www.lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of Sheng Chong's Daughter-in-law: The Medical Concubine!
Out the window, a gust of cold wind blew by, making the branches and leaves sway and rustle, and also making Nangong Yue's face, which was reddish from the charcoal fire, feel cool.
Countless white plum blossoms flew up in the wind and fell like goose feathers and heavy snow.
A faint smile appeared at the corner of Nangong Yue's mouth, but the smile was cold and did not reach her eyes.
"Baihui, go and tell Zhu Xing that His Highness Carrero is the 'distinguished guest' of our Zhennan Palace. You must greet him well and make him feel at home..." Nangong Yue commanded meaningfully.
"Yes, Crown Princess." Baihui's eyes flashed, her lips curled up knowingly, and she accepted the order, "I will tell Butler Zhu that His Highness Carrero will not lose his life."
Death, wouldn’t that be too simple and too cheap for Carrero and Ayimu!
Baihui stepped back quickly, and then Huamei, who had been waiting outside for a while, came in through the curtain: "Prince Concubine, the wedding ceremony has been prepared."
Nangong Yue nodded slightly and said with a smile: "Then let someone send it to you quickly."
As soon as she finished speaking, she heard a smiling female voice speaking at the same time as the sound of curtain lifting: "Yue'er, today is the fourteenth day of the first lunar month, why are the Lantern Festival gifts sent so late?"
I saw Que'er leading Yuan Yuyi and Han Qixia in one after another. The person who just spoke was Yuan Yuyi.
As she walked, she winked at Nangong Yue jokingly, her slightly teasing expression seemed to say, Yue'er, you're not too busy to forget, are you?
Nangong Yue smiled and asked the two of them to sit down.
Lantern Festival is a big festival, how could Nangong Yue forget about the festival? Even if she has many trivial matters, she still has Baihui and Huamei to help her.
The festival gifts to be sent out today are in addition to the regular festival gifts in various prefectures.
Nangong Yue received a letter from Xiao Yi a few days ago, which mentioned that the young men from the new battalion who followed Xiao Yi to Xiye this time had made many military exploits. Although Xiao Yi only mentioned a few words casually, Nangong Yue could already imagine his triumphant tone, which was a bit showy and proud.
So, Nangong Yue made an impromptu decision to prepare a special gift for Yu Xiufan, Chang Huaixi, Yan Xijun and other young players in the new elite camp.
"Yue'er," Yuan Yuyi said as she sat down next to Nangong Yue, "tomorrow is the Lantern Festival. Cousin Xia said there will be a lantern festival in the city tomorrow night."
Nangong Yue nodded and said: "Our lantern festival in southern Xinjiang is very different from that in the royal capital. Sister Yi, it is rare for you to come to Luoyue City, but you must go and play to make your trip worthwhile."
Hearing Nangong Yue say "our southern Xinjiang" naturally, Yuan Yuyi couldn't help but be startled. It seemed that for Yue'er, southern Xinjiang was already her home.
Thinking about it, she slightly raised the corner of her mouth and said with a smile: "Cousin Xia and I have made an appointment to go to the lantern festival together tomorrow night. Yue'er, do you want to come with us?" Yuan Yuyi originally wanted to invite Jiang Yixi, but Jiang Yixi has been weak since she came to southern Xinjiang. Maybe it is due to the fatigue of traveling or traveling, or maybe she is suffering from a heart disease... Thinking about it, Yuan Yuyi felt a little sad.
Nangong Yue raised her eyebrows and asked deliberately: "Then can I bring one more person with me?"
When she asked, Yuan Yuyi and Han Qixia couldn't help but glance at each other, thinking of the same person. Both girls' eyes shone, and they responded in unison: "That's natural."
My brother Yu hasn’t seen the lantern festival yet! The smile on Nangong Yue's lips deepened, "Brother Yu will definitely like the lively lantern festival." Little Xiao Yu has a lively temperament. He has loved liveliness since he was a child and is not afraid of strangers. It is conceivable that tomorrow's lantern festival will definitely make the little guy extremely happy. Just in time, the cat lamp Xiao Rongyu made for Xiao Yu can also be used!
The two girls rushed to respond. One said that they would help take care of the little guy, and the other said that they would choose the most beautiful lantern for the little guy. For a while, the room was very lively.
The news that the concubine and the grandson were going to the Lantern Festival immediately spread throughout the palace, and Zhu Xing and Baihui became busy. Ayimu was probably still in Luoyue City, so this trip must be done carefully. Arrange escorts to accompany you, choose a restaurant with the best view, and arrange defenses around the restaurant.
Time flies by in the blink of an eye. The next day is the Lantern Festival. The streets and alleys in the city are decorated with lanterns and colorful flowers. There is a strong festive atmosphere everywhere. When night comes, this kind of joy arrives in an instant. At the climax, the lanterns were lit one after another, the lights swayed, and the surroundings were gorgeous, which seemed to be even brighter than the stars in the sky.
As soon as night fell, several distinguished guests were welcomed into the Tayun Restaurant, and the boss personally welcomed them to the private seats on the third floor facing the street.
"Yue'er, Cousin Yi, the location of this private room is good, very suitable for watching the lights." Han Qixia walked to the window and pointed to the street outside the window and said, "In half an hour, the dragon dance team will You will go from east to west along Dongyun Street. You see, Dongyun Street is clearly visible from this window."
Nangong Yue and Yuan Yuyi looked out in the direction Han Qixia pointed, and saw red lights hung high on the entire Dongyun Street, with people coming and going, most of them holding lanterns in their hands.
Looking down from the window on the third floor, the entire Dongyun Street is like a dazzling river of lights.
The three girls were full of praise for the beautiful scenery in front of them, but the little guy in Silk Mother's arms didn't agree. He twisted his body and shouted: "Go...go."
The word "go" sounded unclear, but Silk Mother naturally knew that Xiao Shisun wanted to leave by himself, so she leaned over and put him on the floor.
After the little guy landed, he eagerly pointed at Magpie. Magpie hurriedly handed the lantern in his hands to the little master and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Shisun, your lantern slave will take care of you." It has to be good."
The little guy didn't know if he heard Magpie's voice, but his **** and white eyes stared unblinking at the cat lamp in his hand.
Today is the Lantern Festival, and the little guy almost got a room full of lanterns. King Zhennan gave him a revolving lantern, Concubine Wei gave him a lotus lantern, Xiao Fei bought him a rabbit lantern, and other prefectures gave him a gift. There were all kinds of palace lanterns, bird lanterns, carp lanterns, etc., but Xiao Yu still liked the cat lantern that Xiao Rongyu made for him the most.
This is a small orange lantern. The round lantern is used as the cat's head. Then the cat ears and whiskers are glued on, and then a three-petal mouth and a pair of golden cat eyes are painted. It makes people fall in love with it.
Xiao Yu has never let go of the cat lamp since he got it this morning.
When he went out just now, it was Nangong Yue who persuaded him to let go and leave it to Que'er for the time being.
As soon as the little guy got the cat lantern, he happily circled around in the booth, laughing so happily that he walked up to Yuan Yuyi and Han Qixia from time to time to show off his lantern.
The people in the room boasted in unison, which made the little guy smile even more happily, and his big eyes curved into cute crescents.
Laughter continued in the seats. At the same time, Dongyun Street outside became more and more lively, with a festive noise.
On the one hand, the common people gathered here to wait for the arrival of the dragon dance team and the float. On the other hand, many people heard that the Crown Princess and her grandchildren also came to Tayun Restaurant to watch the lanterns, so they came one after another, one by one. He craned his neck to look at the seats on the second and third floors of the Tayun Restaurant, talking to each other and discussing.
"Did the Imperial Concubine and the Grand Master really come to the Cloud Restaurant?" A skinny, dark-skinned young man stood on tiptoes excitedly, looking up.
A gray-haired old lady beside him immediately said: "Is that still false?! Didn't you see that the person standing at the door of Tayun Restaurant is the palace guard?"
"The descendants of this generation have attracted the congratulations of the barbarians, which makes our southern Xinjiang feel proud!" Another scholar-looking man said in a humanistic voice, "Today is a rare Lantern Festival, and I don't know if we will have a chance to see the descendants of our descendants tonight. Style!"
"Why not! We didn't see Shisun when he came in, but he had to come out, right?" The old lady said in a loud voice, attracting the echoes of many people around. In just a few words As time went by, the flow of people on Dongyun Street became even denser, making it almost difficult to move.
No one noticed that standing behind the crowd was a short, middle-aged man with a beard. He looked up with everyone in the direction of Tayun Restaurant, with a hint of disappointment in his sharp eyes. .
"He" is Ayimu in disguise.
Today is the Lantern Festival, and there are too many people. Although it is convenient for her to hide her whereabouts, it also makes it difficult for her to find opportunities to get close to Nangong Yue and the others. It seems that there is no chance to do so tonight.
In the past two days, she had used the mother vood several times to trigger the child vood in Jiang Yixi's body to attack, trying to force Nangong Yue to commit the crime and release Carrero. However, until now, there has been no response from the Zhennan Palace.
It seems that the other party doesn't care about Jiang Yixi's life or death!
Ayimu clenched her fists, but her waist was still as straight as a pine tree in the cold wind. She was aloof and tenacious, and her thoughts were spinning rapidly.
She overestimated the Zhennan Palace. I am afraid that the last time Nangong Yue was willing to trade Carrero for Jiang Yixi was just for the sake of reputation. Now that this superficial effort has been done, she no longer cares about Jiang Yixi's life or death. .
The Prince of Zhennan is just a person who deceives the world and steals his reputation!
Fortunately, my plan back then was not completely destroyed... This game of chess has only been played halfway, and it is still undecided who will live and who will die.
Thinking about it, an icy cold light flashed in Ayimu's eyes, and he glanced in the direction of the seating area of Tayun Restaurant, like a vulture staring at its prey.
At this time, the whole street suddenly boiled with excitement, and the excited voices of the people came and went: "Look! The dragon dance team is coming!"
"There are also floats!"
“I don’t know what this year’s Lantern King will look like?”
"..."
The surroundings became more and more lively, and the crowd became more and more excited, as if even the air was burning.
Ayimu, who was mixed in the crowd, withdrew his gaze and quietly stepped back, one step, two steps, three steps... Finally, he exited the crowd and entered a small alley in the back, quickly disappearing into the darkness...
The surroundings were still noisy and noisy, as if Ayimu had never been here.
The dragon dance team not far away was getting closer and closer. Amidst the thunderous sound of gongs and drums, a dazzling long dragon danced in a winding way, attracting cheers from all around.
After the dragon dance team, there is a huge float. On the float, three slim girls wearing only half-sleeved gauze skirts dance among the countless lotus lanterns on the float. Against the backdrop of the gorgeous lotus lanterns, the girls They looked like a dream, as if fairies from heaven descended to earth, cheers and applause mixed with the noisy gongs and drums.
Not only the people below were impressed, but also Xiao Yu in the private seats on the third floor heard the news and came here. He was carried to an armchair by the window, with a pair of chubby little hands firmly holding the window sill, looking down at the dragon dance team below.
The little guy's eyes shone like lights. Following the dance of the dragon, he bumped up and down while shouting "Ahhh", smiling so hard that he showed two rows of rice teeth.
Nangong Yue put one hand around the little guy's waist, looked at her little guy with a smile, and taught him a few new words, such as "dragon", "lion", and "dance"...
The little guy’s milky voice and the way he was babbling were so adorable that it made the two aunts’ hearts melt when they saw it. Later, they didn’t know whether they were coming to see the lantern festival or not. Xiao Yu's.
The long parade is as far as the eye can see and the crowds are buzzing. The lights of Luoyue City are not extinguished tonight, all night long...
However, in the far northwest, the cold wind is still howling and the clouds are lingering.
Since Zhongling City was captured, both the sky above Xiye Capital City and all the Xiye people have been shrouded in a heavy haze. During this short period of fighting, not only did they not feel relieved. His tone, but his heart became heavier and heavier.
This is like the calm before the storm, the air is so oppressive that people can't breathe.
In just a few days, King Xiye had become quite haggard. He tossed and turned at night, almost unable to sleep at night.
A backlog of battle reports piled up on King Xiye's imperial desk, piling up higher and higher. At the top of the pile of battle reports was a piece of white cloth with a few lines of large characters written on it.
This was Guan Yubai’s letter of challenge that day when he shot an arrow onto the wall of the capital city. The arrow even broke his own flag!
Every word and sentence in the war letter is so arrogant and domineering, and the black ink stains are so dazzling against the white cloth. Every time I see it, it hurts the eyes of King Xiye.
Guan Yubai, this Guan Yubai is as unwilling to let go of himself as a tarsal maggot!
Thinking about it, King Xiye's face was so gloomy that he almost dripped with ink, and many memories flashed through his mind quickly.
At that time, he had just passed his prime years, with great ambition and high spirits. For the first time, he led 10,000 troops to the battlefield of Western Xinjiang alone on the order of his father. The task given by his father was to massacre Yang, a small town on the border of Western Xinjiang. Yucheng, brought the money, food, weapons and prisoners of war in the city back to Xiye.
The garrison of Yangyu City was only 3,000 strong. There was no chance of winning against his own army of 10,000. However, he did not expect that he was ambushed by an official army before he arrived at Yangyu City. , the opponent only had 5,000 men, and the leader was just a young man, but he defeated the many with less, causing him to be completely defeated.
At that time, it was he who decisively ordered the retreat before returning to Xiye with two thousand remaining soldiers.
From that moment on, that boy's name and figure were imprinted in his heart that would never be erased.
Guan Yubai, this young man named Guan Yubai is his lifelong enemy!
He swore that Guan Yubai would be defeated by his army and cut into pieces. However, no matter how he tempered himself and Xiye's army, no matter how invincible he was against other small neighboring countries, and he had numerous military exploits, every time When he met Guan Yubai, he suffered a disastrous defeat, a disastrous defeat without any suspense.
One year, three years, five years... always like this!
Until one day, one of his counselors reminded him——
Whether it is a conspiracy or a scheming, as long as it can achieve great things, then it is a great talent and a great strategy!
Yes, why does he have to fight Guan Yubai with real swords and guns? No matter what means he uses, as long as he can get rid of Guan Yubai, then it will be him, Gao Mihe, who defeats Guan Yubai. Gao Mihe won!
For this reason, he read hundreds of years of history books in the Central Plains and the "Biographies of Famous Generals" of previous dynasties, and finally he had some understanding.
It is not difficult to get rid of Guan Yubai and even Guan Jiajun!
Just use his spear and attack his shield.
As long as it is breached from within Dayu, Emperor Dayu's suspicion and suspicion can be used to destroy Guan Yubai!
Everything went according to his plan, the official language was in vain, and the official army was destroyed.
No matter how talented Guan Yubai was, even if he had countless strategies, he was still destroyed in the hands of Gao Mihao, and he even used this to win the favor of his father and successfully win the favor among his brothers. He stood out and was appointed as the prince. Later, he ascended the throne and became the king of the Western Night!
Nine years have passed! For nine years, he thought that his nightmare was over long ago. He thought that he could finally start his grand project, capture Dayu, expand his territory in Xiye several times, and leave his name in history.
Unexpectedly, this turned out to be his biggest nightmare!
And this nightmare seemed to be endless. He and the entire Xiye were trapped in this nightmare!
Suddenly, there was a burst of messy footsteps outside the imperial study, getting closer and closer. Soon, a middle-aged soldier walked into the imperial study out of breath, knelt down on one knee and cupped his fists and said: "Your Majesty, Guan Yubai has led his army to Baishan City!"
Bai Shan City? ! King Xiye's pupils shrank sharply and his heart tightened. Baishan City was only about a hundred miles away from the capital!
How could this happen? !
It has only been half a month, and there is still no news from the envoys he sent to King Dayu, but Guan Yubai actually acted so quickly!
If this continues, even if Emperor Dayu is willing to help him, he will probably be far away and unable to reach the fire. Even if he immediately recalled the troops on the front line of Western Xinjiang before, he will not be able to reach the capital now.
What should I do next? !
The king of Xiye was confused and couldn't figure it out for a while. After a while, he frowned and asked: "Lakda, only Guanyu Bai? What about Xiao Yi, the prince of Zhennan?"
Lakdal was stunned for a moment, then immediately bowed his head and replied: "Your Majesty, Xiao Yi stayed in Zhongling City, and only Guanyu Bai led tens of thousands of Southern Xinjiang troops to approach the capital!"
The King of Xiye was dumbfounded. The prince of Zhennan was acting inexplicably, with no rules to follow. What was he thinking? ! He stayed in Zhongling City and allowed Guan Yubai's troops to attack his Xiye capital. Aren't he afraid that after Guan Yubai attacked the city, he would wear a yellow robe and proclaim himself king? !
Why did Xiao Yi not care at all about this great opportunity to establish military power and just give it to Guan Yubai? Doesn't he have any other conspiracies? !
The more Xiye Wang thought about it, the more irritated he became. Huo Di stood up and walked back and forth in the imperial study room, round and round...
Lakeda on the side was still kneeling on the ground, not daring to make a sound to alarm the King of the Night.
Following the monotonous pace, Xiye Wang's heart calmed down little by little, and he said to himself that at this time, he should be calmer.
It doesn’t matter what Xiao Yi thinks. Obviously, the core figure of the southern Xinjiang army is Guan Yubai, and only Guan Yubai!
As long as he gets rid of Guan Yubai, the Southern Xinjiang Army will inevitably be disorganized and defeated without a fight!
Xiye Wang squinted his eyes, a sharp light flashing in his eyes.
Maybe it’s time to make a move that I’ve been hiding for a long time!
Thinking about it, King Xiye's eyes became firm, he made up his mind, and gave a sonorous order: "Lakda, go to Dongshan Camp for me..."
The rough voice of King Xiye echoed in the royal study. After he explained something, Lakda left in a hurry.
The sky outside is dark, and night covers the earth...
When dawn descended on the earth again, the rising sun penetrated the darkness, and "tap, tap, tap", a vigorous middle-aged knight rode a tall horse and galloped at the dawn of dawn until he arrived in front of a city. Stop.
Before the guards on the city wall could ask questions, the middle-aged man on horseback shouted loudly: "I am an old officer of the Major General. I came here to ask for an audience with the Major General. Please pass on the message!"
His loud voice echoed around.
