Wei Yunlan only remembered this incident when he saw the plum blossom birthmark on Miss Huang’s face.
At that time, the North Gate was lost, and the Northern Barbarian cavalry who broke into the gate were smashing, looting, burning, raping women, and doing all kinds of evil. Every day, worse news reached the capital.
The female army led by the "heroine" Miss Huang cut off the head of an enemy general. This was the only exciting news coming back from the north for quite a long time.
If Miss Huang had not died in the battle not long after the news was reported back, there would have been a voice in the court proposing to Emperor Xiaoming that Miss Huang be promoted to general, given military power over the Northern Pass, and allowed to temporarily replace General Shi, leading the remaining soldiers in the north to rebuild a line of defense for Dayong.
It’s a pity that the proposal was made too late.
No matter how brave and fearless Miss Huang and the female army and the small number of troops she called upon were, they could not resist the tens of thousands of Northern Barbarian cavalry.
Not to mention, there are so many "worms" in Beiguan who are holding her back.
"I like this story." Miss Huang's eyes lit up and her face was full of longing.
Aside from the part about getting married, the heroine in the story is exactly what she wants to be.
Just like the heroine in the story, she had no interest in music, chess, calligraphy, or painting since she was a child, and only loved wielding swords and guns.
She also understood that the battlefield was full of dangers and that swords and knives were merciless, but in her heart, riding a horse and holding a gun, going into battle to kill the enemy, even if she died on the battlefield, was better than staying at home as a housewife taking care of her husband and children!
The heroine's story was not long, but it made her feel emotional.
After listening to the whole story, her unhappy mood caused by the plotting against her marriage was relieved a lot.
"Thank you for telling this story." Miss Huang said seriously.
The breeze blew the leaves in the yard and also blew her hair, but this time she didn't care.
"I haven't asked for your name yet. I wonder if I can invite you to my home when you have time later?" Miss Huang asked politely.
She arrived quite early today, and as soon as she entered the Liang family, she was invited to the warm room where the second wife of Liang was. She was completely unaware of what had happened between Miss Qiu and Wei Yunlan at the gate of the mansion.
"Of course you can. Miss Huang can just send someone to my house." Wei Yunlan smiled and nodded, and replied, "My last name is Wei, and my home is in Jingping Lane in the south of the city."
The rich and powerful in Beiguan mostly have their homes in the northern half of the city.
Among the guests attending the banquet today, there are no more than three who live in the south of the city, except the Wei family, and they are all located at the junction of the north and the south.
Living as far south as the South Gate, I'm afraid the only family is the Wei family.
However, Miss Huang's expression did not change after hearing this, and she still said politely, "Then I will call you Yunlan? You don't have to be so unfamiliar. Call me Miss Huang anymore, just call me Yuling."
Wei Yunlan nodded and called out "Yuling" obediently.
Huang Yuling was the name of the heroine in the story she had just told.
"Sister Huang, you were hiding here. It took me so long to find you!"
A voice with a hint of anger came from behind the bushes.
A light mauve figure came out from behind the tree, glanced at Wei Yunlan curiously, then sat down next to Huang Yuling, pouting and complaining, "This flower viewing banquet is so boring. Apart from the rare pair of storks, there's really nothing interesting at all."
"I just followed Miss Liang around for a while, and guess what, she asked me whether I wanted to write poetry or paint? Misses in Beijing can only recite poetry and paint, and have no other entertainment, really..."
"Cough." Huang Yuling coughed lightly, interrupting the woman's endless complaints.
He looked at Wei Yunlan apologetically and explained, "Yunlan, Tu You was outspoken and didn't mean to offend you."
Then he said to the woman in a lilac dress with puzzled eyes, "Yunlan is from the capital."
"Ah." The woman quickly folded her hands and knelt towards Wei Yunlan, explaining, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I just wanted to say that the Liang family's banquet was boring, I really didn't mean anything else, please don't misunderstand me."
"It's okay, I didn't think much about it." Wei Yunlan smiled and shook his head.
At this time, she had already remembered who the woman who suddenly appeared in front of her was.
Tu You was the daughter of Tu Di, the guerrilla general of the Northern Army.
In the story of the heroine that was spread back to the capital, she was also one of the most important right-hand men of the heroine Huang Yuling in the female army under her command!
Don't be fooled by her petite figure and cute looks, she is actually quite good with a whip. It is said that the enemy general who was beheaded by Huang Yuling had his right hand entangled by the whip swung by Tu You, which prevented him from escaping in time.
And in Huang Yuling's army of women, another important right-hand man...
In the story that was passed back to the capital, the name was not mentioned in detail, or perhaps Wei Yunlan was mentioned but did not remember it.
But Wei Yunlan vaguely remembered the description of that person.
She is tall, pretty, and has a temper like a firecracker that can be ignited at any time.
In order to join the women's army, he turned against his family and even stole the military supervision order at home to mobilize more food, grass, and horses for Huang Yuling...
Who else could this be if not Miss Qiu, with whom she almost had a conflict at the gate of Liang Mansion?
As I was thinking about it, I heard noise coming from the garden outside again.
He moved his body slightly, avoiding the obstruction of the bushes and looking out. The two parties in the dispute were Miss Qiu and Mr. Liang.
It was not clear what the cause was, but we knew that Miss Qiu was pointing at Mr. Liang's nose and cursing him non-stop.
"But I can only write a few sarcastic lines. What's the point of poetry?"
"Don't look down on others. Don't you see your own small body? Who can you beat here?"
"Don't even think about competing with my brother. Even I can beat you down with just one hand!"
"Tsk, don't think this is still the capital, this is the North Gate, be smart and behave yourself from now on!"
Young Master Liang's originally handsome face was scolded so much that it looked like a color palette was blurred, with some colors turning blue and some purple. His frail body was staggering, and he looked like he was about to faint from being scolded.
Beside him, the second son of the Liang family just stood there and watched, just like the first son of the Liang family had done when Huang Yuling didn't give him face just now. Not far away, several young men from the north also looked like they were enjoying the show.
At this moment, Madam Liang, who had not yet shown up at today's flower-viewing banquet, walked into the garden surrounded by several maids.
He looked around and saw his eldest son's obviously bad face. His brows slightly frowned, but then quickly returned to normal.
Maintaining a calm and composed appearance, he slowly spoke, pretending to be clueless and asked: "I just heard a commotion over here. What's going on?"
