Nuan Nuan and Nalan Jinnian left the banquet first.
On a winter night, the north wind blew, blowing a biting cold on my face.
Nalan Jinnian put his hands on Nuan Nuan's shoulders, hugged her, and put more than half of his coat on her body to protect her from the cold.
Nuan Nuan asked him in a low voice about burning the enemy's food and grass.
He answered carefully.
It was not difficult for Nalan Jinnian to silently carry a barrel of oil, sneak into the enemy camp where the army had left, and burn the enemy's food and grass.
Nuan Nuan glanced at the bright moon in the sky, with a slight smile on his face: "In today's battle, we killed one hundred thousand enemy troops and burned three enemy granaries. The first battle severely damaged the enemy's morale. This is considered a good thing." Here we are! Beiming Kingdom has really lost its food and troops! By the way, am I strong enough?"
"Yeah. Amazing!" Nalan Jinnian raised the corner of his mouth slightly and glanced down at the person in his arms. The woman had a clear smile and curved eyebrows, which were brighter and more eye-catching than the moonlight in the sky.
Nalan Jinnian couldn't look away. He tightened his hand around her shoulders, stretched out his other hand and pinched her pretty nose: "Watch the road."
"I've seen it!" Nuan Nuan touched his nose, which was cold.
Nalan Jinnian laughed. He was actually reminding himself to watch the road!
But there was no explanation. He smiled and responded: "Yeah."
Wen Nuan continued: "Now that the enemy army in Beiming has no food for a while, they will definitely not be able to hold on for long. They will only think of ways to capture the next city quickly and steal some food to feed the 200,000 troops. The next battle should be very soon. It will come. Tomorrow, I will let people release the news, saying that the army has not arrived yet. You and I came early to secretly rescue the Eighth Princess. And we said that we already have the whereabouts of the Eighth Princess. Whether the emperor believes it or not, we have found it. When he gets the news about the whereabouts of the Eighth Princess, he will probably send more people to guard the Eighth Princess. We take the opportunity to ask Xiao Hei to pay attention to where the guards are suddenly strengthened and see if we can find the Eighth Princess. What do you think?"
"Well, you can give it a try. Di Junming is a rather conceited person. Even if he doesn't find out Xiaoba's whereabouts, he will threaten us with Xiaoba. You don't have to worry. Xiaoba's life will not be in danger for the time being."
"Yes. I'm not worried that Princess Eighth's life is in danger. I'm worried that she will suffer physical pain."
This is also inevitable.
Being born as a royal princess enjoys endless wealth and glory, but it also comes with risks.
In the past, there were even princesses who wanted to get married, but that was helpless.
But Nalan Jinnian didn't say these words to Wen Nuan. He only said: "Don't worry! Nothing will happen! But I have to rush to Butterfly Valley tomorrow, and I will leave this place to you."
The team escorting Di Junxian, Feng Di and Jia Jingzhen will soon arrive at Butterfly Valley.
The teams of the Beiming Army were about to rendezvous, and it seemed that their purpose was to ambush in Butterfly Valley and then take the opportunity to rescue Emperor Junxian.
Butterfly Valley is a good place. The terrain is steep and easy to defend but difficult to attack. Whoever ambush and capture it first will have the upper hand.
Wen Nuan also knew it, and she nodded: "Okay, leave this to me! We will definitely not let Beiming's army capture another city! Counting the time, our army will be here soon, right?"
Nalan Jinnian believed that Wen Nuan had the ability to protect a city: "Well, it will arrive in two days at the earliest..."
The two of them talked as they walked towards the house.
After a short journey, everything to be done next was explained.
In the house, the lights are bright.
After Nuan Nuan finished washing up, he sat on the bed and read a book on Qimen Dunjia.
Nalan Jinnian came out after washing up, walked to the bed, sat down, and took the book out of her hand: "The candlelight is dim and hurts the eyes, why are you still not sleeping?"
This place is no better than the capital city. The lights are oil lamps, and the light is not enough. Reading will hurt your eyes.
"Well, I'm happy. I couldn't sleep for a while, so I read a book." Nuan Nuan said, then lay down and got into bed.
If you are happy after winning a battle, you will naturally be a little excited and find it difficult to fall asleep.
Nalan Jinnian closed the book, put it aside, got on the bed, and extinguished the light with his hand, and the room instantly fell into darkness.
He pulled the little man into his arms and whispered: "Since we can't sleep, let's do something else."
It's been almost a month since they got married. For most of the month, they have been traveling and sleeping in the open, so naturally they can't do anything.
It’s rare that I have a little free time tonight!
Early tomorrow morning, he would set off to another place, and the round trip would probably take several days.
winter night
The moon is bright and clear,
The stars are clear and shallow.
A charming room.
This night, under this sky, many people had a good night's sleep.
This night, under this sky, many people had no sleep all night.
~
The next day, Nuan Nuan was awakened by the sound of soldiers training.
She opened her eyes, but there was no one around her. She reached out and touched it, but there was only a little residual warmth left in the bed.
Nuan Nuan turned over, lifted up the gauze curtain, and glanced at the hourglass.
The time has not come yet.
Nuan Nuan lay back on the bed, feeling sore and sore in the back!
It's all because he was so crazy last night and pestered me half the night before he fell asleep in the middle of the night.
Nuan Nuan thought again that he had been on the road for more than half a month and had not slept for more than two hours a day. Didn't he have to be tired
But thinking about the current situation, it is impossible to have much time to rest. If you are not tired, it is fake. You just want to sleep and you don’t have much time. There is nothing you can do about it!
It seems like I need to get him some pills to recuperate his body and replenish it so he doesn't get too sick.
When Nuan Nuan thought about the pills, she thought that she should also take the pills, but then she thought that tomorrow would be a small day, and it didn't matter whether she took it or not.
She lay on the bed for a while, rolled around, and felt that her waist was not so sore, so she got out of bed.
Chen Huan and Chen Xi heard Wen Nuan wake up and called outside the door: "Princess, are you up?"
"Well, come in!" Nuan Nuan responded.
The two opened the door and walked in holding a basin of hot water.
Chen Xi said to Wen Nuan: "Princess, your menstrual belt is in the drawer of the cabinet."
The warm little day is very accurate. Chen Xi and Zi Yuan will prepare the menstrual belt for her one day in advance every time.
"good."
Wen Nuan responded casually, then freshened up, and then started to eat breakfast, which was minced meat porridge and steamed buns.
In the military camp, the daily meals are the same for generals and soldiers, but the portions are not regulated. After all, everyone's appetite is different and they have to be satisfied.
Nuan Nuan picked up a steamed bun and asked Chen Huan what came to mind: "What's going on with the enemy?"
Chen Huan served Nuan Nuan a bowl of porridge and said with a smile: "The enemy sent people to surround Yongping County, and then arranged a team of a thousand people to search house by house for a whole night, but what? We didn’t get any, we didn’t find a single grain of food, and all our hard work was in vain.”
Wen Nuan smiled: "It's not in vain that we come to welcome them in the empty city."
God knows it is not easy to evacuate a city of people and supplies.
And this has to be done covertly.
Fortunately, Cao Zihao did a good job.
After saying that, Wen Nuan took a mouthful of porridge and ate it.
Chen Huan continued: "I estimate that the enemy troops in Beiming will not be able to eat for a few days with the dry food they carry with them. They should attack the city again before the food is exhausted. I just don't know which city they will attack."
Wen Nuan nodded: "That's for sure. Wuyang County is a small county with a population of less than 200,000. Capturing it will have little effect on them. Now all supplies are concentrated in Yongding City. Only if they capture Yongding City can they It relieves their urgent need of not having food, so they will most likely attack Yongding City! Today we have to prepare, the enemy will definitely attack the city before our army arrives."
Chen Huan nodded: "Princess, eat some steamed buns."
"good."
After Nuan Nuan had finished his breakfast, he was about to go see the soldiers doing their morning exercises when Chen Xilai came to report: "Princess, the King of Lanling Kingdom wants to see you."
