"Anyway, I won't think that way!" Lin Hai laughed, his nose still running.
Chuntao suddenly remembered her mission in the military camp: "I am so happy to see the queen, I almost forgot the serious business."
Rong Changan was also about to ask why Chuntao came: "Did the emperor ask you to come?"
Chuntao nodded, and then faced the inner guard behind: "Take down the emperor's gift!"
The inner guard took out the box from the bag on the horse, and Chuntao held the box in both hands and handed it to Chang'an.
"This is a gift the emperor asked me to give you."
After staying in the palace for so long, Yan Li almost never gave her a gift, but today it was so grand that Chuntao personally delivered it! She wanted to see what was inside the box.
A small key opens a small lock, and the moment the lid is opened, thousands of rays of light shine directly into the eyes.
"What kind of gift is it? It's so shiny!" Lin Hai's eyes widened, "Could it be some night pearl?"
"Wow, it's so beautiful! It looks like a thong!" Chuntao had never seen the things in the box before, and she didn't expect it to be so shiny.
Rong Changan picked it up, it was shining golden.
"It's a vest, worn on the body, it can avoid knives, guns and arrows!" Lin Hai's eyes also lit up, and he was full of admiration.
Chuntao couldn't stop praising: "It's really a rare and good treasure. The emperor is really a caring person. He knows that the queen is in danger in fighting outside. If I send you such a vest, the queen will be invulnerable and victorious in every battle!"
Rong Chang'an's face was full of happiness: "There is no one in the world who is invulnerable to swords and guns. Those who are invulnerable to swords and guns are gods."
Chuntao grinned: "My servant thinks that the queen is a god, not only is she beautiful, she is also very good at fighting. May I ask, where can I find such a person among mortals!"
"You!" The corner of Rong Chang'an's mouth curled into a pampering smile, stretched out his slender bamboo shoots, and nodded to Chun Tao's forehead, "You have such a powerful mouth, no wonder Zi Yan hit you, you stole her limelight!"
Chuntao was even more delighted: "Ah, ah, ah! The empress and the emperor really understand each other, they speak the same way!"
Rong Chang'an was puzzled: "It's the same no matter how I talk to the emperor?"
Chun Tao smiled: "The emperor also said to me that Zi Yan wanted to hit me because of my mouth! You both have the same caliber, hmph, no wonder you want to become husband and wife, one queen and one emperor, daring love is a match made in heaven." Right!"
Rong Changan felt warm in his heart: "It's not that I have the same caliber as the emperor, it's that your mouth is really powerful, anyone who listens to you can hear it!"
The two hadn't seen each other for a few days, and when they met, they talked a lot, and they talked all the way to the tent.
In the evening, the military horn hummed, Rong Changan set up a table of food and wine, ate with Chuntao, and told each other the things that had been pent up in their stomachs for the past few days. After eating, Chuntao fell asleep in Rong Changan's military tent with her clothes on.
After a few days, the north wind was really strong, and at dusk, a heavy snow fell. The last snow hadn’t melted yet, but now it’s snowing again. There’s no river for the river, no bridge for the bridge, no trees for the trees. There’s only a white world.
It was this snow that Rong Changan was waiting for, and informed all the leaders to come to her camp to discuss matters. Rong Changan pointed to the picture and said:
"Right now, Pan Meichen's supplies are tight, and the morale of the army is weak. It's snowing heavily at this time, and he has no fighting spirit. If we catch him by surprise tonight, we will definitely defeat Pan Meichen's rebels."
In the past few days, staying every day without fighting, many leaders are feeling a little uncomfortable.
"Hit the fuck! Drive Pan Meichen out of Waqiao Pass!"
"It's not to drive him out of Waqiao Pass, but to capture him, bring him back to the capital, and behead him for public display!"
"General, just say, what should we do!"
Rong Changan was very happy to hear that the leaders were fighting high.
"In that case, everyone obey my orders!"
Then, Rong Chang'an deployed troops, some stayed behind in the camp, and some were led by Lin Hai, to attack the southwest of Pan Meichen's camp and attract the main force of the rebel army.
"In order to prevent the rebels from seeing us marching, everyone removed the white bedding, made cloaks, and put them on."
Some leaders questioned: "If all the bedding is removed, how will the soldiers sleep in the future?"
Rong Chang'an said: "We will definitely defeat Pan Meichen in this battle. They have more quilts, mattresses, and tents!"
The leader scratched the back of his head and smiled: "Yes, why didn't I think of it!"
Lin Hai grinned mockingly: "If you think of it, it's not Queen Rong who will be our coach, but you!"
All the leaders laughed.
Chuntao knew that Rong Changan was going to lead the army to fight, so she brought the gown over: "Queen, put on the gown! That guy Pan Meichen, no matter how good his arrow skills are, you can't help it!"
Chuntao didn't say anything, but Rong Changan forgot. Taking the beanie, she rubbed her hand lightly on it, as if what she was rubbing was not the vest, but Yan Li's face.
All the leaders withdrew from the military tent, and Chuntao put on the vest for Rong Changan. The sky gradually darkened.
"Queen, be careful outside! I will read the Bodhisattva scriptures for you here."
Rong Changan smiled: "I have also read scriptures in the Buddhist hall for many years. The Bodhisattva is reluctant to let me die! You warmed the wine for me in the army tent. Maybe I will come back before the wine is cold!"
It was completely dark, and Rong Changan and Lin Hai led the troops to set off. Take the trail all the way to the northeast, and take the trail all the way to the southwest. The generals all wore cloaks made of quilts, and in the dark night, they were mixed with the white snow, and they were indistinguishable at all.
It is really God's blessing that the Jinghe River is frozen, and people and horses can barely walk across it without splashing water and freezing their feet.
Seeing the snow in the sky, Pan Meichen felt worried. She took two guards and carried an ax symbolizing power. The handle of the ax was inlaid with gold and jade, and patrolled the camp.
The snow fell hard, trapping the tent deeply. Many soldiers couldn't stand the cold, so they sat around to warm up the fire. The bonfire couldn't drive away all the cold. The front was warm, but the back was cold. Many soldiers were trembling, and their upper and lower rows of teeth were chattering.
"At this time, if there is a jug of strong wine, it will be exciting!"
"Is one jar of spirits enough? I'm as frozen as a piece of ice now. If there is wine, I'll drink ten jars!"
"You guys have such a good idea, there is wine for you to drink! Don't talk about wine, now there is almost no food!"
"Your Majesty wants us to hold out for half a month. It's freezing cold, how can we endure it for so long! Sleeping in a military tent at night is like sleeping in an ice cellar. You can't sleep at all!"
"Damn it, those ordinary people drove all the pigs, cattle, sheep, etc. to the south bank. Today I took more than two hundred soldiers and went to the village to copy. The village was empty. There was nothing left, not even cow dung. piece!"
Cow dung is of great use at this time. It is dried to make charcoal fire and placed under the camp bed to keep it warm. Picking up a piece of cow dung is the same as picking up a piece of gold ingot.
A soldier slashed the machete in his hand to the ground: "Damn it, I don't know when this life will end! I really don't want to do it anymore!"
"Hush!" Another soldier put his finger on his mouth and looked around, "Don't be so loud, if the king hears it, it will be a disaster!"
"What are you afraid of!" The soldier was furious, feeling that staying here for a while would be a torment, "I'm telling the truth!"
