Chapter 428 Turkic Invasion (2)
"Xie in the south and Chen in the north." Luo Tan said slowly.
Shen Miao was stunned. Luo Tan was already shaking his head proudly as he said, "Everyone knows that Mingqi has two great military families. One is the Shen family, the mighty generals of my aunt and uncle, and the other is the Xie family of the Lin'an Marquisate. Cousin Qiu is a talented person of the Shen family, and I heard that the young Marquis of the Xie family of the Lin'an Marquisate is also a brilliant talent. My grandfather had the honor of meeting the young Marquis Xie and said that this boy is extraordinary and will one day soar into the sky."
“Grandfather….Have you met Young Marquis Xie?” Shen Miao asked hesitantly.
Luo Qian also said: "Yes, sister, why don't I know?"
"You just eat, eat, eat. How do you know?" Luo Tan rolled his eyes at Luo Qian and continued, "I heard that when he was discussing military strategy with the Marquis of Lin'an, he happened to see Young Marquis Xie in the tent. After meeting him, my grandfather sighed. I wanted to find out more, but my grandfather told me to stay away from him, saying that Young Marquis Xie was a dangerous person and not to provoke him."
Shen Miao lowered her eyes. She hadn't known that Luo Sui had actually met Xie Jingxing. But she also realized that Xie Jingxing wasn't simple. Before she could break free from her thoughts, she heard Luo Tan ask, "Little cousin, come to think of it, you also grew up in Dingjing City. You must have met that young Marquis Xie, right?"
Shen Miao paused for a moment and nodded.
"What does he look like?" Luo Tan grabbed Shen Miao's arm. "Is he as handsome and unrivaled as the rumors say? Is he even more handsome than Brother Ling?"
The "Brother Ling" she was referring to was naturally Luo Ling. Of the three sons of the Luo family, Luo Ling was gentle, Luo Sa was violent, and Luo Qian was lively, all of them handsome. However, because Luo Ling was the gentlest, he was the most "handsome."
Shen Miao: “Not as handsome as Cousin Ling.”
"Ah?" Luo Tan let go of his hand, his eyes filled with disappointment. "But I heard that Young Marquis Xie is a handsome man with a very romantic temperament. If a woman takes one look at him, she will be intoxicated by him. How could he not be as good as Brother Ling?"
Luo Qian looked at her with a gloating look: "The most important thing for a man is his ability. What does appearance have to do with it? Besides, even if that idiotic young Marquis Xie really wanted to find a wife, he certainly wouldn't choose someone like you." Luo Qian looked at Shen Miao with a smile: "Of course he would find a girl as beautiful and gentle as my little cousin."
Luo Tan and Luo Qian immediately got into a fight.
Shen Miao held her forehead as she watched the siblings bickering, feeling rather helpless. She hadn't expected that even in Xiaochun City, Xie Jingxing would still be so famous. Then she thought about Xie Jingxing's trip to the Northern Frontier, and thought he must have already arrived. This was his first time leading troops into battle as the Young Marshal. Although he knew Xie Jingxing's ability to lead troops, he couldn't help but cringe when he thought about the outcome of this man's previous life.
That's all. Shen Miao shook her head, pushing away those inexplicable thoughts. She used to think Xie Jingxing was best at deploying troops and forming formations, but now, after fighting him in this life, she's discovered that his greatest skill is playing chess behind the scenes. That man is so calm and thoughtful, surely... surely he can turn danger into fortune.
Time flew by, and Luo Tan and Luo Qian sat at Shen Miao's place until dusk. The sky began to darken. In Xiaochun City, once September and October arrived, the grasslands outside the city were dry, but heavy rains were common within the city. Unlike the rain in Dingjing City, the rain in Xiaochun City carried the smell of wind and sand, and was extremely fierce. Dark clouds almost obscured the entire sky, and in a short moment, it felt like night was approaching.
Luo Tan looked at the sky and said, "Oh no! I'm afraid it's going to hail again."
