Exile opening: I won with the Universal Maker

Chapter 351
Autumn outside the pass is always earlier.The sky at noon was high and blue, the sun was shining brightly, but the wind was blowing icily.

Under Xiao Zhuo's insistence, Shen Yuexi wrapped a thick red cotton cloak and a white turban around her head, covering her face together, only revealing her two bright eyes and a few locks of long black hair. Dance with the wind.

"Be careful, don't let the baby catch a cold," Xiao Zhuo walked side by side with her, "Shengjing is ahead."

Shen Yuexi nodded, squinting happily and looking at the city wall of Shengjing in the distance: "I'm home."

The first thing she saw was the camp of the Xiliang Army. The banner of the Xiliang Army inside the camp was straightened by the strong wind and fluttered.On the training ground outside the camp, thousands of Xiliang soldiers are forming a combat formation, practicing fighting.Halberds and shields reflected cold iron light in the sun.

On the high platform of the training ground, Shen Lan put her metal prosthetic hand behind her back, and held an open book in the other hand, pacing and reading while walking on the platform.At first glance, it makes outsiders feel a little ridiculous, as if she is an ignorant military strategist who grinds his guns before the battle.

Only the Xiliang soldiers in the audience knew how powerful this woman was.

Previously in Xiliang, Shen Lan was in charge of making plans, Queen Mei Dai of Xiliang commanded the battle, and fought back and forth with King Doma of Xirong.The soldiers of the Xiliang Army had long admired Shen Lan.

Now that the war is approaching, Shen Lan seized all the time to study, and did not relax during training.

"Military division," Xiliang general Geng Hong came to the stage, bowing his hands and saluting, "Prince An and Prince An are back."

Shen Lan put down her book, looked up at the nearby troops, and said, "General Geng, we are training soldiers, don't be distracted by personal affairs."

Thousands of soldiers in the audience are practicing, it is impossible for her to leave these sergeants and run to greet Shen Yuexi.Just wait until the drill is over before going to the city to see my sister.

When Geng Hong saw that she clearly distinguished between public and private, he admired her even more, and withdrew with a gift.

Shen Lan raised her metal prosthetic hand, waved at Shen Yuexi and his group, and smiled.

Shen Yuexi saw her sister waving. She stepped on the stirrups, stood up from Xiaobai and waved to Shen Lan in response.

Xiao Zhuo smiled and said: "My sister is training the horses, don't be distracted. Let's go to the city first."

The team passed outside the Xiliang army camp and came to the outer city of Shengjing.

One-third of the walls of the outer city have been built.After Mei Dai came back, she asked everyone to speed up the construction of Shengjing's outer city wall, but the outer city is too large to be completed in a year or so.

On the construction site, people came and went, dust was flying, and the sound of iron chiseling stones kept coming and going.People chanted and dragged huge boulders under the city wall.Thanks to the people flocking here from all over the country, the population of Shengjing has reached [-], and it has completely become a big city.

Feng Zhang Yang Cong, who was in charge of the work, saw Shen Yuexi and the others and greeted them immediately.

"Ahem," Feng Zhang covered his mouth with one hand, and fanned the dust in front of him with the other, "Princess and Princess, you are back. There is a lot of dust here, you go to the city first."

Shen Yuexi stopped the horse and said, "Let me see."

This is the first place she and Xiao Zhuo came to after leaving customs. She still remembers the dilapidated houses in Xiaogang Village back then, and even getting water was a problem.

Yang Cong came over and said with concern: "Mistress, you'd better go quickly. If the dust is sucked in too much, will it be bad for the fetus?"

Seeing everyone urging her, Shen Yuexi had no choice but to pass the outer wall and walk along the road of Xiaogang Village to the inner city in the north.

Just after leaving Xiaogang Village, Mei Dai has already opened the gate of the city, leading the crowd to welcome them out of the city on horseback.

"Sister, King An," Mei Dai waved her hand, and rode her horse towards him.After Shen Yuexi and Xiao Zhuo dismounted, Mei Dai stepped forward to hug Shen Yuexi, and then they all went into the city together.

"King Qianglin's Xirong Army has been stationed in the north of the city," Mei Dai told Shen Yuexi while walking, "The soldiers under my command are still... a bit repulsive to the Xirong Army, so I arranged this first."

Shen Yuexi also knew Mei Dai's intention of doing this.The Xiliang army has been fighting Xirong, and the hatred between the two sides is deep-rooted.Even if the Xirong army led by Qiang Lin is not the one of King Doma, the hostile relationship formed for a long time is still there.

As long as the two armies can live in peace, that's fine.

"Didn't Yunyan come back with you?" Mei Dai looked back into the team, looking for Ji Yunyan.

Shen Yuexi pulled down her turban in surprise, and said: "Sister Ji escorted me to meet my husband, and then left by herself. We always thought she came back to Shengjing by herself, so she didn't come back?"

Mei Dai withdrew her gaze and said: "Yunyan may have her own arrangements. Let's go to the palace first, and my sister will clean up the dust for you."

When they arrived at the palace, Xia Lan came out to welcome everyone.

The battle was imminent, Xiao Zhuoyi couldn't untie his belt, and immediately called all the generals to discuss the military situation.

Shen Yuexi returned to her room, and Xia Lan helped her change clothes.Halfway through, Shen Yuexi remembered the big parrot.While wearing his sleeves, he said, "Xia Lan, where is Liuli?"

When she left Shengjing, she asked Xia Lan to take good care of Liuli.It's been a long time since I left, and I miss it a little.

Xia Lan blushed and stammered, "Liu Li...it's in the cage."

"Then what are you waiting for, bring it here," Shen Yuexi put on her clothes, urging while tying the belt, "I miss it."

Xia Lan got up slowly, and went out to call the maid: "You two, bring Liuli's cage here, the master wants to see it."

Shen Yuexi saw that her actions were a bit slow, and a trace of uneasiness flashed in her heart.What happened to Liuli?
After the two maids brought the birdcage into the house, Shen Yuexi only took a look, then cried out angrily.

"Xia Lan, how did you take care of Liuli!"

The parrot Liuli was standing listlessly on the crossbar in the cage, the hair on his neck was gone, it was as bare as a chicken's neck.

Xia Lan was taken aback, and quickly knelt down and said, "Master, this slave has been taking good care of Liuli. But it doesn't know what's going on, so it plucks its own hair with its mouth..."

Shen Yuexi got up to open the cage door, put her hand in, and said, "Of course it's not happy if you keep it in the cage. Liuli, Liuli, look at me."

Xia Lan said: "Master, it's easy for you to say. If you don't close it, it will fly out to find you. If we lose it, how can we explain to the master."

The thrush bird that was given earlier flew away, and Shen Yuexi cried a lot.Fortunately, Su Mo came to send a big parrot. If Liuli flew away again, it would be impossible to do business.

Liuli looked up and saw Shen Yuexi, as if she recognized her, moved a few steps on the crossbar, stepped on Shen Yuexi's wrist, spread her wings and said: "Yuexi, good luck. Yuexi, good luck."

Shen Yuexi took Liuli out of the cage, and said to Xia Lan: "Don't be in a daze, go and get some peanuts that Liuli loves to eat."

Seeing that Shen Yuexi didn't scold her, Xia Lan breathed a sigh of relief, got up and ran to the door to order the maid to prepare bird food.

Shen Yuexi touched Liuli and said: "Stupid Liuli, don't peck yourself anymore. If you lose all the feathers on your wings, how can you fly? Right?"

She decided to take the parrot Liuli with her wherever she went from now on.

Liuli tilted her head, rubbed her head against her forehead, and said, "Beiheng, you're sorry for me."

Shen Yuexi also replied playfully: "Bei Heng, you are sorry for me."

She thought of Su Mo.

The parrot glass was given to her by Su Mo.Seeing things and thinking about people, she fled from the other courtyard of Prince Ping's Mansion, but Su Mo did not leave with her.Since then, she has never seen Su Mo again.I don't know how she is now.But since Xiao Beiheng ascended the throne, Su Mo should already be in the capital.After all, she is Xiao Beiheng's wife, and now that she has become a queen, maybe she will be happy.

But thinking that Xiao Beiheng had slapped Su Mo in the face, Shen Yuexi felt uneasy again. After all, such a scene had happened to her sister Shen Lan.

"Master, there is bad news."

Xia Lan came in hastily, put a fruit plate full of peanuts on the table, and said, "When my lord and the Queen of Xiliang were discussing the military situation, it seemed that King Doma was leading an army to attack Nanping."

"Attack Nanping?" Shen Yuexi stood up in surprise.

Unexpectedly, King Doma is quite cunning, knowing that Mei Dai and Shen Lan are both in Shengjing, he took advantage of this moment to attack.

"I'll go and listen." She raised her hand, put Liuli on her shoulder, and ran towards the meeting hall.

When she came outside the meeting hall, she was afraid of disturbing everyone's military discussion, so she slowed down and heard Shen Lan's calm voice from inside.

"The walls of Nanping City have been strengthened. Unless the Xirong Army can cut off the grain roads in the south, we can send reinforcements and food support from the other three counties. My judgment is that it will be no problem to support it for three months. The Xirong Army should not be able to attack the south. Screen."

Mei Dai said: "King Doma is a threat, but now King An's side is the most important thing. I sent scouts to investigate the actions of the states and counties. They are all mobilizing troops, and the target must be us."

Qiang Lin's voice said: "Just let them come, I'm planning to fight Xiao Beiheng to the death."

Shen Yuexi felt sad.Mrs. Li's mother and daughter died in the capital, Qiang Lin already regarded Xiao Beiheng's mother and son as mortal enemies, this battle was inevitable no matter what.

Everyone was discussing, suddenly there was a rush of footsteps, and then a man's voice sounded.

"The villain pays homage to King An, Queen Xiliang, and generals. There is an urgent military report in the capital."

Xiao Zhuo said: "Speak."

"Xiao Beiheng has led his army to leave the capital, and the troops are divided into two groups. Among them, the general Zhao Mu led an army of [-], and Xiao Beiheng led an army of [-]. The direction of attack is to win the capital."

There was a low sound of sucking air in the meeting hall.

Shen Yuexi was also taken aback when she heard this, and leaned back, pressing her back against the cold wall.

Like it or not, that day has come.

Xiao Zhuo said: "I originally planned to contact the border commander Wei Liang first. But he is the general's confidant. Now that the general is leading the troops to fight, I am afraid that General Wei is also a hidden danger."

Mei Dai's voice sounded: "King An, don't worry, Beidi seems to have sent troops. Even if Wei Liang wants to help Xiao Beiheng, he is powerless. He needs to resist Beidi's attack first, so we don't have to worry about it along the way."

There were murmurs of discussion in the meeting hall, as if everyone was discussing the defenders at the border.

Shen Yuexi was about to walk back when hurried footsteps sounded again in the conference hall.

"King An, Queen of Xiliang, generals. There is news from the capital. Xiao Beiheng ordered people to issue a statement saying that King An sent an assassin, Ji Yunyan, to assassinate the Son of Heaven, and he has been captured. The evidence of treason is conclusive. Order all states and counties to send troops to conquer together. Now in Anzhou , Yuzhou has dispatched troops, and is joining Xiao Beiheng's army. The final army size should reach 30."

Shen Yuexi was stunned.It turned out that Ji Yunyan left to assassinate Xiao Beiheng, but failed and was captured.

The 30 army is already on the way to attack Shengjing.
