The team starting from the imperial capital rushed all the way, day and night.
The wind and snow continued, and the face was cut like a knife along the way. Gu Jiuge Qingjun's brows and eyes seemed to be frozen.
Except for occasionally asking Hou Yufu whether he was cold or not, there was no extra action.
Yufu is not cold.
Before she went out, Aunt Li and the maids wrapped her up in layers, with a large fox fur cloak on the outermost part.
Her whole portrait was wrapped in a ball, and she just hoped that she wouldn't roll off Gu Jiuge right away.
If it rolls to the ground, it is estimated that it will not stop.
"Are you hungry?"
Gu Jiuge's voice came from the top of his head, and Yu supported something, and his muffled muffled voice was inaudible through the thick cloak.
She stretched out her hand to pull the cloak away from her face, exposing a small hot face and exhaling a big white breath.
"I'm not hungry, I can continue walking."
The cloak was so boring, she didn't show her face anymore, she was suffocated before she died of coldness.
Marching to the outside of Suzhou City, the night was deep, and Gu Jiuge stopped the horse.
"There is no moon tonight. It is not safe to march on a snowy night. It is better to rest here and wait for the dark clouds to clear before continuing on the road."
The march was lightning fast, and while he was concerned about Gu Shubai, he was also worried that his team would have trouble first.
Fortunately, these five hundred cavalry were well-trained and even had more experience in marching than him. They came all the way to the territory of Suzhou Mansion without incident.
Only—
Gu Jiuge took Jade down from the horse with his own hands.
"Is it exhausted? Does it hurt? You don't know how to ride a horse. If you sit on a horse and run so fast, you must be hurt all over."
Yufu jumped to the ground, took down his medicine box first, and checked the medicine bottle inside.
I heard Lang Dang's sound all the way, and she was afraid that the medicine bottle on the horse's back would be shattered. Fortunately, it was fine.
"It doesn't matter to me, as long as these medicine bottles are not broken."
In fact, her limbs were so painful that she was numb. When she reached out to check the medicine bottle, she trembled slightly, and Gu Jiuge saw her in her eyes.
Since she refused to admit it, he would not expose it at all.
"Sit down and eat some dry food."
The soldiers hurriedly started a fire, boiled the snow into water, and ate the dry food with hot water.
It was too hard to chew, so he soaked the dry food in water and stuffed it into his mouth.
The posture is really indecent, and there is no way at this time.
Following their example, Yufu broke the dry food into small pieces and threw it into his mouth, as if it contained a small stone, and then quickly brought hot water.
Gu Jiuge snatched it away, "Isn't you afraid of burning your mouth when you just boiled water? You don't even feel your hands because of the cold, and you can't feel such hot water in your hands."
He handed the wine pouch he had handed to Yufu, "Hey, this wine is warm, but the whole body will warm up after drinking it."
Wine...
Yufu hesitated, she had never had a drink before.
"Master said that children can't drink, I'd better wait until the water is cooler before drinking."
"He is talking about the spoiled little child in the Immortal Valley, not the Yufu who is now marching with a group of soldiers on the snowy night. If you don't drink it, you will have to freeze it in the middle of the night."
In the wilderness, there is snow all over the sky, and there are gusts of cold wind.
This kind of cold cannot be blocked by any fur, it must be warmed from the inside out.
Yufu looked behind him, and the soldiers were also passing the wine pouches, one of them pouring a sip with their heads upside down.
It is the rule of the Gu Jiajun to not drink alcohol in the military until it is celebrated. Everyone has broken this rule today.
It can be seen that Gu Jiuge's words are not sensational, but facts.
Yufu bit his lip, grabbed the wine pouch in his hand, raised his head and took a big mouthful.
"Ahem..."
It was so spicy that her tears flowed out.
The soldiers looked at her with a relieved smile.
Gu Jiuge hurriedly handed her a bowl of water, and patted her back smoothly with the other hand.
Yufu drank a large bowl of water, but his throat was still too hot.
"Second brother, I... my voice?"
Oops, she had never drunk such a strong wine before, and her immature voice was burnt hoarse.
Gu Jiuge raised her eyebrows and held her hand, finally not shaking.
"Are you full? Put on your clothes when you're full, don't freeze."
There was no shelter in the wilderness. He could only let Yu lean against a big rock to avoid the wind, and with a big hand waved his cloak, he blocked her under him.
The thickly wrapped Yufu showed a small face, his face was red, and the wine he had just drunk turned into heat.
She was dizzy by the heat, her eyelids getting heavier and heavier, slowly closing...
When she woke up again, the sky was dawning, and she was already on the cusp.
"Second brother, where are we?"
"I will be in Changzhou soon."
Gu Jiuge looked down at her with a smile, "You're drunk and haven't woken up all the way. The first time I saw someone who could sleep so soundly right away, it seemed that the wine was not drunk in vain."
Yufu shook his head, took off the cap of the cloak, and tried to clear the air.
"It took us a day and a night to reach Changzhou, so fast. Big brother and they must be still waiting for us, we will definitely find them!"
As she spoke, she took out a small brocade box from her arms and opened it carefully.
