Q11 Chapter 10
Chapter 10 Just Started

In December, within the boundaries of Western Shang Shen, the citizens were still in disarray. The Chishui wind rose, the wolves of heaven were desolate and large amounts of gold spread through the earth.

It took place on the 20th, while the unrest intensified. Tens of thousands of Shang Shen's people got caught up in the chaos of war. Shang Shen had a particular geographical position, settled down in the Western fief of the Bathu clan and the North of the jurisdiction of King of Yan.The year those two sides were in peace, the famine reciprocally shrunk. At that time, to control Zhen Huang Imperial Capital , the Bathu Clan and the King of Yan sent out elite troops to restrain the rebellion together, but just on paper. They were just putting on airs. Victims of the riots were not brought relief, on the contrary, the problems became more and more intense. Official Xuehua delivered urgent news to the imperial capital, to solicit an assistance. Requesting for Zhen Huang to dispatch troops in order to put down the rebellion.

On December 27, the Xing Army currently worn out. Zhao Ming returned to his native land for the purpose of living in seclusion. Qin Tiangong wished to formally declare publically: they were in too much of a rush, Chishui contained ice and the Xing Army was used up, it was very ominous.

The Seven big powerful clans debated, on the same night, that they would dispatch the Huang Tian Troops toward Shang Shen to quell the Northwest Rebellion.

Later, the order was issued to Sheng Jin Gong. The Emperor read the issue and approved it.

At once, in Zhen Huang Imperial Capital, there was a major confusion about the rising news. Every major family grew anxious, their hearts turning ink black as the night. The undercurrents of the city surged like rapids deep under the ice.

During that time, Chu Qiao was at the North Pavilion within the thick dry patches of grass, carefully searching for the Soosan snake's hole in the winter. Hearing the sound of a deep horn, she slowly stood up straight. Her eyes slightly narrowing, looking towards the South of Huang.That place was where Sheng Jin Gong resided.

The gathering of darkness was dense so it was difficult to walk on the night road.

The next afternoon, the heavy snow was cleared. Under the glazed tile of Qingshan hall, two lovely snow dogs sat on the snow dazzling under the fair, bright morning sun. Just last night the snow accumulated more than a foot thick. The servants who cleaned around the snow dogs, preserved the correct attitude and didn't turn their head to look at the animals, because they feared that looking at them twice would get them into trouble.

They were covered with embroidery from head to toe. Wearing sable clips, pink flowered skirt, delicate rosy silk ribbon tied at the waist, they stood on top of the white snow looking elegant and glamorous. A little girl appeared, she attended to the 4th young master all day long. 13 years old, with a thin waist and was beautiful enough to eat. When the girl followed the lords she was normally meek but now she was somewhat arrogant. Her tone icy, having an aversion to the flimsy clothes that clung to the children, " Watch them closely and keep them clean. The young master said these jade dogs musted stay impeccable. So long as you understand this, you better not let an ounce of filth on them. You despicable servants today can contribute to the 4th young master, don't be lazy. If I come back later to see a speck of dirt on the silk, you all will be thrown into the Pavilion lake to feed the crocodiles."

The children nodded at that and shrunk away to comply. Jin Si simply sneered before turning away to walk towards the warm greenhouse.

Even when the snow was done falling, the weather continued to get colder . Even using ferrets as heaters wasn't useful. Not to mention the children were only wearing thin shirts while they were out in the snow. The child's lips were frozen black.
