Wan Yutong was speechless for a long time after hearing Mulan's words, she was originally a smart person in ice and snow, how could she not think about this problem? It's just that she has been unwilling to face it, and she has been deceiving herself.

Now that Mulan said it to her face, she knew that she couldn't help but face this problem, and she couldn't avoid it.

Wan Yutong grew up with Emperor Tuoba Tao since he was a child, and naturally knows his character well, this childhood playmate is a very possessive person, if he wants to get a thing, he will do everything to get it, even if he does everything!

Wan Yutong could even imagine that if Tuoba Tao knew that she liked Zhao Junsheng, but Zhao Junsheng was just a Han man who was the captain of the baggage army, he could put Zhao Junsheng to death with just one look!

Thinking of this, Wan Yutong couldn't help but shiver, and she trembled all over.

Hua Mulan raised her hands, gently placed them on Wan Yutong's shoulders, and patted them gently.

Wan Yutong couldn't control his emotions and silently shed tears, "Mulan, why can't I even have the power to like whom?" Grandpa asked me to serve Brother Buddha, but I didn't like him at all! Just because Brother Buddha wants to take me into the palace, I can't even like others, as long as I like any man, it will bring disaster to the man I like! ”

Hua Mulan really didn't know how to comfort Wan Yutong, sighed silently in her heart, and said: "How many people in this world can act rashly and do whatever they want?" I'm afraid that even the emperor can't do this, right? ”

"Take me as an example, I and Brother Junsheng are fiancées, we planned to get married after the New Year, but the sudden arrival of the military post ruined our plans, I can't let my father drag his sick body to the battlefield, if that's the case, even if I and Brother Junsheng become relatives, will we live in peace? So I took the initiative to dissolve the marriage contract with Junsheng's brother before deciding to join the army on my father's behalf. A person in this world can't always think only of himself, there are many responsibilities that we must carry! ”

"I never thought that Brother Junsheng would come here, I can't stop him from doing anything, I just hope he can be well, I'm already very sorry for him, I don't want him to have another accident!"

After a long time, Wan Yutong walked to a small Mazha next to the fire, "I know, can you let me stay alone for a while?" ”

Mulan nodded and turned away.

Early the next morning, the maidservant Xiaocui got up in the morning and found that Wan Yutong was not in the tent, so she panicked and immediately went out of the tent to look for it, and found Wan Yutong sitting by a fire that had been extinguished, and immediately walked over and shouted: "Childe, why did you get up so early?" ”

Wan Yutong didn't respond, Xiao Cui walked to her and found that her eyes were straight, her eyes were blank, and she was so frightened that she lost color, and when she touched her hand again, she felt cold and cold, and immediately shouted: "Come on, come on!" ”

Wan Yutong came back to his senses at this time, "Xiaocui, stop screaming!" ”

"Oh, Miss, you're scared to death slave!" Xiao Cui was so anxious that she stomped her feet, saw many soldiers running over, and hurriedly waved her hand: "It's okay, it's okay, you guys are busy!" ”

The soldiers were unhappy for a while, and they left one by one scolding.

"You go get some hot water, I'm going to wash up!"

"Okay, slave and maid, let's go!"

At this time, Hua Mulan came over and sat down next to Wan Yutong with a bundle of half-dry and half-wet firewood and a handful of hay, and said while lighting a fire: "I just went to the stable to take a look, although the mules, horses and donkeys are still weak in their legs and feet, and they don't have the physical strength to pull the cart, even if they can pull the cart, but it snowed overnight yesterday, and the snow on the ground is too deep to almost drown the knees, and the carriage can't go anyway, it seems that it can't go today, so I can only continue to wait!" ”

"Oh, really?" Wan Yutong responded casually.

Hua Mulan stopped, turned her head to look at Wan Yutong, "It looks like you've been sitting here all night, are you okay?" ”

Wan Yutong was very calm and smiled reluctantly: "It's okay, I'm not as weak as you think!" With such a thick snow on the ground, I don't know if Zhao Junsheng and they can send food to the Jinling camp today! ”

Hua Mulan lit the fire, clapped her hands and got up, and said, "I hope they can deliver the grain and grass in time!" It's useless to worry about us here, I'll go wash up first! ”

At this time, in the camp on the edge of the birch forest, six hundred people stood in two phalanxes, the pro-soldiers were on guard around, and Zhao Junsheng stood in front of the team holding the hilt of his sword and exhaled white air.

"Brothers, the snow on the ground is thicker, and it will be more difficult to march, but the snow has stopped, and no matter how difficult it is, we must also transport this batch of grain and grass before dusk today, so that the town army can support it for a few days, and wait for the subsequent delivery of grain and grass!"

"It's still fifty miles away from the Jinling camp, and we have to go there in one go! There were still a few wolves' wolf meat left last night, and Captain Bendu had already asked the men to stew all the meat, and each of them would drink a bowl of hot soup later, and after eating the dry food, we would go on the road, did you understand? ”

"Understood!" Six hundred people responded with a loud voice.

Zhao Junsheng waved his hand: "Okay, the teams are disbanded, pack up, and prepare for dinner!" ”

An hour later, the soldiers and strong men continued to carry the grain under the leadership of Zhao Junsheng, and the speed of the march was really turtle speed, and some soldiers could not pull out one foot in the snow for a long time.

After only one hour, everyone was sweating, but they walked less than ten miles.

Zhao Junsheng saw this situation and knew that everyone was tired, so he immediately ordered: "Now that we are in the wind, we can't stay here, if we want to rest, we must rest in a leeward place, brothers work hard, continue to move forward!" ”

After walking for about three hours, Zhao Junsheng felt that it was past noon, and there was no sun in the sky, so he could not determine the exact time, at this speed, it would take two hours to reach the Jinling camp, and the surrounding environment was already relatively familiar, and it was twenty miles southeast of the Jinling camp.

"Take a break for a cup of tea, eat the rest of the dry food, we will definitely be able to rush to the Jinling camp today, and when we get to the camp, let's have a hot meal!"

Zhao Junsheng ordered loudly, he knew that everyone's physical strength was almost exhausted, and they had to eat to replenish their physical strength, otherwise they would not have the strength to continue walking on the rest of the road.

The soldiers and strong men were really tired, carrying a bag of more than 100 catties of grain in the knee-deep wild snow against the cold wind, it was too physically exhausting, the cold wind kept blowing, the beads of sweat that had just come out of the forehead were blown dry in the blink of an eye, the torso was already sweaty, and the forehead, cheeks and hands were frozen, the shoes and socks were also wet, and the toes were frozen unconscious.

After eating, Zhao Junsheng immediately ordered everyone to continue to move forward, and they must not stay still for a long time in this wilderness, otherwise the sweat on their bodies will soon become cold, and that will be really fatal!

The soldiers and strong men continued to shout the trumpet while carrying the food, and after walking for about half an hour, a few small black dots appeared in front of them.

Zhao Junsheng looked up and saw that it was several cavalrymen, these people were riding horses on a difficult patrol in the thick snow, and he immediately waved his hand and shouted: "Hey······ We're back, we're back······"

Huaishuo town garrison camp.

The wrinkles on Wan Dugui's forehead were obviously much deeper than those of the previous days, and he walked around the tooth tent with the handle of the knife anxiously.

The general Wanquan hurriedly ran in, and happily hugged his fists and reported: "General, Zhao Junsheng is back!" ”

"Where?" Wandugui's demeanor disappeared at this moment, and he grabbed Wanquan's arm and asked anxiously.

"The brothers who were patrolling and guarding ten miles outside the camp just now spotted them, and they stepped on knee-deep snow in groups to carry the food back!" Wan Quan said with an expression that was both excited and extremely shocked.

Wandu immediately shouted: "Order all the people in the first and third buildings to gather, bring their horses to meet the baggage team, and use the horses to bring back the grain!" ”
