The long night passed in the cold wind and snow. When the sky was just shining, a series of hooves sounded outside the gate of the city, which startled the city gate officials and climbed up to the top of the city to look far away.

At this moment, although it was light, the heavy snow did not stop, and the snow was falling. In the vast white world, dozens of riders were galloping from afar, each with a brave posture and a dragon like momentum, and soon they ran to the gate.

After strangling the Xinjiang rope, one of them yelled: "don't open the gate as soon as possible!"

The city gate officials saw that these people were extraordinary and did not dare to offend them. They carefully said, "the Empress Dowager Wei has an order. The city gate is closed. No one is allowed to go in or out. Please forgive me."

A middle-aged man with a beard twisted his eyebrows in front of him and said, "we are here at the command of Empress Dowager Wei."

"I don't know if you are..."

The middle-aged man glanced at him and hummed coldly: "little city gate official, he said very well." After a pause, he said in a loud voice: "we are the vassal kings of all directions. We honor the Empress Dowager's edict. When we learn of the turmoil in Jinling, we are here to escort the king!"

Vassal!

The city gate official was shocked. Although he was a humble official, he also knew that the vassal kings were not allowed to enter the capital without imperial edicts. Now the vassal kings from all over the world have arrived, and this Jinling City I'm afraid it's going to change.

It's a matter of great importance. The city gate officials dare not make their own decisions. They respectfully say, "please wait for a moment, and let me report to you."

"What a nuisance The middle-aged man said discontentedly, but he didn't embarrass the city gate officials and urged: "go quickly!"

The city gate official agreed and quickly went down the city gate. After about half an hour, the thick city gate slowly opened, and a man walked out of it. It was Wei Jin.

Wei Jin welcomed him with a smile on his face and arched his hand to say, "congratulations to you princes. It's been a long time. I thought you princes would not arrive until afternoon. It's really a slight."

"It's Marquis Wei." The bearded middle-aged man dismounted and said, "the Empress Dowager has a purpose. No matter how hard we work, we have to come. After several groups of horses are exhausted, we finally arrive ahead of time."

At this time, the other seven princes also dismounted one after another. One of them was discontented and said, "why did the Empress Dowager pass on us and close the gate at the same time?"

Wei Jin sighed and said, "let's talk about it. Let's go to the Palace first. I'll tell you about it slowly on the way."

The eight vassal kings looked at each other, nodded, and rode back to Zhaoming palace with Wei Jin. The people along the way were full of curiosity about the people on the high horse, and secretly guessed their origins.

As soon as the eight vassal kings came to Beijing, news came to Zhang Qiling, who played with a colorful glass cup and said in a cool voice, "how many people have they brought?"

The spy shook his head and said, "it's not clear. Only a few vassal kings and their cronies entered the city."

Zhang Qiling threw the glass cup on the table and said calmly, "I know. Keep staring. The play will soon begin."

After the spy went down, rouge hesitated: "young master, shall we go out of the city first?"

Zhang Qiling raised her eyebrows and said, "what's the matter? Don't you want to see the play?"

"King Mu escaped from the city with his military talisman. Once he gathered his troops, there will be a fierce battle in Jinling City. The young master has arranged everything. It doesn't matter whether he stays in the city or not. Besides..." Rouge look dignified way: "these days the eldest prince's people have been staring at us, maidservant worried that he would be bad for the young master."

Zhang Qiling sneered, "brother wants to deal with me is not a day or two, as a result, I'm still alive?"

"That said, it's always good to be careful, young master..."

With a flick of his fingernail, Zhang Qiling said coldly, "if I leave now, I will certainly take all the credit with my elder brother's temperament. It's not my temperament to make wedding clothes for others."

Rouge was about to persuade him again when a young man came in with a strange look and said, "I'd like to inform you that Princess Xuanji is visiting."

Zhang Qiling was stunned for a moment, almost thinking that he had heard wrong, "Princess Xuanji?"

The little Si definitely nods, "yes, she is waiting outside."

Rouge was puzzled and said, "Empress Dowager Wei has blocked the Zhaoming palace. How did she get out? Why do you come here to find your son

Zhang Qiling's eyes flashed slightly, and the fellow on the other side said, "please let her in."

After the boy left, rouge couldn't help but say, "young master, she..."

Zhang Qiling raised her hand to interrupt her, "I know what you want to ask, but I don't know what she's coming for. Be careful what you say later. Don't show your flaws in front of her."

Rouge nodded helplessly. After a while, mu Qianxue in green came in. Zhang Qiling's eyes lit slightly and said with a smile: "today, when I wash, I saw a spider hanging in front of the window. Rouge said that it was a sign of a visitor. I thought who it would be. It was Mu girl. It's really rare. Please sit down."

Mu Qianxue leaned back and said with a smile, "if you come here rashly, please don't blame Mr. Zhang.""I can't be happy if you're willing to come whatever Miss Mu says." Zhang Qiling said half jokingly and half seriously, "but I didn't expect Miss Mu would come here on a snowy day. Please sit down." With that, he said to rouge, "go and ask for a charcoal basin. Remember to use good silver charcoal."

Rouge answered and quickly brought in a charcoal pot. This inn is the best one in Jinling City, and most of them live with people of status. Therefore, they keep Silver Charcoal for customers all the year round. If they change one, they will only have black charcoal.

Zhang Qiling carefully put the charcoal basin at mu Qianxue's feet, and personally took the tea made by the young man and handed it to Mu Qianxue. Wen said, "come on, have a cup of tea to warm your body."

"Thank you very much." Mu Qianxue uncovers the blue and white porcelain cover, and the slender tea slowly stretches in the clear green tea soup, emitting a refreshing aroma.

Zhang Qiling poked the charcoal fire that had just been burned in the copper basin and said, "by the way, Miss Mu came here in the snow today, but what's the matter?"

Mu Qianxue held the warm tea cup and said slowly, "there are some things. I don't know if Mr. Zhang is willing to help me."

Zhang Qiling's eyes flashed slightly. "Just say that, Miss mu. As long as you can help me, I'm bound to do it."

Mu Qianxue said with a smile, "I've always been grateful to two people, one is my husband, and the other is Mr. Zhang. If Mr. Zhang hadn't borrowed the art of war after the wind, which I took in wanbaoge, my husband would have been in danger."

Zhang Qiling knew the reason, but he pretended to doubt, "what's the relationship between this art of war and Mu girl's husband?"

Rouge interjected: "to tell you the truth, we don't know who the husband of Miss Mu is. She is beautiful and knows so much. It's really lucky to marry a girl."
