Heavy snow has blocked the mountains, making many places impassable to horses.
Returning to the Imperial Capital from Mingzhou, the brother and sister Song Xuan had been walking for a full month. When they approached the borders of the Imperial Capital, the New Year was almost here.
Looking at the ancient and majestic huge capital from a distance, Song Xuan reined in his horse and stood still. This huge empire gave him a feeling of decay and decadence.

The war horse under Song Qian seemed to have stepped on something. She looked down and saw a frozen corpse under the horse's hooves.
Song Qian turned over and dismounted, touched the body, then shook her head and said: "It's dead! Judging from the clothes, it should be an ordinary person. If you go out in this weather, you will die in the snow if you don't do it right."
As she said this, she said helplessly: "On the way, we encountered bodies that were frozen to death on the roadside, and there were as many as eighty if not a hundred.
Unexpectedly, this is also the case in the imperial capital! "
Song Xuan was speechless. It was difficult for him to change anything in this situation.
Even in the modern society before he traveled through time, many people would be killed or injured every time due to freezing temperatures, floods, etc., let alone this feudal era.
The territory of the Great Zhou Dynasty is too large. As a world of martial arts, the heaven and earth are full of spiritual energy, and the yield of crops is extremely high. When there is no shortage of food, the population is simply astronomical.
There are too many people. For the powerful class, the life and death of ordinary people are really no different than ants.
Looking up at the sky, snowflakes began to fall again in the sky.
He took a deep breath and said, "This year's wind and snow are particularly heavier than in previous years."
Perhaps, this is the ecological environment that has begun to affect the entire world after the dragon veins of Yizhou were cut off.
He casually slapped his palm on the ground, and a big pit appeared in the snow. Song Xuan rolled up his sleeves and robe, and the invisible force rolled the corpse on the ground mixed with mud into the pit.
When they meet by chance, the only thing he can do is to let them bury them in peace.
"Let's go!"
After disposing of the corpse, the two of them walked towards the ancient city in the distance, facing the wind and snow.
.....
A big event happened in Qingzhou, but for the people of the imperial capital, life seemed not to be affected at all.
Unlike the people in Mingzhou, here, even an ordinary person has a smile on his face, a bit of pride in his smile, and even more light in his eyes.
At the feet of the emperor, the land of sages, these people are born with a sense of superiority.
After entering the imperial capital, Song and Xuan tied the Xuanyi guard badge around their waists, and then went straight to the inspection department's Yamen.
"Brother Xuan is back?"
Song Xuan also knew the two people on duty outside the yamen. They were Lu Xiaoliu and Lao Niu. They hadn't seen each other for a year and he was already in a high position. The two were still third-class Xuanyi guards and were still hanging around in Xianyu.
Song Xuan smiled and said hello, then his eyes fell on Lao Niu's burly body like an iron tower, "I heard that you are getting married?"
Lao Niu's dark face was actually a little shy, "Yes, the marriage was arranged by my family."
"Looking at you, you should be very satisfied."
songs I’ll cover the cost!”
"Brother Xuan, this is impossible!"
The old cow shook his head like a rattle, and even looked around subconsciously, for fear that what Song Xuan just said would be overheard by others.
Song Xuan raised his eyebrows, "Why, do we brothers still use polite words between us?"
"It's not polite, it's really not polite!"
Lao Niu's face turned red from holding back, and he looked like he was hesitant to speak. He looked very troubled.
"What's going on?" Song Xuan looked at Lu Xiaoliu.
Lu Xiaoliu laughed loudly, pointed at Lao Niu and said with a smile, "This guy married the daughter of a general, and his martial arts is even better than Lao Niu.
Dare he take a concubine? My sister-in-law gave him a discount on her legs! "
"Old Niu, you can't do this!"
Song Xuan laughed and patted his shoulder, "I'll teach you some powerful kung fu later. I'm sure to make her submissive and restore your husband's integrity!"
Song Qian was bored and listened to her brother bragging.
You haven't even slept with a woman yourself, but you have the nerve to teach others how to revive their husbands?
Lu Xiaoliu approached Song Qian with a playful smile, "Sister Xiaoqian, have you ever met a man you like after staying in Mingzhou for so long?"
Song Qian rolled her eyes at him, "Man, it will only affect my speed of drawing the sword!"
Lu Xiaoliu gave a thumbs up, "Our sister Qian is still amazing! This level of thought is far beyond what ordinary people like us can compare with."
After chatting about the situation in the imperial capital at the door, a general general quickly walked over and led Song and Xuan towards Zhao Dezhu's official office.
"Uncle Zhao!"
As soon as he entered the door, Song Xuan shouted with a smile on his face, then took a bundle from Song Qian's hand and placed it on Zhao Dezhu's desk.
"I wonder if Uncle Zhao likes some local specialties brought from Mingzhou."
Zhao Dezhu waved his hand, "Let's not do this between uncles and nephews."
Zhao Dezhu didn't seem to be interested in the gifts on the table, and whispered: "If you are interested, you can bring some health supplements to me last time."
"What health products?" Song Qian asked curiously.
Zhao Dezhu coughed lightly, "Nothing... By the way, you should know why I called you back this time, right?"
Song Xuan nodded, "Uncle Zhao, how is the situation in Qingzhou?"
"The situation is not optimistic."
Zhao Dezhu sighed and said: "Qingzhou Mu Huang Taiji is very well prepared. Nine of the twelve prefectures in one state are under his control. The remaining three prefectures are basically only a matter of time.
Last month, he had changed his name to Huang Taiji and established the Qing Dynasty. The emperor was very angry because of this! "
Song Xuan frowned. The situation in Qingzhou collapsed much faster than he expected.
"How's the situation with the Xuanyi guards in Qingzhou?"
Zhao Dezhu shook his head, "Most of the twelve thousand households died, and the rest escaped by luck.
The Qingzhou side is not very powerful, and there are not many innate masters. Therefore, the Qianhu who are stationed there are relatively weak, and there are not many powerful innates.
After Huang Taiji rebelled, several innate masters from the Law Enforcement Department in Qingzhou went to assassinate him, but they all died on the spot. There were masters guarding the opponent. "
Song Xuan was not surprised by this.
The martial arts master couldn't get in, and the Xuanyi guards on the Qingzhou side really couldn't do anything against Mu Taoren's group of masters.
Not to mention that Mu Daoren himself is a top master who has condensed the two innate flowers, and now he is assisting Huang Taiji in establishing the country. With the national destiny added, it is hard to say what extent his strength will be.
If the third flower is really condensed with the help of national luck, in Qingzhou, in the innate realm, this person can really be said to be invincible.
Even I don't dare to say that I am absolutely sure that I can deal with the other party!
