Chapter 673 Traitor
The place where the group of people docked was at a small beach called "Jiankou" to the east of Fenglingdu.

Looking up, there are indeed mountains in the north.

There are cavalry coming from the west, and the ships on the Yellow River are getting closer and closer as they go down the river.

The flag of the Mongolian army can already be seen clearly.

"I admire Feiyu in danger alone." Lian Xixian sighed and said, "It's a pity you died young."

"I don't know the situation in Shanxi." Li Xia was also looking at those banners, and said, "Brother Shanfu, can you tell me something?"

Lian Xixian didn't speak, turned his hands behind his back, and shook his head.

"Which army did Brother Shanfu arrange to surround and kill me?" Li Xia asked again.

"I brought back the boats on the Yellow River from Guanzhong." Lian Xixian said, "As for those cavalry, they are under the command of Xiezhou Yi's family."

"Yijia?"

Lian Xixian refused to answer.

He knows the whole Northland very well, of course he knows the information about Shanxi, but it is impossible to tell Li Xia.

……

46 years ago, Genghis Khan conquered Jin for the second time, and Emperor Xuanzong of Jin moved his capital to Bianliang. In Shanxi, a large number of generals and local tyrants of the Jin Kingdom joined Mongolia.

Afterwards, the private households in Shanxi were entrusted to the direct kings of the Jin family.

This "civilian household" refers to the tax. Every five households produce a catty of silk, which is called "five households". It is collected by the local princes every year and turned over to the Mongolian clan.

When Wo Kuotai was in power, he distributed the households to his two older brothers, Jochi, the descendants of Chataitai, and his younger sister Alahai.

Ala Hai is the third daughter of Genghis Khan, who is based in Jiuyuan City. She is known as the "princess of the prison country". thing".

During the Mengge period, the remaining households were entrusted to the descendants of the Tuo Lei family, including Du Mugan, Tuo Lei's daughter.

Dumugan is another princess after Ala Hai who has power in the Han court and Weizhen. She is younger than Meng Ge, but older than Kublai Khan.

The princes of Shanxi have been attached to these Mongolian princesses and clan relatives for a long time.

The children acted as protons when they were young, and served as bodyguards. After being trusted, they became officials in the court, or returned to Shanxi to inherit the throne.

Unlike Shi Tianze, Zhang Rou, Yan Shi, and Li Fen, the princes of Shanxi were so powerful that they "hidden like an enemy country", but small and scattered.

The Hao family in Taiyuan, the Liu family in Jianzhou, the Zhou family in Xinzhou, the Duan family in Zezhou, the Guo family in Xianzhou, the Li family in Fenzhou, the Du family in Qinzhou, the Ren family in Luzhou, the Wu family in Rong, and the Yi family in Xiezhou.

In the early days, their official positions were appointed by Alahai with Yizhi, and later they were mostly appointed by Dumugan.

Liu Ze of Jianzhou, Duan Shaoxian of Zezhou, Du Ze of Qinzhou...all served as guards under Princess Dumugan when they were young.

Now, Alahai is dead, and her son Aibuhua is engaged to Kublai Khan's daughter, and is accompanying the army to conquer Alibuge; Dumugan's husband, Nie Gutai, is also accompanying the army to conquer Alibuge.

All in all, the many and miscellaneous Shanxi princes were the confidants of Kublai Khan's closest family members who had been raising them for more than forty years.

Shanxi is the land of Kublai Khan's confidant, and he controls it very deeply.

……

Lian Xixian does not believe that Li Xia can deploy in Shanxi.

It is true that Liu Heima has the name of guarding Shanxi and Shaanxi, and he has also seconded Shanxi soldiers and horses.However, he was stationed in Fengxiang, led troops in Jingzhao and Shangzhou for many years, and seldom interfered in Shanxi affairs.

Here is Jiezhou, Pingyang Prefecture.

Pingyang Mansion is the fiefdom of Princess Dumugan, and Xiezhouyi's family is a loyal Mongolian dog.

And Li Xia had only been in Tongguan for more than half a month, yet he dared to come here alone, how could he escape?

The Mongolian ships were already galloping along the river, and there was a rain of arrows.

"Hold Song Kou!"

Li Xia didn't escape, and had already calmly led more than thirty sharp men to the shore.

The chasing ship leaned against the shore, blocked the boat's way, and broke down.

A soldier disembarked and ran towards this side through the water.

A large banner with the word "Yi" fluttered in the wind, and hundreds of people came, surrounded by more than [-] Song people from all directions.

"Hold Song Kou!"

The shouts became more and more urgent.

Lian Xixian was restrained, and a single knife was placed on his neck.

He didn't care, he just looked at Li Xia with doubts in his eyes.

Based on his understanding of Li Xia, he shouldn't be in danger without preparation.I thought there was a backup, but things have come to this point.

Li Xia had no chance of escaping.

It's absurd to kill Li Xia so lightly and skillfully...

The cavalry is within reach.

The sound of pulling the string was loud.

"Whoosh whoosh..."

Lian Xixian suddenly turned his head and stared.

He clearly saw that the arrows fired by the soldiers of the Yi family landed in front of the soldiers who were chasing from the boat.

There was an exclamation on the banks of the Yellow River, and many people shouted.

"What are you doing? Capture Song Kou!"

"We are under the orders of General Wulue of the Great Mongolian Kingdom and Yishuai, Jiedu Envoy of Xiezhou, to arrest and work carefully! Are you still not retreating?!"

"..."

Lian Xixian glanced over the figures of the soldiers of the Yi family, thinking for a while.

When the manpower and material resources were moved from Guanzhong to Shanxi, he had clearly talked with Yi Shu'an once, and agreed to guard against Li Xia.

But why?
Is it Yi Shu'an who wants to monopolize the credit?
It's too...

In a short time, dozens of riders rushed out from the Yi family's formation in front and rushed towards this side.

Dust and smoke hit the face, and a general drove out, shouting loudly.

"What's the trick?!"

Lian Xixian felt a strong force coming from his back, and he was pushed to the opponent's horse.

He looked up and saw that it was Yi Zhong, the general under Yi Shu'an's command, he was finally terrified.

For a moment, he thought that the Yi family had also voted for Li Xia?

It was impossible to react in an instant.

"Li Xia is right there, take it..."

"Take him!"

Yizhong yelled and pointed at Lian Xixian.

"You are being deceived by Song people..."

Seeing that Lian Xixian was about to rush forward, Yizhong was taken aback, quickly raised the big stick in his hand, and hit Lian Xixian on the head with the handle.

Lian Xixian was still struggling, and soldiers stepped forward to hold him down.

"Oh!"

Beat the blood.

"You got it, you Lian Xixian! Take it away!"

The soldiers of the Yi family hurriedly tied up the people and threw them on the horses.

Yizhong let out a long breath, and turned to the troops from Guanzhong on the bank of the Yellow River, his eyes became more solemn.

"Pass down the order, Lian Xixian is collaborating with the enemy and treason, whoever dares to follow him in rebellion will be executed together!"

Amidst the loud shouts, those Mongolian and Han soldiers from Chang'an were completely stunned.

……

From the beginning to the end, Li Xia just stood there silently, watching the chaos.

Dozens of cavalry have blocked up and surrounded them.

Yi Zhong just turned around and was about to speak when another loud roar sounded from behind.

"Wait! Who dares to touch my Zhang family warrior!"

After a while, an unarmored burly man drove out, first glanced coldly at Li Xia, and then reluctantly raised his finger.

"It was under my order that they brought traitors from Guanzhong."

"Yes, everyone under General Zhang's command is really extraordinary."

Zhang Yanxiong's face was extremely ugly, and he shouted: "Then what are you doing around here?! I will tell you the situation later."

He kicked the horse's belly self-consciously, pulled the rein and walked away.

Yizhong hurriedly drove his horse to follow.

"General Zhang calm down..."

"Since you got it, let Yi Shu'an come to see me! If you don't give the Zhang family an explanation for this matter, you will die forever!"

Zhang Yanxiong snorted, but waved his hand again.

The knights who surrounded Li Xia and the others rushed westward.

But there are more than [-] riders around.

Li Xia stood there all the time, until he heard a voice outside the encirclement.

"Get out of the way, don't touch him..."

Li Xia's eyes changed, and he stepped forward, passing through the formation of knights in front of him.

The edge of the blade was very close to him, yet he walked at a leisurely pace, not at all afraid that someone would chop him to death with a single stroke of the blade.

One by one, the knights pulled their horses out of the way...

Li Xia stopped.

I saw a girl dressed in men's clothes sitting on the horse in front of me. Because she was blocked by the horse, she had to lower her head and straighten the scarf on her head, her movements seemed a little nervous.

Looking up again, when she saw Li Xia, she was taken aback for a moment, then pursed her lips and smiled.

It's Zhang Wenjing.

Li Xia couldn't help but also smiled.

The surrounding noise died down.

The two people who looked at each other didn't say anything, and they seemed to have said everything.

In the end, Zhang Wenjing got the reminder and remembered what else to say.

"Um……"

She tried her best to restrain her expression, but she still couldn't hide the smile in her bright eyes. She cleared her throat, raised her voice, and said, "Yes, you have done a good job in this matter. You caught the traitor and cleared the country. The suspicion of the Zhang family."

At the end, he raised his head slightly and added another sentence.

"I will reward you."

She said something in an orderly tone, and couldn't help feeling a little proud.

Li Xia smiled, cupped her fists and said, "Thank you, Mr. Xiao Lang."

"Get on the horse, take the warriors with me, and report carefully when we reach the town."

……

Li Xia got on his horse and led the people to follow behind the Zhang family's team, heading west to the town of Fenglingdu.

At this time, the right side is full of peaks and mountains, the left side is like angry waves, and there are Mongolian soldiers and horses in front of and behind.

However, he didn't seem to see it, his eyes fell, and he saw Zhang Wenjing looking back from time to time in front of him.

Li Xia opened his mouth, but did not make a sound.

Zhang Wenjing naturally understood.

He said "don't look at me".

Zhang Wenjing hummed, and turned her head away, and the belt of the crown scarf shook slightly.

Li Xia looked at the gently shaking belt, and felt a burst of relief...
