Chapter 234 Wei Dongzhu regains his identity!
He casually tossed a piece of dried meat to Xiaoxue and gently raised his arm.
Xiaoxue knew what it meant and immediately spread her wings and flew into the air.
Balu dismounted and looked solemnly at Shen Lanxi.
"Those who can communicate with the gods do not lie. I believe you!"
Balu, a member of the Oirat tribe, dismounted and followed suit, bowing with one hand to Shen Lanxi.
Shen Lanxi turned around and said, "Let's go!"
Xiao Fang caught up with her: "General, should we ask them if they were the ones who threw stones in Wolf Valley earlier?"
Shen Lanxi: "No need to ask anymore. It's pointless."
Even if they threw it, so what? Kill them all?
These people are still useful!
"Send a message to Hu Zhu!"
Xiao Fang nodded: "Yes!"
...
The members of the delegation would occasionally steal glances at Shen Lanxi.
They would occasionally discuss it.
"Didn't you say at the welcoming banquet that the Prince of Zhennan was being accommodating to General Shen?"
"He whipped the horse to death with one blow, and killed several people as well. All the Oirat people followed obediently behind without daring to utter a sound. You call that yielding?"
"What if the Prince of Zhennan is even more powerful? Don't forget that the Prince of Zhennan is the God of War of the Great Zhou Dynasty."
"According to you, how powerful must the God of War be!"
While resting that evening, Xiao went out and hunted two wild rabbits before returning.
"General, this is cumin rabbit meat roasted using our family's ancestral recipe. Please try it!" Xiao Fang broke off the legs of both rabbits and brought them to Shen Lanxi.
"I sprinkled some foreign spices on top, making it numbing and spicy. I never imagined that something used as a flower garnish in the capital would smell so good after being roasted and ground into powder!"
Shen Lanxi picked up a foreleg and smelled it; it did indeed smell very good.
"General, what should we do about Yuan Jing's matter?"
Shen Lanxi raised an eyebrow: "Did he send you to ask?"
Xiao Fang immediately denied it.
"No, he didn't let me ask. I just came from his place to bring him some medicine and food. Zhou Yunyue was guarding the door, acting shamelessly, I really couldn't stand it anymore!"
Shen Lanxi called Ban Sicao over to eat rabbit meat together.
"Zhou Yunyue's mother was a palace maid in the Yeting Palace. She was conceived because His Majesty was drunk. The palace maid kept it a secret until Zhou Yunyue was six years old. The palace maid died of a terrible disease, and only then did the palace learn of her existence."
Ban Sicao: "I feel like this is a bit impossible."
Xiao Fang frowned slightly when he saw Ban Sicao pick up a rabbit foreleg and start eating it without any hesitation. The rabbit foreleg is the most tender, but also has the least meat. There were only four in total; even the general wouldn't be full.
Shen Lanxi: "Regardless of the reason, since Zhou Yunyue is of royal blood, the royal family will absolutely not allow her to continue living in the Yeting Palace. She is disliked by the royal family because her mother was a palace maid. I didn't see her much during the years I was in the palace!"
When Ban Sicao heard her say that, she couldn't help but become interested in her life in the palace.
"I heard that when you were in the palace, you didn't even respect the princesses and princes?"
Shen Lanxi's eyes flickered. She hadn't understood before, only assuming it was because the Empress Dowager and the Emperor favored her. Having died once, she realized this was tantamount to being praised to death!
She could sense that the Empress Dowager truly doted on her, but the Emperor... that was another matter.
"I spend most of my time in the Empress Dowager's palace, so some of the rumors are untrue. I don't disregard anyone; it's just that when something happens, they're the first ones to be reprimanded!"
Ban Sicao twitched her lips and asked, "If you and the princess both take a liking to the same thing, do you think the Empress Dowager would give it to you?"
Shen Lanxi gave him a long, thoughtful look, and after a while, she said truthfully, "The Empress Dowager does indeed favor me."
Xiao Fang was also somewhat dumbfounded.
"What if we run into a prince?"
That's a damn clever question!
Shen Lanxi: "That depends on what it is!"
Ban Sicao looked at her in surprise: "So, if it's something a woman wants to use, the prince should give it to you?"
Shen Lanxi recalled for a moment: "That's right!"
Ban Sicao blurted out without thinking, "Those princes and princesses must hate you to death!"
Shen Lanxi froze, and a chilling light suddenly flashed in her eyes.
Her appearance terrified Ban Sicao and Xiao Fang.
Did they say anything taboo?
The way she looked, I was really afraid she would pull out a knife and slash at them at any moment.
After a long time
Shen Lanxi chuckled softly; she was truly blinded by her own involvement!
Unexpectedly, a casual remark by Ban Sicao broadened her thinking.
It's highly likely that someone from the royal family poisoned her!
“Indeed, many people hate me to death. If I were to be poisoned to death one day, no one would know who the murderer is!” Shen Lanxi said with a half-smile.
Ban Sicao shivered and grabbed another rabbit leg.
"Don't worry, I'll test the poison for you, I guarantee no one can kill you!"
Xiao Fang stared at the rabbit leg in Ban Sicao's hand, somewhat speechless.
"I'll give Shen Yuanjing time. If he can't handle it himself, then I'll step in!" If she has to intervene in everything, Shen Yuanjing should just go back to his studies!
Xiao felt reassured and thought he would find an opportunity to visit Shen Yuanjing again later and tell him what had happened.
This guy was really unlucky, and he was really too careless. I believe that after this experience, he will definitely grow into a man who can stand on his own!
Qian Feng and Wei Dongzhu arrived one after the other, less than a day before they were to reach Huangtu City!
"General!"
Wei Dongzhu's heart raced, and his fingers trembled with excitement.
Shen Lanxi raised an eyebrow, looked at Wei Dongzhu, and her gaze fell on the mask covering his face.
Then she took out the Wei family army tiger tally that Wei Dongzhu had given her to store and handed it over.
Wei Dongzhu was stunned, staring blankly at the thing being handed to him.
Shen Lanxi said, word by word, "Wei Dongzhu, you can take off your mask now!"
Those around them glanced at Shen Lanxi and Wei Dongzhu with puzzlement. What did that mean?
What kind of riddle are we talking about?
Wei Dongzhu's heart, which had stopped beating, began to pound violently again.
He can regain his identity!
He was finally able to regain his identity.
With tears welling up in his eyes, Wei Dongzhu took the tiger tally with both hands and handed it to the Wei family army beside him. Then, in front of everyone, he solemnly removed his mask!
"I am Wei Dongzhu, the young general of the Wei family army!"
A deathly silence.
With a clang, Qian Feng's weapon fell to the ground.
Those who were unaware of the situation stared in disbelief at Wei Dongzhu's face.
He is Wei Dongzhu, the one whom His Majesty personally praised as unparalleled in the world and who was handpicked as the next successor of the Wei family army!
Wasn't he dead?
Wei Dongzhu laughed excitedly, "I'm not dead! The Wei family army isn't wiped out yet! My Wei family army has returned to the Northwest today!"
Everyone could hear how excited Wei Dongzhu was!
Of the 400,000 Wei family soldiers, he was the only one left. The burden he carried was heavier than all of them combined could bear!
