Chapter 314 A Bolt from the Blue



"Okay." An Yi did not stop him.

Shangguan Ziqi selected a few people, took a catapult, and went far away from the city. He found a place where there was no one for miles around, and tried it.

When the loud explosion resounded throughout the earth, everyone was stunned.

General Chen had never seen anything this powerful in his life.

I went there myself to see it.

Following behind were several generals.

"Oh my god! Even if I have practiced internal energy for 200 years, I still can't create such a big hole with one strike." General Chen exclaimed the most amazingly since he existed.

"Prince, what a waste." After being shocked, a deputy general named Ze Qiang felt that it was a waste to try one, and it would be much more wasteful if he directly threw it into the enemy camp.

"Don't worry, there's more." Shangguan Ziqi gave everyone a reassurance.

With the recipe, you can make as much as you want.

"Prince, what is this?" Zhong Weiliang was still not quite sure.

"This is the weapon that our Great Wei used to beat the Canglan dogs back to their hometown a hundred years ago."

"What?" Everyone looked at Shangguan Ziqi in shock.

"Prince, is it...?" General Chen thought of a possibility, but he did not say it clearly.

"Yes, that's what you want." Shangguan Ziqi gave an affirmative answer.

"Too much."

Everyone thought of it: the iron box left by the ancestors of Prince Rong’s Mansion was opened.

"Oh, oh!" a general shouted happily.

Then they all started shouting loudly.

They finally saw the light.

For example, Canglan captured four cities of Wei, and hundreds of thousands of people became homeless refugees.

They were so distressed, but they tried their best and failed to repel the enemy.

By now, tens of thousands of soldiers had died, and the piles of graves stretched as far as the eye could see.

They wanted to cry, but they had no right to do so. As soldiers, they could only shed blood, not tears.

Shangguan Ziqi saw that everyone was having fun and did not stop them.

On the tenth day of the eighth month, the eldest prince led 80,000 people to Jinhe City.

With so many soldiers arriving, Shangguan Ziqi began to deploy the next arrangements.

The enemy attacked the capital of Wei from two directions.

But he divided the people into four groups, in addition to retaking the lost city, he also had to attack the city of Canglan.

With bombs as the vanguard, he didn't worry about how much flesh the enemy had to feed.

General Chen led 30,000 men to recapture Rongbei City.

The eldest prince brought 30,000 people to support Rongyun City.

General Chen's son, General Chen Xiao, led 40,000 men and marched a hundred miles west to Canglan State to start a war in Jinlin City.

He led the remaining soldiers to face the Jinjiang City Lord's army in front and recapture the lost cities.

October 10th.

The border troops of the Great Wei Dynasty advanced northward, launching a war of counterattack to regain the homeland.

At the same time, a counterattack to plunder the cities of Canglan Kingdom was launched.

Let’s talk about the third prince.

He carried Shangguan Zishu's coffin and hurried along the way.

The weather was getting hotter and hotter, and he was afraid that the bodies could not be preserved on the road, so he arranged for people to prepare ice along the road ahead.

Some wealthy families would dig cellars to store ice in the winter.

In order to return to the capital as quickly as possible, he sometimes chose to take a small road just to save time.

After much haste, he finally arrived back in the capital on the 18th day.

Shangguan Ziqi had already written a letter back to Beijing to give to Yu Yuanzheng.

After receiving the letter, Yu Yuanzheng did not tell Yu Chaoyang and Cao Nanhua immediately.

Now her father is not in the capital, only she and her mother are there.

She didn't know what to do about this matter, so she had to discuss it with her mother.

Yu Yuanzheng came to the main courtyard and showed the letter to the princess.

The princess was shocked when she saw it.

She would never have thought that Zishu would die.

"How could this happen? How could Zishu, as a high-ranking general, die? With so many soldiers and generals, why would he be needed to rush to the front?" The princess couldn't believe it.

I read the letter carefully from beginning to end again.

This is my son’s handwriting, there is no mistake.

That is, the content of the letter is true.

The two women were not clear about the situation at that time.

The letter only said that Shangguan Zishu fought bravely, tried his best in the final battle, and finally died for his country.

"Mother, the war report has already been sent to the capital, so why hasn't this matter been spread out?" Yu Yuanzheng was puzzled. Normally, the matter should have been spread out of the palace as soon as the war report was sent to the capital, but how come there was no news at all?

The only news was that my husband had led the cavalry ahead and saved a losing battle.

A few days later, the battle report said that my husband led the army with the help of Zhong Weiliang to catch the enemy off guard by burning the woman's bed and won another battle.

"Your father has already told the emperor what you said. I guess the emperor has some opinions about Zishu, or maybe he was not mentioned at all in the battle report." The princess guessed.

Yu Yuanzheng thought about it and felt that it was possible.

The third uncle and the third old lady are spies, and Shangguan Zishu is the third uncle's child. Under such circumstances, the emperor must have some ideas about the second brother.

Perhaps the death of his second brother was the best ending for him, and he died on the battlefield killing Canglan's enemy, which was a worthy death.

"The third prince is on his way back with my second brother's coffin. Should we tell my two younger brothers and sisters right away?" Yu Yuanzheng didn't make the decision alone.

"They will know about this sooner or later, so it's better to tell them directly." The princess has never cared much about the two so-called daughters-in-law.

She has always been brooding over what the second and third wives did.

Since the prince kept the people in the palace, she just regarded it as two more mouths to feed and didn't care about anything else.

So she didn't even consider how the two women would react when they found out.

"Well."

Since this was her mother's opinion, Yu Yuanzheng had nothing to say.

"Qiuye, call Chaoyang and Nanhua to the main courtyard. Oh, and call Jinling as well." The princess ordered.

All three of them are Shangguan Zishu's women. Let them all know the reason.

"Yes." Qiu Ye obeyed the order.

Yu Yuanzheng read the letter again. The content of the letter only talked about this matter and there was nothing else.

I guess my husband wrote this letter in a way that makes it more matter-of-fact so that everyone can read it.

The three women were coming to the main courtyard.

"Greetings to mother (Princess Princess), greetings to Crown Prince's Consort." The three women saluted in unison.

"Please sit down." The princess glanced at the three women with a bit of sympathy in her eyes.

"Mother, has there been any news about my husband sent back to the palace?" Cao Nanhua asked anxiously.

She hadn't heard from Shangguan Zishu for a long time, and she looked forward to seeing him every day.

Except for occasionally returning to her parents' home, she basically lived the life of an invisible person in the Prince's Palace.

She hadn't even seen the princess for a long time.

The princess never asked them to stand in a proper manner, and she had exempted them from the morning greetings.

Probably because they didn't want to see them, the two of them didn't come in front of the princess.

"Yes." The princess said just one simple word and signaled Yu Yuanzheng to show them the letter directly.

Yu Yuanzheng hesitated for a moment, but still handed the letter out.

She had a little sympathy and felt that it would be too cruel to show them the letter directly.

They were not mentally prepared at all. Once they suddenly found out, would it be too much of a blow?

Cao Nanhua was quicker than Yu Chaoyang. He took two steps forward and snatched the letter away as if snatching it away.

Then he took out the letter, unfolded it and read it at a glance.

But the more she looked, the more her hands shook.

Finally, my whole body was shaking.

“No, no, this is impossible, this is impossible.” Cao Nanhua trembled, and tears instantly blurred his vision.

He also speaks incoherently.

She could no longer stand and her body slumped down to the ground.

The whole person felt like a frost-bitten eggplant, filled with sadness and helplessness.

Suddenly, she climbed up to the princess again and hugged her legs.

"Mother, this can't be true, right? Who sent this news back? It must be fake." Cao Nanhua shook the princess' legs, seeking a negative answer.
