After Shu'er bid farewell to King Zhao, he disguised himself and walked slowly, quietly passing through the Song Kingdom, and returned to Anyi on the shore of Chu River within a month.

Yan Xiao, Zhao Qi, Su Yang, Su Liu, Yan Qing, Yan Xiu and others arranged the county palace very properly. Zhao Qi, Su Yang, and Su Liu often traveled back and forth between Chu and Song, and had already done a lot of business, and all the money they made was hidden in the basement of the county king's mansion.

Although the Hou Dongfang of Anyi is still young, whether it is official documents or military affairs, all the piles and piles are handled quite quickly, and there is no matter how big or small, there has never been a mistake.

When Shu'er stepped into the mansion, Dongfang Shou happened to come back from the military camp outside the city, so he shouted at Shu'er's back: "Sister, you are back!" ”

Shu'er turned around, only to see that his younger brother had become thinner and taller, so he smiled tiredly: "The son's wings have grown stiff, and when he sees King Anyi, why don't you hurry up and salute?" ”

Dongfang walked quickly to Shu'er, and when Shu'er raised her head slightly, she suddenly felt that her brother had grown taller than her. Dongfang was rarely serious, and said worriedly: "Why did you run from Xiling to Yudu again, and it took so long to come back?" King Song's ...... As long as you nod your head, I will immediately lead the troops to kill the jade capital and abolish him on the spot!" ”

Dongfang saw that Shu'er didn't answer, so he had to ask again: "I heard that you are pregnant with a child, can your body still eat?" ”

Shu'er said with a smile: "When I was in the Song Kingdom, I disguised myself all the way and went to many medical centers, and all the doctors said that my body was fine, and the fetus in my womb was also very strong. If you don't feel at ease, then go and find a reliable doctor for my sister and me. ”

Dongfang chou immediately clenched his fists: "Obey the order of the king of Anyi!" After that, he was about to turn around and go out of the house to seek a doctor, when he heard another person say: "Master Hou still don't go in person, I'll go to the woman's business." "It's Yan Xiao.

Yan Xiao stepped forward, shook Shu'er's hand, and couldn't help but redden: "You have been pregnant for a long time, but you are still so skinny, and you don't see roundness at all!" Since you're back, you are not allowed to go anywhere, stay in the house and raise the baby in peace, you know? The people in the house are carefully selected by us, and your diet and daily life are all taken care of by me, Yan Qing, and Yan Xiu, and you will not let others interfere, so you can rest assured, don't worry too much, just get up early and go to bed early every day, and nourish more. ”

Shu'er nodded frequently, and was about to interrupt Yan Xiao's nagging, but Yan Xiao had already let go of Shu'er's hand: "I'll go and invite you to invite the best doctor in the city to come over." ”

Shu'er shook Yan Xiao's hand again: "I'm tired of Aunt Yan inviting a few more doctors, it's best to make a big show and let everyone know that King Anyi of Chu is pregnant with King Song's child." With the current power of the King of Song and the situation of the Chu State, there must be no Song State and no Chu State person who dares to harm the child in my womb. ”

Yan Xiao thought for a moment and asked, "What about the old people of Qi Wei Chen Shu?" You married the King of Qi in Zichuan, and the allied forces of the four countries are obvious to all. Now that the King of Qi is gone, but you are pregnant with the child of the King of Song, aren't you afraid that the old people of the Four Kingdoms will come to kill the child of the King of Song if they can't kill the King of Song? ”

Shu'er waved his hand absently and said, "If I hadn't exchanged my life back then, the Four Nations Alliance would have been buried in the southern suburbs of the Jade Capital. Not to mention that they owe me more than one life and two lives, and they will not come to poison my child, let's just say that now the allied forces of the four countries have all gone out of Jinyang Pass with the King of Shu, threatening to cross the desert and destroy the Rong people and wolf divisions in one fell swoop. ”

When Yan Xiao heard this, he relaxed his heart and went out of the house to ask for a doctor for King Anyi.

Shu'er has only rested in his mansion for less than three days, and has already seen ten famous doctors, all of whom say that the fetus is stable and not very worried. The fact that Dongfang Shu, the king of Anyi, was pregnant with the flesh and blood of the king of Song, has spread throughout the Chu State since then.

Shu'er wanted to ignore the things outside the window and concentrate on raising the fetus, but at dinner this day, she received an urgent letter sent by the king of Chu. The letter is written in Shu'er's handwriting, and there is no payment, and at a glance, you can see that it was written by Lin Ying

Kyushu is warm in spring, and the desert is in a hurry.

The allies have not yet arrived in Wolf City, and the king of Shu has fought a thousand horsemen alone.

Not an inch of grass does not accept the blood of heroes, and there will be no sword idiots in the world from now on.

Invite Qing to return to the Zhaohuang Palace, and share the old knowledge of the Su sacrifice.

……

After reading it, Shu'er was stunned.

The king of Shu fought a thousand horsemen alone...... There will be no sword idiots in the world from now on?

Obviously, not long ago, they had met in a hurry in the White Jade Palace......

Dongfang saw that Shu'er's expression was different, so he put down his chopsticks and asked, "What did Your Highness write?" ”

Shu'er frowned: "The King of Shu led his troops out of Jinyang Pass in the west, and before he arrived in Mobei Wolf City, the allies encountered an accident, and the King of Shu ...... Killed on the battlefield. His Royal Highness invited us to return to Linjiang to hold a ceremony for the Four Nations Alliance and His Royal Highness the King of Shu. ”

Dongfang said calmly: "Actually, I heard about this matter in the barracks a few days ago, but I was afraid that you would be sad, so I didn't let anyone tell you." With the current relationship between Chu and Song, the Song State has not yet had any reaction to the death of the King of Shu, and if His Royal Highness preemptively preempts the Song State to hold a big sacrifice for the allied forces of the Four Kingdoms, wouldn't it be a blatant provocation to the Song State? I didn't think His Highness would do that, I really don't know what he wants to do. ”

Shu'er asked, "If the current King of Chu is you, will you hold a grand ceremony for the Four Nations Alliance and His Royal Highness the King of Shu?" ”

Dongfang thought for a moment, nodded and said, "Yes." ”

Shu'er asked again, "Then why shouldn't your cousin go to this ceremony?" ”

Dongfang replied: "Because my cousin is playing a cowardly King Chu who is afraid of the Song Kingdom, he holds a sacrifice, which is not in line with the role of a coward he plays. If I am the king of Chu, I am not afraid of the Song State, and I will naturally hold a big sacrifice for the allied forces of the four countries that arrived in the Song State. ”

Shu'er said: "You don't seem to have an accurate understanding of the role played by the King of Chu today. He is not playing a coward, but a fool. Cowards are just cowards, and cowardly people can also calculate everywhere and take every step of the way. But fools are different, fools don't know right and wrong at all, and do everything willfully. If you are the king of Song, is the king of your neighbors a coward or a fool, and can you let your guard down? ”

Dongfang suddenly realized, clapped his hands and smiled: "Brother Lin is really smart!" He held a big sacrifice for the Four-Nation Alliance, but it can show that he is not only stupid and lustful, but also stupid! In this way, King Song must have relaxed his vigilance against our Chu State even more. Brother Lin is really in place, very in place! ”

Shu'er wondered: "When will you get along with Your Highness like this?" Haven't you always been dismissive of his cleverness? ”

Dongfang coughed, and said stiffly: "I am seeing the sages and thinking together, and there is no end to learning!" He only played a few tricks, but some of the tricks that were so clever could he learn once in a while. ”

Shu'er said: "Then let's leave for Linjiang early tomorrow morning." ”

Dongfang was about to nod, but suddenly shook his head: "You go, I won't go." If the Song State wants to attack our Chu State, Anyi County on the shore of the Chu River is a battleground for soldiers. His Royal Highness left me in Anyi, and even when you led the troops to aid Zhao, he didn't let me go with him, because he valued my general's talent and secretly asked me to guard the Song State here. ”

Shu'er couldn't help but sneer: "Your general's talent? Why didn't I see it? ”

Dongfang snorted and muttered, "I didn't make it up, it was Brother Lin who said it to me personally when you weren't there." ”
