The winter solstice is basically at the beginning of the winter month, and the Western Xia people take the winter solstice as the first year. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The winter moon is the November of the lunar calendar.

Li Liangfu set out after the festival in Xingqing Mansion.

Although the winter solstice is the beginning of the year in the eyes of the Tangut people, more often, most of the Tangut people, after celebrating the winter solstice, will choose to lie dormant on the coldest days behind, try to go out as much as possible, and wait for the arrival of spring.

Only this time, because of the poor recent situation of the ally Liao State, he was defeated and retreated by the Jin State, and now, even Emperor Tianzuo is forced to retreat to Xijing Datong Mansion.

As an ally of Liao, the Western Xia Emperor Li Qianshun sent the general Li Liangfu very righteously to support Emperor Tianzuo.

Under the name of Li Qianshun's benevolence and righteousness, these Western Xia soldiers were full of complaints.

It has been half a month since the expedition from Xingqing Mansion to the camp opposite Fuzhou City.

On ordinary days, the generals of Western Xia could also hunt around on horseback and loot the surrounding villages and towns.

Now there is heavy snow all over the ground, and Fuzhou City is resolutely defending, and the surrounding villages and towns have long been inhabited by many people.

Having lost the harvest and pleasure of looting, the soldiers of Western Xia could only stay in the barracks every day.

Every time the squad on duty went out to patrol the camp, the patrol squad would carry a wine bag on their backs and ride out on horseback with a stomach full of complaints and resentment.

The leader who led the team on patrol was from a large party clan to the Li clan.

Although the bloodline and rank are not high, in the Western Xia army, which has a strict status and hierarchy, there is still some power available.

Not far from the camp gate, the little leader cursed loudly at Li Yanze.

"When will this day be over? If you want to call Lao Tzu, you would have led people to rush to Fuzhou City and find the little lady of the Great Song Dynasty to drink! ”

A cavalry subordinate who followed alongside handed over a wine bag with a very eye-catching look, and smiled, "Leader Xiangli, how about we go the same way?" ”

Xiang Li Yan knew in his heart that what his subordinates said was to go to a nearby town and find the village prostitute who lived in the town to have a good time.

Although the village prostitute in the nearby town has long been devoid of appearance, it is a rare blessing for Xiang Liyan, who is in the military camp.

Out of the Xixia military camp, all the way to the west thirteen miles, is a defeated town.

Originally, there were not many households in the town, because in the early days, it was located next to the post road at the junction of Western Xia and the Great Song Dynasty, so there were these 100 households.

Now that the Great Song Dynasty and the Western Xia are at loggerheads, the town has been abandoned.

Originally, there were no aborigines in the town, so those who walked and fled escaped, and the remaining few families were either fugitives who had committed crimes, or like the village prostitutes, doing some shady livelihoods.

Xiang Liyanze's patrol team has a total of ten people, and according to the practice of patrolling in the past, Xiang Liyan will go to the village prostitute first, and after Xiang Liyanze has enjoyed it, it is the time for his subordinates to enjoy the village prostitute.

As soon as he arrived in the town, Xiang Li Yan rushed into the alley and pushed open the door of the village prostitute.

The village prostitute had already calculated his life, and he took the money left by Li Yan in the past, exchanged it for some wine and food, and waited for a long time.

Xiang Liyan came out today, and I felt like I couldn't say it, and I always felt a little empty in my heart.

So this time, Xiang Liyan did not eat this wine and food, but went up directly, which was a ruin to the village prostitute.

The village prostitute seems to be accustomed to this kind of behavior of the Li Yanze, allowing the other party to come nonsense, and even cooperating in various ways.

After the passion faded, he snorted, "You haven't had anyone else here, have you?" ”

The female village prostitute pretended to be angry, "General Xiangli, what you said, this place is remote, where will other people come?" ”

Although the village prostitute said so, Xiang Liyan was still a little unsure.

After deciding to let the brothers finish as soon as possible, hurry back to resume their lives.

Thinking in his heart, he ignored the village prostitute who didn't even wear clothes on the kang, and pushed the door out of the house directly.

But as soon as he got out of the house, Xiang Li Yanze's body shook violently, and the muscles of his whole body tensed instantly, and he reached out and touched the waist knife on his waist.

A faint smell of blood, wafting through the snow, was clear and fresh. I can even feel the heat brought out by the smell of blood in this cold air.

Xiang Liyan didn't even have to think about it, he could guess that his subordinates had an accident.

But when Xiang Li Yanze's hand hadn't touched the waist knife, he felt a slight chill on the back of his neck, and a very soft voice sounded in his ears, "Don't move!" ”

The man quickly removed the waist knife of Xiang Li Yanze, and all the objects on his body that could be used as weapons, and with the help of his partner, he tied the Xiang Li Yan Ze firmly and pushed him back into the house again.

By this time, the village prostitute had already dressed and had been sent out.

The thin man who was forcing Li Yanze with a knife just now sat at the table, picked up a piece of square meat on the plate with a smile, and stuffed it into his mouth.

"General Xiangli, I was so careful that I didn't even eat wine and meat, now I'll show you, we didn't poison these good things!"

Xiang Liyan twisted his neck, stared at the thin man, and asked viciously, "Who are you?" ”

The thin man hehe, "I can fight against you, except for the Zhejia army in Fuzhou City, can you think of other people?" ”

Xiang Liyan looked incredulous.

The thin man didn't care about Xiang Li Yanze's appearance, turned his head and said to a subordinate next to him who was similar to him, "See, even the little leader of Western Xia knows that our Fold Army will not easily get out of Fuzhou City!" ”

In addition, the man nodded for a while, "It seems that Lord Qian is still like a god, so he knows that these guys have long been slack, and of course, the careful arrangement of Commander Hou is indispensable!" ”

The thin man who arrested this good man was the Hou Chuan who was selected by Qian Heng to be a scout.

At this time, Hou Chuan's speculation about Qian Heng in his heart was also so admired that he didn't expect that just by guarding the door of a village prostitute, he could catch the leader of a patrol team so easily.

"Who are you talking about?"

Obviously, Xiang Liyan was also a little puzzled, he listened to Hou Chuan's conversation just now, and knew that all this was arranged by a person called Master Qian. According to Xiang Liyan, there are no adults surnamed Qian in the Zhejia army in this Fuzhou City.

Seeing that Xiang Li Yan actually had the heart to inquire about Lord Qian, Hou Chuan was not only nervous, but laughed, "General Xiang Li don't worry, even if you don't ask, our family Lord Qian will come to see you soon!" ”

After Hou Chuan finished speaking, he drank the wine in the cup in one gulp before instructing, "Let the brothers clean up the outside first, don't leave any blood stains, and save the mood of Lord Qian in your arms!" ”

After Hou Chuan finished speaking, he asked his subordinate to stay in the room to guard Xiang Li Yanze, and he ran to the entrance of the town to welcome Qian Heng's arrival.
