This year's winter came particularly early, but it was only October that snow began to fall in the northern border. Looking up from the city tower, I saw the snow covered with snow on the mountain and everything was covered with silver, showing a bit of love in the coldness.

At this time, a fierce sound of horse hooves came from the snow in the distance. In just a moment, a team of more than a hundred people rode their horses.

When the soldiers guarding the city gate saw it, they quickly moved the switch.

King Jing'an stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the young man in the lead, feeling quite relieved: "I didn't expect Yanzhi to come back so soon. It seems that the group of horse thieves are not enough to get his teeth into pieces."

The deputy general beside him smiled and said, "The Major General is young and promising. When you are not here, he will take his brothers to train."

"Yanzhi is steady in nature. Among my three children, he is the oldest!"

As he said this, the team had already entered the city. The young man called Yanzhi turned over and got off the horse, shook his shoulders and strode up the city tower. He walked to Pei Jun and clasped his fists and said, "Father, the child has fulfilled his mission and has killed all the horse thieves attacking Xining."

Pei Jun smiled, helped him with a quick help, and said, "Well, I received a report this morning that there were also horse thieves in the northern part of Tongzhou. It is said that several villages have been looted by horse thieves, and many people have died. Seeing that heavy snow is coming, the food and grass have not yet been delivered, I am worried that the horse thieves have set their sights on that batch of food and grass. Let's do this, order five hundred soldiers and set off to Tongzhou to pick them up soon to avoid any chaos."

Pei Yan bowed and said, "Yes, father!" After that, he turned around and went down the city tower.

The sky began to snow again.

When the deputy general heard this, he smiled without hesitation: "You are just too worried! The major general grew up in the military camp and was with you to fight to kill the enemy at the age of fourteen. What can a few horse thieves do to him? General, don't think too much. If you really don't feel at ease, send another 200 more people!"

Where no one knows, a dark shadow is approaching quietly.

As he got on the carriage, he suddenly turned around and looked at the palace covered in dark clouds, and a light of unknown meaning flashed in his eyes.

Everyone who was talking and laughing did not notice any abnormalities outside, raised their wine glass and laughed loudly, but at this moment, a sharp arrow cut through the wind and snow, and with a sharp murderous intent, shot straight into the eyebrows of the officials at the upper class, and suddenly lost their anger.

"Father, what are you looking at?" Cai Qi looked along his gaze and found nothing special.

"There are assassins!" A loud shout came from the crowd.

Fu Xiuyun brushed away his hand, swept the ministers below with a cold look, forcing him to issue an order, and ordered Ji Youhuai to take his people to Tongzhou to support him immediately.

After only this order was issued, he could no longer help but spit out a mouthful of blood on the spot and almost fell down the steps. Everyone was startled and rushed to carry him into the side hall, and quickly went to invite the imperial physician. The entire Fengtian Hall was in chaos in an instant.

The officials' expressions changed, and they accelerated their pace to rush to the palace.

At this moment, a sudden burst of rapid horse trampling sounds came from the other side of the long street, and everyone stopped to look.

It was not until the morning court that everyone realized that the day was about to change.

The food and grass sent to Liangzhou were robbed in Tongzhou, and all the officials in charge of escort were tragic. In addition, the northern part of Tongzhou was attacked by horse thieves, and other grassland tribes took the opportunity to cause trouble, burn, kill and loot. In just one day, five villages had been slaughtered.

Too many things have happened in Tongzhou recently, but the batch of food and grass was stuck there again and had to send someone to support him.

"Forget it," Pei Jun waved his hand, "Although Yanzhi is my son, there are no father and son in the army. I can't make an exception for him alone, so let him go."

Pei Jun looked up at the gray sky above his head, the bleak thin clouds flowed with the wind, and the fine snowflakes swirled down, quickly blurring people's vision.

Mr. Li supported him, as anxious as if he was about to cry: "Your Majesty, please take care of the dragon's body!"

The soldiers set up camp tents, set fires, and gathered together to keep warm. They talked about words like "It's too cold" or "When will I get to Liangzhou?"

I heard the man holding the military newspaper in his hand and shouted loudly: "Eight hundred miles of speed up! Get out of here, get out of here-"

The border is frequent and the grassland tribes are in trouble due to the tribute city. If there is heavy snow again, the situation will only be even more critical. Now I just hope that everything will be fine and that I can spend this winter smoothly.

As night entered, the wind and snow in the northern border became more and more arrogant. The flags with the word "Yan" were clamoring in the cold wind. This was the team that escorted food and grass.

In an instant, the sword light rushed in with the wind and snow, flashing human eyes in an instant. The sword fell with his hands, and the blood dyed the white snow red. The battle finally kicked off in the howling snowy night.

As the sky was about to dawn, this magnificent city was still immersed in silence. The officials who walked to court shrank their necks and walked forward slowly and hard.

When Cai Yuan walked out of the palace, the sky had completely sunk.

"It's nothing, I just remembered the scene when I first stepped into this imperial city," he seemed to be trapped in some memory, his eyes became confused. "The golden glazed tiles shone brightly in the sun, and the towering palace walls blocked the grasslands in the north. At that time, I was thinking that in the next many years, I would probably have to struggle alone in this mud. Fortunately, all this is not endless. Now I finally see the end, and the vast grassland seems to be more lush."

At the end, Cai Yuan sighed and said, "Go to do it as soon as possible, I don't want to wait any longer."

Seeing that he was in a daze, the deputy general couldn't help but ask, "General, what's wrong with you?"

Fu Xiuyun's fall made the already severe situation even more tense.

Pei Jun's eyes were slightly condensed and he murmured to himself: "Will there be too few people just for him to take 500 people to Tongzhou?"

Such a dark gray color makes people feel inexplicably nervous. Are you worried about a next blizzard in the future, or are you afraid that this blizzard will crush people to death?

He can't say it.

Cai Qi looked at him inexplicably and secretly guessed the profound meaning of these words.

After hearing this, Fu Xiuyun was furious and a fishy sweetness surged in his throat, and his body was a little unstable.

Cai Qi understood: "Yes, father."

Not long after, the northern border encountered a blizzard and heavy snow covered the mountain. Before Ji Youhuai brought his men to the point, news of the Tongzhou mutiny came first.

The commander of Tongzhou, Guo Xiao, colluded with foreign thieves, killed the prefect Zhang Yuanliang, and hung his head on the city tower for three days. In addition, Pei Yanzhi, the eldest son of King Jing'an, and his subordinates were all killed in the war.

As soon as this news came out, it shocked the government and the public. No one expected that a small captain would dare to launch a mutiny!
