The next morning, news came from Huo Yingxing in Guanzhong, Douchuan, and Donghao's army suffered heavy losses, either dead or fleeing, Douchuan Pass has returned to Bei'an's arms!

Although Gu Zhao had already expected this result, he still couldn't help but feel excited.

Recover Douchuan Pass and rebuild the Beiguo Gate. Bei'an has no longer had the crisis of chest and abdomen exposed.

Then, the tragedy that was attacked by Donghao's army in his previous life that caused the people to suffer a lot will most likely not happen again!

...

Gu Zhao stood up and turned to the mirror a few times. In the bronze mirror, there was a young official with a thrilling posture, and there was no sign of the woman's posture at all.

Madam Wu nodded with satisfaction.

Gu Zhao's disguise level is getting higher and higher now, so she doesn't have to do anything at all. She just needs to help you pay attention to whether there are any omissions.

It is said that he is a county magistrate, but in fact, except for the changes in the official uniforms, there is not much difference from when Gu Zhao was a county magistrate before.

Everything is back on track.

Gu Zhao originally thought Qin Xinglie would try his best to continue looking for her, but he didn't expect that the weather was calm these days. It seemed that Qin Xinglie was really dumped by her again...

Inexplicably, Gu Zhao felt a little guilty - she must be stupid, why did she have this kind of thought?

What is she guilty of? Even Douchuan Pass has given up on her contributions. What else can I feel sorry for Qin Xinglie?

Half a month later, the imperial envoys who set out from Shangjing City passed by Shicheng and lived in the inn outside the city.

The Minister of Rites personally led the team to go to Douchuan Pass and issued a commendation decree.

It was already the twelfth lunar month, and the weather was cold. Whether it was officials or soldiers in the team, they all had their noses red and their bodies were chilling.

As usual, Gu Zhao immediately rushed to the inn to pay a visit.

This minister of the Ministry of Rites should have entered Beijing after Gu Zhao left, and Gu Zhao had never seen him before.

"Mr. He County, please quickly transfer 300 civil servants and follow me to go to Douchuan Pass." The Minister of Rites was very anxious.

He looked at the sky from time to time.

Although it was noon, the sky was covered with lead clouds, and a heavy snow was coming.

There were many big cars in the team he led, and they were all rewards given to the Death Army by the Lord, which was very heavy.

If it snows, it must be promoted by the civil servants to continue moving forward.

As for staying and waiting for the snow to stop, it is simply impossible.

The imperial edict has a time limit. Who knows when the snow will stop? If it delays the big thing, no one can afford it!

Gu Zhao could also see the changes in the weather, so he could only go back to the city according to his request and chose 300 well-dressed men, prepared the food and supplies needed on the road, and rode his horse to Douchuan Pass.

Halfway through the way, the snow fell.

The snow in the north is completely different from the snow in the capital.

The snow pieces in the north are the size of children's palms, densely packed, and they are whipping towards the faces in the sharp sound of the wind, making people unable to open their eyes.

Even if you are wearing a thick cotton jacket and a cotton hat, you will feel the chill in the wind and snow.

Gu Zhao had already got off the horse, put on a straw raincoat, followed behind the cart, and worked hard with everyone to push the cart, moving forward step by step.

"Sir, there is a deserted village ahead!" The soldiers who were sent out to explore the way finally found a place to hide from the wind and snow. The group struggled to fight the wind and snow and entered the deserted village.

There has been no people in the deserted village.

This is the consequence of the raging cavalry of the Donghao people.

Although many of the houses in the village were dilapidated, fortunately I found a yard with blue bricks and black tiles, and most of the houses were intact, enough for them to live temporarily.

Everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when they walked into the room from the wind and snow.

Gu Zhao shook his straw raincoat, insisted on walking around, and settled all the villagers before returning to the room he distributed to him.

The two maids who followed her were both born to the He family. Knowing Gu Zhao's identity, they were worried that she would suffer from the cold along the way.

As soon as he entered the room, a maid quickly found firewood to light it, and put the small pot he carried with him on the fire with clean snow.

Another maid started to serve Gu Zhao to change clothes. "Sir, please change the wet clothes quickly to avoid the wind and cold."

Gu Zhao changed his clothes from inside to outside and drank a cup of hot tea, and felt much better.

There were no mattresses in the room, so they could only spread the mattresses they brought on the ground, and the three of them squeezed together to keep warm for the night.

Fortunately, the villagers went to other homes in the village to find some wood, and Gu Zhao could also light a brazier, which made the room feel a little warm.

After dinner, everything was silent. Except for the soldiers on the night, everyone was so tired that they slept.

A cavalry team was speeding on the way from Douchuan Pass toward Shicheng.

At the front of the team, Qin Xinglie, who was not wearing a mask.

He wore a snow-capped hat and a black straw raincoat, with a somewhat anxious look, and kept clamping his horse's belly and rushed forward.

The snow has become lighter and the wind has almost stopped, but it is still very difficult to gallop on such a snowy night.

However, this cavalry team with less than a hundred people seemed to have been used to this harsh environment. It was fine and its speed did not decrease. It was like a sharp arrow rushing into the heavy snow.

Following Qin Xinglie immediately was Lin Junting.
