In a distant time and space, the six countries of the eastern land stand side by side, from north to south, they are Shengge, Qiaojiang and Liangyu, Jiuqin and Xizhou, and the southernmost is the south. The six sides of the Pen, Qu, and Pavilion www.biquge.info have the same territorial strength and area, and the three northern kingdoms contain each other, although there are few wars, the westernmost Jiuqin has always been monopolistic, and the other five countries have no disputes and no dealings. Xizhou and Nanguo, which are located in the south, have been at war and strife since they were divided into two places by one country 50 years ago.

In the sixteenth year of Hongxuan in the south, there was a big war with Xizhou, which lasted for seven months, and it was the season of severe drought in the south and the five grains did not rise. The grain output could not meet the needs of the soldiers on the border, the fighting spirit and morale of the soldiers were greatly frustrated, the battles were defeated one after another, and the bad news that was reported back gradually increased, and the destruction of the southern country was in danger.

However, to the great puzzlement of King Hong Xuan and the civil and military officials, with the current strength and momentum of Xizhou, it is not impossible to enter the capital within half a month, but at the same time that the soldiers of the southern country were almost completely annihilated, the enemy stopped the horsepower in time and stopped the attack.

In less than five days, a minister of Xizhou with an envoy in his hand rode a fast horse and drove into the southern capital. It turned out that King Mingde of Xizhou put forward a condition, if King Hong Xuan promised to marry his sister Princess Qingwan to him as a relative, he would no longer send troops to attack, and make every effort to calm the border chaos and ensure the stability and tranquility of the southern country for a hundred years.

The reason for this has to start from five years ago. That year, in a battle between the two countries, Xizhou was defeated, and the Xizhou envoys sent to fight for peace had a relationship with Princess Qingwan, who was in her prime of life, in the palace of the southern kingdom, and was immediately amazed by the beauty of the princess. Since then, after going back, he will tell the princess of the south about the flower and moon appearance of King Mingde, Mingde listened to the itch in his heart, the beauty who has not been seen is more mouth-watering than the beauty standing in front of him, and he wants to wear it.

In the past five years, Xizhou has recuperated and revitalized. In order to launch a battle before the marriage age of the princess of the southern kingdom, and win a big victory, as an opportunity to make peace. Having said that, this is indeed the case today, and it is no different from what King Mingde thought and expected back then, not to mention, once the military camp that has suffered setbacks is encouraged by the king, it will accumulate more and more money, just to one day be able to snow the humiliation of the defeat of the year, revitalize the banner of the army, and live up to the king's favor.

In the first three years of Princess Qingwan's marriage, Xizhou Kingdom provided a large number of disaster relief materials to the south as a rest and recovery. The welcoming procession was led by the eldest son of King Mingde of Xizhou, and General Chu Xing, who led the entire Xizhou army at that time. I could have returned to Xizhou within a month, but when I arrived at the border between Xizhou and Nanguo, I suddenly encountered heavy snow and was trapped in the mountains. As a result, the mighty procession of welcoming relatives stopped in the temple on the mountain for several days before moving forward again.

Just when the economy of the southern country was recovering and all industries were waiting to be developed, King Hong Xuan heard that Qingwan gave birth to a son in Xizhou, the eighth son of King Mingde, King Longyan Dayue of Mingde, named Qingwan as Luo Guifei, and his son was Prince Yehun.

In the nineteenth year of Hongxuan, Xizhou raised troops to the south, which lasted four months and nine days, and finally hanged King Hongxuan in Nanxi, the land of water in the south, and destroyed the south in one fell swoop. At that time, it was the twenty-fifth year of Mingde.

In the twenty-sixth year of Mingde, Xizhou unified the south, and the territory expanded twice as much as before. Since then, Xizhou, Shengge, Liangyu, Jiuqin and Qiaojiang have been called the five major countries in the East.

At the beginning of the Battle of Nanxi, Princess Qingwan tried her best to persuade King Mingde, begging him not to march into the southern kingdom for the sake of the relationship between husband and wife. But Mingde was bent on fighting, and he couldn't listen to half a word, and destroying the southern kingdom has always been his greatest desire, and it is also the greatest wish of his former father. At the beginning, the southern kingdom was split from Xizhou, and there was already a loss, and decades have passed, and the southern kingdom is becoming stronger and stronger, which is really a trouble for King Mingde. Nowadays, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, regardless of the time and place, or personnel operation, is the best time for Xizhou to raise troops to the south.

Qingwan understood that she could not move the king, so she made a final request: to leave the life of her eldest brother King Hong Xuan and save his family. When King Mingde personally went to the war, at the gate of Loucheng, in the face of Princess Qingwan's tears, he swore to heaven that he would not hurt the lives of her eldest brother and her family. When Mingde led the most elite group of men and horses out of the capital, Princess Qingwan was overwhelmed by exhaustion, and even fainted under the high city gate.

The southern capital was lost, and the fire burned the palace for seven days and seven nights, the fire burned the entire sky red, and black smoke filled the entire capital. King Hongxuan fled from the capital with the queen and arrived at Nanxi, but he never thought that the enemy army had been waiting here for a long time. In a hurry, King Hong Xuan ordered his father-in-law Liu Yuan to escort Queen Qiuci, who was pregnant with Liujia, and the only nurse beside him to evacuate Nanxi as soon as possible, and he himself diverted the enemy's attention.

Finally, beside the Nanxi River, the enemy captured King Hongxuan, who was about to commit suicide by throwing himself into the river, and escorted him to the Mingde camp. Within a few days, the news of King Hong Xuan's suicide came from the market, and everyone didn't know whether he committed suicide or was killed, whether he was really dead or fake.

At the same time, Queen Qiuci, under the care of the nurse and Liu Yuan, galloped north in a bumpy carriage. Xizhou is in the northeast direction of the southern country, and the northwest direction of the southern country is Jiuqin, after Jiuqin, and then to the north, through the narrow Qiaojiang, you can directly reach the strong national song. As soon as they arrived at Shengge, the safety of the three of them was assured.

The fatigue of the boat and car for several days made Queen Qiuci's body extremely weak, and she saw that she was about to give birth, but she was on the bumpy car day and night, and it was really not suitable for childbirth. In order to reach Shengge as soon as possible, the nurse spent almost all her entanglements to hire the best horses and chariots, with Liu Yuan as the coachman and herself taking care of Queen Qiuci in the chariot.

It had been half a month since they left the southern country, and at this time, they did not know where the carriage had gone. In short, it is getting closer and closer to Sheng Ge, but fortunately, there is no enemy behind him to chase and kill, which is the greatest luck.

That night, the moon was bright and the stars were scarce, and the night in the wild was extremely quiet, without the slightest sound of wind, only the one or two insects that turned in the distance and quietly. After Queen Qiuci fell asleep, the nurse came outside the carriage and saw Liu Yuan sitting on the ground, dozing off against the wheels of the carriage, so she brought a thin blanket to cover her, and she sat next to her and looked at the night in a daze.

Liu Yuan was awakened, rubbed his sleepy eyes, and after seeing the nurse next to him clearly, he asked, "You don't take care of the queen inside, what are you doing here?" The queen has been sleeping hard lately, so you should be careful. ”

The nurse sighed, her tired face was calm, there was no wave, and she said for a long time: "I'm afraid I'm about to give birth......"

"Ah, what then? Although it is getting farther and farther away from the south now, there is still a certain way to go from Shengge, but I am afraid that ......"

"Liu Yuan," the nurse interrupted him, "why do we have to go to Shengge?" As long as you don't go to Xizhou, it's okay to settle down in Jiuqin first, and you can wait until Queen Qiuci gives birth before making another plan. Or, you can stay in ...... altogether."

"No way!" Liu Yuan immediately vetoed, "The king has ordered, let me definitely bring you to Shengge, not anywhere else." ”

"I know what the king means, but now the queen's body can't be delayed, and the bloodline of the Luo family can't be delayed! Have you thought about it, in case something goes wrong on the way, we ...... How can we be worthy of the king and Queen Qiuci, and how can we be worthy of the Locke family, which has been shattered? This kid ...... More important than our lives! Speaking of this, the nurse was sad and couldn't help but burst into tears.

Liu Yuan's words were blocked in his throat, he sighed heavily, lowered his head, wiped his tears, and said: "I don't know what you said, I have no children and no daughters in my life, and my relatives in my hometown also died a few years ago, if you want to say that the closest is our king!" But now it's life and death...... I don't know yet, the queen treats me well on weekdays, if it weren't for them, I'm afraid I would have died under the knife of the enemy army in Xizhou. And now, I can't do anything, not even Queen Qiuci......"

Liu Yuansheng burst into tears, and when it came to emotion, he cried more than the nurse. After a while, the nurse wiped away her tears and asked Liu Yuan: "You say, why does the king want us to go to Shengge?" ”

Liu Yuan wiped his cheeks with his dirty sleeves, twitched his nose, and said, "I'm afraid that Sheng Ge is far away from Xizhou, so it's safer." ”

The nurse shook her head, "I'm afraid not. ”

Liu Yuan looked at her and asked, "Why did my aunt say this?" ”

The nurse leaned back to the carriage and said lightly: "If you want to talk about the distance, Sheng Ge is certainly the farthest away from Xizhou, but the road is also the most bumpy and dangerous, and the queen is pregnant, how can the king not care about the safety of his child?" If you want to say the most likely, it is ......"

Before they could finish speaking, they heard a "whoosh", and before they could blink, they saw a sharp arrow shot at the stake of the carriage, only an inch away from the window.
