There is a black lotus in the deep palace

Chapter 237 Could it be her?

Although no one wants to admit the disparity in strength, it is the fact.

Several tribes of the Northern Man live as nomads all year round. Their people are thick-backed, their horses are fat and strong, and their temperaments are brutal and violent.

They are like wild wolves that have not been domesticated. They are pervasive but aggressive, making them hard to guard against and hard to fight.

"Difficult!"

In the big tent ahead, Xia Houjing stared at the sand table on the table in front of her with stern eyes, and her face, which was always as warm as jade, was now as cold as frost.

King Ping had bad legs and feet. He was wearing a fur coat and sitting on a chair beside him, concentrating on the military newspaper in his hand.

"It is indeed a tough battle. We are by no means opponents in a head-to-head battle. We can only outwit it!"

"They just calculated that the Great Xia Dynasty had just changed, and the national power was empty and continued to recuperate, so they gathered all their troops and planned to fight their backs to win or lose."

Winning, carve up the world, losing... They probably didn't think about what to do if they lost.

"The 20 army, what kind of interests are there to unite the 20 troops of the five tribes!" Xia Houjing sneered.

"No matter what kind of interests, since they can collude, there must be a rift. We just need to find the rift between them, and then enlarge it infinitely..."

The barbarian offensive was in full swing, and the Great Xia Dynasty was not to be outdone. They stood firm at the city gate and even won a few battles with their wisdom.

But it's just a coincidence. If the fight is really in full swing, it's hard to say what the result will be. No one dares to take it lightly at this time.

When the Northwest was in full swing, the people in the palace finally couldn't sit still.

"Ms. Li Taipin, why don't you just let me take a look, I will protect myself and not let him be distracted!"

Li Taipin looked at the pitiful little girl in red in front of her, and her heart almost broke.

"Good boy, I know you're worried about him, but who isn't worried now, inside and outside the imperial palace? Wait, let's wait!"

"My concubine, it will be winter soon!" Ansaiya burst into tears.

Others don't know the winter of the barbarians, but she does know that part of their Tibetan tribe borders the barbarian tribes. When winter comes, the snow is so thick that it can bury everything.

When the people there become desperate, they will go crazy and ruthless, they will burn, kill and loot, and they will do all kinds of evil. They are not human beings, but wild wolves in the snow.

When they can't fill their stomachs, they will open their bloody mouths wide, revealing their sharp fangs, and tear all the prey they can catch.

They are vicious and cruel, they jump the wall in a hurry, they do all kinds of vicious things without conscience, and their viciousness is beyond people's imagination.

The Great Xia Dynasty is a state of etiquette, they will not understand, and it is impossible for them to understand.

Ansai cried and knelt down: "My concubine, I know you care about me, but I have to go out this time, please help me!"

There was unparalleled firmness in her eyes, as if even the god of death was nothing more than a word in his eyes.

Li Taipin burst into tears: "You child, why are you so stupid!"

"Your father Khan didn't send you here to let you die. If you go, if something happens, how can we explain to your father Khan, and how sad he will be!"

Although Li Taipin was illiterate and had lived in the deep palace all year round and had little knowledge, she was never ambiguous about right and wrong, and she was still the same this time.

It's a pity that she underestimated the little girl in front of her who was like a ball of fire, and also underestimated her feelings for her son.

It turns out that there is really an emotion that can be engraved into the bone at a glance, and will never change until death.

When Li Taipin saw the sparkle in her eyes, she knew she had lost. Not only could she not convince this little girl, she couldn't even convince herself.

That's all, that's all, let her go.

"Thank you, Empress Dowager!" An Sai knelt in front of her and kowtowed heavily.

Li Taipin turned her face away, feeling that her heart was trembling, she stood up tremblingly, took out a delicate sandalwood box with dark patterns from beside her pillow, opened it and inside was a bunch of bodhi seed bracelets.

With trembling hands, she put it on Ansaiya's white wrist: "I don't have any valuables, and I don't have any great jewelry. This is a bracelet that I have held all my life. I use it to recite before the Buddha. After more than 20 years of experience, today, I will give it to you, hoping to keep you safe."

"If you marry him, you will be my dearest daughter-in-law. If you don't marry her, I will treat you as my own daughter! I hope you don't dislike me, an old woman!"

"Miss!"

Ansaiya knelt down again.

In the past, she was a delicate little princess, and she never knelt down easily, and she didn't like the etiquette of kneeling at every turn, but in front of Mrs. Li, she didn't know what other ways to express her respect besides kneeling.

"Don't worry, I will live up to your expectations!" Ansai stood up with firm eyes, turned and walked out the door.

Her back is small, delicate and pretty, yet so determined, even her footsteps carry the pride and unyieldingness of being a princess.

Looking at the back of her leaving swiftly and easily, Li Taipin leaned on the recliner and watched the setting sun outside.

"Maybe that's what they are?"

……

In September, the weather is getting colder and colder.

Some places in the northwest have already started to snow, and the barbarian offensive has become more intensive and fierce with the coming of heavy snow.

Xia Houjing and King Ping stayed in front of the big tent and hadn't slept a full night for three days and three nights, and the Tang family father and son were sick and injured.

The only thing they can do now is to consume it and see who can afford it.

"When the heavy snow falls over there, they will fall short if they run out of food. As long as we stick to the city gate and swear to the death, they have nothing to do with us for the time being!" King Ping expressed his insights.

"Not bad!" Xia Houjing nodded.

He was wearing a white jade-colored fox-fur cloak, standing under the swaying tent in the north wind, the heavy eyes still in his eyes.

The enemy's 20 troops hovered around Yongguan City like a pack of wild wolves, while the Great Xia Dynasty had only 18. The enemy was mostly cavalry, while the Great Xia Dynasty was mostly infantry, with a huge difference in strength.

After these days of fighting, the Great Xia Dynasty lost nearly [-] soldiers, and the enemy lost less than [-] soldiers. Even if they were exhausted like this, their pressure was not as easy as imagined.

Prince Ping naturally thought of it too, and he also looked grave and said nothing.

Suddenly at this time, a messenger came in from outside the tent to report.

"Report to His Highness Prince Jing and Prince Pingping, there is a woman in red outside the big tent begging to see her, and she still has a token in her hand!"

"Token? Who is it?" King Ping frowned.

Xia Houjing felt a bad premonition inexplicably, could it be her?
　I... I'm Cavin...
