In this chapter, there may be some minor word corrections in the back......

------Off topic------

The crowd looked at him in amazement, as the man they regarded as a god's house chased the carriage frantically, screaming to the sky, and then fell from the galloping horse, and his mournful voice echoed through the docks, desolate and empty, and lingering for a long time.

"Ah Qi...... You're back! Come back! ”

"The earth will separate us, and I will tread through it!"

"If the heavens want to destroy my feelings, I will destroy the heavens!"

"I want the stars to change my life for me, and I want to turn time and space back for me."

"I will take this country to marry you, and take this Kyushu to marry you!"

"You wait for me."

He was shouting, but she couldn't hear him. He knew she couldn't hear, but he had to let her hear. If he didn't have her, even if he owned the world, what was the point? He jerked his head up, as if in a frenzy, rolled over his horse and chased after him. A kind of despair of losing a loved one came like a tidal wave, beating on his heart. He wanted to hold on to her and hold her, like the last driftwood before drowning, and this obsession became his vitality before sinking into the darkness.

"Ah Qi! You come back. ”

"Ah Qi!"

Suddenly, the corners of his mouth quivered and he smiled. Laughing and bending his resolute body, an almost poignant voice burst out from his lips as he bent over, like the mournful cry of a beast before it was dying, and like a sharp arrow tearing through the dark sky.

"Losing me now, and forever."

"Wait for me in a few months, think about ......"

“…… There is no fate. ”

"It's fate."

The black-painted carriage faded away, and the dim light of the torch slowly shrank into a black spot. Zhao Zhu was wearing black armor, lacquered like ink, and his sharp eyebrows and eyes were full of pain. He stood still for a long time. He didn't know why he didn't have the strength to stop her from leaving, he just looked at the carriage that was moving away, his mind was "buzzing", and Ah Qi's words when he left also lingered in his ears.

"So......" Xia Chuqi sighed and stroked the palms of his lower abdomen, already drenched in sweat, "You will lose me now." And forever. ”

"What if, I say no?" Zhao Zhu's eyes were red, and he looked at her with burning eyes.

"But don't worry, I'm not a merciless person." Xia Chuqi saw him like this, his heart was like a knife, and he finally softened his voice, "You didn't do anything wrong, and I didn't do anything wrong, it's the fault that God didn't arrange the fate of this life for us." Zhao Nineteen, let me think about it for a few months. I'll come to you when I've thought it through. And you, don't forget to promise me, pick up your sword, be a man who stands up to the sky, and don't disappoint hundreds of thousands of eyes looking at you. ”

"Yes." She swallowed, not daring to look him in the eye.

"That's what you're talking about?"

Looking at her smile in a daze, Zhao Zhu spoke up for a long time.

"Zhao Nineteen, I think you understand, we are not people of the same world." She said, "Master Daochang's words, you know, I understand, it is not a lie to deceive the world, but the real truth." We can't be together, it's fate. You can't escape, and I can't escape. Besides......" Eyewind glanced at Amur, and she pulled out an extremely bitter smile, "I don't want to lower my standards and trample on my bottom line for you." ”

She has thousands of reasons to deceive him and stimulate him to let go, but she knows that he is Zhao Nineteen, the wise and black-bellied Zhao Nineteen, he has always been the only one who calculates people, where can he be calculated by others. Without a reason to convince him, it would be difficult for her to leave.

It's not that you don't love, it's not that you don't want to love, it's that you love too much.

Looking at his sad face, Xia Chuqi's throat was like a ball of cotton.

He said a thousand, said ten thousand, and he didn't believe those words.

"Ah Qi!" Zhao Zhu's face was cold, and every word was extremely blunt, "I just want to know the real reason." ”

"Okay, what's this doing? I've said all that I need to say, what else do you want to hear? ”

This time secretly went to Si County to rob grain, it was a secret operation, but the southern army is not all fools, the people who receive the grain have not waited for a long time at Lingbi Wharf, so they will naturally be alert, Xia Chuqi does not want to delay time, which attracted the encirclement and suppression of the southern army, seeing that Zhao Zhu is still there, Dongfang Qingxuan does not give the order to leave, and he can't help but be a little irritable.

In the deathly silence, Zhao Bottle did not move, but the big bird seemed to feel something, and suddenly scraped his front hooves uneasily. Xia Chuqi was stunned, she knew that the big bird was a spiritual animal, and every time there was danger, it often knew it before them.

Torches flickered on the pier, and the crowd grew closer and closer, but there was no sound.

She didn't want to stay any longer, and if she stayed any longer, she was afraid that she would not be able to bear it. That embrace was too gentle, that shoulder was too tempting, so that she didn't want to lean over all the time, so that she would not be displaced, that she would not be tired of being pregnant alone, and that she would not be haunted by nightmares in the dead of night......

After saying that, she turned her head and urged, "Qingxuan, let's go, I'm hungry." ”

"His Royal Highness King Jin!" Xia Chuqi seemed to be impatient, interrupted him, and smiled lightly, "There is one more piece of advice." Men will shine brightly because of power, and because of supreme power, they will be liked by women and get their loyalty. You, do it yourself. ”

Zhao Zhu's face was gloomy, and he said with difficulty, "Ah Qi, as long as you come back......"

"It doesn't matter if it's right or no." Xia Chuqi's eyes swept him up and down coldly, and the corners of his lips curled slightly, as if he was disdainful and mocking, "And I said you, as the commander of the Jin army, you are involved in the life and death of hundreds of thousands of people, who is you doing this to show yourself?" Let everyone hate me? His Royal Highness King Jin, you probably really don't understand a woman's mind. In a woman's heart, a man has to be like a man. They worship heroes and powerful men, not the kind of cowards who only get drunk and dream of death, and they are not depressed and decadent men for the sake of trivial things. This kind of man has always only made women look down on him. ”

"Ah Qi!" His heart twitched painfully, "In my heart, you are." ”

"You're wrong! Where is the one-day husband and wife hundred days? Zhao Zhu, I have never been your wife. ”

The night breeze was blowing, and Zhao Zhu looked at her in contemplation, full of hope. But in the end, she smiled lightly, but gave him an extremely indifferent mockery.

Looking at his face struggling to hold back his emotions, Xia Chuqi hesitated for a long time.

Bao Yin. Two words hit my heart hard.

"Ah Qi!" Zhao Jun looked at Dongfang Qingxuan's looming face in the carriage, and his tone became a little colder, "One day husband and wife Bairien, why did you bother to say such heartless words?" Even if you don't miss my love, can't you read it for the sake of Baoyin and give me a chance? ”

As if hearing a great joke, Xia Chuqi was stunned, laughed out loud, and then pointed to Yang Xuewu and Rufeng who were standing on the side, "His Royal Highness King Jin, are you clumsy?" Don't you see that you are not robbing the military rations of the Southern Army, but me and Qingxuan. Oh, if you hadn't come out halfway, we would have made a lot of money. Forget it, anyway, the money comes and goes, that's it. The rations are yours. In the future, if you become an emperor, don't embarrass us. ”

Sighing, he asked, "Then let me ask you, didn't you come to Lingbi and rob the Southern officer's food for me?" ”

Zhao Zhu's gaze seemed to take root and fixed on her face. Looking at her, who had not seen her for months but had become a little afraid to recognize her, there was a helplessness in her mind. I can't say why, at this time, she seems to have deliberately built a thick wall between them, cutting off their past and emotions, as if those intimate past events had never existed.

"That's all that needs to be said." Xia Chuqi smiled faintly, as if he thought of something, turned his head again, and smiled mockingly at Zhao Zhu, "His Royal Highness King Jin, Lingbi is only a few steps away from Jingshi, you can't beat it, what are you talking about eternal, what kind of persistence are you talking about?" Human nature is reflected in things, you are like this, how about people? ”

Dongfang Qingxuan looked at her, his eyes moved slightly, "Don't say it?" ”

Xia Chuqi was slightly stunned, but smiled, "What about being nervous?" It's not about nervous you, it's just nervous about how to get rid of you. After that, she glanced sideways slightly, and glanced at Dongfang Qingxuan, who seemed to be smiling, "Qingxuan, I'm tired, let's go." Don't want food and grass. ”

Zhao Zun knows this well.

When she's nervous, she talks a lot to keep herself calm.

"Ah Qi, you're nervous again. You're not willing to give up on me, are you? ”

With a light "heh", Zhao Jun looked at him with bright eyes.

"Not good." Xia Chuqi chuckled and glanced at him, "The country is easy to change, and the nature is difficult to change, haven't you heard of it?" Besides, what are your hobbies and temperament? I'm not even interested anymore. I told you a long time ago that I like to live freely, and I don't like this kind of strife, it's too tiring. Zhao Zhu, in the future, we will return to the bridge, is it okay to return to the road? In the future, you will have three palaces and six courtyards, and there will be countless women surrounding you to hold you, taking you as the sky, they will not betray your intentions and will not go against your line. A woman like me can't stand the restraints, her temper is not good, and she is not easy to serve. Let me go, and everyone will be freed. ”

"What do you mean...... I'll change everything, okay? ”

Looking at her quietly for a moment, Zhao Jun seemed to use enough strength and took another step forward.

"What's wrong? Well, you had to say it. In my heart, you are not good anywhere. I like to eat noodles, you like to eat rice, I like to eat sour, you like spicy food, I like to wear less, but you have to cover me tightly, I like to play around, but you like to be stuffy at home...... Too much, too much inappropriate. The two of us don't have a place to fit, haven't you noticed? ”

Xia Chuqi glanced at Amr behind him, and the pain of peeling and cramping entered her heart again, making her depressed and uncomfortable, but she couldn't spit it out, she could only laugh, laughing more and more heartily every time.

Zhao Jun narrowed his eyes and looked at her fixedly, "What's wrong with me?" ”

Xia Chuqi smiled and mocked, "I'm fed up with you, okay?" ”

"Yes." Zhao Zhu's hoarse voice was like a lack of water, "I want a reason." ”

"Zhao Zhu, do you have to ask for a reason?"

This smile, as if separated by the Nine Heavens, is a little erratic and distant.

Brushing her hair, she looked at him and smiled.

But she can't, can't.

has been with Zhao Zhu for seven years, and Xia Chuqi has never heard him say soft words like this. Especially in front of so many people, he let go of his dignity, put down his face, and looked almost pleading with weakness. Her heart was aching, moaning in pain, in front of Zhao Zhu, she was always so useless, just a few words from him could make her soften. She almost indulged in his tenderness as she met his affectionate gaze, and wanted to forget everything and run back to him, throw herself into his arms, let him touch her belly, touch their common child...... and rejoice with him and go home.

"Ah Qi ......" forced himself not to look at Dongfang Qingxuan's face, his voice was uncomfortably hoarse, "What do you want me to do before you are willing to go back with me?" ”

Whether it is a man or a woman, they are independent individuals, no matter how wise and powerful, they cannot really make one person subordinate to another. Even if you possess the body, you can't occupy the soul, what can make two people tightly together, never separated, can only be love and responsibility, tolerance and pity.

A man can never really possess any woman.

This is what he has learned these days.

But he couldn't.

With a sneer, Zhao Jun turned his head and didn't say a word to him, staring at the face that he was thinking about, but his heart was like a poisonous snake. The poisonous snake was in his heart, and when he saw Dongfang Qingxuan's fingers wrapped around her hair, he tightened little by little, biting his heart with a burning pain, making him want to draw his sword and kill that person, and let the woman who belonged to him return to his arms.

"Long time no see, His Royal Highness King Jin, long time gone." Dongfang Qingxuan put one hand on Xia Chuqi's shoulder, his movements were extremely natural, as if he was really meeting an old friend, he gently smoothed Xia Chuqi's hair, and looked at Zhao Zhu again, "She said she didn't want to see you, didn't you hear?" ”

"Ah Qi!" Zhao Zhu paused, and he saw the person beside her.

"I told you not to come."

Xia Chuqi stared at his handsome face under the torch, and his body subconsciously shrank down, not wanting him to see his out-of-shape body, a kind of uneasiness that seemed to grow from his bones, and slowly climbed to the tip of his heart. She was afraid that he would find out that she was pregnant with a child and that he would force her to take it away. The child is her lifeblood, a testimony of her survival in this world, and she is unwilling to lose him. Seeing Zhao Jun take another step forward, the uncertainty in her heart became louder and louder, and her voice was a lot colder.

"Ah Qi, I know that you are angry with me. Let's go home and talk about it, shall we? If you want to be beaten or punished, I will leave it to you, you must not be angry with me and hurt your own body. ”

He honestly stopped and stood a foot away from her, holding back to the bottom of his heart the worries and anxious meltdowns he had been searching for months, and only stared at the face that was close at hand, almost greedily, and smiled easily.

Zhao Zhu knows Xia Chuqi, at least better than others.

"Zhao Zhu, come over again, don't blame me for being rude." Xia Chuqi looked at his haggard face, as well as the beard and embarrassment on his face that he hadn't shaved seriously for many days, frowned fiercely, and the heart-wrenching pain on his body finally suppressed the annoyance, and said seriously word by word, "Have you ever looked at yourself in the mirror?" I can't get used to seeing you now, don't you understand? ”

"Why?" Zhao Zhu's cold eyes narrowed slightly, stared at her, and walked forward.

"I don't want to see you. In other words, from the time I left the camp of the Jin army, I had already made the decision not to see you again. You know me, and I have made up my mind that nine cows will not be able to pull it back. His Royal Highness the King of Jin, let's gather and scatter to show the true colors of a man, you take the food and go, from now on we will ...... Missing. ”

If you show favor in public like this, Zhao Zhu will not easily export it in the usual way. Machismo has the most primitive and profound imprint on his body, which Xia Chuqi knows better than anyone else. Her eyes condensed slightly, and she looked at him for a moment, and finally sighed.

In front of countless people, Zhao Zhu paused for a moment before he said, "For you." ”

Xia Chuqi looked at him with a smile, "Why is that?" ”

He was stunned, "Ah Qi, you know that I didn't come here for food and grass. ”

But she never thought that she would say this.

After not seeing each other for months, Zhao was full of joy.

"Don't come here!" Xia Chuqi shouted coldly, poked his head out of the curtain, quietly looked at his handsome face that was surprised and delighted, and smiled lightly, "Sure enough, it's the praying mantis catching cicadas, and the yellow finch is behind." His Royal Highness the King of Jin, I worked hard to make this batch of grain and grass, and I was tired for a few days and nights without closing my eyes. …… Forget it, who made us have some friendship? If you need it, I'll give it to you. Remember to go back and count the money for me. ”

He was very fast, but in an instant, he was within three feet.

"Ah Qi!"

Yang Xuewu knew about Ah Qi's friendship, if Ah Qi was not willing, he would have killed her, and he might not have told her where she was. A heart that had been frightened for a long time suddenly loosened, as if it had been infused with strength in an instant, he picked up his sword and rode his horse, and strode towards the carriage on the high place.

Zhao Zhu stared at her coldly, and his heart was happy.

"If you want to kill or chop, go to Chu Qi. Where is she! ”

It's so good-looking, if only it weren't so fierce. Or Dongfang Qingxuan is a little closer, so gentle, so charming, so easy-going...... Thinking about it in a mess, Yang Xuewu retracted her nymphomaniac expression, swallowed her saliva, lowered her head and carefully wiped the sword against her neck, and pointed to the black-painted carriage parked at a high place.

"Say, where is she?"

I only heard a "swish", and Zhao Zhu's long sword was already pointed at her neck.

Her mind drifted a little far, a little unreliable, and then retribution came.

Such a man, why doesn't Chu Qi want it?

Yang Xuewu had indeed seen Zhao Zhu countless times, but she had never seen such a fierce Zhao Zhu, and he had never looked at her seriously. It can be said that this is the first time in the past few years that Zhao Zhu looked at her with such focused, expectant, and emotional eyes. Stunned, Yang Xuewu was almost speechless.

Just like a person who had been groping in the dark for a long time suddenly saw the firelight, Zhao Zhu galloped over non-stop and shouted to her, "Xiao Wu!" What about Ah Qi? Where is Ah Qi? ”

"Ah Qi! I know you're ...... Ah VII. Zhao Bottle shouted, his eyes suddenly stared, and he saw Yang Xuewu wearing the armor of the Southern Army General. He had seen her, the people around Li Miao, and he had come to the Jin Palace's mansion with Li Miao many times.

Dongfang Amr looked at his flustered face, pursed his lips, and his face was sad.

Zhao Jun didn't speak, looked at the chaotic dock, looked around blankly, kept turning the horse's head, and yelled like crazy, "Ah Qi! Ah Qi, where are you? You come out! ”

"All I knew she was going to be here......"

Amr clutched the reins in his palms and walked up quietly, standing at his side.

"What about people? Where is she? ”

In his heart, according to her habits, he will definitely be a soldier of the "Southern Army", wearing armor and fishing in troubled waters in the crowd. But after looking at all those fake Southern Army, he didn't find her figure, and he couldn't help but be anxious.

From the moment he arrived at the dock, he looked around, looking for the shadow of Xia Chuqi.

Zhao Zhu did not participate in the fight between the Jin army and the Southern army from beginning to end.

It's only a quarter of an hour, and it's almost time to clean up the battlefield.

It was obvious that from Lingbi to Si County, Zhao Zhu was ready. Most of the people who came with him were the elite soldiers of the Red Thorn, although there were no more people than the people in the baggage camp, but the military quality was completely different, and the "Southern Army" of the Jingong was originally a fake, seeing the Jin army coming, Yang Xuewu waved his hand, and then swarmed away, directly exposing the men and horses of the Southern Army's baggage battalion in front of the Jin army. Most of the people in the red thorn are very familiar with Xia Chuqi, and this time they came here, I heard that they were picking up the princess, and they were all excited, so they were not merciless when they killed people, and their eyebrows were dancing, and their morale was high. In this way, there is no suspense about the victory of the Jin army. The soldiers of the baggage battalion did not go to the battlefield in the first place, and were frightened by Zhao Zhu's appearance, and the timid ones simply jumped into the river to escape, and the bold ones rushed up and died, and the rest of the people could only kneel on the ground and beg for mercy, and surrendered with their armor thrown away.

Xia Chuqi sighed with emotion, his eyes were bright, as if he was smiling, but he was not smiling.

The man is handsome, the woman is beautiful, these two are a good match.

It's really a match made in heaven.

She also rode on a horse, her long hair curled into a girl's bun, a smoky skirt on the maroon horses, and the silk silk fluttering in the wind, looking particularly pretty and colorful in the night.

Behind him, Amur followed.

It's like a picture of Qingming Riverside under the lights at night, but it's just a combat version. The fighting on the dock is non-stop, and the noise is non-stop. Xia Chuqi squinted slightly, and his eyes finally caught Zhao Zhu's figure. He rode over, his face was cold, his left hand was clutching the reins, his facial features could not be seen clearly in the firelight, but his unruly and indifferent posture seemed to have just experienced a bloody killing. He came in her direction, getting closer. There seemed to be traces of blood on his face, and the armor on his body was also damaged in several places, and his appearance was not as bright as usual, faintly embarrassed. But his eyes are as usual, shimmering and powerful, standing in the middle of thousands of troops and horses, like a pine crane standing in a flock of chickens, majestic and majestic, the respect of kings.

This is a group of tigers and wolves, they roared loudly, waved their flags and shouted, and killed the generals, and at this time, the soldiers of the Southern Army were talking about the hard work of this road with Rufeng, collecting his "hard money", and they did not come back to their senses at all.

"Everyone, be careful, don't kill by mistake—"

The Jin army has been languishing for a long time, and their spirits are uplifted.

"Kill!"

Looking at the group of people who entered the chaos, Xia Chuqi's brows frowned slightly, he didn't panic, he didn't move, his head was like a slow motion, little by little, looking for the protagonist in the picture.

In a matter of moments, the situation on the docks changed, and the number of flares burned increased considerably. The southern army transporting grain was messing around, and their mouths were roaring frantically. In her silent world, this is a dim and chaotic picture, because in the picture, a large number of Jin troops on horseback appeared, they avoided the eyes of the southern army, from Lingbi to Si County, marching long distances, but in good spirits.

Xia Chuqi frowned and looked out of the curtain.

One by one, they ran wildly, and their mouths seemed to be roaring something.

At this time, the footsteps of the people outside were chaotic.

The dock was tense and busy, Xia Chuqi's eyes gradually blurred, and his breathing became tighter and tighter, as if he was waiting for something, and his heart was pounding. This is indeed a big deal, how much is the grain worth for five ships? Giving Zhao Bottle can also temporarily alleviate the crisis of the Jin army.

"Where to move it, here, put it on the dock first."

"Hurry up, hurry up!"

If they didn't know it, it is estimated that even they themselves would have to believe that they are the Southern Army.

All this is done in an orderly manner.

When Zhao Zhu was on the Northern Expedition, she stayed in the baggage camp for more than two months, and knew everything about their grain transportation, weapons handover, army discipline, and action steps. However, the work of handing over to the Southern Army is not good for ordinary Jingong brothers. So Rufeng did it himself. He was dressed in the uniform of a general of the Southern Army, and he looked unpretentious, and walked straight to the dock, without arousing the suspicion of the Southern Army at all. Waiting for the official ship to get off the sail, amid the burning sound of the torch, he took the initiative to go up to check with the grain commander of the baggage battalion and signed the paperwork. Then he ordered the soldiers to unload the goods.

Fortunately, the seventh day of the summer has already been arranged, and they don't need to face it.

The stars are lit up, the fishing fire is lonely, and in the middle of the night, there is finally movement on the Bianhe River. The tonnage of several official ships transporting grain was very large, and they traveled at night at a rapid pace, and the sound of paddling was very loud. The official ship did not stop and sailed straight to the pier. When it approached the shore, the lights on the bow of the ship were bright, the flags were waving, the sails were blowing, and the heavy soldiers were walking around on the boat, as if shouting something...... In the end, the Jingong brothers who pretended to be the Southern Army on the shore were a little nervous.

The fishing fire on the ground flickered in the river breeze, and the surrounding "Southern Army" was as quiet as an old monk. It all seemed so harmonious and stable. But Xia Chuqi knew that the storm was coming soon. Soon, all this will be broken.

The sky is clear, the moon is bright, and the sky is full of stars.

The two of them, from the moment they sat here, did not speak, he silently stared, as if he was half-asleep, and at the beginning of the summer, he opened the curtain on the seventh side, condescendingly overlooking the lights on the dock, waiting for the rice to enter the pot.

Next to her, sat Dongfang Qingxuan.

She sat in a carriage about a dozen feet away from the docks. This place is on a higher ground, it is a small platform, which leads directly to the official road, and the horse-drawn carriages that usually pull grain and transport goods will be stationed here.

Xia Chuqi has a big belly, so naturally he can't pretend to be an official.

Before the arrival of the official ship, the "Southern Army" in the seventh day of the summer received the grain soldiers, sent an official letter to the county lord of Si County, and sent troops to martial law the wharf.

On the dock in Si County, this point is not busy.

To do this kind of thing, unlike cheating and cheating, we must not only be bold and careful, but also need to have a considerable understanding of the heavy work of the Yugoslav army before we can know how to contact them. And these, Xia Chuqi is very good at. However, even if the Southern Army could think that the Jin Army would grab grain, it would not have thought that there would be charlatans who would dare to deceive the head of the imperial court - after all, Si County is still under the jurisdiction of the Southern Army, and the Jin Army's fingers have not yet reached here.

From Dongfang Qingxuan, she knew that there were five official ships transporting grain from Jingshi tonight, passing through Si County and entering Lingbi. In order to prevent the grain transportation materials from reaching the hands of the Southern Army, she used a fake Kanhe document to make the Southern Army's grain receiving team wait at the wharf in Lingbi County, and then instructed the baggage battalion to wait for the official ships in Si County on the grounds that "Lingbi County is rampant and the grain transportation is uneasy". Now that it came, it had opened a distance of dozens of miles from the Southern Army. Then, she took the "fake Southern Army" of Jingong to the Sixian wharf to pick up the grain.

In the early years, the habit of Jinyiwei's espionage network was well preserved by Dongfang Qingxuan, so in the war between the Jin army and the Southern army, he could get the news very early on many things that the outside world did not know. Moreover, his sources are more accurate than Xia Chuqi's passage through the Jin Palace.

Where she can't reach Dongfang Qingxuan, it is the source of the news.

In these things, Dongfang Qingxuan helped her a lot.

They did a lot of work for tonight's action.

A mighty group of people, facing the night wind, headed towards the Bianhe wharf.

A group of old men talked nonsense, one of them received a set of Southern Army uniforms, and did not enter the broken temple, but in the open space in the courtyard, he took off his coat and changed into it by the light of the torch. Sure enough, "people rely on clothes, horses rely on saddles", don't look at these people who are plain and flowing, they don't look very serious, but they are dressed in armor, put on a big knife, and after a concise and concise explanation of the posture of sitting and walking on the seventh day of the early summer, they will ride on the horse, which is no different from the officers and soldiers of the imperial court.

"Majestic you egg!"

"Hahaha, Sanhezi, look at Lao Tzu wearing this, is it majestic?"

"Uncle is greedy, greedy girl, how?"

"Haha, virtue, I haven't seen how the little lady ......"

"Brothers, I will also be a military master today and show off my might. I don't know if there is a little lady who has taken a fancy to us and got a few to go back to warm the bed. ”

The men of the Jin Palace stared at each other and laughed.

When I opened it, it was full of military uniforms, and they were the uniforms of the Southern Army.

Xia Chuqi nodded, knowing that the brothers Yang Xuewu found were trustworthy, and no one showed any intention of leaving, she was no longer pretentious, beckoned everyone to come over, and sat in a group in the courtyard in front of the broken temple, and then explained tonight's plan to the big guys clearly, and waited for it to get dark, and someone came on horseback outside, it was Dongfang Qingxuan's guard Lagula, he beckoned people over and took out several bags of hemp from the saddle.

Yang Xuewu shook her head, her voice was very small, "I just said that I am the sister of the big boss." ”

"You told them who I was?"

Looking at their answers, Xia Chuqi frowned slightly and glanced at Yang Xuewu.

"Yes, lady, let's speak, what do you want us to do?"

"From the day he entered the Jin Palace, Lao Tzu was never afraid of death."

"I've thought about it, I've thought about it a long time ago."

When everyone heard this, they shouted in response.

These are all rivers and lakes, but they are also bloody men, men who have been educated by thousands of years of tradition, in addition to loyalty and filial piety, pay the most attention to the word "righteousness". Although she is a woman, she has been in the army all the year round, and she has been with Zhao Zhu for a long time, and she has learned nine times out of ten with calm confidence and indifference, and she is also very heroic.

"Brothers!" Xia Chuqi held up a big belly, swept the group of people, clenched his fists with great dignity, and then looked at everyone with a serious face, "Although I have thought of a perfect plan for tonight's action, it is inevitable that there will be accidents or casualties when fighting with the court for food and dealing with officers and soldiers. People value their lives, and I will not force everyone to take risks with me. Before leaving, the brothers thought about it, whether they want to go or stay, whatever you want, if you want to leave, I have nothing to say. Those who stay will drink wine and eat meat in the future, and everyone will have to do it. ”

After getting her orders, Yang Xuewu moved very quickly, and after the development of Jingong over the years, the organizational network was not the same, it was much stricter and faster. Even if this is not the base camp of Jin Palace, there are many helpers. In addition, it is easy to do things with silver, and when the seventh kneel in the broken temple at the beginning of summer to worship the Bodhisattva, people have already gathered here.

Dongfang Qingxuan said it well, Kuaimian has indeed waited for hundreds of people, all young and strong young men, all of them are in good spirits, and when they saw her come out, they all looked sideways.

~

"Dongfang Qingxuan, thank you."

"That's right, don't lose the style of your Oriental Governor, you know, you were more charming at that time than now." She regained her temperament, crossed the threshold with her lower abdomen in her arms, the corners of her mouth were slightly curved, and her eyes were bright, as if she was in a good mood.

Dongfang Qingxuan's eyebrows flashed slightly, as if he had calmed down, and then smiled at her, "Okay." Let's go. ”

"Alright." Xia Chuqi looked into his eyes, "Do the right thing first, okay?" ”

"I ......," he swallowed.

Xia Chuqi was a little surprised by his chatter today, but when it came to Amur, she was not in a good mood, "Dongfang Qingxuan, I don't want to hear these old things, just say what you want to say." In order to avoid the round house, Amr caused Prince Yide to get syphilis, and Zhao Zhu's several princesses who were married, but they died before they could pass the door...... Isn't that your work? Don't say it, I don't want to hear it. ”

Looking at her face silently, Dongfang Qingxuan's Adam's apple slipped slightly, and his tone seemed to be a little embarrassed, but he was still trying to explain Amur's behavior, "Back then, Empress Zhang separated her from Tianlu alive, and she had to marry into the East Palace, do you know that kind of pain?" In order to avoid having sex with Prince Yide, she even ......"

"No, what did she do?"

Dongfang Qingxuan pursed his lips, and Xia Chuqi smiled again.

"What did you do?"

Seeing him mention Amur inexplicably, Xia Chuqi was slightly strange.

"Amur is actually very pitiful, she has no father and mother when she is very young, and although her adoptive father and adoptive mother treat her well, she is not her own child in the end. Her temperament is actually a bit like me, stubborn and willful, if she recognizes something, it will be difficult to turn back, Achu, I ......"

Dongfang Qingxuan took it, and between his eyebrows, he seemed to be ashamed.

Xia Chuqi gave her a look, Yang Xuewu suddenly took out a few written prescriptions from the baggage she carried, Xia Chuqi took it and handed it to Dongfang Qingxuan's hand, her voice was very soft, "You helped me a lot this time, I don't thank you much, this is my re-prescribed prescription, you remember to take the medicine on time, if there is anything wrong with the back, I will adjust it at any time." ”

Yang Xuewu walked over, "Chu Qi." ”

After that, she tilted her head, "Xiao Wu." ”

"Hmm," Xia Chuqi nodded, "The explanation is reasonable." But...... I don't believe it. Looking at Dongfang Qingxuan's face without blinking, she smiled lightly, "But everyone has the right to keep their secrets, if you don't want to say it, I won't ask." ”

As long as she knelt on the futon, Dongfang Qingxuan waited. In the long process of waiting, he swallowed what he wanted to tell her before, and he couldn't say it, and what he wanted to say. Smiling reluctantly, he said, "What can you say?" Isn't it surprising that hundreds of people outside are waiting for you, but you are worshipping the Bodhisattva here, and you don't know what is wrong with you, and suddenly you change your mind and believe in these gods, gods, Buddhas, and Buddhas? ”

Xia Chuqi pulled the plain and loose silk clothes on his body, and his bloated body slowly approached him, his eyes narrowed, "What's wrong?" Do you have something to tell me? ”

Xia Chuqi nodded, and looked at Dongfang Qingxuan's face quietly by the light of the incense candle that had already burned out in front of the case. I don't know why, today's Dongfang Qingxuan didn't smile as usual, his tense facial features looked serious and complicated, full of uncertainty.

"It's all in order, thanks to the help of the third son."

Yang Xuewu nodded, and looked at Dongfang Qingxuan with a blushing face.

Xia Chuqi looked at her, smiled lightly, after some "communication" with the Bodhisattva, her mood seemed to be much calmer, and her soothing voice was like a wooden fish in the temple that had not changed for thousands of years, a little dull, but calm, "Xiao Wu, are you ready?" ”

"Chu Qi, be careful, it's not good to fall."

Yang Xuewu waited for her for a long time in the back, and hurriedly hugged her when she saw this.

She seemed to be kneeling weakly on her legs and feet, and slowly supported her waist to get up, but she stumbled.

The sun had turned red, and the sky had darkened.

I don't know how long it took, but the light in the temple became darker and darker.

Be quiet. It was quiet.

It's not that she's in an ethereal state of emptiness, but she hasn't heard it at all. Yes, she was praying and very religious. This kneeling in front of the Bodhisattva was the most devout in her two lifetimes. It was also at this time that she discovered that people with faith are actually more likely to be at peace of mind than those who have no faith. People may not believe in God, but in order to attain a peaceful liberation.

He said, but Xia Chuqi did not answer.

"I remember that you didn't believe in gods and Buddhas, but now you're religious?"

Behind her, Dongfang Qingxuan stood quietly, smiling rather than smiling.

"What are you praying for?"

Xia Chuqi knelt on the shabby futon, folded his hands, and was silent. She wore a simple and plain dress, except for the lock on her left wrist, there was no jewelry on her body, she looked like a clean and cool little flower, and her bulging belly and pregnancy added a little softness to her.

The dilapidated temple, with scratches and damage everywhere on the eaves and doors, has been empty for a long time, but now there are more fruit snacks and burning incense candles in front of the Bodhisattva's offering table than during the usual New Year.

Surabaya County.

Spring drought is not a drought, but summer drought is a real drought. In the ambush day, it has not rained for a long time, even the Bodhisattva temple is filled with a lot of floating dust, the sky is hot, and the clothes are wet like a rain.
