After rebirth, I win people's hearts by being cute

The three of them talked for a long time. Su Cheng saw that Su Yi's attitude had softened, so he insisted on taking the two of them out to play. "Let me tell you, the scenery along the border is great, and the racehorses can run very far."

"Are you sure you can go out to race horses in this weather?"

Liu Huan attacked him mercilessly, and he put away his excitement. "Yeah, it would be nice if it was summer. The border is actually pretty good in summer."

"By the way, let me take you to the mutton hotpot. The sheep on the border run on the grassland all day long, and their meat is very firm. I really like it."

As soon as he finished speaking, Changbai came in with a pot, "Second brother, why are you still the one treating now that you're here? We agreed that it was me who treated you."

Su Yi was worried when he saw his brother's expression. "Why don't you check what time it is now? Are you sure it's still in time to do it?"

Su Cheng felt a little guilty, "I'm not... Huanhuan~"

"Okay, we'll be here for a long time, please treat me tomorrow."

"Okay, I'll take you to eat somewhere else tomorrow. I tell you, although this place is not as good as other places, I am still very satisfied with the food."

"Eat quickly, this meat is very fresh."

As he spoke, he picked up some food for Liu Huan. He wanted to pick up some for Su Yi but was afraid that he would dislike it, so he smiled awkwardly and said, "Second brother, you eat very delicious food."

Liu Huan wanted to laugh when he saw him. Xiao Shi was basically raised by Shi. Seeing him was like a mouse seeing a cat or a child seeing its father.

"Eat your food. You are so old and still making so much noise."

Liu Huan quite enjoyed eating the meat. Vegetables couldn't be grown at the border, so there was plenty of meat. He ate a lot without realizing it.

The two of them slumped in their chairs after eating too much, sighing with contentment, their movements exactly the same.

"Brother, are you going back today?"

"No, the general gave me two days off, so I don't have to go back tomorrow."

Liu Huan became interested: "Can you tell me some interesting stories about your military camp? I don't want to hear confidential information."

When talking about the pile, he restrained his smile and said, "He died protecting me. His family is also from Suzhou Prefecture, in the county next to Qingyang County. I will take him back with me when I go back."

When it comes to sad topics, Liu Huan has no way to join in the conversation. "Let's not talk about these sad words. I'll toast you a glass, little brother."

The two of them drank rice wine until late at night, and both fell asleep on the table.

"Help this drunkard to go next door."

The person he called was Changbai, and Changbai helped Su Cheng away.

Su Yi carried Liu Huan to the bed, still muttering that he could still drink.

Su Yi put her out and said, "Take good care of her. If she feels uncomfortable when she wakes up, ask someone to buy her some sobering tea and warm porridge. Don't let her eat big fish and meat so early in the morning."

"Okay sir."

Su Yi left the inn and saw scattered snowflakes from the faint torchlight. The master and servant moved forward with a torch and entered the backyard of the yamen.

The prefect was still awake, so he called the doorman and asked, "Is Lord Su back?"

"Yes sir."

"Okay, go and watch it. Pay more attention and don't neglect the guests."

……

Liu Huan woke up in the dark, and Su Cheng had been waiting outside for a long time. "You sleep too much, hurry up and eat something. I'll take you to the city wall. It's so beautiful when it snows."

Liu Huan took the porridge and drank it directly, wiped his mouth and put on a thick cloak, "Let's go, I can do it now."

When I went outside, I saw a vast expanse of white. The whole city was covered in silver overnight, and there were few people on the streets.

“Why aren’t those vendors here?”

"With such heavy snow, no one will go out now. We have to wait until after noon. It's too cold."

"What do the cattle and sheep eat?"

"It's the hay that we stored in the summer. Many wolves come out to steal sheep these days. The sheep of villagers outside the city are often stolen."

"We're here." As they spoke, the two men climbed onto the city wall. The gatekeeper gave them some benefits and turned a blind eye to letting them go up.

Liu Huan looked out from the city wall and saw white snow everywhere. "I didn't expect to be able to see so far. I really want to go out and take a look."

"Forget it, it's not safe to go out, let's just take a look."

The wind and snow were so strong that when the two were about to leave, Liu Huan spotted a group of people approaching from a distance, standing out in the snow.

"Brother, what is that?"

Su Cheng looked over and saw that it was the enemy.

"Huanhuan, go back and find me quickly. Remember, if you notice something wrong, you and me should run out through the back city gate. I have something else to do, so I have to go back first."

When Liu Huan saw Su Cheng's face change, he knew that a war was about to begin again.

She hurried down and saw that the city gate was closed and flags were planted everywhere in the city.

The local people along the way were not panicked at all.

They even started to use snow to boil water in a large pot in an orderly manner.

Liu Huan stopped awkwardly, "Auntie, what are you doing?"

"The battle is about to begin. Let's boil some water and prepare it. If the soldiers need it, we will deliver it to them."

"What's the point of sending it over?" Liu Huan didn't know what boiling water had to do with fighting.

"After the fight, everyone is hungry and needs to kill cattle and sheep, which requires a lot of water." Liu Huan didn't know there was such a thing.

"Aren't you afraid of fighting?"

Although this question is stupid, I still can't help asking it.

"What are you afraid of? Our general can drive them back. We are used to their surprise attacks at this time."

"But it's winter and it's going to be hard to fight with thick clothes and snow everywhere, right?"

The old lady explained: "Young man, you don't understand. Those people are wearing animal skins, which are light and warm. Every one of them has one. Unlike us soldiers, especially those who have just arrived, many of them have not suffered much. This is the time for them to launch a surprise attack."

Liu Huan finally understood, and she asked why the emperor asked that the things be delivered before winter came.

Su Yi found her after receiving the news, "Why are you running around?"

"The young man took me to the city wall to see the snow. There were enemies coming over there, so he went back first. I didn't run around."

"Well, let's go back and wait for him."

Su Cheng didn't come back until the evening. He looked exhausted and there was blood on his battle robe. He was completely different from the day before.

"Are you okay, little brother?" Liu Huan asked

Su Cheng shook his head: "It's okay, they've been chased away. I just came to say that I have to go back first."

"Go." Liu Huan didn't know what to say and could only watch him leave.

He turned around and asked, "Shi Tou, how many people are there in this military camp?"

"About 100,000 people, what's going on?"

"I see that the battle suit that the young man is wearing is not warm enough. I want to see if there is any way to improve it. Otherwise, wearing so many clothes to go to war would be too disadvantageous."

The temperature at this border is at least minus 20 to 30 degrees Celsius, and cotton-padded jackets are not warm at all. No wonder the enemy chose to invade at this time.

Su Yi looked at her deeply, "What do you want to do?"

"Let me think about it again." She first thought of down jackets, but that was too unrealistic. Where could she get so much down?
