"Dang!" Zhu Gaoxu put a brand new goose feather knife into its scabbard. The scabbard was inlaid with gold and looked very beautiful. His knives were often new because they would most likely be damaged on the battlefield.
Wang Gui bent over, held a new long-handled saber with a white handkerchief, and held it next to Zhu Gaoxu. Zhu Gaoxu also took it, wiped the butter off the blade with the white handkerchief, and slowly put it into the scabbard on his back while looking at the bronze mirror.
"Your Highness..." Wang Gui's voice was quite sad, "It's freezing cold, please take care of yourself!"
Zhu Gaoxu said casually, "The soldiers can bear it, so why can't I bear it?"
Although the Prince of Yan has won great victories in the past two years, his troops have barely been able to break through Hebei, and at most have reached Shandong; the territory that can actually be stably controlled is even less. If the Prince of Yan makes any mistakes at this time, Z
As night fell, the Yan army left the battlefield. King Yan, considering the fatigue of the soldiers and heavy casualties, decided not to fight with Ping An anymore, so he moved his camp overnight and headed north. It was not until midnight that the army set up camp, boiled water, cooked food, and rested.The snow stopped, the hustle and bustle of the day had disappeared, and only the faint groans of the wounded soldiers remained in the night.Zhu Gaoxu walked into the central army, and only then did he have time to talk to the Prince of Yan. He saluted first, clasped his fists and said, "The news that my father was in Dongchang spread to Beiping, and everyone in the family was very worried. My mother was the most worried, and she kept sighing and asking me to lead the troops to assist my father. After receiving the order, I rode non-stop and finally arrived."The King of Yan nodded and praised, "Gao Xu defeated Wu Jie's army in one battle, eliminating a big
According to the time, the first month of the lunar calendar is spring, but it is still cold in Beijing.Zhu Gaoxu finally crawled out of bed early in the morning, thinking it was just an ordinary day in the cold first month of the year. Then he was summoned to the Prince of Yan's mansion to discuss matters, and he also thought it was just an ordinary war arrangement...But as soon as he approached the front hall, he immediately felt something strange in the atmosphere. The hall was full of men in green clothes, wearing mail on their chests and weapons hanging around their waists, walking in different directions. It was hard for even a fly to fly in at this time.The last time I saw this kind of scene was when we were discussing military secrets, and it looks like this time will be no exception.The snow on the ground had not melted yet, but the snow on the stone steps in front of the hall had been swept away. The remaining snow foam mixed with the ash
Xu Miaojin was wearing a loose Taoist robe. When she reached the gate of the courtyard where the princess lived, she saw a eunuch standing guard. The eunuch bent over and said, "Master Chi Yue, wait a minute. The prince is in the princess' room and has something to say. How about you come back later?"Standing at the door, I could vaguely hear a quarrel or two coming from inside. The relationship between Prince Yan and Princess Xu has always been very good, so it is rare for something like this to happen. It must be that they were arguing."Okay." Xu Miaojin turned around and left without saying a word.The eunuch breathed a sigh of relief, "Thank you, Master Yuechi."Xu Miaojin walked around the garden, and when she came back, she saw the figure of King Yan walking away quickly from a distance. She then slowly walked towards the gate of the yard.The eunuch had left, so Xu Miaojin walked straight in. The door of the princess' room was not closed
The house was already shabby, and no one had lived in it since it was bought, let alone cleaned it. Zhu Gaoxu walked into the poorly lit main room and couldn't even find a place to sit. The shabby square wooden table and benches were all covered with dust.Wang Gui fetched some water and found a gray-black cloth whose original color could not be seen clearly. He washed it in the water for a while, wrung it dry, then came up and wiped the bench. Only then did Zhu Gaoxu sit down.Wang Gui then busied himself wiping the benches and the table, which gradually became cleaner. However, the rest of the main room was still very dirty, with footprints all over the dust on the floor....Somehow, Zhu Gaoxu recalled a small incident from his previous life.When he was in high school, he secretly went to Internet cafes to play games all night many times. One time, my cousin brought his girlfriend with him. She was a cute girl with a very strict family discipline. S
At the northernmost part of Prince Gaoyang's Mansion, there is a garden with illegal buildings. In the garden, near the gatehouse of the inner hall, there are several houses, one of which has a wine cellar.The cellar was originally stocked with wine, but now almost all of it has been moved away, and the few remaining jars are thrown in the corner. It is dimly lit here, and the light from the hole above can only illuminate a small area.Xu Miaojin's hands and feet were tied, and she sat on a chair covered with soft fur. The silk ball in her mouth had been taken out, and she could speak now, but she didn't say a word, just silently watching Zhu Gaoxu busying himself there.On the brick wall next to it, there was a diagram with some lines drawn on it. It seemed that Zhu Gaoxu was rebuilding according to this diagram. Not only had he designed it in advance, he also put it on the drawing. It can be said that he was very deliberate."This kind of cellar is
The ropes around Xu Miaojin's body had been untied, and she was pacing back and forth in this dark place, moving her numb hands and feet. Before King Gaoyang left, he bought a few more things, including candles, charcoal stoves, flints, and several wooden barrels with lids filled with well water.There is a thick curtain in the corner opposite the bed curtain, which should be the "changing" place.The newly dug vents are relatively small and located high. The only accessible place was the entrance to the wine cellar, and the stairs had been removed. Xu Miaojin looked up and observed that it was inaccessible without a ladder, and there were iron bars covering it, making it impossible to climb out.The entrance above is also where things inside and outside are exchanged through a rope. Xu Miaojin's future expenses and waste items to be sent out can only be exchanged through this place.In such a situation, it was difficult for her to escape. Besides, she
Spring in the south is a land of fresh green, with new grass growing, buds sprouting from treetops, and buds about to bloom.Dayuanba Village is dozens of miles away from the nearest Yugan County of Raozhou Prefecture. The water network here is dense, and there are countless winding rivers and streams. Canoes supported by bamboo poles and black-sailed boats paddling on the river can be seen everywhere. In the paddy fields, farmers wearing straw hats and oxen have already started a year's farming.A woman with disheveled gray hair and dark skin came back carrying a large back of pigweed. She walked through a path between a clump of bamboo forest, an earthen dam and several thatched huts, which was the Du family's house.The door opened in the small earth dam is the back door, and entering is the kitchen. A young girl quickly came up to catch the woman's back.The woman immediately began to chatter, "Non was still a little girl at that time, and my fathe
The room was dark, and only the moonlight shining in from a small window allowed people to identify the location of the bed. This wooden bed had been there for who knows how many years. It had been there before Du Qianrui was sold out. Now whenever someone moved on it, it would make a "creaking" sound, as if it could fall apart at any time, but it hadn't fallen apart yet.In front of that small window, Du Qianrui learned needlework when she was a child. I remember it very clearly, but I felt it was a little small. Even in the daytime, the window was not bright enough, which hurt my eyes. Now when I look at it again, it seems even smaller... maybe I have seen bigger windows outside.In the daytime, you can see that the exposed brown-yellow earth wall has many cracks. Many years ago, Du Qianrui was worried that the wall would collapse, but it is still fine now.Everything was so familiar, after all, it was the place she had seen since she was born. Even though
