At the beginning of the lanterns, the palace was full of ministers and guests. As soon as Concubine Zhao, who was wearing a nine-bearded fairy bun, appeared, everyone immediately got up and congratulated her. Compared with the Beichen Palace, which is full of anointed candles, the small town in the south of the city, which has only a dozen candles, looks extremely deserted.

The Mi family is burdened with huge debts, if it weren't for Xiong Jing's different treatment of Mi Xuan, especially if Mi Xuan soon became pregnant with an heir, the Mi family might be ruined by the debt collectors. I heard that Mi Xuan was pregnant, and then I heard that she was pregnant with the eldest son of the king of Chu, and the maritime merchants who had previously collected debts once again stepped on the threshold of Mi's family, this time it was not debt collection, this was to ask Mi's if he wanted to borrow money again. owes a huge debt of more than 10,000 gold, even if he borrows again, he is very restrained, and it is still the Mi Xuan of the Mi clan who saves everywhere, and the candle flame in the room is a little dim.

"The king said that you should not eat too much during the month of childbirth, so as not to make the child too fat. Why don't you just want to eat more now, but before I was anorexic. Mi Xuan's face was not small, but her face gradually became round after pregnancy, and she was a little annoyed under the candle fire in the face of a few good dishes.

"The king also said that my sister should eat as much as she wants." Many of the nephews who married married were married, and the not beautiful Mi Ni stayed. She also ate fat with Mi Xuan - boiled fish fillet, braised pig's trotters, fish-flavored shredded pork, sweet and sour tenderlo......in, cooking technology and rich condiments after 2,000 years, who can refuse the delicacies of later generations?

"The king said that the heavier the child is born, the better." Gege laughed twice, and Mi Ni said again. "My sister gave birth to the eldest son of the king, and the slut of Zhao State in the palace was about to cry again when she heard it."

The wives and concubines of the king in the palace, except for the maiden who has not yet reached the end of the year, the rest of the daughters are barely comparable to Ying Nan in Mi Ni's opinion, and she regrets that she did not ruin Ying Nan's appearance. As for the punishments he received, they are really not worth mentioning.

"You are not allowed to ......, ah!" For Mi Ni, Mi Xuan is distressed, but she doesn't like her to call Ying Nan a slut of Zhao State. No matter how Ying Nan says, he is also the queen of Chu, and the queen mother and concubine Zhao are also Zhao daughters, and the sluts of Zhao are equivalent to scolding the queen mother and the queen. Unfortunately, she let out a sigh before she finished speaking, her hand on her stomach, and her face slightly distorted from pain.

"But you're going to give birth?" It's time to give birth after calculating the time, Qi Ni didn't panic at all but was a little happy, she was going to be an aunt. "Yi Yin, where is Yi Yin? Rapid medical Yin. ”

Qi Ni hurriedly looked for the doctor Yin, but she didn't think about the house, and she said unexpectedly: "The Queen Mother summoned the doctor Yin into the palace yesterday, and she has not returned yet. ”

"Why don't you return!" Mi Ni was really anxious, and she immediately shouted: "Call the female doctor quickly." Come! Quickly enter the city to summon the doctor Yin. ”

Xiaoyi Li doctor Yin, the belt doctor, and the witch doctor are all prepared, and the reason why Mi Ni wants to summon and leave is just due to inertia. In fact, it is surgery that is strong, and the experience of delivering babies is not as good as that of witch doctors. When a pregnant woman has a difficult birth, the magical witch doctor calculates the direction and turns the pregnant woman's head and feet in one direction to become a natural birth, which is the case with Dou Qin's mother in the Sui Dynasty.

Qi Ni rushed to the outside of the hall and shouted at the witch doctor, and the voice under the stairs spoke loudly: "The doctor Yin will not come, and the queen mother will ......."

"Who?" A familiar voice came from the bottom of the stairs, but this voice could not appear in Xiaoyi, and Qi Ni hurriedly jumped down.

"Zhao Country Slut ......" Under the stairs is really the queen Yingnan, Mi Ni couldn't help shouting, and felt that she was dreaming.

Ying Nan was supported by two guards armor, and his forehead was covered with beads of sweat. She didn't care about Mi Ni's rudeness, but said: "The queen mother wants to kill Mi Xuan, and orders more than 2,000 Zhao pawns to come along the river, I'm afraid that at this time, at this time, it is ......."

Ying Nan Khan was raining down, and it was extremely difficult to speak. Even if she felt confused, she couldn't bear to ask, "How is it at this time?" ”

"I'm afraid I'm already outside the city at this time..." After Ying Nan finished speaking, she fell, and it was only then that Mi Ni saw a feather arrow stuck in her vest.

"This is, this is ......" Qi Ni was speechless, and couldn't figure out what was going on. The attendant said: "Several chariots chased after the queen, and now they have been killed by their subordinates. If what the queen says is true......"

"Zhao country slut! Zhao Guo slut ......" Qi Ni couldn't help muttering in panic, but fortunately, she regained her composure after a while: "Where is General Zhuang and General Zhuang?" Where is Mi Tong, Mi Tong? ”

The one-eyed general's Zhuang Qujian did not go to Fangcheng, but stayed in Xiaoyi. Then there is Mi Tong, who is also a beginner general, with more than 200 Mi artillery soldiers under his command. Mi Ni asked these two people, and the pawn commander hurriedly said: "General Zhuang and Mi pawn commander are already in the artillery position after hearing the news, don't worry, the son-in-law." However, the queen was seriously injured by an arrow and needed urgent medical treatment. ”

Ying Nan is a queen no matter what, and the queen can't ignore it. When the chief confessed, he couldn't help but worry that Mi Ni had a grudge against the queen, and he was very worried that Mi Ni would kill Ying Nan.

"Give me the sword." The words of persuasion were still on the lips of the pawn chief, and Mi Ni wanted his sword. He was still suspicious, and Qi Ni had already drawn his sword. The pawn wanted to grab the sword and was thrown away by her, but the blade of the sword did not stab Yingnan vertically, but cut horizontally on the shaft of the arrow, and Mi Ni just wanted to cut off the shaft of the arrow.

"Son-in-law, son-in-law Renya." The pawn unconsciously wiped a handful of sweat, just now he was really worried that Qi Ni would stab the queen to death with a sword.

"I'm not a slut. Don't take advantage of others. Qi Ni threw away the arrow shaft angrily, and glared at the pawn commander angrily. At this time, there was a shout of 'Ni'er, Ni'er' from the room.

"Sister, if the doctor Yin doesn't come, the slut of Zhao State will send two thousand Zhao pawns to kill my sister, I am afraid that Zhao pawns have already arrived outside the city." Mi Ni didn't hide it at all, and when she saw Mi Xuan, she told her. Zhao Guo...... The queen came to report the news and was shot by the Zhao people. ”

"Huh?!" The shock made Mi Xuan forget the pain for a while. She knew that the previous slut of Zhao State was talking about the Queen Mother Concubine Zhao, and it was Concubine Zhao who wanted to kill herself, and then Ying Nan came to report the news. "Where is the queen and queen?"

"I have asked people to be healed, but I do not know whether I live or die." After answering, Qi Ni talked about Concubine Zhao, "That slut is very evil. ”

"You are not allowed to ......" The pain-relieving Mi Xuan wanted to warn Mi Ni not to call Concubine Zhao a slut, but just like just now, she was interrupted before she finished speaking. Outside the yi, there was a sudden 'boom' of cannons, and the whole small yi was shaking.

"Boom, boom......!" The sound of the cannon was not one, but several, and the fetus, which was gradually resting in the womb, became violently restless again, and Mi Xuan couldn't help the pain and began to shout loudly. The witch doctor on one side hurriedly groped under her crotch. When she touched the wet amniotic fluid, she also became a little panicked, "It's raw!" I'm going to give birth!! The son-in-law is about to give birth ......"

Xiaoyi was about to give birth, and Sima Mao, who was dressed in black outside Xiaoyi, stood on the boat that raised the water, looking at Xiaoyi who was gradually extinguishing the lights and was a little confused. He, like the rest of the Zhao soldiers, had not yet recovered from the voyage of more than 3,000 miles. Assassinating the favorite concubine of the King of Chu, Mi Xuan, when Pingyuan Jun told him about it, he couldn't believe his ears.

However, the matter is indeed true, the order came from the Empress Dowager of Chu. They will not enter the Chu realm as Zhao pawns, but will complete this task as Qin people with weapons and armor in their hands. As for the after-the-fact ......, except for a few generals, most of them did not have an after-the-fact experience. Afterwards, the wife and the clan will benefit from this.

The shape of Xiaoyi Sima Mao has been looked at countless times on the map. It's just a small town with a circumference of five or six miles and a height of two feet and four feet. There were only four soldiers of the Chu army stationed there, but there were only 1,000 people. It is not difficult to capture such a city, and by surprise, it may be captured overnight. However, the cannon suddenly rang out, and it was only then that he realized that Xiaoyi had arranged artillery. What puzzled him the most was: Zhao Zu didn't get close to the cannon before it sounded, could it be that those cannons were arranged outside Xiaoyi?

Artillery is a sharp weapon in the world, and the Chu army relied on artillery to attack Guanzhong and pull out Xianyang, but no one has ever heard that artillery can defend the city. The continuous sound of cannons means that there is not one, but more than a dozen cannons in Xiaoyi, how should such a city be attacked?

"General Yu," said in a panicked voice, after all, this is the Chu State, and the Chu capital is ten miles away. "There are more than a dozen artillery pieces in the city, and our army is not allowed to enter!"

"Where's the artillery?" Sima Mao asked calmly. "Why did you hear the sound of cannons before you reached Xiaoyi?"

"There, there... There is a big trench! "It was a military academy who came to report, at the beginning, Zhao Zhao could still determine the location of Xiaoyi by the light of the city, and as he walked, his feet suddenly emptied, and the person fell into a large trench with its width. They had expected that there would be sharp wood in the moat, but fortunately there were none. There is only shallow water in the moat, and it is difficult to walk in the mud in the shallow water soaked in the moat. Everyone didn't go far in the trench, and the command of the Chu army sounded on the opposite side of the trench, followed by the sound of cannons.

"General, the Chu people are prepared, our army must not attack." After the military academy talked about his experience in a fit-on, he immediately gave his own advice. "The Chu people are the alliance of our country, why am I, why am I ......?"

Sima Mao can be persuaded, but others may not. It's good to attack the Qi State, but it's better to attack the Chu State. This act of ingratitude was extremely puzzling to the soldiers involved in the operation.

"Just honor the king's order!" Sima Mao's eyes widened, stopping what the military academy was going to say.

"The villain thinks that the fortification in the north of the city may be able to attack the south of the city." The strategist beside Sima Mao suggested. Artillery cannot be ignored, but artillery is valuable, and how many artillery will there be in Xiaoyi?

"Herald! Storm the south of Xiaoyi. Sima Mao thought the same in his heart, there was no city that could not be captured, he believed that it was impossible to have equipment on all sides of the city, it was impossible to have artillery on all sides, and there were always weak points.

The rumbling cannon sound resounded through Xiaoyi, and naturally it also reached the Beichen Palace, where singing and dancing were flourishing. This sound is very weak, but the sound of cannons is like thunder, Nao Cunning, Zhao Huang, Guan You, Ele ......, these people have heard the sound of cannons even if they have not been on the battlefield, Ele is the first to stand up, and then Nao is cunning.

"Where are the cannons?!" Nao looked at the outside of the court slyly, with a serious face.

The feast, singing, dancing and singing were at their climax, and E Lenao's cunning actions were surprising, and the music stopped immediately, and the sound of the cannon became clearer when the music stopped, and the sound of the cannon also stopped after a few sounds.

"It's just winter thunder, why should you panic." Don't let me get half drunk, he couldn't help laughing when he saw that everyone was stunned.

"The so-called winter thunder, this is thunder, this is obviously the sound of cannons!" Ole was in a hurry, and after reprimanding me, he wanted to call someone. One step faster than him, Concubine Zhao on the chairmanship put down the wine lord and shouted: "Someone! ”
