Jiang Meng said: Where did that woman come from? How could she live in the Jinyang government office? Was she related to the Marquis of Yan?
Diao Mo said nothing, only watching the carriage with the little woman inside fading away until out of his sight, then withdrew his gaze.
Leader, I think I saw a tattoo of the Beihe tribe on that boys arm. Another follower suddenly said.
Jiang Meng froze and then showed disdain: He is a Beihe! He was born on the noses of the Han people! He deserved to be humiliated like that!
Beihe people are another tribe of Longxi Qiang besides the Shao Dang tribe. The current elder was named Yuan Wang, ruling wisely for more than 40 years. He led the clan to farm and build houses, gradually changing the nomadic style for settlement. The population multiplied, and they were very famous in the Huangshui area. But later, the Beihe people, like the rest of the Longxi Qiang, suffered from Chen Xiang and Feng Zhao, the ruler of Liangzhou, and were forced to move far away.
Last month, when Diao Mo was planning to attack Shang County, he invited the Beihe tribe to join him in the battle but was politely refused by Yuan Wang. The Beihe people hold their troops still. When they lost the war, Jiang Meng was resentful of the Beihe tribe, who did not join the battle.
Diao Mo said, Everyone has his own choice. The leader of the Beihe tribe is highly respected and has his considerations for not sending troops. I have always respected him. You should stop talking nonsense!
Jiang Meng closed his mouth.
Diao Mo pondered. The boys appearance emerged before his eyes, and suddenly he felt familiar but could not remember where he had seen him. After hesitating, he instructed one of his followers to follow the boy. Then he led his men and went out of town.
Chun Niang looked at Xiao Qiao, who concentrated on her embroidery pattern on the table and couldnt help but say, You have been here for so many days. When exactly is Master coming back? Xiao Qiao did not answer her words.
Chun Niang said again, Maybe Master doesnt know you are already here. Why dont you send a letter to him?
Xiao Qiaos eyes still fell on the flower pattern, but she laughed when she heard Chun Niangs words. Then Chun Niang, what do you think I should say in my letter to him?
Chun Niang hurriedly said, Just say that you miss
Suddenly, there was a footstep outside the door, and the stewards voice followed: A letter for the lady of the county has arrived!
Xiao Qiao suddenly raised her eyes and stopped her pen. Chun Niang hurriedly got up to get the letter and happily handed it to Xiao Qiao, What a coincidence! Just now, I said you should write to Master, and now he has sent a letter to you!
Xiao Qiao took out the letter, which was sealed in a bamboo tube and stamped with lacquer. After unfolding the letter, she read it. Her eyelashes fluttered slightly, and her eyes fixed.
Chun Niang smiled, waiting for Xiao Qiao to say what was in the letter. Her smile slowly disappeared when she saw Xiao Qiaos expression. She asked uneasily, Whats wrong?
The one who wrote the letter was Gongsun Yang, who was with Wei Shao in Xihe County. Three days ago, Wei Shao decided to return to Jinyang, leaving Gongsun Yang in Xihe County to fight against Feng Zhao of Liangzhou. Before leaving, Wei Shao took a small group of men and horses with Gongsun Yang to survey the terrain, but they received a sudden attack. Wei Shao protected Gongsun Yang from the attack and escaped successfully, but an arrow pierced one of his arms. He thought it was only a flesh wound and did not concern about it at the time. But unexpectedly, that arrow was poisonous. Fortunately, with timely treatment, his life was not in danger.
However, there was still residual poison in Wei Shaos body. His body was still weak and was now recuperating. He did not want to let his wife know about it, so he strictly ordered him not to send a message. But Gongsun Yang felt guilty and knew she was in Jinyang, so he didnt dare to hide it and sent a letter to report it.
