At the beginning of October of the fourth year of Jingzhi of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Jingling County, Jiangxia County, Jingzhou!

At the beginning of October, it was already winter in the Great Zhou, and the first snow of the year had already ushered in Youzhou in the far north of Xinjiang, and even in Jingzhou, which had a pleasant climate, the weather had quickly cooled.

The change of monsoons in late autumn and early winter is obviously not so cold, just a little cool, but this change of monsoon is the culprit that makes people cold and cold, so it is difficult to get sick.

Because of this, Jin Ling'er left Jiangling with her eldest grandson Xiangyu, who was pregnant in August, and took the little girl Wang Xin to Jingling County in Jiangxia County, and found a secluded house in the city, so that the eldest grandson Xiangyu could recuperate in peace.

Originally, the most suitable place for the eldest grandson Xiangyu to give birth was undoubtedly the Shangshu Xie Mansion of the Criminal Department in Jijing, but the problem was that the eldest grandson Xiangyu had been pregnant for eight months, even if she was pregnant for ten months, she only had two months left at most, and it was too late to return to Jijing from Jiangling, after all, the carriage that the pregnant eldest grandson Xiangyu was riding would never be able to rush at full speed.

What's more, Jin Ling'er can't rule out whether the eldest grandson Xiangyu, a woman with weak bones, will have a premature birth, so at this time, she can't stand the pain of the bumps in the carriage and horses, and Jin Ling'er, who is proficient in medical skills, knows this very well.

It can be said that the eldest grandson Xiangyu is almost approaching the day of her birth, and because of this, Jin Ling'er placed her in Jingling County, Jiangxia County, after all, Jingling County is the border between Nanyang County and Jiangxia County, the closest to Jiangling, and it is close to the Xiangjiang River.

Of course, this is a measure of last resort, under normal circumstances, Jin Ling'er doesn't want to let the eldest grandson Xiangyu endure any more bumpy and hard work, she has even forbidden the eldest grandson Xiangyu to move at will, ordering the latter not to stay without permission, and what's more, so harsh that even if she turns over, she must ask Jin Ling'er's consent to turn over carefully with her help.

I have to say that such precepts, which are several times stricter than grounding, are simply a kind of torture for the active eldest grandson Xiangyu. But for the sake of the child in the womb, the eldest grandson Xiangyu could only grit his teeth and insist.

What's more, Jin Ling'er said that if the eldest grandson Xiangyu was not well-behaved and restless, she would knock her unconscious at any time, or directly tie her limbs to the bed with a silk silk, so as not to disturb the fetus in her womb.

So, the only thing the eldest grandson Xiangyu can do is probably to chat with Jin Ling'er to relieve her boredom, after all, even her folding fan that never leaves her hand has been confiscated by Jin Ling'er.

"It's so boring・・・・・・ Sister Ling'er, can't you call a few girls who sing to let your sister listen to a little song?" Pouting, Sun Xiangyu lay on the bed and complained with a complaining face.

"Rest! ――Don't you understand? Jin Ling'er moved a chair over and sat at the head of the eldest grandson Xiangyu's bed, looking at her posture, most likely planning to monitor the eldest grandson Xiangyu for twelve hours a day.

At the end of the bed, the little girl Wang Xin hugged Jin Ling'er's daughter Nini, coaxing with a smile, according to her generation, she can be regarded as Nini's sister-in-law.

glanced at the niece in his arms, and then at the eldest grandson Xiangyu's high bulging lower abdomen, the little girl couldn't close her mouth happily, just like the excitement of the eldest grandson's grandson's grandson, Changsun Sheng, when he learned that his own sister eldest grandson Xiangyu was pregnant with his brother-in-law Xie An's flesh and blood.

"I don't know what the situation is on my husband's side......" The eldest grandson Xiangyu's beautiful eyes blinked, looking at the ceiling pitifully. Although she also knew what it meant to recuperate, it was difficult for her to be completely quiet and not think about anything.

After all, the smarter a person is, the more thoughts circulate in his mind, and it is difficult to achieve the so-called calm mind like water, let alone a wise man like the eldest grandson Xiangyu. Don't look at her at the moment she seems to be very quiet, but in her mind, she simulates the fierce battle between Xie An and Li Shen, the King of Qin, thinking about the possibilities that will happen during this period.

It's a pity, if nothing else, even if the eldest grandson Xiangyu exhausts his life, I'm afraid he won't be able to be as calm as water, although doing this is very simple in Jin Ling'er's opinion.

Looking at the eldest grandson Xiangyu on the bed, who couldn't stop blinking his eyes and revealing a thoughtful look, Jin Ling'er shook her head helplessly, and reminded with a little blame, "Xiangyu, can't you stop the meeting?" Close your eyes and take a break? ―With Liu Qing on the husband's side, it stands to reason that nothing will go wrong, right? ”

may be talking about something proud, the eldest grandson Xiangyu raised a smile on the corner of his mouth when he heard this, when it comes to the contest between her and Liu Qing, it is definitely a thrilling four words, but everyone who knows is stunned by the process of the two of them calculating each other, and even Li Xian, the king of the eight sages, is secretly frightened.

After all, the eldest grandson Xiangyu and Liu Qing both used tricks when they calculated each other's next step, and they did it repeatedly, until the last moment, it was really hard to say who of the two would win.

But it is undeniable that today's Liu Qing is still inferior to the eldest grandson Xiangyu, and lost to the latter in the gap of one move, but although Liu Qing lost, her wisdom was recognized by the eldest grandson Xiangyu, Li Xian, Xie An, Liang Qiuwu and others. After all, this time, the eldest grandson Xiangyu was also forced out by her to take out all the hole cards, unlike when the eldest grandson Xiangyu attacked Luoyang, even after conquering the entire Luoyang, there were still tens of thousands of elites in his hands that had not yet been used.

How to say it, it can be regarded as a defeat but still honorable, after all, no one has ever forced the eldest grandson Xiangyu to such a point.

Because of this, after listening to Liu Qing's words of willingness to help, Xiangyu, the eldest grandson who was originally very worried about her husband Xie An, followed Jin Ling'er to Jingling without saying a word.

"Liu Qing・・・・・・ that girl is really capable!" Hearing Jin Ling'er's words, the eldest grandson Xiangyu nodded slightly.

"Huh? - Ci values her a lot・・・・・・ didn't she lose to you? "Jin Ling'er is quite good! glanced at Jin Ling'er, she knew the character of this roommate too well, it was hard to imagine that the eldest grandson Xiangyu, who had always been conceited, would respect Liu Qing so much.

"Victory or defeat, it's just a common thing in soldiers...... eldest grandson Xiangyu shook his head, and said with a straight face, "Sister, I am twenty-two years old this year, that girl is only fifteen years old, I am seven years older than her, she has seven years of experience, and she has seven years of knowledge, I can win her, it is really normal・・・・・・ if I am fifteen years old in front of her, I may not be able to win her...... With this woman by her husband's side, King Qin Li Shen shouldn't be a problem, not to mention Qin Ke'er......"

As soon as she heard the name Qin Ke'er, Jin Ling'er frowned slightly, and with a somewhat inexplicable tone, she whispered, "It's really a shame that Sister Xiangyu thinks so much about her husband and leaves this woman ......"

You must know that Jin Ling'er is good at medical skills, and she is a person from the past, so she can tell at a glance whether Qin Ke'er is still a chick, and even when Qin Ke'er has been secretly having fun with Xie An recently, you can guess that the ** eyesight of the ten is far better than Gou Gong.

Because of this, Jin Ling'er felt a little concerned about the eldest grandson Xiangyu leaving Qin Ke'er by Xie An's side, after all, Xie An's resistance to women's sex Everyone knew that keeping Qin Ke'er by Xie An's side was undoubtedly conniving at the two of them......

No, it's the connivance of that wild woman!

Thinking of Qin Ke'er's bewitching face, Jin Ling'er gritted her teeth hatefully, although she Jin Ling'er also has a bewitching appearance and figure, but there are always a few flaws on her face, which is not as good as Qin Ke'er's white and flawless appearance.

"Sister Ling'er is jealous?" The eldest grandson, Xiangyu, looked at Jin Ling'er with a smile.

Jin Ling'er is always the oldest of all the women, with the weight of the eldest sister, and when she heard this, she frowned and said, "A little bit, but it's more that I'm not worried about that woman..."

"Out of the way!" As if she had guessed what Jin Ling'er was thinking, the eldest grandson Xiangyu said softly, "Although she is not as good as Liu Qing, Qin Ke'er is also a smart woman who knows what she can and can't do, not to mention that according to her sister's observation, she has long been deeply in love with her husband, and she will definitely not do anything harmful to her husband...... As for my sister, the reason why I kept her by my husband's side was to ask her to assist Liu Qing, after all, according to my sister's guess, Liu Qing's grasp of the intelligence of various forces was not as thorough and detailed as Qin Ke'er's.........

"Guarding against Liu Qing?" Jin Ling'er's face changed slightly when she heard this, and she said in a tight voice, "Could it be that Liu Qing is deceitful in helping her husband?" ”

"No, no, no, that's not what you mean...... eldest grandson Xiangyu chuckled and shook his head, and suddenly asked Jin Ling'er, "Sister Ling'er, just think about it, why does Liu Qing want to help our husband?" ”

Jin Ling'er was stunned when she heard this, and blurted out, "Isn't it just for self-preservation?" ”

"No!" The eldest grandson Xiangyu shook his head, and said with Zhengse, "With Liang Qiuhao's relationship, our husband is bound to protect Liu Qing, and Liu Qing should also know this, since her life is worry-free, why should she bother to help our husband?" ”

"This ・・・・・・" Jin Ling'er shook her head thoughtfully and hesitantly.

Seeing this, the eldest grandson Xiangyu smiled slightly, lowered his voice and said, "It's very simple, Liang Qiuhao's death has changed Liu Qing's heart greatly, she is very likely to plan to destroy the Taiping Army to bury Liang Qiuhao, after all, if it weren't for the existence of the Taiping Army, Liang Qiuhao would never have died on the battlefield・・・・・・ and Wu Heng!" If what Liu Qing said is true, the scholar named Mo Yan is the descendant of the surviving Southern Tang Dynasty royal family, so it is not difficult to guess who robbed this Mo Yan......

"Wu Heng?" Jin Ling'er gritted her teeth and muttered this name, after all, when she was in Jijing, it was this person who sent three hidden arrows to her husband Xie An, two of which were knocked down by her and Liang Qiuwu respectively, but the last one hit Xie An's chest, which directly caused Xie An to recuperate in bed for several months.

There is no doubt that Wu Heng's gang has already been included in the must-kill list by Jin Ling'er, but she has never had a chance, after all, it is impossible for her Jin Ling'er to leave her husband and daughter behind, and go all the way to Jiangnan to assassinate Wu Heng from Jijing.

"Probably so!" The corner of the eldest grandson Xiangyu's mouth raised a somewhat inexplicable smile, and he giggled, "He led the Taiping Army with hard work, but in the end he was betrayed by his deputy commander, and the man he had a crush on was also killed because of the Taiping Army, and even, when he was dying, he missed his mother, not himself...... Liu Qing's hatred for the Taiping Army can be imagined! ―So, once some women get out of control, it's quite scary! Turning a face is faster than turning a book...... Sister Ling'er is looking at my sister like this, what am I doing? ”

"......" Jin Ling'er looked at the eldest grandson Xiangyu with strange eyes.

Aren't you?

For the grievances suffered by the biological mother Wang in the eldest grandson's family, I have always held a grudge against the eldest grandson's family, if it weren't for the thief to control you, maybe you would have done something!

If you are given a chance, you may in turn help the Taiping army to destroy the Great Zhou!

Are you embarrassed to laugh at Liu Qing? It's really fifty steps and a hundred steps of laughter!

As one of the insiders, Jin Ling'er secretly discussed in her heart, but her face did not show it, and she asked in surprise, "If Liu Qing is really like Xiangyu said, why does my sister want to guard against her because of Liang Qiuhao's death because of the Taiping Army?" ”

"It's easy! - Because Liu Qing's help to our husband is not just a whim, she just wants to gain the trust of her husband, and when her husband fights the Taiping Army in the future

can take her with him, so that Liu Qing can destroy the Taiping Army with his own hands and bury Liang Qiuhao! ―With the character of our husband-sama, what does my sister think is the fastest way for your lord to trust? ”!

"Naturally, it's ・・・・・・" Jin Ling'er suddenly realized, and glanced at the eldest grandson Xiangyu quite unexpectedly.

Yes, the fastest way to gain Xie An's trust is nothing more than to become his woman, just like Qin Ke'er before. In other words, the reason why the eldest grandson Xiangyu stayed with Qin Ke'er was by Xie An's side

The most important point is that if their husband-in-law gets angry, Qin Ke'er can help vent his lust, so that nothing will happen to Xie An and Liu Qing.

After all, in the eyes of the eldest grandson Xiangyu, in order to complete the goal of destroying the Taiping Army, it cannot be ruled out that Liu Qing will take the initiative to sacrifice himself in order to gain Xie An's trust.

Nothing is left unplanned......

Whether it's a state or family affair......

is worthy of being the most scheming and scheming among the sisters!

Jin Ling'er secretly praised in her heart.

"Sister Ling'er also thinks that there are too many women in the family, right?" Eldest Sun Xiangyu asked with a wink.

"That's right!" Jin Ling'er nodded.

At this moment, the two daughters reached a tacit understanding.

But what Jin Ling'er didn't know was that the eldest grandson Xiangyu kept talking about Liu Qing, so why wasn't she playing her own little abacus?

In the case that it was clear that Liu Qing would throw himself to Liangqiu Dance once he stepped into the Xie Mansion, how could Eldest Sun Xiangyu sit idly by?

Liang Qiuwu, who has courage and little strategy, is not to be feared, but if you add a Liu Qing whose wisdom is comparable to that of her eldest grandson Xiangyu, it will be troublesome......

You must know that her eldest grandson Xiangyu has not completely given up the idea of competing for the position of the Xie family's wife, the reason why she temporarily retreated before was nothing more than to see that Xie Anxin was going to Liangqiu Dance in the future, if her eldest grandson Xiangyu gave birth to a son smoothly, and Liangqiu Dance never came out, then the position of Xie family's wife must not be obediently handed over to her eldest grandson Xiangyu?

"Giggle......

Thinking of the wonderful place, the eldest grandson Xiangyu couldn't help but chuckle.

-- At the same time--

"Ahh

At the top of Nanling Mountain, Liu Qing sneezed coldly, and Xie An, who climbed high with her to peep at the reality of the rebel army, was stunned.

"Got a cold?" With a hint of concern, Xie An looked at Liu Qing suspiciously.

"No ・・・・・・" seemed to notice a little concern on Xie An's face, Liu Qing's eyes flashed a hint of color, and then pouted and said, "If nothing goes wrong, someone should be talking bad about me behind my back, right?" - For example, a woman with a big belly! ”

"Hey, it's superstition, isn't it?" Xie An shook his head with a smile, but he could also see that the eldest grandson Xiangyu and Liu Qing really didn't like each other, just like Liang Qiuwu and Jin Ling'er.

"The benevolent see the benevolent, the wise see the wise!"

“… ・・・Is it necessary to say so mysteriously? Xie An shook his head speechlessly, and suddenly frowned and asked, "Having said that, you seem to be quite keen on personally probing the enemy's reality!" - Wouldn't it be nice to leave this kind of thing to the scouts? Is it necessary to climb this South Ridge to see the reality of the rebels? ”

"Seeing is believing, hearing is false! ――The scouts report may not necessarily have what I want to know the most! Glancing at Xie An, Liu Qing said lightly.

"Yes, yes, yes!" Shaking his head, Xie An said angrily, "Then what did you see when you stood on the top of the mountain for half an hour?" ”

I saw Liu Qing's face was straight when he heard this, he looked at the distance at the foot of the mountain, frowned and said, "The military camp of Li Shen, the king of Qin, seems to be a little wrong......

"What?" Xie An's original intention of saying that he was satirizing Liu Qing, but he never thought that Liu Qing really saw something from the military camp of Li Shen, the king of Qin.

"Look there・・・・・・" Raising his hand into the distance, Liu Qing said in a deep voice, "As far as I know, Li Shen, the king of Qin, joined forces with the rebel army of the king of the Nineteenth Road Domain, with as many as 13 or 40,000 troops, but there is a large empty piece in the corner of his camp...... What does this mean? ”

"What?"

“… Glancing at Xie An a little speechlessly, Liu Qing reminded, "If nothing else, the vacant camp there should have been stationed with the rebels of the vassal king・・・・・・ does this mean that there are several rebels of the vassal king who have left this place for what purpose?" Speaking of this, Liu Qing pondered for a moment and asked, "Have you ever sent reinforcements from the Zhou Imperial Court?" ”

Xie An'an suddenly flashed the name of Li Cheng, the king of Anling, after all, Li Cheng led the Imperial Tomb Dragon Slave Guard to assist Li Xian, he had learned from the mouth of the eldest grandson Xiangyu, but it was not easy to reveal it to Liu Qing, after all, Xie An did not have any trust in Liu Qing.

Liu Qing obviously caught Xie An's momentary hesitation, but he didn't say anything, just said lightly, "It seems that your Zhou Imperial Court has indeed sent reinforcements・・・・・・ if nothing else, this support army is currently in the feudal kingdom of the vassal kings, right?" ―No wonder Li Shen, King of Qin, has hardly changed these days...... How? Isn't that right? ”

With Liu Qing's prompt, Xie An's eyes lit up, looking at the empty corner of the camp of King Li Shen of Qin, and fell into deep thought.

No wonder Xiangyu, who set off from Jijing after Li Chengbi, arrived in Jiangling, but Li Cheng did not arrive for a long time, and it turned out that he had swept away the nest of the rebels of the Nineteenth Route Domain・・・・・・

It's so ruthless!

Those vassal kings, in terms of seniority, can be regarded as his uncle and uncle Li Cheng, so they can also do it?

But then again......

“… Glancing at Liu Qing, who looked as usual, Xie An secretly let out a long breath.

Just from the vacant corner of Li Shen's army, it can be inferred that the imperial court must have sent reinforcements...

This talent for seeing the subtleties is ......

Sure enough, it's the same level as Xiangyu!
