Shigure covered his mouth and chuckled: "It's a woman!"
When Wei Zhangying heard this, he was even more surprised and said, "The Di people actually sent a woman as an envoy this time?" He then asked, "How did that woman trouble the fifth and sixth brothers?"
It's not like Shen Zangji and Shen Liankun have never seen beauties before. What's more, no matter how beautiful the Di people are, they are still of a different race from the Wei people. Although the two brothers Shen Zangji were restrained by their family and were not allowed to indulge in the flower camp and willow array at a young age, their sisters, sisters-in-law, and cousins had many beauties, and they were used to seeing beauties.
Even if the one who comes is the most beautiful one among the Di girls, she can at best amaze them for a moment. It is impossible to make them lose their heads.
Obviously, it was not her appearance that troubled them, but she must have some means.
Sure enough, Shigure nodded and said: "The Fifth Young Master and the Sixth Young Master returned to Guancheng in the afternoon and saw that the envoy of the Wugumeng tribe was actually a female. They were not happy, so they laughed at the Wugumeng tribe in front of their faces. There was no one, and even the woman used it. But Lady Di took out her long bow and ordered the horses to be brought out, and she wanted to compete with the two young masters, and the two young masters agreed. "
At this point, there was no need for Shi Yu to continue talking. Wei Changying knew that her two brothers-in-law must have lost. She smiled and asked, "How come Di Nu is so powerful that she defeated both the fifth and sixth brothers?"
Wei Changying was not very clear about the skills of Shen Zangji and Shen Liankun, but the Shen family passed down the family tradition through martial arts. Even if they were not sons who needed heirs, Shen Xuan would not indulge in martial arts to avoid falling into the trap. heard the sound of the Shen family. That Lady Di could make them feel dejected after losing and come to the other courtyard to wait for Shen Zangfeng. She would probably win so beautifully that they would be speechless and find it difficult to get angry.
"To tell you what the young lady is saying, Di Nu didn't just defeat the Fifth and Sixth Young Masters once." Shigure lowered his voice, "My maid heard that the Fifth Young Master and the Sixth Young Master refused to accept their defeat for the first time because of the horses they rode. They were not good enough, so they brought out two good horses from the stable, and replaced them with good bows, but they lost again. After this time, the two young masters still wanted to compete, so Di Nu said that they should give a bonus to the two young masters. ... Well, my maid heard that the two young masters almost lost all their jewelry this afternoon... "
A strange look flashed in Wei Changying's eyes: "You can actually make the fifth and sixth brothers lose like this?"
"Actually, it's not that Lady Di is much better than the two young masters. The key is that she rides a good horse." Shigure said, "Even if the accuracy of the two young masters is not worse than hers, they are limited by their horse power and hit ten targets in a row. After all, the time she used was longer than hers, so she always lost?"
When Wei Changying heard what Shi Yu said, he felt helpless: Even a little maid knows that no one is better than a horse, so they will lose anyway. Why do these two brothers-in-law have to lose all their accessories before they give up? Then I thought about it, it's probably the young people who can't get off the stage...
In fact, with the Shen family's background in Xiliang, it is certainly impossible that even the disciples of this sect cannot be equipped with several horses and horses that are unique in thousands. It's just that last time when Wei Changying came to Diecui Pass for the first time, he was almost killed by the white horse presented by the former guard. Wasn't that white horse belonging to Hougumeng? Isn’t Hougomont just a top-notch horse
Who knows if the good horses allocated by the Shen family to the Shen Zangfeng brothers were secretly obtained by the Di people? And those horse trainers, are there any traitors among them? So after that time, the Shen family gathered all the best horses in the family together to find out, so as not to be fooled again.
Because the white horse had been as usual before the Di people called it back, and the identities of the three Shen Zangfeng brothers were so important, the person responsible for the inspection did not dare to confirm it. In addition, there is no war now, so after this delay, although Shen Zangji and Shen Liankun's mounts are still carefully selected horses, they are not as good as the best in the world.
Wei Changying thought for a moment and suddenly said: "When Gu Rouzhang left at the beginning of the year, her rouge horse..."
Gu Rouzhang was forcibly sent away, but the rouge horse she rode on was left behind. Of course, this was definitely not what she wanted, but her brother Gu Xinian, considering that this sister-in-law had not returned to the imperial capital, repeated his old trick, relying on the rouge horse to be faster than many good horses, and then rode it to follow. A team from Xiliang came over... So Gu Xinian found an excuse and left the horse in Xiliang despite Gu Rouzhang's fierce objections.
Speaking of which, this horse is now being raised in Xiliang City.
It's not that Gu Xinian would be satisfied as long as he kept the horse, cut off his sister, and used the same method to come to Xiliang. How can any general not be tempted by such a BMW? But when Gu Rouzhang was forced into the car, she grabbed the car door and warned him sternly that if her rouge horse had any shortcomings in Xiliang, even if it was scratched by the arrow, she would have to fight with Gu Xinian!
Gu Xinian was afraid that if he rode it into battle and got injured, Gu Rouzhang would not be done with him after returning to the imperial capital, so he had no choice but to entrust it to Wei Changying and keep it in Mingpeitang.
Now when Shi Yu said that Di Nu's mount was so good that it couldn't even compare with Shen Zangji's and Shen Liankun's mounts, he immediately thought of this rouge horse - this horse was ridden by Gu Rouzhang from the imperial capital, and Gu Rouzhang relied on her back then. Thanks to the strength of its legs, Wei Changying noticed her following her in Gyeonggi Province, but he was unable to send her back, so he had to let her join the team and follow her to Xiliang.
This rouge horse is definitely a top-notch horse and has a clean origin.
Wei Changying was about to say that he should simply send people back to Xiliang to bring the rouge horse over to ensure that Shen Cangji or Shen Liankun could win it back, but when the words came to his lips, he frowned and suddenly remembered that he had almost been killed by Wu Gu before. The incident of Meng Bu's death came - these days, due to the arrival of Shen Shuyan, he has been busy with this sensitive niece, which has greatly alleviated Wei Changying's longing for his biological son. I have almost forgotten that the Wugumeng tribe actually dared to send people here. Even Brother Shen Zangfeng doesn’t care much about this matter
While she was thinking about it, Shi Yu was already replying: "The Rouge Horse is in Xiliang. Do you want the young lady to send someone back to bring it back for the fifth or sixth master?"
"Let's look back and see what your husband means." Wei Changying pondered for a moment and said.
After dismissing Shigure, she returned to the house. Shen Shuyan's hair had just been wrung dry. She did not run out of the house, but sat cross-legged on the couch, holding a hidden bag. Zhu Xuan held a large bowl of egg drop soup in his hand and was feeding her with a silver spoon.
Wei Changying asked with a smile: "Why are you eating this now? Didn't Shiyu bring cherries just now?"
Shen Shuyan hurriedly pushed Zhu Xuan's hand and said doubtfully: "Third Aunt, weren't you in the kitchen just now? I was hungry after twisting my hair, so Feiyu went to the kitchen and ordered me a bowl of freshly steamed food. Let’s have some egg custard soup first.”
"After going to the kitchen, I just happened to be walking around outside." Wei Changying casually said, "Don't eat too much, dinner will be served later."
Shen Shuyan cooed: "I want to take a few more bites..."
"Three spoons at most." Wei Changying walked to her and sat down, pinched her cheek with his fingers, and said with a smile, "Any more, and you won't be able to eat at dinner. If you stay hungry in the middle of the night, it will hurt your health!" "
"I'm in good health!" Shen Shuyan swallowed the egg drop and said seriously.
Even so, after eating three more spoonfuls, Shen Shuyan was still very obedient and asked Zhu Xuan to take down all the remaining egg drops. Wei Changying praised her for being sensible and teased her for a while before the sky darkened. A servant came over from the front, saying that Shen Zangfeng was going to ask someone to serve food, and asked the two of them if they could go over now.
Wei Changying tidied up Shen Shuyan and took her hand to the flower hall where they were eating. Because of Occasionally Rain's reminder, she took a closer look, and sure enough, although the accessories worn by Shen Zangji and Shen Liankun looked similar to those seen on the mountain, they had actually been changed, but they had chosen similar ones on purpose. She didn't notice.
Sensing their sister-in-law's gaze, both of them blushed slightly, feeling very embarrassed.
Shen Zangfeng coughed, waved to Shen Shuyan and said, "Yan'er, come here quickly. I have your favorite cherry meat today."
Wei Changying quickly averted his eyes and said to his two brothers-in-law with a smile: "Today, the kitchen also prepared some of your favorite dishes."
Shen Zangji and Shen Liankun thanked their sister-in-law politely.
After eating in this way, Shen Zangfeng sent his brothers away with a few words, and asked his servants to take Shen Shuyan to resettle them: "Yan'er has been running around the mountains for several hours today. I see that she is tired after she comes back. Hurry up and go." Go to sleep, don’t be tired.”
Shen Shuyan was really tired at this time. When the maid brought tea for everyone to rinse their mouths, she nodded her head and almost dropped the tea bowl. Then he was picked up by the wet nurse. He rubbed his eyes subconsciously and muttered a few words that no one could hear clearly. Then he leaned obediently on the wet nurse's shoulder and let others carry him to the backyard.
The couple went back to the back with the servants, talked a little about the household chores, and went to bed to make arrangements.
After the intimacy, Shen Zangfeng played with his wife's long hair and smiled: "You already know about the fifth and sixth brothers' losing streak this afternoon?"
"Listen to what the person below said." Wei Changying leaned lazily in his arms and said, "Did you just see me staring at the jewelry of the fifth and sixth brothers?"
Shen Zangfeng smiled and said: "You are so narrow-minded as a sister-in-law. You know that they are losing in an embarrassing way, but you still want to look at them. Seeing how restless they are today, you specially ordered the cook to cook a few dishes for them. , they definitely don’t know what it tastes like.”
Guard Chief Ying stretched out his fingers and pinched his arm, and said angrily: "After I heard about it, I was always curious, so I just took a look... This victory or defeat is a common thing for military strategists, and the fifth and sixth brothers are also honest. ! Can’t stand being looked at like this?”
"It's strange that the two of them are so honest." Shen Zangfeng said with a smile, "If we weren't in the public eye today and couldn't afford to lose face, they would have killed someone and seized the horse! They didn't come here just because of the horse. ?”
Wei Changying said: "Oh, no matter how good Hougoumont's horse is, can I still want it?" Her words seemed casual, but in fact she was reminding her of what happened last time.
"Wugoumeng gave me an explanation of what happened before, but I feel dissatisfied and haven't told you yet." Shen Zangfeng could hear the meaning of his wife's words, and said slightly, "Wugoumeng said something." It was done by a small tribe that nominally surrendered to him but was actually attached to Ayitahu. Otherwise, how could Moye and his group be able to ambush you in such a close and coincidental place without being discovered, Ma Ye? When the small tribe came to seek refuge with him, he did not realize that the other party was harboring evil intentions, so he rewarded the white horse. "
Wei Changying frowned and asked, "Does he have evidence?"
"There is no evidence, but he said he was sincere." Shen Zangfeng said calmly, "He has slaughtered all the men in that tribe and brought the women with him for us to dispose of at our will!" (To be continued)
