Reborn in Liangshan: I built the strongest lineup

Chapter 1347 Danger in the Snow

During the heavy snow season, the days are dark and short; it seems like in the blink of an eye, it will be dark again.

The patrol team had been patrolling all day without finding anything, so it seemed like they were lucky today.

"Let's rest for a bit, then take one more turn around and we can head back to the city today."

Old Wang glanced at the sky and judged based on his experience.

"Going back so early?"

Yue Fei and Yang Zaixing were somewhat surprised, thinking it was still too early.

"It's getting late. The worst thing to do in snowy weather is to be outside after it's completely dark. Although there's no sun now, it's still warm. Once it's completely dark, it'll be bone-chillingly cold, and people could die."

Old Wang said that young people still need to learn more.

"Alright, everyone follow!"

Yue Fei and Yang Zaixing told the others not to fall behind, since most of the patrol team, besides the two of them, were newcomers.

"Qin Hui, are you even capable?"

When Yue Fei reached Qin Hui's side, he stopped to look him over. Qin Hui, who had been stuffed into the patrol team by Sun An, was freezing cold and kept stamping his feet to try to warm himself up.

"I'm fine!"

Qin Hui was actually freezing, but when he saw that it was Yue Fei who came to ask him, he suddenly felt a surge of energy!

We absolutely cannot let this kid look down on us!

So nothing is impossible, and even if something is impossible, it has to work!

"You did very well. It's only the first day. You didn't embarrass yourself."

Seeing Qin Hui's forced composure, Yue Fei, though still harboring some resentment towards Qin Hui, patted Qin Hui's shoulder in acknowledgment.

"You don't need to tell me. I, Qin, am a dignified sixth-place finisher in the imperial examinations. What's a little cold to me? Without enduring the bitter cold, how can the plum blossoms exude their fragrant scent? Let me tell you..."

Qin Hui was also ready to show off, but before he could finish speaking, Yue Fei waved his hand and left.

I was just being polite, and you took it seriously. Are we that close?

"You, you, you're not even human!"

Qin Hui muttered a curse. He really thought Yue Fei had come to show concern for him and even wanted to tell Yue Fei that he now felt the two of them could be ordinary friends.

Now that he sees it, he realizes that Yue Fei wasn't really that sincere in wanting to be his friend! So he might as well not be friends!

"Qin Hui!"

Yang Zaixing suddenly walked over as well, and patted Qin Hui's shoulder forcefully as well!

"Hiss...what are you doing!"

Yang Zaixing was very strong, so his slap made Qin Hui's shoulder ache, causing him to grimace in pain.

"It's nothing, I just wanted to tell you! You didn't complain at all all day, that's great!"

Yang Zaixing imitated Ren Yuan's way of praising people, and gave Qin Hui a thumbs up!

"What do you mean?"

Qin Hui said he didn't understand it.

"The prince often uses this gesture to say that you are great."

After saying this, Yang Zaixing left. Qin Hui was touched, thinking that Yang Zaixing had acknowledged him.

The next instant, Yang Zaixing walked up to the next person and gave that person a thumbs up as well!

"You are very good!"

Qin Hui felt that all his previous emotions had been wasted; he shouldn't have had any expectations of these two people!

"Brother Qin, didn't you come from the south with them? Why do you guys seem to have a bad relationship?"

The other newlyweds noticed what was happening and asked some questions out of curiosity.

"I'm not familiar with either of them."

Qin Hui shook his head decisively; he had no intention of admitting that he knew these two people!

"You two aren't familiar with each other?"

Everyone was surprised. How could this be? Didn't you all come together?

"That's right, we're not familiar with each other!"

Qin Hui said fiercely.

"If we're not familiar with each other, we're not familiar with each other. Why get angry?"

The crowd dispersed, and everyone returned to their respective positions, preparing to head back to the city.

"Wait, everyone, be on alert!"

Just as everyone was fooling around, Old Wang suddenly issued a warning!

"alert?"

Yue Fei and Yang Zaixing were still encouraging everyone when they suddenly heard them tell everyone to be on alert, and the two of them immediately became excited.

"Being on alert" means... there's a battle to be fought?

That's just too...too "bad"!

The two looked at each other, and excitement was evident in each other's eyes.

"Brother Wang, what's wrong?"

Yue Fei hurried back to Old Wang's side and asked.

"A rat is coming."

Old Wang stared intently at the horizon. Although it was all white there, he could vaguely see some white dots moving toward him.

"Revival, a thousand-mile eye."

Yue Fei opened his eyes, trying to see something, but the swirling snow blocked his view. He didn't have the experience of Lao Wang, so he could only rely on external help.

"Take it, take it!"

Yang Zaixing handed the telescope to Yue Fei. Yue Fei took it and looked at it. Sure enough, there were some white dots in the distance moving in this direction. Judging from the number, they were not animals, so they could only be people.

"Those are the Golden Men?"

Yue Fei pointed in that direction and asked.

"It's hard to say. They could be Jurchens, Han Chinese, or Han Chinese from the Jurchen state."

When Old Wang saw the rare object in Yue Fei's hand, he became even more convinced that Yue Fei had someone backing him up.

"Does it make any difference?"

Yue Fei was a little confused. "Brother Wang, are you talking about tongue twisters?"

“Enemy, defector, forced defector, born lackey.”

Old Wang's words were concise and to the point, making Yue Fei understand immediately.

"How could any Han Chinese possibly defect to them?"

"The Liao Dynasty was very oppressive back then, and the Song Dynasty was incompetent, so many Han Chinese fled north to the territory of the Jin Dynasty."

When Lao Wang mentioned these things, his tone revealed a lack of goodwill towards both the Liao and Song dynasties.

"But they can't be considered orphans! They are Han Chinese, their roots are in Han land!"

Yang Zaixing was puzzled.

"The Song dynasty couldn't even reclaim Yan and Yun, so what roots did they have? They had no roots!"

Old Wang chuckled, but his expression remained unchanged.

"But we, Dayi, have taken it back."

Yue Fei patted Old Wang on the shoulder.

"Brother Wang, if they really are the enemy, you'd better watch closely and see if the two of us are up to the task."

"Don't underestimate these Jurchens. Those who can be sent out in this kind of weather are all brave men. You should go back to the city to report the news and ask for help."

Old Wang drew his sword from his waist, signaling to Yue Fei and Yang Zaixing that they could go back.

"Brother Wang, you look down on us?"

Upon hearing that they were to retreat, Yue Fei and Yang Zaixing both shook their heads and drew their swords.

"Brother Wang, how about we have a competition later to see who kills more?"

"That's right, Brother Wang, let's have a competition later!"

"Are you two really capable?"

Old Wang looked at the two eager-to-try individuals, but he was still somewhat worried.

"Fighting on the battlefield in the snow is no joke."

"Brother Wang, don't worry. With the two of us taking action, these golden men are nothing..."
