The night was deep.

The snowflakes slowly drifted bigger and bigger.

The wind that had just subsided came back halfway, sweeping the cold air from the north straight down, and the freshly melted snowflakes on the ground instantly melted and froze into frost.

On the branches, the crunching sound kept coming out, and the ice picks continued to grow and get bigger and bigger.

The fur can no longer bring warmth to people, and Rao is Li Kong's physical fitness is strong enough, but he is still shivering a little from the cold.

"Damn, if it goes on like this, I'll have to freeze to death if I don't have to act!" After a few words, he rolled over and stood up, quickly leaned over the ground, and began to do push-ups at a very fast speed, arousing the heat energy in his body to resist the cold from outside.

I don't know how long it took, the soldiers outside the Turkic camp finally couldn't bear the cold, and began to lean against each other, desperately adding firewood to the bonfire, but the snow was falling, and the dry firewood they had prepared on the ground had already become wet, even if it was just an outer layer, it was enough to make the temperature of the bonfire drop.

The smoke was billowing and spreading in all directions under the raging wind, and the pungent smell choked the tears of the Turkic soldiers gathered around the fire, but when they left the fire, they were about to undergo the test of the bitter cold, and they were more inclined to be killed by the heat of the fire than to freeze to death.

So they gave up their move away from the fire, tore some of their scarce clothes off their mouths and noses, and then closed their eyes and waited for the dawn to come.

……

Jingyang City, the city guard.

Li Shimin stood at the door wrapped in a thick mink, and behind him, Li Tao and a group of high-ranking generals followed closely, and hundreds of Xuanjia soldiers stood around them to prevent the invasion of the assassins.

"In such a cold weather, the clouds and wind are ......" Li Shimin opened his mouth, and a large breath of cold air swept in, directly blocking his words.

Li Tao is also related, after all, it is his son, this kind of ghost weather, standing here is freezing to death, not to mention Li Kong in the wilderness?

At this moment, a fast horse in the distance approached quickly, and then a Xuanjia guard jumped off the horse, lying on the ground stiffly, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, no trace of Li Kong has been found......

After saying this, this Xuanjia guard suddenly died, and he didn't even have time to breathe.

A Xuanjia guard quickly ran over, trying to help his colleague up, but when he touched the already cold body, the whole person was shocked, and he turned around and said, "Your Majesty, he went!" ”

Li Shimin was stunned for a moment, and the rest of the people were even more shocked, you know, the equipment of the Xuanjiawei is the highest among all the Tang Army, although not to mention the warmth of fur, but compared to the cold, they are not much weaker, but that's it, they were frozen to death?

However, Li Tao's eyes lit up and said, "Your Majesty, this is a God-given opportunity......

Li Shimin is the emperor of the horse, since the age of fourteen, he has fought in the world, experienced hundreds of large and small battles, including countless battles with the Turks.

The others were all old men who followed Li Shimin, so after Li Tao's words fell, they understood the meaning of Li Tao's words at the same time.

I have to say that Li Shimin's heart is moved, he is a strong emperor, and he has never done anything wrong with a sword before, and this time is naturally no exception, after all, this kind of weather is definitely the biggest murderous aura for them, and it is also their biggest advantage.

But just when Li Shimin was about to speak, Li Jing suddenly said: "Let's wait, after all, this is just our speculation, there is no specific basis, the Turks live in the Saibei grassland all the year round, and their ability to withstand the cold is much stronger than ours, although it is cold now, as long as they can exert fifty percent of their combat power, we have to pay an unimaginable price, so I think it is best to wait until tomorrow morning." ”

Although he was a little unwilling, Li Shimin finally agreed to Li Jing's suggestion, anyway, it was not bad for this night.

"Pass the order, all the soldiers defending the city will rest in place to recuperate, and the rest will light a bonfire in the city to keep warm!" After saying this, Li Shimin turned around and went back to the room.

Li Jing received the order and began to convey Li Shimin's order, while the rest of the people went back to their rooms to rest.

Only Li Tao was still standing at the door, looking at the sky in the north, and said in a low voice: "Yunfeng, are you okay?" ”

At this time, Li Kong, who was worried about Li Tao and others, had just finished doing a thousand push-ups, his whole body was steaming, and the cold had long been far away, but at the same time, there was also a sense of exhaustion, after all, it was difficult for a thousand push-ups to be done in one breath even if it was a soldier king in the new century.

However, although he was tired, he never left behind the observation of the Turkic camp, and at this moment the Turkic camp was almost silent, and even the war horses were huddled not far from the fire one by one, trying to keep them alive by the residual heat of the fire.

As for the Turkic soldiers, they had already fallen into a deep sleep, and the snowflakes fell on them, turning them into white sculptures.

But the snow melted rapidly under the smoke of the firelight, turning into ice water and invading the Turkic soldiers' bodies, and the biting cold caused the soldiers to quickly lose their body temperature.

Seeing this, Li Kong's eyelids jumped, and he quickly leaned over and lay on the ground, touching the cold snowflakes and quickly approaching in the direction of the camp.

At this moment, a Turkic soldier trembled, stood up suddenly, and then ran in the direction of Li Kong while unzipping his pants.

A steaming liquid landed in front of Li Kong, looking at the Turkic soldier in front of him, a trace of murderous intent flashed in Li Kong's eyes, and then suddenly burst out at the moment when the other party finished urinating, one hand tightly covered the opponent's mouth and nose, and the other hand swung out a short blade, directly cutting the opponent's neck.

Then he put the corpse away, grabbing the snow from the ground and placing it on the other person's neck, preventing the blood from the corpse from infecting the clothes.

After a few minutes, he quickly unbuttoned the other party's clothes and changed them to his own body, and finally pinned a scimitar to his waist, smiled, and spat out a fluent Turkic language.

After taking a small white bottle from his original clothes and placing it on his body, and after checking to make sure nothing was missing, he folded all his own clothes, put them under a large tree, and walked quickly in the direction of the camp.

"It's snowing at night, it's time to kill, Tuli? Jieli? The future Tang Dynasty prince? Phew! Li Kong scolded secretly and quietly returned to his original position.

The footsteps did not stop, and continued to walk quickly in the direction of the big tent in front of him.

Suddenly, a man who looked like a general appeared in front of him and scolded: "What part are you from, what are you doing here without resting?" ”

Li Kong was stunned for a moment, and then said with an anxious face: "General Hui, the villain is from the Tuoba clan, because the weather is cold, several people are about to freeze to death, so I specially came to tell the Great Khan, we can't stay up like this anymore." ”

In the end, there was even a trace of sparkle in Li Kong's eyes, no way, cold, these Turks wore too few clothes!
