The howling north wind brought dark clouds all over the sky, and Li Xiu's mood was like this weather, getting heavier and heavier day by day, they had already thought of a way to break through the gate of the pill capital, but they didn't expect that God would not help them, and the north wind was blowing for several days, and the weather was getting colder and colder, and the dark clouds in the sky were getting thicker and thicker, and it seemed that heavy snow like goose feathers could fall at any time.

Looking up at the gloomy sky, Li Xiu couldn't help but sigh, but in the end, he wrapped his clothes tightly and walked quickly to his residence, he went to the craftsman camp just now, and tested some of the special equipment made before with the craftsmen, these things were originally prepared for the attack on Marudu City, but now they have not been used.

Now Qin Qiong and Cheng Yanjin are looking forward to Cai Tianye opening his eyes and changing the direction of the wind, even if it is only for one day, they can also seize the time to break the gate of Marudu City, and then fight a tough battle with the Goguryeo people face to face, although the number of the other party is about the same as that of the Tang Army, but the Tang Army is really not afraid of anyone in a tough battle.

Li Xiu's residence is located in the center of the city, now the domestic city has been completely occupied by the Tang army, and it has also become the base camp of the Tang army, except for a part of the Tang army who need to guard the road up the mountain, the other Tang troops are almost all stationed in the city, especially now that the weather is getting colder and colder, the soldiers are more willing to live in a house that can block the wind, which is much more comfortable than living in a tent.

At that moment, Li Xiu returned to his residence to rest for a while, and at this time the sky gradually darkened, but the north wind did not stop at all, which made him sigh again, and then he had to let people prepare dinner, although he had no appetite, but in this cold weather, it was very difficult to eat at night without eating.

"Pony, I'm here to deliver something to you!" But at this moment, I suddenly saw an excited voice from outside the door, and then I saw the tall Xue Rengui walking in with a stag on his shoulder.

"Rengui, why are you here, and where did this deer come from?" Li Xiu couldn't help but ask in surprise when he saw the other party, although there were guards outside the courtyard, Xue Rengui was not an outsider, and he had often come to Li Xiu before, either chatting or rubbing food, so Li Xiu's personal guards generally wouldn't stop him.

"Hehe, today is also a coincidence, it was my turn to take my brothers out on patrol, and I encountered a group of deer going down the mountain to find food, so my brothers and I shot some, this one was specially sent to the horses!" Xue Rengui also smiled very happily at this time, although the army lived in the city, the security of the periphery could not be ignored, and their supply line was also very long this time on the labor expedition, so occasionally the soldiers were allowed to hunt some prey to supplement food.

"Hehe, then I'm welcome, you shouldn't have eaten yet, right?" Li Xiu couldn't help but smile when he heard Xue Rengui's words, venison is a good thing, especially in this cold weather.

"I also came to the colt as soon as I came back, so I didn't eat either." Xue Rengui also smiled again.

"That's just right, we've been using this deer for dinner!" Li Xiu knew that Xue Rengui would answer like this, in fact, he didn't come to eat here less during this time, after all, his amount of food was too large, and he was hungry quickly, so he couldn't stand it at all if he didn't add food.

Xue Rengui was waiting for Li Xiu's words, and he agreed unceremoniously at the moment, and then carried the deer to the backyard with Li Xiu, and did not need the help of other personal soldiers, Xue Rengui hung the deer on the tree alone, and then disemboweled and cleaned up the water, Li Xiu also helped cut off the good meat, like such a big deer, if Li Xiu is allowed to eat alone, I am afraid that it will have to eat for a month, but with Xue Rengui, the king of big stomachs, it is different, he can top the amount of food of ten ordinary people.

Li Xiu planned to make hot pot, after all, in such a cold weather, it was really a great pleasure to eat a hot pot, but he was about to cut the meat, and suddenly saw Cheng Yanjin striding over from the front yard, and when he saw them, he also laughed and said: "It seems that the old man is really a coincidence!" ”

"General Cheng, you are really a coincidence, hurry up and help me bring the cut meat to the living room, and let's eat hot pot together!" Li Xiu also laughed at this time, Cheng Yanjin was also one of the people who often came to him to eat, and even Li Xiu suspected that he must have heard that Xue Rengui had beaten a deer, so he came to eat.

As soon as Cheng Yanjin heard that he was going to eat hot pot, his eyes lit up at the moment, and then he also helped to clean up together, and soon a deer was cleaned up by them, Li Xiu also fried the hot pot ingredients, and the charcoal stove also rose in the living room, a copper pot was placed on the stove, and the soup base inside quickly boiled, and all kinds of meat slices rolled in the soup, and then they were eaten in the dipping sauce.

"By the way, I heard that the Goguryeo people in Marudu City are not honest again, and they sent troops to recapture the mountain road last night, but they were beaten back, and our casualties are not big, right?" Li Xiu ate a few bites of venison and felt the warmth on his body, so he raised his head and asked Cheng Yanjin.

"The little cubs in Marudu City have not been honest, they attacked not only once yesterday, but twice, the first time was at the third watch, but they were beaten back by our people, and the second time was in the early hours of this morning, when the soldiers guarding the mountain road thought that the Goguryeo people would not come again, and almost ate Dawan, fortunately, we also arranged heavy troops there and built defenses, which did not let the Goguryeo people succeed!" Cheng Yanjin also said angrily at this time.

Cheng Yanjin finally came up with a way to conquer the gate of Marudu, but he never had a chance to use it, and the Goguryeo people in Marudu City always wanted to recapture the mountain road, so there were many battles between the two sides during this time, but no one took advantage.

"The last time I was guarding the mountain road, I also encountered a sneak attack by the Goguryeo people, at that time I wanted to chase the Goguryeo people into the city, but I didn't expect the Goguryeo people at the head of the city to be more ruthless, and directly locked the Goguryeo people at the back outside the city, and then a burst of arrows, regardless of the enemy and me, all the shots were killed, and our side also lost a lot of brothers!" Xue Rengui said while chewing at this time, in the blink of an eye, he had already eaten up two plates of meat, although he was tall, but Li Xiu was sometimes strange, I couldn't understand how he could fit in his stomach when he ate so many things?

"Forget it, don't talk about these troubles, but I like to eat with Rengui, and I can eat two more bowls of food when I watch him eat!" Cheng Yanjin didn't want to talk about the affairs of the army at this time, so he changed the topic, and like he discussed with Li Xiu and Qin Qiong about the method of attacking the pill capital, he couldn't discuss it in front of Xue Rengui, after all, his rank was still too low, and some secrets in the army were inconvenient for him to know.

Hearing Cheng Yanjin say this, Li Xiu no longer asked about the affairs of the army, but he was also secretly praying in his heart, hoping that God could help them, and stop the wind no matter what.
