The snow was white and the dead branches were covered with snow. If someone passed under the tree, the snow would fall down with just the slightest movement. The biting cold wind blew in the face, as hard as a knife, and it would leave a wound on the face after just a moment.
The long team moved forward like ants, and the hoof prints left by the horses were quickly covered by the wind and snow.
The vast expanse of white ground is so dazzling that it is almost blinding to the eyes and it is difficult to tell the direction.
The soldiers in cloth armor walked in the snow, their noses were black, their leather boots were wet by the snow, their hands and feet had almost lost feeling, and they could only continue to move forward numbly.
At the end of the team, a wooden-wheeled carriage was stuck in the snow. More than a dozen soldiers pushed the carriage together, but they were unable to push it out.
The general in leather armor stood beside the chariot. His voice was almost drowned out by the wind. He could only shout in a hoarse voice: "Your Majesty! We must abandon the chariot!"
The man in the car was wrapped in an animal skin blanket, but he was still shivering in the cold wind. He tried hard to hold back the shivering, his brows full of resentment, and he said helplessly, "Bring my horse here."
He abandoned the chariot and mounted the horse. He could no longer wrap himself in the animal skin blanket. Chen Hou didn't even dare to breathe. As soon as he inhaled, the cold wind rushed into his body, causing pain in all his internal organs.
The general rode his horse beside Marquis Chen, and the two were very close to each other, so they could hear each other's voices clearly.
"Your Majesty, our food and fodder..."
Marquis Chen gritted his teeth and said, "Tell the men to eat the snow to fill their stomachs. We have no idea which way to go, so we must not waste food and grass easily."
"Mr. Zhao... you deceived me so badly!"
The general pursed his lips and said, "The doctor advised His Majesty that day that Lord Zhao is cunning and so generous. It must be a trap."
The Marquis of Chen smiled bitterly, "How could I not know? But Chen is weak. For so many years, no matter whether it was Zhao or Zheng, as long as they asked for help, Chen would respond. What did they say about me? They said I was imitating my father. Both father and son were cowardly and weak, and were not fit to be marquises."
"How could they know that, not to mention Zhao and Zheng, Jin alone has an army of 80,000. What about us? We can only gather 50,000 people from here and there. How many of them are slaves, old and weak?"
Lord Chen coughed twice, and the general said repeatedly: "Your Majesty! Your Majesty, take care of yourself!"
Lord Chen waved his hand and said, "Fortunately, I appointed a crown prince before I left. If I can't go back, Madam will definitely be able to protect my son."
"After all, it's my greed." Lord Chen sighed.
The State of Zhao attacked the State of Lu and offered Lu's three passes close to the State of Chen as a reward, so that Chen and Zhao could attack Lu from both sides and divide it.
Lord Chen hesitated for a long time, but finally agreed.
But the State of Lu had capable ministers and powerful generals.
Prince Ao of Lu was a brother of Duke Lu. He joined the army at the age of thirteen and led troops to fight at the age of fifteen. He conquered dozens of counties south of the Jiu River in Lu. These ten counties originally belonged to the Wei State, but now all belonged to Lu.
As a result, the national strength of Lu State increased greatly, and with these ten counties alone, it was able to recruit 200,000 soldiers.
Before Duke Lu came to the throne, the army of Lu was less than 300,000. Now, the army of Lu is 600,000.
Moreover, the State of Lu fought wars almost every year and recruited soldiers every year, but there were still 600,000 soldiers!
The Grand Master had told him that Duke Lu and his younger brother, Prince Ao, were both indispensable to the State of Lu. Prince Ao had countless elite soldiers under his command, but Duke Lu never doubted them. The match between the monarch and his subject was a perfect one, which could create a story that would be passed down through the ages.
If the State of Chen had a general as talented as Prince Ao... they wouldn't have to retreat to a corner.
Chen Hou felt extremely distressed and sighed again: "It's my greed..."
The general said hurriedly: "Your Majesty is also for the sake of Chen! If you don't try to strengthen Chen, even without fighting, I'm afraid it will... perish."
Chen Hou's eyes were red, he shook his head gently and said nothing more.
The people of Chen State could not bear it any longer. No matter how good the land of Chen State was, it could not withstand the demands of other countries. Where did the food sent to other countries come from? It was taken from the mouths of the people. Although it was a country with a large output, its own people could not have enough to eat. As a monarch, he was a coward.
"I just hope my son won't follow my example." Lord Chen looked at the snow-capped mountains ahead.
He thought that when Zhao attacked Lu, Zhao would be the main force and they only needed to provide support. If successful, they would be able to capture the three passes, and Chen's national strength would be greatly increased, so they would no longer have to look at Lu's face in the future.
If it doesn't work, it will be a wasted trip.
To show his sincerity, he, as the Marquis of Chen, personally took part in the battle.
Little did he expect that Zhao State used his Chen State soldiers as vanguards. They were intercepted and killed by Lu State, lost most of their soldiers, and were separated from the main force, so they could only flee to the wilderness.
As a result, they are now trapped here, with no idea of the direction, and most of their food and supplies have been looted.
The king of a country, I am afraid he will die in this deserted snowy land. The prince is still young, even with the help of his mother's family...
Lord Chen didn't dare to think about it any further.
Soldiers kept falling down in the team, and others walked past them. Soon, these fallen people were buried by the snow, leaving only a raised snow mound on the ground.
As it grew darker, the soldiers had to find a huge rock or cave that could block the wind before it was completely dark. Otherwise, they would have to set up camp on the spot. It would be even colder at night, and no one knew how many people would die.
"Your Majesty, have some water." The general took out the water bag, but the moment he picked it up, he discovered that even though he had put the water bag in his arms, it was still frozen into ice.
Chen Hou saw his embarrassment and said with a wry smile: "There is snow everywhere. Why drink water? Eating snow is enough."
"Snow is a good thing. It can quench thirst and fill the stomach." Lord Chen looked up at the sky. The sky was glowing orange like fire.
"Next year, the people of Chen will have a good harvest again."
General: "Your Majesty, don't lose heart! The prince is still young. If you can't go back, other countries will surely put pressure on us. Even if the harvest is good, the food won't be enough to feed the people of Chen. Only if your Majesty goes back, there will be a chance for a turnaround."
"We swear to escort His Majesty back to his country!"
The general shouted again: "We swear to escort the king back to his country at the cost of our lives!"
The soldiers who accompanied him also shouted: "We swear to protect the king until our death!"
Marquis Chen smiled and said, "It seems that I am not too unpopular as a king."
As night fell, the cold wind was even stronger than during the day. Lord Chen covered his face with a cloth, but the exposed skin was still covered with scratches. He didn't even dare to look back. The snow piles behind him buried all the men of the Chen State.
Marquis Chen even felt that it was a blessing for him to die here. Otherwise, after returning home, how would he explain to the citizens who had lost their husbands and sons?
They were all good men who wanted to kill enemies on the battlefield and serve the State of Chen.
But they did not die on the battlefield, but died of cold and hunger.
It was his greed that led to his mistakes, which cost them their lives.
"Your Majesty, let's go up the mountain." The general rode his horse up the mountain. They had no dry wood in their hands, and if it was completely dark, they could not move forward.
The body of Lord Chen swayed slightly on the horse's back, and the general was horrified: "Your Majesty!"
Chen Hou used all his strength to steady himself: "Nothing, let's go up the mountain."
When the last ray of daylight disappeared, they still hadn't found a cave to shelter in. In the howling cold wind, the soldiers had lost the will to live. They just wanted to sit down and rest. The cavalry were still okay, but most of the infantry had been lost.
No one thought they would make it home alive.
All I could feel was despair and exhaustion.
"Let's go up a little further," Lord Chen said to the general, "perhaps we can find a cave on the top of the mountain."
They still had to find a place that was sheltered from the wind to make a fire. Even if they couldn't find dry wood, they could always get together something to burn.
The soldiers could only obey orders and continue walking up the mountain. Under the faint moonlight, people fell down one after another, and even some cavalrymen fell off their horses. No one stopped, they could only turn a blind eye to the death of their comrades.
The road up the mountain was extremely rugged. Chen Hou didn't know how long they had been walking. He only knew that there were fewer and fewer people, and the wind was getting colder and stronger. If it weren't for the general looking after him, Chen Hou would probably have fallen off his horse.
Finally, when he was about to reach the top of the mountain, Chen Hou's body could no longer hold on. He closed his eyes and fell to his side.
"Your Majesty!" The general immediately jumped off his horse and knelt on one knee. He half hugged the upper body of Lord Chen. His calm expression finally broke into pieces. He shouted, "Your Majesty! Your Majesty, nothing can happen to you! The people of Chen are still counting on you!"
"Zhao, the Duke of Zhao has evil ambitions." The Marquis of Chen used his last bit of strength to grab the general's wrist, "Lu, the Duke of Lu has, has several powerful generals."
"If you can return home...you must be loyal to my wife and my lady, and protect them both..."
The general's eyes were filled with tears, and the soldiers surrounded him.
"Your Majesty!"
"Your Majesty!"
"Your Majesty will not die! Your Majesty will live forever!"
At this moment, the scout who had been exploring the way ahead came back in the snow, holding a red cloth in his hand. He didn't dare to shout, and rode his horse anxiously. When he stopped, he fell off the horse. But he didn't have time to stand up, so he just fell to the ground, holding his head high and said, "Your Majesty, General, there is something strange on the top of the mountain!"
The general asked anxiously, "What's the difference? Tell me!"
The scout got up from the snow and said, "There is a strange house on the top of the mountain. It is very square and brightly lit. Although I haven't heard any human voices, I can see human figures moving around."
The scout whispered, "This place is sparsely populated, not to mention humans, even wild animals are rare. I'm afraid... this is a trap..."
The general looked at Lord Chen in his arms. Lord Chen was already unconscious. His face was pale, and the tips of his ears and nose had turned red and blue. If he delayed any further, he would surely die.
"Let's go!" The general carried Lord Chen to his horse and told his personal soldiers to ride on the same horse with Lord Chen. He then jumped on the horse again and said, "For the sake of the Lord, even if it's a dangerous place, we have to go and fight!"
"Men, follow me!" A general rode his horse to lead the way, and the soldiers immediately followed.
They turned the last bend and finally saw the strange house that the scout had mentioned behind the dead branches.
The general stood beside the dead tree in a daze, his lips slightly parted, thinking he had seen it wrong.
Not far away, there was a square house standing, which seemed to be formed by nature without any artificial carving. The house had several colorless windows, which allowed the light from inside the house to shine through. However, the light was not like firelight, and it had no warm colors, but was pale white.
When the person inside walks past the window, a shadow is projected outside.
"General," the scout asked in a low voice, "I will go closer to take a look."
The general nodded: "Go ahead, be careful."
If this place is a dangerous place, then they will have their own fate, but they will also fight until they are exhausted.
If it is a place to save lives, then it means that God will not destroy the State of Chen!
The scout took the order and went out. He bent his waist and went around the place where the light was not shining. He was short and slender, but had big feet, which was why he could become a scout in the army. He walked carefully to the wall, put his back against the wall, and slowly moved to the window.
He only took a glance at the window and was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat.
It is said that the royal family of Wei State has a treasure, which is a cup. It is colorless and translucent. In the past, the king of Zhao State offered seven cities as chips but failed to exchange them. Later, there was a war in Wei State and the cup disappeared.
And this window is colorless and light-transmissive!
A cup is worth seven cities, and it can be used as a window...
What kind of financial resources is this?!
Why was it built here? Could it be some hidden master? !
The scout shook his head, forcing himself not to let his imagination run wild, and looked inside through the window.
Sure enough, there is someone!
It's a woman!
It was freezing outside, and she was only wearing a dress with exposed arms. However, the dress didn't seem to be without sleeves because it was torn, and the edges were neat, as if it had always been like that.
The woman's hair only reached below her shoulders. She had no ornaments on her body and no hairpins in her hair.
Under normal circumstances, the scout would have thought that it was normal for a common woman to be poor, but he did not think that the woman in the house did not wear jewelry because she had none.
The windows are worth a fortune, how could they not even be able to afford jewelry?
The woman was standing next to a shelf, apparently counting things. She occasionally swayed left and right, looking leisurely and contented.
She wasn't wearing a skirt!
The scout felt as if the world was spinning around him. How could there be such a woman in the world, wearing only pants that outlined her two thin legs? It was really immoral!
The scout only slightly shifted his gaze, and when he looked inside again, the woman in strange clothes was no longer there.
He exhaled and relaxed a little.
Sudden--
A woman's face was pressed against the window, her black eyes staring at him without blinking.
The scout was so frightened that he couldn't move and fell backwards. At this moment, the woman suddenly opened the window, grabbed the scout's collar with one hand, and pulled him towards her.
The woman was very tall, much taller than him, and also very strong. He was a man after all, but the woman held him with his feet almost off the ground. He had to struggle with all his might, but even so, he was unable to break free from the woman's hand.
The warm wind in the house blew in his face, and the scout, whose hands and feet were numb from the cold, was stunned for a moment. It was during this moment of distraction that he lost his last chance to escape. He was caught by the woman to the window and strangled by her arm.
He heard the woman say, "There are still living people here."
The scout reacted and immediately shouted: "I am a soldier of the State of Chen! If you kill me, your life will be in danger!"
The woman sneered: "Do you think I'm scared?"
The scout felt that although the woman in front of him had a pretty face, she was more terrifying than a yaksha. He couldn't break free, but he couldn't bear to leave the warmth in the house, so he didn't know what to do.
He saw the woman take something out of her trouser pocket with her other hand.
The scout's eyes widened. Can something be put in pants? !
The thing was only the size of a human palm. The woman put the strange thing to her mouth and seemed to press a red bulge. Then she said to the strange thing: "Boss, someone is coming. It's a soldier."
The scout was frightened and confused, and then he heard a human voice coming from that strange thing.
"Just him?"
The scout's entire body couldn't stop shaking, his voice trembling: "Thousands, thousands of miles of sound transmission..."
The woman glanced at him: "There should be more than one."
As she spoke, the woman's arms exerted force. Her muscles were as stiff as iron, tightly gripping the scout's neck, making his entire face red and swollen, his eyeballs almost squeezed out of their sockets. The woman smiled and asked, "Tell me, who asked you to come? How many of you are there?"
The scout reached out and slapped the woman's arm, but his strength was like a mayfly trying to shake a tree, and he was no match for her.
Fortunately, the woman didn't want to strangle him. Seeing that he was about to die, she loosened his arms. She suddenly changed her expression and asked with a smile: "It's cold outside, right? I asked you to come in and rest. It's warm inside. As long as you answer my question just now."
"Otherwise, I will just have to send you to death."
The scout kept coughing, and finally stopped coughing. He clenched his fists, closed his eyes and said, "No need to ask any more questions, girl, just do it. If I beg for mercy, I won't be a man!"
"Girl?" The woman read the word. She seemed to find it very interesting. "Since you don't want to tell me, I'll go find it myself."
After saying that, she shouted to the back: "Zou Ming! Someone is coming! Bring two guns and follow me out, and call a few more people!"
The scout subconsciously looked in the direction the woman was shouting, and sure enough, a person quickly walked out from there.
He was a man, dressed just like the woman, in a shirt and trousers that left his arms exposed.
Is it her husband?
No, if he is your husband, how can you call him by his name?
Besides, such a woman is not something a normal man can handle.
The scout watched the man approach, put one hand on the window, and jumped out.
Wearing such thin clothes, doesn't he feel cold? !
He heard the man named Zou Ming say, "It should be on the other side of the dead tree. There is only one way up."
The woman nodded, and then said to the thing in her hand that could transmit sound over a thousand miles, "Boss, let's go over and take a look first. If there's no problem, we'll bring the people back. If there's a problem, we'll just do it. Is that okay?"
It was still the same male voice as before: "Okay, you go first."
Along with the male voice, there seemed to be a slight sound of water, but that sound was like the sound of fine rain.
The scout was already confused. Although he was still being restrained by the woman, he had lost the motivation to resist. He murmured, "Where exactly is this place? Who exactly are you? Are you human? Are you a demon? Are you an immortal?"
But no one answered him, so the woman called a few strong men, who tied him up with ropes and pulled him in through the window.
The scout was captured and sat cross-legged on the ground with his arms tied behind his back. He leaned against the wall exhausted. A warm breeze blew on him from nowhere, and the warmth slowly restored sensation to his hands and feet.
It’s so warm here...
It's completely different from the outside world.
He looked back and saw that the man and woman were holding something in their hands and were walking towards the direction where the general and the king were. The scout shouted out of the window: "General! There is a trap here!"
"There's a trick here! General!!!"
The scout shouted loudly and found that the two men guarding him did not stop him.
He looked blankly at the man standing on his left: "Why... didn't you stop me?"
The man said expressionlessly: "With the window closed, no one outside will hear you no matter how loud you shout."
The scout said with all his strength: "I see...I see..."
·
"General, Chen Dan has not returned yet." The personal guard supported Lord Chen, and he looked towards the house with a worried look on his face. "Your Majesty has... If you stay any longer, I'm afraid something bad will happen to you."
The general pursed his lips tightly and said, "Wait a moment longer. If Chen Dan still doesn't come back, then attack!"
"Bring the tiger-skin blanket!" the general said, "Wrap the king in it again!"
Chen Hou, who was held by the armored soldiers, had been wrapped up like a big dumpling, but even so, there was still not much warmth in his body, and even his lips had begun to turn black.
"The king is in danger, you can't hesitate, General!" The soldier advised, "General, give me a team of soldiers and I will lead them to charge!"
The general shook his head: "No, there are not many soldiers who can move now. If there are more casualties... Even if we capture this house, how can we leave in the future?"
"There is no one to lead the way here, and it is covered with snow and ice. Once we are trapped, there is no way to survive." The general frowned, "Even if we want to attack, we must leave some alive."
What's more, having a house in such a place was too weird, so weird that he didn't dare to act rashly.
"In extraordinary times, extraordinary things must be done! General!" the soldiers advised again and again.
"What do you mean by extraordinary times?" A female voice suddenly came from the front, "You two can discuss it if you want. But is it okay to talk so loudly?"
The general and the soldiers drew their swords and rushed forward almost instantly. The general shouted, "Form a battle line! Protect the king!"
The soldiers dragged their tired bodies, raised their shields and stood in front of Lord Chen.
"Your Majesty?" It was a male voice, cold and indifferent. "The King of Chen?"
The general did not answer but asked: "May I ask who you are from? From Lu? From Zhao? Where is this place? In which country is it located?"
"We, the soldiers of the State of Chen, are here to escort the Lord of Chen back to his country. Please help us."
The male voice rang again: "We are neither from Lu nor from Zhao. We are in the territory of Chen."
The general breathed a sigh of relief: "Since it is neither Lu nor Zhao, I think it has no grudge against my Chen State. I am willing to offer a hundred gold coins, no! A thousand gold coins! Please save my life! I will repay you in the future!"
Since the other party dared to come and speak at this time, he must have something to rely on.
But they were at the end of their rope at this point, and even if they tried their best, they had little chance of winning.
The general put away his sword and walked forward: "Please see your true appearance. I have put away my sword and have no false thoughts."
Female voice: "Come forward."
The general walked in the snow with difficulty, and two figures appeared in his eyes. Slowly, he finally saw the two people standing in the snow.
A man and a woman stood in the snow. They seemed to be immune to the wind and snow. Their arms were exposed to the cold wind without any trembling.
Not to mention the men. Although he is tall, there are tall men in the army. In terms of physique, there are many who are stronger than him.
But the woman was only slightly shorter than the man, and half a head taller than the general himself. Her exposed arms were strong and sturdy, thicker than the thighs of ordinary women, but not limp. She looked even more robust than the man.
The general's heart sank and he stopped in front of the two men.
When he got closer, he could see more clearly.
This man and woman were holding strange things in their hands. Although he didn't know what they were used for, he knew at once that they must be weapons.
They are not afraid of the cold wind, have tall stature and slender fingers, and are definitely not ordinary people. Judging from their temperament, they must be descendants of noble families.
The general's lips trembled slightly, he suddenly clasped his fists, bowed his head and said: "You two, I am Chen Yan, the general of the State of Chen. This time I led the troops to attack the three passes of the State of Lu. I was ambushed by the State of Lu. Your Majesty suffered and is now in danger of death."
"If I can get your help, I will reward you handsomely when your Majesty wakes up!"
Chen Shu glanced at Zou Ming, and they both nodded slightly. Chen Shu said, "Only you can bring Chen Hou with us."
"Don't play tricks."
Perhaps he felt that the warning was not harsh enough, so Chen Shu added: "Otherwise I will kill you all, leaving no one alive."
The general smiled bitterly and said, "Don't worry, the soldiers are no longer capable of fighting."
"But...if the two of you want to harm my Lord, Yan and all the soldiers will fight to the death!"
Chen Shu was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "You still have some courage. We will wait for you here. Bring your Lord up."
The general turned around with difficulty. The snow was too thick and they had to move step by step. Many horses were stuck in the snow, so they had to kill them reluctantly.
To them, horses are not only livestock that they travel with, but also good friends. The difficulty of killing horses makes them heartbroken.
It was really difficult for one person to carry an adult, so the general could only carry Chen Hou on his back and ordered the soldiers to tie Chen Hou to themselves to prevent him from slipping off.
The soldier was worried and said as he took out the rope: "General, there are only you and the king...if they have bad intentions..."
The general smiled bitterly and said, "Even if we take this place, what can we do? Let's take a rest and recuperate, and then go back in the spring of next year."
"Besides, we don't know how many people and weapons the enemy has. They have houses as their base, which are easy to defend but difficult to attack. How many soldiers do we have who can wield swords?"
He stood up with the Marquis of Chen on his back and said, "What's more, I see that those two are both rare great men and women in the world. They may be the children of great masters. Maybe they will not harm the State of Chen, but benefit it!"
"If they really have bad intentions, they will show their true colors when they come over here. How can they afford to discuss with us?"
The general carried Chen Hou on his back as if he was carrying a thousand pounds. He stopped talking, held his breath, and walked forward in the snow with Chen Hou on his back.
He alone carried the destiny and people of the State of Chen on his back, like a heavy sword in the cold wind.
The soldier looked at the general's back and said sadly: "My Chen State has a hundred years of national prosperity... a hundred years of national prosperity!"
The personal guards beside him said: "Shut up! The Lord is not dead yet! If you cry again, I will kill you with my sword! If you shake the morale of the army, you deserve to die!"
The soldier wiped his face. He didn't dare to cry. If he cried, his tears would freeze.
The general's legs had lost all feeling, and he could only use his will to drive his legs up and down.
Being a general of the State of Chen was not a good job. The State of Chen was weak and he was a general in name only. Even though he was granted the official position, he had never fought a battle and all he learned about marching and fighting was from books.
He knew his own weight, and also knew that if the king had not led the troops personally this time, Zhao would definitely take this opportunity to attack Chen.
It was never he who supported the monarch, but the monarch who supported him.
Loyal to the Emperor! Loyal to the Emperor!
Chen Yan gritted his teeth. He could die, but the king could not.
When Chen Yan walked in front of the two men, he finally ran out of strength and fell on the snow.
Just before he lost consciousness, Chen Yan stretched out his arms with difficulty and shouted in a whisper: "Save, save me, save my Lord..."
In a daze, I heard the female voice say, "It's a man."
·
Ye Zhou was blowing his hair - when Chen Shu called him on the intercom just now, his whole body was covered with shower gel.
He felt that he had an indissoluble bond with the top of the cliff. In the previous plane, he fell on the cliff, but in this plane, he was on the cliff.
The climate around here is very bad. The images fed back by the drone from the highest point are also continuous snow-capped mountains and the ground covered with heavy snow. Fortunately, there is air conditioning in the supermarket, and the temperature can be adjusted so that it is not affected by the cold wind outside.
But they came at the wrong season, deep winter. At this time of year, even if there were people nearby, they would not walk around.
It is simply a pipe dream to expect to meet customers.
Moreover, it was his first time to arrive at a plane, and he could not jump to another plane before completing the profit quota given by the system, and then adjust the time of this plane. He could only endure until the ice and snow melted and the earth came back to life.
After Ye Zhou blew his hair half dry, he immediately walked out of the lounge.
Sarah and Cao'er were sitting on the sofa playing Gobang.
"I lost again." Sarah picked up the chess piece and said unwillingly, "I didn't take it seriously this time. I will definitely win next time."
Cao'er took the prize given by Sarah - a bag of melon seeds - with a suppressed smile, and said, "Sister, how about we play checkers?"
This elder sister has never won a game of Go, but she loves playing it so much. I don’t know how many bags of candy she has lost.
If you don't play with her, she will get angry.
Sarah looked up and saw Ye Zhou coming out of the lounge. She immediately threw the chess piece back and strode to Ye Zhou: "Boss."
Ye Zhou: "Zou Ming and Chen Shu are out?"
Sarah nodded: "He went out. There was a man sneaking around outside. Chen Shu caught him and tied him up. Do you want to go and take a look?"
Ye Zhou: "I'll go over and take a look. Don't go over there yet. Don't scare people."
Ye Zhou didn't know whether there were Hu people during the Warring States Period in this dimension.
The plane he is in does exist, but just in case, it is better not to let Sarah go there.
Sarah had no interest in the tied-up people. She nodded and said, "Okay, Boss, do you want to play Go with me later?"
Ye Zhou said tactfully: "Do you want to try other games?"
Ever since Sarah became obsessed with Gobang, she would go everywhere to play with her. Although Ye Zhou also liked Gobang, there was no fun in winning all the time.
Ye Zhou felt that Sarah was a typical example of a person who was addicted to being a loser.
Now only Cao'er is willing to play with her.
Sarah shrugged, looking a little aggrieved: "Boss, go ahead and do your work. I know I'm not good at this."
Ye Zhou felt a little soft-hearted and could only say, "I'll stay with you for a while when everything is fine."
Sarah's expression changed instantly, and she said with a smile: "Okay, I'll wait until you're done."
Ye Zhou went to the infirmary.
Zhou Yuanhe was treating the frostbite of the tied man.
As soon as Ye Zhou arrived at the door of the infirmary, he heard Zhou Yuanhe say to the man tied to the bed: "Three of your toes are frozen and need to be amputated."
Chen Dan looked at him in confusion. Zhou Yuanhe said, "Just cut off all three toes. Otherwise, your injury will spread to the instep and leg, and then your whole leg will be gone. Losing three toes is not a big deal. It won't affect your walking, but it may affect your running."
Chen Dan asked in a low voice: "Are you a doctor?"
Zhou Yuanhe: “Yes.”
Chen Dan was overjoyed. Because he was tied up, he could only twist his body like a caterpillar: "Medic! Our king is also frostbitten!"
Zhou Yuanhe scolded him: "Stop being awkward! Be quiet! If I cut the wrong place, I'll just throw you out!"
Zhou Yuanhe scolded again: "You are in this state, and you still worry about others. Have you had enough of living?"
Chen Dan immediately said, "I am a lowly man. Even without me, the State of Chen still has scouts. One less of me is not a big deal, but Your Majesty only has one!"
Zhou Yuanhe sneered: "Okay, you are not afraid of death and you have courage."
Chen Dan looked at Zhou Yuanhe's face. Although he was a little scared, he still said with all his strength: "I won't die...Ah!!!"
Ye Zhou walked away silently.
Zhou Yuanhe is a doctor. What he values is the lives of the wounded. In his eyes, all wounded are the same. He does not think that the life of the king is more important than the lives of the soldiers.
He was silently worried for this soldier whose name he didn't know.
"Immortal." Wu Yan, who was guarding the door of the lounge, called softly.
Ye Zhou nodded to Wu Yan and lowered his voice and said, "You guys stay here, but he shouldn't run away."
Wu Yan nodded: "Yes."
Ye Zhou walked through the corridor, came to the glass door and looked outside.
Although the supermarket has lights shining out, the illuminated area is limited, the moonlight is dim, and the distance that can be seen is limited at night.
Ye Zhou leaned against the wall and waited for about twenty minutes before he saw Zou Ming and Chen Shu walking in the snow.
They both had people on their backs, but their steps were steady.
Because there is a big temperature difference between inside and outside the supermarket, Ye Zhou turned off the automatic sensing system of the glass door and it needs to be opened by pressing a button.
As soon as they walked up the stairs, Ye Zhou opened the door of the supermarket.
"Why are you wearing so little?" Ye Zhou frowned.
Chen Shu only reacted at this time: "Fuck, why do I feel so cold."
Ye Zhou: “…”
Ye Zhou looked at Zou Ming.
Don't tell me you've forgotten too, or I'll really despair of you two.
Zou Ming: "I just want to try how long I can stay in this temperature."
Ye Zhou: “…”
This reason is also outrageous.
"You two should go and drink some hot water first. Aunt Li and the others have already set up a tent, and it's warm in the tent now. Let's put them in first." Ye Zhou glanced at Zhou Wen and the others who followed them.
Zhou Wen understood, and together with the people around him, he lifted up the person that Zou Ming and Chen Shu had carried back.
Ye Zhou: "I'll ask Zhou Yuanhe to go over and see if they have frostbite."
After Ye Zhou gave instructions to Zhou Wen and the others, he turned around and asked Zou Ming and the others, "Are there only these two people outside?"
Chen Shu answered from the side: "More than that, I think there are about one or two thousand people."
Ye Zhou asked quietly: "Do they have money?"
Chen Shu also whispered, "Yes, the one Zou Ming carried on his back was a general. He said that if you could save their Lord, he would offer a thousand gold coins."
Chen Shu: "How much is a thousand gold, boss?"
Ye Zhou said worriedly, "I don't know either. All I know about the Warring States period is that Qin Shi Huang unified the six kingdoms. I only know about bronze currency. What is the gold they are talking about? Is one currency equal to one gold?"
Chen Shu: "It's going to be sold to the system anyway, as long as they pay before here."
Ye Zhou was no longer worried: "You are right. As the king of a country, you must have some money."
"I'm fishing here like Jiang Taigong, but I didn't expect to catch such a big fish." Ye Zhou's mood improved, "Maybe I can reach the target amount soon."
In this dimension, the system gave him a business target of 50 million.
Although it seems like a lot, the monarch of a country, even a small one, can always come up with that much money, right?
It is difficult to make a profit of 50 million, but it should not be that difficult to have a business turnover of 50 million.
"Don't you care about those people outside?" Chen Shu asked, "From the looks of them, I don't think they will survive tonight."
There was no shelter from the wind outside, so they couldn't start a fire. Their clothes were not made of good fabrics, and it was not certain whether there was cotton in this plane. Their body temperature could not be locked in, and the temperature at night was low, so something could happen at any time.
Ye Zhou thought for a moment and said, "Even if I do, I can't do it now. I have to wait until Prince Chen wakes up."
Chen Shu: "I heard them call him Lord Chen."
Ye Zhou was stunned: "Isn't he the king?"
Ye Zhou blinked: "Princes... Yes, at first they were all marquises, and later they became dukes and kings."
"I have almost forgotten history." Ye Zhou rubbed his hair.
He had just finished rubbing when he found Zou Ming walking up to him.
Ye Zhou dodged to the side: "Don't touch me, I'm afraid of hair loss."
Zou Ming, who hadn't done anything yet: "..."
"I'll go call Zhou Yuanhe." Ye Zhou and Zou Ming walked towards the infirmary together.
Chen Shu shivered behind them and hurried to get a blanket and a cup. He didn't feel cold just now, but after coming back, he felt cold again.
When they arrived at the infirmary, Zhou Yuanhe had just performed an amputation operation on the person in the bed.
Because the toe was completely necrotic, Chen Dan did not feel any pain and just fell asleep during the operation.
He was already exhausted after the long journey. If he had not held his breath, he would have collapsed on the road.
As a thin person to begin with, he consumed calories quickly, and even Zhou Yuanhe found it incredible that he had managed to hold on until now.
"I'll be there right away." Zhou Yuanhe heard Ye Zhou calling him and immediately went to wash his hands.
He washed and disinfected his hands and walked out of the infirmary, pointing inside: "This guy is really amazing. Three of his toes were damaged and his left arm was almost broken, but he was able to come here to explore the way just now."
