Shu built the capital, and the Luo family rebuilt. The people of Shuzhong, who had lived for 19 years in the cracks, finally raised their eyebrows. Luo Nianzhi, the new master, has a reputation in Shu.

The palace was the former residence of Luo Jing, which was burned down and abandoned for 19 years, until Feng Xiao entered Shu and renovated it, as if the scenery of the King of Shu was alive again.

"Your Majesty, I received the news from the spies on the side of Beizhao, the fourth princess Qin Luo has come to the south to take command, the king of Changping County and the Nie guards have returned to Jinling, and the martial king Qin Zhen has been in Xijing, firstly, because the prince is young and needs him to supervise the government, and secondly, it seems that Princess Wu is about to give birth."

Zhou Xiangxiang, who was in the next room, heard the voice and ran out in shock: "What did you say?" My sister is going to give birth? ”

The guard who reported only looked at Feng Xiao and didn't dare to respond. At this time, Feng Xiao's brows were furrowed, and his face was cold.

He waved his hand to signal the person to step back, and slowly turned to Zhou Xiangxiang, and sneered: "What? The county lord was so happy to hear that Princess Changning was happy? ”

Zhou Xiangxiang raised her head and said, "I'm going to be an aunt, of course I'm happy." Then he said tentatively: "You see that it is useless for me to stay with you, why don't you let me go?" ”

Feng Xiao smiled: "Leave to find your eldest sister?" ”

Zhou Xiangxiang pursed her lips and was silent.

Feng Xiao stood up, walked in front of her, and clamped her jaw with one hand: "Xiangxiang, your brother-in-law and I are incompatible, do you think I will let you defect to them?" ”

Zhou Xiangxiang looked at him coldly.

Feng Xiao let go of his hand, smiled again, and said like a warm breeze: "It's not safe to go out of Shuzhong now, you go to Xijing by a girl, I don't worry, don't I treat you well?" Wouldn't it be nice to stay here in peace? ”

His tone was so gentle, Zhou Xiangxiang looked at the handsome and beautiful face, and suddenly felt a little stunned. His gentle words seemed to be speaking to her, but not to someone else.

Feng Xiao didn't look at her again, and said loudly: "Someone!" ”

A guard hurriedly walked in outside: "Your Majesty, what do you order?" ”

Feng Xiao said: "Call General Luo!" ”

Zhou Xiangxiang was told by him to retreat, and half an hour later, a man appeared in the room, it was Feng Xiao's cousin, Luo Yunfei, who had been dormant in Shu for many years, and now the general of Shu.

Feng Xiao asked, "Cousin, how are the checkpoint organs in Shuzhong arranged?" ”

Luo Yunfei said: "It's almost the same, our Shuzhong is already in a dangerous terrain, plus these organs, if the army outside wants to come in, it is nothing more than asking for a dead end." ”

Feng Xiao nodded with satisfaction: "You took 20,000 elite soldiers to attack the southern camp of Western Qin, and released the news that it was an army of 100,000. When the opportunity arises, there is no need to force it, if the situation is not right, withdraw the troops immediately. ”

Luo Yunfei looked at him puzzled.

Feng Xiao said with a smile: "I want to lure Qin Zhen to the southern realm, and then gather all the spies in Xijing to go to his Martial King's Mansion to draw salaries." ”

Luo Yunfei didn't understand what he wanted, but this little cousin unified the two countries, he was extraordinary, and he had plans for whatever he wanted.

When Luo Yunfei withdrew, Feng Xiao said to herself and smiled: "Qingqing, you disappointed me too much, since I can't get it, then I might as well destroy you." Qin Zhen values you so much, this blow must be extraordinary to him. ”

……

Xijing Wu Wangfu.

Qin Zhen hurriedly returned to the mansion from the imperial court, came directly to his and Zhou Qingqing's courtyard, found the sleepy person, and said with a stern face: "Qingqing, I want to go to the south immediately." ”

Zhou Qingqing asked, "What happened?" ”

Qin Zhen said: "Feng Xiao sent 100,000 troops to the southern border, I have to go and see the situation." ”

From Xijing to the southern camp, you can arrive in two days.

Although Zhou Qingqing was about to give birth, he knew that at the moment of the national crisis, it was just a trivial matter for his woman to give birth to a child, so he nodded again and again: "Then you go quickly, I will wait for you to come back at home." ”

Qin Zhen saw that she was already in labor, but she didn't hesitate at all, her eyes were a little red: "The doctor said, you will give birth in ten days at most." I'm still away from home at this time, and if I don't come back when you are alive, do you blame me? ”

Zhou Qingqing sneered, grabbed his hand and put it on his belly, which was as big as a ball: "What do you blame for?" If you don't come back when I'm born, I'll wait for you to come back with the little doll. ”

Qin Zhen nodded, bent over and kissed him on the belly: "Child, be good, don't let your mother suffer, your father will return triumphantly soon!" ”

Qin Zhen left Xijing overnight.

Originally, when he left, Zhou Qingqing didn't feel anything. But when she was the only hostess left in the palace, and even Nie Jin, who gave her the most peace of mind, was gone, she suddenly felt a little uneasy for no reason.

She attributed her uneasiness to the imminent delivery of labor.

On Qin Zhen's second night, Zhou Qingqing slept very unsteadily, until a sudden crackling sound came. Mizhu Miyu hurriedly ran in: "Princess, an assassin has come in!" ”

The two of them were followed by three nursing homes to protect Zhou Qingqing's safety.

Zhou Qingqing was shocked and got up from the bed awkwardly: "What's the matter?" ”

Mi Zhu gasped and said: "There are more than a dozen assassins who have created it, all of them are strong in martial arts, and the courtyard has fought with them, and they were originally going to go out to find rescuers, but they set up mechanisms outside the wall, and the doors were also sealed, so they couldn't get out at all." ”

Zhou Qingqing held his stomach and frowned in thought: "These assassins must be the spies that Feng Xiao planted in Northern Zhao, knowing that Wang Ye and Nie Jin were not in the mansion, they chose to assassinate me at night." ”

Mizhu said: "Then what now?" ”

Zhou Qingqing said: "Since we can't go out to move the rescue troops now, we have to find a way to let the patrolmen of the imperial city know that something happened to the Wuwang Mansion." She waved her hand, "Hurry up and set fire to the two houses in the east courtyard of the mansion, as long as the fire is ignited, it will surely alarm the soldiers of the night governor, and when they get closer, they will hear the movement in the mansion." ”

Mi Yu nodded hurriedly: "I'll go now." ”

Zhou Ranran also heard the movement and ran in in fright: "Eldest sister, what's the matter?" ”

Zhou Qingqing said: "There are assassins in the house, don't run around, just stay here." ”

Zhou Ranran was so frightened that she hid behind her back.

Zhou Qingqing was speechless.

The fire in the eastern courtyard was soon ignited, and the night sky was reflected in a patch of red. But Yi Qiē didn't think so smoothly, although the palace was extraordinary, but these spies were all unpredictable.

Zhou Qingqing's courtyard, after breaking into two assassins in succession, was killed by the courtyard, but it obviously became unsafe. And that's what those assassins were targeting.

"Princess, I think we'd better find a place to hide."

Zhou Qingqing nodded, surrounded by several nursing homes, with a big belly, and slowly walked towards the outside of the courtyard by the light of the fire in the distance.

There is a rockery in the palace, and there is a small cave in the rockery. The nurse escorted the two sisters to the rockery.

The cave was very small, and it could hide two people, and the three courtyards had to lurk not far away, Zhou Qingqing leaned against the stone wall, panting for breath.

Zhou Ranran trembled with fright: "Eldest sister, I'm afraid!" ”

Zhou Qingqing sighed: "No matter how scared you are, don't make a sound, you must wait until the rescuers come." ”

However, the rescuers did not come, but three black-clothed assassins soon appeared around the rockery, lurking in the courtyard not far away, not daring to let people approach the rockery, and as soon as the three appeared, they jumped up.

The three soon became entangled.

Under the night, the sound of swords clashing was piercing and heart-scratching, Zhou Qingqing held his breath and looked out from the darkness, not daring to move at all. At this time, a dull pain began to feel in my abdomen, and something seemed to be flowing out of my body.

The first three-on-three fight outside, and the winner was quickly decided. Two Assassins were killed in the three courtyards, and one wounded Assassin remained, standing in place.

Zhou Ranran, who was standing behind Zhou Qingqing at this time, recovered from the fear and panic just now, and looked at Zhou Qingqing with a big belly in front of him in the dark.

A bad thought suddenly came to my mind: if my sister died, would I be able to live in this palace forever and take her place?

Almost at the moment when this thought appeared, she had already reached out and pushed Zhou Qingqing out, and she retreated backwards.

Because the cave was very small, Zhou Qingqing didn't fall, but stumbled and let out a soft snort involuntarily.

At this time, my stomach is getting more and more painful.

Her brain rumbled, as if she didn't react to what had just happened, and only stared blankly at the outside of the cave, where the assassin with the sword had already heard the sound and walked quickly.

She didn't care to ask Zhou Ranran behind her why, because there was no point at this time.

She stood motionless at the entrance of the cave, endured the sharp pain in her abdomen, reached out and rubbed her waist, she had just escaped in a hurry, and she didn't even wear the dagger. She had to put her hand on the wolf tooth on her chest and pull it out with force.

The assassin was wounded, and every step was cautious, until he reached the entrance of the cave, and a sword stabbed inward, and while Zhou Qingqing could dodge, his body moved outward, and the wolf tooth in his hand stabbed at the man's throat.

The man's sword could no longer be lifted, and fell to the ground with a clatter.

Zhou Qingqing saw that the man fell back silently, and he was also spread on the ground.

Under the light of the fire, Zhou Qingqing, who was inhaling the cold air, saw Shen Chang'an, who was running in a hurry not far away.

She burst into tears of joy.

"Big sister! I didn't mean to, I just freaked out! Zhou Ranran's voice came cautiously from behind, as if he was suddenly surprised.

Zhou Qingqing shouted: "Shut up! Zhou Ranran, don't think I don't know. But I didn't expect you to want to kill me. ”

Zhou Ranran cried unwillingly: "The one you have now was originally mine, and it was you who came to Xijing instead of me and snatched what should have belonged to me!" I'm supposed to be the martial princess here. ”

Zhou Qingqing couldn't even cry: "Zhou Ranran, do you still have a conscience?" Who was the person who was looking for death and couldn't live and kiss in the first place? Who was the person I took the initiative to come to be happy with my relatives? I tell you the truth, even if you came to make peace with your family, you wouldn't be happy! ”

"You're talking nonsense, it's clear that you robbed me of something!" She screamed even louder.

"Brother and sister, how are you?" Shen Changan ran over and helped Zhou Qingqing up.

Zhou Qingqing gasped and said, "Senior brother, why are you here?" ”

Shen Changan said: "I saw a fire in the palace, and when I thought that Qin Zhen was not there, I was afraid that something big would happen, so I hurried over." Rest assured, the patrol has arrived in the palace and is looking for the Assassin. ”

Zhou Qingqing nodded, panting and said, "I'm just afraid that I'm going to give birth!"

Shen Changan picked her up: "You bear with me, I'll take Li back to the house immediately and call Wen Po over." ”

"Big sister...... The eldest sister ...... "Seeing Zhou Qingqing being taken away, Zhou Ranran, who stayed in place, was confused.
