There were dark clouds and strong winds, and it was already night. The smooth and stable ice surface was like a huge mirror, and all the Qilin Guards set up tents on this huge mirror, and everyone was resting inside!
There is no need to expect high beds and soft pillows. Everyone is the same. Thick straw mats are spread on the ice. Everyone lies on them with their clothes on, and then covers them with a quilt. There is an iron pot in each military tent. Inside the pot was some burning charcoal!
There is almost no warmth, but it can only guarantee that people will not freeze to death. The biggest function of these charcoal is to look at the plum blossoms and quench thirst! The biggest advantage of resting on the ice as far as the eye can see is that there is no need to stand guard, everyone can rest, after all, no one will come to take a walk in this ice and snow!
People like Zhao Xuanyi, Zhu Wenyu and others will be treated better. Putting a mattress on top of the straw mat and covering them with a quilt after lying down is considered the highest level of treatment!
Today is the first night that Zhao Xuanyi led the army to spend the night on the ice. After Shen Wei prepared all the items, he added a few more pieces of charcoal to the charcoal brazier on the side: "Young Master, it's getting late, let's rest! "
Zhao Xuanyi looked at the map in his hand by the light of the candle, "We didn't take the wrong route today, did we?" Marching on this endless ice surface, there is no reference object, and there is no compass. The way to judge the direction is to look at the sun during the day and at night. Stars!
Fortunately, Nangong Che and the others set off first two days ago, leaving Zhao Xuanyi with the Qilin Guards' code along the way. This allowed Zhao Xuanyi to follow the vanguard's safe route and save a lot of trouble!
"We have been following the marks today, we should not go wrong!" Shen Wei said.
"Well, now that we're on the ice, I can't even tell the direction. Don't go wrong. If you accidentally go to the Korean side, it will be bad!"
Shen Wei laughed after hearing enough, "If we really encounter one, why not take action directly? Those armies piled up with sand are just for us to practice!"
"Don't make trouble. Although the fighting power of Korea is not as good as Japan, it is not worthwhile to waste time on them, and it will make the brothers waste their energy!"
"Yes! I was just kidding!"
At this time, a woman's voice came from outside the tent, "Uncle, are you asleep?"
When Zhao Xuanyi heard it, it was Li Zhi's voice saying "Come in!"
Lychee walked into Zhao Xuanyi's tent, and Xinyu immediately smiled, "What? Have you figured it out? Are you here to warm my bed? Come here!"
Lychee's face turned red, "Don't make fun of me, Miss, let you pass!"
"Ah? Come over there? Do you want to see me for anything in the middle of the night?"
"You'll know when you get there, I'll leave first!" After saying this, Li Zhi left as if running away!
Zhao Xuanyi and Shen Wei looked at each other, and Shen Wei hurriedly shook his head, "I didn't say anything about last night!"
"What else could it be because of?" Zhao Xuanyi was puzzled. Then he got up and walked out of his tent and came to Li Hanyan's tent. After entering, he saw that a very short bed had been spread on the ground. It's actually just a simple bed made of some wooden boards nailed together! There was a thick mattress on it, and Li Hanyan, Qinglian and Lychee were sitting aside!
"Daughter-in-law, what happened? What do you want me to do at this time?"
Li Hanyan looked at Zhao Xuanyi and said, "Go to bed!"
"..." Zhao Xuanyi swore that when these words came out of Li Hanyan's mouth, he had never thought about it. It was a voice from outside the world. "Is it bad for me to sleep here with you?"
"Can you sleep on a straw mattress? Are you afraid of freezing? This bed is big enough for the two of us!"
Zhao Xuanyi looked at the two beds on the floor and smiled, "My wife is nice to me, so I won't be polite!" Zhao Xuanyi walked to the bed, took off his boots, and lay directly on it. There was no need to take off his clothes. In this icy world, if you take off your clothes, you will be frozen into an ice sculpture!
Li Hanyan took a sip of hot tea and said, "Okay, you two, stop being busy and go to sleep!"
"Yes!" Qinglian and Lizhi stood up. The two girls walked to the other bed, took off their combat boots, lay on it, covered themselves with quilts and began to rest!
"..." Zhao Xuanyi greeted him with a look on his face. There are two beds in the room. The two of you lie together and you sleep on one bed. Where is Li Hanyan going? Just when Zhao Xuanyi was confused, Li Hanyan walked to Zhao Xuanyi's bed and took off his combat boots.
"Go a little further in!" Li Hanyan said.
"Okay!" Zhao Xuanyi moved inside. Li Hanyan lay directly next to Zhao Xuanyi, pulled her quilt to cover her, and then flicked her jade hand, and a stone extinguished the burning fire. The room was pitch black!
It took Zhao Xuanyi a full minute to realize that he and Li Hanyan were sleeping in the same bed? What's going on? When did Li Hanyan become so gentle? Are you still worried about whether you will be cold? Did you even find yourself here to sleep with? real or fake?
Wow, it feels like a dream! Zhao Xuanyi pulled away Li Hanyan's quilt, and Li Hanyan immediately grabbed Zhao Xuanyi's hand, "What are you doing?"
"Sleep under the quilt!" Zhao Xuanyi said.
"Don't you have it yourself? It's your own fault!"
"We are already an old couple, why are you so polite? Let's cover it up together, it will be warmer if we cover it in two layers!" Zhao Xuanyi spread his quilt on top of Li Hanyan's quilt, and then got into Li Hanyan's quilt!
"Don't push yourself too far!"
"You haven't taken off your clothes, what are you thinking about all day? Go to bed quickly, we have to travel tomorrow!" Zhao Xuanyi said with a smile, then hugged Li Hanyan's waist and held Li Hanyan tightly in his arms to rest!
Li Hanyan's face turned red, and she didn't know whether she was shy or angry. Seeing Zhao Xuanyi really resting, Li Hanyan closed her eyes and rested after a tiring day!
Zhao Xuanyi was so excited. He had been married to Li Hanyan for almost six years. It was the first time he slept with his wife. If it wasn't too cold, he would have taken off his clothes!
At this moment, Shen Wei was still waiting in Zhao Xuanyi's tent, wondering what the eldest lady and the young master were saying? Why haven't you come back after so long? what's the situation?
At dawn, a burst of chaotic voices woke up Zhao Xuanyi. He slowly opened his eyes and saw Li Hanyan's face in front of him. Only then did Zhao Xuanyi remember that he and Li Hanyan slept together last night, and his mood instantly became better. stand up!
He turned around and looked, and saw that the two girls on the other bed had disappeared. He didn't know what they were busy with. The beauty in his arms moved. Zhao Xuanyi turned around and found that Li Hanyan had woken up.
Zhao Xuanyi showed a bright smile, "Okay?"
"Well! What time is it?" Li Hanyan asked.
"It's not time to set off yet, otherwise they will definitely come and wake us up!" After Zhao Xuanyi finished speaking, he lowered his head and kissed Li Hanyan on the cheek.
"Did you sleep well yesterday?"
Li Hanyan immediately blushed with embarrassment and nodded indifferently. Zhao Xuanyi slowly sat up and said, "Get up. I'm going to see what delicious food the prince has made?" Zhao Xuanyi put on his boots and left!
And Li Hanyan was lying on the bed and didn't wake up for a long time!
Zhao Xuanyi had just walked out of the tent and saw Shen Wei standing outside with two dark circles under his eyes. Zhao Xuanyi was very surprised when he saw it, "Brother Shen, didn't you sleep well?"
"No, I didn't sleep!" Shen Wei gritted his teeth and said.
"What are you doing up late at night?"
"I'm waiting for you to scream in agony so that I can collect your body for you! I didn't expect that you actually walked out of the madam's tent alive!"
"Ah, hahaha! Han Yan was afraid of the cold inside my big tent, so she asked me to come over and sleep with her. She brought a bed, so she didn't have to sleep on a cold straw mat!"
When Shen Wei heard this, he realized that this was what happened, so he frowned and looked at Zhao Xuanyi, "Then why didn't you let someone inform me? Do you know that I was worried that you didn't sleep all night? What the hell!" Shen Wei grabbed Zhao Xuanyi shouted the collar.
"Don't, don't, don't... don't be angry. Isn't it a good thing that Han Yan and I are getting along? I'll take you back to lie on the sledge to make up for it. Wear more clothes!" Zhao Xuanyi opened Shen Wei's hand and ran towards Zhu Wenyu's tent. !
After coming in, he asked about the smell of mutton. Zhao Xuanyi smiled, "Brother Qi, that's okay! Do you have mutton soup early in the morning?"
"You are smelling
It tastes good, right? Zhu Wenyu said with a smile.
"That's about it, Miss Lan, go and call my wife to eat and play together!"
"Sure!" Lan Chuyin turned around and walked out!
Zhao Xuanyi saw that only himself and Zhu Wenyu were left in the tent, and then he said, "Sister Qi, can you survive this life?"
"No problem! I remember when I was on the rivers and lakes, I could just find a cave in the winter and deal with it. Now there are charcoal and quilts here, which is great!"
"Sure, I'm not as squeamish as those people! But having said that, walking on this ice is much slower than I thought! I thought I could walk 150 kilometers in one day, but after a day of running yesterday, I realize that we have traveled less than 130 miles!"
Zhu Wenyu also nodded, "It's much more difficult than we thought, especially when we told all the soldiers that water must be used sparingly. No one should wash their face or feet before arriving in Japan. Once the water is gone, it will be troublesome." Already!"
"We can use snow to turn water into water!"
"What if we go to a snow-free area? Then the ice will be seawater and you can't drink it at all! Of course, there is snow around now, so try to collect some!"
"Yes! Brother Qi is still thoughtful!" Zhao Xuanyi said, raising his thumb.
After collecting all the items, tens of thousands of people set foot on the route again, but the snowy ground was really difficult to walk on. The wind was howling, and the cold snow kept blowing, hitting the ice one after another. , looked like waves on the sea, and seeing this scene, Zhu Wenyu only said one sentence, "This is Xuelang!"
Zhao Xuanyi smiled, thinking that this was the first time he saw Xuelang, he had always seen waves before! It’s really better to travel thousands of miles than to read thousands of books. You can see everything!
During the day, everyone looked at the sun and the coordinates left by the vanguard on the ground, and kept moving forward. Fortunately, most of the roads were covered with snow, which also allowed the war horses to run. If they encountered a place full of ice, they would have to be beaten. Slow down suddenly to prevent your horse from falling!
Five days in a row passed, and the march was very boring. Every day when I woke up, I was on the road, and at night, I rested. However, these days of marching made all the Qilin Guards miserable!
No matter how far you walk every day, when you wake up the next day, you will find that your surroundings seem to be exactly the same as the place you woke up yesterday, and you can't see any changes at all. This can't help but cause problems with people's vision. Some people even have Illusion, is so much innocence really moving forward? Isn't it just spinning in circles?
Zhao Xuanyi himself is a little tired of aesthetics. The scene in front of him is the same every day when he wakes up. This kind of walking without reference is simply an endless pressure on the spirit!
Presumably, Zhu Wenyu, Shen Wei and others are better off. After all, they have been in the world for many years, and they can still withstand this kind of pressure! Shen Wei found that Zhao Xuanyi's eyes were a little blurred, and he was even in a trance. He took out a silk scarf from his arms and covered Zhao Xuanyi's eyes directly!
"Huh? Brother Shen, what are you doing?" Zhao Xuanyi asked.
"Don't look at the road, just follow us. You have never walked through this remote no man's land. Your ability to withstand psychological pressure is not as strong as you think. I'm afraid you won't be able to bear it and will be very uncomfortable in the end. As long as you don't look It'll be fine!" Shen Wei said.
After putting on the silk scarf, Zhao Xuanyi felt better. If he continued to look at this no man's land, he might vomit!
Shen Wei looked at Tang Tianli and said, "Go ahead and tell everyone not to look left or right, only look at the person in front. Don't fall behind!"
"Yes!" Tang Tianli hurriedly went to deliver the order!
After walking aimlessly for another day, at night, Zhao Xuanyi had already formed muscle memory and went directly to Li Hanyan's tent and got into Li Hanyan's bed!
