There is a black lotus in the deep palace

Chapter 238

Sure enough it was her.

Xia Houjing watched the bright red figure coming from outside the tent, with quick steps and piercing eyes, his eyes were slightly shocked, and an unknown complex emotion also quietly surged in his heart.

Some are happy, some are worried, and there is a little bit of fear, wait, what is he afraid of?
"So it's Princess Ansaiya!" King Ping greeted.

Some time ago, the news that Ansaiya, the little princess of the Tubo tribe who had a good relationship with the Great Xia Dynasty, stayed in the capital for her sweetheart was widely circulated, and even if he never left home, he had already heard about it.

He had only met him once from a distance, and he didn't pay attention to it. Now that he looked closely at this person, he found that this little princess had such a boldness.

She was wearing a red dress, with a red and gold-trimmed belt that made her waist thin and straight. She stepped on red sheepskin boots and walked swiftly.

Because she walked fast, the neat skirt fluctuated with her steps, looking very free and easy.

Her big watery eyes showed anxiety, worry, and the exhaustion of traveling thousands of miles, eating and sleeping in the open. Her cheeks were flushed red from the cold, and even rough dry skin appeared in several places, as if it was about to crack.

Even so, he still saw an inexplicable spirit and perseverance in her.

'What a Tubo princess! ’ King Ping praised in his heart, and turned his gaze to Xia Houjing beside him.

But before he could speak, Xia Houjing asked with a sullen face.

"How did you come?"

Ansai first saluted King Ping politely, and then took out Li Taipin's token: "I was asked by the concubine Li, she is worried about your safety, let me take a look!"

Xia Houjing didn't even look at the token, but shifted her eyes to the side with an uncomfortable expression.

"This king knows!"

The concubine mother didn't cause such trouble for him for no reason, she must have come by herself.

Ansai lowered her head, suddenly not knowing what to say.

"Cough! I suddenly remembered that I still have something to do, so I'm leaving first. You guys talk slowly!" The usually serious King Ping rarely slowed down his expression, coughed lightly, and then left.

In the small tent, only Xia Houjing and An Saiya were left.

Ansaiya glanced at him secretly, thinking that she had escaped from his men, she felt a little guilty, she wrung her fingers and stood aside with her head down, whispering.

"Well, I'm sorry, I'm really worried about you!" She said the most frank words carefully.

Xia Houjing felt inexplicably complicated again, and he frowned a little annoyed.

"The king didn't say anything!"

After thinking for a while, he added another sentence: "This is the front line, it's very dangerous, I'm fine, you go back and tell Concubine Mother so that she doesn't have to worry!"

"Go back?" Ansaiya blinked her eyes a little puzzled, she finally came here, so she won't go back.

"Why, do you want to stay here?" Xia Houjing's face darkened completely.

"I... I won't make trouble for you, nor will I distract you. I'm here to help you. I know where the enemy's weaknesses are. I can help you!"

"You?" Xia Houjing looked at her suspiciously.

Ansaiya nodded firmly: "Our Tubo tribe borders the barbarians. I have dealt with them for so many years, and I know better than you. I will definitely be able to help if I stay!"

She looked at him eagerly, until she saw him nodding slowly, then she smiled brightly.

"I knew you would agree!"

She jumped up with a smile, her smile was so bright, in the front tent that had been surrounded by haze for a long time, there was an illusion that there was something bright in the dark.

"Okay!" Xia Houjing's voice softened rarely.

"Conditions on the front line are difficult, I will try my best to arrange a place for you to live in!" Xia Houjing was a little afraid to look at her smiling face, and kept her eyes fixed on the coarse porcelain teacup in hand.

"No, no, it's best if I live in the tent closest to you, I don't dislike it!" Her little hands were white, with a very free and easy look.

Xia Houjing felt something melted in her heart, but when she felt it carefully, there was nothing unusual.

……

Ansaiya didn't mention any other requests, except for this one request, which he couldn't refuse, so he agreed with an uncomfortable expression.

That night, before he fell asleep, he was still a little uneasy, thinking that this person had always been unruly, so he wouldn't sneak in while he was sleeping to make trouble.

However, he was wrong in the end.

The little girl worked hard all the way, so she took a rest early after dinner.

He was restless in the middle of the night, waiting for nothing, and when he finally fell asleep, he was even slightly disappointed.

He didn't realize it himself, let alone where the loss came from, but no matter how small the loss was, it still existed.

In the early morning of the next day, Ansaiya washed up early, had breakfast, and came to the discussion camp ahead.

Today's battle situation is still stalemate. The colder the weather, the lack of food on both sides dare not act rashly. They can only occasionally send a small team of vanguards to fight, and the large army is still there.

One can't attack for a long time, and the other defends the city to the death. This is a tug of war.

The atmosphere was still heavy, and it was rare for Ansaiah to sit aside and listen to the soldiers who were on duty last night coming in one by one to report the situation.

After reporting that there was no change anywhere, everyone in the discussion camp fell silent.

They can't attack and can't defend, they still can only stay where they are, how long will this kind of life last?

Prince Ping and Xia Houjing's faces were both ugly, and neither of them spoke.

"Unlucky, it lasts until the heavy snowfall, good luck, we win by the beginning of next spring!" Ansaiya suddenly said.

"What do you mean?" Xia Houjing looked at her.

"What the barbarians are most afraid of is the heavy snow. Their parents are cattle and sheep. If they encounter a snowstorm and the cattle and sheep freeze to death, they can't stand it. They will jump the wall in a hurry, and there will be a fierce battle."

"If we're lucky, they can still consume energy, and we'll win in the beginning of spring!"

Everywhere in the spring is green and yellow, but the Great Xia Dynasty is a huge country, I don't know how many times better than the barbarians, they can afford it, and Satisfaction must not be able to afford it.

"So... it's a good thing to be exhausted?" It was the first time King Ping heard such a point of view.

What they have been thinking these days is how to defeat the opponent and disintegrate the opponent with less victory and more defeat. They have never thought about consumption. Now that they think about it, is this a good idea?

"His Royal Highness Prince Ping has never been to the north, so naturally he doesn't know much about it. In fact, the other party is more afraid of freezing here than we are, but they have nothing to do."

Although there are many people, they cannot be attacked.

Yongguan City has been cleaned up like an iron bucket by General Tang in recent years. The wall is as thick as half a mountain, and it is as high as the top of Baizhang Mountain. You have to look up hard to see the top.

There is a defender in three steps, and a sentry post in five steps.

Changing defenses, patrolling, defending, reconnaissance, everything is in an orderly and orderly manner, they can't even insert a needle, it is easy to defend but difficult to attack.
