In the sky above Xingqing Mansion, since the Song army entered the master, the sky above the head is gray, the biting cold wind is particularly cold this year, as the Song army's leaf flag is above the palace, the city wall is waving in the wind, if there are no snowflakes began to slowly fall from the sky.

The cold snowflakes melted instantly when they fell on their cheeks, and the feeling of dampness and coolness made people's minds clearer in an instant, and the summer king city ...... Perished.

The streets and alleys are no different from those on weekdays, but I don't know if it's because of the imminent death of the Xia Kingdom, or because the sky is starting to fall with snowflakes, in short, Xingqing Mansion still looks a little lifeless, just like the period when Li An'an and Li Chunyou competed for the throne some time ago.

On the day Li Chunyou led his troops into the palace, it is said that Li An'an cut off his head with his own hands, and then hung it at the palace gate to show the ministers, but now, there is no longer Li Chunyou's dry head at the palace gate, but the banner of the Song army is waving in the wind.

Li An'an under the palace gate felt like he was dreaming, a few days ago he was still the emperor who ascended the throne of Xia and was about to reign over the world, but now in the blink of an eye, he has changed from an emperor who reigns over the world to a prisoner of the Song people.

The palace has become the Xingqing Mansion of the Song Dynasty, Li Heng has become the pacification envoy of the Xingqing Mansion, and he Li An'an is now going to the palace, no, it is the Song Xingqing Mansion Administration to accept the title of Marquis of Xingqing.

Scattered snowflakes mixed with the cold northwest wind, passing through the palace gate, Li An'an, who had changed into a Song court uniform, stood at the gate of the palace, his clothes were messy and disorderly with the wind, and the mood at this time was also cold and messy.

A group of patrolling Song soldiers passed in front of him, but no one saluted him, and they didn't even have the interest to look at him.

Su Dao, who was also dressed in the Song Dynasty uniform, followed behind Li An'an, his face was blown red by the cold northwest wind, and scattered snowflakes occasionally fell on his face, and the feeling of dampness and coldness made Su Dao a little dazed.

Originally, it should be in the palace hall full of civil and military ministers on both sides, at this moment Li Heng is sitting upright on the throne that Li An'an has coveted for a long time, and there are just a few officials in the hall who are reporting something to him, Li An'an and Su Dao, after being brought in, have been standing next to them, waiting for Li Heng, who has been dealing with government affairs, looking at the two of them.

Originally, the people who were most familiar with everything in this hall should be Li An'an and Su Dao, but today, all the grass and trees in the palace seemed to have been replaced overnight, and they all became so strange and cold.

"Lord Ye plans to bury Li Chunyou and the others, I don't know what Xingqinghou means?" Li Heng whispered a few words to the official next to him, and then patted the armrest of the dragon chair, slowly walked to Li An'an and Su Dao and asked with a smile.

"It's all up to Lord Ye to decide." Li An'an and Su Dao saluted Li Heng, and then said respectfully.

I have to say that Ye Qinghou's move to bury Li Chunyou, who was cut off by his Li An'an, can indeed appease most of the Xia people in Xingqing Mansion, of course, what must be sacrificed is his Li An'an's interests and reputation.

Therefore, for the sake of his own life, and in order not to be offended by the remnants of the clan and nobles in Xingqing Mansion that he had offended a while ago, he had to accept Ye Qing's suggestion of the marquis, not the prince.

"So in that case, this

Thing...... How about leaving it to General Su with full authority? Li Heng looked at Li An'an and smiled slightly, then looked at Su Dao and asked.

Su Dao obviously didn't expect that the Song people were going to leave the matter of Li Chunyou's burial to themselves, so after listening to Li Heng's words, he hurriedly glanced at Li An'an on the side from the corner of his eye.

The Song people are sowing discord, now whether it is the Song people or the Xia Kingdom legacy clans, nobles, etc., or even the people of Xingqing Mansion, who doesn't know that he is Li An'an's biggest henchman?

Since seizing the throne, Li An'an ignored the prevention of Hot Gongji, and finally not only cut off Li Chunyou's head and hung it at the palace gate, but even Hot Gongji, the biggest contributor to helping Li An'an seize the throne, was also killed by Li An'an without hesitation.

The Song people's attack on Xingqing Mansion came so quickly like retribution, and Su Dao still remembered that before the head of the hot Gongji people hit the ground, he scolded Li An'an for being ungrateful and cursed Li An'an for retribution.

It's just that Su Dao didn't expect that retribution would come so quickly, and only three days after the head of the hot Gongji people landed, the Song army began a real attack on Xingqing Mansion.

Li An'an next to him had always been expressionless, and Su Dao, who was worried in his heart, obviously did not dare to disobey the order of Li Heng of the Song Dynasty at this time, so he had no choice but to ask: "Dare to ask General Li, I don't know what kind of ceremony is used to bury the thick burial that Lord Ye is referring to?" Xia Guan didn't dare to rashly figure out Lord Ye's thoughts, so he also asked Lord Li to make it clear. ”

"Naturally, it was the royal ceremony of the Xia Kingdom in the past to bury ......." Li Heng looked at Li An'an, whose face was becoming more and more pale, and said lightly.

Wu Lian at the door rushed in like a gust of wind, interrupting Li Heng's conversation with Su Dao, looking at the two people wearing Song court clothes with some curiosity, and then looking at Li Heng and nodding, he said: "The north is full of wind and snow, and the Mongols are obviously unlikely to reach the city for a while, and ...... According to the fact that we are now nearly a hundred miles away, the spies sent by the lower officials reported that the Mongols did not seem to have any intention of continuing southward to Xingqing Province. ”

"It's better to be careful, the Mongols come and go like the wind, and they are elusive, tell Jia She, don't be careless." Li Heng, who was originally relaxed, did not relax his vigilance because of the snow, on the contrary, his expression at this moment was much more dignified than just now.

Now he is guarding in Xingqing Mansion, there are only Li Zhongfang and Jia She, and only Jia Shi has dealt with the Mongols, plus Xingqing Mansion has a lot of things to deal with now, the remaining officials of the Xia Kingdom, the royal family, the wealthy nobles, etc., are obviously not very quick to accept their fate and keep to themselves, so the entire Xingqing Mansion seems to have been held in his hands, but it is not reliable, Li Heng has no bottom in his heart.

Li Heng's mood was exactly as heavy as the mood of Mo Xiaobao, Zhong Silkworm, and Tian Lin, who finally captured Xiping Mansion before the heavy snow came.

Standing on the dilapidated city wall of Xiping Mansion, the whole world is now white, and the world covered in silver looks beautiful, but Mo Xiaobao's mood is not beautiful at all.

Different from conquering other cities, after entering the city, you can easily suppress the people and the Xia army, perhaps because Xiping Mansion is the last city of the Xia people, so the Xia people are not only extremely tenacious and brave when defending the city, but even after they have attacked Xiping City, the Xia people still did not give up resistance.

Whether it was the remnants of the Xia army or the people in Xiping City, the actions of hating the same enemy completely exceeded the expectations of Mo Xiaobao and others, that is, even Liu Keshi, who has always been good at pacifying, did not expect that Xiping City, which was broken by them, would still have such a strong, resolute, and death-defying combat effectiveness.

Naturally, in this case, Mo Xiaobao, Zhong Silkworm, and Tian Lin, who had become a little hesitant because of whether to slaughter the city or not, had been hesitating about whether to slaughter the city before Liu Keshi found them.

The appearance of Liu Keshi helped the three of them make up their minds...... Slaughter the city!

The three-day slaughter of the city made the snowflakes in Xiping City seem to have a touch of bright red, and it also made the hearts of Mo Xiaobao and the three of them extremely heavy, and they didn't know how to report it to Ye Qing, who was still in Yanzhou.

Liu Keshi panted and climbed the city wall, looking at Mo Xiaobao who was covered in snowflakes, with white heat in his mouth, and said anxiously: "I have searched all over the city, and there are no Liao people related to Princess Chengli." I have personally asked all the Liao people in the city, and they don't know where Princess Chengli is now. ”

Mo Xiaobao shook the snowflakes on his body, looked at the direction leading to Kedun City, and frowned: "Maybe Princess Chengli didn't leave Liaowang City at all, I have sent people to look for every city we captured along the way, and there is no one who matches Princess Chengli or Yelu Yixue at all." ”

"Then should we continue westward, in case we can find it, or if we happen to pick up Princess Chengli?" Liu Keshi stretched out his hand and pointed in the direction of Kedun City and said.

"No way. The scouts reported that there was an army of Mongols only more than 30 miles out of the city, but the city of Dun has now been broken by the Mongols, obviously to prevent us from communicating with the Liao. And...... You have also seen our casualties and losses in this battle, and now it is extremely laborious to be able to hold on and pacify Xiping Mansion, if you continue to conflict with the Mongols at this time, I am afraid that Lord Ye will take off your head and me as soon as possible. Mo Xiaobao couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly.

"Yes...... Then see for yourself, this is Madame's secret letter, which has just arrived, otherwise I wouldn't have urged you so much. Liu Keshi had no choice but to hand the letter that Bai Chun had just sent to Mo Xiaobao.

"I know that Madame wants us to find Princess Chengli and escort her safely to Jingzhao Mansion, but ...... Now there is a vast expanse between the heavens and the earth, and there is a steppe desert Gobi outside, which is bigger than the entire Xia Kingdom, and there are still Mongolians who are always on guard against us. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a needle in a haystack. Mo Xiaobao said with a big head.

Now the territory is completely different from Jingzhaofu and other places, here borders with Liao, out of Xiping Mansion, is the desert, grassland, Gobi, as if a single side of the world is as vast as the world, want to walk in this for three days, I am afraid it is difficult to meet a city and a town, search for a few people, this is completely impossible.

"Then you can't just wait stupidly and do nothing, right?" Liu Keshi's weak legs weakened, and he slowly squatted in the snow against the city wall.

He traveled all the way, in addition to dealing with the pacification of these cities, he was carrying the burden of finding and responding to the princess Chengli of the Liao Kingdom, but now he ...... The whole world is white, and the snowflakes falling from the top of the head have no intention of stopping, in such a difficult environment, if you want to find someone, Liu Keshi couldn't help but sigh, and simply sat directly in the snow.
