Over the Xingqing Prefecture, since the Song army entered the control of the Song Dynasty, the sky above the head was gray, and the biting cold wind seemed particularly cold this year. As the Song army's Leaf flags were above the palace, as the city walls fluttered in the wind, the faint snowflakes began to slowly fall from the sky.

The cold snowflakes melted instantly when they fell on their cheeks. The wet and cool feeling made people's minds instantly clear. The King of Xia... was destroyed.

There is no difference between the streets and alleys and on weekdays, but I don’t know if it is because the fall of Xia State is imminent or because snowflakes are beginning to fall in the sky. In short, Xingqing Mansion still seems a little dead, just like the period when Li An and Li Chunyou competed for the throne some time ago.

On the day when Li Chunyou led his troops into the palace, it is said that Li An had his head cut off by himself and then hung it at the palace gate to show the ministers. However, now, Li Chunyou's dry head is no longer at the palace gate, but the Song army's flag is fluttering in the wind.

Li An under the palace gate felt like he was dreaming. A few days ago, he ascended the throne of Xia Kingdom and was about to rule the world. Now, in just a blink of an eye, he has changed from an emperor who rule the world to a prisoner of the Song people.

The palace became the office of the Xingqing Prefecture of the Song people, and Li Heng became the appeasement envoy of the Xingqing Prefecture, and Li An is about to go to the palace now. No, the office of the Song Xingqing Prefecture of the Song Dynasty accepted the title of Xingqing Hou.

Scattered snowflakes mixed with the cold northwest wind, passing by the palace gate. Li An, who had already changed into Song Dynasty uniforms, stood at the palace gate, his clothes were in chaos and disorderly with the wind. Similarly, his mood was also cold and messy at this time.

Teams of patrolling Song troops passed by, but no one saluted him, and they didn't even have the interest to look at him.

Su Dao, who was also wearing the Song Dynasty costume, followed Li An's face, with his face reddened by the cold northwest wind, and scattered snowflakes occasionally fell on his face. The feeling of wetness and coldness made Su Dao a little confused. The originally majestic palace gate, now in his eyes and heart, became particularly desolate and desolate.

Originally, there were palace halls full of civil and military officials on both sides. At this moment, Li Heng was sitting upright on the throne that Li An had been coveting for a long time. In the hall was just a few officials reporting something to him. Li An and Su Dao, after being brought in, stood by, waiting for the government affairs, and Li Heng, who was waiting to deal with the government affairs, looked at them.

Originally, Li An and Su Dao were the ones who were most familiar with the hall, but today, every tree and grass in the palace was replaced overnight, and became so strange and cold.

"Mr. Ye is planning to bury Li Chunyou and others with great care. I wonder what the Xingqing Hou meant?" Li Heng whispered a few words to the officials next to him again, then patted the armrest of the dragon chaise, slowly walked to Li An and Su Dao and asked with a smile.

"Everything depends on Lord Ye." Li An and Su Dao saluted Li Heng, and then said respectfully.

It has to be said that the action of Li Chunyou, who was killed by Ye Qinghou, who was chopped off by Li Ang, can indeed appease most of the Xia people in Xingqing Mansion. Of course, the sacrifice of this must be his interests and reputation.

Therefore, Li An had to accept Ye Qing's suggestion for his own life and not to be dismissed by the remaining royal family in Xingqing Mansion a few days ago. The nobles had to settle the score with him, so they had to accept Ye Qing's suggestion of the marquis instead of the king's title.

“So that’s the case, this

What's the matter... and let General Su take full control?" Li Heng looked at Li An and smiled slightly, then looked at Su Dao and asked.

Su Dao obviously did not expect that the Song people would actually leave the trouble of the burial of Li Chunyou to him. So after listening to Li Heng's words, he hurriedly glanced at Li Ann on the side from the corner of his eyes.

The Song people are sow discord. Now, whether it is the Song people or the legacy of the Xia Kingdom in Xingqing Prefecture, the nobles, etc., and even the people in Xingqing Prefecture, who don’t know that they are Li An’s biggest confidant?

Since seizing the throne, Li Ann ignored the stop of Rela Gongji, and finally not only cut off Li Chunyou's head with one knife and hung it at the palace gate, but even Rela Gongji, the biggest contributor to help Li Ann seize the throne, was killed without hesitation by Li Ann.

The Song people's attack on Xingqing Mansion came so quickly, and Su Dao still remembered that before the hot public welfare heads landed, he cursed Li An ingratitude while cursing Li An ingratitude.

But Su Dao did not expect that the retribution would come so quickly. Only three days after the hot public servants landed, the Song army began a real attack on Xingqing Prefecture.

Li Ann next to him had always been expressionless, and Su Dao was nervous. At this time, he obviously did not dare to violate the orders of the Song Dynasty Li Heng. As a last resort, he had to bite the bullet and asked: "I dare to ask General Li, I don't know what kind of rituals the grand funeral that Lord Ye refers to. The subordinates did not dare to rashly figure out Lord Ye's thoughts, so I would like to ask Lord Li to make clear."

"Of course, I used to be a grand funeral to the royal rituals of the Xia Kingdom..." Li Heng looked at Li An, whose face became increasingly pale, and said lightly.

Wu Lian at the door rushed in like a gust of wind, interrupting the conversation between Li Heng and Su Dao. He looked at the two men in the Song Dynasty uniform with curiosity, then looked at Li Heng nodded, and said: "The north is windy and snowy, and the Mongolians are obviously unlikely to reach the city for a while. Moreover... According to our nearly a hundred miles away, the spies sent by the officials have returned, the Mongolians do not seem to continue to go south and point directly to Xingqing Prefecture."

"You should be careful. The Mongols come and go like the wind, and they are elusive. Tell Jia She not to be careless." Li Heng, who had a relaxed expression, did not relax his vigilance because of the snow. On the contrary, his expression at this moment was much solemn than before.

Now he is guarding Xingqing Mansion, with only Li Zhongfang and Jia She around him, and only Jia She has dealt with the Mongols. In addition, Xingqing Mansion still has a lot of things to deal with. The remaining officials of the Xia State, royal family, wealthy nobles, etc. obviously don’t accept their fate so quickly and be content with oneself. Therefore, the entire Xingqing Mansion seems to be in his hands, but it is reliable or not. Li Heng has no idea at all.

Li Heng's mood was as heavy as Mo Xiaobao, Zhong Can and Tian Lin who finally captured Xiping Prefecture before the heavy snow came.

Standing on the dilapidated city wall of Xiping Prefecture, the whole world is now white, and the world is covered with silver looks beautiful, but Mo Xiaobao's mood is not beautiful at all.

Unlike capturing other cities, they can easily suppress the people and the Xia army after entering the city. Perhaps because Xiping Prefecture is the last city of the Xia people, the Xia people were not only extremely tenacious and brave when defending the city, but even after they had already captured Xiping City, the Xia people still did not give up on resistance.

Whether it was the remaining Xia army or the people in Xiping City, the actions of sharing the same hatred of the enemy were completely beyond the expectations of Mo Xiaobao and others. Even Liu Keshi, who had always been good at appeasement, did not expect that Xiping City, which was captured by them, would have such a strong, resolute and ready-to-be combat power.

Naturally, under this situation, Mo Xiaobao, Zhong Can and Tian Lin, who had become a little hesitant because of whether to massacre the city and suppress the city, were hesitating whether to massacre the city before Liu Keshi found them.

The appearance of Liu Ke helped the three of them make up their minds... to massacre the city!

The three-day massacre made the snowflakes in Xiping City seem to have a bright red color, and also made Mo Xiaobao and the other two feel particularly heavy. I don’t know how to report it to Ye Qing who is still in Yanzhou.

Liu Keshi climbed up the city wall panting, looking at Mo Xiaobao covered in snowflakes, with white heat in his mouth, and said anxiously: "I have searched all the Liao people in the city, and there are no Liao people related to Princess Chengli. I have asked all the Liao people in the city in person, and they have no idea where Princess Chengli is now."

Mo Xiaobao shook the snowflakes on his body, looked at the direction to Kedun City, and frowned and said, "Maybe Princess Chengli has not left the Liao King City at all. I have sent people to search for every city we captured along the way. There is no one who matches Princess Chengli or Yelu Yixue at all."

"Then should we continue to go west? What if we can find it, or just pick up Princess Chengli?" Liu Keshi pointed at the direction of Keduncheng and said.

"Impossible. The scouts have returned. Only more than 30 miles away from the city, there is a large army of Mongolians. But Duncheng has been broken by the Mongols, which is obviously to stop us from communicating with the Liao people. Moreover... you have also seen our casualties and losses in this battle. It is already extremely difficult to be able to stick to and appease Xiping Prefecture. If you continue to conflict with the Mongols at this time, I am afraid that Lord Ye will pick your and my head as soon as possible." Mo Xiaobao couldn't help but shook his head and smiled bitterly.

"But...you can read it yourself. This is the wife's secret letter. I just arrived, otherwise I wouldn't urge you like this." Liu Keshi had no choice but to hand the letter Bai Chun had just sent to Mo Xiaobao.

"I know that the lady wants us to find Princess Chengli and safely escort her to Jingzhao Mansion, but... now there is a vast white space between the world, and there are grasslands, deserts and Gobi outside, which is bigger than the entire Xia Kingdom, and there are also Mongolians who are always guarding against us. Now, where are we, as many of us, going to find one? It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a needle in a haystack." Mo Xiaobao said with a big head.

The territory we are in today is completely different from Jingzhao Prefecture and other places. It borders Liao. After leaving Xiping Prefecture, it will be deserts, grasslands, and Gobi. It is as vast as a single world. If you want to walk here for three days, it is probably difficult to encounter a place with a city and a town. It is completely impossible to search for a few people.

"Then you can't wait like this, and you don't do anything at all, right?" Liu Keshi's weak legs softened, and he slowly squatted in the snow against the city wall.

He walked along the way, in addition to dealing with the comforting matters of these cities, he even looked for it on his back and took on the burden of Princess Chengli of Liao. But now... the whole world is white, and the snowflakes falling from above his head have no intention of stopping. In such a difficult environment, if you want to find someone, Liu Keshi couldn't help but sigh and just sit in the snow.
