Madam Hong Yingrong, wife of Marquis Xingyuan, lived a life of wealth and luxury, adorned in fine silks and delicious food.
Those around her constantly painted a picture of peace, allowing he...
It is no exaggeration to say that since the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty by Emperor Taizu, the Western Rong people have repeatedly attempted to invade the Central Plains, but they all failed because of these three words.
However, Nurhadu first heard of this prestigious title from his mother, Zheng Qingfen, who had once told him her past in a gentle and nostalgic tone.
At this moment, as Nurha galloped on his horse, the whistling wind sounded as if his mother's gentle voice was ringing in his ears again.
"At that time, your grandfather was sent by the imperial court to the western border as a tax collector. Your grandmother died young, so I accompanied him to that remote border town.
At that time, the Xingyuan Army of the Great Zhou was stationed outside the town, and the soldiers would often go to the town to purchase the necessary medicines and dry food.
I originally thought that the soldiers fighting on the battlefield must be ferocious, but there was a soldier among them who had elegant manners and was always humble and polite in dealing with others. He looked like a scholar who was well-read in poetry and books.

One day, the Xirong royal court's army suddenly attacked the town. Your grandfather was on duty at the city gate that day and was unfortunately killed.

They were only a dozen people, but faced with hundreds of fierce cavalrymen from the Western Rong. Even so, they remained fearless and fought hard.
Unfortunately, they were outnumbered. Before the reinforcements arrived, another group of Xirong people broke into the town.
Coincidentally, the soldier was outnumbered in the fight and hid in my yard.
At that time, I had learned the bad news about your grandfather and cried heartbrokenly. The soldier was also seriously injured and blood was flowing from his arm.
'Girl, run away!'
These were the last words he said to me.
But I didn't want to escape, I wanted to save him!
So, I hid him with straw, then ran out of the yard, successfully leading away the Xirong people who were about to enter the yard..."
