The snow was sprinkled all night. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

It seems that in the blink of an eye, white renders everything, everything is covered in silver, elegant and fresh, and people can't take their eyes off it.

"Gege ......"

The laughter was like a silver bell, like every ordinary child who would be attracted by white snowflakes, Xiao Ling'er was like a flower butterfly at the moment, running happily in the small courtyard covered with snowflakes in the inn.

Liu Xi, who was holding her arms around her arms, and Tian Xun'er, who was worried that Xiao Ling'er would catch a cold and wanted to carry her into the house, shook their heads, "Let her go play......

Stroking the green silk that was blown away by the wind, Tian Xun'er smiled softly, turned around and went into the house to do her dressing.

Liu Xi was still standing under the eaves, breathing in the cold air that was cool after the snow, but his eyes were fixed on the door of the small courtyard. After talking with King Zhenxi last night, although Liu Xi didn't know what kind of plan King Zhenxi would have, at least he wouldn't embarrass him on the surface.

In this way, other things will be considered later.

It's just that Ma Xiu didn't return overnight, and I don't know if he and the lord of Shurou have said all the love words?

At present, with the attitude of the king of Zhenxi, Liu Xi is quite worried about how many endless lovesickness tribulations Ma Xiu and Shurou County Lord, the two hard-working people, will have in the future.

Thinking of this, Liu Xi couldn't help but sigh deeply, looked up into the distance, the night on the horizon gradually faded, and the golden morning light slipped out of the sky, swaying down, covering the snow on the roof in the distance with layers of dazzling colors.

"Pounce!"

A cold and uncontrollable crisp laugh smashed on Liu Xi's face, pulling him back from his chaotic thoughts.

Not far away, Xiao Ling'er and Liu Xi waved their little hands that were frozen red, and their little faces were full of cheerful smiles, and they were very happy that the snow had hit Liu Xi before.

Seeing the innocent appearance of the little girl, Liu Xi couldn't help but feel happy in her heart, grabbed the thick snow piled up on the handrail beside her, kneaded it into a ball, and threw it towards Xiao Ling'er.

Immediately, two figures in the courtyard, one large and one small, formed a group, and Xiao Ling'er's happy laughter was like a yellow warbler and a kingfisher, echoing non-stop in this dawn.

"Ah, who dares to sneak attack my horse today!"

An exclamation sounded, and the snowball thrown by Xiao Ling'er smashed on Ma Xiu's swaying Qiankun fan, and suddenly spread out the snow between the mountains and rivers of Qiankun.

Seeing Ma Xiu come back, Liu Xi asked Tian Xun'er, who was smiling on the side, to bring the little girl into the house to freshen up, while he stepped forward and looked at it carefully.

The face was a little haggard, but the autumn water between the eyebrows and eyes was still affectionate, obviously after meeting the lord of Shurou last night, Ma Xiu's mood was much better.

Patting the snowflakes on his palms, Liu Xi smiled and said, "Why, don't you stay with the county lord for more time?" ”

Hearing this, Ma Xiu immediately changed his face again, his eyebrows were locked into inverted figures, and he was not afraid of the cold wind of this Layue, and shook the Qiankun fan in his hand with sorrow, "The King of Zhenxi sent someone to escort Princess Lan Jin to Lanling, and Ming'er also went with her." ”

Did the king of Zhenxi let the lord of Shurou enter Beijing?

Liu Xi couldn't help but be shocked, could it be that the king of Zhenxi, who had been guarding Xinyang City for many years, was not fully sure of Liu Han's big attack this time, so he let the county lord of Shurou go to Lanling for refuge?

Thinking of the sharp momentum on King Zhenxi's body, Liu Xi couldn't help but shake his head, maybe he just thought about it too much, and then said to Ma Xiu, "You should propose marriage to King Zhenxi, with your identity, at this time, maybe he will agree." ”

How could Ma Xiu not understand the meaning of Liu Xi's words, when Li Tang was in turmoil, he proposed marriage as the prince of Nanshu, and it was good to make a marriage, for the sake of Li Tang's situation, the king of Zhenxi was very likely to agree.

It's just that, firstly, there is a sense of taking advantage of the fire to rob, and secondly, Ma Xiu does not want Nanshu to get involved in the war for his private affairs, which makes the people miserable.

At the beginning, Ma Xiu left Nanshu because he didn't want to have anything to do with the affairs of the imperial court, and now, naturally, he didn't want to use the power of Shu for his family affairs.

Seeing that Ma Xiu was silent, Liu Xi sighed again and patted him lightly on the shoulder, "That's it, the boat will naturally go straight to the bridge, maybe there is another way." ”

In distress, Ma Xiu only nodded, shook the Qiankun fan in his hand, but closed it in annoyance, looked at the snow falling again in mid-air, and shook his head silently.

After noon, the wind and snow were better than before, outside Xinyang City, the black horse pulling the cart snorted, and the iron hooves slashed a thick layer of snow.

Behind him, the ancient city of Xinyang was rendered by goose feathers and heavy snow, and it seemed peaceful and quiet at the moment, but Liu Xi understood that it would not be long before there would be a sound of killing here, and blood would flow like a river, and unconsciously, this reminded him of Yangqu City, which once resisted the Huns.

It was purgatory on earth, and the people were like ants.

The emperor always wants to open up territory and achieve a hegemony, but how many wives will be separated by such grand wishes?

Extremely complicated emotions surged in his heart, Liu Xi understood that there were some things that he could not change after all, so he could only secretly pray for the people of Xinyang for less disasters.

After a long time, Liu Xi retracted his gaze and said softly with Ma Xiu, "Today, with the king of Zhenxi, everything will be safe and sound." ”

Liu Xi understands that the county lord of Shurou is not in Xinyang City at this moment, but Ma Xiu is still worried, if Xinyang is lost, the king of Zhenxi must have lost his life.

If the king of Zhenxi really died, the delicate county lord Shurou would be sad to lose half of his life.

After Liu Xi boarded the carriage, Ma Xiu took a deep breath, got on the wheel, shrank aside, pulled down the hat on his head, and covered half of his face, "Let's go......"

Xiao Wu, who was sitting on one side, nodded, and then pulled the reins violently, and the two black horses, which had already been ready to attack, immediately spread their hooves and galloped towards the north.

On the riverside, the wind and snow were long, and the king of Zhenxi, dressed in armor, stood like a mountain peak, and the cloak behind him was swaying.

Bright red as blood.

In the distance, the horse's hooves galloped on the snow, and the ground was frosty, but the horse was dragged to a stop outside the king of Zhenxi.

Li Fengge, who was also dressed in armor, threw the reins aside and strode up to the king of Zhenxi, "Father, they're gone." ”

King Zhenxi's eyes stared at the Wujiang River shrouded in heavy snow, and his expression was extremely focused, as if he wanted to see through the movements of the Han army on the other side from the haze.

Seeing that King Zhenxi was silent, Li Fengge naturally stopped making a sound, but just stood quietly to the side, his handsome face was a little more resolute because of the scar on his eyebrows.

Since the palace coup, Li Fengge has learned to speak less, and he understands that the king of Zhenxi has not forgiven him until now, even if he fought desperately, and even almost had his head cut off by someone.

Sometimes, some things, once they go wrong, even if they use their lives to make up for it, it is difficult to return to the past.

Thinking of this, Li Fengge felt a little bitter in his heart.

"If I'm gone, remember, you are the defender of this Xinyang City, the people are here, the city is there."

Listening to this instruction like a last word, Li Fengge's face changed suddenly, "Father Zhen Xinyang repelled countless Han troops, and this time Xinyang Caicheng must also be a Xiongguan, judging their Han army's behavior, it is also sad that my city is one step." ”

As if he hadn't heard what Li Fengge said, King Zhenxi's eyes looked at the sky, as if he was watching the snow falling from the sky, and as if he wanted to see through the sky covered by layers of thick clouds.

"I'm not just going to face the Han army, you'll understand later, if I'm really gone, can you remember what your father just said."

With a deep sigh, King Zhenxi turned around and walked back slowly, "In this way, it can be regarded as not indebted to Datang, but it is going to be bitter Ming'er, I hope he won't see it, and everything will be the same as ......in the past."

Li Fengge really couldn't understand a lot of words, he didn't understand why his father, who had always been brave and invincible, had such words, why he said that it would hurt his sister Li Ming, and he didn't understand why his father had a little jealousy every time he looked up at the sky.

But no matter what, he promised his father to defend Xinyang City, and he would definitely complete this man's promise with death, thinking of this, Li Feng Singer clutched the long sword at his waist tightly, looked at the other side of the river, and his face was full of murderous aura.

The north wind was like a knife cut, blowing people's cheeks painfully, Liu Xi and others who left Xinyang hurried day and night, and finally, a month later, there were less than 100 miles away from Yangqu.

Calculating the time in his heart, he was finally able to rush to Yangqu City before the start of the year, and Liu Xi couldn't help but feel a little more cheerful. Once upon a time, this feeling of returning to his heart was quietly planted in his heart.

It turned out that Yangqu City had become a concern that he couldn't abandon.

In the restaurant where he rested, Ma Xiu sent the miscellaneous disciples who came to report the news, and then sat down at the table and poured a cup of tea.

Everywhere he went, Ma Xiu must first understand the battle situation in Xinyang City, otherwise it must be difficult to sleep.

"Haven't you gone to war yet?"

Xiao Wu asked in a humming voice, and Ma Xiu's face did not increase in sadness, so everyone knew that the two armies were still facing each other.

"Well, not yet, although it is cold at the moment, the ice of the Wujiang River is of different thicknesses, and it must be impossible to prevent a large number of soldiers from walking, even if the soldiers walk over, the horses and siege weapons will not be able to cross the river, so I am afraid that this battle will have to wait until after the beginning of spring."

Shaking the cup in his hand, looking at the ripples of the pale yellow tea, Liu Xi said softly, "I hope that Liu Si is deceitful by nature, and no one can guess his thoughts......

Hearing this, Ma Xiu and the others were silent, just silently drinking tea.

After resting, the carriage set off again, and the distance of a hundred miles took only a day and a half, and it was noon two days later, and the group had already arrived outside the city of Yangqu.

The north is cold, and Yangqu City has long been covered with ice and snow, and under the bright midday sun, it is as exciting as the crystal clear pearl stone.

Back at his hometown, everyone couldn't help but be overjoyed, even Ma Xiu, who had been worried about the war in Xinyang City for several days, smiled on his brows.

Suddenly, the sound of horses' hooves came out of Yangqu City, and after a while, I saw a column of armor soldiers with armor as cold as ice rushing out on a high-headed horse that was also wrapped in armor.

This kind of costume seems to be a bit like the 'water cold' of the king of Zhenxi.

Such a scene suddenly appeared in front of him, and Xiao Wu immediately blocked in front of everyone, and the green steel sword also floated in front of him.

The cold winter sun swept across the sword, reflecting a biting chill.

Liu Xi behind Xiao Wu shook his head and smiled.

These armorers had fires tied to their waists, short crossbows hung from their waists, and the weapons on their horses, although different, were also finely crafted, and the number of them was no more than four out of ten.

So Liu Xi naturally thought of Huyan Qingshi and others.

It's just that the figure of this leader is much smaller than others, and it is obviously not a canal, which makes Liu Xi a little puzzled.

Crash!

Ma Xiu shook off the Qiankun fan, took a few steps forward, and said loudly, "If you don't stop, you have to be careful of this green steel sword......

As soon as these words came out, the armor soldiers who were still imposing before stopped their horses in unison, jumped off their horses, and saluted on half their knees, "I've seen my lord!" ”

The movements are clean and neat, and there has been a lot of progress in the past few months.

Liu Xi nodded secretly, but Xiao Ling'er in his arms had already rushed out and rushed into the arms of the leader just now.

It seems to be very close.

The Xuantie gloves wrapped around the hands quietly retracted into the arms, revealing a pair of white and delicate hands, and then touched the Xuanyue on the cheeks, and the Xuantie mask was inexplicably put aside.

It seems that this armor is from the hand of Lu Ruier of the Mo family.

However, what surprised Liu Xi even more was that the person who led the team turned out to be Wu Shuang'er.

Holding Xiao Ling'er, Wu Shuang'er burst into tears, looking at Liu Xi with a pair of beautiful eyes and affectionate infatuation, her immature face was full of pity and pity.

Although Liu Xi didn't know why Shuang'er had to put on a suit of armor, he also knew in his heart that the little girl must have suffered a lot after he left, so he immediately stepped forward and wiped away Wu Shuang'er's tears very gently, "Little fool, if your face is crying, it's not beautiful." ”

Listening to these soft words, Wu Shuang'er's worries for many days instantly disappeared, and she buried her head in Liu Xi's arms, crying bitterly.

On the top of the city tower, Lin Yi was dressed in green clothes, and his figure was thinner than before, but his eyes were still so bright, like a clear spring hidden in the deep mountains.

"I'm finally back, and now I can be lazy."

Beside him, Lu Rui'er, who was wearing a purple skirt, glared at him quite angrily, "Yangqu City has already been on the right track, where do you need to do everything yourself, if you can listen to my advice, you don't have to work like this." ”

Smiling wryly, Lin Yi picked up the gourd and poured a sip of wine, wearing the same armor as beside him, looking at the rather happy Qu Lang under the city, "Let's go, he Liu Yusheng is back, I have to ask him for wages, now, I can buy wine and drink again." ”

Seeing Lin Yi leave as if he was running away, Lu Ruier couldn't help but stomp on the lotus step resentfully, and also went down the city.
