Bypassing the not-so-high peak, passing through a narrow valley that only accommodates a ox cart, you will enter the valley surrounded by mountains.

Yue Qiyun looked at the uneven mountains around him and was quite satisfied with the terrain here. Because of the mountains around him, the strong winds became much smaller here.

"General Zhou Lang, please ask the soldiers to find a place to camp with leeward as soon as possible. Also, find a small team of people to be stationed at the highest point." Yue Qiyun pointed to the high ground guarding the mountain path and said: "Arranging sentries to take turns to work, no matter day and night, there must be someone on duty there. Also, mobile secret sentries should be sent to extend the defense range five miles outside the valley."

"Yes!" Zhou Lang clasped his fists as his chest, performed a regular military salute, and turned around to arrange what Yue Qiyun explained.

"Glassan, Roland." Yue Qiyun ordered the two little maids again: "Help Doctor Li get off the ox cart."

The Dragon and Tiger Guards have been fighting all year round and are not at all worried about sleeping in the wild. They obeyed General Zhou Lang's arrangements in an orderly manner. Some people set up tents, some lit bonfires, and some people picked up bows and arrows. While the sky was not dark, they thought about playing some wild game nearby.

Yue Qiyun looked at a few small bags with food and frowned tightly. When they left, they did not take a single grain of food. They only had a limited amount of food that the herdsmen had collected before they left. These things were not enough for five hundred people to eat.

I don’t know where the team sent to buy food has been sent. Yue Qiyun knew that if this continues, he and the Longhu Guard will be frozen to death and starved to death in the Yanbei grassland.

As the sky gradually darkened, soldiers who went out to hunt returned empty-handed with frown. In this cold season, all animals were huddled in hidden places, and few went out to find food.

"Huh? Girl, why are you here?" While you were worried, the land under Yue Qiyun's feet suddenly became sunken in a small pit, and then a gray-yellow mouse head emerged from the small pit, and a pair of shiny mouse eyes were rumbling around.

It was actually the big mouse that Yue Qiyun had always kept in the royal court and that helped her get out of trouble!

"Brother Mouse?" Yue Qiyun squatted down and asked curiously: "Why, you moved too?"

"Hehe, this season, humans have paid close attention to food. There is no food available in the Flame Clan camp. This is the place where our family stores food. My family has come here." The mouse said happily, shaking its long rat whiskers.

In the face of natural disasters, animals' intuition is the most accurate. The grassland mice began to store food for winter early, and coincidentally, this big mouse is the rat king on the grassland.

"Girl, look." The rat quietly jumped out of the ground, hid under Ulan's belly, lying on the ground, and pointed mysteriously at a small mound not far away and said, "Below this is the food we have saved for a summer. Save some food, which is enough to feed more than half of the rat tribe on the grassland."

"Compared with us, you are rich!" Yue Qiyun looked at the small bags of food beside her and couldn't help but envy these mice and sighed.

"What, girl, do you have no food? No way, you are the concubine of the Flame Clan, how could you stop eating?" The big mouse was very puzzled. According to its understanding of humans, as the leader of the tribe, even if some tribe members starve to death, these royal people will spend the long winter in a place of luxury and food.

"Hmph, those selfish and hateful royal people!" When Ulan thought of the faces of Su Muju and others, she felt very angry. If Yue Qiyun hadn't stopped him, it would have bitten the hateful fat man to pieces.

In Ulan's indignant story, the Rat King of the Prairie finally understood the whole story. The mouse's eyes turned several times, and his claws scratched hard on the snow, as if he had made up his mind: "Miss has taken good care of our family. Now, when you encounter difficulties, we can't stand by. In this way, we will share the food we have saved to the girl. Alas, if I say that I can help the girl, this is all that we have to live, after all, we mice have to live, right?"

"Eat...your food?" Yue Qiyun was a little unbelievable. She only knew that mice stole human food, but she had never heard of mice sharing food with humans.

"Why, the girl dislikes our food?" The big mouse became unhappy and jumped onto Ulan's head and said, "Don't look at us being a bit slutty, but those foods were just saved this year and they haven't gotten moldy yet!"

"I, I mean..." Yue Qiyun hurriedly explained: "It's not easy for you to save some food. We, the 500 people, will you eat up all your food you have saved for a year?"

"Hahaha." The big mouse crawled under Ulan's long hair again, revealing a wretched mouse face and smiled: "This is just our place to store grain. There are a few places like this. But those are old storage, and I'm afraid the girls can't eat it."

As they were talking, some soldiers had already set up a few large iron pots and put large pieces of ice and snow in them. Not long after, the snow water in the iron pot boiled. The crackling sound of firewood burning and the heat rising from the pot dispelled some of the cold winter.

Gladiolus came over, took the small pockets with people, poured the grain mixed with bran into an iron pot and boiled it.

Yue Qiyun looked at the sparse grains in the boiling water, and then looked at the soldiers who looked blue due to hunger and cold, and felt unbearable.

She took a long knife from a soldier beside her, gritted her teeth and walked towards the small mound that the big mouse pointed to her.

In the puzzled eyes of everyone, Yue Qiyun dug a large hole in the mound in a few strokes, revealing some yellowed food inside.

"Ah?" Roland stood beside Yue Qiyun with a torch. When he saw the mounds filled with various millet and grains, he couldn't help but exclaim: "Grain, there is food here!"

The soldiers heard Roland's shouts and gathered around the small mound. When they saw the various foods inside, they also made uneven calls.

"This is... the place where mice hide their food!" The experienced soldier suddenly realized, "Why did the princess find this place all at once?"

"When he was traveling with his father and coach on the grassland, he taught me the skills." He could not tell others that he knew the beastly words, so she had to push everything to her father.

"It's just that the food stored by this mouse is limited after all, and it seems that it's only a dozen pounds." The chef who was responsible for cooking squatted down and slapped in the mound for a while, still said with a sad face: "These food, plus the herders gave us, is enough for everyone to have a porridge, hey!"

As he said that, he greeted the other men, brought over a clean iron pot, and carefully scooped out all kinds of grains from the mound.

"Girl, are you just standing next to each other?" After Yue Qiyun took out the rat's food, the big mouse began to worry for Yue Qiyun again: "After today, you guys will still be hungry, so I can't help you!"
