The little ancestor of the family

"After what happened before, he will definitely be more cautious." King Rui said.

“And since he went to the Imperial Mausoleum, his faction has been weakened a lot.

Some underground forces have been cleared, so they must rely on the power of the barbarians and strive to win in one fell swoop."

"If you put it that way, I seem to understand why he wants to kill this team." Ye Xinran said.

"Once you, Prince Rui, return to the capital, he will have absolutely no chance of turning things around."

King Rui sneered, "Even if I don't go back, he won't have a chance to turn things around.

I didn't catch him colluding with the barbarians before, but now the evidence is right in front of me, how could I let him succeed?

Before leaving, I had already made arrangements. Don't worry, he won't be able to leave the imperial mausoleum."

"That's good."

Ye Xinran nodded, "If such a person were to take power, I wonder how miserable the people of Daliang would be."

That night, the cold wind was howling and the flags were fluttering. In the second half of the night, it even started snowing.

The snow is getting heavier.

It gets into people's necks and trouser legs.

Put out the burning fire.

Many people were woken up by the cold in the middle of the night. They cleaned up the original fire and lit a new fire on it.

Everyone was too cold to sleep, so they sat around the fire chatting and began to worry about tomorrow's itinerary.

"I don't know when this heavy snow will stop. If it keeps snowing this hard, I don't know if this road will be safe to walk on."

"That's right. We won't be far away before we enter the mountains. The snow in the mountains is the hardest to melt. We also know what's ahead."

"This damn snow, can't it wait until we get there before it starts falling?"

"Okay, stop complaining. We've been walking for so many days and this is only the first snow, which is already good."

"That's right. You haven't heard that in the northern border, winter alone takes up nearly half of the year. The snow on the mountaintops won't melt even in summer."

"I'm just worried about the food. If it were just us, we would have to crawl over there.

But now there is so much food on the truck, what if something goes wrong?"

"At worst, we can take turns to lead the way tomorrow and clear the road. There will always be a way to get there."

Everyone came up with their own ideas.

Prince Rui was leaning against his bedding and had already woken up.

Snow is a common weather in northern Xinjiang. As long as it is not too heavy, we can deal with it.

But now we are almost at Hugu Gorge, and I don’t know if those barbarians will take advantage of the heavy snow to cause trouble.

I just hope the snow will stop after daybreak.

……

It's a pity that God didn't want it.

The next morning, the sky was still dark.

The heavy snow was like goose feathers, swirling in the air and flying towards people's faces.

Those who went to sleep in the second half of the night curled themselves up in their bags.

When I woke up, I was covered with a thick layer of snow. I had to use my hands to dig myself out of the snow.

When Ye Xinran got off the carriage, this was the scene she saw: white snow bags were shaking slightly, and people were constantly coming out of them.

She slept so soundly last night that she had no idea it was snowing.

Now, when we get to the ground, the snow is already above our knees.

There was a vast expanse of white in front of me. I couldn’t see where I came from, nor could I see the direction I was going.

"The army hasn't set out yet. Zhang Qian, go ahead and ask the prince what his plans are for today."

Looking at the weather like this, Ye Xinran became a little anxious.

The so-called right time, right place and right people, but when we were almost at Hugu Gorge, the geographical advantage was gone. Now the weather was not good and we lost the right time as well.

Do we really have to let them go through this hardship?

After a long while, Zhang Qian came back from the front and said, "Master, King Rui said that we must hurry on our way today, so we will set off after a simple breakfast.

Ye Xinran nodded, feeling inexplicably panicked.

Just try to do something to distract yourself.

Into the soup cooked with the seasoning cubes were placed the roast chicken and roast goose that Ye Xinran specially sent.

"Tear up the meat and put it in the soup to warm everyone up so they can have the strength to continue their journey."

This was not the first time Ye Xinran had brought out this delicacy along the way.

The fireman was a little flattered.

He originally wanted to say something polite, but when he thought that this was for everyone to eat, he felt that he had no right to be polite on behalf of others.

"Miss Lu, if you share all this with us, what are you going to eat in the next few days?"

"Don't worry, I still have some."

Ye Xinran looked at the dark sky and said, "After we pass the Tiger Bone Gorge, I will take out my treasured pork elbow and celebrate with everyone.

When he heard that there was a celebration, the fireman shouted excitedly: "Did everyone hear that? After we pass Hugu Gorge, Miss Lu will treat us to pork elbows!"

"I heard!"

"I heard!"

The deafening sound echoed throughout the valley, shaking the snow on the branches off.

I had a very satisfying breakfast.

With food in the stomach, people feel much more energetic.

The cavalry led the way, followed by the grain transport team, and the rest of the people followed behind. When there were places where the carriages could not pass, the infantry stepped forward to clear the roadblocks and then continued to move forward.

After walking for a while, the sound of galloping horses suddenly came from behind.

Everyone looked back and saw that the people running towards them were the cavalrymen who had escorted the people back to the village yesterday.

Their horses ran very fast.

There were two people sitting on the leading horse.

The horse stopped when passing by Ye Xinran's carriage.

A familiar figure jumped off the horse.

"Miss Lu, I thought about it on the way back and I think what you said makes sense.

A grown man shouldn't live a cowardly life. Instead of sitting at home and worrying, it's better to fight him."

Ye Xinran hurriedly opened the window of the carriage and stuck her head out.

Standing outside was Fan Li with a smile on his face.

"I told you to stay, but you refused to listen." Ye Xinran raised the corner of her mouth, "Our horses had to carry you back and forth, which was a waste of effort."

Fan Li felt a little embarrassed.

"With my status, I won't have the chance to meet a noble person again.

All those words of thanks have become empty talk. Since I want to repay you, I might as well take this opportunity to do so."

"Mr. Fan is back just in time. It's snowing so heavily today, and the road ahead must be difficult to travel.

Mr. Fan is familiar with this place. I will ask Zhang Qian to take you to the front and you can help the prince with some advice."

"Don't worry, I came back to do this. As long as the prince trusts me, it will be fine."

After saying that, Fan Li and Ye Xinran said goodbye and followed Zhang Qian to meet King Rui in front.

King Rui was a little surprised to know that Fan Li came back again.

He looked at Fan Li and said:

"Since you are an old subordinate of General Xiao, you naturally know that swords have no eyes on the battlefield.

We already have a peaceful life, why take this risk again?"
