mountain.

As soon as Ah Jiu beckoned, the fluttering white butterfly stopped between his fingers.

Ajiu waved again, and the butterflies began to dance around Mizuki, making Mizuki giggle.

The silver bird on the shoulder of the moon tilted its head and stared at the butterflies without blinking, as if it wanted to pick a big and fat butterfly as ration.

The strutting horse clears the way ahead, exuding an aura of dominance.

Gejiamu's body has fully recovered. She is sitting on the carriage, her calves are dangling, and she uses the whip in her hand to drive the horse from time to time.

The carriage behind the team pulled a wooden cage, and Sima Qing with disheveled hair curled up inside.

There were festering chilblains all over his body, with rotten patches and red patches, and a few flies buzzed around him.

"Buzz~"

Sima Qing stretched out his hand impatiently to chase away the flies, and the flies buzzed away again
Some of the wounds on his body had already scabbed over, and the brownish-black scabs lifted slightly, exposing the pinkish-white new flesh underneath.

The scab was very itchy, so he simply tore off the scab.

The brown scab dripping with blood was held in his hand and looked at repeatedly.

After watching for a while, Sima Qing felt a familiar burning sensation in his stomach again, and he was so hungry that he panicked.

So he lifted the scab, then raised his head, opened his mouth and swallowed the scab.

"Hahaha, look at him, he even eats the scars on his body."

The guard pointing at Sima Qing laughed, as if he had seen something extremely interesting.

These days, they didn't let Sima Qing have a full meal.

Every time the guards waited until Sima Qing was about to starve to death, they mercifully threw in a few gnawed meat bones.

But Sima Qing picked it up and sucked and sucked, gnawed and gnawed.

The light in his eyes was still astonishingly bright, and it still fell on Obscure Moon in front of him from time to time.

"Yi~吃~"

A huge sea dongqing flew over the top of the mountain, hovered and landed from above people's heads.

As soon as the cavalry leader stretched out his hand, Hai Dongqing landed on his arm steadily.

There was a letter box tied to Hai Dongqing's ankle. The cavalry leader took it off and looked at it, then raised his head and said, "Princess, Wang Ting has sent someone to meet him."

Ge Jiamu waved the whip in his hand, then turned his head and asked, "Who is here?"

"Back to the princess, it's Badamu."

Upon hearing this name, Ge Jiamu's eyes narrowed slightly, a red glow flew up on his face, and his phoenix eyes were as tender as water, flowing with a touch of spring.

Seeing Ge Jiamu's appearance, Ozuki knew it, then nudged her with her elbow, and asked narrowly, "Your fiance?"

Ge Jiamu's face was flushed, and then he raised his phoenix eyebrows, and said brightly: "Yes, Badamu is the number one warrior in the grassland."

"Oh, it's really nice to be able to marry the person I like."

Ozuki patted Ge Jiamu, smiling eyes, very happy for her.

The horseshoes kicked and trampled, the mountain road gradually narrowed, and the field of vision became narrower and narrower.

Obscure Moon looked up, there was a line of sky above her head, and a rift valley in front of her, the horse team wanted to pass through here, and then go around to the mountain.

Weeds are overgrown at the bottom of the rift, and only one person and one horse can pass through the narrowest place.

The procession was forced into a thin line, and the horses would have to cross the chasm one by one.

Since the mountain was blocked by heavy snow, this was the only way to go. Shen Yinxing looked at the terrain with a worried face, so he immediately reined in his horse and stopped.

If there is an ambush here, there is really no way to escape.

The leader of the cavalry saw Shen Yinxing's worry, smiled and patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, cross this rift and climb another mountain, and you will reach the edge of the Wangting tribe, where the most elite troops on the grassland are stationed. Dare to cause trouble here, and the Badam warriors have already brought people to meet them."

Shen Yinxing nodded, but still stared around vigilantly.

On the hillside not far away, a clump of grass was shaking irregularly. The sharp-eyed Shen Yinxing felt that something was wrong, and said, "Son, see if there is anything unusual nearby."

Ajiu nodded, then suddenly closed her eyes.

The climate in the valley is warm, and the animals are very active. Every bird singing on the branches and every caterpillar lying in the grass nest is Ajiu's eyes.

All the secrets in the sky and the earth have nowhere to hide in front of Ajiu.

Obscure Moon joked that Aku was a walking monitor.

Not long after, Ah Jiu suddenly opened his eyes.

"Aniang, someone is lying in ambush." ​​Ah Jiu said concisely.

As soon as this remark came out, Shen Yinxing and the cavalry leader were instantly alert.

"How many people?" Shen Yinxing asked in a low voice.

Ajiu: "A hundred or so archers."

Shen Yinxing: "The direction?"

Ajiu: "A bush on a high place."

Hearing this, the leader of the cavalry made a few gestures to his back calmly.

A guard behind him saw it, and immediately put his finger to his mouth and began to sing like a bird.
