Seeing Chen Jiaojiao board the flower boat and skillfully greet the gorgeously dressed women inside, Chen Li stopped watching because Su Zhihui was already outside the door.
"Ali, am I coming in?"
"good."
After hearing her response, Su Zhihui pushed the door open and walked in.
"Why are you standing by the window? It's so windy there."
Although it is spring now and the weather is a little warmer, it is still a bit cold.
Chen Li closed the window ajar, walked to the table and sat down. "It's okay, I'm not cold. I was just thinking about something. By the way, why are you here today? Are you sharing a private room with Miss He?"
"Hey, don't mention it. He Xinyan is just here to show off."
Thinking of this, Su Zhihui's cheeks puffed up with anger. Without asking Chen Li any further questions, she continued, "Her cousin is engaged, and to the Prince of Yan. Now, she's here to show off."
She got angry whenever she thought of this. It was true that his grandfather was a first-rank minister, but he couldn't be compared with the royal family. It really made her angry!
Before this marriage, she was already jumping around so much, but now she will be jumping around with her head stepped on by the queen!
King of Yan?
There is only one King of Yan today. You should know that after the fall of Northern Qi, the country was renamed Northern Yan, and Xie Yunche's title is Yan, which is enough to show how noble his status is.
"So, you plan to avoid her from now on?"
"How is that possible?"
Su Zhihui raised her eyebrows and said with a hint of pride, "If that were the case, I wouldn't be Su Zhihui anymore. It's not me, He Xinyan, who's engaged to Prince Yan. Besides, Prince Yan isn't the kind of person who's unreasonable!"
Chen Li chuckled softly. Ah Hui was indeed a girl who was spoiled by her family and was very confident.
"Yes, Ah Hui is right, but how do you know that Prince Yan is not that kind of person?"
"I've met him several times when I went to the capital before. Although the Prince of Yan is a bit of a playboy, he has a kind heart. So, he definitely wouldn't side with someone like He Xinyan."
"Yeah, that makes sense."
Su Zhihui stood up hurriedly, "Okay, I have to go back. Just wait and see how I deal with her when I get back, humph!"
Having said that, he turned around and walked out with a heroic and high-spirited look. If you didn't know him, you would have thought he was going to fight, not to a banquet at all.
Fortunately, although there were some verbal conflicts among the last group of girls, they at least behaved like ladies from noble families and did not resort to violence.
Before Chen Li's secret letter was delivered to Pei Yu, another secret letter was received here, sent by Pei Yu's subordinates.
As soon as Chen Li returned to the Shen family, she saw a Saker Falcon circling in the sky. Her heart skipped a beat. The Saker Falcon had calculated the schedule and it was not due yet. How could another one appear here? Could something have happened in the north?
Thinking of this, the referee quickly returned to the yard. An San had already called Hai Dongqing down, took out the secret letter and handed it to Chen Li.
After opening the letter and reading only the first sentence, his expression immediately became solemn. An San beside him also frowned. The master usually would not use the Saker Falcon to deliver messages unless there was something extremely urgent.
Pei Yu said in the letter that his elder brother was missing and he had taken people to look for him. Chen Li subconsciously bent her fingers and tapped the table. It had been at least ten days since her elder brother disappeared, and no one knew if he had been found.
At the same time, a secret worry arose in his heart. If something happened to his eldest brother, he couldn't imagine what his parents and sister-in-law would do.
And Achi, is he going to lose his father at such a young age?
Was it wrong for me to encourage my elder brother to join the army? At that moment, I felt a throbbing pain between my eyebrows.
"Girl, what's wrong?"
"It's okay, you go down first."
"yes."
Shen Li sat at the table in a daze. What should she do?
If this place was closer to the north, she could go there directly. The two places are too far apart. By the time she got there, her eldest brother would probably have been rescued.
However, just waiting here is not an option.
Moreover, this matter has to be kept secret from my parents and sister-in-law. It happened too suddenly and they may not be able to bear it.
Taking out the letter in his hand and unfolding it again, Pei Yu finally said: If she is worried, she can go to the capital and wait, which is closer to the north.
Going to the capital?
It’s not that I haven’t thought about it before, but I haven’t thought about going now.
After thinking for a while, Chen Li decided to go to the capital because she was really worried about her elder brother.
At the same time that Shen Li decided to go to the capital, a ship was also sailing northward at the Qingxi County dock.
Going to the capital is not difficult, but you have to think of a reasonable reason, otherwise it will be difficult to pass the test of your parents.
After a while, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly. Why bother thinking about something that doesn't exist? Isn't Pei Yu a ready-made reason?
Reasonable and reasonable!
Pei Yu, who was traveling in the snowy mountains, suddenly felt his nose itchy and wanted to sneeze, but thinking that there was a lot of snow here, he forced himself to swallow the sneeze.
"Speed up and move forward. We must rescue them before they take them back to the grassland."
"yes."
When Shen Jingyuan led his men to a nearby village for rescue, they were ambushed by the enemy. Naturally, they could not defeat 5,000 Tatars with a team of 100 people. In the end, Shen Jingyuan and 30 soldiers were captured alive.
After learning the news, Pei Yu immediately took his men to chase after them. The two sides chased each other and finally forced the Tatar team into the snow-capped mountains.
This snow-capped mountain is covered with snow all year round, and the vegetation inside is lush and the environment is complex. If you are not careful, you may step on empty space, so you need to be extremely cautious.
The two sides chased each other for several days, but neither could catch the other.
Therefore, Pei Yu was very troubled. If he couldn't catch up, and two more people
Once we get over this mountain, we will reach the grassland, and then it will be even more difficult to rescue people.
No, no matter what the reason is, this person must be rescued.
Whether it is a soldier or Shen Jingyuan, as long as they are still alive, they must be rescued.
When night fell again, Pei Yu thought for a long time before finally coming up with a solution. There were many Tatars and they made a lot of noise. They had triggered several avalanches in the past few days in the mountains, and as a result, a lot of manpower had been lost.
Pei Yu and his men followed behind. With their lessons learned, they did not lose any manpower, but they did not dare to follow too closely.
"Get ready, be quiet, and catch up with them overnight. We can't delay any longer."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Pei Yu's face was solemn. Although he did not show any panic on his face, only he knew that he was worried in his heart. If something happened to Shen Jingyuan, then he and A Li might not be destined to be together.
Thinking of this, a cold light flashed in his eyes. He would never allow it, so Shen Jingyuan must be rescued.
At night, Pei Yu led his men to the vicinity of the Tatar camp. It was the middle of the night and the weather was cold. Pei Yu and his men had not been able to catch up for such a long time, and the Tatar soldiers were relaxed and dozing off.
Pei Yu made a gesture and someone lit a smoke screen near the Tatar camp.
Soon, a one-sided massacre began in the dark night.
