The team that set out from the imperial capital worked fast all the way, without resting day and night.
The wind and snow did not stop, and the road was like a knife cutting the face, Gu Jiuge's handsome eyebrows and eyes seemed to be frozen.
Apart from occasionally asking Hou Yufu if he was cold, there was no unnecessary action.
Yu Fu is not cold.
Before she went out, Aunt Li and the maids wrapped her up layer by layer, and put a big fox fur cloak on the outside.
Her whole body was wrapped in a ball, she just hoped that she wouldn't immediately roll off Gu Jiuge.
If it rolled to the ground, it probably wouldn't be able to stop.
"Are you hungry?"
Gu Jiuge's voice came from the top of his head, and Yu Fu responded with something, muffled through the thick cloak, so people couldn't hear clearly.
She stretched out her hand vigorously to push the cloak off her face, revealing her warm little face, and exhaled a big breath of white air.
"I'm not hungry, I can continue walking."
It was too stuffy in the cloak, and if she didn't show her face, she would suffocate to death before dying of cold.
Marching outside the city of Suzhou, Gu Jiuge reined in his horse when the night was dark.
"There is no moon tonight, and it is not safe to march on a snowy night. It is better to rest here temporarily and continue on the road after the dark clouds clear."
The march was as fast as lightning, and while he was worried about Gu Shubai and the two, he was also worried that something would happen to his team first.
Fortunately, these 500 cavalrymen were well-trained and even had more marching experience than him, so there was no accident all the way to Suzhou Prefecture.
Only—
Gu Jiuge took Yu Fu off the horse with his own hands.
"Are you tired? Does your body hurt? You don't know how to ride a horse. If you run so fast while sitting on a horse, your whole body must hurt."
Yu Fu jumped to the ground, first took down his own medicine box, and checked the medicine bottles inside.
Along the way, she kept hearing loud noises, and she was afraid that the medicine bottle on the horse's back would be shattered, but luckily everything was fine.
"It doesn't matter to me, as long as these medicine bottles are not broken."
In fact, her limbs were already numb from the pain, and she trembled slightly when she reached out to check the medicine bottle, Gu Jiuge noticed it.
Since she refused to admit it, he simply didn't expose it.
"Sit down and eat some dry food."
The soldiers quickly built a fire, boiled the snow into water, and ate dry food with the hot water.
It was too hard to chew on, so I soaked the dry food in water and stuffed it whole into my mouth to satisfy my hunger.
The posture is really indecent, and there is nothing to do at this time.
Yufu imitated their example, broke the dry food into small pieces and threw them into the mouth, as if holding a small stone in his mouth, and then quickly picked up hot water.
Gu Jiuge snatched it away with his hands, "Aren't you afraid of scalding your mouth with freshly boiled water? You're so cold that you don't even feel your hands, and you can't feel such hot water in your hands."
He handed his handy wine pouch to Yu Fu, "Here, this wine is warm, but it will warm you up after drinking it."
wine...
Yu Fu was a little hesitant, she had never drunk before.
"Master said children can't drink alcohol, I'd better wait until the water is colder before drinking."
"He's talking about the pampered children in Immortal Valley, not Yufu who is now marching with a group of soldiers on a snowy night. If you don't drink, you will freeze to death in the middle of the night."
In the wilderness, it was snowing all over the sky, and there were gusts of cold wind.
This kind of cold cannot be blocked by any fur, it must be warmed from the inside out.
Yu Fu looked behind and saw that the soldiers were passing the wine bags, and each of them poured a sip into his mouth with his head raised.
The army is not allowed to drink alcohol unless it is to celebrate the victory. This is the rule of the Gu family army, and everyone has broken this rule today.
It can be seen that Gu Jiuge's words are not sensational, but facts.
Yu Fu bit her lip, snatched the wine bag from his hand, raised her head and took a big gulp.
"Ahem..."
It was so hot that she burst into tears.
All the soldiers looked at her and showed a gratified smile.
Gu Jiuge hurriedly handed over the water bowl, and patted her back with the other hand to let her breathe, "It will be fine in a while, it will be fine in a while, the stronger the wine, the warmer it is."
Yu Fu Gulu Gulu drank a large bowl of water, but his throat was still unbearably hot.
"Second brother, my... my voice?"
Too bad, she has never drank such a strong wine, and her immature throat was burnt hoarse.
Gu Jiuge raised his eyebrows, held her hand, and finally stopped shaking.
"Are you full? Put your clothes back on when you're full, so you don't get cold."
There is no shelter in the wilderness, so he can only let Yufu lean against a big rock to avoid the wind, and wave his cloak with his big hand to block her under him.
The thickly wrapped Yufu exposed a small face, which was flushed red, and the wine he just drank had turned into steam.
She was dizzy from the heat, her eyelids became heavier and heavier, and they slowly closed...
When she woke up again, at dawn, she was already on the horse.
"Second brother, where have we been?"
"We'll be in Changzhou soon."
Gu Jiuge smiled and looked down at her, "You were drunk, and you didn't wake up all the way. It's the first time I've seen someone who can sleep so soundly on a horse. It seems that the wine was not in vain."
Yu Fu shook his head, took off the hood of his cloak, trying to wake up a bit.
"It took us a day and a night to arrive in Changzhou, so fast. The big brothers must still be waiting for us, and we will definitely find them!"
As she spoke, she took out a small brocade box from her bosom and opened it carefully.
