The snow-covered grasslands of the Northern Wilderness have erased all the vivid imprints. Those once spring and autumn vitality have been buried by thicker and thicker snow.

The thick snow has almost extended to the borders of Great Xia, and there has been a vicious battle between Great Xia and the Northern Wilderness rangers here, although it has not severely damaged the southern expeditionary grain riders who went to Great Xia to sweep the grain and grass. But he finally grabbed the grain and grass to prepare for the winter, and most of it was lost by this battle. This made the president of the food team feel like a fish in his throat when he thought about it.

It was a field battle, and there was no city nearby.

The lives lost are far from the inhabited land, and the two sides of the war can be said to have lost their troops, so there is no one to take care of the corpses everywhere.

The only ones who accompanied the scattered corpses and flesh were the beasts who had tracked the two from farther away. The northern cold land makes these beasts look skinny.

But when they dig through the hard dried flesh buried in the thick snow, the ferocity in their eyes makes the beasts of any other place terrified.

But following these gouged corpses, Xiang Bei didn't have to worry about getting lost. The clouds carried its half-dead master, and it didn't seem to mind too much that the legless snow made every step extremely difficult.

The lone wolf Xiaobai was even more happy, this time Xiang Bei finally didn't leave it behind, and this world is a line, only the white world seems to awaken a certain feeling in its blood.

Now it has grown into a giant wolf, with a thick snow-white mane that raises bursts of snow foam when it runs, and looks quite imposing.

The snow was thick enough to reach the top of its head, but it could use its strong limbs to run across the surface of the snow. This makes Xiang Bei sometimes can't help but feel envious.

Xiaobai's natural lightness is more handy than his light skills that he has practiced for several years.

But as soon as I thought of the feeling of being as light as a swallow, a warm body came up from behind, "Do you know what Yukong is? That's called freedom......

The mysterious aroma that had once intoxicated Xiang Bei penetrated into his nostrils again, and Xiang Bei felt a pair of wings vibrate, and his body was already carried into the air by the pair of jade arms that surrounded his waist and eyes.

"I thought you were dead?" Xiang Bei's nose was sour, and even he could hear the grievance and sadness in his voice.

"Stupid, haven't I been with you all the time?"

"But I see your geist......"

"I've entered the immortal, how can you burn me with that little effort?"

"Really?" Xiang Bei's body suddenly lightened, it turns out that you have already ascended to the immortal?" he couldn't help but turn around with the intoxicating aroma, wanting to take another look at that delicate face.

When I turned around, I only saw a dazzling white light.

......

Oh woo~

A low wolf howl suddenly came from somewhere in this white light, making Xiang Bei, who had already melted into this white light and couldn't feel his existence, wake up instantly.

Yes, I'm in a fantasy. The ethereal, ethereal feeling was immediately overshadowed by a heavy fall, painful strength all over the body.

Puff, puff, and then there was a slippery feeling on his face, which completely pulled Xiang Bei out of the illusion. He didn't know how long he had been unconscious in the soft snow, and the dark cloud was lying on his side, shielding him from the wind and snow, and half of his body was covered in snow.

And Xiaobai, the giant wolf who has always been naughty, is licking Xiang Bei's cheeks with his rough and slippery tongue.

Xiang Bei, who came to his senses, felt a sour feeling in his heart, it seemed that that person was really gone.

Seeing that Xiang Bei woke up, Xiaobai seemed to be relieved. But he also understood that it seemed that this master would not be able to move for a while, so he simply sandwiched Xiang Bei in the middle and lay down.

Burying his body in the snow, the white wolf's body was already about the same length as the dark clouds. Although the thick mane is also a little piercing, fortunately, the wolf under the mane is tightly attached.

The warmth of the wolf's hair, just like that warm embrace, Xiang Bei finally couldn't hold on and fell asleep again.

......

Those stragglers and vagrants who had retreated from the front finally brought the news of the loss of the border fortress to the capital of Great Xia, Sheng'an. Naturally, the deserters are hiding in Tibet and do not dare to make it public, but the displaced border people have been reduced to homeless beggars, and naturally they are doing everything they can to get a bite to eat.

Some of them were abducted and imprisoned, but more were begging along the streets, describing the tragic situation of the border pass to the people of Sheng'an, who enjoyed the peaceful and prosperous times.

This resentment spread more and more among the people, and gradually developed a sense of confusion and unrest, and the forbidden army garrisoning the capital had to report the pressure of law and order to the imperial court.

The son of heaven who has been intoxicated with gentleness in the countryside has finally been affected by this uneasy emotion.

"Horn, there have been a lot of cases in the capital recently, and it is said that they are all caused by displaced people, do you know?"

Returning from the next dynasty in the summer, he went straight to Kunling Palace as usual, and the sedan chair carried by the palace people swayed and swayed, which was very pleasant. But he was still troubled by the excerpts of the Defense Division of the Fifth Army in the court.

I really don't know how that Mu Ne's newspaper official got the official position of the emperor.

"Are all your battle reports true, why did you report them when a quarter of the north was already lost!"

Hua Sijian rarely took a serious look at the excerpt, because the content of the excerpt shocked him, the army of demon beasts had already conquered the northwest town, and was about to break through the last Jinsha Pass.

Although this emperor is drunk and dreams of death, but since he was a child, he was appointed by the old emperor to mention the face of the emperor, in addition to the teacher said, he also has a little experience of the territory of Great Xia, once Jinsha City is broken, the incoming enemy can trample on the land of Great Xia.

The rest of the Xiongguan is difficult to break, but the enemy's soldiers can completely bypass these cities and go directly to the bottom of Sheng'an City.

And the majesty of the imperial capital symbolized by the imperial city, those nominal golden armor forbidden troops, are just a façade.

In the face of Long Yan's anger, the Mu Neyan officer of the Fifth Army's Defense Department obviously didn't know how to recruit him, so he could only kowtow like pounding garlic while begging for the emperor's forgiveness.

While peeking at the Taishi Horn on the side.

Horn glared at him fiercely, which frightened the official and quickly withdrew his gaze, and continued to kowtow and beg for mercy.

"The emperor is angry, just because Chang Po captured Lord Chang personally pressed the formation, thinking that with a pillar of the empire like him, the north will be safe......"

"Bastard! Then why have these troop moving documents sent back by General Chang been detained for half a year?!"

"Then, it was the former official who privately suppressed the battle report, and when the lower official took over, he did not hand over the lower official!"

"What about the former speaker? Where is the other one?

The former official has committed suicide in fear of sin. This matter is not trivial, as soon as the battle report is presented, the minister is anxious. On the one hand, he asked him to submit the battle report pressed on the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies to the Son of Heaven as soon as possible, and on the other hand, he investigated the cause of the matter. I don't want this former scribe to know that his sin is unforgivable. He committed suicide in prison. ”

The emperor glared at the uncle and master Horn who suddenly interjected, although he also had doubts in his heart, but what Tian'en said was not leaking, although the Son of Heaven was unwilling, he had nothing to say.

Chang Po went to the north with his own will, and in the past, it was enough to dispatch the border troops stationed in various parts of the north to deal with the invading enemy.

I don't want to think that this time, the rumors turned out to be true, the northern border is facing an army of demon beasts from the land that can't be reached, and these troops and defense lines were easily torn apart by the enemy.

After Chang Poyu left, the emperor tried to be brisk, so he simply let the Taishi take charge of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies. The daily affairs of the Commander-in-Chief of the Five Armies of Great Xia. This Taishi first cut and then played, and investigating the battle report can be regarded as carrying out his own instructions.

What's more, a few months ago, it was Hua Sijian who followed the advice of the Beijing officials, and postponed Chang Po's prayer to mobilize troops for the sake of the birthday celebration of the Empress Dowager.

"Alas, it's all because I mistook General Chang......"

The emperor's sigh made Horn feel bad in his heart. hurriedly fanned the flames on the side,

"Yes, General Chang commanded my Great Xia Fifth Army, and he was a fierce general who followed Tiankuihou all the way to battle. The ministers thought that with him to suppress the formation, they would naturally be able to ensure that my northern border of Great Xia was safe. I don't know how it will end up like this. ”

Horn stole a glance at the emperor's face, and continued,

"However, the loss of the northern border is a situation that General Chang Lao cannot reverse on the spot. The emperor must understand the dissatisfaction in the heart of General Chang. This sin is not to be relied upon by the Holy One. ”

"Yes. ”

"The minister seconded the proposal!"

The emperor was angry. ”

......

A bunch of courtiers who tended to be inflammatory, following the meaning of the Taishi, shouted again and again that the emperor's sage should not be borne by Hua Sijian.

Hua Youzhen himself just said it casually, naturally he didn't really want to take responsibility, and the courtiers agreed, although he could get off the donkey down the slope, but the crisis in the north was incomprehensible, which made the emperor's ass on the dragon chair always uneasy.

I stopped some excerpts, all of which were some words of praise for auspicious weather and abundant harvests, and Hua Sijian really couldn't support it, just like escaping back to the harem, first be happy and happy.

Shen Gonggong is right, in this great summer, from the east of the East Sea tide, west to the west of Mount Everest, north to the southern foot of the ranger, south to the land of Baekje.

The people can match the sum of the world's eight wildernesses, and the firearms can sweep all the swords and soldiers under Kyushu. How can there be 3,000 seas and no waves?

"Naturally, the incident is difficult to settle, but with the luck of Great Xia, there will naturally be enough strength to smooth out these incidents. ”

These words are much more pleasant to the ear than the words of those courtiers above the court. Hua Youzhen's mind couldn't help but leave only Lu Lijing's tactful singing voice and long-sleeved dancing body.

However, before entering Kunning Palace, Hua Youzhen suddenly stopped the sedan chair, because Huo Ping, as a personal guard, could only stop there.

Hua Youzhen remembered that Huo Ping had followed Chang Poyu to help Shule, and suddenly wanted to hear his opinion.

Huo Ping hesitated for a moment, and Horn's repeated admonitions told him to stop being rash, but the bloody battle between Shule and Tianyao Jinsha ignited the blood in his body.

When he left the front line, he patted his chest to Chang Poyu and Geng Zhong and assured him that he would definitely be able to call back the rescuers. Now that he was questioned by the emperor, he finally mustered up his courage.

"Your Majesty, I heard from my friends in the forbidden army in the capital that a lot of victims have indeed poured in from the north recently, and the military situation on the front line must be tight. ”

"Hmm!" Hua Youzhen finally heard an answer he wanted, but he didn't want to accept, and with a wave of his hand, the ninety-five body of the True Dragon Heavenly Son finally disappeared into the deep palace gate of Kunning Palace.

Huo Ping's eyes signaled, and his subordinates lined up in turn to be on guard, but Huo Ping looked at the vermilion gate again, but it seemed to see a bottomless gate of hell, wanting to swallow the entire land of Kyushu.
