Stepmother dressed as five villains

Chapter 442 Letter to Xiaolou
frontier.

The bitter cold in the frontier of humanity is not only about the fact that this place does not shit, it is neither prosperous nor gentle.

Most importantly, it's really cold.

Dayu is located in the Central Plains, and the climate is pleasant in all seasons, with distinct distinctions between cold and warm.

But in the same way, how can a huge country not have a south and a north.

Under the premise of four distinct seasons, it is relatively warm to the south, and the lowest climate will not be too cold.

Likewise, a little further north is relatively cooler, and the hottest temperatures aren't too hot.

The frontier in the mouths of the people of Dayu is the northernmost part of the entire dynasty. The heat will not be too hot, and the cold will kill a person.

Now is the coldest time of the year.

All the people in the frontier shrank their necks and hid in their houses, resolutely not going out if there was nothing important to do, and even if they went out, they would sneak out quickly and then slip back.

If you want to say that the only place with a spiritual head is probably the barracks.

Boys in their teens and 20s, wearing thin jackets, waved their fists, swung their spears, and shouted slogans in the icy cold wind, as if they wanted to compete with the cold weather.

Among them, a tall, muscular kid stood out in the crowd.

He stood at the front, he didn't look very old, and his face was still a little childish, but his height and muscles were no less than that of the eighteen or nineteen-year-old boy beside him.

Moreover, he seemed to have an extraordinary status. Not only did he not mix with the crowd to exercise, but he held a spear and demonstrated something in a decent manner.

Until a little man hurried over and shouted, "Little General Gu, Little General Gu."

The boy stopped his movements, put on his padded jacket, wiped his sweat and walked over, "Xiao Zhou, what's the matter?"

"Little General Gu, there's a letter from the capital. It seems to be a letter from your family." The little man smiled, "Did the little general's concubine send you delicious food again?"

As he spoke, he licked the saliva that was about to fall from the corner of his mouth.

There is less food in the military camp, and delicious food is even rarer, especially in this cold winter, the soldiers in the military camp have nothing but dried steamed buns every day, and occasionally less mutton soup to make steamed buns, because there is more suet than mutton. The smell of mutton is more than that of meat.

Fortunately, they also have a little general Gu. I heard that he has a mother who is the concubine of the county.

It's strange to say that such ordinary ingredients, once made by the princess of the county, immediately taste delicious and make people want to swallow their tongues.

At first, General Gu ate alone, but when someone found out later, he reluctantly shared some.

Afterwards, everyone began to take the initiative to please General Gu in exchange for a little bit of delicious food from General Gu. Although it did not succeed every time, as long as it succeeded once in ten times, it was enough for the soldiers to cheer .

For example, there are often family letters in the military camp, but ordinary people's family letters usually take ten days and a half months to get them, but Gu Xiaolou's family letters almost arrive on the same day, and someone delivers them on the same day.

Because everyone knows that if you come with a letter from home, there must be something delicious.

"Little general, what did the princess of the county say?" Seeing that Gu Lou ignored him, Xiao Zhou stretched out his head and shook his head from side to side, "When I was taking the family letter, I saw several jars behind, and Da Zhou was carrying it to send it to me. The little general’s tent is gone, and I don’t know what’s in it, but it’s pretty tightly covered.”

As usual, Gu Lou must have passed away with a smile.

But this time, he frowned tightly, said nothing, and his eyes were solemn.

Xiao Zhou finally realized that something was wrong, and said nervously, "Little General, what's wrong? But what happened?"

A few months ago, the capital was shaken, and the mighty general marched back to the capital with half of the army, but this group of young soldiers was frightened, thinking that a war was about to happen.

Although the danger was turned to safety later, the new emperor ascended the throne and pardoned the world, the soldiers in the barracks still remembered the unspeakable sense of panic.

Peaceful days are really hard to come by. In the frontier, battles are fought and blood is shed.

A head that is still on the top today may fall to the ground tomorrow.

Life is short and impermanent. Xiao Zhou is only a teenager, and he already understands to cherish the present and be cautious about the future.

"It's okay." Gu Lou put away the family letter, and his expression returned to joking, "Xiao Zhou wants to eat good food again, this time check the amount, if there is more, I will share with you, if there is less, you can't compete with me, I can't get enough of what my mother cooks."

"Okay, okay, I won't rob you." Xiao Zhou breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and returned to his smile, "I still have a few family letters in my hand, send them to them first, the little general is waiting for me in the tent."

Gu Lou nodded slightly and watched him leave.

It wasn't until Xiao Zhou's figure completely disappeared that he stopped smiling, his eyes full of condensation.

The content of the envelope is actually not simple.

This is a letter written by Ji Yunshu. He told his fat son to use his position to inquire whether Dayuan has been in contact with the Zhao family recently.

How could Da Yuan and the Zhao family be connected?
If it was before, when Gu Lou could only eat chicken drumsticks, he would have been at a loss, not knowing why.

But now, after living in the military camp for more than a year, Xiao Gulou has already been reborn, and he has started to use his brain to think about things.

First of all, this incident must have something to do with Dayuan's massacre of villages a while ago.

It wasn't that Gu Lou didn't doubt it at the time, what was wrong with Da Yuan, and he wanted to have a bad relationship with Dayu?Or is it purely some rogue bandits acting willfully?
I had no idea at the time, so I just guessed for a while and then let it go.

Now Yu Feicheng used the method of reverse speculation to directly investigate whether the Zhao family entered and exited Dayuan. If the evidence showed that there was a connection between them, then the strange movement of Dayuan before could be explained.

Of course, the frontier is becoming more and more dangerous.

Dayuan's movements don't seem to be easy to let go, and the Zhao family has Zhao Heng, who is bottomless, and Yu Feisheng, who is justified.

Everything is so coincidental.

Perhaps, the frontier will soon be restless.

Gu Xiaolou put down the family letter, glanced at Da Yuan's direction, sighed softly, and walked into the tent.

The family letter is divided into two letters.

The last seal was Ji Yunshu's solemn account of state affairs, and he also asked Gu Xiaolou not to disclose it, and carefully inspected it to avoid alarming the enemy.

The next letter was Qiao's constant nagging, telling him that his pregnant belly was getting bigger and bigger, Xiao Ge'er and Xiao Que'er had some conflicts, and they didn't talk much for the past two days.

Also, she recently pickled some chilli cucumbers and made sauced beef, and sent him two jars.

Sauce beef, it's been a long time since I've eaten meat made by my mother.

Gu Xiaolou walked faster and faster, the last family letter was torn up and folded and thrown into the stinky ditch, the next family letter was solemnly kicked into his arms, and quickly got into the tent.

Then, he smelled a strong aroma of sauced beef.

In the little general's exclusive camp, a figure squatted in front of Gu Xiaolou's jar, holding a piece of beef in one hand, and chewing it like no one else was around.
