The first snow since the beginning of winter has been drifting for a whole day, and the wind is only a little bit weaker in the evening.Shen Hexi and his men stood outside the east gate of Dunliang City, anxiously waiting for his mother's convoy.At noon, he received the news that his mother's motorcade would be able to reach Dunliang City in the afternoon, but now it was dark, but Liu Qinghe's motorcade still could not be seen, Shen Hexi was a little anxious.

"My lord, do you want me to go ahead and have a look." Seeing the gloomy expression on Shen Hexi's face, Yan Nu said.

"I'll go by myself." With that said, Shen Hexi got on his horse and galloped away.

He led his men and horses and galloped for twenty miles, and it was completely dark. From a distance, he saw lights in front of him, and the whip in his hand crackled, why did his mother's convoy delay here.

The closer Shen Hexi got, the more frightened he became. In the cold wind, he faintly smelled a bloody smell.

"Who's in front?" Shen Hexi was stopped by several guards holding bows and arrows when he was still more than 200 meters away from the convoy.

"Shen Hexi." Shen Hexi announced his name loudly.

"It's the young master, General, it's the young master." The guard holding the bow and arrow shouted extremely excitedly.

Shen Yunping who was sitting in the carriage opened the curtain abruptly and said, "Why is Xi'er here?"

"Father." Shen Hexi jumped off the horse and greeted him. Through the dim candlelight in front of the carriage, Shen Hexi could clearly see that Shen Yunping's arms were hanging, as if injured.

"Father, what's the matter?"

"On the way we came, we met spies from the Snow Country, and we just fought with them." With a smile on his face, Shen Yunping patted Shen Hexi on the shoulder and said, "I've grown taller and stronger."

Now Shen Hexi didn't have time to listen to his father praise him, and said eagerly, "Mother and sister are good."

"With your father, the great general, still unable to protect your mother and younger sister, but Min'er was frightened and is still sleeping. Let's get into the carriage and talk."

After all, Liu Qinghe was a woman who grew up in the inner house, so she was really shocked when she was attacked suddenly.And Min'er was just a child, she had seen such a battle there, she was so scared that she even forgot to cry on the spot.After Shen Yunping killed the spies and coaxed Min'er for a long time, she burst into tears.

Their convoy was delayed a lot of time by the attack, and some people were injured, so the speed of their journey slowed down.

Liu Qinghe had heard Shen Hexi's voice a long time ago in the carriage, but Min'er in her arms had just slept for a while, so she didn't dare to move, and waited for a long time before she saw her son open the curtain and come in.

"Mother" Shen Hexi's eyes were red, if he hadn't come to see him, his mother would not have been frightened by this.

Although Liu Qinghe had a smile on her face, her pale face was deeply tired.

"Let Xi'er worry." Liu Qinghe stretched out his hand and gently touched Shen Hexi's black hair with snowflakes, and continued, "Mother is fine, but Min'er seems to be frightened, and I need to ask the imperial doctor to take a look when I arrive at the palace later."

"Mother, don't worry, I've sent someone back to prepare." Shen Hexi knew he was cold, so he didn't get too close to Liu Qinghe. He and Shen Yunping sat a little outside the carriage.

Because Min'er was sleeping, the two of them didn't dare to speak too loudly, "Father, why did the spies from Xue Country come to Dunliang City?"

"This time the Snow Nation's army went south. They divided into two groups. One route went directly to Yong'an City, and the other route came to the northwest. I still don't see their intentions. I guess they want to find a way out for themselves. If the attack on Yong'an City fails, they are going to retreat to the northwest, where the land is vast and sparsely populated, and it may not be easy to send a large army to wipe them out." Shen Yunping guessed seven points correctly, the new emperor of the Snow Kingdom is referring to the previous Snow Kingdom and Aoki came up with such a trick after countless battles.

Snow Country once invaded Qingmu on a large scale, and that battle lasted for five full years. If it wasn’t for the civil strife in Xue Country at that time, the soldiers of Snow Country who had been stationed in the northwest of Qingmu wouldn’t have been killed a few months after the defeat. .

Now the new emperor in Snow Country is the only one, and he killed all his brothers for the sake of the throne. He is completely lonely. Even if someone wants to rebel, he doesn't even have a prince who can support him.

However, the new emperor of the Snow Country did not copy it completely. After he was going to win the Northwest, he would directly let the people of the Snow Country migrate from the snow field. The Snow Country people have already taken root, and it will be difficult for Aoki to regain the Northwest.

The new emperor of Xueguo thought very well, but he forgot to include Lord Shen, the rich man in the Northwest, he only thought that King Dunliang was a child, and he could easily grasp Dunliang City if he wanted it.

This time, it was also fortunate that Shen Yunping accidentally met the spies from the Snow Country. These spies had just arrived in the Northwest, and before they could find any useful information, they were picked up by Shen Yunping.This is also Shen Hexi's good luck. With this incident, he was given a lot of time to prepare.

In the night, accompanied by howling north wind and fine snowflakes, the convoy finally entered the palace.Min'er didn't sleep well, she woke up early on the way, she has grown up a lot, she already has the appearance of a lady, maybe she was frightened, she didn't talk much along the way, she spent most of the time by Liu Qinghe's side .

Immediately after returning to the palace, the imperial physician came to check Min'er's pulse.Fortunately, Min'er was fine, the imperial physician prescribed a prescription, saying that she would be fine after drinking the tranquilizing medicine twice.

Min'er was fine, but Shen Yunping was seriously injured, his arm was attached to his back, and the foot-long wound made both Shen and Xi feel pain.

That night, the palace was brightly lit, and Shen and Xi slept for two hours until it was almost dawn.Before he could get enough sleep, Yan Nu knocked on the door. He had already notified the Shihu Army, and now Shen Fang and Jiang Feng were already waiting in the front hall.

Shen Hexi rubbed his eyes, and asked Yu Rong to help him put on his outer robe with a sigh of relief.

Most of the northwestern side is his fiefdom, and the Snow Country has always occupied his place, so I have to ask him if he agrees.

"My lord's matter is very important. Shall we give the emperor a note." After all, Shen Fang is an old man in the army, and he is extremely cautious in doing things.Give the emperor a booklet, and they will be able to pick themselves clean if they are to be pursued in the future.

"You don't need to read the booklet, the emperor is afraid that we can't control this small desolate place in the northwest." Shen Hexi guessed in his heart, according to what Shen Yunping said yesterday, most of the Snow Country's army went to attack Yong'an City, and only a small part came. Northwest, after all, Northwest is a poor place, there are few defenders here, let's take Tucheng as an example, so the total number of soldiers is only a few thousand, if the Snow Country invades, I'm afraid they can occupy Tucheng without fighting.

"You send people to find out how many people are in the army from the snow country to the northwest. We only have 2 ligers and tigers. If there is too much difference between the two armies, we need to make plans early." Shen Hexi ordered.

"Yes, I'll arrange it right now," Jiang Feng said.

After Jiang Feng left, Shen Hexi continued to say to Shen Fang, "General Shen, should the villages and towns in Dunliang Mansion also be notified to let the militiamen practice, so that if the Snow Country raids the surrounding small villages and towns, they will not be too passive."

"Yes, we should release the news and let the villages and towns pay more attention. If the Snow Country invades, everyone can support each other."

Shen Hexi talked to Linghuzheng and Jiang Yun again in the study, and it wasn't until Liu Qinghe came to him that he remembered, oh, I haven't had breakfast yet.Now look at the time is noon, no wonder he feels hungry.

"Xi'er, you have to pay attention to your health." Liu Qinghe looked at her son with sleepy eyes, her heart ached.

"Well, mother, don't worry about me. Min'er woke up. She was frightened yesterday." Shen Hexi took a sip of strong tea, the bitter taste spread in his mouth, and his somewhat confused mind instantly became clear.

"Min'er is much better in the morning, and she has been asking why her brother didn't come to see her all morning." Liu Qinghe said with a smile.What comforted her most was that although the two children did not see each other often, their relationship was indeed very good.

"When I'm busy in the morning, I forget the time. Now I'm going to see Min'er."

"Don't worry, you can wash up first, sleep for a while after lunch, and go to see Min'er in the afternoon." Does Liu Qinghe know her son? She is very tired, and there is already a smile in her eyes. Bloodshot, as a teenager, it would be difficult for him to manage such a large Dunliang Mansion.

With Liu Qinghe watching, Shen Hexi could only rest obediently. After waking up in the afternoon, he got his mother's permission to go to the backyard to see Min'er.

Liu Qinghe still lived in Wangyue Tower this time. Min'er vaguely remembered the time when she and her brother enjoyed the shade on the upstairs terrace when she was young. After a few years, both of them have grown up, and Min'er is also a big girl. When I was a child, I was so clingy to my brother.

Compared with Shen Hexi's jumping-off, Min'er belongs to the kind of very quiet girl, she has a relaxed smile, and when she sees her brother, even if she is very happy in her heart, she only shows a faint smile on her face.

"Brother." Min'er was wearing a shredded brocade jacket, the baby fat was still on her face, she looked half like Liu Qinghe, she looked extremely cute.

"Min'er has grown up, and she used to rush towards her elder brother when she was far away." Shen Hexi teased.

Min'er's face quickly turned red, and she said softly, "Brother, don't make fun of Min'er."

"You know how to bully my sister." Liu Qinghe said with a smile.

The charcoal basin was no longer used in Wangyue Tower, and floor heating was used instead. Snowflakes were falling outside the window, but the house was full of warmth. The three of their mothers sat together and chatted.For a moment, Shen Hexi felt that everything was not so real.

This is his life, walking out of this door, he is Prince Shen, who wants to support the people of Dunliang Mansion, but in this room, he is just Liu Qinghe's son, Min'er's elder brother, nothing more.
