Qi Ji instinctively took a few steps back, stood timidly behind Liu Bang, and grabbed Liu Bang's arm tightly with her soft and boneless little hands.

"Qi Ji, now that you have a big belly and are unable to move, you still have to follow the prince. You don't want to drag down the dead prince, do you? ”

Of course, Lu Pheasant didn't want to take Qi Ji into trouble, but she wouldn't watch the other party enjoy the fruits of her labor in exchange for her life when she sacrificed herself, and turn around and wait for an opportunity to step on herself a few times.

"I ...... The prince ...... "Qi Ji used coquettishness again*, but this time it didn't work.

Liu Bang tilted his head to the side, his eyes looking at the ground, and his thick eyelashes covered the true love in his eyes. For the first time, he felt a little bored with the warm fragrant nephrite in front of him. Sure enough, it's still a wife with knotted hair. Although he usually has a hard temper, he always puts his own safety first at critical moments.

Qi Ji is not stupid. If she was really stupid, it would be impossible for Liu Bang to pamper her for so long. After seeing Liu Bang's attitude clearly, she immediately changed her words and changed her coquettish to say goodbye.

"Lord, the concubine and the child are reluctant to you, but we must not drag you down. My sister and I will lead away the pursuers, please take care! Qi Ji said, hugged Liu Bang deeply, lingered in his arms for a while, and then walked back to the carriage where Lu Pheasant was sitting step by step.

"Aiji, I'll remember you." Liu Bang looked at Qi Ji's back affectionately.

Lu Pheasant was too lazy to look at the two people's cozy children's affection, so he took the two children by the hand and got into the carriage, settled them in the inner position, and then went to get the three hundred soldiers.

Liu Bang was dragged down by his family, and he didn't even want his own carriage, so he rode a fast horse and galloped all the way.

Lu Pheasant took the old man, the child, and Qi Ji to drive the carriage along the valley in another direction.

"Father, you don't blame me, do you?"

As soon as Lu Pheasant said that he wanted to separate from Liu Bang and lead Chu Jun away, Liu Taigong immediately said that no matter what Lu Pheasant decides, he will follow her. That's unconditional trust! Lu Pheasant was about to be moved to cry! But letting the old man take this risk with him, Lu Pheasant was still a little guilty.

"Child, how much hardship you have suffered since you married into the old Liu family, I have seen it in my eyes! Only the old Liu family can't stand you, and you can't live without the old Liu family. It's a pity that I'm old, and no one listens to what I say, so I can only drag you down, or ......"

"Father, what do you say! You are still on an adventure with our mother and son at such an age, and I really ...... in my heart."

"Don't be uncomfortable, I know what's going on today. Even if I don't go with you, I'm afraid I won'...... You treat me like my own father to this old man, and there's nothing I can do for you. No matter what happens to Ji'er, I only recognize you as a daughter-in-law. ”

Ji'er is Liu Bang's nickname. If he really had filial piety to himself, he would not have abandoned himself in his hometown for so many years. If it weren't for Lu Pheasant, his old bones might have really become bones by now! Mrs. Liu knew as well as a mirror in her heart, so she followed Lu Pheasant wholeheartedly and treated her as her own daughter.

Liu Taigong and Lu Pheasant were talking here, and Qi Ji next to him couldn't listen to it. She dared to get into this carriage, firstly because Liu Bang didn't want to take her anymore, and secondly because she thought that Mrs. Liu was here, and the child in her belly was Mrs. Liu's grandson, and Mrs. Liu would definitely cover herself. After all, most people will think that their grandson is their own blood and blood, and their daughter-in-law is an outsider after all!

Who knew that the relationship between this Weng and his daughter-in-law was so good! Mrs. Liu actually said in front of himself that he only recognized Lu Pheasant, a daughter-in-law. What are you?

Thinking of the cold and eerie touch of Lu Pheasant holding the dagger on his arm, Qi Ji felt that it was not good, and he had to pull Taigong Liu over.

"Father, I am also your daughter-in-law! I still have your good grandson in my belly! Lang Zhong said, it's a boy......"

"You're not my daughter-in-law!" Qi Ji was close to opening her mouth, but was interrupted by Mrs. Liu.

"Father, I have been serving the prince for several years! It's your grandson in my belly! ”

"According to the rules of our old Liu family, the concubine must kowtow to the main room to make tea before passing the door. You haven't even passed the door, where can the belly be regarded as the seed of our old Liu family? ”

"The prince said I don't need such ......"

"No one can say it. Without this process, you can't be regarded as a member of our old Liu family. ”

"......" Qi Ji was about to cry. Mrs. Liu didn't recognize herself, and she didn't even recognize her own children. He used to point to him to protect himself, but he didn't give himself face more than anyone else!

"Father, why am I still here!" Qi Ji didn't give up and continued to sell pitiful.

"If you don't want to stay, no one wants to see you." Mrs. Liu reprimanded unceremoniously: "Even if Ji'er comes, I will say this." ”

Lu Pheasant knew that this was the old man supporting him, and he was moved in his heart. Whether in the past life or in this life, Liu Taigong has nothing to say to Lu Pheasant. Although he relies on himself in life, he also gives himself enough trust and support in other aspects. Especially in the previous life, when even Liu Bang didn't believe in himself, this kind of affection was even more valuable.

Qi Ji didn't dare to say anything more, and shrank in the corner of the carriage without saying a word.

The skin is really thick! Lu Pheasant secretly complained. If I had encountered this kind of thing, I would have been angry a long time ago, how could I still stay! However, Qi Ji did it. At this point, she and Liu Bang are quite right.

The Chu army has pursued them more fiercely in the past two days. That's why Liu Bang can't wait to get rid of them, the old and weak women and children. However, in Lu Pheasant's opinion, this should be the darkness before dawn.

They had been on the run for eight days, and judging from the journey, they should have reached the border of Xingyang. If they can avoid the pursuit of the Chu army in the past two days, they will be able to escape. Although the Chu army was fierce, it was impossible to occupy several states at once. Their forces do not allow it. The reason why Liu Bang was able to beat Liu Bang so wolf this time was mainly due to the surprise attack.

Lu Pheasant just knew in his heart, so he dared to take the initiative to ask for help, and he and Liu Bangbing divided into two ways to lead away the pursuers. However, the fierceness of the Chu army is not just talking. Although they fled with all their might, threw away all the baggage they could, and all of them took difficult paths, there were several hand-to-hand fights. Of the 300 soldiers Liu Bang gave them, more than 200 people had already been lost, and only a few dozen people remained. If they can't escape, they're really going to be caught.

Although according to the situation in their previous lives, even if they are caught by the Chu army, they may not necessarily have no way to live, maybe Xiang Yu will let them go like in their previous life! But Lu Pheasant doesn't want the children to suffer this either!

There were faint glimmers of fire or two ahead, probably a small village. On both sides, the mountains are steep, and the apes are singing and the cranes are chirping. At night, only the waning moon appeared on the top of the mountain.

Lu Pheasant: The food in their team has been eaten. Lu Pheasant called the general Fan Tong, and after discussing with him, he decided to go to the small village in front of him to quietly take a look. If there is a Chu army there, flee immediately after discovering it. If there was no Chu army, they quickly evacuated after supplying supplies and rested in the mountains and forests.

Fan Tong is Fan Xu's cousin, Fan Xu is his future brother-in-law and the general who was most loyal to his mother and son in his previous life. Although Fan Tong is not as brave as Fan Xu, he is still very powerful compared to ordinary generals. The most important thing is to be trusted. So when Liu Bang divided people for himself, Lu Pheasant directly asked Fan Tong.

Along the way, thanks to Fan Tong's support, they have repeatedly been in danger. Fan Tong said that he could go to that village, and Lu Pheasant believed him and decided to go and see it for himself.

settled Mrs. Liu and the children in a secret place halfway up the mountainside, leaving half of the people behind, and arranged for two soldiers to watch Qi Ji specifically to prevent her from doing anything.

Thankfully, they were cautious and walked through the shadows. When they got closer, they realized that there had just been a fierce battle in the village.

There was also a strong smell of blood wafting through the air. By the moonlight, Lu Pheasant and Fan Tong saw the bodies on the ground. They still did not reveal their whereabouts openly, but only quietly probed in the shadows to prevent any remaining personnel from discovering them.

"Ahem......"

"Ahem, ahem, ahem......"

A coughing sound came from somewhere, and Lu Pheasant and the others hid in the dark and did not move, quietly observing.

On a deserted well, a few old planks laid on the well platform were moved, and then they were lifted open. Two figures, one large and one small, climbed out of the well one after another.

The big figure looked around, stood still in front of a dead young man, and cried bitterly: "Qi'er, my Qi'er......"

"Taifu, Qi'er died on my behalf, and I feel unbearable guilt. I will definitely avenge him. The small figure stepped forward and comforted the human, who was called "Taifu". There was a choked sore in his tone.

"Emperor Yi, Qi'er and you grew up together, and it is his blessing to be able to suffer on your behalf this time, which is also what he is willing to do. Please don't feel guilty. It's just that the Xiang family has been loyal and good for generations, but I didn't expect that Xiang Yu, such an arrogant traitor, would dare to kill you! The old minister built yì to go to the king of Han. Now the only one who can help us is King Han. ”

"Will Liu Bang help us? Will he be the next Xiang Yu? The young man known as the "Emperor of Righteousness" hesitated.

"No, Emperor Yi. If it weren't for your support, Liu Bang would only be a small character who is not in the stream now, how can he become the king of Han? Besides, Liu Bang governs the world with benevolence and righteousness, how can he take revenge on you? "Taifu" confidently explained the "righteous emperor" way.

"That's good! Then let's go find him! The tone of "Emperor Yi" was obviously relaxed.
