They don't necessarily want to contain or crush someone, more often, they just want to show what they have learned in their chests.

"Officials, about the history..."

Xue Ji hesitated to speak.

"Haha, it's time to meet, our Shi Xiang is looking for you again? I think you can plan something for him."

"Shi Miyuan is also considered a shrewd person, but why can't he see through it? I don't know how Xiao Qi poured him the ecstasy soup, so that this shrewd person all his life is actually running for him?"

"Everyone, don't stop him, you can even follow him sometimes, let's see how he performs—"

Zhao Kuo's eyes shone with confidence.

Shi Miyuan, who was also the person Zhao Kuo relied on the most back then, was able to support him all the way to come here. Could it be that he is going to be old and let me wield the butcher knife at him?

......

By the West Lake, Li Mansion.

An antique house, the house is not too big, at least in the eyes of Northwesterners, the three-entry house is considered small, but all the vegetation is very particular.

There are not many people living in the house, two masters, three guards, and four maids.

Of the original people in the mansion, only two cooks and two gardeners remained.

The signboard of the house is also very simple, with gold letters on a black background, and only the word "Li Fu" on it. Although the words are simple, they come from the hands of the current officials of the Song Dynasty.

This "Li Mansion" is the residence of Li Zunxu, the Supreme Emperor of Xixia, in Lin'an.

In the past half a year, Li Zunxu, who was originally in a bad mood, may have become more and more resilient day by day, perhaps more adapted to the environment in the south of the Yangtze River.

Read a book every day, drink tea, or go boating on the West Lake not far away.

In order to satisfy Li Zunxu's elegance, Zhao Kuo, an official of the Great Song Dynasty, even sent Li Zunxu a boat directly.

It was still a two-story building, operated by six sailors. When the weather was good, Li Zunxu even slept directly on the building.

The house is unremarkable, and Li Zunxu is also very low-key. He has lived here for more than half a year. No one around here would have imagined that there lived a former king of Xixia here.

On this day, Li Zunxu didn't go out, or when he was about to go out, he was blocked back.

"Xiao Nan, Xiao Bei, why are you here? But something happened to Zhongxing Mansion?"

Seeing the two people who hurried in from outside the "Li Mansion", "Vulture" Yu Chixuan spoke first.

Who is it?

It was in "Yipintang", two of the eight second-rate masters were the adopted sons of "Vulture" Yu Chixuan, one was called Yuchi Nan and the other was called Yuchi Bei.

What's rare is that these two are still twins, 25 and [-] years old, and they have won the true biography of "Vulture" Yu Chixuan and the three of them. They are already second-rate masters at a young age.

"Father, something happened to the Zhongxing Mansion, the king went to him...he passed away—"

"what?--"

As Yu Chinan and Yu Chinan fell to the ground crying, everyone in the Li residence was shocked. Murong Qiudi hurriedly supported Li Zunxu from the side, so as not to let the old man fall down.

"Xiao Nan, what are you talking about? Tell me clearly, the king was at the height of his age, how could he have passed away?"

Although he knew that his two foster sons couldn't say anything nonsense about this kind of matter, "Vulture" Yu Chixuan still jumped over, grabbed Yu Chinan's collar and asked.

"Let's talk in the study, Reid, Yi Niang, you two stand guard at the door and don't let anyone in."

Murong Qiudi spoke, and sent four servant girls away. Today's rafting was scheduled to be unable to go, so she supported Li Zunxu, and let "Vulture" Yu Chixuan walk into Li's study with two names.

"Tell me, what's going on?"

After helping Li Zunxu to sit down, Murong Qiudi asked with a serious face.

Having been in charge of "Yipintang" for many years, even "Vulture" Yu Chixuan and the three of them treated Murong Qiudi with the courtesy of an elder, let alone Murong Nan, who is another generation lower.

"Reporting to Concubine Qi, Brother Tiemu, a Mongolian, led 2 Mongolian iron cavalry to raid Guazhou City. He broke into the city within half a day, and the Great Xia Army suffered more than [-] casualties."

"In times of crisis, 'Princess Yincheng' stepped forward and personally led 4 Daxia warriors to reinforce them. They withdrew the soldiers from Suzhou and Ganzhou, and nearly [-] people were stationed in Xiliang Prefecture."

"At the same time, the king also ordered people to go to Yinzhou and Kangcheng to ask for help. If the reinforcements can arrive in time, Daxia may turn the crisis into safety."

"However, just five days after the 'Princess Yincheng' went out to fight, the king was poisoned to death! The palace servants discovered it early in the morning of the second day."

"The night before, only Commander Tuoba Hong was with the king. When he arrived at Tuoba Hong's residence, he, his concubine and only son Tuoba Xu had long since disappeared."

Yu Chinan knelt on the ground and talked the whole time, and beside him was his brother Yuchi Bei, who were members of the "Yipintang", and the king was poisoned to death, so they could not escape the crime of not being able to protect him.

"Then Tuoba Hong poisoned Wang'er?"

Li Zunxu leaned on the grand teacher's chair, and patiently listened to Yu Chinan's narration.

"To the Empress Dowager, I don't dare to speak in a lowly position, but everyone thought so at the beginning. The first night was only Tuoba Hong by the king's side. This is what many people have seen."

"When I looked for him again, he disappeared and took away his only son. It can be seen that he fled in fear of crime."

Facing Li Zunxu's questioning, Yu Chinan was a little frightened, but he could only tell the truth.

"So, who is in charge of Zhongxing Mansion now?"

What Li Zunxu asked was on the point. There have been accidents in the royal family since ancient times. Of course he was sad when his son died. Who would want a white-haired person to give a black-haired person?

However, the son is dead, what about the grandchildren?What about Daxia's throne?

"Because the princes were still young, all the ministers elected the nephew Li Sui to preside over the overall situation. When the humble two left, he had already ascended the throne as emperor."

"Hahaha, yes, very good! What a civil and military man of the Manchu Dynasty, what a descendant of the Li family! Li Sui, I underestimated you—"

"Taishanghuang, do you think it's Li Sui's murderous hands?"

Murong Qiudi was no stranger to this Li Sui.

Among the descendants of the Li family in Xixia, this Li Sui can be regarded as one of the best, and he has never seen that he would have such ambitions and means?

"All of this is not important anymore. There are dozens of state capitals in Daxia. Now it seems that only Xiliang Prefecture and Zhongxing Prefecture are left. The Mongols have already occupied most of the territory."

"As a conservative person, Li Wei can still be used. Asking him to drive out powerful enemies and reorganize the Great Xia is tantamount to a dream."

Li Zunxu looked a little lonely.

When he was still in power, he wandered back and forth between Mongolia and Dajin many times, whether he was obsequious or obedient, all in order to continue the foundation left by his ancestors.

Do you think he is willing to step down from the position of the king of a country?

Can be a king, who cares to be the emperor?

Unfortunately, between the continuation of the Great Xia and personal honor and disgrace, he still chose the former.

Even though he gave up the throne to his son Li Dewang, Li Zunxu still worried about Da Xia, whether it was the courteous treatment of His Royal Highness King Yan of the Song Dynasty, or the retirement in An'an alone, or the "Princess Yincheng".

However, even after doing this, his son died unexpectedly.

"Emperor Taishang, please order me to go to the Zhongxing Mansion now and bring back the heads of Li Wei and Tuoba Hong—"

The "Vulture" Yu Chixuan at the side heard the whole process clearly. He was originally considered a steady person, but it was difficult to suppress the anger in his heart.

"Forget it, Daxia may die overnight, so what do I want Li Sui's head for?"

"However, this old man really wants to bother Commander Yuchi to take a trip to the Zhongxing Mansion. Don't do anything else, just pick up my poor grandchildren and escort them all the way to Lin'an."

It is impossible to deny that Li Zunxu is interested in Daxia's throne, but it is difficult to say how much love or responsibility he has for Daxia.

After all, Li Zunxu also abolished Xia Xiangzong Li Anan back then, and then he became emperor himself.

Therefore, when he heard Yu Chinan's narration, his first reaction was that Li Sui poisoned and killed his son Li Dewang, and then established himself as emperor.

Is this karma?

But, why should the retribution be on my son?

The so-called ruin of the country and the death of the family, since the Great Xia Kingdom is no longer safe, let's take care of my grandson.

After deliberation, "Fairy of Scattered Flowers" Liu Yiniang stayed in Lin'an to accompany Princess Murong and protect the Supreme Emperor.

And "Vulture" Yuchixuan and "Kaibei Zhang" Lei De, with Yuchinan and Yuchibei brothers, returned to Zhongxing Mansion to find a way to bring Li Dewang's youngest sons to Lin'an.

When "Vulture" Yu Chixuan was about to leave, Li Zunxu, who had calmed down, called Yu Chixuan into the study again.

Li Zunxu picked up a square seal from the table, thought for a while and wrote an imperial edict with his own hand, and handed it to Yu Chixuan.

"Commander Yuchi, when you arrive at the Zhongxing Mansion, if you can be sure that Li Wei sent someone to poison Wang'er, you will show the imperial seal and imperial edict to the civil and military courts of the Manchu Dynasty, and you will regret Li Wei's sins, and make Li Deyan, the 'Princess of Yincheng' Great Xia Empress."

"Your Majesty?—"

Before "Vulture" Yu Chixuan could receive the order, Murong Qiudi who was beside him called out in surprise.

"Taishanghuang, why do you need to do this again? In this way, didn't you put Yan'er on the fire? Let her be a woman to bear the infamy of Daxia's destruction of the country?"

"Hahaha——Di'er, if you want to wear the crown, you must bear its weight, maybe it's not necessarily a curse? Da Xia is already like this, and Wang'er is dead. What else can I not dare to do?"

Li Zunxu still stubbornly gave the imperial seal and imperial edict to the "Vulture" Yu Chixuan, and repeatedly told him that everything should be focused on rescuing a few princes, ensuring that the princes are safe, and then doing other things.

"Vulture" Yu Chixuan and his party of four left the Li Mansion and headed all the way to Xixia Zhongxing Mansion.

Three days had passed since this incident, and Xue Ji, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, reported to Li Zunxu's mansion.

It wasn't that Lao Xueji delayed on purpose, but that the information they received was one step too late.

The official Zhao Kuo's information was sent to Lu Chengfeng in Yinzhou by people from "Tingfeng".

After Guo Mo and others received the urgent report, studied the plan, and dispatched troops, they collected all the news again and reported to Lin'an.

The brothers Yuchinan and Yuchibei were not the same. After the death of Li Dewang, king of Xixia, they felt that they could no longer stay in Zhongxing Mansion as soon as the new king Li Sui was elected.

The two rode directly on two fast horses and came to Lin'an non-stop all the way, only two or three days earlier than the Song Dynasty's military report.

......

Luoyang City, Yanwang Mansion.

Spring is always short. After the peonies are in full bloom, hot summer is coming before everyone can enjoy watching them.

On the martial arts training field of Prince Yan's Mansion, it was really in full swing.

In such weather, if they stayed in the "Dunwu Hall" to practice martial arts, these guys would feel bored.

Besides, it was considered Xiaolongnv's exclusive practice room, so except for little Guo Xiang who followed her every day, it was natural for others not to bother her.

Guo Mo asked people to pull up a large piece of white gauze over the huge training ground. After several adjustments, it could not only isolate part of the heat, but also ensure the light.

Everyone thought this was a good idea, but Guo Mo was not very satisfied. Unfortunately, he really had no place to find the exclusive heat insulation material of the later generations, so let's make do with it.

Feng Ge and Ye Qu are two juniors, Lu Guanying is his nephew, Li Zhichang and Cui Zhifang are guest ministers, plus his second disciple Wu Nantian.

Strictly speaking, the gap between the six is ​​not too big, Li Zhichang and Lu Guanying are slightly stronger, and the other four are between brothers.

Whether it's a junior, nephew or apprentice, they are all on their own, so Guo Mo will inevitably be stricter.

Especially in the past seven or eight days, and the latest military situation of Xixia has not been reported for a long time, Guo Mo is unavoidably a little irritable, and the amount of training arranged for these boys is even greater.

Everyone also understood his feelings, no one dared to bargain, and practiced in a serious manner, especially Wu Nantian, who was only an apprentice, he couldn't embarrass his master.

One day, two days, three days...

After another five days, Zhao Rushu and old Cheng Huan came to the training ground hand in hand.

"Your Highness—"

"Your Highness—"

"Both, is there any news about Xi Xia?"

Seeing the two elders rushing forward, beads of sweat appeared on their foreheads, Guo Mo hurriedly asked.

It's just past time now, and it's not yet time for Guo Mo to go to the "Hall of Heroes" to look at the information. The arrival of these two people is destined to be a big event.

"Your Highness, there is indeed a military report from Meng Dutong in Xixia, but the most urgent thing is that you should meet an old friend from the south first."

Zhao Rushu had the Communist Party's military newspaper in his hand, but he didn't hand it over to Guo Mo directly. Before they came, they happened to meet someone who came to Yan Wang's mansion to look for Guo Mo.

The two brought him to the small flower hall in the front yard, and after inquiring about it in detail, they felt that this matter was more worthy of discussion.

They had already read the military newspaper of the Meng Communist Party, and apart from a little shock, there was nothing urgent.

Therefore, the two agreed that the King of Yan should be allowed to meet this person first.

"Old man? From the south?"

Guo Mo didn't understand the meaning of the two elders, do you need to come to me together when you meet someone?

Seeing that the two refused to speak, Guo Mo did not continue to ask.

Let those boys continue to practice, and then I followed the elders to the Xiaohua Hall.
