"What did you say?!"

Suddenly hearing the news of Nalan Xue's death, the adjutant stood up in shock. Because he stood up too quickly, his center of gravity was unstable. He took two or three steps back and bumped into a table before he managed to stand still.

"You just said... who did they kill? Which... Princess Nalan?"

"Look at your drunken words! How many more Princess Nalan can there be! Of course it is the heroine of Nalan Mansion, Nalan Xue, Princess Nalan!"

The tavern owner smiled bitterly and shook his head. He was not surprised at all that the adjutant would react like this. He took it upon himself to get the wine jar, filled up the two empty wine bowls, and moved towards the stool in front of the table.

She nuzzled her lips and motioned for him to come back and sit down, "Hey, it's true that good people don't live long! How can such a good person like the princess die just like that?! I'm really looking forward to waking up and waking up tomorrow morning.

How could someone scold me and say I was dreaming!"

"Princess Princess...how did she die?"

The adjutant took a deep breath, walked back to the table with great effort, and finished slowly, but he was no longer in the mood to drink, so he only raised his head and looked at the shopkeeper.

It still seems like yesterday that Nalan Xue led ten thousand light cavalry and rushed thousands of miles to the border town for support.

For the adjutant who had witnessed her heroic demeanor from beginning to end, fought against enemies with her, and regarded her as a place of faith in his life, her "death" was no different than thunder from the blue!

"At noon, I heard a city guard say that he was kidnapped by the bandits outside the door and pushed down the cliff to death. His Majesty took people. He went down to the bottom of the cliff to search for him all night, and saw...

...Her body has been torn and chewed into countless pieces by a pack of wild wolves..."

Having said this, the shopkeeper paused for a moment, grabbed the wine bowl on the table, and poured more than half of the bowl of wine into his mouth, "The emperor was severely hit by this incident. When he came back, he was suffering from dementia.

It seems that I saw with my own eyes that he took off his dragon robe and used it as a burden to carry the remains of the princess. He came back wearing only his middle coat... There were bloodstains all over his body. He ordered those people to be skinned alive.

He didn't blink an eyelid, he was like an evil ghost crawling out from the ground, how scary it is, how scary it is!"

"Your Majesty has long been in love with the princess. As early as when the princess chose the fifth prince as her son-in-law, he suffered from a mental illness. I'm afraid this time..."

The adjutant sighed softly. He took a deep breath, picked up the wine bowl on the table, and took a big sip. He felt that the hot wine flowed down his throat, making his whole body warm all of a sudden.

I got up, and the coldness that had lasted until now disappeared. "Where is the princess's body buried? Tomorrow, I want to bring some wine, food, and incense to worship...

…When we were at war with Italy, we had to take care of her a lot…”

"This wish of yours will probably not come true!"

The shopkeeper swallowed lightly, took the chopsticks on the table, picked up a handful of green vegetables, and put it into his mouth, "When the emperor left, he took her with him. Some people said that the emperor wanted to take her body back with him.

, I’m going to get married on a certain date, I don’t know if it’s true or not…”

"In the afternoon, after watching the skinning of the bandits, several wealthy households in the city paid some money and said they planned to build a tomb for the princess outside the city. The construction should start tomorrow..."

Talking about the fact that someone wanted to build a tomb for Nalan Xue, the shopkeeper paused for a moment, grabbed the wine jar, poured more than half of the bowl into his own bowl, "If you ask me, spending money to build a tomb is not a good idea.

No matter what, if there is a need, let me pawn this shop and donate money, and I will be willing to do so. The main reason is that I am short of clothes and can't find anything that the princess wore during her lifetime. I just build an empty tomb. How can anyone do it?

Worship? Tsk, I’m just talking about those people who, just for fame and fame, use the princess’s tomb as a gimmick to enhance their own reputation. They are really bastards! The emperor should behead them all!”

"At any rate, it's my intention to build the tomb first so that we can find the things we want to put inside later."

The adjutant stretched out his right hand with some embarrassment and patted the shopkeeper's shoulder gently. His left hand, which was shrunk in his sleeve, instinctively touched the purse on his waist.

Inside, there was a Nalan Xue's handkerchief. In the past, when Mo Yi and his two countries were at war, he was wounded by a knife. Nalan Xue used it to bandage him. Later, after his injury healed, he used it for his own selfish reasons.

, she cleaned it quietly, had someone sew it into a purse, and kept it close to her body without giving it back to her.

This thing can indeed be regarded as Nalan Xue's "lifetime clothes", but asking him to take it out is even more impossible than killing him! This is what the princess left for him, and it can only be regarded as a thought.

When he returned to Jishui City, he planned to have someone make a beautiful box, put it inside, and burn incense to worship it every day!

…

In the early morning of the next day, as soon as the gate of Linshui City opened, the adjutant rode out and headed straight for Jishui City.

Nalan Xue died, and she was still pushed off the cliff and died without a complete body. This is not a trivial matter!

Outside Jishui City, 30,000 Shang cavalry brought by Shang Fusu, as well as other Shang soldiers and horses who are coming one after another... After learning this news, can they still be as calm as they are now?

?

The adjutant knew that the existing 10,000 garrison troops in Jishui City were not even enough to put a gap in the teeth of the Shang army. At that time, the main reason why he dared to leave only a few soldiers to garrison was because of the Nalan family.

"Support", even if the two young masters of the Nalan family retired from court... But based on their friendship with Yuchi Gong, if Jishui City is in trouble, they will not sit idly by and ignore it... But now,

If the reason why the Shang Kingdom went to war was because of Nalanxue's death...

There is no doubt that the two young masters of the Nalan family, if they did not help Shang Fusu, would have given Yuchi Gong enough face!

After riding fast for hundreds of miles, the adjutant returned to Jishui City near noon.

As soon as he got off his horse, he saw Yu Chigong striding towards him. The anxiety in his eyes could be seen without saying a word.

"How's it going? Is there any news?!"

As Yuchi Gong spoke, he gave his adjutant a hand to prevent him from falling to the ground after riding fast, saying, "I heard from the merchants who came back from the Shang Kingdom... the people around the border town

, have begun to spontaneously contribute the food stored at home to feed the army... Many old soldiers and generals who have returned home to work in the fields have begun to spend their own money to have craftsmen repair weapons, waiting for the call from the army, and then go to the army...

In each city, recruitment signs began to be put up one after another. Those who went to apply for the army formed a queue of more than ten meters. More than a dozen people registered, and they were all busy..."

"The princess is dead."

Even with all his reluctance, he could not change the fact that "Nalanxue is dead." The adjutant clenched his fists and no longer had the courage to even raise his head to look at Yu Chigong. "He was pushed off the cliff by bandits and bitten by wild wolves.

After chewing, not even the whole corpse was left..."

"nonsense!"

This news obviously stimulated Yu Chigong, who was already nervous. Before he could finish his words, he interrupted him with a scolding, "Xue'er girl... how could she be such a smart and wise person?

Die if you say so! The hundreds of thousands of Italian troops can't do anything to her, and a few bandits don't matter! How can we say she's dead when we haven't even seen her body?! Where's the evidence?! Where's the evidence!

"

"Just yesterday, the emperor took all the soldiers in Linshui City to rescue Zhiwei Mountain. Unexpectedly, those bandits were so arrogant that they not only killed the princess, but also entered the city while there were no soldiers in the city.

Burning and killing the people, when my subordinates arrived at Linshui City, they saw with their own eyes that hundreds of bandits were skinned alive and nailed to death outside the south city gate for birds, insects and ants to gnaw at them."

Having said this, the adjutant paused for a moment, raised his head slightly, glanced at Yu Chigong's already ugly face, bit his lip, and continued, "There are rumors that the emperor has issued a decree that no one is allowed to give money to those

The bandits collected the corpses, waiting for them to turn into piles of bones there, without a place to bury them, and... the few remaining remains of the princess were also taken back to Zhaoyang City by the emperor. It is said that

, I plan to... choose a day to seal the queen..."

"Choose a day to seal the queen?!"

After Yuchi Gong heard this report from his adjutant, his expression suddenly turned even worse. He turned around and walked quickly to the backyard of the City Lord's Mansion.

This is no small matter!

He has to make a good calculation with Sima Ying!

Sima Yu, the emperor of the Mo Kingdom, actually wanted to marry a dead man as his queen, and use himself as a living person to marry Nalan Xue, who had never had a matchmaker before... This, let alone a large army

Shang Fusu, who was under pressure, couldn't accept it. Even the late emperor, Sima Qing, who abdicated before, was furious!

Although Sima Qing has abdicated, he has not completely handed over the tiger talisman in his hand. If Sima Yu really angered him, it would be easy for him to send troops and force Sima Yu to abdicate!

At that time, the Shang army was threatening the country outside, there was concern about the instability of the imperial power at home, and there was a lack of good generals and troops in the country... The country of Mo will undoubtedly become an old tree without its roots. When the storm comes, it will be destroyed.

There is a danger of falling over!

Paper can never cover the fire. There are businessmen from the Mo Kingdom on the Shang Kingdom. Naturally, there are also businessmen from the Shang Kingdom on the Mo Kingdom. When they go back, they will tell Shang Fu about what happened in Linshui City.

Su, I'm afraid... it's time for Shang to send troops to Jishui City!

He must discuss a good strategy with Sima Ying before this happens and give Shang Fusu an acceptable answer. At least, he must make him promise not to bring trouble to the people of the country after breaking the city!

I don’t know... how to find the two brothers Nalan Ji and Nalan Shuna, tell them about Nalan Xue’s death, and let them... (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation
