The north wind swept up the white grass, and the snow fell in August.

If this poem had been placed last year, it would have been very accurate. At this time last year, it had already snowed twice in the land of Youlan. However, the winter this year was still very warm. Miraculously, there was no snow until the night of November 28th, the night before, when the first snowfall had arrived late. The entire northern lands had fallen into a blanket of silver overnight.

As their journey was coming to an end, Gongsun Xu handed over the matters of the camp to Guo Jia, Yan Rou and Zhao Yun during these few days. They spent a good few days in Liu Ninger's gentle and peaceful village, however, the training of the martial arts did not slow down even after every morning and night.

The spear was like a swimming dragon as snow scattered in all directions. When the dance was almost done, Gongsun Xu shouted out and stabbed his spear into a Plum Blossom Tree in the left corner of the courtyard. With a 'kacha' sound, the plum blossom tree with the thick mouth of a bowl was forcibly snapped, and the plum blossoms that were blooming were scattered all over the ground.

Liu Ninger heard the sound and came out wearing a thick jacket. Seeing that, she stomped her feet and said: "Brother Xu, the Plum Blossom blooms so well, why did you break it off for!"

"Heh heh." Gongsun Xu retracted his spear, and said apologetically: "I was a little forgetful just now. I'll have someone transplant a bigger Plum Blossom Tree over later."

"Good, good!" Yi Cui'er's family has many large Plum Blossom Tree, when Brother Xu is free, he will ask for one. "

"Sure, I just happen to be going out today. I'll pay a visit to the Le Mansion whenever I want to."

Liu Ninger opened her eyes wide: "Brother Xu wants to go out? "Where to?"

"We're going to the Tanhan Shan soon. We need to make some final preparations for the military camp."

"Oh," Liu Ninger pouted, feeling a little disappointed in her heart. If Gongsun Xu were to go to the army camp, she could not follow him and play.

"Let's go inside. It's cold outside." Gongsun Xu walked over and stood his spear under the porch and pulled Liu Ninger into the house.

The servant Su Er handed over a scalding cloth to wipe her face.

Su Er turned around and quickly brought in a tray. Inside were two bowls of scalding millet porridge and a few pasta cake.

Just as Gongsun Xu lifted the bowl, Liu Ninger suddenly said. "Brother Xu, I forgot to tell you something last night."

"What is it?" Gongsun Xu drank a mouthful of porridge and asked while drawing in the cold air.

"Rui Er brought Big Sister Mo over yesterday afternoon. At that time, Brother Xu was called over by the Marquis, and she waited for an hour before leaving. He said that he would come again today to pay his respects."

"She's back so soon?" Gongsun Xu was a little surprised. A dozen or so days ago, he intentionally dragged out three days of time, then pretended to reluctantly agree to Mo Bingmei's request of taking in the refugees in the pass. He did not expect that she would return so quickly.

Gongsun Xu was really looking forward to the beautiful daughter of the Mo family. Of course, it was not the kind of look for men and women, but for the full support of the other party. That day, when Liu Ji and the others surrounded the Le Mansion, the Sixth Brother took out a letter and showed it to Ku Le. Inside the letter, it was filled with the dirty work of Liu Ji and the others. It was only after the incident that Gongsun Xu found out that Ol 'Six had been an outer disciple of the Mo family for the past few years. That letter was brought here by Ol' Six and the contents were also found by the disciples of the Mo family. When he found out about this at that time, Gongsun Xu was ecstatic and fearful. He was happy that this power could temporarily help him become a tyrant, and afraid that if this power lost control in the future, it would bring him a lot of trouble.

Liu Ninger also took a sip of the porridge, and said as if it was a matter of course, "Sister Mo's martial arts are so profound, why are you back so soon?"

"When did she say she was coming?" Gongsun Xu picked up the pasta cake and took a bite, then asked.

"He said he'll be here early in the morning."

"Young master, Mo Xiaoniangzi is here." Before Liu Ninger could finish speaking, Gongsun Jia's voice came from outside the courtyard.

"Please don't, I'll go greet her." Gongsun Xu threw down the pasta cake and walked out in large strides.

Su Er quietly asked: "Has young miss general fallen for that Mo Bingmei?"

"Don't talk nonsense!" Liu Ninger scolded softly, and muttered to herself, "That Big Sister Mo is as cold as a block of ice, how could Brother Xu like her?"

Although Liu Ninger said this, she was also muttering this in her heart, and wanted to find an opportunity to test Gongsun Xu's words.

Gongsun Xu walked to the entrance of the courtyard and immediately saw Mo Bingmei, who was wearing a snow-white mink fur. He stood there charmingly and couldn't help but be stunned, as he hurriedly cupped his hands across his chest and asked: "My wife, you worked hard all the way, did your trip go smoothly?"

Mo Bingmei bowed slightly as she returned the greeting. "Thank you for Young Noble's concern, I have not failed in my mission and have brought back more than 270,000 refugees!"

Gongsun Xu was ecstatic, and immediately asked: "Where are they?"

"Youzhou City. Zou County's officials have placed them in an unoccupied military camp and provided them with two meals of porridge and two pasta cake. " A smile swept across Mo Bingmei's mouth, she seemed to be in a good mood.

"Very good!" Gongsun Xu nodded his head in praise, "I will discuss this with my father, and then we can decide on how many people to send to Ji County."

"Thank you for the trouble, young master." Mo Bingmei thanked him, then suddenly said: "I have brought something here, is Young Noble interested?"

"What?" Gongsun Xu was suddenly interested. Someone that could be solemnly brought up by this beautiful woman must definitely not be some simple item.

"A detailed map of the city, as well as some of the latest news from the imperial government."

"Good stuff!" Haha, this is great stuff! Young lady, I am extremely interested in the affairs of the imperial court. Gongsun Xu was extremely happy as he dragged Mo Bingmei's arm and walked inside without saying anything.

Mo Bingmei's body trembled, she acted as though she wanted to pull her arm out, but for some reason, she gave up, lowered her head, and allowed Gongsun Xu to pull him inside.

Su Er had always been watching from the window and could not help but exclaim: "Miss! Quickly come and take a look! "

Liu Ninger shot over like an arrow, and when she saw Gongsun Xu holding onto Mo Bingmei's arm, she immediately frowned.

"Miss, do you want me to tell Eldest Miss?"

"Don't go!" Liu Ninger hurriedly stopped her, and softly said: "Brother Xu knows what to do, if Rui Er were to know about this, there will definitely be a lot of trouble."

"Oh," Su Er stretched out her voice, feeling extremely unhappy in her heart.

Then, Gongsun Xu arrived at the door, released Mo Bingmei's arm, and instructed: "Su Er, go and get a bowl."

Mo Bingmei panicked: "Young Master, I have already eaten breakfast."

"It's fine, just a bit more after eating. Su Er, why aren't you going! "

"Here!" Su Er reluctantly left.

"Sister Mo, you're so beautiful today!" Liu Ninger came up and stopped Mo Bingmei. She complimented her with a smile.

Mo Bingmei laughed indifferently, she did not say anything.

"Where are the items?" Gongsun Xu asked anxiously.

Mo Bingmei took out a sheepskin scroll from her sleeve, spread it out, and placed it on the table.

Gongsun Xu could not help but look at it, it was indeed an extremely fine map of the Central Mountain Pass. Although there was no latitude and longitude, the roads, rivers, mountains and rivers were all accurately marked.

"Where did you get this?" Gongsun Xu asked lovingly.

Mo Bingmei said indifferently: "This is a treasure trove from the former Qin Court, I accidentally got it from an inner disciple."

Gongsun Xu didn't know whether he should praise them or praise them. This was a secret scripture of the Great Qin Empire.

"What news has the imperial government received recently?" Gongsun Xu decided to not pursue this issue anymore, and knocked on the public opinion map's Chang An's position to ask Mo Bingmei.

Mo Bingmei said softly, "Fan Chou and Li Que have started an internal strife. If not for Zhang Ji's timely advice, they would have already met face to face."

"That's not surprising." Gongsun Xu shook his head, and explained: "They are all selfish, petty, selfish individuals, and it is normal for them to fall out for money and power, or for women. Do you know how His Majesty is doing? "

Mo Bingmei shook her head: "The emperor has always been locked in the palace, it's hard for me to get close to him, but I heard that Dong Cheng seems to be plotting something."

Clothes with an edict! Gongsun Xu's mind surfaced these two words, after that he patted his forehead in annoyance, he was truly confused, Cao Cao Cao was still in Yanzhou and did not kidnap Liu Xie to go to Xu Chang, where did the order come from?

"Young Master?" Mo Bingmei looked at Gongsun Xu doubtfully.

"I'm fine!" Could the little lady get someone to investigate what Dong Cheng actually wanted to do? Besides, it would be best if your men could get close to His Majesty. "

"About this," Mo Bingmei hesitated for a moment, then nodded: "Try your best."

Gongsun Xu blurted out, "There's no need to be so anxious. Before Li Que's civil war, His Majesty was still very safe."

Mo Bingmei immediately understood, and asked softly: "Could it be that Young Master wishes to welcome Your Majesty to the Youzhou?"

Gongsun Xu was shocked, this girl was truly clever, she only said a few words before she noticed the inner thoughts in his heart. However, since they were allies, there was nothing to hide. Thus, he nodded and admitted it.

"Young master, that's a good idea!" Mo Bingmei praised softly, "Although the reputation of the current dynasty is in disarray, the emperor still has a lot of reputation. If young master can 'invite' the emperor to the Youzhou, then it would undoubtedly be a righteous cause!"

Gongsun Xu sighed: "My wife, can I ask you for a favor?"

"What is it?" Mo Bingmei opened her beautiful eyes wide.

"Can you not be so smart? Every time I didn't even finish my sentence, you would know what I wanted to say. Gongsun Xu intentionally told a joke with a sullen face.

"No way!" Mo Bingmei thought for a long time before resolutely shaking her head.

"Fine," Gongsun Xu shook his head helplessly. He shouldn't joke with this ice mountain lady.

"Young master, if you want this little girl to become stupid, it's not impossible! Just agree to one of my conditions! "

"What condition?"

"I heard that Young Master is going to the Tanhan Shan, this little girl is very interested in going with you."

"What are you doing there?" Gongsun Xu was stunned.

"This is my daughter's private matter. Does young master want to know too?"
