Chapter 683: The Lost Dog

He pulled off a piece of cloak and wrapped the wound around. It was cold every day and the wound would not become suppurated, otherwise the trouble would be great. After a while of breathing, Cao Ping looked at his companion who was also so tired that he collapsed on the ground. He looked at Princess Xinmei again, and his eyebrows were twisted into a deep Sichuan character.

During the first wave of pursuit yesterday, Xinmei was injured and supported her for another day. She was exhausted. She looked like she could never go to Weizhou. Besides, there were tens of thousands of Yulin soldiers who were isolated from the passage between them and Weizhou. Fortunately, the two little princesses were lucky and had no hair injured during this fight, but they were frightened.

Looking back at the vast wind and snow, I don’t know when a wave of deadly Yan Luo will burst out from it.

"Can't leave!" Cao Ping looked at his companion, "If you leave, the princess will not be able to hold on for now."

"Let's go!" Xinmei supported her body with a knife and stood up with difficulty. "I would rather die than fall into Li Jian's hands again."

"Princess, you must live, we cannot fall in front of victory." Cao Ping said decisively, carrying a knife, and walked forward dozens of steps. There was a slope there. Cao Ping half-kneeled on the ground and digging frantically, "Come here, dig a hole here."

Several guards understood what Cao Ping meant, walked over and helped Cao Ping dig out the snow. Under the snow, the soil was frozen very hard, and every time they dig, it took a lot of effort.

Xinmei wanted to stand up and help, but her legs became weak and she worked hard several times but failed.

As night falls, the cold wind becomes stronger and the snow becomes heavier.

"Enough. Hidden three people. No problem!" Cao Ping came out of the cave. With his size, it was more than enough to hide in both of them, and the cute Xinmei and two underage dolls had plenty of space inside.

"Empress, I'm sorry for you!" Cao Ping took off his cloak and carefully spread it into the hole. The other people also took off their cloaks and spread them on the ground to block the coldness in the hole. "You and the two little princesses hide in. No matter what happens, don't come out until we come back."

Xinmei knew that this was the only way out now. She took her mother and son and had almost no chance to escape. Holding her daughter in both hands, she walked into the cave.

Cao Ping knelt in front of the cave, lifted up the snow with both hands, erected a snow wall at the entrance of the cave, and seemed to remember something. He took out a bag of things from his body, looked back at his companion behind him and said, "Take out all the rations."

Put these dried foods such as jerky into the cave. Cao Ping and several guards sealed the entrance of the cave with snow. The few of them were veterans, and they didn't take much time to disguise the outside and the surrounding environment.

"I have seen it clearly and remember the terrain here!" Cao Ping said sternly: "We will scatter and attract pursuers. No matter who finds the Fourth Master's troops, we will return here as soon as possible and rescue the Empress and the two young masters. Do you understand?"

"clear!"

Cao Ping turned around and bowed to Xinmei behind the snow wall and said, "Empress, take care of yourself, we will definitely come back."

Xinmei in the cave hugged her two daughters and said firmly: "We will definitely wait until you come back alive."

Cao Ping nodded and looked around, "Let's go!" Several people slapped each other with high-highs, turned around and disappeared into the vast wind and snow, snow was flying all over the sky, and in less than an hour, they hid their traces of leaving without a trace.

The cave was pitch black, and Xinmei hugged Duoer and Xin'er tightly.

"Mother, why are they leaving? Do they ignore us?" Duoer asked in a low voice, holding his mother's clothes tightly.

"It's not that they don't care about us anymore, they're going to find reinforcements!" Xinmei said softly.

"Mom, I'm scared!" Xin'er's voice trembled.

"Don't be afraid, my mother is here. Xin'er closes her eyes, sleeps for a while, and when she wakes up, she can see her father!" Xinmei said softly.

"Really, mom, then I'll close my eyes and sleep!" Duo'er said happily. The two little girls hugged each other tightly, leaned in Xinmei's arms, and closed their eyes.

Xinmei felt sad. If Cao Ping and his friends could not escape the danger and were killed in the snow by Li Jian's pursuers, they would never have a chance to make a comeback and would be sealed in this snow cave. Even if Cao Ping found reinforcements and could not arrive in time, he would be afraid that his mother and son would not be able to stand for a few days. What is a life-and-death death? I am afraid that he would really go through this time.

I would rather die here than be a hostage to Li Jian's Fourth Master. Xinmei bit her lip tightly and leaned against the wall in the cave.

A sudden sound of horse hooves came from outside. Xinmei was suddenly shocked and quickly reached out to cover the mouths of her two daughters. This must be the pursuit soldiers coming again.

In Li Jian's camp, Xue Linfeng hurriedly walked into Li Jian's tent. Under the light, Li Jian seemed extremely haggard. In a few days, an emperor with high spirits seemed to have his soul removed and his whole body became wilted. He could hear his roar outside the tent.

"Damn it, what do I want you to do? Do you have dozens of people and three women, but you can't find them and can't catch them. Do you still have the face to come back?"

Xue Changfeng's heart was heavy. In the Yulin Army, Li Xiao had already been bent on someone to save Xinmei. This was really unexpected. In such a windy and snowy weather, the opponent had already escaped for half a night before he realized that it was indeed not easy to pursue. Xinmei and her daughter were the biggest aces in Li Jian's hands now. It was no wonder that Li Jian was furious when he was thunderous. Thinking about the bad news he brought, Xue Linfeng didn't know whether he should say it.

"Your Majesty calmed down!" Guo Feng stood up and walked to Li Jian. "Three women left and left. It's worth the emperor's anger."

"You are speaking lightly!" Li Jian said angrily. If it weren't for the person who spoke, Guo Feng, who was the general of the Northern Army, he would have already suffocated him.

"Your Majesty, what's the use of even holding these three women?" Guo Feng said half a step: "With Li Xiao's character, even if His Majesty puts a knife on the necks of their mother and daughter, I'm afraid he won't give in half. The departure of these spies in the camp will save us a lot of trouble. Otherwise, wouldn't these people come to assassinate Your Majesty in the middle of the night, which would be even worse?"

Li Jian sat down dejectedly and saw Xue Linfeng. "What bad news do you have to bring to me?" Seeing Xue Linfeng's face, he knew that nothing good happened.

"Your Majesty, Li De was defeated by the rebels!" Xue Linfeng whispered: "Twenty thousand Yulin Army were defeated by the rebel Huang Hong's troops in Changfeng. Commander Li Zheng sent an urgent report, Su Can, Congliang and Quan Changbin, the main forces of the rebels surrounded him from three directions. Li Zheng asked His Majesty to speed up his departure, but he was afraid he would not be able to stop him for long."

"Twenty thousand Yulin Army was defeated so quickly? Did Li De eat shit?" Li Jian said angrily.

"Your Majesty, the rebel Huang Hong's troops are the main force of the original Hu Guard. These troops have fought with the Mongols for several years. After entering the Central Plains, they have been fighting endlessly. They are extremely powerful troops. Although the Yulin Army is elite, they have never experienced the baptism of war and have met them suddenly. They do not occupy the right time, place, and people, so they are naturally hard to defeat." Xue Linfeng explained carefully. "Your Majesty, we are afraid that we will pull out the camp overnight."

"Your Majesty, General Xue is right. At this time, the enemy is in high spirits, and the news of our retreat is afraid that we can no longer hide the news of our soldiers. We can only seize the time to retreat."

"Let's go!" Li Jian waved his hand weakly, "Xue Linfeng, go and arrange it!"

"Your Majesty!" Guo Feng stood up, "At this time, I'm afraid we have to abandon some things."

"What else do you want me to abandon? The 100,000 Yulin Army, only Xue Linfeng's 20,000 people are left at this moment. Then there is the Modao Team, and I am almost completely out of nothing."

"Your Majesty, it's the Modao Team. The Modao Team has too many things. Just dragging their Kaijia convoy is a big burden!" Guo Feng said: "Dropping these heavy Kaijia and using these caravans to carry our soldiers, the retreat speed will be at least twice as fast as possible!"

"This is not possible!" Li Jian shook his head repeatedly, "With these Chongkai, can Mo Daozhe still be called Mo Daozhe? When they encounter an enemy, their combat power will be reduced at least half."

"Your Majesty, the strength of the Modao Team is not the armor, but among these Modao Hands. It is difficult to find a qualified Modao Hand among the 100 elite soldiers. As long as these Modao Hands are there, what is the armor? After you arrive in Guizhou and join General Ye Kai and our Northern Expedition Army, Governor Yun will rebuild the armor for these Modao Hands. People are the most important thing."

People are the most important, which is the consistent tradition of the Northern Army. Yun Zhao owns a huge clan like the Gaoshan tribe, but he has only formed a Modao Hand with two thousand people. Dayue has such a huge empire, and Modao Hand has only more than 10,000 people left.

"Can Yun Zhao's Governor's Office build heavy armor for Modao Hand?" Li Jian asked suspiciously.

"Of course, our Northern Army will build a Modao team of 2,000 people!" Guo Feng said frankly. Now that Li Jian has become a dog in the water, he is no longer afraid to tell the other party some of his strength. The 10,000 Modao team. If he can bring these people back, the governor will be so happy that he smiled with a smile.

"Your Majesty, General Guo is right!" Xue Linfeng nodded repeatedly, "Strike off these armors, and first, we can speed up the pace, and second, once there is a crisis in the food, we can slaughter these animals, killing two birds with one stone."

"Since you all say that, then do it!" Li Jian said powerlessly. Looking at the guard commander who was still kneeling on the ground, he was furious and said, "Get out, get out! If you can't catch Xinmei and the other two, you raise your head to see me."

"Yes, Your Majesty, I will do it right now!"

The sleeping camp was awakened by the shrill sound of horns, and in an instant it became noisy. Fast horses were passing through the camp, loudly giving orders to start immediately, and the entire camp became busy.

Xue Linfeng looked at the brightly lit camp and frowned, "General Guo, how much hope is we have to escape? Now the morale is getting lower and lower."

Guo Feng smiled and said, "Mormoranity is low. With General Xue's ability, he can still keep him from collapsing. As long as he is not caught up by his opponent, we have a chance to escape!"

"You are optimistic. I just worry that you will be caught up by your opponent. Deserts have begun to appear in the camp." Xue Linfeng lowered his voice. "Even if you march in such a strong wind and snow, even if you have a strong morale, it will be a difficult thing!"
