This time, the cavalry of the Liao people, with a very accurate goal, directly rushed into Yuanbao Street, where shops gathered, and looted on a large scale.

Another group of people went straight to Jinqiao Road, where the rich lived, with big chains in their hands, robbing what they saw and what they were worth.

By the time Zhang Huai organized his men to rush over, the cavalry of the Liao people had already withdrawn from Shanhaiguan.

People everywhere in Shanhaiguan were panicking, and those who were robbed and killed were crying even more. Zhang Huairen was riding on a horse, but he felt weak in his limbs and dizzy.

Who can tell him what the hell is going on? Where did the cavalry of the Liao people come from? Could it have fallen from the sky?

Zhang Huai's personal entourage, carefully patted his horse forward, and said in a low voice: "General, let's appease and try to suppress this matter." ”

"I can't hold it down, hurry up and confess my guilt, and ask Master Hou to come back."

Although Zhang Huai was reckless, he also knew it. This Shanhaiguan must have the eyes of the emperor and the queen mother, as well as the major families in Beijing.

Today's Liao cavalry raid will definitely not be hidden, and it is better to plead guilty to the emperor as soon as possible.

In the cold winter, Zhang Huai wiped the sweat on his head and said sharply: "Check it for Lao Tzu, if you don't want to die, you must find out the details!" ”

"Yes, General!"

Soon, the situation at Yumen Pass spread to the capital from various channels.

In the tent of the Liao king, the Queen Mother of Liao and the black-robed man sat opposite each other. In the middle is a shelf on a brazier, covered with a barbed wire fence, roasting tender lamb and steaming with fat.

Empress Dowager Liao ordered with a smile: "Pour wine for Mr., Mr. don't worry, General Menggula can understand Mr.'s picture, and he will definitely return victorious." ”

"Queen Mother, such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, why didn't the Queen Mother directly occupy the Yumen Pass?"

The black-robed man who was honored as Mr. by the Empress Dowager of Liao was a little anxious, and originally said that he would give the Liao people a map and internal response, and let them lead 50,000 cavalry to temporarily capture Yumen Pass.

Unexpectedly, the Empress Dowager Liao agreed very well, but only 5,000 elite soldiers were sent on the ground.

The surprise attack of the right time, place and people can make them rush into the pass without much effort. 50,000 horses can take Yumen Pass, but there are only 5,000 cavalry, and when Zhang Huai comes to his senses, he can be strangled and killed.

Empress Dowager Liao took off a piece of mutton with a knife and fork from the iron net, waited for the maid to add condiments, rolled it up with chopsticks and sent it to her mouth.

He drank a sip of mare's milk wine in a hurry, and then said with a smile: "Yumen Pass is easy to defend and difficult to attack, which means that we are difficult to attack from outside the city, if we occupy Yumen Pass, we can't hold it, why waste it?" It's better to grab something and survive the winter. ”

The people in the black robe were annoyed, and if they were not from our clan, they would have a heart.

I brought a lot of food, gave a detailed map, and arranged the internal response. I thought that I could coax them to capture Yumen Pass and stay for a while, and then His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would be able to personally conquer and make great achievements.

I didn't expect these barbarians to just want to grab something and run away. I don't know if this will be enough to recall Xiao Yao back to Yumen Pass.

"In my opinion, the Queen Mother was frightened by Xiao Yao, right? Now that Xiao Yao is not here, the Queen Mother does not dare to occupy the Yumen Pass. ”

The Empress Dowager Liao was not agitated, and spoke in stiff Chinese, and said with a smile: "If it is cold today, even if the Yumen Pass is defeated." There's no way I'm going to move there. As long as there is Mr. to help, when the spring flowers bloom in the coming year, I will definitely gather the strength of the whole clan to capture the Yumen Pass. ”

The black-robed man's face changed slightly, and now he can only hope that the attack on Yumen Pass can recall Xiao Yao. Otherwise, if you spoil the good deeds of His Royal Highness the Prince, you will not be able to escape the blame even if you die.

These things in Yumen Pass, people in the capital still don't know anything.

In a blink of an eye, it was November 11th, and the friends who had made friends with Mingzhu came to Qingzhi Hall to add makeup.

Originally, according to Mrs. Gu's idea, she wanted Mingzhu to look back at home to be married. However, Gu Fuma insisted and let Mingzhu marry in the palace.

I don't know how Gu Juma moved Mrs. Gu later, and finally Mrs. Gu also agreed, and Mingzhu married in Cining Palace.

So the day before they got married, those who added makeup all came to Cining Palace.

Gu Fanghua felt that this was fine, the people who could enter the palace to add makeup were at least very close people. It also avoided some people who didn't know each other, and came forward in the name of adding makeup.

Zhong Taojiao came the earliest, she left her son and nurse at the Queen Mother and came to Qingzhi Palace.

As soon as I entered the door of the inner room, I was dazzled by the golden red wedding dress on the hanger. Even Gu Fanghua, who was sitting at the table, didn't even care, and went straight to the hanger.

A brightly colored red silk wedding dress embroidered with a phoenix flying high.

The whole phoenix is embroidered with gold and silver filigree, and it is dazzling in the sun. The phoenix's eyes are inlaid with two rubies, the feathers are made of jadeite, and even the phoenix's claws are decorated with fine obsidian.

Because the materials are all high-quality gemstones, and the silk threads are also gold and silver threads, the phoenix on the entire wedding dress is lifelike and brilliant.

The phoenix seems to be alive, wanting to rise into the sky.

Zhong Taojiao stretched out her hand, touched the dazzling wedding dress, and exclaimed: "Oh my God, it's the first time I've seen such a beautiful wedding dress." At that time, I thought my wedding dress was not bad, but now that I compare it, I feel that it is time to throw it away. ”

Gu Fanghua smiled silently, to be honest, she was also stunned when she saw this wedding dress for the first time.

"Mingzhu, you go out in this wedding dress tomorrow, I see the next three years, no! The bride within ten years, no matter what the wedding dress, is bland. ”

Gu Fanghua smiled and said proudly: "Of course, this is the grandmother of the Queen Mother, who added fifty percent of the objects to the princess's wedding dress to make it look like it is today." ”

"That's right! I see that there is no ordinary silk thread on your garment, but it is all gold and silver thread. ”

As soon as Zhong Taojiao's words fell, Zimei next to her smiled: "Miss Jiao, this wedding dress is only gold and silver thread, and it takes eight catties and eight taels." ”

"Mingzhu, I've always heard of luxury and luxury before, I don't know what luxury is, but now I know when I look at your wedding dress."

Zhong Taojiao's praise made the corners of Gu Fanghua's mouth curle.

"Who let you drool over my wedding dress as soon as you came in, and don't say anything, what did you add makeup to me today?"

"Don't worry, you won't be lost."

Zhong Taojiao took the brocade box in Ah Xing's hand, pushed it over and said with a smile: "Look, are you satisfied?" ”

Gu Fanghua saw that although the box was not big, it was carved from rosewood, and it seemed that it must be a good object inside, otherwise it would be expensive enough to buy and return the beads.

Waiting for Gu Fanghua to gently open the box, a round item made of gold lay quietly on the thin red velvet blanket. Above is a strange flower inlaid with rubies.

Gu Fanghua was curious, picked it up and opened it to take a look.
