Xiao Beiheng escaped from Xuehe Village, fearing that the Xirong army would be chasing him, so he galloped wildly for a while.It wasn't until the sun rose high that the land in front of him was completely white, and he couldn't tell the direction, so he slowed down the horse.

Su Mo leaned on his chest, seeing that his hands holding the rein were freezing cold, so she pulled her cloak over to cover it.

However, Xiao Beiheng didn't pay attention to Su Mo's actions, his heart was filled with frustration and fear, and he had no room to feel Su Mo's affection.

He looked back to the way he had come, and sure enough, he saw several groups of cavalry chasing from afar.He was a little panicked for a while, until he realized that it was Lin Kui who led the Dingbei Army to pursue him, and then he stopped and waited in peace.

After the number of people was gathered, Xiao Beiheng nodded, and only two thousand cavalrymen followed, and the rest of them were clearly in danger.

At this moment, he was not as panicked as he was when he escaped from Leshan City, his mind was much clearer, and he said to Lin Kui: "If you can catch up with me by following the hoofprints, then Qiang Forest must be able to too. Let's not stay here."

Lin Kui looked back at the messy horseshoe prints on the way, and said, "Your Majesty is right, but we can't go further west. That would make us farther and farther away from Anzhou's reinforcements."

What Xiao Beiheng was worried about was that he had few soldiers, afraid that Qiang Lin would come after him again, and said: "No, this place is still a little closer to Xuehe Village, let's go further."

Everyone walked west for a while, the sun once again disappeared into the dark clouds, and thin snowflakes fell from the sky, gradually covering the horseshoe marks.

Lin Kui looked at the position of the sun, caught up with Xiao Beiheng and said, "Your Majesty, it's already past noon, and it's snowing again, and the soldiers haven't eaten yet. Shall we find a place to rest."

Seeing the horse's hoofprints covered by snow, Xiao Beiheng felt a little less nervous. He pointed to a forest in front of him and said, "Okay, let's go to the forest to rest."

Although the soldiers followed Xiao Beiheng loyally, they hadn't eaten since morning, and they were trudging against the wind and snow, suffering unspeakably.Seeing Xiao Beiheng's words, everyone rushed into the woods and found a spacious place. Some went to chop firewood to build a fire, and some used branches to build a simple tent for Xiao Beiheng to keep out the snow. The rest gathered around the fire to keep warm in the open air.

The heating problem was temporarily solved, but there was no food.Lin Kui took it upon himself to ask the soldiers to slaughter a few old and weak war horses, put the snow in the iron helmet and burn it, and then cut the horse meat into pieces and boiled it.

Xiao Beiheng sat cross-legged at the entrance of the tent, staring blankly at the busy soldiers in front of him.

He has never experienced such a day.In the past, he was always huddling around, traveling like a cloud, and if he wanted anything, he only needed to raise his head, and the smart servants would bring it to him.

Now he is sitting in a simple tent made of branches, and he can't even straighten his waist. As long as he straightens his waist, the branches will hit his head.The ground was too cold to sit on, so I could only fold up a few cloaks and put them on the ground.

After living for so many years, now he knows that winter is so cold.

He is obviously the emperor, why did he fall into this situation?
While he was in a trance, Su Mo came over with a branch, on which were some pieces of steaming horse meat.She came in front of him, knelt down and handed him the branch, and said with a smile:
"Your Majesty, this is the meat cooked by the concubine himself. Please have a meal with your Majesty."

Xiao Beiheng took the branch, opened his mouth and tore off a piece of meat. The mouth was so sticky and tough that he couldn't chew it. It also had a strange smell of hair, which was as unpalatable as it could be.

He looked at the fire in the distance, and realized that it was meat cooked with a sergeant's helmet, and his expression changed.Seeing Su Mo looking at him with a smile on his face, he became even more angry for no reason, spat out the meat, and threw the branch out.

Su Mo got up and chased, picked up the branch, patted off the snow on the meat, put it back into the pot, took another bunch of hot ones, and said in a warm voice: "Bei Heng, eat something, otherwise the enemy soldiers will not have the strength to chase after you." What about fighting?"

Xiao Beiheng wanted to get angry.I didn't eat well in Xuehe Village before, but it was something people ate anyway.Now this horse meat cannot be imported at all.

The sergeants were all around. Considering his identity, he finally suppressed his anger, shook his head and said, "I'm not hungry."

Su Mo knew that he just couldn't stand the taste of the meat, so she took a bite first, frowning and chewing hard.

She is also from a famous family, and she has never eaten such crude food since she was a child. She almost wanted to vomit, but finally swallowed it with force, and said to Xiao Beiheng with a smile: "Beiheng, look, I ate it all, and you eat it too." piece."

Xiao Beiheng glanced at her, and said, "You're lying, such an unpalatable thing...you vomited secretly."

Su Mo smiled and opened her mouth and said, "I ate it in front of you. Look, I really swallowed it."

Xiao Beiheng was still waiting to speak, when Su Mo's complexion suddenly changed, she covered her chest with her hands and retched twice, and with a wow, she spat out all the minced meat that she had swallowed forcefully just now.

"Who told you to be brave?" Xiao Beiheng snatched the branch from Su Mo's hand and patted her on the back, "Don't eat it yet, drink some hot water to warm your body. Horse meat is not fat, it takes a long time to cook to chew it .”

Su Mo blushed and said, "I want you to eat quickly..."

Xiao Beiheng raised his hand to stop her from continuing, listened attentively, then picked up the carved bow and quiver and stood up.

Su Mo thought that some soldiers from the West were coming, so she stood up nervously and looked around, and said, "Bei Heng, do you want everyone to be alert?"

Xiao Beiheng didn't answer, suddenly he drew his arrow and bowed, and shot it away.Su Mo looked along the arrow path, and saw something falling from the tree in the distance.Lin Kui got up and ran over to check. In the blink of an eye, he came out of the bushes with a dead pheasant in hand, and shouted, "Your Majesty's magic arrow."

There is a pheasant's nest in the woods, and there are so many noisy people, the pheasant is frightened and flies to the branch to coo and scream, Xiao Beiheng hears it, and shoots it down with an arrow.

Su Mo was overjoyed, and asked the sergeant to pluck the pheasant, let it bled, and cut it into pieces. She personally cooked the chicken in snow-melted water, and after it was cooked, she served it to Xiao Beiheng.

Xiao Beiheng ate two pieces of chicken. Although there was no salt or seasoning, it still tasted delicious.He greeted Su Mo and said, "Momo, come and have dinner with me." Su Mo happily agreed and sat down beside him.

The two sat around the fire and ate up a whole pheasant.

Su Mo wasn't hungry, but her body was warm. Seeing Xiao Beiheng's expression softened, she couldn't help being happy, and said, "Sister-in-law said that she also ate pheasant when she and her elder brother were down and out..."

She had just said a word when she saw Xiao Beiheng's face darken, knowing that she shouldn't say these words, she quickly stopped her mouth.

Both of them stared silently at the bonfire in front of them, speechless for a while.

After a while, it was Su Mo who spoke first, and said, "Your Majesty... Victory or defeat is a common matter in military affairs. As long as we meet up with my father later, we can make a comeback."

"Do you want me to win?" Xiao Beiheng asked.

Su Mo froze for a moment, then smiled and said, "I'm your wife, why don't I want you to win. But... do we have to fight to the death with Big Brother? Can't we reconcile with him?"

Xiao Beiheng sneered and said, "Impossible. He sent Qiang Lin to chase me down, and he made it clear that he was here to kill me."

"Brother is not that kind of person..."

"What do you know. He didn't come to hunt me down personally, just because he was afraid of ruining his reputation." Xiao Beiheng said, "I pushed him into a corner, and he wanted me dead more than anyone else."

The neighing of horses was heard from a distance outside the woods. The soldiers who were eating and drinking stood up and looked out of the forest. Xiao Beiheng also got up vigilantly.

A sergeant who was in charge of monitoring outside the forest rushed into the forest and shouted: "Your Majesty, Xi..." Before he could say the last words, an arrow flew from a distance and shot the man to the ground.

The sergeants in the open space were in a great chaos, throwing away the uneaten horse meat in their hands, hurriedly picked up their weapons, and saddled their horses.

Xiao Beiheng caught a glimpse of the Qiang character flag flickering in the forest, and said angrily: "Qiang Lin, you lingering thing."

He had captured Qianglin before, but now, in turn, he became the prey, and Qianglin became the hunter to kill.He couldn't even eat a solid meal.

This huge gap made him furious, and with a burst of vigor, he rode on Wuzhi and charged towards the incoming army, determined to kill Qiang Lin.

Qiang Lin rushed into the forest first, and Xiao Beiheng galloped his horse to meet him.

"Xiao Beiheng!"

"Qiang Lin!"

The two recognized each other from a distance, and the enemies were extremely jealous when they met.Xiao Beiheng's carved bow had a longer range than ordinary bows. He first drew the bow and shot an arrow at the Qiang Forest. There were many trees in the forest, and the arrow happened to be blocked by a tree.

Taking advantage of Xiao Beiheng's instant drawing of the arrow, Qiang Lin led his horse and rushed to the side, avoiding the barriers of many tree trunks, and shot an arrow through the gap.

Xiao Beiheng thought that Qiang Lin was shooting him, so he turned sideways to hide the arrow, but he didn't expect the arrow to come towards Wuzhao.Although Wu Zai is a steed, he can't dodge the flying arrows, and the shadow of the arrow flashed, piercing into Wu Zai's left leg.

Wuzhen let out a long hiss, knelt down on his front hoof, and threw Xiao Beiheng off the saddle.
