    Chen Lu said: "It's up to you, your Majesty. But to be honest, I don't like horse meat very much. It's too fishy, ??so I just have to make do with it." After saying that, he put it all into his mouth in a few bites.  Nalan looked at him, tears welling up in his eyes, and Ha San saw it.

    After lunch, it was just at the first quarter of noon when Li Da ordered the march. At this time, it started to snow lightly. There was no wind and it did not affect the march.  But Li Da knew that such snow would often turn into heavy snowfall.

    The delegation walked more than 20 miles and came to a canyon with steep cliffs on the left and an official road full of thorns on the right. They walked along this official road for another 30 miles, almost all of which were mountain roads, and finally  After walking out of the valley, the snow was still falling slowly.

    Li Da looked at the road. It was not covered with snow. There was a small stream that was not frozen. The ground was full of dead branches and leaves, which was perfect for letting horses go.  So he ordered to rest for half an hour. Everyone was not hungry, so they quickly let the horses drink the camels, drank some water, and prepared the torches. It was getting dark.  After resting for more than half an hour, Li Da gave the order to set off. As soon as the clapper sounded, Ha San ordered to light torches and move northwest along the creek.

    Everyone felt that it was getting colder and colder as they walked. Judging from the torches and snow shadows, they could see that they were surrounded by bare rocky mountains with no trees. The snow was gradually getting heavier and there were no official roads. Li Da was afraid that he would go the wrong way, so he called Chen Lu.  Chen Lu was right.  This river is called Yinggou River, and you can¡¯t go wrong if you follow it northwest.

    But this river is in a mountain stream, and people and horses must drive on mountain roads. The snow is heavy and it is getting colder and colder.  Ha San asked for permission to rest, but Li Da refused and continued to speed up. Ha San had no choice but to urge the troops forward.  In fact, Ha San wanted the soldiers to change into cotton-padded clothes.

    It was only then that the officers and soldiers knew why the Xuanwei Division had issued a cotton-padded coat, and they all thought of the prince.

    Han Liuer found the cloak and asked Chen Lu to put it on.  Chen Lu refused.  Li Da ordered Chen Lu to ride in the car, but Chen Lu did not obey the order and rode ahead.  After walking for more than sixty miles, the chicken man came to report that it was already midnight, so Li Da ordered a rest.

    Ha San lined up the baggage cars in a ring, set up a big tent, went around to chop wood, get water, and make a fire for cooking.  Chen Lu was asking for ghost charms, Han Liu'er was responsible for delivering them outside, and Hu Chun and others posted ghost charms on the baggage and the tent.

    This time, the soldiers of the Xuanwei Division were much more honest. The four people killed in the battle were all theirs, and ten of them were captured by the salt ghost, all of whom were soldiers of Yesu.  Now they don't dare to go too far and just do their job honestly.

    It was too late for Ha San to check the time. He looked up into the sky and saw a black shadow among the flying snowflakes. He could not see it clearly enough on this snowy night.  However, he had been taught by strangers and knew that there were some unclean things, so he ordered all the water fetchers to be called back and checked on the horses and camels.

    Everyone returned to the car ring and changed into cotton-padded clothes.  Ha San saw several rays of light emitting from the ghost talisman on the car and was on full alert. He hurriedly ran to tell Chen Lu.  Chen Lu said: "I saw it too. Don't make any noise for now. We will leave immediately at dawn."

    When everyone was eating, Chen Lu asked Han Liu'er to tell Li Da that he ate in his tent and could not get through.  In fact, he was paying close attention to the movement and saw that the ghost talisman only flashed a few times and then returned to calm.  Slightly relieved.

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????It¡¯s already the fourth watch.  At the second moment of Chouzheng, the cloud board rang, and all the tents turned off the lights and took a rest.

    Chen Lu only slept for half an hour before waking up.  He was worried, so he put on his big cloak and walked out of the tent. Snow had already covered the ground, and flakes of snow as big as shrub leaves were falling straight down.  Based on experience, Chen Lu knew that this was a heavy snowstorm.

    Chen Lu quietly walked towards Hasan's tent. There were sentries patrolling in the snow. When they saw Chen Lu, they were about to salute. Chen Lu signaled them to be silent and walked to Hasan's tent.  Ha San was already awake, lying on the bed and looking outside.  Seeing Chen Lu come in, he was surprised and quickly stood up to greet him.  According to official rank, Ha San is already a fourth-grade military attache and should not be giving gifts to Chen Lu.  But this is someone he respects, and besides, he is the deputy envoy of the mission and also belongs to the chief.

    Ha San said: "Brother Chen, what a coincidence. I wanted to find you, but I was afraid of affecting your rest, so I didn't expect you to come to me first."

    "Brother, I came here to discuss something urgent with you. Looking at it now, we can't leave, so we have to make preparations quickly. It will be dawn soon, and all ghosts and monsters will be hidden. Order the soldiers to leave the camp."

    Ha San nodded in agreement and said: "The heroes really have the same idea. The main thing is firewood and water. Water is easy to handle. The river in front is not frozen. You can also dig a well. If it doesn't work, you can use snow to boil water. The main thing is firewood.  There aren¡¯t many trees around here.¡±

    Chen Lu said: "No matter how far it is, you must prepare at least three days of firewood and set up a fence. This is a foolproof plan."

    Hasan said:??Brother, are you worried about something weird?  "

    Chen Lu sighed and said, "It's not that I'm worried. You already know that they have already visited. Without further ado, I ordered the engineering sentry and the labor team to cut firewood. I'm afraid that after a while, heavy snow will close the mountain and we will be passive."

    Ha San said: "Brother, please come back and rest for a while. I will make arrangements right away."

    When Chen Lu returned to the tent, Han Liuer and the others were still asleep, and it was almost dawn.  Chen Lu saw rows of torches leaving the camp.  Xizi came over and woke up Han Liuer.  Chen Lu secretly laughed. One by one, they were sleeping like dead pigs. They called them protecting me, but it wasn't necessarily who was protecting whom!

    Xizi saw that Chen Lu was already dressed and his boots were covered with snow, so he knew that he had already made an inspection tour.  He said, "Your Majesty, the envoy has invited you." After saying that, he led the way with a lantern, and Chen Lu arrived at the Chinese army's tent. Li Da sat in the meeting hall with a tired look on his face, and Nalan stood by the pillar with his sword in his arms and Chen Lu  Nodding to each other.

    Chen Lu quickly saluted Li Da, and Li Da said: "Master Zicheng, you are tired enough. I woke you up so early. I can't walk in this posture. I see it's quite lively outside. How did Ha San arrange it?"  ?¡±

    Chen Lu explained their arrangements.  Only then did Li Da realize that Mr. Chen had already gotten up and said, "You have made very thoughtful arrangements. However, I think so and discuss it with you. We will set off now and set up camp in a densely populated area.  what do you think?"

    Chen Lu said: "Your Excellency, you have considered this carefully. This is good, but the sentinel said that there are no people around for more than 20 miles ahead. With such heavy snow, I am afraid that I will not be able to go very far before being trapped. What if I arrive without firewood?"  Where there is no water, you cannot move forward or retreat, and if you are trapped for a few days, that will be a big trouble."

    "Oh, so you have already considered this issue."

    Xizi said: "Sir, when I went to call Master Chen, he had already returned from General Ha's place."

    Li Da was very moved and said: "Master Zicheng, you can't do this. After all, you are running for a fifty-year-old man. You must pay more attention to rest than Ha San and others." (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.  com
