Noble First Daughter-in-law

A gust of cold wind suddenly blew by, causing the flags at the top of the city to ring loudly. The sound was like thunder in Nie Chong's ears, which was already sensitive to hearing, and shook his spirits.

Feeling the same as him, a soldier following him immediately whispered: "Brother Nie, what's wrong?"

Several people around also looked over.

There were about ten of them guarding a carriage, and there were sacks of grain and bundles of fodder piled on the carriage. They had delivered these to Taiyuan City every time before, but this time there were more than before, so The road was also very difficult.But they didn't say a word of hardship, and hurried slowly, and finally arrived at the gate of Taiyuan City just after noon.

At this moment, the carriage was parked at the city gate, preparing to enter the city.

As soon as the soldier finished speaking, and before Nie Chong had time to reply, he heard a low hoarse scream from ahead.

Nie Chong immediately became vigilant and whispered: "Don't be distracted, look ahead!"

Upon hearing his words, the people around them all raised their heads, only to feel another biting cold wind hitting their faces, blowing their beards and hair away in shock.

The tall city gate slowly opened!
Everyone's faces were filled with joy, and they hurriedly drove the carriage in, but just when they were about to lift their feet, two more groups of people suddenly walked out from both sides of the city gate and blocked them.

Everyone immediately cheered up.

One of the men who looked like a captain rode a horse and slowly walked forward, and the leader of their team also hurriedly came forward.

The leader is called Chen Chuan. He is about forty years old and is a close confidant of Lei Guo. He has led the team several times in transporting grain and grass before, so he is familiar with the people and the roads. Even the soldiers guarding the city gate here already know him.

Seeing that it was him, the captain of the soldiers guarding the city smiled and said, "You guys came early today."

Chen Chuan also smiled, looked up at the sky, and then said: "It's cloudy today. Mr. Lei was worried that it would snow again and that the carriage would be difficult to drive on the road, so he asked us to get on the road early."

"That's it,"

The captain nodded, had nothing to say, and just glanced at the soldiers behind him. The soldiers immediately came forward, looked around the carriages in front, and stabbed a few grains on the carriages with knives. He picked up the bags and fodder, and leaned down to check the bottom of the carriage to make sure no one was hiding.

Seeing this situation, Nie Chong and the others held their breath.

It can be seen that although Lei Guo has surrendered to Taiyuan before because of Lei Yu, they are still worried about him. They even check the carriages delivering grain. It can also be seen how cunning and suspicious Wang Shaoqiu is in the city.

Upon inspection, there was nothing unusual.

The team leader smiled and said to Chen Chuan: "I've delayed your business, let's go into the city."

Chen Chuan also smiled and said: "Where."

After saying that, he waved to the people behind him, and everyone rushed the carriage and prepared to go inside.

But just when their first carriage passed through the city gate, another group of people suddenly came speeding down the city's main road. The leader of them was in rich clothes, but because he was too thin and looked haggard, he didn't look good. It looked like a person wearing brocade clothes, but inside the brocade clothes there was a snow-white face, as if he was about to fall off the horse at any time.

However, until the horse stopped steadily in front of the first carriage and blew a gust of wind into the faces of Chen Chuan and others, the man did not fall down.

Not only did he not, he also looked at them condescendingly, with arrogance and coldness in his eyes.

Although it was his first time meeting him, Nie Chong recognized him almost immediately——

This person is Wang Shaoqiu.

In other words, Wang Shaoji's brothers decided to join forces with the Western Turks to capture Taiyuan City!
Long before they set off, Yu Wenye and Lei Guo described Wang Shaoqiu's appearance and personality to him one after another. Because in this operation, except for Chen Chuan who led the team to transport food, all the troops sent by Yu Wenye were commanded by Nie Chong. - Because the lieutenants around Yu Wenye all served in the army of the previous dynasty, the Wang brothers have probably met them, and so has Shen Tutai.Only Nie Chong was from Wanggang Village, and none of the Wang brothers had ever seen him. Even if someone recognized him, they could use the excuse that after Wanggang Village fell apart, he sought a way out and went to Qi County to join Lei Guo without revealing his secret.

At this moment, Nie Chong's breathing tightened when he saw the "chief culprit" who had taken down Taiyuan City.

He immediately lowered his head, not daring to look at each other.

Wang Shaoqiu's eyes just scanned the crowd lightly, but he immediately felt something. He frowned slightly and said, "Why are there so many new faces this time?"

Hearing this, Chen Chuan hurriedly smiled and said, "Sir, the people who delivered food and grass last time were all sick when they returned."

"sick?"

"Yes, it was raining and snowing those days. The brothers didn't dare to delay on the way. They all came here in the rain. After returning, they all fell ill. Now none of them can get up, so we have to send these newbies."

"Oh……"

Wang Shaoqiu raised his eyebrows slightly, but didn't say anything.

However, he did not get out of the way, and looked at the several carts of grain and grass behind the team, and suddenly asked: "Before, when Yuan An led his troops south, he received the grain and grass in Qi County."

Chen Chuan hurriedly said: "Yes."

Wang Shaoqiu asked: "How much did he take?"

Chen Chuan rolled his eyes and said with a hurried smile, "That's what you wrote in your handwriting, sir. You didn't take more and give less."

"..."

When Wang Shaoqiu heard this, he slowly frowned and murmured: "It's been more than half a month, including the back and forth, it's time to come back. How--"

Although it was just his own mumbling, even the people around him didn't hear it, but Nie Chong, who was standing far away, suddenly broke out in a cold sweat. At this moment, another gust of cold wind blew by , brought with it the biting chill, he and several other soldiers standing facing the wind couldn't help but sneeze.

Wang Shaoqiu frowned slightly, glanced at them again, and then waved his hand impatiently: "Go in." After that, he slowly rode away.

Looking at his proud back, everyone felt relieved. Chen Chuan looked back at Nie Chong and winked at the people behind him. Everyone immediately drove the cart and led the horse, and soon they were Passed the city gate.

However, at the moment of entering the city, suddenly, a gust of wind blew violently from the east.

This unusually cold wind made the flags on the city head rumble again, and because they passed through the city gate, the wind howled like dragons roaring, quite like flags flying and swords clashing on a battlefield.

"Well?"

Nie Chong's steps faltered, and he suddenly stopped and looked east.

Chen Chuan, who had retreated to his side at this time, turned to look at him and said softly: "What's wrong with you? Just pay attention."

Now, they have entered the city. The situation in the city is even more heavily guarded than at the city gate just now. As soon as they turned a road, they met a group of people patrolling. There were also a few wearing fur coats with their chests open. The Turkic soldiers, whose chests in fine clothing were exposed in the cold wind, galloped past on the long street on horseback. Even they could only dodge in a hurry.

Nie Chong said: "These are-"

"They are people from the Western Turks."

As Chen Chuan walked forward, he lowered his voice and said: "Now, the city is jointly managed by the Western Turks and Wang Shaoqiu. I just heard that the Western Turks can kill people in the city if they commit crimes; Wang Shaoqiu dare not take care of the Western Turks if they commit crimes. .”

"..."

"So, you must not show off your flaws, otherwise -"

"I see."

Nie Chong nodded immediately, but he still couldn't help but look in the direction of the wind blowing like a tiger roaring and a dragon roaring.

He vaguely remembered that Yu Wenye had mentioned before that to the east of Taiyuan was Shooyang...

Chen Chuan whispered: "What do you keep looking over there?"

"..."

Nie Chong was silent for a while, feeling a little confused. He murmured, "I must have heard wrongly. How could my ears be so alert?"

After saying that, he turned his head and walked forward with him.

Almost at the same time that the city gate of Taiyuan was closed, a large Turkic army leveled the grassland in Mengyang County, east of Taiyuan.

This army numbered tens of thousands of people and entered Mengyang in several groups. Among them, the center group was the most majestic and mighty, and was the elite of this troop dispatch.

They are the reinforcements of the Western Turks.

The leader was a man riding a green-brown horse with a wolf-head mask on his face. The mask completely covered the upper half of his face, only revealing his thin, angular lips and broad chin, which made him look very handsome. Very mysterious.

At this moment, he was quietly watching his men restocking the water plants, then raised his head and looked at the sky.

At this time, a tall and strong man rode up to him, put his fist on his left shoulder and saluted, and then said: "Prince, we still have half a day's journey to Taiyuan."

The wolf-faced prince turned his head and glanced at him.

Then he said: "Is there anything strange happening over there in Taiyuan?"

The man said: "No."

"What about Qixian County?"

"Qixian?"

The man was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then thought about it again and said, "That's right, that person named Lei - what problem can he have?"

The wolf-faced prince was silent for a moment, and then said: "If you are not from my tribe, your heart must be different."

After hearing this, the man looked at the wolf-faced prince with a strange look. After a while, he smiled and said, "But isn't the one named Lei Yu already——"

At this time, the wolf-faced prince suddenly raised his head and looked forward: "What's the sound?"

The man immediately shut his mouth and subconsciously followed his gaze and glanced ahead. They were in a flat pasture with abundant grass and water, extending a hundred feet in front of them, to a fir forest. As the cold wind blew by, the dense branches and leaves swayed leisurely, as if the entire forest was shaking.

But, it's nothing.

So he said: "Nothing -"

Before he finished speaking, there were several screams from the crowd in front. When he looked closely, he saw that several people suddenly fell from their horses and fell to the ground, and they were actually hit by arrows!

That is--

The wolf-faced prince was startled and immediately raised his head. At this moment, a cold light flew towards him like lightning!
