The coolness of the early morning and the coldness of the drizzle hitting the face made people feel a slight chill, and the smoke and rain surrounded Shouyang City, covering this ancient imperial capital with a hazy silver veil.

Although the rain was beautiful, it did not blur Su Heng's heart.

Xiaohe was buried in the Shilipo outside Shouyang City, the tomb is lined with several osmanthus trees, backed by the surrounding mountain, in front of a moat that flows endlessly, although the scenery is good, but it is prepared for the dead.

Early on, Su Heng and Zhao Jinyu chose a place for Xiaohe, and Zhao Jinyu personally carried Xiaohe's body out of the Forbidden City.

Looking at the location of Xiaohe's burial, Su Heng seemed to see the smiling little maid leaning on the osmanthus tree, the mountains behind her, looking at the Milky Way, and waving at him with a smile.

"Mr. Su, do you think I'm shameless?"

With his back to Su Heng, Zhao Jinyu's face was a little gloomy.

Su Heng knew what Zhao Jinyu was referring to, it was nothing more than that Xiaohe was dead, but Zhao Jinyu still buried her body with his own hands, in order to win people's hearts, after all, a prince actually buried a subordinate himself, which is an incredible thing in all dynasties throughout history.

"I think this is Xiaohe's blessing, being buried by His Royal Highness the Ninth himself, she is enough to rest in peace, besides, the other princes, who is willing to do this like His Royal Highness the Ninth in order to win people's hearts?"

Su Heng comforted Zhao Jinyu while continuing: "Besides, those who achieve great things are not informal, and they need to use some means when necessary, even if these methods are very dirty...... Your Highness, there are some things that are contrary to your ideas, but you must learn to bear them, learn to accept them, and even learn to use them......"

Speaking of these, Su Heng couldn't help but think of what Liu Chuan said to him before going down the mountain, strategists and politicians are all shameless and unscrupulous to achieve their goals!

In the future, it is inevitable to follow Zhao Jinyu and fight wits and courage with those wise men in the palace compound, and Su Heng doesn't know if he will one day become the kind of person Liu Chuan said, the kind of person who is so shameless that people hate it.

……

After burying Xiaohe, Zhao Jinyu and Su Heng had no interest in talking, and a gentleman and a minister rushed back with a tacit understanding.

Although the weather in Shouyang City is a little cool today, the flow of people inside and outside the city is still continuous.

The guards guarding the gates carefully inspected the goods of each passer-by, and some clever merchants would secretly hand over some silver taels to avoid being checked, so as not to be seen the goods they were buying and selling.

The guards of the town guard were not surprised by this, they were very happy to take the silver taels, after all, this is Shouyang City, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, there will be no bold people who dare to carry a large number of prohibited items into Beijing, and these merchants are all named here, and they have been recorded in Beijing, and they are immediately asked if something happens, so they are very relieved to receive this silver.

"General Xiao is back!"

"The Valkyries are back, get out of the way, everybody."

Outside the city, the people who were rushing towards the city suddenly called, and then the crowd quickly dispersed, everyone consciously retreated to both sides, not dissatisfied and complaining, but curiously looking at the horse that was galloping quickly into the city not far from the city gate, the fiery red horse was like a flame under the gray sky, burning and galloping rapidly.

On the horse is a female general wearing fiery red armor, holding a spear, dragging the reins with one arm, her posture is steady, the horse is skillful, the crimson cloak dances with the wind, accompanied by the ups and downs of the green silk on her shoulders, this female general seems to have come all the way, the wind and dust, a melon seed face with a few drops of clear sweat, as small as raindrops, across the willow eyebrows, Qiong nose, cherry lips, and finally drip on the hair horns that are blown a little messy by the wind.

If you look at it up close, the picture is stunning.

Su Heng has also heard of this female general, she is the Valkyrie of Great Chu, Xiao Ruiying of the Xiao family, a famous female general of the Great Chu Kingdom, with superb martial arts, and even the surrounding countries are quite famous, and she is even more prestigious in the army.

The crowd of onlookers around obviously respected this Valkyrie very much, and everyone knew her temperament, jealous and hateful, without scheming, and she was also loyal to the Son of Heaven, and she was deeply trusted, and there was even gossip that in the early years, Zhao Yue, the third highness, was directly carried home with a broken leg because of his ill intentions towards this Valkyrie, and was directly carried home with a broken leg, and Zhao Wouji not only did not blame Xiao Ruiying, but also punished Zhao Yue.

Compared with the Great Chu Kingdom, when everyone thinks of Xiao Ruiying, the first thing that comes to mind is her martial arts, but what Su Heng thinks of is the first thing that men will pay attention to when they see a woman, which is her appearance.

What others think, Su Heng doesn't know, at least Xiao Ruiying is indeed a complete beauty in his eyes, maybe she has been fighting all year round in the past few years, dealing with weapons and armor all day long, and she has not made up as carefully as other women, so people ignore her appearance.

Glancing at Zhao Jinyu, who was also curious beside him, Su Heng smiled playfully and teased: "Your Highness, if you go and take down this Valkyrie, so that in the future, with a wave of your hand, the generals and soldiers in this army are not at your disposal." ”

Su Heng had just finished speaking, but Zhao Jinyu showed a ghostly expression, and there was even a hint of horror on his face, and he shook his head desperately: "Sir, you don't know the character of this Valkyrie, there is no femininity at all, just like a block of ice, a few years ago, Zhao Yue teased her without knowing whether she was alive or dead, and as a result, she broke a leg, who dares to ask for such a woman." ”

Seeing Zhao Jinyu like this, Su Heng touched the tip of his nose and didn't speak, but he didn't expect that this moving female general made the entire Dachu man fearful like a tiger.

However, Su Heng asked Zhao Jinyu to win Xiao Ruiying before, it was not just a joke, but the Xiao family's status in the army is indeed unmatched.

Xiao Niangen, the contemporary head of the Xiao family, is an old general of Da Chu, although he is recuperating at home, his prestige in the army is still undiminished, and Zhao Wou-Ki has great respect for him, not for anything else, just because the Xiao family boy was born to learn martial arts, and then rushed to the battlefield, went forward and succeeded, and died for Da Chu, and finally all three generations of men of the Xiao family died on the battlefield, and even the only granddaughter Xiao Ruiying is now sent to the battlefield by herself; Based on this, how can Zao Wou-Ki be disrespectful? Who is disrespectful in the entire Chu State?

Xiao Ruiying's return to Beijing this time, it can be said that many people know what the reason is, first, the queen's birthday is coming, and second, Xiao Niangen wants to choose a son-in-law for Xiao Ruiying, and the Xiao family has the only bloodline left, no matter how selfless he is, he has to think about it for the future of the Xiao family.
