Guard Chief Ying was slightly stunned and said: "This Wu Gumeng, is he from Di? How can he kill his own people so easily?" Before Mu Xiuer's execution, the dignitaries of Di people fled to the depths of the grassland for their lives. On the road to Gumeng, they did not forget to massacre a small tribe that belonged to Ayitahu along the way before continuing to run. Now another one has been slaughtered... Even if this tribe really was ordered by Ayitahu to come to Wugoumen to make peace, at least there are old and young in this tribe, and it is impossible for everyone to help Ayitahu. Hu, at most, the leader of the tribe chose this way...
However, Wugumeng killed all the male heirs of the clan and sent the female relatives over to be dealt with by him. Wei Changying changed his mind and frowned slightly: "A group of female relatives whose husbands and children and grandchildren were killed... Or Di people, send them to us, what does Hougoumont mean?"
As a couple, neither of them cared about Di people's lives. Just because they didn't care about them didn't mean that they would kill them like Hougoumont. There is also a saying that killing prisoners is ominous on the battlefield, not to mention that the Shen family ranks among the top six clans in the country, so they must cherish their feathers. Killing the enemy in battle, even if the blood is flowing, is also an honor; killing women behind closed doors, what is the benefit besides getting an unkind evaluation
What's more, God knows where Wu Gumeng got these female relatives of the Di people. Even if they were really the relatives of the Di people who assassinated the guard chief Ying, those people had long been killed by Mo Ye and his party. Even if the anger is directed at these people, there are probably many older and younger women among them. Killing them all like this is really harmful to the peace of the world.
Wei Changying didn't want to bear the name of a person with such a small capacity for nothing, so he immediately said: "Send these people back to Di Realm!"
"The Wugumen tribe is about to go to war with Ayitahu. They urgently need to exchange livestock for supplies, so they must find ways to resolve this grudge. It is reasonable to sacrifice a small tribe for all the tribes who have defected to him." Shen Zangfeng shook his head. Said, "If you pity these people, you can't send them back to Hougomont. I'm afraid they will be killed by Hougomont before they get close to the king's tent. Since Hougomont sent them to Guanxia, that is These people have been treated as dead people.”
"Then let them go to Ayitahu." Wei Changying frowned, "With such a group of people, who knows whether there is Wu Gumeng's fine work? What's more, what's the benefit of killing them? I don't need to take a group of women. People take it out!”
Shen Zangfeng hummed: "That's fine."
Wei Changying thought for a moment and then asked: "So the matter about the white horse... is that all?"
"How is this possible?" Shen Zangfeng said, "It's just that it's not a good time to send troops now..."
"I'm not urging you to avenge this personal revenge for me. Anyway, I'm fine. What happened that time also reminded me. Whether this revenge will be avenged or not, from the bottom of my heart, I don't want to care about anything now." Chang Ying interrupted him and said, "It's just that the outside world knew about what happened last time. I was afraid that the situation in our family would not be up and down, so I remembered it now. Fortunately, Wugumeng has given an explanation now. Just follow the overall situation and don’t let me influence you.”
She was thinking that her husband always doted on her, but after the incident with the white horse, Shen Zangfeng did not do anything to Wu Gumeng's tribe, which was a bit strange. Most likely, there was some reason in the situation that made Shen Zangfeng stop, or maybe it was not convenient to reveal what Shen Zangfeng did to her, otherwise her husband would definitely not be a timid or fearful person. While he was in Guancheng, his first wife almost lost her life there - let alone Shen Zangfeng, the next head of the Shen family, what other man could endure this
"Wugoumeng is our enemy in public and private." Shen Zangfeng just smiled faintly, stroked her hair and said, "Don't worry, I won't make any mistakes."
There was no mistaking whether this was a business matter or a private matter. Shen Zangfeng had a hand in it, but he didn't bother to explain...
When he got up the next day, Wei Changying asked while dressing up: "I forgot to ask you yesterday. The fifth and sixth brothers came to you to tell you about their experiences, but they want you to find a place for them? You have to go there today. Are you going to play? But the horses that the fifth brother and the sixth brother are riding are similar to the ones you are riding now. Should we wait for two days and send someone to Xiliang to bring over the Gu family's rouge horse? "
"What are our identities? That Di girl is not even the daughter of Wugumeng. She is just one of the many cousins in the tribe of Wugumeng's mother's family. Because of her superb riding and archery skills, many warriors among the Di people are not allowed to lead them. She came here on an errand. It's because the fifth and sixth brothers were careless that they were caught by her." Shen Zangfeng had dressed up early and helped her, holding the hairpin ring in hand. Hearing this, he mumbled. "Leave her alone, I don't have the time to compete with her!"
Wei Changying turned to smile at him and said: "Isn't this not good? Since she mentioned the competition, we all accepted it, but we all lost. But now there is no competition, which is not to make people whisper. Are we afraid of her?"
Shen Zangfeng smiled and said: "After all, the fifth brother and the sixth brother have lost so many times, and they have already lost face. Besides, who is stronger and weaker between the two countries, how can it be decided in just a few competitions? Even if Lady Di defeated all the men in Xiliang in riding and shooting, wouldn’t Wu Gumeng be asking us now?” He then said, “Let the fifth and sixth brothers worry about it, and they can settle the troubles they caused themselves.” It’s time to teach them a lesson so they don’t go around messing around and taking it for granted.”
Wei Changying just mentioned it casually, but when Shen Zangfeng didn't accept it, he wanted to take this opportunity to teach Shen Zangji and Shen Liankun a lesson, so he said nothing.
She finished dressing up, and when she arrived at the front hall, Shen Shuyan had already been cleaned up by her wet nurse and the maids, and she was brought over to wait. Today, the little niece wears two long black braids, with two rows of seven or eight wishful knots tied with colorful ribbons on the top, and a long palace ribbon tassel hanging from the bottom, falling on the snow-green ground with a mandala pattern of broken branches. The Sichuan brocade cardigan is very cute.
Shen Zangfeng looked at it and praised the hair style. It looked lively and energetic. Shen Shuyan was very happy to hear the praise from her uncle and aunt, and she kept playing with the ears with her hands during breakfast.
Because Shen Zangfeng didn't intend to pay attention to Lady Di's challenge, he finished his meal and asked his servant to bring the snack box. The couple continued to go sightseeing nearby as planned.
Unexpectedly, just after leaving the door, she heard the jingling of bells outside the carriage from far to near. Shen Shuyan was curious, opened the curtain and took a look outside. She immediately turned her head, her eyes lit up, and she said excitedly: "Three Auntie, that horse behind is so beautiful!”
"Beautiful?" Wei Changying didn't pay much attention to the sound of the bell at first, but his curiosity aroused after his niece said this. He followed her and looked through the curtain, and saw a horse that was all red, like a ball of fire. With a silver bell tied around his neck and colorful reins, he was chasing the carriage with his long and graceful four hooves!
Wei Changying stared at the fiery red horse for several breaths before looking at the rider. As expected, it was a Di girl. She snorted secretly, pulled her niece's sleeve, and said with a smile: "Let your uncles go back and ask around to see if there is such a pony and get one for Yan'er to play with." She then coaxed her, "On the street. "Come on, people are coming and going, please come back and sit down, don't look at it."
Shen Shuyan stared at the horse with a look of reluctance. No wonder she liked it so much - this red horse was so awesome!
The rouge horse that Gu Rouzhang was forced to stay was also a red horse, but the red color of the rouge horse was a faint crimson color. Although it is good-looking, it is not as bright and eye-catching as this horse's coat, which is dripping with blood all the way! Especially in the early morning, when the morning light is shining, it looks like a horse on fire. Its tendons are strong and graceful when running, with indescribable dynamics and tension, and indescribable nobility and elegance - Shen Shuyan doesn't understand horses, but she He is extremely talented in literary matters and has an almost innate ability to appreciate beauty, so he is bound to be fascinated by it.
After being pulled back to the car by Wei Changying, Shen Shuyan still felt unfinished and said, "Third Aunt, how about we send someone to inquire about the price now?"
"Don't worry, I'm afraid your third uncle has some official business to deal with. Let's just listen first." The two times that Wei Changying came to Diecui Pass, he had never heard of such a fiery red horse in Guanzhong. , if there was, I am afraid it would have been sent to Shen Zangfeng or his own stable. Then I saw a Di girl sitting on the horse, and I still don’t know who it is
While coaxing his niece, Wei Changying thought: "This daughter Di took the initiative to compete with the fifth and sixth brothers yesterday, and they both lost miserably. Although the fifth and sixth brothers sued her husband, However, the husband intends to temper them, but he intends to stand by and do not want to intervene immediately. In this way, he also leaves the people from the Hougomon tribe alone... This intention is not difficult to guess, but although the husband is kind to the family, he is not very friendly to outsiders, especially the Di people. I don’t always have a good face. I don’t know what will happen to this Di person if she catches up with her today? Or is there any good way for her to avoid the wrath of her husband’s impatient entanglement? "
She hugged Shen Shuyan and sat quietly in the car. Sure enough, not long after, she heard the sound of the bell tied to the horse's neck. A female voice with an obvious foreign accent said in unskilled Mandarin: "Master Shen, Mrs. Wei, please Stay!”
Wei Changying followed his niece and looked outside for a while before he guessed that Di Nu, who was sent by the Wugumeng tribe to ask for cattle and sheep in exchange for baggage, was here. Shen Zangfeng outside also knew the identity of the visitor. Through the curtain of the car, Wei Changying heard the shouts of her husband's servants: "Damn! My young master and young lady are about to go out of town to play. Who dares to stop me and ruin my master's fun?"
"I'm here to deliver the horse." Lady Di answered loudly, but everyone inside and outside the car was stunned.
Just listen to her hurried explanation, "The Gahu tribe that Ayitahu bribed not only cheated my brother of a one-of-a-kind horse, but also caused Mrs. Wei to narrowly escape death! Although this matter is not Our clan did it, but it frightened Mrs. Wei, and our clan felt very guilty, so this time I was sent to bring this 'Red Flame' to give to Mrs. Wei as a token of appreciation!"
Shen Shuyan in the car didn't understand much of what was said in front of her, but she understood the last sentence. Her eyes suddenly lit up and she said happily: "Third Aunt, can you lend me a ride later?"
"Shh." Wei Changying made a silencing gesture.
Shen Zangfeng said slowly: "A horse from the Wugumeng tribe?"
Anyone who knows what happened to Wei Changying in that time can understand the meaning behind his words.
The Lady Di let out a burst of laughter like silver bells, and said cheerfully: "Master Shen, our tribe is now a defeated general, how dare we have any bad thoughts? I sincerely sent the horse to Mrs. Wei on behalf of my brother. . If Mr. Shen is not at ease, you can ask your horse trainer to examine Chiyan. If there is any problem, just chop off my head, no problem!" (To be continued)
