In the sixteenth year of Yongping, the thirtieth month of the month, the annual Chinese New Year's Eve night, the border pass of Lingzhou in the north of the country was intertwined with wind and snow, and the temperature was so cold that even if all the cotton coats and thick clothes were tied to the body, I still felt cold hands and feet.

Xiao Mufeng nervously stood on the tower of Lingzhou City to inspect, the whistling wind swept the green silk under his wooden crown and flew chaotically, yes, since he came to this Lingzhou, he seems to have completely abandoned his identity as a prince, eating and living with the soldiers, without the slightest arrogance and arrogance that the royal family should have.

But they didn't expect that this prince actually came and had no intention of going back, and he did everything himself, and he was extremely fair and polite to his subordinates.

Listening to the howling wind and looking at the white snow outside the city, Xiao Mufeng just stood like a stone statue, motionless.

On the last night of the sixteenth year of Yongping, no matter how busy and tired, rich and poor, the people returned home early, reunited with their families, and spent the annual Chinese New Year's Eve together, and the most bitter thing was that these soldiers were stationed in such a difficult place for many years and could not reunite with their relatives.

Lingzhou is located at the junction of the four countries, the geographical location is delicate and important, a few days ago, Xiao Mufeng found out that there are frequent changes in Tibet and Mongolia, and even the number of times he usually picks quarrels and provokes troubles has decreased in the last ten days, only occasionally when he goes out of the customs to see the place where the enemy country is occasionally crowded, and a faint worry climbs into Xiao Mufeng's heart.

Chinese New Year's Eve was supposed to be a time for reunion, but Xiao Mufeng did not let the soldiers go to dinner and drink as in previous years, but after arranging the defense, he climbed the city wall and stared into the distance, and some soldiers would also privately complain that the main general was not close to people and pretended to be mysterious.

Xiao Mufeng only ordered the soldiers to put the prepared oil drums in the wall, so that the soldiers did not light any torches, but just squatted on the city wall neatly dressed, and for a while there was silence, and only a few sleepy soldiers were dozing off on the city wall.

A quarter of an hour later, the crowd outside the city was full of voices, for a time a large number of people gathered under the city wall, frantically climbed to the city wall, when the Tibetan and Mongolian soldiers complacently thought that they could beat the Jin soldiers by surprise, but they didn't know that Xiao Mufeng had already designed a trap waiting for them to drill, only to see that suddenly the dormant soldiers on the city wall suddenly fought, for a while the arrows rained out of the city, and the black shadows under the city fell one by one, and the enemy soldiers who climbed on the city wall did not think that why so many Jin soldiers appeared at once, How could there be so many hot tung oil falling all at once, as soon as the fire caught fire, these people suddenly turned into fireballs, fell off the city wall, some fell to death or fainted and no longer moved, some were still rolling on the ground and wailing, for a time the corpses under the city were all over the field, and the screams were endless.

When most of the Mongolian and Tibetan soldiers under the city were injured, Xiao Mufeng gave an order, the heavy city gate slowly opened, and Xiao Mufeng, who was wearing battle armor, took the lead in running out of the horse, and batch after batch of soldiers rode out.

In the past few months since Xiao Mufeng came to Lingzhou, he was the first to kill every enemy attack, and he rushed to the forefront of every most dangerous charge.

Because for him, his admiring and beloved biological father pushed him into the whirlpool, and forced him to kill the person he loved the most, and what was even more ridiculous was that he had no room to resist, so he hated, hated his identity as a prince, hated his identity as a prince, hated his identity as a Xiao family, and hated his incompetence even more.

Tortured by this kind of heartache day and night, only by fighting hard to kill the enemy can he vent the depression in his heart and make him feel better.

Therefore, when the soldiers who returned from victory celebrated with their foreheads, he did not feel the slightest joy, and only deep fatigue could make him sleep well and feel better.

However, in addition to these, he also needs to bear the sting pain like digging bones, which is the poison of the poison pill that Yelugu gave him, but whenever he just holds the white porcelain bottle in his hand and endures it silently, but there is a trace of joy in his heart, because this is what he bears for his beloved, only then does he feel that he has some use, not a useless prince.

When she learned the news of Xiao Mufeng's garrison in Lingzhou, Yelu Geya came to Lingzhou once, she disguised herself as a merchant and entered the city, when she saw Xiao Mufeng, her eyes were full of joy, but when she saw Xiao Mufeng's thin and lean appearance, there was some sadness in her eyes.

Time seems to be particularly merciful to her, because she has become more amazing, and that exotic style makes many soldiers can't take their eyes off it, but her proud beauty capital is of no use to Xiao Mufeng here, Xiao Mufeng doesn't look at her at all.

It wasn't until she took out a whole bottle of antidote that Xiao Mufeng's face became surprised, he glanced at her twice, and then moved away indifferently and said, "When did General Yelu become so generous, aren't you afraid that I won't keep my promise and turn against him?" ”

Yelu Geya smiled as if flattering, and said excitedly: "I stole it from my father, because I don't want you to suffer the pain of the bones, do you know that I will feel sorry for you." After speaking, there was burning affection in his eyes.

Xiao Mufeng laughed at himself and said: "This king can't afford Miss Yelu's love, please don't take your beloved wife's promise to heart anymore, go back to Khitan and let your father tell you a good family affair, get married." ”

Yelu Geya's face turned pale, but then she regained her bright smile and raised her head and said, "I haven't gotten what I want, and so do the people I like." Besides, I heard my father say that your Jin State protector general Lin Xiang was executed for treason, and the county lord of Zhaoning also died in your hands, originally I looked down on you for killing your lover for power, but after thinking about it, if she hadn't died, I wouldn't have a chance. ”

Yelu Geya said to herself, but she didn't see Xiao Mufeng's face becoming more and more solemn, and finally stared at Yelu Geya like a ghost, and the latter couldn't help but be shocked when he turned around.

Xiao Mufeng said coldly: "Since you know that I did not hesitate to kill my lover for the sake of power, do you still want to stay by your side for this kind of person, aren't you afraid that one day I will also abandon you for the sake of profit?" ”

"I'm different, I married you as a Khitan princess with you, if you dare to treat me like that, with the strength of the Khitan, I will definitely not give up, and I will definitely break through your Luoyang Jingshi and seek justice for me." Yelu Geya's eyes sloped lightly.

"If you want a person's life, there are many ways, Princess Yelu still needs to find a way to save her life, don't put your mind on people like me, besides, I have no interest in you at all!" Xiao Mufeng's tone was like ice.

After speaking, Yelu Geya's face was as pale as paper, how could she have suffered such an attitude from others, she jumped to her feet with anger, and then said: "I don't care, you don't come to scare me, I will definitely get what I want, anyway, I am married to you!" ”

After saying that, he left without looking back.

Xiao Mufeng watched the dazzling red slowly disappear in front of him, and his frowning brows never relaxed.
