"Xiao Hou, why do you have to follow me?"
On the Qikou road from Dingxiang, Li Jing, who was riding on a maroon horse, frowned. He had a headache and looked helplessly at the guy next to him who was wrapped like a ball!
If it can be described in modern terms: Li Jing must have had ten thousand grass and mud horses galloping past in his heart at this moment!
Knowing that this guy is a big trouble with thorns all over his body, how could he let him stick to him?
Beside him, Xiao Han turned a blind eye to Li Jing's disgusted eyes, and just rubbed his hands that were cold from the cold, and said with a smile: "I have fought with many generals in the army before, but I have always regretted that I never followed you, general. Study, study, it’s so hard to come across this time, how can you let this opportunity go?”
"I think you don't let go of the opportunity, but you don't let me go!" Li Jing's mouth twitched, and he cursed secretly in his heart, and then said to Xiao Han with some reluctance: "Ahem, I don't have anything worthy of Xiao Han. Hou Xue? In my opinion, there are many dangers in Mobei, so you should go to Shuofang City to stay temporarily. There is chaos in Qikou, what is there to see?"
With these words, Li Jing was already driving people away naked! Xiao Han couldn't continue to pretend to be confused now, so he could only lower his face and glare at him with an indignant look: "Are you trying to drive me away? It seems that you didn't say that when we made a bet a few days ago, right? "
"That's..." Li Jing's expression froze when Xiao Han stared at him, and he was speechless!
The bet Xiao Han was talking about was made four days ago when Li Jing and he set off to leave Dingxiang City.
At that time, Xiao Han was jumping up and down in front of Li Jing, boasting that under his governance, Dingxiang City had reached the point where no one would pick up lost items on the road and never close their doors at night!
Li Jing looked at his villainous appearance and almost got angry on the spot!
Good guy!
After he entered the city, in order to quell the various rebellions in Dingcheng, he came up with countless ways and used all the power he could mobilize to temporarily calm Dingxiang City.
But even so, various conflicts and assassinations would still break out in the city from time to time, making the Tang people walking in the city to be alert at every moment and beware of dangers that could come from everywhere.
But now Xiao Han dares to boast that the city is a peaceful and prosperous time? How many days have you only received it now? Doesn't this clearly mean that I am far worse than you?
His grandma's uncle couldn't bear it, but his aunt couldn't either!
So the enraged Li Jing slapped the table and made a bet with Xiao Han on the spot! I bet that after these people withdraw, there will be chaos in Xiangcheng in three days!
Of course, although Li Jing was very angry at the time, he was actually confident about this bet.
Because even though he had delegated power to Xiao Han, it was impossible for him to know nothing about what was going on in the city, not to mention that the commotion made by the police team was so great that it was difficult for him not to know even if he wanted to.
In Li Jing's expectation.
Without the threat of the army and the control of the Tang people, a city composed entirely of foreign races would definitely rise to the sky in less than a day!
Not to mention that this city has been tortured by Xiao Han's bad guys recently! I heard that the head-shaped view in front of a house is still standing there!
So a few days ago, after Xiao Han said that whoever loses would have to agree to a request, Li Jing agreed without even hesitating.
But Li Jing, who agreed so happily, forgot one thing: never bet with Xiao Han! Because so far, no one who has bet with him has won once!
Three high fives and the bet is established.
In order to make Xiao Han convinced of his defeat, Li Jing, who was full of confidence, deliberately left a few scouts outside Dingxiang City, so that they would know immediately if there were changes in the city.
However, Li Jing, who was always scheming against others, never expected that he and his people had been away for four days, and the news coming from Dingxiang City was that everything was still calm. Not to mention a rebellion in the city, there was not even a fight. The whole big city is just as peaceful and peaceful as Xiao Han said!
"Okay, since you must follow me, you must obey my orders at all times! If you dare to act privately, you will be dealt with by military law..."
Li Jing was a little angry, but with his temperament, he couldn't do anything dirty like breaking his promise to get rich, so in the end he could only throw a harsh word at Xiao Han and drive away angrily.
"Don't worry, I will definitely obey the general's order!" Xiao Han stuck out his tongue behind Li Jing and smiled slyly.
He is not stupid. He can just let Li Jing do things like charging into battle, which is what rough people do. He can squat in the back and get the credit while also taking care of Tang Jian. That's the best of both worlds!
Early spring in February.
Spring has already begun to bloom in the south, but the cold wind is still howling in the north.
Especially on the fourth day after Xiao Han and the others left Dingxiang City, the suddenly gloomy sky began to fall with fine snow from time to time.
The temperature dropped suddenly!
Xiao Han, who was mixed in the team, put on all his clothes, but still felt very cold. In the end, he could only try to tighten his sleeves and collar so that the heat on his body could be retained for as long as possible.
However, Xiao Han soon discovered that no matter how tightly he tightened his clothes, cold snow foam would still get in from every tiny gap! After just a few days' journey, he had developed many chilblains on his hands and face.
During this period, Li Jing made a special trip to see Xiao Han.
He thought that in such bad weather, the pampered Xiao Han would not be able to hold on for long and would return to Shuofang honestly.
But Li Jing, who was always good at predicting things on the battlefield, guessed wrong again. Xiao Han had no intention of going back even though his face was bruised by the cold and his teeth were chattering.
During the day, thousands of soldiers marched silently with their heads down.
At night, they camped on the spot and cuddled tightly together, just to feel a little warmth from each other.
It's so cold outside!
It was so cold that Xiao Han didn't even dare to ride a war horse for a long time. He could only ride for a while and then come down and walk for a while, otherwise his legs and feet would be completely frozen and necrotic by the low temperature due to long-term inactivity.
If the cold can be endured with gritted teeth, then the shortage of fuel can be really fatal!
Even Xiao Han couldn't figure out how much fuel an army of thousands of people would consume in a day.
What he knew was that many of Li Jing's men couldn't even take a sip of hot water!
Without firewood, they could only fill kettles with snow, hold it on their chests, wait for it to melt, and then carefully take a sip of the ice-crusted snow water.
But even so, no one in this team of thousands of people complained!
Perhaps they all understand at this time that the worse the weather outside, the greater their chances of winning this trip. When they return successfully this time, all the efforts will be worth it!
