In the early winter, Fugu County ushered in the first snow of the year, on the reckless and vast earth, the snow flew like goose feathers, the cold wind blew like ice blades, and the city was wrapped in silver everywhere outside the city, which was extraordinarily delicate.

On this day, a piece of news suddenly spread from the city: Taiyuan knew that Wu Rouxuan felt the beauty of winter snow, so he decided to hold a snow appreciation party in Liuli Lake, Fengzhou, and invited the four northern states of the nobles, well-known talents, and wealthy businessmen to participate.

Winter Wodong has nothing to do, especially those aristocratic businessmen who seem to be flustered, when they hear that Wu Rouxuan held a grand event, they are naturally very interested and enthusiastically participate.

Wu Rouxuan's invitations have been sent countless times, but the most critical and important one was personally sent to the Governor's Mansion of the Zhenwu Army by her personal maid.

After reading the invitation, a cold smile appeared on the corner of Cui Wenqing's mouth, and he said to Ning Zhen beside him: "It seems that Mingjiao is ready to do something to me." ”

Ning Zhen took the invitation in his hand and read it several times, frowned and said: "Fengzhou Liuli Lake, heh, Mingjiao is really calculating." ”

Cui Wenqing didn't know about this glazed lake, and asked puzzledly: "Why is it so calculating?" Could it be that there is something wrong with this lake? ”

Ning Zhen is in charge of the six doors of secrets all the year round, knows a lot of information, is no stranger to Liuli Lake, sat down and said: "This lake is located in the northeast of Fengzhou, in the desert grassland, known as the bright pearl of the grassland, in the Tang Dynasty in the past, the Tang general Zhang Renyuan had built the east of the city by the lake, but hundreds of years later this city has been with the weakening of the Central Plains Dynasty and decay, reduced to the lakeside broken wall, since the rise of the Liao people swallowed Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures, Liuli Lake has been on the border of Qi and Liao, less than 100 miles to the northeast is the Liao realm. ”

Cui Wenqing slapped his palms and smiled: "Haha, it seems that Lu Ruoxuan is right, the Liao people really want to capture me, otherwise how could they choose such a frontier place?" ”

Ning Zhen nodded, but seeing that Cui Wenqing was not afraid or worried at all, she couldn't help but feel a little angry, and said: "Lord Cui, although Liuli Lake is solid, but the elite cavalry of the Liao people can invade it in half a day, and you just go like this, you are really in danger." ”

Cui Wenqing didn't hear the concern in her tone, thought about it for a while, and said: "Actually, I don't think that the Ming Sect and the Liao people will do anything to me in Liuli Lake. ”

Ning Zhen was stunned and asked, "Why?" ”

Cui Wenqing stroked the Juanxiu text on the invitation with the tip of his finger and said with a smile: "Since so many dignitaries and nobles have been invited to participate in this Yahui, I believe that the Fengzhou government will not take it lightly, and it will definitely be closely protected, and the main general of the Fengzhou Zhenwu Army is Mu Zheng, the father of General Mu Wan. ”

Ning Zhen was also concerned and confused, and when she heard Cui Wenqing's eloquent words, she immediately woke up, nodded and said, "This is also true, but we don't know what their future moves will be." ”

"Since you don't know, then you can only see the move, Ning Guard, it's up to you to prepare." Cui Wenqing stood up and decided to go to the meeting without hesitation.

Ning Zhen knew that this guy was bold, and it was inconvenient to persuade him at the moment, so he hurriedly nodded yes.

Three days later, a convoy of 200 knights of the Zhenwu Army left the east gate of Fugu County and headed northeast along the official road.

It can be seen that there are more than a dozen carriages in the convoy, and the horses pulling the carts are all Yinshan horses, with strong legs and long-lasting cold-resistant, and they are also military horses of the Zhenwu Army without asking.

Except for the first two cars, the rest of the cars were carrying goods covered with snow tarpaulins, and they slowly progressed on the ankle-high official road, leaving deep ruts.

As for the two hundred guard knights, they were led by Cheng Shifei, the deputy general of the Zhenwu Army's personal guard battalion.

The cavalrymen wore black armor and shoulder-tied cloaks, the long swords at their waists were shining, and the horses under their crotches were tall and majestic.

"This Cui Wenqing is really an out-and-out gentleman, and he actually brought so many things with him when he went out for a few days, and he spent his money in vain!"

On the hillside a hundred feet away from the official road, an old man in black silently watched the convoy move for a long time, and finally couldn't help but speak, and the old man's eyes burst out with resentment.

Standing next to the old man was a tall man, he glanced at the old man, and sneered: "What? Does the long history of Zhe still remember the Zhe family? ”

The old man knew the prominent and noble status of the tall man, and hurriedly said: "General Yeli, don't misunderstand, his subordinates are just lamenting Cui Wenqing's sloppy family, and the current Zhe clan has nothing to do with his subordinates." ”

While speaking, the identities of the two were about to come out, and they were naturally the Western Xia general Yeli Sugai and the former chief of the Zhenwu Army.

Hearing Zhen Weiben's words, the tall man smiled: "In the past two years, you have secretly provided a lot of information for Great Xia, but your loyalty is commendable, and the Queen Mother also has a lot of praise for you, if this operation can satisfy the Queen Mother, I believe that the Queen Mother will definitely look down on you." ”

Zhe Wei's heart was warm, and his tone was even more respectful: "The Queen Mother is wise and martial, ruling the country's affairs, and her subordinates have admired the Queen Mother for a long time, but unfortunately it is impossible to see it, since the Queen Mother has entrusted me with this important task, even if my subordinates are broken bones, they will be completed, please rest assured that the general." ”

Yeli Sugai nodded and smiled: "Okay, this time I will hand over the fifty good players in the Mingtang Hall to you, and you must capture Cui Wenqing alive." ”

"No!" Zhi Weiben hurriedly clenched his fists, but his heart was full of joy.

This Mingtang was not created by the Empress Dowager on the basis of the military martial arts, only loyal to the Empress Dowager, and all the masters in the hall were the elites of Western Xia.

After a few days, he will be able to lead the master of Mingtang to capture Cui Wenqing alive, so that he can not only repay the shame of the year, but also be able to blackmail Zhe Zhao, and then the Zhe clan and the Zhenwu army will be able to return to their hands, and it will not be in vain for so many years of Taoguang cultivation.

Thinking of this, Zhi Weiben was even more excited.

The convoy walked slowly along the tactful official road, and two days later crossed the ancient Great Wall and entered the endless Monan grassland.

At this time, Cui Wenqing ordered the convoy to stop, and he couldn't help but get out of the carriage and look at the beautiful scenery around, see the Great Wall stretching like a long dragon lying across the towering mountains, and see the grassland white and endless Yinshan Mountains in the distance.
