[Zuzhou] White clothes in the world

After the rain, it is not the first sunshine but the heavy snowfall.The horseshoes were wrapped in sheepskin, and they stepped on the grassland after the snow, echoing the low sound of horseshoes.A hundred feet away from the barren wilderness, Sha Yangren tightened the reins of the horse, Chi Lu Fei let out a long hiss, breaking the silence between heaven and earth.

In the wind and snow, a dark figure came staggering against the wind and snow, every step he took had to stop for a moment, only a few dozen steps in front of Sha Yangren, he walked for half an hour.

The thick fleece on his body was covered with ice slag, and the heavy snow in the first month of Beimo was enough to freeze the entire wilderness, completely isolating Beimo from Zuzhou.

The dark figure stopped in front of Sha Yangren, he knelt down, and Sha Yangren supported his hands. "Thank you, Lang Qirong."

Lan Qixuan's eyebrows and hair protruding from the hood were frozen, and his cheeks were flushed from the cold wind.He didn't care about his current situation, put his hands on his chest and said respectfully: "General Shu asked his subordinates to send a message to the lord that Shi Le's three armies have gathered at the northern boundary of Xuanzhi County, and they will send troops to Beimo soon. "

Sha Yangren nodded, looked at the vast wilderness, and said with a sneer, "Will they come even though the road is blocked by ice and snow?"

Lang Qixuan frowned tightly: "My lord, sir said that the four counties of Yankong are in dire straits. The imperial general in Shile has never left the city since he captured the imperial capital of Yankong. In order to protect the four counties of Yankong, sir, he had to stay in the imperial capital and fight with him." General Yu is around, and as for the five thousand ink cavalry, Mister will also stay."

Sha Yangren seemed to have known for a long time that Mo Lianzhi would not return to Beimo to advance and retreat with him. After all, Mo Lianzhi was just a guest in Beimo, and with the five thousand dollars that Sha Yangren promised Mo Lianzhi Mo Gao cavalry, even if they trek all night, they will be nothing but the light of sparks, without any help, and even lose the four counties of Yankong because of this, Sha Yangren agrees with Mo Lianzhi's consideration.

"Who is the leader of Shi Le this time?" Sha Yangren squinted his eyes. He knew the answer a long time ago, but he had doubts in his heart. It was less than a month before the Yan Kong Emperor was captured, and Shi Le's army reorganized the three armies , sent the army northward, doesn't Yunluan care about the throne?

Lang Qirong said again: "It's Yunfeng, the chief general of Shile who just captured Nanxun Kingdom."

"It's him?" The answer was beyond Sha Yangren's expectation. It was clear that Yunluan was leading the army when he was in Yankong, why did he change the leader this time?

"Shi... Yunluan returned to Cangluo City?" Sha Yangren thought for a while, and knew that Yunluan should have returned to Cangluo first.

"Yes."

"Oh, interesting, this kind of time to send troops to the north is also in line with the style of Shi Le's unexpected chief general." Sha Yangren rode straight on the horseback, raised his arms, and said loudly: "Give me orders! Everyone retreat to Lijin City to set up city defenses! I want to see how the chief general of Shi Le crosses the frozen wilderness!"

"Yes!" The resounding echo resounded through the sky, and the falcon-like eyes of the man riding on the fiery red horse revealed a sharp light.

The white pieces fall, blocking the final way out, and the black chess pieces fall into a dead end.

Mo Lianzhi threw the sunspot in his hand back into the chess box, and glanced resentfully at the calm-minded person opposite.Gu Minglan was picking up the chess pieces on the chessboard and putting them back into the chess box, without looking at Mo Lianzhi's expression, she just said to herself: "I never thought that Mr. Wang's chess game is so narrow that he can't see through my plan. Is it the game?"

Mo Lianzhi's brows that were originally frowned suddenly opened, and he said with a chuckle, "I'm a businessman, and the decision to kill on the chessboard is all based on feeling."

"The game of chess is like a game of war, sir, don't relax." Gu Minglan looked up at Mo Lianzhi who was smiling indifferently, took out a white piece from the chess box, and landed it on the lower right side near her.

"Still playing?" Mo Lianzhi frowned again, if it wasn't for the heavy snow today, he wouldn't be sitting here discussing the chess game with Gu Minglan.This boring and brain-burning chess game is too boring for him, but the person sitting opposite him is full of interest, and playing for a whole morning is not enough.

"It's snowing all over the city. If you don't want to play, sir, why don't you accompany me for a tour outside the city?" Gu Minglan dropped the chess pieces and looked at Mo Lianzhi with a slight smile.

Mo Lian reached into the chess box, shook his head and said, "I have seen snow in Beimo for more than 30 years, and finally arrived at Yankong, do you want to see it again?"

Gu Minglan watched Mo Lianzhi make a move on the chessboard: "Then Gu will be impolite."

Mo Lianzhi wondered whether Gu Minglan had ever been polite when asking for advice on chess skills. He clearly saw that he couldn't play chess, so he killed everyone. If he met someone who could play chess, Gu Minglan might have dragged him to the same chess board. Enjoy the snow.Thinking so, but Mo Lian's chess skills are really not good, and he doesn't want to go out to watch the snow, so he simply accompanied Gu Minglan to kill the Quartet and steal the teacher by the way.

The two of you make a piece, and I seal the way. After about three quarters of an hour, the winner and loser were already clear, and Mo Lianzhi's defeat was decided. He randomly dropped a piece on the chessboard, took a sip of the Suju in front of him, and took a sip. The tea was fragrant, and Mo Lian still had another sip.

Gu Minglan made the last move of the round, and the winner was announced. Mo Lianzhi smiled and handed a cup of tea to Gu Minglan: "Do you want to continue, General Gu?"

Gu Minglan used the lid of the cup to filter out the tea foam, looked up and looked out the window, the moonlight was already thick, it was time to rest.Gu Minglan took a sip of hot tea and said with a smile, "Let's eat."

Mo Lianzhi's eyes widened, his interest was just stirred up by Gu Minglan, but Gu Minglan couldn't stop. "Let me win a round." Mo Lianzhi was a little depressed.

"Mr. Mo is not hungry, but Gu is." Gu Minglan put down her teacup and said.

It turned out to be dinner.Mo Lian couldn't help but clapped his hands to ask someone to prepare a meal, but was held down by Gu Minglan. "Why, aren't you hungry?" Mo Lianzhi said.

"Mr. Mo, would you like to help Gu?" Gu Minglan asked sincerely, but Mo Lianzhi nodded in agreement even though his face changed.

It is said to be a helper, but in fact it is serving food for Gu Minglan. Gu Minglan's speed is not as fast as the cook in Mo Lianzhi's mansion. The cook who was taken over by Gu Minglan watched Gu Minglan chopping vegetables and tossing spoons in a daze. , pinched his face to make sure if he was dreaming.

Mo Lian knew that Gu Minglan could cook a long time ago, but now seeing Gu Minglan's busy work, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he forcibly withdrew the smile on his face.

But after a while, three vegetarian dishes and three meat dishes with a pot of peach blossom wine were served on the table.Gu Minglan told Mo Lianzhi that he should push away all irrelevant people, and then poured a glass of peach blossom wine into the empty wine glass in front of Mo Lianzhi, and raised his glass to Mo Lianzhi.

Mo Lianzhi looked at the person opposite who raised his glass, and finally couldn't help but burst into laughter: "Mo Jingzhi said that your cooking skills are the best in Zuzhou. I didn't believe it at the beginning, but now I can't believe it!" He raised his wine glass and clinked it with Gu Minglan.

The aroma of peach blossom wine spread in the mouth, driving away the chill of Shuoyue.Mo Lianzhi picked up the chopsticks and took a piece of beef. The beef was smooth and chewy, and it was more delicious than what he had eaten before.Mo Lianzhi couldn't help picking up another piece, but he saw that the face of the person opposite suddenly turned down, and he retracted the chopsticks in his hand.

Gu Minglan picked up the jug on the table and poured wine into her glass slowly: "Mr. Mo, have you ever heard that there is no good banquet and no good wine?"

Mo Lian subconsciously glanced at the empty wine glass in front of him, his expression tensed instantly: "You..." But just as he said one word, Gu Minglan stretched out his right index finger and pressed it on Mo Lianzhi's lips .

Gu Minglan smiled lightly: "I'm sorry, I have delayed Mr. Mo for so long, this meal is an apology."

Mo Lianzhi thought that Gu Minglan had done something wrong with the meal, but after waiting for a while, he didn't feel anything strange. Hearing what Gu Minglan said, Mo Lianzhi suddenly raised the corner of his mouth, and took Gu Minglan's hand with one hand: "Didn't you stay in Yankong just to hold me back? Why does General Gu feel guilty today?"

Gu Minglan sighed: "Mr. Shile Xu Yi suddenly sent troops to Beimo the day before yesterday in Yankong four counties. Gu feels guilty."

"Oh?" Mo Lianzhi didn't believe that Gu Minglan was really ashamed. The person in front of him was doing every step of the way. He and Gu Minglan were pretending to be a snake, but now Gu Minglan said to him "I have a guilty conscience", what a god big joke.

Gu Minglan looked up at Mo Lianzhi: "Whether Mr. Mo believes it or not, Gu must apologize to Mr. Mo." He stood up, raised his glass to Mo Jingzhi again, and drank the wine with his head raised.

Mo Lianzhi always felt that there was something in Gu Minglan's words today, and before he could ask what Gu Minglan was doing today, suddenly there was a rush of footsteps outside the door, Mo Lianzhi's heart froze, he stood up, Striding towards the door, he saw a few Beimo high cavalry soldiers running towards him, covered in blood, dying. Behind them was a group of Tianyu soldiers in silver armor. Everyone's sword blades were covered with blood. .

"Sir...save..." Beimo Gaoqi, who was the first to run up to Mo Lianzhi, separated before he finished speaking.Then there was a wailing sound from the originally quiet courtyard, and it became quiet again for a while.With the pungent smell of blood in the cold night wind, Mo Lianzhi finally understood what Gu Minglan meant.

"What's wrong with the five thousand Northern Desert High Cavalry Army?" Mo Lianzhi turned around slowly, looked at the man with a cold face opposite, picked up a piece of beef and put it in his mouth, as if nothing happened, and said through gritted teeth.

Gu Minglan said indifferently: "Earlier, I gave you the opportunity to invite you to enjoy the snow outside the city. If you agree, the [-] Beimo High Cavalry Army will not be wiped out overnight."

"You designed me?" Mo Lianzhi sneered, Gu Minglan deliberately invited him to play chess for a whole day, but sealed him in the courtyard without getting any news.

Gu Minglan turned to look at Mo Lianzhi, her expression unchanged: "Soldiers never tire of cheating, I have already told Mr. Mo in the chess game."

"The four prefectures of Yankong Mountain were promised by you!"

"That's why I spared my husband's life." Gu Minglan was not afraid at all.

"You!" Mo Lianzhi pointed at Gu Minglan, and suddenly understood, "Yunluan has already ascended the throne?"

Gu Minglan was solemn, and said seriously: "Now that the king has restored his surname, Mr. Mo please speak carefully."

Caution?Mo Lianzhi thought it was funny, he is not from Shile, why should he speak carefully? "Would it be the same for Shu Xibai's [-] Northern Desert High Cavalry Army?"

Gu Minglan nodded: "General Shu resisted stubbornly and jumped off the city wall. His body was buried in Chilong County. Five thousand Beimo cavalry troops refused to surrender. The lord can only annihilate the entire army as a warning to others." Next, Gu Minglan sneered, "You, like Mo Jingzhi, trust that woman too much."
