Chapter Eighty-Five: To Each His Own Safety
Ji Yisheng carried a bunch of tree trunks and branches, and it was rare that he walked without hurrying, without taking a breath, and put down his things when he walked to the yard, and then continued to move.
Qianqiu propped up curiously and looked at it: "What is the senior brother planning to repair?" ”
Ji Yisheng's voice came from afar: "What I liked when I was a child." ”
When they were both young, Xiao Qianqiu tugged on the sleeve of the senior brother and said with a runny nose: "Senior brother, I want to go out to play." ”
At that time, when I first came to Xionghu Mountain, I naturally couldn't walk too wildly. Ji couldn't die, so he took Qianqiu to build a simple shed for her in the woods behind the village, hung bamboo toys, and laid soft straw.
"If you wait here until sunset, my brother will bring you baked sweet potatoes back."
Qianqiu fell in love with the small tree shed at that time, and every time her brother went down the mountain, she stayed in it honestly, slept a good night's sleep, and woke up with baked sweet potatoes to eat.
Now that she has grown up, she likes baked sweet potatoes and can buy a lot of them herself, but watching her brother carefully build a tree shed little by little, Qianqiu sniffed and felt a little nostalgic.
It is said that pregnant women are very sentimental, so she is not ashamed to say that she wants to cry now, right?
The doctor said that he would take care of the emotions of the pregnant woman, and Ji Yisheng was reluctant to lock Qianqiu in the house and be depressed. Just build a shelter in the courtyard to protect her from the wind and snow, if she is stuffy, she can come out and stay, and she will not catch a cold.
When he was a child, he built a tree shed at random, and it was repaired quickly, and it was completed in an hour. However, now Qianqiu's body can't be casual, he fumbled for a long time, and then asked Uncle Iron Fist to help, inside and outside for three hours, before the gazebo was tightly surrounded with branches, and then hung a gauze curtain, laid a thick and soft carpet, moved the stone table and stone bench, and replaced it with a large chaise longue.
This is simply a luxurious upgraded version of the house when I was a child, and Qianqiu happily jumped into it, and found that this high-end tree house was really not very airy, the branches and leaves were tightly entangled, and there was a feeling of warmth.
"Senior brother, I'll stay here honestly for a few months now, will someone come to pick me up?" Chiaki asked softly.
Ji was stunned for a moment, frowning slightly: "You still miss him?" ”
Qianqiu came back to her senses and smiled embarrassedly: "It's not like I'm reading, I'm just wondering if I will feel a little regretful when the stone is a little sober." Knowing that I'm gone, will I chase after me? ”
Ji Yisheng shook his head: "Qianqiu, he is the emperor." ”
"I know, I know, it's just talking, you don't have to care." Qianqiu laughed and laughed, her eyes fell on her senior brother's hand that was miserably scratched by the branches, and hurriedly said, "Aunt Li, give medicine to senior brother." ”
"Hey." Aunt Li hurriedly went to get the medicine, and the Iron Fist Master next to her looked at Ji Yi's life for a long time and sighed. The infatuated baby, Qianqiu alone can't see his mind, and the rest of the people, including the big boss, are afraid that they all know it.
The 100,000 troops of the Great Jin Dynasty had slowly approached the national capital, and Situ Jin was also ready to face the battle. Situ Xiuxiu felt that the victory was in her hands at first, but along the way, the soldiers around her were constantly replaced, maybe she hadn't seen Ji Qianqiu's shadow for a long time, she was a little panicked, and asked Chu Yue.
"I have already arrived at the boundary of Wu State, and I will be in the national capital in half a month, what is the general's arrangement?"
Chu Yue smiled and said, "Isn't there still the power of the 200,000 army of the Wu State on the Queen Mother's side?" Plus we have here, 300,000 is just enough to resist Situ Jin's 300,000 army, isn't it enough? ”
Situ Xiuxiu frowned, she is a woman, so naturally she doesn't know how to march and fight, but Chu Yue said this, isn't it too easy?
I wanted to send a message to my mother, but the letter went out, but there was no reply. Situ Xiuxiu had no bottom in her heart and wanted to see Ji Qianqiu.
"Queen Mother, our master vomited for a long time just now before he fell asleep, the mother has something, and the slave can convey it on her behalf."
Lily stood guard at the door, saluting her respectfully.
Situ Xiuxiu glanced into the room, it was black and pressing, and occasionally there was a cough. Ji Qianqiu must also be in a bad mood, after all, it will fall into her hands, and she is not in a hurry at this time.
After being reassured, she continued to go back to rest, asking people to find a way to contact her mother.
"Honorable Empress Wu, see you in Pei Yutian." Pei Yutian bowed down to the seat, and his face was full of honesty.
He and Chu Yuebing split into two routes, and Chu Yue continued to march slowly, trying every means to find Niangniang's whereabouts by the way. He hurried up, took the elite soldiers, and first arrived at Fengcheng, near the national capital.
The palace was controlled by Situ Jin, and the Empress Wei could only evacuate with heavy troops, occupy Fengcheng, and wait for an opportunity to move against the national capital.
Seeing that Pei Yutian came first, the queen was half happy and half worried, and asked, "How is Xiuxiu?" ”
Pei Yutian said with a smile: "The queen of our country has just found out that she is pregnant, and she has been very happy recently, thinking that it should be the dragon son she was pregnant with when she left Luoyang, and Chu Yue is letting people take care of her in the past two days." ”
"Pregnant?" Wei was taken aback, the last time she came back, Xiuxiu also complained to her that the Emperor of the Great Jin Dynasty refused to touch her, why did she just ... Just let her get pregnant?
"The emperor is very happy, and has ordered an additional 100,000 troops to protect the queen. The child on Concubine Ji's side is also useless, and the son conceived by the queen mother will definitely be the emperor of Wu in the future, and he will always be married to the Great Jin Dynasty. ”
Pei Yutian said that his face was not red and his heart was not beating, anyway, no one can verify it now, he is not afraid of this Wei family's suspicion.
Once Situ Xiuxiu is pregnant, then there is no need for other precautions. Wei and the rest of the advisors breathed a sigh of relief. Pei Yutian pondered for a moment and said: "Now that the queen is pregnant for the first time, the army's itinerary will naturally be delayed a lot. Does Niangniang plan to wait for the queen of our country to arrive before acting, or do she make arrangements first, relying on the reinforcements of the Great Jin in the rear, and fight Situ Jin first? ”
Wei glanced at the general Li Dadao next to him, Li Dadao frowned and said: "Regarding the matter of attacking the national capital and recovering the remains of the saint, the general may wish to discuss with us for a few more days, now it is also his own people, with the help of your troops, we can naturally change our tactics and win a little more beautiful." ”
Pei Yutian arched his hand and said: "I am not talented, but I can also help the general one or two, it is better to talk and laugh with the general tonight, and talk about our thoughts by the way." ”
"Very good." Li Dadao bowed his head.
Wei was a little happy, but at the same time a little skeptical. She can't contact Xiuxiu, what if this person is lying to them?
"By the way, the queen of our country still has a letter to convey on behalf of the minister, she has severe morning sickness, and it is not easy to write a letter, please take a look."
Pei Yutian had already prepared, took out the letter from his sleeve and handed it to Wei.
Wei's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked the palace maid next to him to take it, and when he opened the letter, he saw that it was really Situ Xiuxiu's handwriting.
"The queen mother, her daughter has been pregnant for more than a month, and she has been favored by the Emperor of the Great Jin Dynasty, and the overall situation is already in control. Although the queen mother cooperated with Pei Yutian, she first won the national capital, and when her daughter was extremely supreme, she would never forget the covenant with the queen mother. ”
There was no deviation in the tone and handwriting, and no one else knew about the appointment with him, Wei believed it, relieved, summoned Li Dadao to step forward, whispered two words, and asked them to ask Pei Yu to go down and rest.
"Stone, there's a bird's nest in the tree outside, I'll dig you out the eggs to eat!" Qianqiu smiled at him, revealing two small tiger teeth.
He frowned: "No, you have a body, you can't climb a tree!" ”
Qianqiu's face sank, turned around and ran.
"You wait for me!" He was in a hurry, and hurriedly chased after him, but found that he couldn't catch up no matter how much he chased him: "Qianqiu!" ”
The lively and jumping shadow gradually disappeared, and he chased after it desperately, but he didn't leave her behind after all. I stumbled over a stone under my feet, and I woke up gorgeously.
"Chiaki?"
The yellow curtains, with a golden dragon embroidered with five claws, were quiet and there was no one around.
Han Ziji's head was covered with cold sweat, and he sat up slowly, a little dazed.
"Your Majesty?" Junko's father-in-law pushed the door in and handed over the handkerchief and tea: "Have a nightmare?" ”
The emperor pursed his lips, drank tea, wiped his sweat and sat up: "It's okay, I still have things to deal with." ”
Coming out of the dormitory behind the Taiji Palace, Han Ziji picked up the fold and continued to read it.
Father-in-law Shunzi said with some distress: "The emperor has been too tired recently, and he has only slept for an hour, how can his body stand it?" ”
"Then let's arrange some delicious food for lunch, I like to eat meat."
Shunzi muttered a few words, but didn't dare to say it after all, so he could only retreat and stand outside the door with a long sigh.
He didn't know what he was sighing about, but the emperor made the lunch extra sumptuous every time, and there was all kinds of meat. But he didn't eat much, just stared in a daze.
The mind of the saint is getting harder and harder to guess.
Chu Yue searched for half a month, but to no avail, he could only return to the saint, Ji Guifei's whereabouts were unknown, and he left people in the same place to continue looking, and the rest of the people were going to follow to the capital of Wu Guoguo.
Pei Yutian discussed the siege of the city with Li Dadao and others in this half a month, and his tactical words made a group of generals very admired, coupled with the permission of the Wei family, Pei Yutian has taken the soldiers of Wu State to attack the city on a small scale several times, although he did not think about a breakthrough, but looking at the effect, Pei Yutian is indeed a good talent.
So when he received the news that the reinforcements were about to arrive in Fengcheng, the Wei family made a decision to let Pei Yutian take command and lead an army of 200,000 to attack the city.
Situ Xiuxiu was under house arrest, and by the time she reacted, she could no longer contact the outside. Chu Yue left her in Qishui, which was far away from Fengcheng, and sent troops to guard her, but she did not see the light of day.
When Chu Yue arrived in Fengcheng, he said to the Wei family: "The empress of our country is unstable, and she doesn't dare to continue to hurry, so she can only send heavy troops to protect her to raise the fetus." Another handwritten letter from the mother was forwarded. ”
It was another handwritten letter from Situ Xiuxiu, the content was written word for word exactly what Chu Yue said, and Wei did not suspect it, because now Pei Yutian and his people were fighting with the guards of the national capital, and they had the upper hand every time. Empress Wu is very happy, this look, the dawn of victory is ahead!
