Chapter 1845 I pray for a gust of wind, I pray for a snow
Halfway through, I saw snow dust rising up in front of me.
Li Lai hurriedly asked the soldiers around him, "Is that the movement ahead the Emperor's carriage?"
The soldier also looked up and said, "Of course."
“…”
"His Majesty the Emperor is personally leading his troops to attack Hot Moon Bay this time. We must raze the bandit's base camp to the ground."
Li Lai smiled and said, "Yes, His Majesty the Emperor is so powerful and majestic that he will surely succeed immediately."
The people around were also very excited, spurring their horses and whipping their whips. Everyone's speed was getting faster and faster. One of the deputy generals saw this and said to Yang Dai, who was galloping on his horse, "Sir Yang, our original plan was to reach the Hot Moon Crescent before Wu time at the latest. Now it seems that we can make it around three quarters after You time."
Yang Dai glanced around.
The crowd was excited.
He nodded and added, "We absolutely cannot relax. The sooner we reach Thermidor, the sooner we can launch our attack. Tell everyone to speed up!"
"yes!"
The people around responded and moved forward at full speed.
Li Lai was riding a horse, moving at full speed among the crowd. The cold wind like ice knives kept blowing across his face, and he looked at the vague figure in front of him, with a cold light flashing in his eyes.
The smile on the corner of his mouth gradually turned cold.
"Let's go, let's go..."
He murmured in his heart: "This way, you can walk into the hot moon obediently."
Their speed was getting faster and faster. The sound of their horses' hooves raised large clouds of snow dust on the wasteland, covering the sky and blotting out the originally clear sky.
The sky turned cloudy.
Under the same sky, Long Tingyun was looking up at the sky.
This kind of weather is neither good nor bad.
It had been sunny for the past few days, and even the wind had a hint of warmth, melting all the snow in the hot crescent. The ice on the road that Ulun was most worried about also melted a lot, making it impossible for ordinary people to walk on it.
But today...
It looked like it would be sunny early in the morning, but at this moment, it turned cloudy.
Not cold, not hot.
Of course, as long as it's not cold, it's good news for them.
At least in this kind of weather, the ice on the road will not thicken again. In this way, we can just send a group of people to guard it without any worries.
He smiled.
Just as his laughter died down, the angry voice of Hussehei came from the hall behind him.
"What?!"
Long Tingyun looked back.
In the lobby, Wu Lun told Hu Saihei his decision. Hu Saihei's face suddenly turned as dark as the sky. He gritted his teeth and said, "Boss, you know that Shazhouwei has already taken action today."
“…”
"The emperor and his men are coming towards us at Thermidor!"
Wu Lun said: "Of course I know."
"If you knew that, why did you ask me to guard that road?"
“…”
"You know very well that that road is not—"
"Second brother,"
Wu Lun put on a serious expression, patted his shoulder and said to him, "Why don't you understand what I mean, brother? That road was the target of the Emperor's concentrated attack last time. How could they let down their guard this time?"
“…”
"I arranged you to go that way because I trust you and want you to deal with their main force."
“…”
"You must not betray my trust in you."
Hu Saihei angrily said: "Bullshit!"
His roar was like thunder, shaking the entire hall. Seeing him so furious, the people around him became nervous and stood up one after another.
"The boss..."
"Second in command, please don't act rashly."
"You two should talk nicely."
Seeing him speak so arrogantly, Wu Lun's face turned cold and he looked at him coldly. Hu Saihei said angrily: "Everyone knows that they have already taken that road last time and know what happened. How could they take it again this time? This time they will definitely concentrate their forces on the road Jiang Qu gave them!"
“…”
"Boss, tell me frankly, do you not trust me?"
Wu Lun also sneered and said, "You want me to trust you? It's simple. If you guard that road well today, I will trust you."
“…”
"If even one soldier passes through that road, then I, Thermidor, will no longer have you as my second-in-command!"
The two looked at each other, their eyes met, and sparks almost flew.
After a long while, Husaihei stomped his feet fiercely and turned away with his men.
When he walked out of the lobby and passed by Long Tingyun, he glared at Long Tingyun with a vicious look again, but saw the latter waving the goose feather fan in his hand, looking relaxed and at ease.
Two strands of mouse whiskers fluttered slightly in the wind.
"snort!"
Hussehei turned and left.
Long Tingyun then smiled coldly, then slowly walked into the lobby, exchanged glances with Wu Lun and the other man, and nodded.
Wu Lun said again: "Go, call the third boss to me."

"Xiaoyu, go to the yard and put some incense and candles, and some cushions—if there are no cushions, just put out some mats."
When Ran Xiaoyu heard Nan Yan's order, she was stunned for a moment.
She was originally making tea for Nan Yan. At this moment, she put down the teapot, handed the cup to her, and whispered, "My Lady, what are you going to do?"
Nan Yan took a sip of tea and said, "Just do it."
"……Why."
She always obeyed Nan Yan's orders.
So he quickly placed a small table in the middle of the yard, put an incense burner in it, put two candles in it, and lit three incense sticks himself.
Just as I finished all this, Nan Yan came out.
He said, "Give me the incense."
Ran Xiaoyu hesitated for a moment, but still handed the incense to her.
Nan Yan took the three incense sticks, looked at the gray sky above her head, sighed softly, and then knelt on the cushion that Ran Xiaoyu placed in front of her.
Although the weather had generally warmed up, the ground was still cold. When she knelt down, she immediately felt the cold, hard ground under her knees, which made her gasp.
Ran Xiaoyu said, "My Lady, if you want to pray for something, please let this servant do it."
Nan Yan shook her head: "No."
“…”
"Whatever I ask for, I have to do it myself."
“…”
“No one else can replace it.”
As she spoke, she held high the three incense sticks in her hand and kowtowed three times and nine times respectfully towards the dark sky. Ran Xiaoyu hurried over, took the three incense sticks and inserted them into the incense burner.
But Nan Yan did not stand up.
She was still kneeling on the ground, with her hands clasped together, praying silently.
Ran Xiaoyu asked, "My Lady, what are you asking for?"
Nan Yan closed her eyes and whispered, "I, I pray for a gust of wind, I pray for snow."
Perhaps, this is wishful thinking.
But I hope God hears my voice.
