Chu Jiangnan hesitated, glanced at his robe, and then reached out to take it, raised it casually, and put it on his body casually.

Still looking at the night sky ahead, quiet, as quiet as a flawless sculpture.

He didn't want to speak anymore, he followed him for a month at first, and after listening to what he said, it added up to less than ten sentences, and then Xiao Yuer figured out the right way by herself, and from time to time when she mentioned the girl, he would occasionally be willing to say two sentences.

If the girl doesn't come back, he'll be no different from a sculpture.

The prince said that the girl was fine, but when will the girl come back?

While they were meditating, under the city tower, spies hurried over.

When he came to Chu Jiangnan, he knelt down on one knee and said respectfully: "Lord Wang, the flying pigeon has a letter, Lord Xuan has taken Northern Liao tonight, and now the army has entered and is collecting soldiers overnight." ”

"How is the King of Northern Liao?" Chu Jiangnan still looked at the sky and never looked back at him.

The spy said: "The king of Northern Liao has fled with his belongings before the arrival of the prince of Xuan, and in the city of Northern Liao, General Mu, the general of the city guard, led the soldiers to take the initiative to go out of the city to greet him within half an hour of the arrival of the army of the prince of Xuan, and now, the city of Northern Liao is in the hands of the prince of Xuan. ”

Chu Jiangnan was silent, and after a while, he waved his hand.

The spies immediately retreated.

Chu Jiangnan's eyes were still reflected in the appearance of the stars, and his heart had already drifted farther away.

The ten countries have already subdued six countries, and the remaining four countries are afraid that they will be taken into his pocket in a short time.

The subjugation of the Ten Kingdoms was planned, but why did he go crazy this time and have to conquer the Ten Nations by force so blatantly? This has completely deviated from his original plan.

In this way, there will definitely be some deployment on his father's side, and in the future, he still wants to be his prince of Chu Guoxuan, I'm afraid it will not be easy.

Once the Ten Kingdoms were subdued by King Xuan, the King of Chu would definitely order him to hand over his military power, but he took great pains to take down the Ten Kingdoms, so naturally he would not hand over the Ten Kingdoms to the King of Chu.

In this way, the two sides are bound to oppose each other, and he can develop his power openly, but he really doesn't plan to return to the Chu clan in the future?

This time, he fought against the water, which was really too risky.

There are several big cities in the north of Chu State, plus ten countries, and the territory is larger than any of the five countries, but it is always not comparable to the power of Chu State, plus in the early days of the establishment of the new country, the people are uncertain, and the army is mostly a foreign team that has been incorporated back, and the morale will never be good.

Why did the Fourth Emperor Brother ignore a single qi qi and use such a drastic method to build up a new force that qi himself? What did he really want to do?

Under the canopy, the cold wind is still blowing, and the questions hidden in my heart have never been answered.

This time, even he couldn't see clearly.

……

As soon as Chinese New Year's Eve passes, the new year arrives immediately.

After the beginning of spring, the weather is obviously warmer, although it is still cold, but it is no longer the kind of cold and biting, but there is a trace of warmth in the cold.

After the signs of morning sickness lasted for half a month, Qiqi's appetite finally improved completely, and now it is not what to eat and vomit, but to want to eat everything when he sees it.

The man around him has also changed from a noble son who barely understands the affairs of the dining room, and after more than half a month of training, he has completely become a master chef.

It's really hard for a little woman to raise, in the past half a month, what I ate every day can't be repeated, I ate sweet and sour fish at noon today, and if I eat it again in the afternoon, I will definitely vomit so much that even the bile will come out.

I ate braised pork ribs in the afternoon, and if I eat pork ribs tomorrow morning, I will definitely vomit all of last night's meal.

Picky, Mu Chu was about to be unable to bear it.

But what can be eaten, chickens, ducks, fish, shrimp, which one has already been eaten? There is not much food in winter, if it were not for the coastal waters, where would there be so many kinds of food?

Fortunately, the early pregnancy reaction finally passed after half a month.

That day, Qiqi and Mu Chu got into the carriage again and went out, intending to buy some food, but they didn't expect that in less than half a month, they came to this street again, and the street was no longer lively in the past, and even became deserted.

Many businesses have closed their doors, not even doing business, near the Lantern Festival, should be a good business opportunity, but at least seven or eight out of ten shops are closed, some even have no doors, the inside is empty, obviously the shopkeeper has moved.

"Why don't there seem to be many people?" Walking on the street, although Qiqi can't see it, he can still feel the desertion on the street.

Mu Chu patted her on the shoulder, silently comforted, and finally found a grain store that was still open for business after walking for a while.

Not surprisingly, even the price of rice has increased several times.

"Where have all the people in the town gone?" Mu Chu couldn't help but ask when buying rice.

They have been living in a small village all this time, there are not many people in the village, and the flow of information is slow, plus they are outsiders, and they basically have never had any contact with other villagers, and they really don't know what happened to the town.

The owner of the rice shop glanced at him, then at the little lady beside him, and sighed: "You are from other places, right? Haven't you heard that the world has not been peaceful recently, and the army of Lord Xuan will attack here at any time?"

"Lord Xuan's army?" Mu Chu frowned, and subconsciously glanced at Qiqi.

Qiqi was just listening carefully to the boss, and there was not even the slightest strange look on his face.

He sighed silently, this girl really couldn't remember it at all, and she was completely unmoved when she heard the words "Xuan Wangye".

The owner of the rice shop looked at them and said helplessly: "It is the legendary fierce and cruel Xuan Wangye, among the ten countries, eight countries have been captured by him, leaving Xiliang and our Yun Kingdom, I am afraid that it will soon become a city of destruction." ”

Ten Nations ...... It has already been subdued by the eight countries.

Mu Chu's thick eyebrows frowned slightly, subduing the Ten Kingdoms was in Chu Xuanchi's plan, but if this matter was to be completely completed, in his plan, it would have to be at least half a year or even a year later, and he had never thought of using too drastic means, just to avoid conflict with the Chu State.

After all, the Ten Kingdoms have already bowed down to the State of Chu, and now that he is directly leading troops to occupy it, how can he explain to the King of Chu?

Or does he not intend to maintain a face-to-face relationship with the King of Chu at all? But he has always been the prince of the Chu State, doesn't he even want the identity of the Xuan Prince?

What was the man thinking?

"Ah Chu, who is Lord Xuan? Is it very powerful?" Qiqi beside him tugged at his sleeve and asked with a wink.

Mu Chu lowered his eyes and looked at her for a while before he lifted his thin lips and said softly: "It's very powerful, but ...... Bad character. ”

"Because it's too brutal?" she blinked, a hint of unease, "Then he goes into the city...... Will it slaughter the city?"

As soon as he heard the word "slaughtering the city", the owner of the rice shop suddenly became uneasy, and he wanted to move away for a long time, but the boss said that the roots were here, but he didn't want to leave.

They also kept enough food for their family for three years before they dared to sell the remaining grain.

When I think of the army pressing, I will always panic in my heart.

Mu Chu rubbed Qiqiyi's green silk, and listened to her say that the guy was cruel, and he was in a good mood.

His thin lips hooked slightly, and he reassured: "It's not like that." ”

Without further ado, after buying dozens of catties of rice and carrying dozens of catties of flour, he threw away the silver and left.

Finally bought some more grain and jerky, and they returned to the car and drove away.

Along the way, although Mu Chu drove with peace of mind, he was thinking about something.

Lord Xuan's army is about to enter the city, and they ...... At this time, he didn't plan to let Qiqi return to the man's side.

His side...... There are too many unknown dangers.

However, if you leave early, wait until the night of the full moon......

I couldn't help but look up at the sky, the sky was a little dim, and the moon had not yet come out in the afternoon.

There are only a few days left before the Lantern Festival, and perhaps, it will be too late to leave after a few days.

With herself by her side, Qiqi will not be harmed in any way, as long as the Lantern Festival can be spent safely......

……

In the blink of an eye, the Lantern Festival is really here.

On this day, Mu Chu learned to get a plate of wine-stuffed balls for Qiqi, although the taste was not very good, but at least it could still be eaten, and after Qiqi ate it, he quickly fell asleep.

After carrying the person to the bed and tucking the quilt for her, he breathed a sigh of relief and walked towards the door.

In the wine-brewed balls, he added a little sleep-aiding herb, which should allow her to sleep peacefully.

Outside the door, a bright moon hung high overhead, like the moonlight of water sprinkled down, the beautiful scenery was present, but the heart was cold little by little.

He turned and walked towards the courtyard, far from the dormitory, where there was a ruined cellar......

Qiqi was sleeping sweetly at this time.

The moonlight seeped in through the window, and one of the wisps fell on her, illuminating her face, which was still a little pale after all this period of recuperation, even fairer.

In my sleep, I always feel that someone is standing next to the bed, looking at me.

She was uneasy and wanted to open her eyes, but her eyes never opened, and when she struggled to the point of almost exhaustion, she suddenly remembered that even if she opened her eyes, she couldn't see clearly in front of her.

Who is the person at the bedside? so real, so compelling......

"Who are you?" she said, not knowing if her words had ever been spoken.

However, the visitor did not seem to respond, and he sat down on the edge of the bed, and she knew very well that he had helped himself up and sat her down in front of him.

She was conscious, but she couldn't open her eyes, and she was so weak that she couldn't even lift her fingers.

There's a problem with tonight's wine-brewed balls, Ah Chu...... Why did Ah Chu drug her and put her to sleep? And who is this person behind him now?

A man, but she doesn't feel his hostility, and even, she seems to be able to sense that he is kind to herself.

It's just that his breath is very cold, and there is an indescribable majesty in the coldness, which makes her fear him at the same time, and has a little inexplicable respect for him.
