After knowing that the Empty City Stratagem was thought of by Shen Miao, Luo Sui had a higher opinion of Shen Miao. Shen Xin was naturally proud and repeatedly praised that his daughter could not be compared to a man.
Two days later, Luo Sui announced in front of everyone in the Luo family that he wanted to reorganize the Luo family's army.
The entire Xiao Chun City cheered and jumped in joy as they spread the news. Even the younger generation of the Luo family were extremely excited. Only Shen Miao's expression was calm as this was already expected. The night of the Tu Jue's surprise attack would make Luo Sui determined that rather than being chased, it would be better to make a comeback while he was still young.
As for the matter of money, Luo Xue Yan still had some savings and as for the people to train the soldiers, Shen Qiu and Shen Xin were worried that there was no place for them to use their skills so naturally they happily agreed. It was not an easy matter to recruit all of those brave generals who had long removed their armours and returned back to train the troops, but the Luo family were all brave generals. Since they had done it, naturally they were determined. In a moment, the Xiao Chun City became lively.
The days passed peacefully and satisfactorily.
One day, Shen Miao was sitting at the table reading when Luo Tan rushed in and almost knocked over the chair at the door. Gu Yu jumped in shock. Shen Miao looked at her and before she could speak, she saw Luo Tan panting and stroking her chest, "Biao Younger Sister, have you heard?"
"What?" Shen Miao asked.
"That Little Marquis of the Xie Clan!" Luo Tan gestured in a flurry, "It's the Little Marquis of the Xie family that I mentioned to you before, the one who is as famous as Cousin Qiu. Didn't he ask to be the marshal to go to the Northern Borderline to resist the enemy?"
Shen Miao's heart jumped and she looked at Luo Tan and slowly nodded her head, "I know."
"You've heard the news from before, right? That Young Marquis Xie has been winning battles all day, and the Xiongnu have been forced to the edge of the desert." Luo Tan said, "Everyone is saying that when Little Marquis Xie returns to the capital, one fear that his meritorious service would be higher than the Marquis of Lin An, and His Majesty would definitely reward him with a high official position."
These words were not false. Not long after Shen Miao reached the Xiao Chun City, Xie Jing Xing also led the Xie family's army to the northern border. The bravery that Xie Jing Xing displayed on the battlefield caused people to click their tongues in amazement. Whether it was arranging troops or fighting alone with the enemy leader, the fierceness and coldness that he displayed made the enemy tremble in fear upon hearing his name. They originally thought that Xie Jing Xing would not be able to subdue the Xie family's army, but the Xie family's army had performed miraculous feats in Xie Jing Xing's hands. This finally made people put away the last shred of doubt towards Xie Jing Xing. Everyone said that Xie Jing Xin would be the most outstanding male in Ming Qi and in the future his achievements would be above the Marquis of Lin An. When Shen Xin and Luo Sui occasionally talked about this matter, they were full of praises for Xie Jing Xing, saying that he was a rare talent in the world. Because Shen Miao knew of Xie Jing Xing's ability in her previous life, she was not surprised at all.
She patiently listened to Luo Tan's words, but she saw that Luo Tan's eyes were red, and an ominous premonition rushed into her heart. She asked softly, "What's wrong with you?"
"Dead." Luo Tan could not hold it in and her tears fell, "Little Marquis Xie is dead!"
In Luo Tan's heart, Xie Jing Xing was a hero like Shen Qiu, and she worshipped him very much. At this moment her tears could not be stopped, "That Little Marquis Xie was surrounded by the enemy from the back yesterday and thousands of arrows pierced through his heart. His corpse was hung on the city walls and skinned to show to the public." Luo Tan cried, "Biao Youngest Sister, he is dead!"
He is dead!
The teacup in Jing Zhe's hands fell to the ground with a 'bang' and she immediately looked at Shen Miao in panic. Shen Miao and Xie Jing Xing had some friendship, so if Xie Jing Xing was dead, what would be Shen Miao's reaction?
What would be Shen Miao's reaction?
Shen Miao sat in front of the table and quietly looked at the crying Luo Tan. Her expression was so calm that it was scary, as if what Luo Tan said was not an extraordinary event, but ordinary words like the weather was good and the flowers were blooming well. It was just that the more peaceful her eyes were, the tighter her grip on the book in front of her was.
Did Xie Jing Xing die?
Thousands of arrows pierced through his heart, skinned to dry, and hung on the city walls to show to the public. It was the same ending as in the previous lifetime. Was it really Xie Jing Xing?
Shen Miao thought absentmindedly, as if she was trying to distinguish if this news was a joke or reality. However what floated in her mind was that day in the courtyard of Guang Wen Tang, when Glutinous Rice Dumpling tricked her out to talk, and the tall and handsome youth that walked out from the forest. That youth was wearing an ivory white embroidered robe with silver threads. He was handsome and arrogant as he elegantly walked towards her step by step.
His lips hooked up into a mischievous smile, and his peach blossom eyes had a smile that was not a smile that was very intoxicating. It was 30% frivolous, 60% probing, and the remaining 10% was a youth's romantic.
"So it is you." He said.
