Chapter 4: Fighting for World Domination (1)
1. Wei Qin went on the expedition
The night before Wei Qin's expedition, Xiangbao couldn't sleep for a long time, and it was almost early in the morning when she fell asleep groggily. Still having nightmares, she dreamed that Weiqin was swallowed up in swamps, and those blood-colored swamps smelled creepy.
The morning sun was not blazing, but it still woke up the shallow sleep of Xiangbao.
"Ma'am, breakfast is ready." Joy cries at the door.
Xiangbao was a little uncertain, walked back and forth several times, and finally rushed out of the palace gate.
"Madame! Madam! When Joy turned around, he couldn't help but be startled when he saw that Xiangbao was gone.
Get into the carriage and go all the way to the gate of the city. When stepping out of the carriage, Xiangbao couldn't help but squint his eyes. Under the sun, Wei Qin was wearing armor and a red cloak, standing next to the war horse. Behind him, there was the black and oppressive Wu Bing, with an indescribable majesty.
"Let's go!" Wei Qin turned over on his horse, raised his cloak like fire, and roared loudly.
"Yes!" In response, all the soldiers raised their halberds in their hands and shouted in response.
The halberd landed with a deafening sound. The crowd of people who saw them off was also excited by this momentum. Under the scorching sun, Wei Qin led the men and horses to gradually move away, never looking back.
"Wei Qin, this kid, really deserves to be after leaving." Xiangbao heard a faint praise behind him.
is a very familiar voice, and if you distinguish it carefully, it turned out to be Wu Zixu's voice.
"Tiger fathers have no dogs." Someone chimed in.
"Well, I am not arrogant or impatient, I dare to ask for advice, and I have the style of a general." Wu Zixu seemed to be quite comfortable.
"So, Lord Zuo Sima went to Lord Xiangguo?"
"Last night, the boy came to the old man. It's rare for an orphan to grow up in such an environment, and he can be so humble and polite, and he also asked me for advice on how to use soldiers. Wu Zixu said, the implication of his words, was very appreciative of Wei Qin.
Xiangbao curled her lips slightly.
"Madam, the scorching sun is on your head, be careful of the fetal gas." Coldly, a dark shadow pressed in, blocking the sunlight overhead.
A large hand gently caressed her abdomen, and Xiangbao looked up into a pair of deep eyes.
"Thank you." Putting his hand over his hand, Xiangbao leaned into his arms.
"Let's go back to the palace."
"Hmm."
In September, the monarchs and ministers of the Yue Kingdom entered Wu and congratulated the victory of the war.
"King Yue and Dr. Fan are here......
"Ah, I've seen Dr. Fan, it's very handsome."
"Hee-hee, you're excited."
"I heard...... Our Mrs. Xi Shi was originally Dr. Fan's fiancΓ©e, and somehow she ......"
Xiangbao stood in front of the window, caressing his increasingly bulging abdomen with one hand, looking at the palace maids and maids who occasionally came and went outside, and was slightly distracted.
"Shut up!" Joy stepped forward and stopped them from gossiping.
Although they didn't see Xiangbao standing in front of the window, the gossiping maids still stopped talking. Because Joy is Xiangbao's personal maid, other maids are naturally incomparable.
Xiangbao had already turned around and walked out of the room, bowing his head all the way, and unconsciously walked to the lotus pond. Occasionally, a gust of wind blew, which brought a little cold, and most of the lotus flowers in the pond were broken. This season has changed so quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it has been almost two months since Wei Qin went out, and I don't know how. Last night, she dreamed of Wei Qin again, and he smiled brightly. In the dream, she tugged at his ears and bared her teeth to warn him to come back alive, she said, if you dare to die, I will kill you......
The corners of his mouth were a little sore, and his eyes were sour, Xiangbao lowered his head and rubbed his eyes. Suddenly feeling a slight tremor in the abdomen, Xiangbao was startled, and subconsciously reached out and gently stroked the bulging abdomen, as if he could feel a small child breathing in his body. The corners of her mouth curled unconsciously, and her heart was a little sweet, she ...... I'm going to be a mother.
Hehehe, I'm going to be a mother......
At night, halfway through sleep, Xiangbao suddenly woke up, and when he opened his eyes, there were several dark shadows standing in front of the couch.
"Who are you?" Noticing the night's maid lying silently on the ground, Xiangbao sat up in panic.
The shadows chuckled lowly.
"Ah, look at her belly!" It's a deliberately suppressed laugh.
Xiangbao shuddered and subconsciously covered her abdomen with her hands.
"It's the evil seed of the faint king...... the sneering voice with unconcealable disgust, and he raised the long sword in his hand, and he actually stabbed straight into Xiangbao's abdomen.
"Don't!" Xiangbao closed her eyes, tightly protected her abdomen, and screamed.
A figure suddenly swept into the room from the window, and the sword flashed, and only a scream was heard. When Xiangbao opened her eyes, she saw an arm fall beside her, blood splattering her face.
Xiangbao looked down blankly, and saw that the severed hand was still holding a sword.
The person who came was masked, and the sword was swung down, and he only cut off his hands, but did not kill anyone. The room immediately screamed, and the screams finally alarmed the guards outside the door, and the door was slammed open.
"Madame! Madam! Joy rushed in after him, and when he saw the terrible situation in the room, he couldn't help but scream, and his body shook and he almost fainted.
The ground was covered with men in black with their arms cut off, rolling on the ground, wailing, but still alive.
The masked man saw someone coming in and flew towards the window where he came. Xiangbao looked at him stunned, and he suddenly glanced back at Xiangbao. Seeing his eyes, Xiangbao was stunned, it was him......
Fan Li? How could he happen to be here?
The assassin incident alarmed Fucha, and he, who had originally held a banquet in the palace to entertain the monarchs and ministers of the Yue Kingdom, rushed to the Guanwa Palace overnight.
"King, it must be Yue Ren! It so happened that as soon as they entered Wu, something happened here! β
In the distance, Xiangbao heard Wu Zixu's voice, and then thought of Fan Li's appearance just now, Xiangbao suddenly figured it out.
Killing two birds with one stone, really poisonous.
Wu Zixu took advantage of the opportunity of the king of Yue to enter Wu, and sent assassins to not only remove her evil water and the evil in her belly, but also blame the Yue country.
But...... The pale lips hooked a smile, Xiangbao looked at the open window, but it was a pity that Yue Wang was still a step ahead, and he had expected this for a long time, so he would send Fan Li to solve this matter.
Don't kill people, only cut off your hands, leave a living mouth, and you can't even blame the trouble, it's really clever.
The husband ignored the chattering Wu Zixu, strode into the room, and saw Xiangbao sitting on the couch well, and his heart hanging in his throat was relaxed.
Wu Zixu shut up after seeing a room full of killers who had no hands.
Xiangbao couldn't help but laugh "hehe", her pale face was stained with splattered blood, and she laughed uncontrollably in front of the room full of handsless people. Joy was already frightened, but when she saw that her wife suddenly smiled strangely, she was even more frightened. Mrs. She...... Isn't it crazy?
The husband frowned slightly, and strode over to Xiangbao, ignoring the screaming and wailing people at his feet. Picking up the bloodstained severed hand beside Xiangbao and throwing it on the ground like garbage, the husband raised his sleeve to wipe the blood stains on Xiangbao's face: "Don't laugh." β
Xiangbao stopped laughing, looked up at him, and carried his head into his arms.
Holding the unconscious Xiangbao, the husband looked at the joy who was stunned: "Go to the doctor." β
"Yes!" Joy was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly turned around and ran out.
Because the assassins attacked the palace at night, Shi Lian ordered him to rush with the guards. As soon as he arrived at the gate of the Guanwa Palace, Shi Lian noticed a figure sweeping out of the wall.
"Who? Hold it! Shi Lian let out a loud shout and chased after him with his sword.
"It's me." Fan Li lowered his voice.
Shi Lian was slightly stunned, put away his sword, and then frowned: "Why are you here?" β
Fan Li didn't answer him.
"You are too reckless, you are here at this time, do you want to kill her?" Shi Lian's voice was slightly deep, and then he was startled, "Could it be ...... You're an Assassin? β
"No, I don't know who sent it, you can go in and take a look." Fan Li said, turning around and disappearing into the darkness.
Shi Lian had to hold the sword and entered the Guanwa Palace, and after seeing the tragic situation in the room, Shi Lian was also slightly surprised.
"What are you doing? Clean the room. The husband commanded lightly.
"These people ......"
"Drag it down, one by one, until they tell who the mastermind is."
"Yes." Shi Lian bowed his head and took the order.
Wu Zixu, who was standing on the side, changed his face slightly.
Taking advantage of the moonlight, Fan Li returned to his residence.
"Dr. Fan." A voice rang out coldly.
Fan Li turned around and saw Gou Jian sitting in the garden.
"Come and have a drink with the widow." Gou Jian pointed to the wine glass on the stone table.
Fan Li walked in front of him.
"Where did Dr. Fan go so late?" personally poured a glass of wine and handed it to him, Gou Jian seemed to be careless.
Fan Li didn't say anything, just sat down and drank.
"See her?" Gou Jian took a sip of wine and said with a smile, "Going to see her at this time is really not like Dr. Fan's style." β
"The assassin in the palace of Guanwa, but the king sent him?" Fan Li suddenly raised his head and looked at Gou Jian, his always gentle eyes lit up a little dazzlingly.
Gou Jian was slightly stunned: "Assassin? β
"Hmm." Fan Li lowered his eyes, "I don't think it will be the king, so I left a living mouth for my husband." β
Gou Jian subconsciously narrowed his eyes, is this a threat? If the Assassin was really sent by him, wouldn't he be in a desperate situation if he intervened to stop him and leave him alive? Raising his head and drinking the wine in the cup, Gou Jian stood up, patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Doctor Fan is really witty, this move is obviously someone deliberately trying to blame the country and the widow, and now he is left alive, isn't it wonderful?" β
Fan Li was slightly stunned, and almost crushed the cup in her hand, Xiangbao her...... Could it be the same thing?
"It's late at night, Dr. Fan should rest early. This Wu country is not a place to stay for a long time, since the sincerity has been delivered, let's return to Vietnam as soon as possible. With that, Gou Jian turned around and went back to the room.
Under the moonlight, a man in a white robe sat for a long time. Just wanted to see her, he went to Guanwa Palace, just wanted to see her......
His eyes grew even colder when he thought of them, and if he hadn't gone to see her, wouldn't those assassins be able to do anything...... However, everything today is because of him.
He was the one who put her in danger.
When he woke up, Xiangbao's first reaction was to touch his stomach.
"Madame is awake?" After a day's watch, he saw that Xiangbao finally woke up, and he was very happy and happy.
"Kid ......"
"The kid is fine." Joy busy.
Xiangbao sighed.
In the days that followed, Fucha suddenly became busy, and Gou Jian, Fan Li and his party also returned to Yueguo.
Because of the assassin's night attack, Fu Cha ordered Shi to lead soldiers to protect the Guanwa Palace, which caused Wu Zixu to be very dissatisfied, but his opinion was ignored by Fu Cha as always.
Shi Lian is a one-eyed person, and his husband asked him to lead troops to protect the Guanwa Palace, so he really stood motionless in front of the gate of the Guanwa Palace, like a door god.
"General Shi, Madame called you." Joy came to the Nth time to speak.
Shi Lian grimaced coldly and didn't speak. Joy secretly complained, the general was so cold that he was about to freeze to death, and the lady asked her to come several times, and he said that ignoring people is ignoring people, and completely treating her as if she didn't exist.
Seeing that joy came back dejectedly, Xiangbao snorted, wrapped a robe, and went into battle in person.
"General Shi ......" pinched his nose, and Xiangbao stood behind Shi Lian.
His eyebrows twitched slightly, and Shi Lian glanced sideways at her: "Madam, pay attention to your identity." β
"Hey, do I have an identity?" Xiangbao blinked, extremely innocent, "Then I asked someone to pass you on, why don't you ignore me?" β
"What's the matter, ma'am?" Endured and endured, Shi Liandao.
"Anyway, it's boring for you to stand here, why don't you teach me to read." Xiangbao said with a smile.
"Shi Lian's mission is to protect Madame."
Seeing his business-like death, Xiangbao rolled his eyes, "chirped", and sneezed.
"It's cold, madam, please go back." Frowning slightly, Shi Lian said.
"Alas, it's pitiful to be illiterate...... ...... be looked down upon," Xiangbao muttered.
The corners of her mouth twitched slightly, and Shi Lian looked at the woman who was wrapped like a ball and had a ball on her stomach, she was snorting pitifully.
Sitting in front of the bookcase, Shi Lian resigned himself to writing two words, he couldn't understand why he was moved by her pity, and he was really stupid to sit here and teach her to read.
Xiangbao probed his head and glanced at it, stunned, and then pouted: "It's really uncreative, isn't this my name, can you change it to one with a little more depth?" β
What do you teach people to read, you have to teach the name first, hum!
The green tendons on his forehead were beating faintly, Shi Lian closed his eyes, and endured a knife on his head.
"Xi, Shi?" Joy, who was standing aside, pointed to those two words and said.
Shi Lian wrote "Xiangbao". When he heard the joyful words, he was secretly frightened, and with a blank face, he crossed out the two words and rewrote a few more words.
"What is this word? It's so familiar! Xiangbao looked at it and asked.
"Guanwa Palace." Shi Lian glanced at her and said lightly.
It turned out to be the name of his palace, no wonder it was so familiar! Xiangbao smirked.
After teaching a few more words, Xiangbao yawned and began to feel sleepy. Shi Lianzheng lowered his head to write, and when he raised his head, he saw the main owner standing on the side, and his head was dozing off little by little.
"Well, Madame probably didn't sleep well last night......" Joy explained with help.
"Idiot." With a look of disgust, he glanced at the Xiangbao girl who could sleep while standing, and Shi Lian got up and walked out the door.
Leaving Joy alone and standing in place, the corners of her mouth twitching, she looked back at her wife, who still had a suspicious liquid hanging from the corners of her mouth. Sweating a little, Joy stepped forward to help her staggering lady: "Madam, go back to the couch and lie down to sleep." β
And he slept until dark.
When he opened his eyes, Xiangbao was lying in her husband's arms, he was holding his chin in one hand, looking at her, and he didn't know when he came.
"Awake?" Seeing Xiangbao open his eyes, he raised his eyebrows, "I slept really deeply." β
Pillowed his hand, Xiangbao blinked his sleepy eyes: "What are you doing here?" β
"Hmm......" his hand moved restlessly.
Xiangbao trembled slightly, and the corners of his mouth began to twitch: "You...... What are you doing? β
"Hmm, Madame is really puzzled...... This kind of thing ......," he whispered in her ear as if on purpose, "Well, this kind of thing can only be understood, not spoken...... How can the widow be embarrassed to speak......"
The slender hand stroked her slightly hot cheeks, and the slightly cool lips gently crossed her forehead, eyes, and the tip of her nose, and then stopped on her lips, licking, and biting.
"It's so warm......," he gave up her lips, and he whispered in her ear, sighing.
She didn't know when her shirt was untied, and he leaned over to look at her, his narrow eyes bottomless. A hand swept over her, and he leaned over and kissed her collarbone, causing her to shiver slightly, and the cool hand restlessly caressed every inch of her skin, and finally, resting on her bulging abdomen.
"I've heard that giving birth can be painful." Cold, he said.
Xiangbao laughed dryly, isn't this nonsense? And also...... Could anyone be discussing having a baby in such a strange position?
"No matter what you say, I won't give up! I'm going to give birth to this child! Angry, Xiangbao bared his teeth at him and said.
Instead of continuing on to the strange topic, he lowered his head and pressed her lips lightly.
"Well, I'm looking forward to ......"
Xiangbao didn't know when she fell asleep, and in her sleep, she always felt that someone was watching her.
In the haze, Xiangbao seemed to hear someone whispering something in her ear, but she was too sleepy to hear clearly. Halfway through sleep, Xiangbao moved, hugged the slightly hot pillow, rubbed it, changed positions, and was about to continue to sleep, but suddenly felt something on his waist.
The eyelashes trembled slightly, and Xiangbao suddenly came to his senses, and chose to continue to close his eyes very ostrichly.
"It's dawn, why do you love to sleep so much?" Pinched her face, his snort was close to her, seeing her eyes closed and ignored, he suddenly smiled lowly, "I slept so soundly, she must not know if she eats it now." β
Very spinelessly, Xiangbao's eyes widened suddenly, indicating that he had woken up, and then he saw his smiling face.
"Madame......" he began.
Xiangbao thought that he was going to say something inconsequential, and glared at him with puffed cheeks.
"The widow is going on a campaign." He said.
Xiangbao froze, as if he had been immobilized, and remained motionless. The husband was startled by her, raised his hand and shook it in front of her eyes: "What's wrong?" β
Xiangbao didn't say a word, and suddenly opened his mouth to bite his hand.
"Yikes." With a soft snort, he wrinkled his face, "Hurt ......"
Hurt? Xiangbao raised his eyebrows in his way, bit his hand and didn't let go, and said vaguely: "I'm not afraid to go to the battlefield, I'm afraid of what hurts......"
"No one can make the widow feel pain except for Madame." His long narrow eyes stared at her, and he spoke slowly, "No one can hurt me except Madame." β
So determined, so arrogant, so arrogant...... But it made Xiangbao's heart twitch suddenly.
She let go of her mouth in a daze. On his wrists, two neat rows of tooth marks were left, slightly reddened.
"The third time."
"Huh?" She looked at him suspiciously.
"The third time." He laughed, "The meat of the widow is so delicious?" β
For the first time, in front of Wu Ying, he teased her with smoke, and her mind was hot, and she actually bit Wu Wangfucha in front of so many Wu soldiers and Wu Zixu.
The second time, in the Drunken Moon Pavilion, she was forced by him to bandage her wounds, and she mouthed angrily and made him hurt together.
The third time, this time.
Xiangbao didn't know that he remembered it so clearly.
"Are my eyes really the size of brass bells?" Looking at her, Fucha suddenly smiled.
"Yes, yes, my arms are thicker than bears, and I like to eat human flesh raw." Xiangbao remembered those oolong things, and laughed out loud.
He stretched out his hand to hug her into his arms: "Actually, there was another time, after that hunt......"
Xiangbao blushed, knowing that he was talking about the night party, and he fed her venison, but she bit his fingers together...... Then she got drunk and ......
"Because of the change in the battle ahead, most of the army of Vaqi has been overturned." He spoke suddenly, in a soft voice.
Xiangbao's face changed suddenly, and Wei Qin ......
"King, General Wu is urging for the third time." Outside the door, he said with joy.
Xiangbao was stunned for a moment, and urged three times, when did it happen?
"This is about to go?"
"Well, I wanted to say goodbye to my wife, but unfortunately my wife fell asleep." With a helpless face, the husband let go of Xiangbao and put on his clothes.
Xiangbao leaned on the pillow and tilted his head to watch his long hair pouring down. Fan Li went on the expedition, lost his memory and returned, Wei Qin went on the expedition, life and death are unpredictable, and now he ...... Is he going to go too?
As if noticing Xiangbao's gaze, the husband looked back at her. After looking at her fixedly for a moment, he suddenly opened his arms to her, his robe was half open, and his chest was slightly exposed, with an indescribable charm.
This posture...... The corners of Xiangbao's mouth twitched, was she waiting for her to throw herself into her arms? In this situation, should she have tears in her eyes, pear blossoms rushing into his arms with rain, and then pour out her parting?
Seeing that Xiangbao sat in place and didn't mean to get up, the husband raised his eyebrows and curled the corners of his lips slightly: "Alas, the widow was just thinking, if Madame could lean on my arms and gently tell me, 'I'll wait for you to come back', in that case......" He looked a little exaggeratedly sad, "Even if I die, I will come back with my last breath...... Died in the arms of his wife. β
There seemed to be a hole in her heart, knowing that he was exaggerating, but like a coward, she put on her clothes, walked to him, and as he said, bowed her head and leaned into his open arms. This guy ...... So hateful! knew her intentions, but he wanted to provoke her again and again.
Raising his head and grinding his teeth, Xiangbao gritted his teeth and said "gently": "I'll wait for you to come back." β
Fucha laughed, and even his eyes narrowed: "I'll be back." β
Xiangbao reached out to tie his clothes for him. Joy had already taken the armor and stood aside for a long time, and Xiangbao took it from her hand.
"No death, no injury, no bloodshed, not even a hair drop." She put on his armor and yellow cloak for him, and glared at him.
The husband was slightly stunned and smiled: "As Mrs. wishes." β
What kind of place is the battlefield? Fan Li, Wei Qin, Fu Cha...... I saw too many scenes on the expedition, and Xiangbao didn't go to see her husband off. The back of the expedition, she didn't want to see it again. For men, the battlefield may be a sacred place to express loyalty, a necessary way to realize ambition, but for women...... But it was undoubtedly the most terrible nightmare.
This is the conclusion reached by Xiangbao.
