Chapter 428: Attack of the Turks (2
“Xie in the south and Shen in the north,” Luo Tan said slowly.
Shen Miao was stunned and looked at Luo Tan. She nibbled on her orange and continued, “Everyone knows that there are two major military families in Ming Qi. One is the Shen family, the mighty general who is my uncle-in-law, and the other is the Xie family, the Marquis of Lin’an. Cousin Qiu is a talent of the Shen family. I heard that the Young Marquis of the Xie family is also very talented. Back then, Grandpa was lucky enough to meet Young Marquis Xie once. Later, he commented that this child will be extraordinary and will one day be a figure respected by everyone.”
“Grandpa… has he seen Young Marquis Xie?” Shen Miao asked hesitantly.
Luo Qian also said, “That’s right, Sister. Why didn’t I know?”
“Other than eating, what else do you know?” Luo Tan rolled her eyes at Luo Qian and continued, “I overheard that when I was in the military camp of the Xie army with Grandpa. After Grandpa saw Young Marquis Xie, he commented on him. Originally, I wanted to ask more about Young Marquis Xie, but Grandpa told me to stay away from him and said that Young Marquis Xie is a dangerous person. Don’t provoke him.”
Shen Miao lowered her eyes. She did not know that Luo Sui had actually seen Xie Jingxing before. However, Luo Sui could actually tell that Xie Jingxing was not simple. Luo Tan asked, “Cousin, speaking of which, you grew up in the capital too. You should have seen that Young Marquis Xie, right?”
Shen Miao paused for a moment and nodded.
“What does he look like?” Luo Tan grabbed Shen Miao’s arm. “Is he as handsome as the rumors say? Is he even more handsome than Brother Ling?”
Of the three sons of the Luo family, Luo Ling was gentle, Luo Sa was violent, and Luo Qian was lively. They were all handsome. However, because Luo Ling was the gentlest, he looked the most “handsome”.
Shen Miao said, “Not as handsome as Cousin Ling.”
“What?” Luo Tan let go, her eyes filled with disappointment. “But I heard that Young Marquis Xie is good-looking and has the most flirtatious personality. If women take a look at him, they will be intoxicated. It turns out he’s not even as handsome as Brother Ling.”
Luo Qian looked at her gloatingly. “The most important thing for a man is ability. What does it have to do with looks? Besides, even if that Young Marquis Xie is really looking for a wife, he won’t look for someone like you.” Luo Qian smiled at Shen Miao. “Of course he wants to find a beautiful and gentle girl like Cousin.”
Luo Tan and Luo Qian immediately started bickering again.
Shen Miao held her forehead and watched the siblings argue, feeling a little helpless. She did not expect Xie Jingxing to also be so famous in Spring City. At the thought of how Xie Jingxing was going to the northern border, she thought that he must have already arrived. This was the first time he led troops to war in the name of a young commander. When she thought of his tragic ending in her previous life, her heart skipped a beat.
Forget it. Shen Miao shook her head and chased away the messy thoughts in her mind. In the past, she thought that Xie Jingxing was best at using troops to set up formations. However, in this life, the more she interacted with Xie Jingxing, the more she realized that he was clearly best at hiding behind the scenes and playing the mastermind. That person was so calm and collected. He must… definitely be able to turn misfortune into fortune.
Time passed quickly. Luo Tan and Luo Qian sat with Shen Miao until evening. The sky began to darken. In Spring City, when it reached September, the grassland outside the city wall would start to dry, but it often rained heavily in the city. Unlike the rain in the capital, the rain in Spring City would also bring fierce wind mixed with sand. Dark clouds almost covered the entire sky. In just a moment, it was as if night was coming.
Luo Tan looked at the sky and said, “Not good. I’m afraid it’s going to hail again.”
