However...
The moment the first soldier of the western tribes leaped out of the snow, Shen Cangfeng, as if he had been prepared for this, swiftly retreated three steps on the snow. It took almost no time to reach the side of his mount. Within a blink of an eye, his spear was in his hand! Meanwhile, Shen Die suddenly lifted up the thick blanket spread on the snow. With his arms raised, he threw the blanket like a discus towards where the arrows came in the thickest clusters!
They could hear the sound of arrows hitting the blanket. Nobody knew how many arrows the blanket caught. However, although the arrows easily tore through the outer layer of the blanket, they didn't penetrate it. Amidst the enemy's shouting, they could hear metal clanking from beneath the blanket!
The rest of Shen Cangfeng's men also responded quickly only a little later than him. No matter whether they had been resting on the ground or standing guard, all of them, wit
After the brutal battle, the white snow, within an area of two hundred paces, had turned to dirty water mixed with blood.Shen Cangfeng saw that all the people from the western tribes, except two, had been executed on the spot, and the soldiers were excitedly chopping off the heads so that they could go back to claim the credit. Happy laughter and cheerful voices were everywhere. He handed over his spear to Shen Die and went to the side with Shen Youjia to ask about what happened in his battle. Apparently, what he was most concerned about was, "Your excellency, have you decapitated Muxiuer with your own hands?"However, having heard this, Shen Youjia, who had been excited, looked upset. He touched his nose and awkwardly coughed a few times before whispering, "Er... The King's Ten Eagles were indeed fierce. Although I set up several traps and six of them died, they fought desperately to find a way out for Muxiuer and the last one who was alive helped
"Have you heard about it, my third sister-in-law? Duke Ji has requested to stand guard over Dowager Duchess Ji's mausoleum for three years to show his filial piety and devotion." It was snowing in the afternoon, and snowflakes were dancing in the courtyard. Several maids were making snowmen, chattering. Mrs. Liu brought over Shen Shujing, the First Granddaughter Miss. They greeted each other, and then Mrs. Liu told Shen Shujing to play with the parrot. She herself came to play chess with Wei Changying. Within a few moves, she threw down her chess pieces and raised her head, saying, "Mother is very worried now!"Wei Changying knew that the Shen Family was planning to change the crown prince. At first, she had suspected that Duke Ji was the candidate to replace the Crown Prince because after all, Duchess Ji, Shen Cangxiu, was Shen Xuan's eldest lineal daughter. However, a few days ago, the news came that Shen Xuan had fallen ill, so except Shen Cangfeng who was far
Actually, the most appropriate person, one who could be able to pry into the reason behind this marriage, would be Wei Shengyi. However, having lost his wife not long ago, even if he could put his sadness aside to help, Wei Shengyi, who was still in mourning, was not suitable to go to the palace. Having thought of all the relatives and friends that Old Madam Song had told her about before she had become married, Wei Changying thought that the person who most likely knew the inside story was the vice-premier, Wei Yu. She then told the thoughtful Mrs. Huang to prepare a gift and sent her over there.Mrs. Huang didn't come back until close to curfew. Not bothering to have some water, she started to speak about what had happened, "The wife of the vice-premier said she was about to send someone over to tell you about this, young madam. This is what happened. Since Dowager Duchess Ji has passed away and His Majesty has ordered all his children in the capital to pay the
This was actually Princess Lingxian's own experience. Her biological mother Consort Huo had once become a Shu Consort, so she had thrown her weight around in the palace, truly living like a princess.However, afterwards her father's favorite Sixth Prince Shen Jun had suddenly died. Shen Jun's mother, Honored Consort Deng, had demanded a thorough investigation in distress. At that time, Consort Huo hadn't thought much of it and had said to her young daughter privately that the water in the palace was very deep, being grateful that she had only Princess Lingxian, a daughter. Generally speaking, a princess wouldn't be in the way of anyone. So this mother could have her daughter keep her company, not needing to fear dying alone after she fell into disfavor.Consort Huo and Princess Lingxian had never thought that the palace people would come for Consort Huo. Princess Lingxian still remembered her mother's shocked and disbelieving look when she had learned that
In February, the snow in the capital hadn't yet melted away and the underfloor heating was still in use in the Jintong Courtyard. There were freshly cut plum blossoms in a porcelain vase on a flower stand. A light hint of the fragrance mixed with the warmth, creating a delightful atmosphere.Song Zaishui had some free time and went to Wei Changying's mansion to visit her. Having sat down, she saw her cousin's huge belly under her full high-waisted, magnolia-print dress with its crimson red lapels and large sleeves, saying, "Are you having a baby soon?"Wei Changying counted with her fingers, saying, "It's eight months now. Not there yet."Song Zaishui wasn't married and didn't know much about these things, so her random guess was wrong. She said with a smile, "Two months will go by quickly. It seems that I have to press on with my work, otherwise the clothes for each season that I have promised my nephew will not be finished."
While Wei Changying and Song Zaishui were chatting about family affairs, the white cloth had not yet been completely removed in the lonely rear courtyard of the Wei Family's mansion. When the wind blew, the white cloth danced with the remaining snow, adding sadness and loneliness to the bleak reality.Wei Changjuan, the Seventh Miss, stood alone in the courtyard under a plum tree with blood-red blossoms, holding a snowy plum branch, lost in thought. She thought melancholily, "In the past, at this time of the year, Mother would always lead people to collect snow from the plum blossoms and seal it in a clay pot to make tea when the spring comes. I remember one year, my first sister saw a recipe for plum blossom cakes in a book, and we collected plum blossoms together to make some. The plum blossom cakes we made at that time were not good at all, but my first sister ate several pieces in order not to lose face. In the end, she had a stomach upset in the middle of th
"It seems that Changwan told the doormen to do so, saying that you are in mourning and shouldn't have visitors. When I just arrived at the front door, I saw that was how Liu Ruoye was sent away." Min Yinuo said softly, "I was told the same thing, but on the way back, I remembered that I had passed by a side door of yours, so I tried it. Surprisingly, they let me in. When I got to the courtyard, I happened to see you almost collapse. Silly you, it's so cold nowadays, but you aren't looking after yourself properly. My fifteenth aunt, your mother, has passed away so you should take better care of yourself, in case my fifteenth uncle and cousins worry about you!"Wei Changjuan’s heart ached, thinking that her father and siblings were blaming her for everything. Instead of worrying about her, they would probably choose not to see her again.After a pause, Wei Changjuan said in a low voice, "Since it is Changwan's order, so let it be. Maybe she wants me to
Usually, when it came to the right to run the household, there could be some hard feelings between sisters-in-law. In some families, though the mothers-in-law hadn't passed away, they had delegated the responsibilities and their daughters-in-law would start to fight with each other. This should have been the case in the second branch of the Wei Family as the mother-in-law had suddenly died without specifying which daughter-in-law should be in charge. Even though the first daughter-in-law would normally be the one, she couldn't completely keep the second daughter-in-law out, so there should have been a fight.But Mrs. Min and Mrs. Zhou got along very well and were like sisters. There was an explanation for that.They were both granddaughters-in-law chosen by Old Madam Song for her grandsons. Both of them had gentle and quiet temperaments, who didn't like to cause trouble. They would also put up with things when they could.Usually, daught
The pills made by Ji Zhaosi himself and specifically used for hanging lives are extraordinary exactly.Huang asked Wei Changying to bring two pills, which were taken by Shen Shuxie and Shen Jingshi respectively. However, after half an hour, the two nephews and uncle, whose breath was originally weak, breathed clearly and evenly!Even before the high fever has been unrelenting Shen Jingshi, actually began to retreat from the heat!Although it was said that this one pill could not heal them immediately, and it might not even be able to guarantee that they would definitely survive.But ...... Shen stack wiped tears and cried and laughed, "Ji Shen doctor road is delayed again, and then there are at most ten days of light will be able to arrive!"The doctor who was called over to treat the uncle and nephew after taking the medicine said, "The second son and the second grandson are now revitalized, and if they take some more warming and tonic medicines. If th
Wei Changying rushed into the house in a hurry.Because the snow hadn't melted yet, and she was in a hurry, her foot slipped when she went up the steps, and she fell and knocked on the top step."Sister Wei, be careful!" Gu Rouzhang, who was running over with her skirt, shouted in shock and was about to rush forward to help her, but Wei Changying quickly stood up after the fall and went into the house as if nothing had happened.However, the remaining snow on the steps had been dyed blood red under this knock!A trail of blood dripped all the way into the house with Wei Chang Ying's steps!Gu Rouzhang's gaze paused on the blood before she came to her senses and turned back to instruct Shi Man'er, "Go to the car and bring Sister Wei's package!"Shi Man'er fearfully raised the things she was holding in her hands, "The maidservants brought it with them when they got off the bus.""Keep your voice down and follow me in to take a look." Gu Rouzha
Three days later, 5,000 Western Liang horsemen arrived to welcome Wei Chang Ying's aunt and nephew back to the camp.Originally, there was still a last shred of fantasy in his heart, but when he saw the leader of these 5,000 elite soldiers, a lieutenant who claimed to be named Cai Qingzhi, coming up to the hall in onyx, Wei Changying understood everything the news that Shen Bo had been executed by Pei Jie and the others privately was still unknown, and since it was not to observe the filial piety of the Son of Heaven, who else was qualified to receive this onyx of the Xiliang army, except for Shen Xuanyuan? Who else in the world is qualified to receive this onyx besides Shen Xuan?This is nothing less than proof that Shinbo's words that day, or at least part of what he said, were in no way a lie.Wei Changying was like falling into a freezing cellar in an instant!She grabbed her sleeve in death, and was silent for ten or so breaths before she let Cai Qingzhi
Although the news brought by Shen Bo had left the crowd in a state of shock and anger, the rendezvous with Mo Binwei was more or less a relief.Before they easily escaped from the pursuit of the Rong people, and then settled in Changxian not that they are willing to stay in Changxian, but is listening to Shi Lin said that the left side of the county is also Changxian because of the remoteness of the land, there is no big family, so instead of the peace more.With the Rong people to the north and bandits to the south, there's really no other safer way than to wait for news here.And the news that Schilling was told to poke around never did ......Now Mo Binwei with the Wei family's three thousand elite cavalry to come, naturally do not have to Wei family of those doing business with a good hand to continue to rush ducks on the shelf as a scout, there are after Mo Binwei coaching of tough scouts to do this errand.So Mo Binwei stationed in Changxian Count
"...... Zhu Chengyi is the person who served my birth mother back then. After my birth mother was murdered for the abolitionist Gu, I occasionally took advantage of my foster mother's lack of preparation and went to the palace where she had lived to reminisce, and often saw him secretly burning incense and praying for my birth mother in the corner. Later, my foster mother lost favor, I live in the Jia Mu Palace, Zhu Chengyi frugal saving a meager monthly fee to me, I still remember when I was ten years old in the Jia Mu Palace in the snow like a mat, freezing cold, Zhu Chengyi did not wear a fur coat, freezing and shivering from the corner of the door to look for me in no one's place hard to plug his pawn fur coat of silver money to me, said that is afraid that I have been deducted from the royal son of the part of the case, hurt the body ... ... ...When he was about to part, he was in his prime but appeared to be trembling due to the lack of clothing to protect him from the cold an
Dusk, the remnants of the sun like blood, to the icy sky and snow gilded like gold and blood light.Mo Binwei, dressed in military attire and dusty, followed Pei Jie into the inner courtyard.Although this mansion, which was already a first-class courtyard in Chang County, could not meet the eyes of the real nobles, it was tidied up quite neatly by Shi Lin's commanders.At this moment, the snow in the courtyard were broom swept carefully, the ground brick was frozen into a pale green color. But the corner of the yard quietly spit stamens of a red plum by the north wind blew down a few buds fell on it, the pale more pale, red more colorful, but it looks like a picture.Dark fragrance filled the court, but see the corridor under the two with plain dresses of young girls, playful and bright, is whispering.Noticing that Gu Xi Nian had brought someone with her, Shi Jian'er and Shi Qing'er busily rose and saluted, "Mr. Gu!"Gu Xi Nian raised her stage
"They didn't land in Jiu County, or even enter the city at all, before continuing south?" In Chang County, in the afternoon, there was a foot of snow in the court, and ice prisms reached the ground under the eaves.However, because the house was burning with an underground dragon, Wei Chang Ying was only wearing a jacket. She was dressed in onyx, not adorned with jewelry, but her natural beauty still made the few young Shi daughters who served her look down on her.But Wei Changying, who had already put on her mother-in-law's mourning dress, was not in the mood to congratulate herself on her jade-like appearance.Through the embroidered curtain, she listened to the report of Shi Lin, who had rushed to Jiuxian County without stopping to find out the news and then rushed back, and her eyes gradually became heavy, "You go, and invite all the people who traveled with me to come over, in addition to Sister Deng, Jing'er, and the entourage!"Shi Lin heard the skept
Mo Binwei escorted Wei Xin Yong back to Fengzhou to take revenge, and originally agreed to return to the capital immediately after killing Wei Qi.Then Wei Xinrong would assist Shen Bo, who was still the Crown Prince at the time, to ascend to the throne, and then of course, he would gain high rank and salary by taking his own merits from the dragon, and then vigorously cultivate Mo Bunwei his birth mother died early, and his relationship with his family was not good, and the Crown Prince was too short a period of time for him to develop any deep roots, so there was no one available to him in any respect. Available, Wei Xin Yong and Mo Bunwei such and real learning, but no reliable background of the young talent, it is Shen Bo's dream of the right arm.According to Wei Xin Yong's previous plan, with the help of the Shen Bo emperor's identity, he and Mo Binwei a literary and military cultivation of power, the existence of Wei for a year to cultivate a year of course, he wi
Taking advantage of the light of setting up camp, Mo Binwei walked into the tent that had been specially erected for Wei Xinrong, who had not yet recovered from his illness.The tent is lit with two wind lamps, Wei Xin Yong's feet, there is a delicate mythical beast gilt furnace, the furnace burning the best silver frost charcoal, warm, but do not see half a bit of smoke and fire atmosphere.This is a disease for many years of Rui Yu Hall six old master than a year ago, thin not a little two points, the whole person even some form of bone meaning. Originally fair face through a strange pallor, more and more appear his eyes cold as a cold pool, bottomless.Not only that, the weariness between his brows was very obvious, making Mo Binwei very worried for him, "Mr. Wei, but today's march was too long?""There's no harm in it." Wei Xinrong sipped the hot ginseng tea in the tinu, shook his head slightly, and said in a slightly hoarse voice, "My physique is too wea
