Chapter 77: The Imperial Expedition

The man in black shook his head, as if to shake off the fleeting thought, and spoke again, but his tone was much softer than before.

"I finally lived in Peach Blossom Dock, and it was a rare time to get close to the king, why are you so confused? Not only did he not take the opportunity to win the favor of the king, but he moved out again? ”

"What is it that she is pregnant, and I don't know if she can come into this world with that child! What's more, this palace is also pregnant, this time you have to learn a lesson and keep a low profile, or move back to the Manna Hall It is not easy for people to find out. ”

Unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, Jiang Li also seemed to be a different person, like a general who was about to go to the battlefield, and put on a thick battle robe again.

"What? Are you pregnant? When the man in black heard this, he was obviously a little excited, "That's better!" The last time the Lord learned that your child had been miscarried, she was very sorry, but she said that if you get pregnant again, starting a second plan is more meaningful than your current task. ”

"Oh? What does the Lord mean? ”

"For the time being, you don't need to know, the current priority is to take care of the baby, if necessary, let your carrier pigeon receive the task, go back in the cold!"

The whispered conversation between the two, drowned in the sound of the wind and the song of the night birds, drifted away in the treetops with the wind, and the man in black also jumped lightly, and before Jiang Li could see clearly, he had disappeared into the dark night.

Jiang Li walked out from behind the rockery, and Chun Tao not far away hurriedly greeted her, and the surroundings were quiet, and the two walked for a while before returning to the house.

In fact, Jiang Li moved out of Taohuawu and did this too much, because Xi Fei was pregnant, and it was too late to hide from Qingjing, where would she bother her.

And for several days in a row, King Chu Wen seemed to be very busy, and the time to go back to the Xiang Pavilion every day was getting later and later, and even the time to accompany Xi Fei was getting less and less, let alone going to her Jiang Li.

It turned out that one day not long ago, the frontier messenger hurriedly came to report, saying that the people of Zhongli Country in the east of the territory had repeatedly come to steal the crops that were about to be harvested in the fields of the people of Chu State, and the border soldiers were repeatedly banned.

When King Wen of Chu heard this, he was furious, and he was furious in front of hundreds of civil and military officials: "Even a small country dares to come to attack my Great Chu? It seems that it is time to show some majesty of a great power, otherwise, wouldn't it become a joke for the other surrounding countries that have long coveted the vast Chu State to follow suit? ”

Later, he summoned his younger brother, Ziyuan, who also served as the commander of the Chu State, Yang Junfeng, the great Sima Yang Junfeng, and the general Ouyang Jing to check the map of Zhongli Kingdom in the Mingluan Palace, analyze the terrain, discuss the battle plan, and lay out the battle process, intending to start a war against Zhong Liguo.

On this day, the discussion was finally almost over, and there was a small disagreement on the question of who would lead the troops, and King Wen of Chu decided to personally lead the troops to fight, while Ziyuan, Yang Junfeng, and Ouyang Jing all advocated that Ouyang Jing should lead the troops.

Originally, King Chu Wen could have handed over this matter to the generals Ouyang Jing and Yang Junfeng, but because there have been very few battles in recent years, and there are not many opportunities to take the initiative to attack like this, King Chu Wen wants to win and win the jackpot.

On this day, King Chu Wen finally persuaded everyone to decide to conquer Zhongli in person, and ordered Ouyang Jing to do his best to protect the safety of Concubine Xi's mother and son.

King Chu Wen returned to the peach blossom dock with red clouds, and after having dinner with Xi Fei in the Incense Pavilion, he helped Xi Fei, who was already pregnant with Liujia, out for a walk and walked on the small bridge where the hot spring river passed.

When the curtain is thin, the breeze is blowing, and the pink petals of the peach blossoms are leisurely flowing down the river in the unhurried river, like a beautiful woman, extremely beautiful, and very pleasant.

Standing in front of the statue of the Heavenly Maiden scattering flowers, King Chu Wen put one hand around Xi Fei's fragrant shoulder, and the other hand gently stroked Xi Fei's obviously bulging abdomen.

"Madam, if you are not by your side, can you take care of yourself and your children?"

Xi Fei was stunned in her heart, did the king know that Jiang Li was designing a frame for herself? He looked sideways at King Chu Wen behind him.

"What does the king say about this?"

King Chu Wen took advantage of the situation to kiss Xi Fei's smooth cheek, hugged her, and raised his hand to the far east.

"There is a small country in Zhongli in the east, although the country is small, but it is always restless, and repeatedly goes to the border to steal the crops that the people still grow in the ground, and harass my people of Dachu, I have to go and give them some color to see."

When Xi Fei heard this, she couldn't believe that King Chu Wen was a person who would repay him, so she turned around and looked up into his eyes in confusion.

Could it be that they have less land and more people, and they don't have enough food? In this case, just send the general, just send the general, just a small country, why should the king go out in person? ”

"Madam, you must be thinking, why are you so stingy, right?"

Xi Fei squinted her eyes and pursed her lips and smiled slightly, without words.

King Chu Wen understood Xi Fei's thoughts from the subtle changes in her facial expressions, and he tilted his head and looked at Xi Concubine with a smile in his eyes.

"Madam, you're right, on the surface, this matter is indeed just a trivial matter, and it's not even worth mentioning, it seems that Buhub's doing this is a bit exciting, but you also know that the embankment of a thousand miles is destroyed in an anthill, let Buhub tell you a story!"

"Okay, the concubine listens!" Xi Fei snuggled gently into the arms of King Chu Wen, smiled lightly and looked sideways at his face, her fingers as delicate as mutton fat brushing his beard.

"It is said that a shepherd who had hundreds of sheep at home, and one day he noticed that a plank was loose on the fence of the sheepfold, and he just looked at it, and did not care, and after two days, he found that the plank that had been loose before had fallen off, and a small hole appeared in the fence, but the shepherd still ignored it, and after another day, there was another plank missing from the fence, and the hole was correspondingly larger. But he did not do anything, for he felt that there were no less sheep, but that very night the shepherd found that one of the sheep had been taken away by wolves. ”

"The king is saying that this man lost his sheep before he came to mend the sheepfold, right?"

"If he knew that he had learned a lesson, the key was that he did not make up for it, but he was lucky, thinking that it was just that the wolf was hungry and temporarily ate one of his sheep, anyway, there were many sheep in the sheepfold, so another day passed, and when it was dark, he did not expect to come to a pack of wolves, surrounded his sheepfold, at this time he thought of mending the fence, but it was too late, the ferocious wolves came like a flood, and his already broken fence was lifted, and the sheep were eaten to nothing."

"The king, the concubine understands what you mean, you are using this story to explain to me the truth of border defense, the people at the border pass are sheep at the moment, and Zhong Liguo is the hungry wolf, if the king does not deter them, other countries that are looking down on Chu will evolve into a pack of wolves."

"Madame is really smart, and she understands the meaning of not being able to make a hub when she hears it." As he spoke, King Chu Wen kissed Xi Fei's smooth and delicate face, and let her lean against his chest and continued:

"I have weighed the question of who will go on the expedition for a long time, and there are two advantages to going out in person: first: depending on the situation, if necessary, if it is not possible, it will be recovered; Second: This is the first time that my Da Chu has dealt with foreign invasion, and I must return triumphantly, only succeed, not failure, let Bu Hub go to make a sample first, and it happens to be a meeting gift for children who have not yet met. ”

After speaking, King Chu Wen squatted down, and gently caressed his head and face against Xi Fei's abdomen.

"Look at the king's meaning, it is that his mind has been decided and his ambition will be won, then the king can rest assured, and the concubines are waiting for the king's triumphant return!"

"Thank you, ma'am! You see, our kid also agrees with the meaning of the hub, he is high-fived with the hub! ”
