Three Kingdoms: My Strategy Simulator

However, after some calculations, Li Ji found that the snow would gradually become smaller, but it would probably continue for two days, which made Li Ji look a little unhappy.

Afterwards, Li Ji returned to the governor's mansion and tried to concentrate on handling government affairs, but he could not get into the state of mind for a long time. Sometimes he would stare blankly at the documents in front of him for a whole cup of tea.

"I am finally upset..."

Li Ji rubbed his temples, trying to ease his inner impatience.

However, no matter how calm Li Ji was on weekdays, and no matter how rationally he judged that Li Xiang and Li Xi would not be in too much danger, he could not help but feel worried.

What if an unexpected accident occurs?
What should you do if you get frozen or frostbitten?

Especially Xier is so young, how can she stand the cold?
Gu Wei looked at the uncontrollable irritation on Li Ji's face and consoled him. "Sir, the young master and the prime minister are blessed by heaven, and they will surely be out of danger."

Li Ji waved his hand and stood up.

"Call Liang'er over to me."

Soon, Zhuge Liang hurried over, and before Zhuge Liang could open his mouth to ask.

Li Ji stood up and walked in front of Zhuge Liang, took off the Qinggang sword from his waist and handed it to him, saying.

"Liang'er, I will personally go to Nandun City to take charge. You will hold the sword and take charge of the city on my behalf. During this period, if there is any unusual movement in the city, anyone can be killed first and then reported."

Zhuge Liang quickly took the Qinggang sword with both hands and responded.

"Yes."

As for the rest, Li Ji did not say much, and he understood that Zhuge Liang knew very well what to do.

Soon, Li Ji met up with Xu Chu who had been waiting for a while, and under the protection of a group of tiger guards, they headed towards Nandun City, which was about fifty miles away from Ruyang.

When Li Ji arrived at Nandun City, the magistrate of Nandun County, who had learned the news in advance, was already waiting at the city gate with a group of officials from the county government, and these people were already covered with a thin layer of snow.

If we were to say who is the most frightened and worried person in the entire Yuzhou at this moment, it would undoubtedly be the magistrate of Nandun County.

Once anything happened to Adou and Li Xiang, the magistrate of Nandun County knew that even if his neck was as hard as iron, his head would definitely fall off immediately.

Therefore, even when the magistrate of Nandun County learned that several little ancestors had met with accidents in Nandun County, he was so frightened that he couldn't stop sweating in the middle of winter.

Even though the magistrate of Nandun County organized people to search for him immediately, he was so frightened that his legs went weak when he saw Guo Shihou rushing over from Ruyang City in the wind and snow.

According to convention, unless he was the one who found those little ancestors, the head of himself as the county magistrate would definitely be taken down to vent his anger.

However, what the Nandun County Magistrate did not expect was that after the weather-beaten Li Ji got off his horse, his first words to him who was waiting at the city gate were...

"Good work."

At this moment, the magistrate of Nandun County thought he was hallucinating and was stunned and unable to react.

It was not until Li Ji began to ask about the progress of the search in a hurried tone that the magistrate of Nandun County suddenly woke up as if from a dream and hurriedly answered.

The place where those little ancestors disappeared was not far to the south of Nandun County.

All the personnel who went south from Ruyang City to search would basically enter Nandun City for supplies or warming up.

Therefore, the magistrate of Nandun County was undoubtedly quite familiar with the search situation.

While listening to the report from the magistrate of Nandun County, Li Ji was extremely anxious, but he was still quite satisfied with the magistrate.

After such a major incident, the response of the Nandun County magistrate was truly remarkable, much better than that of many good-for-nothings.

However, as far as the results are concerned, no good news has been reported so far.

With tens of thousands of people searching within the area deduced by Li Ji, it should be impossible that no trace was found.

Immediately, surrounded by the magistrate of Nandun County and others, Li Ji walked to the map of Nandun County hanging in the county government office, looked at it for a while, and then spoke.

"If so, the county magistrate..."

"I'm here," the county magistrate replied quickly.

Li Ji said, "Hurry up and find someone in the city who is familiar with the location of the mountains outside the city. I suspect that Bofu has found a valley where the caravan can rest to avoid the cold in order to avoid the wind and snow."

The magistrate of Nandun County suddenly realized what was going on, and quickly arranged for capable yamen runners to take gongs and drums and beat them in the city, looking for someone who was familiar with the terrain.

Soon, with more than a dozen people who were familiar with the terrain as guides, Li Ji began searching within a much-expanded search area, mainly targeting those cold-sheltered places that could accommodate three thousand soldiers and horses.

News was continuously reported back.

Tens of thousands of people were searching in the snow, digging deep into the ground.

Under the city of Nanton, hot porridge and meat were provided to those who were looking for manpower without any pause for almost twelve hours.

During this period, several official documents were delivered from Ruyang City.

Li Ji took a quick glance at it and threw it aside.

After Li Ji and a large number of generals left Ruyang City, some little mice could not help but start jumping around, and were then dealt with by Zhuge Liang.

Finally, on the third day.

An exciting piece of news reached Nanton City.

found it!
It was found in a valley that was not marked on any map.

In other words, it must be a herbal farmer who had been there to collect herbs, otherwise it would not be easy to find that place.

When the found convoy slowly arrived at the gate of Nandun City, Li Ji was about to say something to Sun Ce who was coming to greet him, when a small ball suddenly rushed out from the carriage behind.

“Father!!”

Adou, who was wrapped up and looked round, rushed to Li Ji almost instantly with a flexibility that was not in line with his body shape, hugged Li Ji's thighs, and cried.

"Father, I thought I would never see you again..."

"It's okay, it's okay."

Li Ji squatted down and patted Adou on the back, then subconsciously picked up Adou as he did in the past and comforted him softly.

However, just when Li Ji picked up Adou, he suddenly felt a gaze.

Looking over there, I saw Li Xi standing on the carriage with a pouty mouth and eyes filled with tears. He looked at Li Ji who was holding A Dou with a face full of grievance and sadness.

Li Ji quickly pushed A Dou towards Sun Ce.

"what?"

Adou had just felt a bit of warmth from his father-in-law, and before he could start to savor it, he saw his father-in-law leaving him.

Li Ji quickly walked towards Li Xi, carefully held Li Xi, who was standing on the carriage, in his arms, and said with a distressed look on his face.

"Are you frightened, Xiao Xi'er? Don't be afraid."

"Daddy~"

Li Xi turned sadness into joy. She stretched out her little hands to grab the corner of Li Ji's clothes, revealing a tearful and joyful smile.

However, Li Ji felt extremely distressed when he saw Li Xilu's little hands turned red from the cold outside. While continuing to coax Li Xi, he quickly walked towards the warm city.

"father……"

Li Xiang, who had just got out of the carriage, subconsciously reached out in the direction of Li Ji, but he could only see Li Ji's back getting farther and farther away without stopping at all.

At this moment, a cold wind blew into Li Xiang's body through the gaps in his clothes, but Li Xiang felt that his heart was much colder than his body.

While Li Xiang was still in a daze, Sun Ren held a cloak and put it on Li Xiang, saying.

"Brother Xiang, please wear more clothes and be careful not to catch a cold."

In this snowy scene, Li Xiang turned his head and looked at Sun Ren, who was standing beside him with a beautiful face, and suddenly felt a little warm. (End of this chapter)
