General Above I am Below Chapter Two “General On White Horse”

Finally the female lead returns home. First impression of the female general.

On winter of thirteen Dezong year, the city streets are cleared up, on the surface was covered in a layer of fine snow, the two sides of the road crowded with the thick clothed citizens, all head crane up looking for something. In the middle of the road is reported one by one the horses that comes through, the guards shouted holding people by road, it took a lot of work to stop the frenzy crowd.

Dai Qin society is relatively relaxed, the concept of male and female is not too tight, a poor girl can followed her parents or husband to watch in the bustling scene, sitting on top of the tea shop, whispering smile and laugh sweetly, looking forward to the distance.

“They've come, I hear the horse hoofs.”

"General Ye has arrived. ”

"d.a.m.n woman! Do not push! I'm falling!"

The girls excitedly pushed at the window, peering out to see, all of them wants to see the number one female General of Dai Qin.

The sound of horse hoof is getting closer, louder and louder.

In the front leading on is a two big bright yellow flags, one embroidered with a dragon totem, the other one with the “Dai Qin” character, and right behind are two black flags, one embroidered with the tiger totem, the other one with the "Ye" character, fluttering by the winds looking boundless grandeur.

Following behind are two prisoners cage carrying Man Jin Emperor and the Crown Prince, because of the cold weather and to not let body suffer, they still wore the same thick leather coat as before, just by the prisoner rules their face were smeared with many colorful painted words, over head there are lots of dry hay, making a shameful showing.

Man Jin for many years looted inside Dai Qin border, acc.u.mulating deep hatred, and now their enmity was finally avenged, the citizens claps and throws the stone.

Ye Zhao command the eight hundreds tiger wolf armor clad mounted soldiers. In orderly formation, each with a solemn expression, eyes facing the front, except the sound of sword hilt hitting the saddle no one else make a noise.

The girls looked towards the tiger wolf high ranking military officers, constantly twittering about, trying to guessed.

"Which one is Ye Zhao? Is it the one on the red horse? Looks like a general."

"Pei, are you blind? Ye Zhao is not a men how come there's such a long beard?"

"That fat person on the right?"

"Too ugly ba?"

While the population was still stirring, the tiger wolf squad quickly split to two sides, opening a small road. A tall white horse step forward, around the neck there is red ta.s.sels, the back draped with a silver saddle, sitting on the top is a tall lanky figure, wearing a silver lock animal beast metal armor, feathers ornament silver helmet, at the waist girdle carrying a heavy sword, straight back, each move was powerful. She quickly advanced to the front of the squad and took the lead, the remaining General horses took a slight step back, a look of reverence.

In that moment, there was no doubt.

This dragon phoenix amongst winner, exuberant manner is exactly the General Ye Zhao.

The crowd was silence for a moment, then the atmosphere turned fiercely loud.

The upstairs people see the crowd excitements hold out their ears. The weather was so overcast, they did not really make out the appearance of the general, the heart was getting impatient. There is one brave girl, silently untangled the ruyi knot at the waist and “accidentally” throws down at the road, coincidentally falls down besides Ye Zhao steed.

A horsewhip whistly soared, flexible like a snakes and wrapped the ruyi knot.

Ye Zhao holding the whip looked up towards the pavilion, at which point a ray of sunlight shone casually down the overcast sky through the falling snowflakes, stopping precisely on her face.

How to describes this face?

It is said that Duke of Zhenguo great ancestors have a part of foreigner bloodline, therefore Ye Zhao facial features are very distinct, all year round constantly moving during expedition, the skin was sun tan into a little deep wheat color with honey l.u.s.ter. Sharp eyebrows, eye color slightly lighter, resemble like a cold gla.s.s beads, revealing the chilly air, as if it can penetrates everything. Straight nose, thin lips purse up. Every gestures are like a real men, from head to toe cannot find one bit of femininity but rather like half of the Dai Qin young ladies dreamy husband images.

She flicked the long whip tail, toss a beautiful curved upward motion, quick like a falcon, the ruyi knots jumps over, streaked across the air, landing right into its owner bosom. The other female is somewhat embarra.s.sed, was about to bow down. But met with Ye Zhao's slight smile, making her whole person distracted.

How to describes this smile?

Like a spring grounds, ice dissolved by the sun, flowing down into small streams, beautiful scenery like painting. Approximately the other half of the Dai Qin young ladies dreamy husband images.

All the young ladies are staring at the general on white horse, wishing one could attack her.

The sound of horse hoof fades away, the aftertaste still lingering.

The originally nervous spectators finally relaxed, taking a sip of a tea, each whispering, women naturally would boast to the heaven of that husband like material, only hate that heaven has no eyes, to reversed the yin yang, this is life's misfortune. Other men except for the h.o.m.os.e.xual kind, all snorted disdainfully at Ye Zhao, and taking joy of others misfortune:

"Nanping Junw.a.n.g in life most hated the gay men, his body was simply too weak, Marquis Wu martial arts are said to be unparalleled, and looked so……so heroic, I'm afraid that husband and wife will not be harmonious."

“Ha, the two of them living together don’t know who is going to be pressed under.”

“I bet ten copper coin! Nanping Junw.a.n.g with that body, can only be push down. ”

“Anyone's gonna bet on General going under? Don't look at me, I will not do it, compensate me with hundreds also cannot. ”

“From now on, the number one shrew in the capital is no longer Xu furen?”

“You this group of gossipers, on such public occasion, what a filthy mouth, stop bullying people!”

“Little girl, don’t waste your breath, not to say your home selling pork, even if you are the honorable daughter of duke or marquis, people still not going to marry you.”

“Poor Nanping Junw.a.n.g ….”

“Who told him to be licentious in the past, retribution ah retribution.”

Imperial palace city wall, outside of the city gate, the Emperor himself to lead over hundreds of government officials to welcome.

Ye Zhao dismount from the horse to pay respect, offered up the captive prisoners and the spoils of war. Man Jin all year round to pillage outside countries, previously ma.s.sacred a small neighboring country and robbed many of their precious jewelry. Now, the imperial family was destroyed, most of it's states treasury have been brought back by Ye Zhao to the Dai Qin country. From longan to fist size emeralds, blood red sapphires, diamonds, also all kinds of pearls, coupled with numerous golds and silvers, jewelry crafted by skillful craftsmen from foreign countries, almost dazzling to everyone’s eyes.

Years of years of war have deprived the country states treasury, now this large amount of material is the fastest way to resolve the situation.

"Virtuous official ah virtuous official." the Emperor was so delighted to help support, almost to the point of touching her shoulder, at the side chief eunuch hastily cough heavily. At this time the Emperor remembered Ye Zhao gender, his arm immediately stopped, suddenly exaggeratedly praised: “General Ye Zhao in place of her father, to established a meritorious deeds, compared to previous Qin dynasty fairy maiden, General is even more impressive. ”

Ye Zhao responded: "Your majesty, not to confine this servant ability, such exceptional intelligence, broad mindedness, how can one be compared with ancient legendary lords"

The monarch and officials each return one’s other actions, mutually holding a few facade, lamented a few words about the martyr old General Ye, the spirit to sacrifices for the country, have always been admired by the Emperor and also publicly to sprinkle a few drops of tears. After that the decree is announced, bestowing the Great General with the military seal, dan iron book, the great black iron whip, to marry Nanping Junw.a.n.g and so on…

Ye Zhao thanked the emperor favor, on surface cannot see the joy or anger.

The emperor read on the Nanping Junw.a.n.g that useless person, afraid the great hero to feel discontent then make a few words to comfort: "Beloved official, the Empress Dowager thought that General always rushing out of the country for so many years, even if the status is special, but cannot sever from worldly affairs, nor is the Dai Qin n.o.ble ancestors sake to be lonely for a lifetime, should not delay your life experience. Unfortunately the selection for royal family clan are done, the appropriate age ones already married, cannot let the no good fifteen-sixteen years old to match with you, so only the Nanping Junw.a.n.g in family status and age are suitable. Although his temper was absurd, he still have some merit, his looks are good, also, also……" he hesitates for a moment, cannot think of anything else then sum up, " Anyway his appearance is still pretty to look at, are you willing?"

Ye Zhao: “Willing.”

The emperor relieved, order Ye Zhao to go back to prepare for wedding. Also bestow the Nanping Junw.a.n.g manor to prepare thoroughly, in another two months to welcome the bride. After Ye Zhao left, the left guard commander arrived, gritted teeth and ordered: "Send more people to take care of Xia Yujin, that scoundrel dares to do anything, tell him if he escape at once the whole family will be found guilty, any troubles come back to report. Or else……if Empress Dowager blames, you will marry the general!"

Left guard commander complexion changed, after returned to hastily dispatched people in three layers outside in addition to three layers more encircled the An w.a.n.g manor making it impenetrable, also personally take guards day in and day out and never leave, so hard working making the whole person thin out, this matter to leave aside not to show.

Xia Yujin after falling into the lake kept pretending to be sick lying on the bed, heard the grievous news, hatefully holds the pillow and bite.
