The official sent to Qingcheng by the imperial court was a member of the Ministry of Rites.

In addition to a few Jinyiwei, there were also a team of officers and soldiers sent by the General of Xuanfu to them.

Such a group of people of 20 or 30 came out of Xuanfu and rushed straight towards Qingcheng.

Although it was not yet winter, the first time I saw the cold on the grassland, I had to wear a fur coat on my body at night, otherwise I would easily be awakened by the cold when I sleep at night.

"Sir, do you want to come out to roast the fire? This will make it warmer." A Jinyiwei Baihu came to ask the headman who led the team to come out to roast the fire.

In the tent, the man Wailang wrapped his jacket and said, "You bake it, I am going to rest."

There was only a pile of fire outside the tent, surrounded by Jinyiwei and officers and soldiers sent by Xuanfu. He was a member of the Ministry of Rites, and sat with these military men to cook the fire. It was really shameless.

So even if the tent is not too warm, I would rather stay in the tent.

After a while, the aroma of barbecue drifted in from outside, while the aroma of wine was mixed inside.

The outside of the tent was already lively, and the Jinyiwei and the officers and soldiers sat together to eat, drink, rock-scissors, laugh and scold, and noisy sounds kept coming into the tent.

Yuanwailang closed his eyes and wanted to sleep, but the noise that came into his ears could not calm down. At the same time, the aroma of wine outside also aroused his greed.

On such a cold night, if you drink a few sips of wine, your body will be much warmer.

After holding it for a while, he finally couldn't help it and walked out of the tent in a fur coat.

"Sir, do you want to drink a sip of wine? This is sorghum brew from the tiger flag. Take a sip when it's cold and warm it from head to soles." A sharp-eyed man saw Yuanwailang walking out and hurriedly handed the wine pot in his hand.

Yuanwailang licked his lower lip with his tongue, and said calmly: "Whoever asked you to drink is drunk? You are drunk. If you encounter an enemy attack, how can you still face the enemy?"

"What the adults taught is that it was the villain's fault. Seeing that the weather was too cold, the villain couldn't help but take out a few sips for everyone, but the villain promised that he would only drink a few sips and would never dare to drink too much." The man who handed the wine pot admitted his mistake and promised.

Yuanwailang nodded and said, "This is only once, and you are not allowed to commit it again in the future. Otherwise, if you return to Xuanfu, I will let General Wang punish you."

The one who handed the wine pot was a general from Xuanfu, who was ordered to escort the Yuanwai Lang to Qingcheng.

Yuanwailang looked at the wine pot in the other party's hand and asked, "Is the wine in your hand sure it is sorghum brewed with the tiger flag?"

There is more than one sorghum brew. In addition to the sorghum brew with the tiger flag, there is another sorghum brew. However, the latter sorghum brew is bitter and hard to drink. It will take a long time to finish a bowl of it. Only coolies who can't afford to drink a bowl of wine are willing to spend a penny or two to drink.

"Don't worry, this wine was bought specifically from the shop of the Tiger Flag before leaving Xuanfu. It was definitely real sorghum brew." The hand always patted his chest and promised.

Because the sorghum brew with the tiger flag is delicious and strong enough, it is not easy to get ahead. It has become an authentic sorghum brew. On the contrary, the sorghum brew that appeared first has become an inauthentic sorghum brew.

"Take it over and give it to me to taste." Yuanwailang reached out to receive the wine pot.

He had heard of the name of sorghum brew in the capital, but he thought that the delicious sorghum brew was just a bitter and unpalatable wine, so he had never bought it, let alone drink it.

If it weren't for the fact that it was a little cold tonight, he wouldn't have drunk it.

He handed the wine pot over with both hands.

The man who took the wine pot smelled it and found that it was indeed not the sorghum brew that was sold to cool on the street.

He wiped the spout with his cuffs and put it beside his mouth and took a sip.

After drinking a sip of wine, I felt a fire ray from my throat to my stomach, and the chill on my body seemed to be driven away a lot.

"Good wine." Yuanwailang couldn't help but praise.

The first time he had drunk this strong sorghum brew, and it was so fragrant that he didn't have the feeling of burning heads like ordinary sorghum brew.

"Adults are used to drinking, and there is a pot here for the younger ones." He took off a wine bag from his waist.

Yuanwailang waved his hand and said, "No need, this pot is enough. I am not a pampered person. I drink wine just to keep warm. Don't drink too much, delay the serious business. Be careful that I will punish you for your sins."

"Don't worry, sir, the younger ones will never dare to delay the serious business." The President knew that he would no longer object to their drinking.

The scene became lively again, and wine pots were taken out. In addition to sorghum brew, there were some other wines.

The Yuanwailang did not rush into the tent, but stood outside the tent and slowly drank the wine from the wine pot.

The smart man handed him a piece of barbecue for wine.

After drinking for a while, Yuanwailang asked the President who was beside him and said, "How long will it take to get to Qingcheng from here?"

"If you have horses to carry, you can arrive in about ten days." said Mr. Zhang.

Although Yuanwailang is a civil servant, after gaining fame, scholars need to promote their reputation in order to better pass the imperial examination. They usually visit book friends or attend various gatherings, so many scholars will ride horses or donkeys.

"It will take so long!" Yuanwailang frowned.

He had just come to the grassland for a few nights and was almost unable to stand it. It was really that the night on the grassland was much colder than in the capital.

The president said with a smile: "Sir, you are enduring it. When you arrive in Qingcheng, you will need a few fur items from King Shunyi to wear it, and it will not be cold."

"Hmph, I am not a person who wants to enjoy himself." Yuanwailang shook his sleeves.

He slapped the horse's legs when he saw him flatteringly, raised his right hand and gently twitched his right cheek, and said, "It's the young man who said it wrong, so naturally he won't be greedy for that little thing."

"Okay, okay, don't pretend to be in front of me. You Qiu Ba are all naughty." Yuanwailang said impatiently.

Civil officials even look down on military generals, let alone these ordinary military men.

The high-ranking official from the capital who always knew that his identity could not reach the level of the person in front of him, then smiled and retreated aside.

"By the way." Yuanwailang called out to the general manager and asked, "I saw a Dunbao in the distance during the day. Why didn't I go to the fort tonight to spend the night?"

"This!" He showed hesitation.

Yuanwailang's face darkened and he said coldly: "What? I am responsible for the emperor's order. Could it be that I can't even enter a fort under your Xuanfu?"

"It's not that the young man did not bring the adults over. It's really the Dunbao I saw during the day that was not under the rule of Xuanfu, and that place belongs to the territory of the Mongols." Zhang Yuan said with a bitter face.

Yuanwailang frowned and asked, "So that Dunbao was built by the Mongols?"
