Sita secretly hid a handful of feed in her hand, threw one into her mouth and chewed it.

While eating, he was chatting with Baima: "Your master is a very noble man. The fried beans contain fine salt, cooked beans, and Qinlong vegetable oil. I have tasted them..."

"Another ounce of mead and half a pound of mutton, that's the food the Khan gave us before the war. You beasts actually eat this kind of food every day. The old man will wait for you for a few days and give it to you a little bit. You shouldn't make a fuss, huh?"

"

Seeing that the horses were covered with grass, old Sita fetched a brush again.

Although it was not his own horse, it looked really pleasing to the eye. Being able to serve it for a few days made Sita, who was a shepherd, inexplicably happy.

Sita didn't know the origins of the people upstairs. Anyway, they were sent here by the Dutong Army to record affairs and join the army. The instructions given to Sita were also very strange. They were to watch them and not let them go north, but as long as they didn't

Further north, stay within the jurisdiction of the Saipa Army and let them act on their own.

Sita remembered what the caravans in the past had said privately, saying that the prince-in-law Dutongjun and the Song people, as well as the rebels who occupied the palace of the Wuzu in Tiandu Mountain, were all involved.

The clothes of those people were strange. Their inner robes looked like silk rather than silk, and they were covered with white coarse cloth, which looked warm.

What Sita envied the most was the boots they wore. They were of a style I had never seen before. The ropes were beautifully woven and pressed against the leather tongue. They were wearing a layer of cotton socks and a layer of woolen socks inside.

He wore gloves on his hands, and at his waist was the kind of short-handled copper-gauntlet curved riding sword that once made Sita fearful.

Back then, I went to celebrate with the prime minister, but in the end I was too focused on my head instead of my back. I didn't win here yet, but Yixi Weishe broke the Xiaoguan there.

The Prime Minister led them in a frantic retreat to rescue Weizhou, but they were overtaken by the red-robed Song Army halfway. Sita had seen with her own eyes that those companions who were running wildly were easily penetrated, torn, and decapitated by such a sword.

Broken waist...

From then on, Sita made a rule for herself, that is, when encountering a Song Dynasty person with such a knife, it is best not to run away. The first correct choice is to put aside the weapon and lie down with your head in your hands.

The life of a noble person is life, but the life of a bitch is not life?

Thinking of her own prince-in-law, Sita sighed, her life was not easy.

The entire Jingsai Military Division only has one hundred thousand troops under its command, and only forty thousand soldiers, many of whom are just like me.

The Li rebels in Tiandu Mountain made a lot of money by trading with the Song Dynasty people, and they often came out to rob people.

The prince-in-law led the army to rob people and did not dare to rob them. He was defeated again and again, but now he has learned well and started trading with the Song Dynasty people.

In the meantime, they had sex with traitor Li several times. The brothers worked really hard to prevent traitor Li from eating alone and earning such a share of money and food from the Song Dynasty people.

Just a few days after the good days, Marshal Liang came again. The first thing he did was to ask the capital army to move westward and give way to Xiaoguan.

The 70,000 elite men under Marshal Liang are not vegetarians, so the commander-in-chief can only endure it. Next year, the caravan will only have to go down Tiandu Mountain, and another layer of skin will be shaved off by Li's traitors.

"Alas..." Sita sighed again and carried the horse dung in the stable outside the earth wall.

This thing freezes into ice lumps and has no flavor at all.

Then he mixed loess with charcoal ash and spread it on the stable. Then he tightened his leather robe and returned to the earth building.

Several people from the Song Dynasty must be waiting for someone, and they took turns going to the roof of the building to look at the north with a strange yellow tube.

The pot has been boiled with paste. The Tibetan people are very hospitable, but Sita really can't bring out anything good to entertain. There are only millet and salt in the fort, and there are some dried salt vegetables. That's what Sita brought with him in the autumn.

My subordinates picked it out on the river beach.

This was an important smuggling channel to Xixia. They guarded this fort and had a private harvest. However, Sita had already discussed it with several of her subordinates and sent all her savings over the past few years to the mountains to hide them.

These days, no one can believe it.

Looking at the diced beef rolling in the paste, Sita swallowed a mouthful of saliva and felt a little embarrassed on her face. She rubbed her hand on her robe twice: "It's not our duty to always eat meat brought by guests.

As a guest, I'll go upstairs to get a leg of lamb and make a mutton stew tonight."

The leader of the Song people smiled bitterly: "The mutton comes next, are there any vegetables?"

Sita also smiled bitterly: "This is really difficult. Not to mention the vegetables, even the smell of tea has not been smelled for a long time."

At this moment, the cover upstairs opened and a head popped out: "Boss, here we come."

The leader of the Song Dynasty gave a hint to several of his colleagues, and they stood at key positions in the room without revealing anything: "You guys are watching the food here, I'll go up and take a look."

Sita said: "I'll go too and pick up the leg of mutton."

Arriving at the top of the building, the former sentry handed the telescope to the boss: "Look!"

Far to the north, on the white ground, there is a long, relatively flat strip that winds from the east to the west of the horizon and connects with a wider flat strip in the northwest.

It was the frozen Xu Bin Water and the Yellow River, and on the other side of the Yellow River, a group of small black dots appeared.

The boss turned to the sentry and said: "Tell them to saddle their horses and prepare to receive him. It should be the envoy of Xia State."

Sita looked at the birds flying in a valley in the distance: "That's not right..."

The boss is also a well-informed person: "Oh no, there is an ambush! Let's go, save people quickly!"

Sita threw herself at the boss's feet and hugged his legs tightly: "Old guest! Military Lord! You can't do it! The prince-in-law has an order from the commander of the army. You can't cross Huairong Fort!"

The boss kicked Sita hard: "Get away!"

Sita didn't let go at all, crying: "Master, please spare my life! If I let you go, the old man will be dead, and none of the five people in Hebao will survive..."

The boss was about to get angry, but the sentry just now put his hand on his shoulder: "Military orders cannot be crossed, boss, and besides, we only have Crane-shin Crossbow and Thunder Thunder. Look, it's useless..."

On the opposite side of the Yellow River, two teams of black-armored knights have emerged. There are nearly a thousand people. The envoys are surrounded by the cavalry formation. On the lance held high by a rider is a red flag with painted on it.

A green wolf head.

The boss punched the wall angrily: "Commander Tu, the old thief of Jialiang! Get the crane-shank crossbow, I will go over and assassinate him!"

The sentry shook his head gently: "This is the defense area of ​​the Prince Consort's army. If we attack and assassinate here, it will only give Liang Yongneng an excuse!"

After that, he said to Sita: "We have to withdraw and leave all the supplies we brought with you, but you have to find a place to hide them quickly. After all, you are still Xia people. If anyone finds out, it will be in trouble."

.”

Sita couldn't figure out who was the boss between the two for a moment, and couldn't help but be stunned.

The boss shook his feet and said: "Let go, you loser, you loser! Keep the leg of lamb and come back to eat it another day!"

Sita quickly let go of her hand.

After a while, five white horses carrying cavalrymen wrapped in white coats ran out of the south gate of Huairong Fort and disappeared in the blink of an eye on the vast white snowfield.

When Sita saw the formation on the opposite side, she quickly came down from the stairs: "Quick, quick, quick, hide the things left by the military men in the stables! Cover up all the traces! Don't let anyone see the flaws!"

…

Everyone in the Xixia envoys looked pale, and Li Qing's guards all drew out their long swords and guarded him at the core.

Thousands of black cavalry were divided into two teams. One team guarded the north bank of the Yellow River, blocking the envoy's path, while the other team assembled further north and formed a charge formation.

A big black horse came out of the crowd and slowly came to the front of the mission. The middle-aged knight immediately frowned, but did not look at anyone. Instead, he stared at Huairong Fort on the edge of the hill in the distance.

He said, "Brother Li, please come out and see me."

Li Qing pushed aside the obstruction of the guards and rode up to the knight: "Li Qing has the emperor's orders and is an envoy to the Song Dynasty. Why did Mr. Jia stop him?"

Jia Liang withdrew his gaze and looked at Li Qing with a look of regret on his face: "Your Excellency, something happened. According to the Queen Mother's decree, Li Qing's mission was canceled and he immediately returned to Xingqing Mansion and waited behind closed doors. The envoy to the Song Dynasty, another

If you have an appointment, I won’t bother you anymore.”

Li Qing was shocked: "What happened to my emperor?"

Jia Liang sighed: "The Minister is my great hero in Great Xia. The Queen Mother has been holding back for so long just waiting for the opportunity for the Minister to leave Your Majesty's side."
