Lord Han was stunned, "Who would hurt you?"

Seeing that he believed it, Han Shuo quickly said, "That day I saw my elder brother go to Lord Su's house, I don't know..."

Compared to his eldest son, Lord Han believed his second son's words more. He felt that his second son's words made sense: "This rebellious son, why is he so fond of causing trouble?"

Han Shuo shook his head aggrievedly, "Forget it, Dad. I guess my brother didn't do it on purpose. He probably thought that Dad had always been too nice to me, so he wanted you to hate me."

Lord Han believed this completely, because since he was a child, Han You had used this method to attract Lord Han's attention.

Lord Han sighed, "Alas, I don't know why there is such a big gap between the two brothers."

Seeing this, Han Shuo said a few more words, "Dad, I think Lord Su has misunderstood me. I think he doesn't like me very much."

Lord Han thought about it seriously and said, "No, Lord Su is very good. Dad will introduce you to him next time."

"Thank you, Dad."

Lord Han felt very comfortable after hearing this and said, "When you have time, check on your brother and don't let him do anything embarrassing."

"Don't worry, Dad. I will."

……

Because the goose feathers were burnt, Liu Huan could only finish the rest for the time being and then ask people to go to the surrounding villages to buy more.

"In winter, swan feathers are less likely to be damaged. We can collect more ducks and geese from the nearest state capital. We only use the feathers, so the meat can be sold to the military camp."

Han You fanned himself and said, "Okay, I'll take care of it myself."

The cold wind blew onto Liu Huan, who rolled his eyes with a look of disgust, "Can you put away that broken fan of yours?"

Han You smiled awkwardly, "Sorry, I'm used to it."

Seeing that he accepted it, Liu Huan said, "We need to do this quickly. Although we can't earn much money, it can be considered a good deed."

Han You understood, "Yeah, I know, I'll leave as soon as I get back."

He started packing his things when he got back. Lord Han appeared in front of him with a cold face, "Where are you going now that you just got back?"

Han You glanced at him and started packing up again, "I'm going out to play for a few days, why did Dad ask me?"

"Go out and play, go out and play, can't you thank your brother for helping me like him? Can you not embarrass me? You dare to burn Lord Su's things, you are really lawless."

Han You sneered, "Did Han Shuo tell you this?"

"What Han Shuo? He's your brother."

"Dad, you really don't have to work so hard to make us brothers. From now on, I have no problem with Han Shuo being in charge of this family. I will be my playboy and he will be his young master of the Han family. We will not interfere with each other."

After saying that, he carried the bag and walked out of the door, "It's just... Dad, you're not old yet, you should look into many things more and don't be fooled by scammers."

After saying that, I ran away quickly, not wanting to listen to his nagging.

News came from the capital that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince used money from his private treasury to make clothes in order to protect the soldiers on the border from the cold.

With the money, Liu Huan started to work harder and asked Han You to build a large down jacket workshop in the neighboring state and start industrializing the production of clothes.

An incident was uncovered in the border town, which revealed that the largest Yihongyuan was trafficking in women. It was finally discovered that the boss behind the incident was the prefect's second young master.

If the prefect had not used his connections to find someone and impersonate someone else and then closed down the Yihongyuan, this matter would not be over yet.

Just as we took a break here, news broke out that a restaurant had caused food poisoning, and many people had to pay a large sum of money as compensation.

Han Shuo was so busy that he was exhausted. "What's going on? Why are there so many problems at once?"

"Sir, have you offended someone?"

Han Shuo thought of Su Yi, "Could it be him?"

No evidence was found even after someone investigated. Fortunately, the other party was not too ruthless and stopped after causing some damage to his business.

It seemed like a warning to him.

The winter at the border is very dull. Except for going out to buy things, you can only stay at home all the time because it is too cold.

Liu Huan looked at the burning cow dung without any thoughts in his mind.

Cow dung is really a magical treasure. Not only does it not smell bad, it even has a bit of grassy fragrance.

"Miss, this cow dung can be used to make fire. It's amazing."

"Yeah, I thought it would stink."

Qiu Rong said: "No wonder there are so few bare trees. I don't know where the firewood comes from. It turns out that this is what they burn."

The two of them were wrapped in thick quilts and warming themselves by the fire, feeling extremely comfortable.

Just as she was enjoying herself, Changbai pushed the door open from outside, turned her back and looked anxious, "Miss, please change your clothes quickly, I will take you out of here."

Liu Huan sat up and asked, "What happened?"

"There is a traitor in the military camp. The city gate was attacked last night. Enemy troops sneaked in and slaughtered many civilians. Enemy troops are coming from outside. The city is no longer safe."

Qiu Rong immediately packed up Liu Huan's belongings, and Liu Huan began to put on his clothes. "Why didn't your master come back?"

Changbai looked embarrassed, "The master can't leave for the time being, he has to stay."

Liu Huan was a little anxious: "Why would he stay here? He doesn't know how to fight."

Changbai didn't have time to explain, "Miss, let's talk as we go. They are breaking the city gate over there. It's not safe to go any later."

Qiu Rong packed up their things casually and said, "Miss, let's go."

When the two men went out, they found corpses everywhere and people fleeing with their bags.

Liu Huan had never seen such a scene before. He was protected by several big men and left towards the back city gate.

On the road, he met a few big men with black beards, killing people with machetes. Changbai passed that street and walked forward.

Along the way, we encountered several groups of people fighting, and the blood under our feet dyed the snow red.

"Didn't they say there were more than 100,000 soldiers? Why is there still a killing in the city?"

Changbai explained: "Most of them went to guard the city gates and fight outside the city, leaving only a small number to clean up these soldiers, so naturally the speed will be slower."

As they were talking and walking, suddenly several enemies came out from the next alley and slashed at them with knives.

Just as Changbai was about to go to fight, another group of people came out to stop him, "Take Huanhuan away first, and don't leave for a moment. Don't worry about the others."

Liu Huan felt like crying when he heard the voice, "Little brother, be careful."

Su Cheng paused for a moment without looking back, and took out something with his left hand. It was the amulet that Liu Huan had asked for him.

He swung the knife in his right hand to the side, and an enemy fell to the ground instantly.

Liu Huan felt relieved upon seeing this, and followed Changbai all the way to the back city gate.

Su Yi arrived just in time, his clothes were covered in blood. Liu Huan rushed over to him, "Are you hurt anywhere?"

Su Yi stroked her face with his clean hands, "It's okay, you follow Changbai to Suzhou Prefecture, Shang Hanyou will come back to pick you up on the way, wait for me there, don't be afraid."

Liu Huan knew that talking too much now would just be a waste of time, so she held back her tears and nodded, "Okay, I'll wait for good news from you and Xiao Shi."

Su Yi looked at her very restrainedly, said "Don't cry", then rode away on his horse. Liu Huan and Qiu Rong got on the carriage.

Changbai was the coachman, and the carriage wasn't running very fast, and there were people guarding it from front, back, left and right. Liu Huan felt that the carriage was different, and after careful study he discovered that the carriage had a layer of iron sheet, including the door.

She didn't know how long she ran before she arrived at a post station, changed horses, and Changbai handed her a brazier, and continued running.

It took me five days to get halfway through the run, and I hardly stopped except for eating, going to the bathroom, and taking a short break at night.

When they arrived at the next post station, Changbai stopped the carriage and knocked on the door, "Miss, we have arrived at the post station."

Liu Huan looked pale, "Is it coming?"

Changbai said, "We are still halfway to go, Miss, it is safe now. You can follow Master Han to Suzhou Prefecture, and I will go back to pick you up."

Liu Huan nodded, "Okay, be careful, I'll wait for you in Suzhou."

Changbai bowed and left. Han You took her into the post station and said, "Eat something before you leave."

"Yeah." Liu Huan changed into men's clothes two days ago, so it would be convenient for him to go in and out with Han You.

While eating, I heard someone inside saying, "We don't know how long this war will last. It's making business difficult now."

"That's right. I used to go to the border town to get some leather and sell it. But I'm afraid it will be hard this year."

New Year?

Yes, the Chinese New Year is just a month away, and I don’t know if I can celebrate this year in peace and tranquility.

After hearing this, Liu Huan no longer enjoyed his meal.

He quickly ate a bowl and said he was full.

Han You did not try to persuade her. He changed the horse for the carriage, added a new brazier, and waited for her to sit down before continuing on his journey.

It took another five days to reach Suzhou Prefecture. Suzhou Prefecture was not much better than the border town, as it both belonged to the western part of the State of Li.

The ground was covered with snow and the wind was howling.

The soldiers guarding the city took a look at the pass, checked it casually and then let them pass.

Han You took her directly to the yard next to the down jacket workshop.

"You can live here. It's convenient with so many people around. If you have nothing to do, you can go and give them some guidance and see how the clothes they make are."

Liu Huan was glad that he did not build the workshop in the border town, otherwise it would have been destroyed by the enemy by now.

"Okay, I'll take a nap first." She felt her head buzzing.

At this moment, she didn't want to think about anything and just wanted to lie in bed and sleep.

But I woke up not long after falling asleep. I was worried and couldn't sleep well.

Fortunately, after waking up, I received good news: a letter arrived from the border town.

Liu Huan couldn't wait to open it. Inside was a letter from Su Yi, saying that he was fine and there was no need to worry.

Liu Huan put aside his worries for the time being and devoted himself to making down jackets in the workshop. He would go out for a walk when he had nothing to do, because it was too cold and not many people came out.

These places are not as good as Beijing and the south of the Yangtze River because of the lack of rain and the loess, so people are very frugal.

It’s close to the border town, and as long as that place is breached, this place will be the next, so everyone’s life is not easy.

Their ancestors have lived here for generations, and because of the poverty, few people will leave, nor dare to leave.

This down jacket workshop is the largest business in Suzhou Prefecture, and almost one-third of the people come to work here.

The men washed and dried the goose down, while the women cleaned the goose down. The remaining duck meat was chilled with snow and transported to the border town.

Since there were not many ducks and geese in Suzhou Prefecture, many people were sent to other places to collect them from villages, counties and towns.

It greatly boosted the economy of Suzhou Prefecture.

The battle lasted until New Year's Eve, when Su Yi brought Su Cheng to Suzhou to reunite. The moment they entered the yard, Liu Huan almost couldn't recognize them.

"come on in"

She didn't say anything, but felt upset in her heart. She quickly asked someone to fetch water. The clothes had already been prepared. The two of them went back to their rooms to take off their clothes, washed up, and then came to the main hall, where a large table was already filled with food.

Liu Huan served them the food: "Eat quickly, it's all hot."

Both of them were shaking a little when they picked up the chopsticks, and their hands were covered with cuts and cracks, which was shocking to see.

Liu Huan pretended not to see it and continued to eat bite by bite. Qiu Rong and Chang Bai, who were sitting beside them, seemed a little uncomfortable as it was their first time eating with them.

After everyone finished their meal with their own thoughts, Liu Huan took out the ointment he had bought earlier and applied it to the two of them.

"Are you still going?" There was anticipation in his eyes, hoping that Su Yi would say no.

Su Yi looked into her eyes and said seriously, "Yes, we will leave early tomorrow morning. We are just a little bit away. If everything goes well, we will go home next month."

The voice was made hoarse by the wind and snow.

Liu Huan opened her mouth but didn't say anything. Su Yi asked Su Cheng to go and rest first, and he pulled Liu Huan into her room.

I closed the door and leaned my head against her, "Let me lean on you."

He fell asleep quickly after leaning on her. Liu Huan couldn't move him. Su Yi opened his eyes and took a look at her, then followed her hand and lay down on the bed, hugging her as well.

"Sleep with me."

Liu Huan patted him, just like when he coaxed himself to sleep when he was a child, "Go to sleep."

I was not sleepy at first, but because of his embrace, I started to feel sleepy. I yawned and fell into a sweet sleep.

The two of them slept until late at night and then woke up at the same time.

"Would you like to sleep a little longer?"

After a good sleep, Su Yi's voice recovered a little. Liu Huan thought this posture was very ambiguous, and he rolled out of his arms in an instant, "I slept well, are you leaving?"

I was about to get up and help him pack his things, but he stopped me, "It's still early, it's cold outside if you sleep."

The charcoal fire in the room had gone out long ago and it was indeed cold. Liu Huan shivered with cold just by lifting a corner of the quilt.

He quickly got in again, and finding that he was not warm here, he rolled over to Su Yi and put his feet on him.

When I heard him groan, I thought his toenails were too long and had caught someone.

"Is it painful? Let me see."

As she was about to lift the quilt, Su Yi hugged her with the quilt, "It's okay, don't move unless you're hurt."

Liu Huan was unsure when he saw his ears were a little red, "Why are your ears so red?"

Su Yi buried his head in the quilt, "Maybe it's because of the cold."

"Huan Huan," he suddenly called out very seriously, and looked at her seriously and said, "Let's go back to Qingyang County this time, okay? I want to marry you."

"We can have children later. I just want to have a home with you." His tone and eyes were so serious that Liu Huan couldn't bear to refuse.

"Okay, then you and little brother must come back safely."

Liu Huan suddenly felt that getting married was no big deal. He would have to get married sooner or later, and it would just be fine when the child was a little older.

After getting the promise, Su Yi put her hand to his lips and kissed it, then kissed her forehead devoutly.

I left very restrainedly, "Okay~"

Liu Huan looked at his thin lips, which were a little chapped.

She leaned forward and kissed him, and said seriously, "Your skin is flaking. Let me moisturize it for you."
