Reborn to abuse the scumbag, the demon queen destroyed her ex-husband's entire family

At the same time, General Yao also thought that it was not good to always borrow from others, after all, you have to pay it back.

So he asked his son to take a team of people, disguised as a caravan, and go wherever there were bandits robbing the road. He managed to eliminate many bandits and seize a lot of food, which solved his urgent problem.

Of course, Xiao Ruge didn't know all this. At this time, she had already changed to a horse and galloped all the way, finally catching up with Mu Gu on the third day.

In winter, the days are short and the nights are long, and the wind is freezing cold, so Mu Gu couldn't move very fast with the carts of food.

After Xiao Ruge caught up, he asked people to prepare double the number of horses at the next post station. Two horses pulled one grain cart, and finally they increased the speed.

That day, the group missed the post station because they were in a hurry and had to camp in the wilderness.

After Mu Gu arranged the patrol guards, he rubbed his hands and returned to the tent.

Xiao Ruge had been waiting for him in the tent. There was ginger and sugar water boiling on the small clay stove. Noticing that his face was pale from the cold, she quickly poured him a bowl of it to warm him up.

Mu Gu drank half a bowl in one breath, and then he felt his frozen body warming up a little. Then he sat in front of the charcoal brazier and warmed his hands by the fire.

It was inconvenient for Xiao Ruge to follow Mu Gu around, and it was inconvenient for her to dress as a girl, so she disguised herself as a man and pretended to be Mu Gu's bodyguard. This made things easier for her.

This made Mu Gu very happy. Whenever he had a rest time, he would use his power for personal gain and always ask Xiao Ruge to "serve" him personally. The two of them ate and slept together almost every day, and their relationship became even closer.

"The closer we get to Qizhou, the colder the weather is. When I came in just now, the sky looked gloomy. I wonder if it will snow in the second half of the night?"

There was a bit of worry in his eyes. Seeing Xiao Ruge also sitting next to him, Mu Gu dragged the stool towards her.

Reaching out to fill the remaining half bowl of ginger sugar water in Mu Gu's hand, Xiao Ruge also sighed, with an indelible look of sadness and worry on her face.

"We have already rushed to Qizhou as quickly as possible. If the weather is not good and the snow slows down the journey, there is nothing we can do."

It was freezing cold and there was still a lot of snow on the road, so it was not safe to travel at night. Therefore, no matter how anxious the two of them were, they did not let everyone travel at night.

At most, you can get up a little earlier and rest a little later.

"By the way, we didn't have so much food when we went to Qizhou for disaster relief this time. It was the Chengyang Marquis' Mansion that took out the food from the Zhu family's grain shop, and that's how we gathered the tens of thousands of dan of disaster relief food."

Mu Gu took another sip of ginger sugar water and whispered to Xiao Ruge about the origin of the disaster relief grain.

The two men knew very well how much grain was left in the capital. Most of it was bought up by Old Man Sun, otherwise Mu Gu would not have gone to Jiangnan to collect grain.

What the Zhu family is doing now can be considered a good thing.

But the more likely reason is that he wanted to apologize for Zhu Chengxi and to please Mu Gu so that he would not hold a grudge against Zhu Chengxi for what happened last time and would let him go.

Both of them were smart people, so they naturally knew the reason why Marquis Chengyang did this. They probably thought that the old lady of the Zhu family was putting pressure on him.

However, Marquis Chengyang also knew the principle that when one prospers, all prosper; when one suffers, all suffer.

Even if Madam Zhu didn't say anything, he would still clean up his nephew's mess, otherwise he was afraid that Mu Gu would be angry and the entire Zhu family would be implicated.

The two sat together and talked for a while before taking a break.

In the second half of the night, the wind got stronger, carrying snowflakes that fell down. Xiao Ruge felt cold in her sleep and unconsciously looked for a source of heat around her.

Mu Gu was sleeping soundly when he felt a soft body crawling into his arms.

He opened his eyes and saw Xiao Ruge nestled in his arms. A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he hugged her tightly without any hesitation.

Xiao Ruge had a nightmare. She dreamed that she returned to her previous life and was chased by enemies and fled to a dense forest. Just when she was dizzy and couldn't find a way out, a big snake coiled around her.

The snake was as thick as a large vat, and its bloody mouth was wide open with long venomous fangs exposed. Just when she thought her life was over, the snake spoke.

"Ruge, will you marry me? If not, I will cling to you for the rest of my life!"

What was even more bizarre was that the voice actually belonged to Mu Gu. She was so scared that her eyes widened and she woke up instantly in horror.

She took two deep breaths, and when she came to her senses, she realized that she had had a very strange dream.

Then she found that she was held in Mu Gu's arms. His arms were like an iron hoop, trapping her tightly.

No wonder I had such a strange dream. It turned out that it was because Mu Gu was holding me and I couldn’t move.

She struggled but failed to break free. When she saw Mu Gu's trembling eyelids, she realized that this man was pretending to be asleep.

She was so angry that she turned her wrist, took out a silver needle from her sleeve, and stabbed it into Mu Gu's thigh.

"what……"

A guard who was patrolling outside the door happened to pass by and heard screams coming from Mu Gu's tent. He hurriedly asked if something had happened.

If Mo Yi hadn't been standing outside the door with an expressionless face, they would have rushed in.

"It's okay, go and get busy!"

After a long while, Mu Gu's voice was heard in the tent, and it sounded quite normal.

The patrolmen looked at each other in bewilderment, and some wanted to ask Mo Yi what happened in the tent, but Mo Yi gave them a cold look, and they immediately turned around and continued patrolling.

In the tent, Mu Gu gasped as he pulled out the silver needle from his thigh. After Xiao Ruge stretched out her hand, he placed the silver needle respectfully on her palm.

"Ruge, I'm your fiancé, you don't have to be so cruel to me, right?"

Even though he was wearing thick clothes in winter, Mu Gu felt that the needle had pricked him quite hard and he must have been bleeding!

Xiao Ruge glared at him, snorted, and left the tent.

Mu Gu followed with a grin on his face. As soon as he came out, a strong cold wind blew in his face, making him shiver.

The heavy snow had not stopped at this time, it was just a little smaller, but still very heavy.

In order to make cooking easier, the cook set up a shed over the stove and was cooking porridge, which was almost ready.

During the march, the food was naturally not as good as at home. Xiao Ruge had previously stayed in the army with General Xiao for a period of time, so she had no objection to this.

Mu Gu is not a pretentious person, otherwise he would not have come out in the middle of winter to provide disaster relief just because of Xiao Ruge's words.

After a quick breakfast, everyone set off again in the heavy snow.

This time it was more difficult than before because it snowed and the roads were covered with snow. Cars often fell into snow pits because they couldn't see the road clearly.

Every time this happens, someone needs to push the cart, and the journey slows down a lot.

Fortunately, the heavy snow finally stopped near noon, the dark clouds dispersed, and the sun came out and shone on the snow, making people squint their eyes.

Seeing that everyone was unable to open their eyes due to the glare from the snow, Xiao Ruge signaled Mu Gu to take a break first, cook a meal, and then set off after lunch.
