Liu Renren said excitedly: "Your Highness!"

Qin Shuhuang walked up to Liu Renren with a smile and said, "Uncle Liu, it's been a hard journey!"

Liu Renren waved his hand and asked Qin Shuhuang to sit down at the table, "What I am doing is nothing, Your Highness is the one who worked hard. When did Your Highness arrive?"

While talking about Liu Renren, he looked at Qin Shuhuang.

Seeing that although Qin Shuhuang was dusty and her cheeks were slightly red from the cold wind, her eyes were bright and she was relieved immediately knowing that she was in good condition.

Shilan, who was following Liu Renren, didn't expect to see her master at this time.

After not seeing him for more than two months, His Highness became darker and thinner, and had frostbite on his hands. Shilan couldn't help but feel sore eyes when she saw him.

Their Royal Highnesses have never experienced such hardship.

She quickly walked to the side and made some tea for Qin Shuhuang.

Qin Shuhuang saw Shilan quietly wiping her tears and laughing at her. Shilan blushed when Qin Shuhuang saw her, and immediately stood behind Qin Shuhuang and stared down at her toes.

Qin Shuhuang said to Liu Renren: "Uncle Liu, I will arrive in the evening. Don't worry, I have already sent people to transport the baggage that was robbed before to the border."

After Qin Shuhuang's words, Liu Renren was completely relieved.

He had never received any news before. Although he and Qin Shuhuang had already planned this matter, he was always worried when there was no news.

Those supplies were taken away, and even Qin Shuhuang couldn't guarantee that the court would supply them with another batch.

"Your Highness, who can help?"

Qin Shuhuang laughed and said, "Uncle Liu, haven't you already guessed it and asked me?"

"Really the Xu family?"

Qin Shuhuang nodded, Xu Siyuan's grandfather was the border guard general Xu Kui.

Xu Kui guarded the northern border with Beidi.

For so many years, half of the reason why Beidi did not dare to invade Dawu was because of Xu Kui, a veteran border guard.

The late emperor trusted Xu Kui very much and gave Xu Kui full authority to manage matters in the northern border.

But after the death of the late emperor, the regent Qin Wei came to power. In order to gain power and encroach on military power, the regent installed Cao Jian in the north.

Cao Jian became the second in command of the Northern Army.

After more than ten years, Dawu's Northern Army has been divided into two factions, one is the Xu Family's Northern Army headed by the Xu family, and the other is the Cao Family's Northern Army headed by the Cao family.

Three years ago, Xu Kui fell ill and was recalled by the regent to the capital for retirement.

The Xu family was without Xu Kui, and Cao Jian, who was in his prime, took advantage of this opportunity to crazily suppress the Xu family in the Northern Army.

As of now, the Xu family's power in the Northern Army is only [-]%, and the Cao family has [-]%, completely gaining the upper hand.

Fortunately, Xu Kui trained an elite team of the Xu family when he was in the north, a total of 1000 people, led by Xu Zizhang himself.

Even though the Xu family's army in the Northern Army was cannibalized by the Cao family, this elite team has been well protected and is still very powerful. It is definitely the ace army in the Northern Army.

This time the mantis stalks the cicada and the oriole is followed by this elite team of the Xu family.

They dispatched 200 people to annihilate the Beidi team sent by Tisang and the Wolf King, and snatched back the baggage of the envoy team.

At this time, the baggage has been escorted to the northern border. After arriving in the northern border, these materials will be stored at the Xu family first. When they need it, they can go directly to the Xu family to get it.

"The third master of the Xu family sent his cronies and an elite team of 200 people to do it."

Liu Renren frowned, "If this is the case, we will be involved in the fight between the Xu and Cao families, which may be detrimental to His Highness."

Qin Shuhuang smiled bitterly, "Uncle Liu, even if we don't use the Xu family, do you think the Cao family won't make things difficult for us after we arrive in the north?"

Miss Xu Siyuan of the Xu family is engaged to Du Qinglin, the eldest son of Duke Rongguo. The two families have been family friends for a long time, and now they are closely related to each other. Mrs. Rongguo is Qin Shuhuang's aunt.

Even if the Xu family does not take sides, they will naturally be on Qin Shuhuang's side. In this case, they must be used when they should be used, and they must be employed without doubt.

Liu Renren sighed, Qin Shuhuang was right.

Seeing that Qin Shuhuang had black and blue under his eyelids, he was afraid that he was in a hurry to go to Beidi and had not slept well along the way. Liu Renren briefly explained the traveling situation of the past two months, and then said: "Your Highness, please rest early. , we will discuss the rest in detail on the carriage tomorrow."

Liu Renren didn't know much about the situation in southern Guangnan yet. He wanted to ask Qin Shuhuang in detail when he was on the carriage tomorrow.

Qin Shuhuang nodded.

Eager to catch up with Liu Renren these days, she and Xie Xuanye stayed up almost all night. When they arrived at this village, Qin Shuhuang had been horse racing all day and night. If the Xu family had not arranged replacement horses for her in advance, she would not be able to do it now. Can't get here.

Qin Shuhuang went back to his room to rest.

When on the road, Qin Shuhuang and his party rarely get a full night's sleep. Except for Qin Shuhuang, everyone else around them is male, so when they are resting, Qin Shuhuang and Xie Xuanye sleep close to each other, and everyone opens their eyes. Close one eye.

Now there is a special room for rest. Xie Xuanye was about to follow Qin Shuhuang into the room, but found that Shilan was already in Qin Shuhuang's room helping to clean up.

He suddenly stopped and twitched the corner of his mouth. In front of others, he was not the King of Zhenbei, but Xuan Cang, the commander of Qin Shuhuang's bodyguard.

Qin Shuhuang felt something strange about Xie Xuanye behind him and turned to look at him.

When he found Xie Xuanye frozen in place with his body stiffened, he immediately knew the reason.

Qin Shuhuang raised the corner of his mouth, turned around and whispered to Xie Xuanye: "There is a room next to it, go to bed early!"

Xie Xuanye glanced at Shilan who was busy in the room, and instantly decided in his heart that when he returned to the capital, he would marry off all of Qin Shuhuang's maids immediately, so that they would not be in the way every day.

Xie Xuanye nodded with a straight face and warned in a low voice, "Your Highness, please rest early. If you need anything, call me. I'll be next door."

Xie Xuanye turned around and went to the next room. Shilan saw Qin Shuhuang coming in and trotted over quickly, "Your Highness! I have prepared bath water for you, do you want to wash yourself?"

Qin Shuhuang nodded, and Shilan accompanied Qin Shuhuang into the inner room.

Shilan is a handy person. Even though this is just an ordinary farmhouse with limited conditions, she can still arrange a temporary clean room with a bathtub in the middle, which is full of hot air.

After leaving the caravan at Shigu Academy, Qin Shuhuang was in a hurry. He didn't have time to take a bath, and it was even more inconvenient for Qin Shuhuang to wash up because he was surrounded by men.

Now that Shilan is by his side, Qin Shuhuang suddenly feels like there is a caring "little cotton-padded jacket" around him.

While taking a bath, Qin Shuhuang joked: "Why don't you go serve Uncle Liu and come to me instead?"

Shilan pouted, "Your Highness, please don't joke with me. I am your maid. When Your Highness comes back, I will naturally come to serve you. Master Liu has an old servant, Uncle Ahai, so there is no need for me."

Qin Shuhuang smiled and asked Shilan what happened after she left while bathing.

When Shilan spoke, she clearly felt that His Highness was in a good mood, and the gloom that had appeared on his face from time to time was gone.

Shilan guessed that the purpose of His Highness's trip to Guangnan and southern Xinjiang had been achieved.

It had been a long time since he had such a comfortable bath. After bathing in hot water, Qin Shuhuang felt sleepy even faster.

She fell asleep while Shilan was wringing her hair.Shilan put Mrs. Tang under the quilt, dried His Highness's hair, tucked His Highness into a quilt, put down the bed curtain, and then knelt down to prepare the floor.

As soon as he took out the quilt, he was pulled by Qin Shuhuang. Qin Shuhuang patted the big bed and said, "Come up and sleep on the rammed earth floor. What kind of floor can you make?"

His Highness said this, Shilan smiled and climbed onto the bed.

The next morning, Qin Shuhuang woke up at dawn.

After taking a hot bath last night and having a good night's sleep, Qin Shuhuang woke up feeling refreshed this morning.

Shilan got up earlier than Qin Shuhuang.

When he saw her waking up, he immediately brought her clothes.

Seeing that what Shilan brought her was a dress, Qin Shuhuang shook his head and said, "Bring me the riding clothes."

Riding clothes are much more convenient and warmer than dresses, so they are more suitable when going out.

Hearing this, Shilan nodded and took a set of blue and white riding clothes for Qin Shuhuang to put on.

Her hair is tied up into a man bun, which is not only convenient, but also makes her wear a hat.

After dressing up like this, except for the bulging chest, he looks like a young and handsome young master.

Shilan on the side looks like a member of Qin Shuhuang’s family.

Get a good night's sleep and be exhausted.

There was a knock on the door, and Shilan quickly went to open the door.

When the door opened, it was none other than He Yutian.

Seeing Shi Lan, He Yutian's ears turned red. He handed the food box to Shi Lan, "The breakfast the commander ordered me to deliver is for His Highness."

Shilan took it with a smile and was about to turn around when He Yutian stopped Shilan again, "Wait a minute!"

Shilan turned around and looked at him and asked strangely: "What's wrong? Is there anything else?"

He Yutian immediately took out a lotus leaf bag from his arms and stuffed it into Shilan's hand, "I gave this to you, eat it while it's hot, we'll be on our way soon!"

After saying that, he turned around and left quickly, too embarrassed to wait for Shilan to say a word.

Shi Lan stood at the door in a daze. The lotus leaf bag stuffed by He Yutian in her hand was still radiating warmth. She didn't know whether it was the temperature of the food inside or the temperature of He Yutian's body.

At the table not far away, Qin Shuhuang looked at Shilan with a half-smile.

When Shilan came back to her senses, she noticed Qin Shuhuang's look, and her cheeks instantly felt like they were on fire.

"We haven't seen each other for more than two months. I didn't expect that my Shilan would be noticed!"

Shilan was helpless and angry, "Your Highness! You are also making fun of me!"

Saying that, Shi Lanxi blushed and took out the breakfast from the food box and placed it on the table.

The breakfast at the farmhouse is simple. I am afraid that Commander Xuan Cang specially asked the host to make it for Qin Shuhuang.

A bowl of red bean porridge, two fat boiled eggs, two steamed buns, and two small plates of pickles.

Qin Shuhuang picked up the chopsticks and refused to eat, insisting on seeing what He Yutian stuffed Shilan.

Shilan opened the lotus leaf bag. Inside the lotus leaf bag was a soft white steamed bun. The steamed bun was stuffed with meat, pickles and an egg. Not only that, there was also some meat sauce inside, which smelled delicious.

I didn't expect that this kid He Yutian was quite thoughtful.

Shilan has a strong taste, and her favorite food is the meat sauce made by the cook in the kitchen of the princess's mansion.

Qin Shuhuang joked: "Shilan, keep your lotus leaf bag and eat porridge with me."

Shilan shook her head, "Your porridge is very light. I'd better eat the steamed buns with meat sauce!"

It seems that He Yutian's breakfast was delivered to Shilan's heart.

Qin Shuhuang couldn't help but curl her lips. When she returned to the capital, she would have to pay a dowry.

A few days passed, and Tisang still didn't receive any news from the Wolf King's cronies.

By this time, Tisang finally determined that something had happened to those warriors!
Dawu's envoy team had long gone without knowing where it was. Tisang cared about his master in the Beidi royal court and no longer dared to drag on the road, so he immediately ordered the team to speed up and return to Beidi.

Tisang grew up in Beidi, and most of his team are Beidi people. They are used to cold weather, have higher tolerance to the cold than the Dawu people, and have more experience living in the cold than the Dawu people.

After Tisang's team accelerated, they quickly distanced themselves from Gu Yufei's team.

Half a day later, he had disappeared on the way to Beidi.

Gu Yufei's team was originally a team under General Liu.

After General Liu left the team, he took away [-]% of the experts, leaving Gu Yufei with either ordinary people or servants, with very few guards.

General Liu left little money. When Tisang's team was there, Gu Yufei asked Tisang to help him from time to time. Tisang did not refuse for the sake of the regent.

Now that Tisang left as soon as he said he was leaving, Gu Yufei's life going north suddenly became difficult.

Not to mention the supplies and wool products that were promised before, now even a smooth hot meal may not be available every meal.

After only a few days, Gu Yufei's hands and feet became swollen due to frostbite, and she couldn't even wear her original shoes.

Gu Yufei sent someone to contact General Liu, but the people sent out received no news after several days.

Qin Shuhuang, Liu Renren and his party also underestimated the weather in the north.

After traveling north for seven days, strong winds began to blow and hail fell.

After these seven days, some people in the team have refused to go on the road and stayed at the inn or farmhouse.

Qin Shuhuang and Liu Renren did not advise, and those who wanted to stay would stay.

Another seven days passed, and the team was already less than half of its people.

The rest grew more resolute and loyal.

That night, Qin Shuhuang and his party stayed in a remote mountain village.

After traveling for more than half a month, their speed was not slow. They were only half a month away from Xiagong City on the border.

If there is no wind and snow, we can reach Xiagong City in ten days.

It's a pity that the wind and snow not only did not get smaller, but actually got bigger.

Near this small mountain village, the snow was already waist deep, making it difficult for the horses to move forward.

Qin Shuhuang and his party went as fast as they could and didn't bring much supplies. They thought they could make it to Xia Gong City. Little did they know that people's consumption would speed up under the extreme cold. By the time they arrived at a small mountain village half a month away from Xia Gong City, they had very few supplies left. . (End of chapter)
