In the blink of an eye, the New Year has arrived.
However, there was no celebration of the New Year in the entire Shuobei.
More people are worried about the upcoming war.
There was also no festive atmosphere in Shuofang’s military camp.
Many people even forgot that today is the end of the year.
It was not until Yun Zheng ordered the firemen to prepare a good meal for everyone during the New Year that many people realized that the end of the year had quietly arrived.
Yun Zheng originally planned to celebrate the New Year with the soldiers in the camp in the evening.
But in the afternoon, Ye Zi came to the camp with servants and guards from the mansion.
They also brought a lot of frozen dumplings.
"Sister-in-law, you are so kind!"
...
...
Looking at so many dumplings, Shen Luoyan hugged Ye Zi exaggeratedly.
Ye Zi smiled and patted Shen Luoyan's head gently, "Alright, let me go, you are already married, why are you still acting like a child."
Chen Luoyan let go of Ye Zi with a smile, "What's wrong with being a child? You are carefree, unlike us now, who are so worried that even our hair is turning white."
"What are you worried about?"
Ye Zibai glanced at her and pouted at Yun Zheng, "The most worried person didn't say anything!"
"I'm not worried."
Yun Zheng laughed, "The ones who should be most worried now are Wei Wenzhong and Beihuan's commander!"
"It would be strange if I didn't worry!"
Ye Zi rolled her eyes at him and said, "Don't you see how much bloodshot there is in your eyes?"
Yun Zheng looked like he didn’t sleep well.
If he didn't worry, how could he not sleep well?
Yun Zheng laughed and said nothing.
The war is imminent, and it would be a lie to say that we are not worried.
Although they had some predictions about Bei Huan's true intentions, they were just predictions.
Who knows whether Bei Huan really thinks so?
Even if Bei Huan's real purpose was as he expected, he still had to keep thinking and perfecting his arrangements to make them as comprehensive as possible.
These things are very exhausting.
Ye Zi looked at Yun Zheng distressedly, and said, "You are busy with military duties and cannot return home to celebrate the New Year. Let's reunite in the camp today!"
"good!"
Yun Zheng readily agreed, "By the way, where are Zhang Xu and Ming Yue?"
Ye Zi smiled brightly, "Zhang Xu is such a show-off. He took Mingyue to see the workshops. They will come later."
“They are doing well!”
Yun Zheng laughed and winked at Miaoyin, "I'm afraid your junior sister will soon become the young mistress of the Zhang family!"
Miaoyin rolled her eyes at him, "Isn't this what you were counting on?"
Hearing Miaoyin's words, everyone couldn't help but laugh.
After chatting and laughing for a while, Yun Zheng asked someone to go to the kitchen and bring a large iron pot.
Although his tent was big enough, it still seemed crowded with so many people squeezed in.
Since the dumplings were still cooking, Yun Zheng went outside the tent to get some fresh air.
He had just stood outside the tent for a while when Ye Zi followed him out.
"Are you sure this time?"
Ye Zi asked with some concern.
This time is different.
In the past, Beihuan was a petty thief.
But this time, the Northern Huan army was approaching in large numbers.
The next battle will probably be brutal.
Yun Zheng nodded slightly, "We are confident, but the casualties are uncertain."
Ye Zi felt relieved and said comfortingly: "There will inevitably be casualties in war. How can every battle be like the one in Death Valley? As the saying goes, a merciful army cannot be run. Just try to reduce casualties!"
Yun Zheng himself once said that the great victory in Death Valley could never be replicated.
"Yes, I understand."
Yun Zheng nodded slightly and instructed: "In two days, you will go to the soldier cave on the other side of Langya Pass to take shelter temporarily. I will notify you when this battle is over."
Take shelter?
Hearing Yun Zheng's words, Ye Zi's heart suddenly became anxious again.
Yun Zheng asked her to take people to take shelter temporarily, which means that Shuofang might not be able to be saved!
Is the current situation so critical?
Seeing Ye Zi's nervous look, Yun Zheng couldn't help but shook his head and smiled, "The situation is not as bad as you think. I just want to make sure everything is safe!"
"Well, I believe you!"
Ye Zi forced a smile, "You have to be careful too. You are the commander, and your main task is to deploy the troops, not to charge into battle! Also, you have to hold back that girl Luo Yan, because when she fights, she just charges forward."
"good!"
Yun Zheng nodded slightly.
As the two were talking, a man in white fur coat appeared.
The man's entire body was covered tightly, with only a pair of eyes exposed.
Seeing such a person for the first time, Ye Zi couldn't help but be shocked. She thought it was an assassin that appeared out of nowhere. She subconsciously wanted to call for help, but was stopped by Yun Zheng.
"Greetings, Your Highness!"
The visitor bowed and saluted Yun Zheng.
"Let's go and talk over there!"
Yun Zheng winked at the visitor, quickly walked to the side with him, and asked in a low voice: "What's the situation?"
The man lowered his head and said ashamedly, "There is nothing wrong for now. The camp of the Beihuannan Road army is always on fire, and it is bright at night. We are afraid of being discovered and dare not get too close."
"Is the fire always burning?"
Yun Zheng thought silently for a moment, "Let's go investigate again! We don't need to get too close, we just need to stay downwind and pay attention to whether there's any smell of meat wafting out of their camp at any time!"
If there is the smell of meat wafting over there at any time, it means that the Beihuan people are preparing dry food!
If you stick to it, you will definitely be willing to eat fresh meat.
But if you want to make a long-distance raid, you must get some dry food.
After all, dry food is much easier to carry than fresh meat and can be eaten at any time.
If the Beihuannan Road army is really producing a large amount of dry food, then his guess is very likely to be true!
"yes!"
The visitor immediately received the order.
At the same time, Ye Zi also returned to the tent.
Ye Zi pulled Shen Luoyan aside and asked in a low voice: "I just saw a person covered in snow-white, tightly wrapped, who is that person?"
"Those are the Eighteen Ghost Riders that Yun Zheng personally participated in training!" Shen Luoyan whispered back, "Those people are all dressed like that. Now even I don't know their true identities!"
"You don't know anything?" Ye Zi was stunned.
"Um!"
Chen Luoyan nodded gently, "I knew it before, but these people should have been replaced. I really don't know who they are now! I guess only Yun Zheng and Du Guiyuan know."
"So mysterious?" Ye Zi was surprised.
Even Princess Shen Luoyan doesn’t know the true identities of these people. Isn’t this too exaggerated?
"Who says it's not?"
Chen Luoyan shrugged, "Yun Zheng said that these people will be very useful, will make a lot of enemies, and will be easily targeted by others! If their identities are known, it is inevitable that others will attack their families, so we must try to keep it secret."
“No wonder!”
Ye Zi suddenly realized, "He has considered everything very carefully!"
"Isn't that right?"
Chen Luoyan said: "There are more than 20,000 people in our camp, but he only has these few people to train personally. In his heart, these people are all like treasures!"
Hearing this, Ye Zi couldn't help but joked, "You are also his baby."
Shen Luoyan blushed and fought back: “Aren’t you the same!”
"you……"
Ye Zi blushed instantly and glared at Chen Luoyan in embarrassment and anger.
At this moment, Yun Zheng suddenly opened the curtain of the big tent and walked in, and hurriedly said to Ye Zi: "Sister-in-law, please step aside first. Duke Yu just sent someone to deliver a message, and they will be here soon..."
