    This is the rare heavy snowfall in the mainland in the past hundred years. This snow not only turned the Yan Kingdom into a world covered in silver, but also prevented the continuation of the war. When the snow first fell, the north and south gates of Lihuo City were attacked.  , in the remaining time, neither Ye Ruoshui's army nor Mo Xiaomang's army attacked the city.

    The sky was slightly bright, the snow suddenly stopped, and there was a thick layer of snow piled on the ground inside and outside the city wall.

    The guard at the south gate of Lihuo City left the stove and stepped on the snow to the city wall. After scolding the soldiers hiding under the eaves a few times, he forgot to glance at the south and became excited instantly, and then started shouting.  He stood up: "The rebels have withdrawn."

    After hearing the guard's words, the soldiers who were shivering with cold came to the city wall and looked at the troops who were packing up their things and evacuating south. Waves of cheers soon came from the city wall, and soon Ye Ruoshui began to retreat.  The news reached the Lihuo City Palace. Lu Tianxing was delighted when he heard the news: "Where is the Mangguo army?"

    "There is no news yet." Zhang Duanzhang opened his mouth: "Mang Guo and Ye Ruoshui are colluding. Now that Ye Ruoshui has retreated, they will not attack the city for the time being."

    "Where will they retreat to?" Lu Tianxing nodded and asked.

    "The snow is too heavy and the weather is bad. They may have to retreat to Xiliang City." Zhang Duanzhang said and looked to the south: "They will rest during this period. When they come to invade again in the spring, I am afraid it will be a life-and-death fight.  "

    "How long can the food and grass in Lihuo City last?" Lu Tianxing fell silent after hearing Zhang Duanzhang's words.

    "It won't last three months." Zhang Duanzhang frowned slightly and said, "With hundreds of thousands of mouths, the consumption is very staggering."

    "It will be very detrimental to us if this continues." Lu Tianxing slowly sat down on the chair, lowered his head and remained silent for a moment, then raised his head and looked at Zhang Duanzhang: "Is there any news from the tribe?"

    "There is no news from the Crown Princess or Wang Shame Flower." Zhang Duanzhang said and looked at Lu Tianxing: "Your Majesty, if the Crown Princess has selfish motives"

    "Behind Mangguo is the city of the tribes. If there is no movement from Mo Xiao, order someone to send a message to the Crown Princess, telling her to come with her troops and join me in attacking from both inside and outside to eliminate Mangguo's army first.  Said Lu Tianxing, a cold light flashed in his eyes: "If she dares to disobey orders, go to the tribe and kill her."

    Zhang Duanzhang nodded. At this moment, a eunuch came to report outside the door, saying that the guard of the north gate of the city was coming. After ordering the eunuch to bring people in, the guard of the north gate knelt down when he saw Lu Tianxing, and then took the north gate to the north gate.  The news that Mo Xiao and others from the city gate led their troops to retreat came out.

    "Mo Xiao has also withdrawn his troops?" After hearing the news, Lu Tianxing looked at Zhang Duanzhang: "They crossed the tribes and came here, will they be so willing to withdraw their troops?"

    Zhang Duanzhang shook his head in silence.

    "When you return to the North City Gate, you should always pay attention to the movements of the Mangguo army, and then send people to keep an eye on them." After Lu Tianxing finished speaking, when he saw the city defender leaving, he turned to look at Zhang Duanzhang: "I don't think things are that simple.  .¡±

    "At least it's safe for the time being." Zhang Duanzhang paused as he said: "I will order people to go to the south to inquire about Ye Ruoshui and the others, and then I will send people to contact the people in Tianlong Pavilion. Next, I will send people to the city.  There is a problem of food and grass, and I think Ye Ruoshui and the others are also having a headache about this problem now."

    Lu Tianxing hummed, and Zhang Duanzhang smiled at this time: "After Ye Ruoshui settles down in Xiliang City, I will burn their food and grass."

    Hearing Zhang Duanzhang¡¯s words, Lu Tianxing laughed: ¡°That¡¯s fine, but the guards in the palace must be strengthened.¡±

    "Your Majesty, it is best to hide your whereabouts from now on. This way, even if there are practitioners who want to come and cause trouble, they may not be able to find anyone and their whereabouts may be exposed."

    "I will consider it." Lu Tianxing nodded, then looked outside: "I can finally breathe a sigh of relief."

    The armies of Ning State and Tianshui State, led by Ye Ruoshui and Qi Luoge, withdrew towards Xiliang City. Some of the injured were supported by their companions, and some were riding standing horses. The soldiers' faces were full of fatigue, and they stepped on the ground.  Under half a foot of snow, many people were shivering from the cold.

    Those dead soldiers were burned on the order of Ye Ruoshui.

    Qian Duoduo and his party walked at the back of the team. The children of Lu Renjia and Su Tu did not realize that the killing was close to them. They just ran around the snow, throwing snowballs at each other, watching the children playing, and Su Tu  Tu held the hand of the woman next to him tightly, while Lu Renjia held the arm of the woman next to him. Qian Duoduo held a cloth bag in his hand, which contained the food Qi Luoge sent yesterday and some money.

    Looking back at Lihuo City, Qian Duoduo¡¯s expression turned a little gloomy.Smelling the smell of burning corpses in the air, Qian Duoduo wondered whether he could survive here, but thinking about meeting Aunt Sun and others in Xiliang City made Qian Duoduo feel better.  a little.

    ¡°At least he¡¯s still alive,¡± Qian Duoduo thought to himself to comfort himself.

    At the front of the team were Ye Ruoshui and Qi Luoge. They rode horses and did not talk to each other, but just walked silently. In front of them was the white snow, but as they walked  After a while, the ground quickly became muddy.

    The sun finally showed half of its face, but the temperature did not make them feel warm.

    "Why did Mo Xiao say that they would wait until spring before attacking the city? During this period, Lihuo City is allowed to recuperate. I'm afraid it will be even harder to attack the city by then." After taking a look at the people in front of him, Shangguan Haoyu said to Zhai Rongguang who was standing aside.  asked quietly.

    ¡°To attack the city in this weather is like going to death for the soldiers.¡± Zhai Rongguang replied softly: ¡°In addition, several high-ranking officials in Mang State were killed, so Mo Xiao has to go back to stabilize the situation.¡±

    "The defenders of Lihuo City are not feeling well either." Shangguan Haoyu sighed and said, "Who did it?"

    "It should be the fault of the tribe." Zhai Rongguang said as he remembered something and said, "Isn't Wang Shaanhua over there? He has the strength."

    Hearing Zhai Rongguang¡¯s words, Shangguan Haoyu nodded.  Guan Xiufu on the side said at this time: "There are only less than 100,000 people left on our side, and Mangguo has also suffered heavy losses. Even if Lihuo City is captured, the problems we will face afterwards will be troublesome.  "

    "How do you think Du Linlou is doing now?" Zhai Rongguang looked at the two of them and said softly.

    "I'm afraid we have to leave it to fate." Shangguan Haoyu replied helplessly.

    A few people were chatting when Ye Ruoshui turned around and called Zhai Rongguang, and Zhai Rongguang drove his horse to Ye Ruoshui.

    "After arriving at Xiliang City, you go to Ningguo to find Su Qin and ask him to lead his troops to Xiliang City."

    "If the young master doesn't listen to my advice" Zhai Rongguang asked, thinking of some possibility.

    "If he doesn't come." Ye Ruoshui turned his head and glanced at Lu Zhenyu before replying: "Just say I'm going to die."
