It is not far from the day when Han Jiangxue is about to give birth, so Mo Li will naturally not travel far, and for him, no matter how important things are now, it is not as important as his wife's childbirth.

Giving birth to a child is equivalent to going around the ghost door, so he must sit in front of him in person, otherwise he can't rest assured at all.

Therefore, Mo Li did not plan to go to the West Desert in person, but sent two extremely important people, Yiwen and Yiwu, to deal with it on his behalf with a large army. The plan related to it had already been agreed upon, and the people he sent only needed to try to implement them one by one, and even some contingency methods had been thought out of well, so there was no need for Mo Li to make this trip himself.

Today's Ximo has been forced to a dead end by Nanliang, otherwise it would be impossible to ask Nankun to send troops, after all, they can fully imagine the consequences of asking Nankun to send troops. But it is much better to become a subordinate of Nankun than to be annexed by Nanliang, after all, the Meng family and the Mo family do not have too many festivals, and they are not like Nanliang, a mortal enemy who cannot be resolved for several lifetimes.

Compared with the Western Desert, the current situation of the Southern Liang is not much stronger, and while forcing the Western Desert to a dead end, they themselves are also facing the invasion of Northern Shu, and at the same time, they have exhausted a lot of manpower, material and financial resources in this war with the Western Desert, and the losses are great.

Because of this, the monarch of Nanliang was still unwilling to abandon the Western Desert in such a situation, even if he was knocked out of his teeth and swallowed blood, he had to forcibly swallow the Western Desert in order to recover some losses. After receiving the Western Desert, he immediately transferred back the soldiers and horses to slow down the fight against the Western Shu soldiers and horses, and recaptured several lost territories on the border.

But. Nanliang Guoqun is obviously still too greedy, otherwise, it may also be considered that the Ximo Meng family, who was forced to jump over the wall in a hurry, would go to Nankun to ask for help, and would rather be merged by Nankun. It won't be cheap South Beam half a cent.

In fact, Mo Li's game that has been set up with Xishu a long time ago is not just as simple as collecting a Ximo. After his army arrived, Nankun and Xishu directly attacked Nanliang, which would definitely make the lord of Nanliang pay a heavy price.

As far as Moli is concerned, Nanliang is really not a friendly neighbor, and he will not take advantage of Nankun's official establishment to repair and repair it, and he will be afraid of Nanliang. Let them not dare to move without permission for at least a few decades. This will provide a very ample time for the stability and rise of the entire Nankun national strength.

Five days later, the army of the Western Expedition was assembled and set off for the Western Desert. And Han Jiangxue's body is getting heavier and heavier, and the doctor reminded that judging from the pulse, the fetus may be born earlier than the expected date of delivery.

In this way, the various preparations of the Mowang Mansion are even more meticulous. In the past few days, Mo Li simply moved the affairs of government affairs to the study in the house to deal with them. Wholeheartedly waiting for the arrival of the child.

Han Jiangxue's self-feeling is extremely good, under the care of her aunt, her various states have been adjusted to the best, especially her psychological preparation, and there is no special pressure.

My aunt is very experienced, and she asked for a letter before she came, so that Han Jiangxue should pay more attention to walking more in the middle and late stages of pregnancy, so that the delivery will be faster. It can also be much smoother. Now that I'm beside me, I'm taking care of everything properly. made Mo Li feel a lot more relieved, and finally no longer had to arrange everything in person to be able to rest assured.

On this day, her aunt was walking in the garden with Han Jiangxue, but Mo Li was the owner who came to pass the word, asking her to go to the study if she was free, saying that there was a special guest.

Han Jiangxue asked the person who sent the message, and the person didn't seem to know the identity of the person who came, so Han Jiangxue didn't ask anything more, and asked people to serve their aunt and mother to go back to the hospital to rest first, and she took Shui'er and Ziyue to the study.

"Xingming, how could it be you!" After arriving at the study, seeing the visitor who was talking to Mo Li, Han Jiangxue was suddenly surprised and delighted, but she never expected that the special guest Mo Li was referring to turned out to be Li Xingming.

The moment she saw Li Xingming, whether it was in her past life or in this life, all kinds of memories emerged, which made her quite excited and emotional for a while.

The last time I saw Li Xingming was a few years ago before I went to Xishu to find my senior brother.

At that time, Li Xingming turned his face from Prince Zhuang's mansion because of her involvement and the matter of the green branch, and after moving out, he supported himself and started a completely different life trajectory again.

Originally, she wanted to go and see Lu Zhi, but Xi Shu and his party disrupted her plan, and then returned to the capital to keep things, and after getting married, she left the capital directly with Mo Li, and she had no chance to visit Li Xingming and Lu Zhi in the past few years, and she rarely got any news from them.

Later, she only learned from Mo Li that Li Xingming had never had any substantive contact or contact with the palace since he left Prince Zhuang's mansion, and the whole person had completely obtained a qualitative change.

I never thought that after four years, they would meet here, which can be regarded as a meeting in a foreign country, which is really a happy thing.

"Jiang Xue, you're about to become a mother, this day is really fast!" Li Xingming was obviously very excited, and he didn't have any scruples in front of Mo Li, and he was no longer as afraid of Mo Li as he was back then, and joked with a smile: "But except for your belly has become so big, you haven't changed at all, and you still look like a teenage girl!" ”

"Stinky boy, this mouth hasn't changed at all!" Han Jiangxue also laughed, Li Xingming's whole popularity and charm are now as if he has changed a person, but with this mouth, the image of the former gentleman has come back a little.

Mo Li didn't care about the way the two of them got along so cordially as soon as they met, he just stepped forward to help Han Jiangxue sit down, signaled to sit down and talk again, watch out for his body.

After a period of greetings, Han Jiangxue quickly asked about Li Xingming's experience over the years, but she never thought that the green branch would be dead not long ago.

Speaking of this, Li Xingming's expression was obviously still a little sad, and it could be seen that he had a very deep affection for the green branch, otherwise it would not have been possible to openly cut off relations with the palace for the sake of the green branch.

"Green Branch, how did she die?" Han Jiangxue sighed in her heart, although she knew that mentioning these would make Li Xingming sad again, but the approximate cause of death still couldn't help but ask.

"Contracted and died, or ......" Li Xingming let out a long sigh, but he didn't hide it: "Or, she doesn't want to drag me down, so she won't be willing to cooperate with the treatment, so she will die so soon." ”

Han Jiangxue was silent, she heard Li Xingming say that because of the injury she suffered that time, it was impossible for Luzhi to have children again for the rest of her life, and now she has never heard Li Xingming talk about marrying other wives and concubines, so in the final analysis, I am afraid it is related to these.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but look at Mo Li on the side, but she was glad that she and her husband were not the kind of people who drilled their horns, and she was also glad that God was really kind to them.

"Forget it, let's not talk about that."

Li Xingming quickly adjusted, smiled at Han Jiangxue and Mo Li, diverted this topic that was a little sensitive to him, and said instead: "By the way, there is something that you probably don't know yet, right?" ”

"What's the matter?" Mo Li took over the words: "Do you mean the current Dongming capital?" ”

Li Xingming nodded: "That's right, something big happened in the capital, and Li Qing died on the night of the twenty-ninth of last month!" ”

"What?" Han Jiangxue was instantly surprised, and immediately subconsciously asked, "How is it possible, why haven't we received any news about such a big thing?" ”

It is indeed a very long way from Dongming Capital to Nankun, but it is impossible that such important news has not been transmitted back to Nankun for so long. According to what Li Xingming said, counting the time, Li Qing has been dead for more than a month, how can it be that after such a long time, Mo Li has not received any news at all.

At this moment, even Mo Li was very surprised, and then Han Jiangxue also asked, "Where did you get the news from this fight?" ”

Li Xingming explained: "The capital was already in a mess two or three months ago, and most of the members of the royal family and the princes and magnates of the capital have moved to Jiling Island, leaving only some people in the capital to support the scene. Li Qing was already very sick half a year ago, and then he paid little attention to political affairs, and then the Nankun army approached the Yuanshui River, and this news made Li Qing even more ill. ”

But no matter who persuaded him, Li Qing refused to leave the capital and go to Jiling Island, but on the night of the 29th of last month, he finally didn't hold back and swallowed his breath. After Li Qing's death, the ministers who stayed in the capital did not dare to announce the news, so as not to cause greater panic, and Li Qing had no heirs at all, nor did he set up a successor before his death. After discussing with several important ministers, it was decided to hide the news very well, and as much as possible, all the remaining foundation and capital of Dongming would be transferred to Lingji Island, and the successor would be selected before it was announced. ”

Li Xingming sighed faintly and continued: "This matter is what my eldest brother secretly told me, the people in Prince Zhuang's mansion have basically been transferred to Jiling Island, and the eldest brother wants me to go there with him, but I don't want to go, it doesn't belong to me, I just want to send the green branch to her hometown, and then parade the world unrestrainedly, so I declined the kindness of the eldest brother." My eldest brother didn't force me later, and after he left, I set off to Nankun with the ashes of the green branches. ”

"After finishing the Green Branch, I inquired a little and knew that Green Branch's hometown is not far from you, so I came to see you, and by the way, I also wanted to see your soon-to-be-born child. When I see your children, I won't have anything to worry about, so I'll go around and look around, which can be regarded as fulfilling another wish for the green branch. (To be continued......)
