The snow in Xinzhou had been falling for three days before it stopped.
Pei Chong had been injured on the battlefield before, and when faced with such severe cold weather, his body was in unbearable pain.
During these three days, he had stayed in Ao Qi's house without stepping outside.
The news had spread everywhere; of course, Pei Chong wasn't unaware.
But he didn't ask, nor did he seek out Pei Jue, and Lady Ao didn't know what he was thinking.
Ao Zheng had come over from Cuiyu early in the morning.
With red eyes from a sleepless night, he immediately asked Lady Ao,
"What on earth is the Great General thinking? We can't drag this on any longer, we must make a decision quickly..."
In last night's deliberations at Cuiyu's palace, Ao Zheng already experienced the feeling of being in a no-win situation.
