The cold wind howled, mixed with large snowflakes flying in the air, falling to the ground, sticking to the trees, and finally merging with the endless white, adding to the chill of the world.

A thatched hut on the side of the road trembled uneasily in the wind, and every piece of snow fell seemed to make its weak body moan in pain, and on the roof, a thick layer of snow had fallen, and the bottom condensed into ice, which had been connected with the hut, and the top snow was under the strong wind, and from time to time it flew up pieces of mist, falling down the roof, but also allowing it to continue to breathe.

The walls were made of straw mats, and I don't know how long it was, and there were holes everywhere, and the wind poured in through them, making a sharp whistling sound.

The temperature inside the house is not much higher than outside, but it can give people a psychological heat. In such weather, there is nothing urgent, and naturally no one goes out. But today, there are guests in this dilapidated hut.

Two people sat cross-legged by the fire, one wrapped in a thick fur coat, but still shivering, looking eager to hold the fire in his arms, the other was only wearing an ordinary jacket, his expression was leisurely, and he was looking intently at a rabbit roasting on the fire, and from time to time he would take out some powdery things from a bag on the ground and sprinkle them on the rabbit, with his every movement, There was a strong aroma wafting from the hut.

"It's a nice place, sneeze, sneeze! Qin Feng, you also fancy this, right? It's just a little too fucking cold, sneezee! While rubbing his red nose, he looked at the guy opposite. It's really infuriating, he froze into a dog, but that guy only wore a jacket and still didn't do anything.

"A great doctor who knows the way of medicine, if he freezes himself, it will be a miracle, well, I really want to see how you diagnose your pulse?" Qin Feng giggled, his face gloating.

"You don't have that!" Shu Chang rubbed his nose and hummed: "It's difficult for a doctor to cure his own disease, I don't know this." Hey, I think that at the beginning, it would be nice if I had a little more energy to practice martial arts, at least I wouldn't have to be as embarrassed as I am now. ”

"It's not too late." Qin Feng turned the roast rabbit in his hand over and said, "You are so smart and talented, as long as you calm down, it is not difficult to make yourself stronger." ”

"Forget it!" Shu Chang waved his hand, "One heart can't be used for two purposes, now my martial arts are more than enough to deal with a few little thieves, just be able to protect yourself, how can I have time to practice kung fu again, just the medical Tao is enough for me to be busy in this life, and I will only achieve nothing." Anyway, there's something terrible about having a big bodyguard like you by my side. ”

"Looks like you're going to eat me?" Qin Feng laughed.

"You should be glad to have me with you." Shu Chang shook his head, "With me, you will at least have a few more lives, right?" ”

"That's good." Qin Feng rarely didn't argue with him this time, "Your medical path is close to enlightenment, when you fought before, as long as you thought of waiting for me in the camp, you added a little strength. ”

"What a doctor. Have you ever read Emperor Li Qing's notes, the things recorded in his notes are the real miracles! Shu Chang sighed, "My only goal in this life is to keep up with those things, but now it seems that there is no hope at all." Qin Feng, do you believe that there is any medical technique that can replace a person's head with another person's head, and dig out a person's heart and put it in another person's chest? ”

Qin Feng was slightly stunned, and did not directly answer Shu Chang's words, but asked rhetorically: "You have been talking to me about Emperor Li Qing, but I really can't figure it out, what does a guy from a thousand years ago have to do with you?" ”

"What's the relationship?" Shu Chang smiled, "The ancestor of our sect, thousands of years ago, was the imperial doctor who followed Emperor Li Qing, and it has been passed down for thousands of years, and in my generation, there are only two people left." ”

"Two people? Well, in that case, you still have a senior brother or junior brother? Why have I never heard you mention it? Qin Feng asked curiously, the first time he heard Shu Chang talk about his details, although the two had a deep relationship before, Qin Feng never inquired about each other's privacy.

"It's not a senior brother, it's a junior sister!" Shu Chang smiled bitterly.

"Senior sister?" Qin Feng smiled a little warmly, "Senior brother and sister, we have been together for many years, that is a lot of saying!" ”

Huh! Shu Chang's face became bitter, "When you have a chance to see her in the future, let's talk about this problem!" ”

"It seems that you are quite afraid of her, and it is strange that the senior brother is afraid of the junior sister, except for one circumstance!" Qin Feng smiled and tore off a rabbit leg and handed it to Shu Chang, "Come, eat a little, it's hot!" ”

Taking the rabbit leg, Shu Chang smiled and said: "If you have the opportunity to meet her, you will understand, forget it, you haven't answered my previous question, do you believe those things recorded in the emperor's notes?" said it vividly, just like the truth, the key is that our ancestors in this sect, in the things they left, actually echoed the emperor's words, and said that they had seen such a major operation with their own eyes, do you believe it? ”

"I believe it." Qin Feng said categorically.

"You believe it?" Shu Chang looked at him in surprise, "I'm still worried that you're calling me a madman?" Why would you believe such a ridiculous thing? To be honest, over the years, I have been trying to do these things, but I can't see even the slightest hope of success, and even I suspect that the emperor was completely ill back then, and the ancestors of our sect were simply sycophants to please me. ”

Qin Feng glanced at Shu Chang thoughtfully, smiled, but did not speak, and gnawed on the rabbit leg by himself, he had really seen such a thing! It's just that Shu Chang has never wanted to do it in this life.

"Yanshan is a nice place." Chewing on the rabbit leg, Qin Feng said: "Backed by the mountains, facing the plains, far away from the core area of Yue rule, and at the junction of the current Qi and Yue countries, it is almost a vacuum area above the rule, for us who are extremely weak now, it is a good opportunity for development." ”

"But the population is not large, and the most basic thing to develop is the population!" Shu Changdao.

"Didn't you notice that the people here are poorer?" Qin Feng smiled and said: "There is a way, moreover, the Yue people have just lost five hundred miles of land, and the people who want to come to these places must still miss their homeland, these days we have walked down, but we have seen the resistance of the Yue people endlessly, and the cruel suppression of the Qin people has created good conditions for us to attract these people, of course, the premise is that we show considerable strength." ”

"Do you want to take Feng County first?"

"Not for the time being, with our manpower, it is not too difficult to take the small county of Feng County, but if we occupy a place like the county seat, it will inevitably make things bigger all of a sudden, and it will inevitably attract the attention of those in power, so when we are sure that we can hold him, we can take it, now, it is better not to make a noise, and work quietly." Qin Feng Dao.

"When you think so, I'm relieved. The focus of your initial strategy was Qi State? ”

"Of course. The state of Qi had just occupied these lands, and its rule was unstable, so it was a good time to start, with Feng County as the foundation, constantly eroding and expanding. ”

"The war between Qi and Chu is only afraid that it will be in the spring of next year, once the two countries start fighting, I am afraid that it will not be possible to distinguish the winner in a short time, and that time will be a good opportunity for our development, because before the victory or defeat is determined, the attention of the Qi State is all on the side of the Chu State, and it will not notice the small resistance of these marginal areas. By the time he reacts, he believes that we have become a hard bone that he can't gnaw on, so our golden development time is about one to two years. ”

Listening to Qin Feng's words, Shu Chang nodded: "Do you think the Chu State can compete with the Qi State on the border for a few years?" ”

"Although the State of Qi is strong, the State of Chu is also profound, and it is already the shortest time to divide the winners and losers in five years. After all, the war between the two sides is to destroy the country, even if it lasts for more than ten or twenty years, it is also possible. Qin Feng said with a smile: "So we don't need to be in a hurry, when Qin Yue also joins in, this world will look even better." ”

"It's not messy, how can we have a chance?" Shu Chang chuckled, "Mess up, the more messy the better." ”

Qin Feng nodded, tore open half of the rabbit meat, and was about to hand it to Shu Chang, but he was suddenly stunned, "In this weather, why is there still a convoy on the way?" ”

"Convoy?" Shu Chang was also stunned, stood up, and looked out through the hole in the straw mat, and sure enough, in the distance, a convoy of more than a dozen carriages was struggling to move forward on the snow.

A day of difficult trekking, Wang Hou and his party have been extremely tired, Wang Hou sat in the carriage is better, those coachmen and guards are a little miserable, the whole day, the wind and snow have not stopped, every step down, the snow over the knee will make him spend a lot of strength, even if the horses in the trailer, at this time is also exhausted.

"Owner, there is a sheltered Mao Feng in front, and it's almost dark today, so it's better to rest somewhere, let the guys recuperate, tomorrow the wind and snow may stop, and it's not too late to speed up!" Lu Yifan walked to the carriage and said to Wang Hou inside.

Lifting the curtain, looking at the sky, and then looking at the wind and snow that did not stop at all, Wang Hou also shook his head helplessly, "That's it, finally have a shelter from the wind, so let the guys have a good rest and recuperate." ”

When a group of people heard Wang Hou's words, everyone's faces showed joy, after a hard day, they could finally have a good rest, a thatched house, although it couldn't stop the cold, it was much better than sleeping in the wild. (To be continued.) )
