"Xiao Zhan, you're crazy! Niang! Wei! Cheng Ying was ashamed and angry, but she felt the man stagnate.

There was a sudden dead silence in the room.

Because what caught Xiao Zhan's eye at this moment was the woman's snow-white neck, a few red marks, which were particularly bright and dazzling.

Cheng Yingyu couldn't see Xiao Zhan's expression, and he didn't know what was happening, but suddenly he felt that the man began to tremble, and the temperature that was still hot just now dropped, and finally fell into an ice cellar.

There was a long period of condensation, and the north wind in December leaked in through the cracks in the window, whistling and blowing, blowing the hearts of both people as cold as frost and snow.

The hoarse male voice sounded in his ears, gentle, confused, like in a dream: "...... Little girl, I heard that the six flowers like humidity and heat, so Lingnan is the most prosperous...... When it's all over, I'll show you ......."

Then Cheng Yingyu felt oppressed, and when she came back to her senses, Xiao Zhan had already gotten up, opened the door with a bang, and walked into the snowy night.

Unexpectedly, outside the door, the two of them, Yin Niang and Rong Wei, copied the scissors and held the knife, and were about to break into the house, and when they saw him come out at this moment, they were like facing a great enemy, and the sharp blade flashed cold light in the snow.

"Liangjiazi, are you okay?" The two shouted into the house, Cheng Yingyu immediately responded, went out in a cloak, stood behind Xiao Zhan, and nodded comfortingly at Xiao Niang and Rong Wei.

Xiao Zhan glanced at a few people deeply, didn't say anything, and suddenly walked towards the door, and was stopped by Cheng Ying's shouting.

"Jixiangpu is your home, where are you going?"

"People's hearts have changed, what is the use of home."

Xiao Zhan smiled self-deprecatingly, and was about to walk towards the gate again, but Yun Niang rushed to him, with an extra food box in her hand, and handed it to him tremblingly.

Cheng Yingbu was a little nervous, Rong Wei secretly lifted the knife, Xiao Zhan was silent for a long time, then took it and opened it, and there was a bowl of porridge with hot water in the box.

Laba porridge.

"It's the New Year, Laba porridge left a bowl for His Royal Highness, you, you...... Try. The girl trembled in her tone, and big tears rolled down.

She is Xiao Zhan's biological mother, the queen of Yanqing Dou's family, a slave born in the family, watched the man grow up, watched him go from toddler to today, after Dou's death, she also raised him for a while, teaching him hand in hand, a manly husband, don't cry.

Xiao Zhan's face was also different, but he seemed to think of something, and his eyes swept through the determination, he raised his hand solemnly, threw the food box on the snow, and the porridge turned out and dripped.

Cheng Ying's eyes were red, and he was ruthless with difficulty: "In the name of Empress Minde, Xiao Zhan, if you go out of this door tonight, you will wait with me...... Cut it in two. ”

Yun Niang couldn't help crying, Rong Wei hurriedly supported her, and she didn't overdo it, she couldn't bear to watch the next scene.

Xiao Zhan took a deep breath, his hands hanging on the sides of his coat clenched into fists, trembling, and then he took another step, and his figure disappeared into the wind and snow outside the door.

There were two lines of blood on the snow behind him, coming from the pierced palm and from the heart.

year, here it is.

years, and again, passed.

When the ice and snow melted, the plum blossoms withered, and the spring sun broke the thawing stream, none of the people in the Western Zhou Dynasty smiled.

Although there was a spring drought, because of the signs, Shengjing prepared grain in advance and opened an official warehouse, so it did not have much impact on the days of the Western Zhou Dynasty.

On the second day of February, the dragon raised his head, and when the grain truck escorted by Qian Wei in Jiangnan arrived near Yumen Pass, he was robbed by a group of people from nowhere.

Dozens of carts of grain particles are gone, you must know that these are all life-saving food sent to the Western Regions by the Western Zhou Dynasty, to save the hunger of the spring and drought season, to save the disaster of a country, hundreds of thousands of people in the Ashina royal court of the Western Regions starved to death countless times, and the corpses were all over the field.

It's going to be a big deal.

The blood account of life and death was counted in the brains of the Western Zhou Dynasty, and the hearts of the people of the Western Regions changed, and the frontier was unstable and ready to move.

March, the spring equinox, the spring is miserable, and the spring is bleak.

On the grounds that the Khan king Ashinakui "governed the country unfavorably and the people were miserable", Galmo in the Western Regions took advantage of the east wind of the people's turmoil to launch a forced palace to seize power, control the royal court, and establish himself as Khan, and at the same time overthrew the Yumen Alliance, and began to raise troops to invade the border of the two countries.

"History of the Western Zhou Dynasty" contains: "In the spring of the fifth year of Emperor Wu, the grain cart from the north of the Western Zhou Dynasty was robbed, the Western Regions suffered from drought, and the national foundation was unstable. On this ground, Galmosheh overthrew the Ashina royal court, abolished the alliance of the Jade Gate, and established himself as Khan, known as the Pseudo Khan. In March of the same year, the attack on Zhou. ”

The new year is destined to be an unavoidable chapter in the history books of later generations, a nightmare for every person of the Western Zhou Dynasty, and a turning point in the fate and choices of countless people.

The beacon burned, and the war began.

Shengjing, Imperial Palace.

Zhao Xixing threw the fold on the gold brick floor fiercely, smashing it with a muffled sound, so frightened that the officials in the hall trembled, and the timid hot sweat soaked the official robes.

"Why did you suddenly raise troops to commit a crime? Even if the grain cart is hijacked in the spring drought, it is necessary to first revise the national letter, ask the reason, and then send an envoy to discuss remedial measures, or even relocate the people into the customs. Zhao Xixing gritted his teeth, "Walking down like this, can't you find a way to save it?" It's a shame that he Garmo is in such a hurry, and he will go to war directly?! ”

The officials looked at each other, and their eyes were all very dark, obviously since the war started, everyone in Shengjing had not slept well.

It's no wonder that the sage Donggong is so obviously angry, because of the alliance of the Jade Gate, the frontier that has been in diplomatic relations for decades has been on fire again, and the people of the Western Zhou Dynasty can't wait to pull Galmore's ears and scold, is it afraid that the world will not be chaotic.

Yang Gong, who was the head of the hundred officials, walked out and bowed: "Back to Your Highness, as a subject country of the Western Zhou Dynasty, there was a major event like grain robbery, and it was less than a month before and after, but he didn't discuss it with our dynasty at all, and he directly provoked a war, which is indeed very strange." ”

Zhao Xixing's temples and muscles burst out, and he shouted: "It's not just weird, it's weird!" When the temple heard about the grain robbery, it was still urgently mobilizing the nearest Longzhou grain storage, although the amount was not much, but it could save an emergency. The result? Calmoshes simply declared war! ”

After a pause, Zhao Xixing laughed angrily: "Look at the latest battle report!" What kind of negotiations, food reparations, Galmore didn't give us the slightest room for negotiation! There is also the original Ashinakui Khan, who has not been heard from so far, and he does not know whether he is alive or dead! ”

The temple fell into an oppressive dead silence.

The atmosphere is solemn, making people breathless, the anger of the heavenly family is like the sky falling apart, I feel that the glass roof is about to be shattered, and the spring light in March is warm, but it can't shine in people's hearts at all.

The hearts of the people in the Western Zhou Dynasty are cold.

No one likes war, especially a country that has only undergone a palace upheaval five years ago.

Zhao Xixing sat down again, poured tea with a bang, calmed down a little, and caught a glimpse of the military situation piled up on both sides of the jade case, which still made his heart heavy.

"Galmoss should have been missing an excuse for a long time before he tore his face regardless of it. Heh, after so many years, he hasn't forgotten the defeat of his ancestors in the victory of the Jade Gate. Zhao Xixing calmed down and looked at Yang Gong, "Elder Yang Ge, what do you think?" ”

"The old man thought that it was the men of Calmosheth who robbed the grain. After all, there is a spring drought in the Western Regions, and eating is a problem, so where did the army of Calmoss get the strength to declare war? It should have been the stolen grain that became their military rations, and at the same time forced the Ashina royal court into a famine, killing two birds with one stone. Yang Gong blushed angrily and bowed down, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, no matter what the reason, the war is a foregone conclusion, I hope His Highness will make a decision as soon as possible." ”
