The cold wind whistled, mixed with large snowflakes flying randomly in the air, landing on the ground, touching on the trees, and finally blending with the endless white, adding a chill to the world.

A thatched hut on the side of the road trembled uneasily in the strong wind. Every snow fell, as if it would make its weak body moan in pain. Thick snow had fallen on the roof, and the bottom had condensed into ice and was connected with the thatched hut. The floating snow on the top was flying in the strong wind, and fog flew from time to time. While falling on the roof, it could continue to breathe.

The walls are made of straw mats. I don’t know how long it took, there were holes everywhere. The wind poured into the holes and made a sharp whistle.

The temperature inside the house is not much higher than that outside, but it can give people a psychological heat. In such weather, there is no urgent matter, so naturally no one goes out. However, today, there are actually guests in this dilapidated thatched hut.

A pile of fire was burning with peeling and the pale flames did not provide much temperature for people. Two people sat cross-legged by the fire, one wrapped in a thick fur coat, but was still trembling, looking at the fire in his arms, while the other was wearing only an ordinary jacket, with a leisurely expression, looking at a rabbit roasted on the fire, from time to time, some powdery things would be found from a bag on the ground and sprinkled on the rabbit. With every move, a rich fragrance sounded in the hut.

"This place is pretty good, Ah Yen, Ah Yen! Qin Feng, have you taken a fancy to this place too? This is a little cold, Ah Yen!" While rubbing his red nose, Shu Chang looked at the guy opposite him. It was so annoying that he had become a dog, but the guy was only wearing a jacket but still seemed nothing.

"A great doctor who is a great doctor who is good at medicine will be frostbite, it will be a strange thing. Well, I really want to see how you treat your own pulse?" Qin Feng chuckled, looking gloating.

"Don't bring this kind of thing!" Shu Chang rubbed her nose and said hummingly: "Doctors can't cure their own illness, so I don't know. Alas, I thought, if I had just put more energy into practicing martial arts, at least I wouldn't have to be as embarrassed as I am now."

"It's not too late now." Qin Feng turned the roasted rabbit in his hand and said, "You are so smart and talented. As long as you calm down, it's not difficult to make yourself stronger."

"Forget it!" Shu Chang waved his hand, "One mind cannot be used twice. Now my martial arts are more than enough to deal with a few little thieves. Just being able to protect yourself. How can I practice kung fu? The medicine alone is enough to be busy all my life. If I focus on both intestines, the final result will be nothing. Anyway, with a big bodyguard like you, what's so scary about me?"

"It seems you're going to be the one who can win me?" Qin Feng laughed.

"You should feel fortunate that I am by your side." Shu Chang shook her head, "With me, you will have at least a few more lives, right?"

"That's not bad." Qin Feng rarely quarreled with him this time. "Your medical skills are almost in harmony with the gods. When you were fighting in the past, as long as you think of you waiting for me in the camp, you would add some strength."

"What medicine is so powerful? You have never read the notes of Emperor Li Qing. The things recorded in his notes are the real miracle!" Shu Chang sighed, "My only goal in my life is to follow those things, but now it seems that there is no hope at all. Qin Feng, do you believe that there is any medical technique that can change one's head on another's head, dig out one's heart and put it in another's chest?"

Qin Feng was slightly stunned. Instead of answering Shu Chang's words directly, he asked back, "You have been talking to me about Emperor Li Qing, but I really can't figure out what does a guy from a thousand years ago have to do with you?"

"What's the relationship?" Shu Chang smiled, "Our ancestors, a thousand years ago, were the imperial doctors who followed Emperor Li Qing. After thousands of years, in my generation, there were only two people left."

"Two people? Well, so, do you have a senior brother or junior brother? Why have you never heard you mention it?" Qin Feng asked curiously. The first time he heard Shu Chang talk about his background. Although the two had a deep relationship before, Qin Feng never asked about each other's privacy.

"It's not the senior brother, but the junior sister!" Shu Chang smiled bitterly.

"Junior sister?" Qin Feng smiled a little awkwardly, "Senior brother and sister, I have been together for many years, that's a lot of explanation!"

Humph! Shu Chang's face became bitter, "When you have the chance to see her in the future, let's talk about this problem!"

"It seems that you are quite afraid of her. The senior brother is afraid of her junior sister. It's strange, except for one situation!" Qin Feng smiled and teared off a rabbit leg and handed it to Shu Chang, "Come on, eat a little, it's hot!"

After taking the rabbit's legs, Shu Chang laughed and said, "If you have the chance to see her, you will understand. Forget it, you haven't answered my previous question yet. Do you believe the things recorded in the Emperor's notes? It's vivid, just like the real one. The key is that our ancestors, who actually agreed with the Emperor's words in the things left behind, said that they had seen such a major operation with their own eyes. Do you believe it?"

"I believe." Qin Feng said decisively.

"Do you believe it?" Shu Chang looked at him in surprise, "I'm still worried that you would call me a lunatic? Why do you believe in such absurd things? To be honest, over the years, I have been committed to doing these things, but I can't even see a little hope of success. Even I myself suspect that the Emperor had completely suffered from ill diseases back then, and our ancestors were simply flattering and pleasing."

Qin Feng looked at Shu Chang thoughtfully, smiled, but didn't say anything, and gnawed on the rabbit's legs. He had really seen such a thing! However, Shu Chang could never do it in her life.

"Yanshan is a good place." Chewing on the rabbit's legs, Qin Feng said: "Backing the mountains, facing the plains, far away from the core area of ​​the rule of Yue, and at the current junction between Qi and Yue, it is almost a vacuum area above the rule. For us who are extremely weak now, it is a good opportunity for development."

"But the population is not large. To develop, the most basic thing is the population!" Shu Chang said.

"Didn't you find that the people here are poor?" Qin Feng smiled and said, "There is a way. Moreover, the Yue people just lost 500 miles of land. I think those who come to these places must still be in their homeland. We have walked these days, but we saw the Yue people's resistance and the Qin people's cruel suppression have created good conditions for us to attract these people. Of course, the premise is that we show considerable strength."

"Do you want to take Fengxian first?"

"It's not possible yet. With our few manpower, it's not too difficult to take over a small county of Fengxian. But if we occupy a place like a county town, it will inevitably make things worse and will inevitably attract the attention of those in power. So, when we are sure that we can hold on, we can take it down. Now, let's not say anything and work quietly." Qin Feng said.

"If you think so, I'll feel relieved. Is your initial focus of strategy Qi State?"

"Of course. Qi State just occupied these lands and its unstable rule was just a good time to start. With Feng County as its foundation, it continued to erode and expand."

"The war between Qi and Chu is probably beginning next spring. Once the two countries start fighting, it is probably not possible to decide the winner in a short time. That is a good opportunity for us to develop, because before the winner is decided, Qi's attention is all on the other side of Chu, and we will not notice the small resistance in these marginal areas. By the time he reacts, he believes that we have become a hard bone that he can't chew. Therefore, our golden development time is about one to two years."

Listening to Qin Feng's words, Shu Chang nodded: "How many years do you think Chu can compete with Qi on the border?"

"Although Qi State is strong, Chu State has a deep foundation. It is the shortest time to decide the victory or defeat in five years. After all, the two sides are fighting a battle to destroy the country, and it is possible for more than ten or twenty years." Qin Feng smiled and said, "So we don't have to worry. When Qin Yue joins in, the world will look better."

"Not messy, how can we have a chance?" Shu Chang giggled, "It's messy, the more messy the better."

Qin Feng nodded, tearing away half of the rabbit meat, and was about to hand it to Shu Chang, but he was suddenly stunned, "Why is there a convoy rushing on this kind of weather?"

"Convoy?" Shu Chang was also stunned, stood up, looked out through the hole in the straw mat. Sure enough, in the distance, a convoy of more than a dozen carriages was struggling forward with difficulty on the snow.

After a day of difficult trek, Wang Hou and his group were extremely tired. It was better for Wang Hou to ride in the carriage, but the coachman and guards were all miserable. The whole day, the wind and snow did not stop. Every step he stepped on, the snow over his knee would take him a lot of effort. Even the horses in the trailer were still exhausted at this time.

"The boss, there is a wind sheltering wind in front of you. It's almost dark today. Why not take a break and let the guys take a rest. The wind and snow may stop tomorrow, and it's not too late to speed up the journey!" Lu Yifan walked to the side of the carriage and said to Wang Hou inside.

After lifting the curtain, looking at the sky, and then looking at the wind and snow that had no intention of stopping, Wang Hou shook his head helplessly, "Let's do it, finally have a place to shelter from the wind, so let the guys have a good rest and accumulate energy."

When everyone heard Wang Hou’s words, everyone’s faces showed joy. After working hard for a day, they finally had a good rest. Although a thatched hut could not block the cold, it was much better than sleeping in the wild. (To be continued.)
