As soon as the emperor said that the dynasty was dispersed, the princes gathered together in twos and threes, and said with puzzled faces: "Many generals in the court may not be able to grab positions with their heads sharpened, and they were robbed by an outsider, why, just because he made national merits on the battlefield?" ”

His dissatisfaction with Lu Li was clearly written on his face, causing the other prince to frown: "Don't say what you shouldn't say." ”

The emperor rewarded Lu Li so richly, he either wanted to make Lu Li ugly, or he had expectations for him.

"Shall we go over and woo him?" Someone suggested.

Their eyes invariably fell on Lu Li not far away, and just when they hesitated, a figure crossed them and walked directly towards Lu Li.

"It's King Li! He took the lead again! ”

The prince, who was obviously more mature in the crowd, hooked his lips and smiled, and asked everyone to keep quiet: "Lu Li first came to the capital, it is estimated that he hasn't even figured out the power of the capital, so let King Li try to win him over as much as he wants, anyway, King Li can't make waves, and when he sees the situation clearly and understands who should be loyal, we will take action again." ”

Before his words fell, the princes around him nodded in agreement.

At the same time, Lu Li was stopped by King Li.

Li Wenfeng was not by his side, I don't know what was going on when he was dispersing, the emperor suddenly called him to the imperial study, and before parting, he specially told Lu Li not to be too close to others, and Lu Li obeyed his wishes.

But the moment I saw King Li, my mind began to waver.

"The ministers have seen King Li." Lu Li said respectfully.

King Li smiled, stepped forward directly to help the person up, and then said to him in Lu Li's panicked eyes: "I listened to what General Lu said in the court just now, which made the king's eyes light up!" After staying in the capital for a long time, there are not many heroes in this drunken gold fan, and this king is the first time to see General Lu with a heroic spirit, I really admire it. ”

Lu Li said with embarrassment: "The prince praised it falsely. ”

King Li shook his head and said with a serious face: "What this king said is the truth, General Lu should not be very familiar with all the things in Beijing when he enters Beijing for the first time, why don't you let this king do the east and take General Lu to the capital for a tour?" ”

Lu Li actually didn't want to agree, An Xiabai at home was pregnant, why didn't he know the situation now, how could he have the heart to visit the capital.

When he was thinking about what excuse to refuse, he heard King Lili say: "This king also specially set up a dust washing banquet for General Lu in the restaurant today, hoping that the general will not live up to the king's kindness." ”

Having said this, Lu Li understood that he had no room to refuse, nodded helplessly, and got into King Li's carriage.

The dust washing banquet is set in the largest restaurant in the capital, and the banquet is only two people, King Li and Lu Li.

The colorful sleeves flew into his eyes, and the pleasant sound of silk and bamboo lingered in his ears, Lu Li sat upright, but his heart was not very stable, not only because he was worried about An Xiabai, but also because he didn't know King Li's intentions.

I don't know what he thinks when he talks about it from time to time, and he insists on letting himself say the difficulties of the border pass?

What Lu Li didn't know was that when he and King Li said at the banquet, An Xiabai in the family was enduring some kind of great pain.

Earlier, she felt uncomfortable in her stomach before she entered the capital, if it weren't for the fact that Lu Li was going to enter the court, An Xiabai was really reluctant to let him leave her side, because she was a little scared, and the severe pain even made her breathing become intermittent, and she couldn't even stand on her feet.

Seeing this, Wen Po, who was invited into the house, knew that the amniotic water had broken and was about to give birth, so she ordered someone to carry An Xiabai back to the room.

"Madam, why don't I go and ask the general to come back?" The maid stood beside her bed, her hands covered in blood, and there were many tears and sweat on her cheeks, all frightened by nervousness and uneasiness.

An Xiabai's due date is obviously next month!

Even if the situation was urgent, An Xiabai still tried to keep his composure: "I'm fine, don't trouble the general because of this little thing." ”

When Lu Li went to the king of Yuli, he once sent someone to send a message to inform him that it was related to his future, and An Xiabai was unwilling to bother more.

Wen Po held An Xiabai's hand tightly, sighed and persuaded: "Madam, your due date is next month, and you are preparing to give birth today because of the bumpy journey, so it is better to ask the general to come back." ”

What she meant was that there was a certain danger in giving birth to a child in peace.

Realizing this, the corners of her eyes and eyebrows were a little more flustered, she was still so young, she was finally reborn and returned to the world, and she was about to rely on hard work to change her fate, she really didn't want to die.

Even if he dies, he has to be by Lu Li's side.

An Xiabai felt the sharp pain in her abdomen, and felt that she could be willful before the ghost gate closed, so she said to the maid: "You go and ask your husband to come back." ”

Seeing Lu Li, she may be able to feel more at ease.

Somehow, Lu Li at the banquet felt empty in his heart, and he was very uneasy about this: "Lord Wang, if you have something to say, you don't need to sell it here." ”

He finally couldn't help but confess to King Li.

The sudden words intrigued King Li, and he immediately dismissed all the dancing queens and Rakuhime, even his own henchmen.

"This king can understand General Lu's feelings, after all, his wife is pregnant with Liujia, and he is a man who wants to go back to be by his side."

Lu Li said gratefully: "Thank you for your understanding." ”

"Since you have something to do at home, I'll make a long story short," King Li's finger tapped lightly on the table, and said with a smile, "This king hopes that you can serve this king in the future." ”

Lu Li knew that he was trying to win him over, so he deliberately pretended to be stupid and said: "Lu Li will definitely live up to the expectations of the prince." ”

"That's not what I mean by effectiveness, Lu Li, you're a smart person." King Li didn't want to say it too bluntly, because that would make him appear to be vicious, so he said to Lu Li in euphemism as much as possible, "You don't seem to have anything to rely on in the court, and you have been placed in such an important position by the emperor, there will definitely be many people who want to grab your handle and pull you down in the future." General Li has an appreciation for you, and he will definitely help you at first, but he will not stay in the capital for long after all, why do you think you will be able to gain a firm foothold in the capital at that time? ”

Lu Li was silent, and this attitude made King Li have something to say: "If you are unwilling to be grabbed by someone and dragged down, it is best to gain a firm foothold in the court, and the good birds choose trees to perch, you should understand this truth." ”

King Li picked up the wine jug, personally stepped forward to pour a full glass for Lu Li, and said with a smile: "This king thinks that he is the best good wood you can choose." ”

Lu Li smiled secretly in his heart, but his face was not obvious, he deliberately pretended to be a martial artist, and said with a puzzled face: "Why did the prince say this?" ”

"Because although there are many princes vying for power and throne in the capital, most of them will not make friends with people who have not even stood firm on their heels, there are too many sons from military generals in the capital, and there are many talents, you can't be ranked at all, if not, the princes have already come forward to talk to you when the dynasty was dispersed." King Li lowered his voice and told Lu Li that the only one who appreciated him in the capital was himself.

If Lu Li is really a reckless man from the military camp, it is estimated that he will really believe what he said.

"In this way, Lord Wang, you are indeed my only choice in the capital." Lu Li said resignedly, "Okay, I will join the name of the prince in the future, and I am willing to go to the soup for you, but before that, I want to ask the prince to do me a favor." ”

Lu Li promised to follow him, not to mention a favor, even a hundred and ten, King Li was willing to agree: "What do you want?" ”

Lu Li opened his mouth to speak, but before he could speak, he heard messy footsteps outside the door, and then a guard pushed the door in and knelt down on one knee to report: "There is a maid who wants to see General Lu, saying that there is something at home and wants to report." ”

In just one sentence, Lu Li's heart lifted: "Let her in." ”

The guard agreed, and after a while, he brought in a young girl, whose face Lu Li recognized, was the person who was waiting by An Xiabai's side.

"What's wrong with ma'am?" Lu Li asked anxiously.

"Madam, she's going to give birth, general, go back quickly." The maid had a cry in her voice, obviously not joking.

Lu Liteng stood up from his position with a thud, but he didn't forget to turn his head to look at King Li when he was anxious.

The latter was also looking at him, and said with slightly fascinated eyes: "Since there is an urgent matter at home, you can go back first." ”

Nothing is as important as An Xiabai's life, Lu Li's heart is crossed, and he went straight to the mansion after saying goodbye to King Li.

When he returned home, An Xiabai's door was tightly closed, and there were maids carrying a basin full of blood to and fro.

"Madame!" He shouted at the door, meaning to tell An Xiabai that he was back, and he wanted to push the door in, but he didn't dare.

An Xiabai heard his voice and subconsciously wanted to speak in response, but couldn't say a complete sentence.

No wonder people always say that giving birth to a woman is equivalent to taking a trip before the ghost gate, it really hurts, not only the pain under the body that seems to be torn, but even the throat hurts badly.

She didn't have the strength to scream.

An Xiabai's voice shouting in pain gradually weakened, Lu Li pricked up his ears outside the door to hear clearly, because of the first time he encountered this situation, he was really scared in his heart, so he pushed the door directly and rushed to An Xiabai's side.

An Xia's pale face on the bed pierced his heart, and he hated to let the pain transfer to himself: "Don't be afraid, madam, I'm here." ”

"It hurt.....s," An Xiabai said in a daze, the tearing pain making her dizzy.

The tears in her eyes were really seen by Lu Li, and she put her hand to her mouth and said softly: "If it hurts, bite me." ”

Tears slipped from the corners of An Xiabai's eyes, she really didn't have the energy to feel sorry for Lu Li, so she opened her mouth and bit down, biting Lu Li's wrist until she saw blood.

Lu Li didn't cry out for pain from beginning to end, his eyes fell on An Xiabai tightly, as if he wanted her appearance and the pain she experienced at this moment to remember.

The child in the womb did not land until the evening, because it was a twin, and because An Xiabai was weak and had a difficult birth, he lost half of his life after this toss.

But fortunately, the children are very healthy, even if they are less than a month, they are two big fat boys, An Xiabai was lying in Lu Li's arms, with a shallow smile on his pale face: "Fortunately, I survived." ”
