In fact, while the two princes were fighting with their wits and courage, the other side might have been more skilled or the king might have had a bad luck. The few grains and fodder in the granary were all destroyed by the enemy. There was not much food left in the city. When marching and fighting, one had to pay attention to how important food was to the army since the army had not yet arrived.

Although the territory commanded by the emperor at that time was famous for its wealth, food and supplies were not enough to keep up with it in a short period of time. Therefore, it was imperative that they wait until the supplies arrived. Even the monarch would starve before supplies arrived.

Although the monarch was full of ambition, he was sickly. The long journey had made him unwell, and the sudden famine had only added fuel to the fire. With too much worry and too much hunger, the king finally fell.

He was sick, and soon, he saw the king was about to die. His trusted men were all panicking. Yu had cured the King's illness, but he was unable to feed the King who was still in a coma and had not forgotten to pick out his food. As soon as ordinary food got near, it caused a violent reaction from the King, making it impossible for him to eat it.

For a time, no one knew what to do.

At this moment, the ancestor of the Yun family took the initiative to offer his services to the king, but ended up feeding him a big bowl instead. Only then did he manage to keep the king alive.

After the Monarch had escaped from death, the supplies arrived in time to solve the urgent needs of the army. When the Monarch woke up, he heard his trusted aide tell him about the situation when he was unconscious, and it happened to be the military's best news. He was immediately overjoyed.

After knowing that the Yun Family's ancestor had given up his own safety for the sake of killing the country, he gave the title of loyal and brave with a single stroke of his brush. After the victory of the Great War, the generals of the Fire Cloud Country rewarded the victors for their meritorious service. The Yun Family's Old Ancestor was also naturally conferred the title of Marquis of Bravery.

Speaking of which, when it came to this house of the Marquis, the founding king was not named as the current one. It was just that the loyal duke at that time was the Yun Family's ancestor who had coincidentally picked this one. It was a beautiful name: quiet.

The exact reason was unknown. In short, the rumors in the house of the Marquis were all true. The Old Ancestor did not care about his reputation and did not like competing with others for power.

The rumor among the commoners was the exact opposite. The Marquis of Fealty was originally a villager who had never seen the world before. He had seen this mansion take up a large area, pavilion buildings, and exquisite buildings. That was why he wanted to occupy this mansion.

That's right, this mansion was indeed different from the other noble families' residences. It was different from the usual large and grand ones.

According to the residence of the children of the capital's royal family, the House of Marquis Zhongyong was rather far from the residents of the outskirts of the city. There was a thousand-year-old ancient banyan tree less than ten miles away, with a large crown that cast a shady shadow over it. People in the neighboring villages liked to talk about their families under this big banyan tree.

Winter was a bit colder here. Most people would gather here during the summer, blowing the cool wind under the shade of the trees. Then there were the eastern parents. The Xi Family was so short, yet they had spent an hour or two here. Hey, Mrs. Sun, have you heard? The loyal family of Marquis Yong is going to marry their daughter. " a woman in her thirties or forties approached an older woman and whispered.

Old Mrs. Sun obviously had a good relationship with this woman. Perhaps it was because both of them loved to talk.

Upon hearing this, Old Sun's eyes lit up. At first glance, she was definitely very interested. She then approached the woman and asked excitedly, "Old woman, I haven't heard about this before. Where did you get the news from?"

She raised her chin arrogantly and said, "I have a distant relative working in the house of the Marquis, and because they have a good relationship with the stewards, they know a lot of things that others do not know. He was the one who told me this."

Old Woman Sun nodded her head when she heard this and actually believed the woman's words. In the end, he only sighed and said, "The Marquis has always been a loyal duke, but this marriage to his daughter must have been very grand. I've never seen this old woman in all my years of life." Pausing for a moment, she continued, "I've heard that the eldest daughter of the loyal Marquis, Xian Liande, is a wise man. The Ning family is rich indeed."

The woman chuckled, "You might not know, but the rumour is that the one getting married isn't the Yun family's eldest miss, but the second miss. However, the man is still the Ning family's eldest son." She put on an intriguing expression, the meaning of which was self-evident.

Seeing the woman like this, Old Sun also smiled in understanding. "Speaking of which, the young miss of the loyal house of the Marquis is the one who is truly pitiful. She has lost her mother since she was young, and the stepmother is also an unvirtuous one. Now that she has been taken over by someone from a young age, who knows what kind of husband she will have right now."

Old Sun then turned around as if he had felt something and looked in the direction of the loyal duke. Not long later, an extremely luxurious carriage slowly drove in from there. It seemed like it was the departure of the woman from the house of the Marquis.

Old Lady Sun watched unblinkingly until the carriage drew past a small figure. She then murmured, "This is clearly the carriage of a woman of the house of the Marquis. Looking at the direction, she seems to be heading towards a few villages. Aren't they usually headed towards the capital?" What song is this again? "

However, how could these rich and powerful women like them understand? She only thought about it for a moment, then stopped thinking about it as she pulled old Mrs. Sun to talk about the amazing new wife that had just married into the neighboring village.

A formidable young daughter-in-law meeting with an evil mother-in-law for the rest of her life was not something that could be said in a short period of time.

It was already close to noon. At this moment, the sound of horse hooves could be heard on the village road, which was usually deserted. "Da Da Da... Da Da..." The crisp ring of the bell was especially pleasing to the ear. As they approached a small village, the elderly ladies at the foot of the tree at the intersection heard the crisp bell and immediately recognized the carriage as being commonly used by the female servants of the Guan Family.

The women all liked exquisite things, jingle jingle jingle jingle, crisp and crisp.

The children sitting around the carriage curiously looked at the purple carriage that was gradually approaching. The flowered windows, the beaded curtains, the fine purple tassels moved back and forth with the rolling of the carriage, and small purple bells were hung from them. On the walls of the carriage, there was a picture of a luxurious peony symbolizing wealth and splendor, and purplish-gold vines twisted around the blooming flowers, twisting and twisting until they reached the very edge of the carriage.
