There was a knock on the door outside the house. Yin Nan braved the cold wind and went out to open the door, letting in the little Dou who was as cold as a green radish.
Xiao Dou stood upright in the room and gave Mo Lingfeng an amount of food and grass: "General, Brother You asked me to deliver it."
In fact, he was shameless and rushed to make this trip.
After saying that, he turned to Yin Nan and smiled. When Mo Lingfeng lowered his head, he took out a steamed bun from his arms and quietly stuffed it into Yin Nan's hand.
Mo Lingfeng thought he was blind, and Xiao Dou did not dare to be too presumptuous in front of Mo Lingfeng. After passing through, he surrendered.
Mo Lingfeng looked at the number at a glance and put it on the table. Just as he was about to drink tea, he heard Xiao Dou's enthusiastic shouting from outside the courtyard door.
"Brother Bei is here! Brother Bei, it's hard to walk on the road."
Yin Bei was angry: "You do care about me."
"How can you not care?" Xiao Dou smiled with his face full of smiles, and the word "uncle" was about to come out. Yin Bei raised his legs and left angrily. He walked to the door with a strong momentum, swallowed the unknown fire, and stood outside the door. , said to the door curtain: "Girl."
"Come in."
Yin Bei opened the curtain and went in. Mo Lingfeng turned to look at him, and saw that his eyebrows, temples, and eyelashes were all covered with a layer of ice. His face was livid from the cold, and the fur he was wearing hardened into a leather tube. Every time he walked, With every step, the leather robe will make a twisting sound.
He awkwardly placed the bundle on the table. The heat in the room melted the snow on his body, making his clothes damp and stuffy.
He took off his hat, and white steam came out from the top of his head.
"Sit down and warm yourself by the fire." Mo Lingfeng held up the chopsticks and pulled away the charcoal fire. "It's not going to be good this year. My brother is afraid of the cold. When I come back, Li Yitie asked me to change the recipe. Have you changed it?"
"Changed it," Yin Bei sat down, took out the revised recipe, five tabloids, and a newspaper from his arms, handed it to Mo Lingfeng, and then warmed his stiff and cold hands, "Li Yitie said that Poria cocos can be made. Food, it’s cold, so you can add more.”
Mo Lingfeng read the prescription carefully and saw that two herbs were added to it, as well as an additional amount of Poria cocos, so he asked, "Brother, is it okay after taking this prescription?"
Yin Bei thought for a while: "It's still the same."
"That's good."
Yin Bei looked at Yin Nan and said to Mo Lingfeng, "Girl..."
Mo Lingfeng waved his hand to Yin Nan: "Get out."
She reached out to open a tabloid and glanced at it twice: "Tell me."
Yin Bei said in a low voice: "Girl, can you tell the man named Dou to stay away from Anan?"
He coughed: "This... this stupid big guy is really..."
Mo Lingfeng smiled and said, "Can Xiao Dou still be stupid enough to pass Yin Nan?"
Yin Bei scratched his head: "Two people are not stupid."
Mo Liefeng changed the tabloid and said while reading: "If you are not smart, you are lucky to be not smart. Besides, with me here, she will not suffer any loss."
She turned a page and said, "Keep your home safe for me. I know Yin Nan's affairs well."
Yin Bei was a little depressed, feeling as if he had been raped by a pig. He stood up and said, "Then I will sue..."
"Wait!" Mo Leifeng suddenly clenched the tabloid in his right hand, his pupils vibrated, and the color on his face receded with a "swish".
The tabloids collected reports on various fires last month, including the fire at the Ningzhou Tongpan Mansion Office.
She hurriedly flipped through the tabloids, trying to find other news. She flipped through several tabloids with a clatter, but did not see any other related articles.
Putting down a few tabloids, she immediately picked up the Di newspaper and read it carefully. When she saw the emperor's thorough investigation into the corruption of the Ningzhou Shipping Department, she realized that something was wrong.
With her heart pounding in her chest, she looked at the letter from Wu Jin and speculated on what had happened recently.
Wu Jin took advantage of the corruption in the Ningzhou City Shipping Department, and was discovered by the officials of the City Shipping Department. On the ninth day of November, Ningzhou Tongpan Mansion was burned down.
Fortunately, Wu Jin survived and delivered the evidence to Kyoto by express delivery.
The emperor ordered Wu Jin to go to Shuozhou to control the locust plague and avoid the disaster. Wu Jin went to Shuozhou on November 20th.
On November 26, the emperor was furious during the morning court and ordered everyone from the Bosi Department of Ningzhou City to be taken to Yushitai Prison in Kyoto for thorough investigation.
The heavy snowfall blocked this series of news and buried the rights and wrongs of Ningzhou officialdom. The letter Wu Jin finally sent did not mention a word about it.
He only missed Kuanzhou and worried about the heavy snow. He seemed to think that a fire was nothing compared to the rare heavy snow in Kuanzhou.
Mo Lingfeng smoothed out the tabloids and newspapers, placed them neatly on the table, and also sorted out his thoughts.
"How far is Shuozhou from here?"
Yin Bei thought for a while: "Nearly six hundred miles."
Mo Lingfeng pondered for a moment and said: "A fast horse can run one hundred and eighty miles in a day. Now that the road is blocked by heavy snow, the fast horse may only be able to run a hundred miles in a day. What if we don't take the official road and take a shortcut?"
"Shuozhou is very mountainous," Yin Bei carefully recalled the shortcut he once took with Qianzhuang. "If you take the mountain, you can save half the distance, but it may have snowed in Shuozhou now. If the snow is too thick in the mountains, On the contrary, it is not as easy as going through official channels."
Mo Lingfeng reached out and touched the letter written by Wu Jin. There was no mention of the heavy snowfall in Shuozhou.
She took pen, ink, paper and inkstone from the compartment, added water to rub out the frozen ink, dipped a stroke of ink in it, and handed it to Yin Bei: "Draw it down and be careful."
Yin Bei quickly took the pen, not daring to be careless, and started painting.
After he finished the painting, Mo Lingfeng leaned over and took a closer look. He saw that the painting was crooked and the words were written like a convulsion. Fortunately, it was very detailed and he even drew out where there were deviations.
She praised: "The painting is good, not bad."
When Yin Bei was elated, he asked, "Are you going to Shuozhou?"
Mo Lingfeng nodded, walked to the door, and told Yin Nan to call Nomad Qing.
Yin Bei stopped smiling and said solemnly: "The road is not easy to walk. Even if you take a shortcut, it will take three days to get there. It is not safe to go out, so let me go. What do you want to do?"
Mo Lingfeng waved his hand: "I'll take Yin Nan with me and we'll travel day and night. Go to Li Yi Tie Pharmacy and buy three bottles of burn plaster - buy as many as you need. Prepare enough water to get to Shuozhou and wait for me at the city gate. .”
Yin Bei was worried, and knowing that Mo Lingfeng had no control over him, he quickly responded and ran out like an arrow from a string.
Mo Lingfeng collected Wu Jin's letter and put it into the box. He also put away a bunch of tabloids and other items on the table. He went to the backyard to take off his soft armor, put on thick clothes, leather boots, and a long coat that reached the top of his feet. He put on his fox fur and fur hat and walked to the front yard.
The Nomad Minister had already arrived. Looking at Mo Lingfeng dressed up like this, he asked, "Are you going home?"
"Yin Nan, go change clothes," Mo Lingfeng inserted a sharp knife into his waist, "I will take Yin Nan out for a trip. He will return within five days. If anyone has any objections while I am away, kill him."
Since the truce, she has returned to the city frequently, but this time it took a little longer. The Nomad Qing didn't think much about it and nodded in response: "That Qiang man said he wanted bows and arrows."
"No," Mo Lefeng refused, "Give him a knife and practice with you."
"yes."
Mo Lingfeng and Yin Nan were properly dressed, with their hands wrapped in fur covers. Without any personal soldiers, they left the stronghold and plunged into the wind and snow.
