After sending Dow away, Lu Wanning took a nap in the bedroom. After waking up, Lu Wanning found that the room was very dark.

Lu Wanning thought she slept through the night.

She blinked and opened the bed curtain only to realize that the sky had changed.

Pulling on her shoes, she walked to the window, pushed the window open with both hands, a gust of cold wind hit, and Lu Wanning shivered unconsciously.

Hearing the movement, Qingzhi came in with warm water and hurriedly put down the warm water in his hand and walked over to help Lu Wanning put on her clothes, saying: "Master, it's getting cold outside, servant girl will help you put on your clothes first."

"En." Lu Wanning nodded, and got dressed under Qing Zhi's service.

The gloomy weather made the light in the palace very dim.

Lu Wanning picked up the book and read it, then put it back.

"Mother Concubine, Mother Concubine..."

The fourth princess hadn't entered the room yet, but the voice had already come in.

"Slow down." Lu Wanning watched the fourth princess running over and warned softly.

After the fourth princess ran to Lu Wanning's side, Lu Wanning looked at the clothes the fourth princess was wearing, and then touched the fourth princess's little hands. Seeing that the fourth princess's little hands were warm, she smiled and taught the fourth princess how to play chess.

It is said that it is teaching the fourth princess to play chess, but in fact the fourth princess knows how to play chess at such a young age, but she is just playing with the fourth princess.

Half an hour later, the raindrops of "Papapa..." fell, beating on the roof and leaves.

Lu Wanning watched the fourth princess mess up the chess pieces on the chessboard, smiled and rubbed her hair, and said, "Chun'er, are you not going to play?"

The fourth princess nodded, pointed to the outside and said: "Mother Concubine, go outside to play."

"It's raining outside, so I can't go outside to play right now, mother and concubine will read to Chun'er, okay?" Lu Wanning said.

The fourth princess shook her head, "I don't read, but listen to the piano."

Lu Wanning smiled, and agreed: "Okay, mother concubine plays the piano for Chun'er."

The sound of the rain outside the house was getting louder, and the sound of the piano was faintly heard in the house. Under the eaves, the two court ladies Shu Bai and Yan Lu watched the raindrops falling continuously and whispered.

"The sky suddenly changed. I thought it would snow, but I didn't expect it to rain." Yan Lu said.

Shu Bai stretched out his hand to catch the falling raindrops, and said with a smile, "It's not November yet, so it shouldn't be snowing for a while."

In previous years, the first snowfall in central Beijing was usually in mid-November.

At this time, the first snow has fallen on the border between Xirong and Dayong, which are far away from Beijing.

The fine snow particles fell on the camp tent and quickly turned into water.

In the big tent in the middle, Luo Chengjing sat behind the table, and on both sides were the generals of the He family army who were originally guarding Xirong, and the generals brought by Luo Chengjing from Beijing.

"Are all the soldiers ready?" Luo Chengjing looked at the generals on both sides and asked in a deep voice.

General He No. 1 in Luo Chengjing's left hand nodded and said: "Go back to the emperor, the soldiers are ready to go at any time."

"Okay." Luo Chengjing looked at General He and said, "Then I will wait here for General He to return in triumph."

"The minister will not disgrace his life." General He said.

In the evening, at the Dayong camp, a group of He's troops who lined up neatly left the camp under the leadership of the generals, heading towards the camp where the Xirong army was stationed.

When General He disappeared into Dayong's camp with his army, Lu Qian and a young general entered Luo Chengjing's camp.

"Has everything been arranged?" Luo Chengjing asked, turning his gaze to the two of them from the huge sand table in the tent.

The young general Mu Ze said: "Going back to the emperor, everything has been arranged. This time, the Xirong army will definitely be able to come and go."

"Yeah." Luo Cheng nodded, then looked at Lu Qian again.

Lu Qian bowed his head and said respectfully: "The evidence about He Xiangming's collusion with the enemy and treason has also been collected."

"Okay." Luo Chengjing nodded in satisfaction.

He Xiangming has been secretly cooperating with the Xirong Kingdom for these years. The reason why Dayong and the Xirong Kingdom have fought many times but has not completely defeated the Xirong Kingdom is that He Xiangming is deliberately conniving the Xirong Kingdom to grow.

The reason why He Xiangming did this was because he was afraid that if the Xirong Kingdom was completely defeated, he, the general guarding Xirong, would be useless, and Luo Chengjing would force him to surrender his military power.

Luo Chengjing didn't notice these careful thoughts of He Xiangming before, but Luo Chengjing discovered some clues when He Xiangming showed his flaws in the rebellion of King Luo Chengxian of Qi.

After careful investigation, Luo Chengjing knew the real reason why Dayong and Xirong had been stalemate these years.

He Xiangming has gained a lot of benefits from Xirong Kingdom in recent years.

And He Xiangming did more than that, Zhongyonghou Shizi died in his hands.

Although it was King Qi who gave the order, it was He Xiangming's people who did it.

This time, after receiving the news that Luo Chengjing wanted to take the imperial conquest, He Xiangming discussed the plan with the Xirong people.

After Luo Chengjing's arrival, first let Dayong's army win consecutive victories, and the Xirong people pretended to be defeated. When Luo Chengjing thought that the victory was in his hands, He Xiangming opened the door for the Xirong people in the last and most important battle, so that Xirong's army easily broke into Dayong's barracks and killed Luo Chengjing.

Then He Xiangming drove Xirong's army out of Dayong's territory.

After that, He Xiangming, who holds the military power in his hand, will support the fifth prince, who is not yet one year old, to ascend the throne.

He Xiangming's plan was very good. If Luo Chengjing hadn't noticed it in advance, his plan might come true.

But since Luo Chengjing had already noticed He Xiangming's ambition, how could he send it to his door without making any preparations.

The reason for his personal conquest this time is to defeat Xirong, so that the people of Xirong will not dare to invade easily in the future. The other purpose is to get rid of He Xiangming, gather the military power in He Xiangming's hands, and let his own people take charge of the military power.

Therefore, when Xirong's army rushed to Dayong's camp, what awaited them was not the fruits of victory, but elite soldiers who had ambushed long ago.

Defeat was the fateful end of the Xirong army.

The general of the Xirong army led the remnant soldiers to finally break out of the encirclement, throwing off the pursuers behind them, but almost lost their way in the snowstorm.

Behind a low slope leeward of the wind, General Xirong took a sip of cold water in his water bag in embarrassment, looked at the few Xirong soldiers left behind him, and cursed viciously: "Cunning Dayong people, It’s so dishonest.”

"The general thinks it was General He who betrayed our agreement?" asked a confidant next to the general.

"If it wasn't for him, why would there be so many elite soldiers ambushing Dayong's barracks?" General Xirong said, "I have told the king that the people of Dayong are treacherous and cunning, and I can't believe the promises of the people of Dayong, but the king is Dazed by the city and food promised by the guy surnamed He, he insisted on cooperating with the guy surnamed He."

This time, Xirong suffered heavy losses.
