Then, it was the Northern Expedition to Yanyun, Zhao Jiong and Zhao Pu, Cao Bin and other confidants had already agreed that after conquering Taiyuan, they would not be in a hurry to send a reward, lest the soldiers have no intention of fighting if they have money.

As long as Yanyun is recovered, the guilt in Zhao Jiong's heart because of the sound of axes and candles will be completely eliminated, and the people of the world will no longer be able to say anything about him, the true dragon emperor. At that time, Tang Taizong didn't kill two brothers and imprisoned his father's throne, but he swept away the Turks and governed the world to a splendid scale.

Zhao Jiong exhaled a long breath, stood up, stood in front of the window with his hands in his hands, and watched the goose-feather-like snow falling one after another, decorating the palace into a silver-white world. A cold wind blew in from the window, and he was hot because of the review and recital, Zhao Jiong, who was a little dizzy, only felt a burst of comfort, and the raging charcoal fire in the house made his throat a little dry, and there was also a flame burning in his heart.

"This Cai Yu can't govern the country, but the words are very well written, 'Cutting socks and stepping incense, carrying golden shoes.'" See you on the south side of the painting hall, and you have always been trembling. It is difficult for the slave to come out, and the king is merciful. What an artistic conception, and a delicate beauty. If that Xiao Zhou Hou is still here, he will be summoned to the palace and play with wanton desecration, which will really have a different taste. A strange thought suddenly popped up in Zhao Jiong's mind, and the evil fire in his heart was even hotter, and he secretly felt a little sorry for not being able to kiss Fang Ze. The act of burning the piano and cooking the crane is his favorite. The emperor has been in office for almost three years, and he is already a little tired of the concubines and palace maids who compete for favor.

The cold winter has been caused, even Bianliang has fallen goose feather snow, but the northwest is even more bitter cold, the sharp north wind, blowing from morning to night, the cold wind is sandwiched with snow particles, cold like a knife, with sand and dust, penetrating into the bone marrow. At the head of Dunhuang City, Zhou Hou, who was looking forward to it, sneezed coldly, unconsciously wrapped the white cloak on his body a little tighter, and the maidservant next to him persuaded: "Madam, it's getting late, go back early." ”

Zhou Hou shook his head and did not speak. The veil was flicked, and Zhaojun's smooth forehead was revealed under his hat, and a few strands of hair, and a pair of eyes seemed to be cut, looking at the distant sky.

The black city head was gradually covered with a thin layer of snow, and the two maids and maids who stood behind the battlements and watched from a distance slowly resembled snowmen. It's just that the soldiers guarding the city around him didn't dare to come up and persuade him. Wu Yingying and Huang Wen stayed in Bianliang, and the Uighur princess lived in Ganzhou, and only Mrs. Zhou was left in Dunhuang City who had something to do with the lord.

After the winter, although the Anxi army arranged for the households to engage in the peripheral work of the craftsman's workshop, repair the city wall, practice martial arts and arrows, and so on. But the people were always more idle than when they were busy with farming, and they spent all day in the walled city to have some fun, so the storyteller's business flourished.

In the Anxi army, the Ben Duonan people, and the others were from the northwest, so they naturally stood on the side of Liu Guan and Zhang Shu, and were hostile to Cao Cao, who also occupied the Central Plains. There are even more rappers, comparing Wu Yingying to Liu Xuande, Xin Gu and Xiao Jiu are the second generals of Guan Zhang who are in good faith with the lord, and the question of who is Zhao Zilong is still being disputed, the hero genealogy circulated in Gan and Su states says it is Chase, and some other states also say that it is Zhang Zhongyao, and some say that it is Yu Furen Rail, and Ma Chao's position, Yu Furen Rail and Luo Youtong have their own supporters. During this time, the most common scene in the walled cities in Hexi is that men, women and children who have worked all day gather in the tea house tavern, a pot of tea, two corners of wine, half a plate of fried peas and spiced melon seeds, listen to Mr. Shang's speech, and then everyone is quite interested in arguing about the ranking of today's five tiger generals. These explanations of karma became more and more popular, and the generals of the Anxi army did not stop them, and many officers were proud of them.

Later, Wu Yingying's daughters were also seated by the good deeds, Huang Wen and Zhou Hou were seconded to become the two wives of Ganmi, and the Uighur princess was Sun Shangxiang, and the Uighur warriors who joined the Anxi army did not think they were disobedient, but discussed with the Han army the question of who was Zhou Yu and who was Lu Su among the Uighur heroes. Everyone seems to think that now that Shu and Jiangdong have become a family, it seems that the destruction of the white-faced traitors of the Central Plains Manchu Dynasty is just around the corner.

These rumors reached Zhou Hou's ears, and she only smiled on the surface, feeling a little annoyed, a little lost, and more anxious.

The only person in the city who knew Zhou Hou's true identity was Xiao Jiu, and everyone else only regarded her as Wu Yingying's wife. The people of this era are not as independent as later generations, whether they are Han or Hu, they always unconsciously hope that there is a wise and martial leader on their heads to take care of themselves, and now Wu Yingying and Huang Wen, who are pinned on the hopes of the Anxi military and civilians, are forced to live in Bianliang, and Wu Yingying and Huang Wen's almost extreme prestige in the Anxi military and civilians are naturally borne by her.

Zhou Hou is not as kind and friendly as Huang Wen, in and out of the total mask and light veil, but her demeanor seems to be natural, giving people a sense of grace and beauty. Wherever she appears, she will inevitably become the center of attention, whether it is a person who is blushing for the price of goods, or someone who is foaming at the mouth of the mouth, or even beating and scolding children, as soon as she sees this graceful figure under Zhaojun's hat and cloak from head to toe, she will unconsciously lower her voice. Men will put their dirty sleeves behind their backs, women will unconsciously and secretly comb their hair, and those who have mirrors around them will glance at them, in short, they all want to show their decency and courtesy in front of this Mrs. Zhou. The arrester in charge of public security in Dunhuang City even joked that no matter how commotion the soldiers and ordinary people were, as soon as Mrs. Zhou arrived, order would be restored immediately, and everyone would become polite gentlemen.

Even Xiao Jiu, who was in charge of Dunhuang, occasionally met with Zhou Hou's respectful and polite attitude, which also puzzled Zhou Hou, whether he respected himself as the queen of Jiangnan, or really regarded himself as a wife of Wu Yingying. With the soldiers and civilians of Hexi almost regard her as a symbol of the lord Wu Yingying staying in Hexi, Zhou Hou sometimes falls into the confusion of identity, she will pay attention to her appearance, and even for the occasional injustice, she will unconsciously substitute herself into the role of this lady to solve problems for these people.

At the head of Dunhuang City, the sergeants guarding the city looked at the background that had almost become a snow sculpture after Zhou with some respect. He knew that Madame was waiting for an army to return from the west of Yumen Pass.

Finally, on the horizon of the wind and snow in the distance, a red flag jumped out, and in the flying sand with larger and larger snow flakes, it was like a fire, which made people's eyes shine. "Madame, they are back!" said the maidservant, whose lips had already turned purple, and then frowned, for she had stood in the ice and snow for too long, and her feet had already been numb from the cold, and she had just stomped twice, and her heart was immediately painful.
