Now is the time for everyone to relax. They just bypassed the army of the Rong tribe and came to a better terrain.

This place is closer to the military camp, so naturally everyone began to relax.

Everyone was ready to spread out the clothes they brought with them on the ground and sleep on them for the night.

The weather here cannot be solved by just a few pieces of clothing. Wen Yichen looked at the weather and knew that it would probably be very cold tonight.

He began to order everyone to set up camp. The days here are relatively long, and the army also brought some tents. The quality may not be that good, but it is more than enough to cope with this night.

We don't know much about the situation at this border. Although my grandfather came here to fight in the early years, he didn't stay here for very long.

And at that time, he had never set up camp in such a vast desert mountain, so he was naturally a little at a loss.

Grandfather actually wanted to question Wen Yichen's actions. He thought that Wen Yichen had never been here before and made a rash decision. If something happened in the end, who would take the responsibility?

After Wen Yichen gave his instructions, his grandfather pulled Wen Yichen aside and said, "Third Prince, do we really need to set up tents in such an environment? Isn't that an overreaction?"

Wen Yichen was not angry after hearing this. He pointed to the sky and said, "The weather here is not like the capital, which is relatively stable. The weather here is more changeable. Besides, the capital is starting to get cold in this season. This frontier area gets colder than the capital. Look at the opposite mountain, there is already snow. Although the weather is sunny now, it may not be the case at night."

Grandfather didn't know what to say after hearing this, but he was still a little worried. He really didn't know what the weather was like outside the Great Wall. He was afraid that if he took a wrong step, all his steps would be wrong.

Wen Yichen saw his grandfather's furrowed eyebrows and knew that he was actually worried about the safety of the army.

Wen Yichen sighed and said, "General Wang, please believe me. I lived here when I was a child, so I know what the weather is like here. Although it looks like the south of the Yangtze River, once it gets cold, you will freeze to death."

Although my grandfather was just as puzzled as I was about why Wen Yichen had lived here, he was unwilling to ask any more questions and did not continue to object.

Wen Yichen was quite familiar with this place. He divided the army into two teams. One team went to look for branches or cow dung around, and the other team set up tents here.

It didn't take long before the tent was set up and the cow dung and branches for making a fire were prepared.

Now, the soldiers were exhausted. Working here was more physically demanding than in the capital, because of the environment here.

As for dinner, we took out the steamed buns we brought with us, toasted them on the stove for a while, and then stuffed them into our mouths to eat when they were hot.

The days here are really long, so long that people almost forget the existence of night. I think this moment is very beautiful, sitting in front of the fire, watching the sunset hanging in the sky, looking out, there are endless mountains and deserts.

Here, people are so insignificant. The scenery is different from that in Beijing.

In front of the fire, Wen Yichen began to daydream. I guessed he must have remembered his childhood days in the frontier, but I didn't dare to ask him any more.

I sat down next to him silently and said, "Third Prince, the scenery here is really nice. The climate conditions are indeed not as good as those in the capital. But this scenery has a vastness that cannot be seen in the capital. It gives people a sense of tranquility."

Wen Yichen also understood me very well, and he knew that I was trying to comfort him. So he said, "You want to know why I lived here when I was a child, right? But you felt it was not a good idea to ask directly, so you asked me in a roundabout way."

I smiled sheepishly. This was indeed my thought. But I didn't expect Wen Yichen to be able to guess it.

Wen Yichen was silent for a while and said: "When I was a child, my mother was not a favored concubine. At that time, my mother brought me here to live for a few years. Because my mother accidentally broke a vase that the late queen liked very much. My father especially hated my mother and thought that she should be taught a lesson. In fact, my mother would have been executed. But my grandfather and others used their merits to exchange for my mother to come here.

I was not very old at that time. In addition, my father disliked me because of my mother. So he brought me here. However, he announced to the public that my mother and I were recuperating in the palace and would not see guests. "

I know that serving the emperor is like serving a tiger, but I didn't expect the emperor to be so cruel. The climate here is so bad, but he actually let his son grow up here.

I said at this time: "Perhaps the emperor loves you too, but he just doesn't know how to express it."

Wen Yichen shook his head and said, "Father gave all his love to the late queen. We only got a few bits and pieces. Besides, I am not the only son of Father. How could he not know how to express his love for me? He is just thinking about who will take over the country in the future."

I didn't expect that Wen Yichen, who was still young, could see things so clearly. He didn't try to win the emperor's favor. The emperor didn't love anyone now, so naturally, there was nothing to win.

Wen Yichen looked at my innocent smile, sighed and said: "The conditions here are very difficult. You should take good care of yourself here. Although I am the third prince, I can't take care of you all the time in the military camp. I really admire you for being able to go to the battlefield as a woman. But you still need to be careful. The military camp is indeed simpler than the capital. But the hidden dangers are no less than those in the capital."

Wen Yichen's words were from his heart. He really admired me. Most of the women he saw could only stay in the palace. How could they be willing to come to such a difficult place?

I didn't expect that I would be the exception. I was willing to come here because I put the lives of the people before my own. I have to say that God made me this lucky star. It was indeed chosen by God.

After he finished speaking, I politely said, "The Third Prince is not bad either. He is also willing to come here. The other princes are unwilling to come. I thought that the princes would only engage in intrigue in the court. How can they ascend the throne of the emperor and become an emperor who does not know the suffering of the people?"

After that, Wen Yichen and I smiled at each other and said nothing more. The sky gradually darkened, and we all went back to our tents to sleep.

Wen Yichen had already asked some soldiers to sleep in the first half of the night and others in the second half of the night. There would not only be people here, but also bears and wolves.

The fire outside the tent was kept burning all night for fear that some animals would get close, which would increase our danger.

There was no movement in the first half of the night. In the second half of the night, everyone started to relax.

The people of the Rong tribe quietly approached our tent, preparing to encircle us.

The plan was perfect, but some soldiers happened to get up to urinate and saw the torches in the distance.

In this environment, it was impossible to see without a torch. Some people thought they were blind, and when they rubbed their eyes, they felt a chill on their necks.

The people of the Rong tribe had already approached the tent and had some of our soldiers by the neck. The strange thing was that they did not kill anyone.

After a while, everyone noticed something was wrong and started shouting. I didn't sleep very well at night.

Hearing the sound of weapons colliding outside the tent, he naturally knew what was going on. He immediately put on his clothes and did not leave the tent.

I know that although I know a little bit, I will definitely panic when facing this kind of situation for the first time. Others will definitely rush over to protect me. If someone attacks at this time, then there is a high probability that both I and the person who rescued me will die.

It would be better to listen to what is going on in the tent first.

The people of the Rong tribe did come to ambush us. Our soldiers wanted to fight them, but they had the advantage in size and were familiar with the terrain and climate here.

Although there were not many of them, our army had just woken up and had not yet recovered. They saw a group of people slashing at us with swords, which really caught everyone off guard.

After a while, I heard everyone's roar, and I was just about to walk out of the tent to see what was going on.

Wen Yichen immediately said: "The situation outside is complicated, don't come out yet, otherwise we will have to protect you. The scene will be even more chaotic." I listened to the noise outside in the tent.

Grandfather was a general for many years. He rushed forward with his weapon and defeated several people from the Rong tribe. However, due to his age, he did not hold out for long.

The people of the Rong tribe did not come all at once, but a part of them came first, and then the other part came from the other side of the mountain.

If we run forward, it will be complete desert. It is still dark now and if we run with torches we will completely expose ourselves.

We could hear wolves howling nearby, and this made our soldiers a little confused.

Wen Yichen also drew out his sword and fought with the people of the Rong tribe, but the people of the Rong tribe were too tall, and Wen Yichen did not have any advantage.

Our army was soon routed, and many people were lying on the ground.

Wen Yichen knew that this army was no match for the Rong tribe. So he immediately said, "Let's try to talk. If you continue to fight like this, you will only hurt the enemy by 1,000 and your own 800. Why don't we have a good talk!"

The general of the Rong tribe came out immediately and said, "You can't beat us, and you've called for reinforcements. Now we let you go, and let you become the sword that stabs us on the battlefield?"

Wen Yichen immediately took a step forward and said, "We are fighting only for the peace between our two countries. Our two countries have been at peace for so long, why are we suddenly fighting again? If you hadn't attacked our army first, we wouldn't have come to this point."

The general of the Rong tribe laughed and said, "Peace? When have we ever had peace? You always want to oppress us, and you still want to talk to us about peace? If you hadn't changed your business policy, how could we be in this situation?"

Wen Yichen naturally didn't know what happened. However, the trade policy with the Rong tribe had always been set by the ancestors, so how could it be changed? Although he didn't handle government affairs, he knew that if these policies were changed, he would definitely know about it.

Wen Yichen immediately revealed his identity and said, "I am the third prince of the Dayun Dynasty. The change in trade policy that you mentioned has never been changed by my father. How could it change? If my father changed it, I would naturally know it."

The torchlight shone on the face of the Rong tribe leader, who had a hint of surprise on his face. He then sneered and said, "Now that you are in my hands, you will naturally say so. Otherwise, why would I let you go? We are not unreasonable people, but we just can't understand why you suddenly changed your trade strategy. Do you look down on us so much? But don't worry, I won't kill you. You are still useful to us."

The Rong tribe general didn't want to listen to Wen Yichen's nonsense anymore, and immediately ordered his soldiers to capture Wen Yichen alive.

Those people rushed towards Wen Yichen one by one. Wen Yichen was also surrounded by our troops.

The two sides got into another fight, neither of them gave in. Someone stabbed Wen Yichen with a sword, and I saw it from inside the tent. So I immediately rushed out and took the sword.

I suddenly felt a hot and fishy liquid flowing out of my body, and then I fainted.
