Chapter 997: The Northern Territory is willing to surrender
Song Heng, who was wearing armor, had just stepped into the courtyard gate when he saw Shen Wan, who was wearing a red cloak, standing in the corridor holding the boy An, who was also wearing a red cloak, looking at Hui'er and Hui'er who were building snowmen in the yard with smiling eyes. Qiu Ju.
The sky and the earth were snow-white, and she, wearing a red cloak, was like a red plum blooming in the snow and frost. She was as beautiful as a painting, and he couldn't help but be fascinated by it.
After watching for a while, he came back to his senses and walked towards them.
"General," seeing him coming back, Qiu Ju and Hui'er hurriedly stopped making snowmen and blessed him.
Song Heng nodded slightly and was about to speak when he heard his son calling in his baby voice: "Daddy~" and leaning toward him, as if he wanted him to hug him.
The armor on his body was so cold that if he hugged An An, it would freeze him.
So he looked at his son with a smile and said, "Daddy will change your clothes and hug you again."
After saying that, he said to Shen Wan in a warm voice: "It's cold outside, and you're afraid of the cold, so you'd better go inside first! When they've finished piling them up, you can come out and take a look."
Shen Wan was startled for a moment, nodded, and carried the boy into the house.
Song Heng went inside and took off his armor and put on a dark purple cotton robe.
"Daddy~" Seeing him coming out of the inner room, Xiao Zi'an called out again.
Song Heng walked over and took his son An from Shen Wan's arms.
Song Heng walked around the room twice with his son in his arms, and Shen Wan looked at them with a smile the whole time.
Hui'er and Qiu Ju finished building the snowman, and Shen Wan took the boy An out to take a look.
Boy An liked it very much and reached out to touch the snowman. When he touched the biting cold snow queen, he shook his head and bared his teeth, which made Shen Wan and others happy.
At noon, Shen Wan asked Qiu Ju to make a hot soup pot, which was made with chicken as the base.
There are no green vegetables in this winter, so what is cooked is radish and some soaked dried mushrooms.
After it was ready, he invited Qiao Mu and Prince Yun to come to their courtyard to eat together.
Although the troops in the Northern Territory have withdrawn, Song Heng and the others still did not relax their vigilance. The defenses were still tight and they would conduct inspections sooner or later.
In the blink of an eye, it's November 11th, and this is Song Heng's deadline for the Northern Territory.
In the morning, Yeluye sent someone to send Song Ziling outside the city gate.
He also said that the Northern Territory was willing to surrender and would send envoys to the imperial city of Dongchen Kingdom in half a month to sign a letter of surrender.
Shen Wan heard the report that Song Ziling had been released by the Northern Territory people, so she put on a cloak and hugged the tightly wrapped boy and waited at the gate.
There is still heavy snow falling in the sky, and the sky and the earth are completely white.
The sound of horse hoofbeats came from afar, and Shen Wan, who was holding Xiao An, stretched her neck.
Not long after, a group of people appeared on the street. Among them, a man wearing fur clothes stood out among the group of people wearing armor.
Although she couldn't see the face clearly, Shen Wan concluded that it was Zi Ling.
Seeing that he really came back safe and sound, Shen Wan's hanging heart was completely relieved.
Song Ziling also saw his mother holding her brother and waiting at the gate.
"drive!"
He pinched the horse's belly and urged the horse to run faster.
Soon he surpassed everyone. When he arrived at the gate of the General's Mansion, the horse had not yet stopped, so he got off the horse and ran up the steps.
"Mom, An'an."
The boy's eyes widened when he was surprised, and he called out in surprise: "Brother."
"Mom, I'm back."
Song Ziling stood in front of her mother and said softly.
Shen Wan looked at his face that was flushed by the wind and snow, patted the snowflakes on his shoulder, nodded excitedly and said, "It'll be good when you're back."
Song Ziling showed a big smile, nodded vigorously and said "hmm".
"Brother~" Seeing that his brother ignored him, Xiao Zian called out again with a pout on his lips.
