The army was rectified at Qixia Pass for two days, and the stragglers of Nanzhao came to disturb them from time to time, and Qin Yan ordered the soldiers guarding the pass to only do nothing, and did not pay much attention to it.

"As soon as Gongzi Liang arrives, we should also wave our division south!" Qin Yan and Dongfang Fengjue stood side by side on the city wall, their eyes were a little more erratic, not as cold as before.

Dongfang Fengjue felt that Qin Yan was a little strange like this, "Feng Yan's 100,000 banner army can keep Wuling City safe, Gongzi Han has set up a heavenly absolute array at the west city gate, unless he himself has no one to solve it, it is also a natural danger barrier, and don't worry." ”

Both of them stopped talking, and the four eyes looked at the lush forest at the same time, and the family and country were a little heavier in their hearts.

Hua Xun has been raised for two days, and although his body is soft, he has long been able to get out of bed and move. It's just that Hualu was stricter, fed him some messy things from time to time, and yelled at his little face a few times, and he barely lay on the bed for another day.

Looking at the dark sky outside the window, I couldn't help but miss the sun and moon in the valley. Weiyang had already said that he would send his brother and sister to a beautiful paradise to avoid the troubled times, but he felt sorry for Weiyang and couldn't bear to stay away, and Hualu was a stubborn character, so he would not want to leave Weiyang, but he never thought that because of his soft heart, he caused an accident, and there was only a line between life and death.

Hualu's footsteps went downstairs, he straightened his robe, pushed open the door, and went upstairs to look at Weiyang.

Weiyang fell asleep with an open book, and Yu Ranqing looked up and went to cut her clothes. Now her belly is getting bigger and bigger, although the old robe is wider, it no longer fits, and Mu Qinghan discussed to buy some clothes, but after an hour, he let Wujiu bring back such a big pile.

Before leaving, he dropped a sentence: "You can also cut two pieces for me!" ”

Yu Ranqing blushed and lowered her head and muttered, "The robe on your body is exquisitely handmade, and I don't have such a good needle." ”

Who knew that he shook over again, "I don't care, I will only wear your cut in the future!" ”

Yu Ranqing looked at his back as he walked away for a long time, suddenly came back to his senses, and said to himself: Is he being coquettish with me? It's so sweet in my heart that I can't dissolve. rushed to make it overnight, and finally sewed two robes for Weiyang in one day and one night, which were still men's clothes.

Hualu shouted for another one, and Yu Ranqing pressed her down on the couch, "I'll teach you!" ”

An afternoon was spent in the flower dew every once in a while to cry and scold, "Woo, it hurts!" Hua Lu didn't know how many times she held her finger that had been pricked with blood by a needle for Yu Ranqing to see, and she smiled so much that she lay on the bed with her stomach in her arms.

The three of them laughed until after dinner.

"Qing'er, it's not too late for you to go back and rest tomorrow, the lights are dim at night, and your eyes are burned carefully." Weiyang leaned on the bed and talked to her.

Yu Ranqing didn't look up, and focused on sewing the soft silk robe in her hand, "One more sleeve will be sewn, and you can wear this loose one more comfortably." ”

Weiyang's smile stained his eyebrows, "Sister-in-law, if you don't go back to the room, maybe Brother Han will come to beg me in a while!" ”

Yu Ranqing really pierced a needle deep into her finger, and the blood gushed out at once, dyeing red and white, but her face was redder than the blood, and she threw down the needle and thread and trotted out.

Weiyang laughed and fell on the bed.

Wujiu came in and said in a low voice, "Young master, Gongzi Liang has entered the city." ”

"It's coming so fast!" Weiyang sat up with his clothes and pillows, "Close my doors and windows, and the people outside the city should come back after entering the watch." ”

Wujiu agreed, walked over and closed the windows.

Weiyang got up and walked to the hall, and Shen Luochen was in a daze under the lamp with a scroll in his hand. Hearing the footsteps, he hurriedly stood up and helped her sit on the chair, "I cooked sweet porridge, and I will serve you some to eat before sleeping." ”

Weiyang looked at his stomach speechlessly, rubbed the meat on his face again, seemed to be fatter than a few days ago, and lay on the table with a little bit of his little daughter's Lai Pi muttering, "I don't want to die of fat!" ”

Shen Luochen looked at her with gentle eyes, and also reached out and pinched the flesh on her face, "Where you die, you will die of fat, you have to eat it if you don't eat the baby, otherwise it won't grow big." ”

Weiyang held his stomach with both hands, and his watery eyes were shining.

Shen Luochen suddenly woke up, it turned out that she was so reluctant to give up the child in her womb, and asked her to have a miscarriage several times to save her life, but she just kept silent. If you do not refuse or respond, you will be treated as if you had not heard.

Originally, he really thought that as Hua Xun said, she had a ruthless Gu, and it was not only the love between men and women, but also family affection. But she was wrong, the light in her eyes at this time was really like a mother, so carefully guarded......

Shen Luochen is Shen Luochen, he is not sad because of this child of unknown origin, he will be sad and sad, but he will not let her know. In his heart, he only wished that she would always be well, even if she married someone else.

The two talked for a while, and Wujiu personally brought a bowl and a plate in.

Shen Luochen took it, put the porridge bowl in front of her, handed a small spoon over first, and then put a plate of rose petals pickled with flower dew over, and said softly, "This rice was brought back by Gongzi Han, you can taste it quickly." ”

Weiyang dug two spoonfuls, and only after entering his mouth did he say vaguely, "This rice is from Songjiang Mansion, and there is nothing unusual, but I am used to eating it, and I prefer this bite." ”

Devouring a bowl of porridge, Shen Luochen watched her stand up and walk back and forth with her waist in satisfaction, smiling and greeting.

Just as Weiyang yawned and went back to her room to sleep, a group of several people entered the Qingqi Winery, just as she expected.

Chu Jin, Jing Liang, Dongfang Fengjue, and Mu Qinghan sat down at a table, and Qin Yan stood alone at the window, his eyes out of focus and he didn't know what he was thinking.

After each of them said goodbye, Dongfang Fengjue told everyone about Lucheng, and they all sighed.

Chu Jin couldn't hide things in his heart, so he told Jing Liang everything that happened in this room a few days ago. Who knew that Jing Liang only nodded shallowly after hearing this, and was not surprised.

"I said big cousin, wouldn't you already know Dongfang's life experience?" Putting away the usual bit of cynicism, Chu Jin asked him seriously.

After a long time, I heard Jing Liang sigh, "Great rivers and mountains, those who want it can't get it, and those who don't want it have to ask for it, is this fortunate or unfortunate?" ”

Mu Qinghan half-closed his eyes and didn't speak.

Chu Jin had the heart to argue with him, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that it was right, and he still sighed unconvinced: "That's the honor above tens of thousands of people, why is it so despised by you prodigals in the rivers and lakes?" ”

"You are also surnamed Chu, if you are rare, how about I arch you to the top?" Dongfang Fengjue played with the tea cup in his hand, although he didn't look up, but everyone heard his helplessness.

Chu Jin suddenly exploded, "I don't want it, little prince, I believe in horses, so I don't go to the deep palace to guard that pile of vulgar powder, then I have to suffocate to death!" ”

Jing Liang took a sip of tea and hurt him: "You only have the ability to be a loser, how can you govern the country and the world?" ”

"The world has nothing to do with me, I just want to be my little prince, drink wine, enjoy flowers and see beauties!" Chu Jin had begging for mercy in his eyes, but he was talking nonsense.

Dongfang Fengjue put down the teacup in his hand, casually looked at the ice by the window, and said to his back as if he was deliberate: "I also think that the world has nothing to do with me, I am just the master of Qilin Villa, do what I want to do, do what I should do, and ask for what I want...... That's enough. ”

And all the people knew his thoughts, and no one answered.

"Even if one of the many princes can sit on the throne, I am willing to let go of all the hatred in the past and help him protect the foundation of his ancestors...... But now? When the Three Kingdoms besieged Chu, they didn't want to join forces to protect an inch of Eastern Chu from being lost, but their closest brothers killed each other, just to compete for the already stormy throne! Dongfang Fengjue's expression was sad, and his voice was low, "If I could choose, I would never want to be a brother and sister with him, nor would I want to be surnamed Chu." ”

Mu Qinghan patted him on the shoulder and sighed: "Although I don't believe in fate, there are some things that can't be escaped, and whoever has more responsibility in his heart will inevitably worry more." Dongfang, we are willing to work side by side with you to protect the safety of Dongchu, and I only hope that you can rely on the people of Dongchu for half a lifetime in the future, and will not suffer from the exile of the country. ”

No one spoke for a long time, and the atmosphere froze for a while.

Qin Yan retracted his wandering gaze, turned around and said in a cold voice: "The rivers and mountains of Eastern Chu are still in the hands of my generation, and even broken bones will not cause an inch of land to be lost, this is the dignity of the country, and it is also the foundation of the survival of Eastern Chu!" ”

Chu Jin took the teapot from the small stove and poured half of it and handed it to Qin Yan, it was very convenient, and he didn't have the slightest shelf as a little prince. "Now that the outstanding figures of the younger generation of Dongchu are here, what we should be thinking about now is how to contend with the soldiers of the two countries at the same time?"

Qin Yan took the tea cup and didn't drink it in his hand, looking at the tea with low eyebrows and stunned.

The four of them looked at him silently, looking at him in unison.

After a while, Qin Yan raised his head and glanced at the four of them, and slowly spoke: "Gongzi Liang's soldiers and horses remain in the city, and the soldiers who originally defended the city are merged into Gongzi Liang's army, and they are unified under the command of Gongzi Liang." ”

Jing Liang nodded in response, he knew that Wuling City could not be lost, half of the soldiers and horses could be reinforced, and the retreat could defend the city and fight with the Western Tang Dynasty.

Qin Yan made eye contact with him, knowing that he understood, before he spoke again: "That flag army should not move for the time being, just in case." After a pause, he said, "Zhao Yi has a lot of tricks, and there are advanced formations that complement each other, Gongzi Han, I can only work hard for you and Yan to go to the battlefield side by side!" ”

I have always heard that the Mu family has a protector army personally authorized by the ancestor emperor, and I think it should be in the hands of Mu Qinghan. Although he didn't know any of the people who commanded the flag army that day, such a good and brave army was worth ten. Although the Mu family is far away from the court, it has always been the object of Prince Yue and Chu Li, probably because of this strange army.

Mu Qinghan has a kind of power to calm people's hearts in his indifference, "The general doesn't have to be like this, he is born as the people of Eastern Chu, the country and the family, and he has the responsibility to do his best." A smile on the corner of his lips, with warmth in his arrogance, "Born as a member of the Mu family, I have been ready to go to the battlefield at any time since I was born, and everything is subject to the general's orders." ”

Qin Yan seemed to have a sense of familiarity in his heart, and he was so fast that he disappeared before he had time to explore.

"Qin Yan, what about me? Don't let me steam steamed buns anymore, you see my hair is burnt. Chu Jin looked angrily, as if he was saying that if you want me to steam steamed buns again, I will be like you are not finished.

Qin Yan looked at him coldly, "Steamed steamed buns and defending the city, you choose one!" ”

"You ......" Chu Jin gritted his teeth in anger.

Qin Yan finally looked at Dongfang Fengjue, "Dongfang, what about you?" ”

Dongfang Fengjue shook his head, "The Western Tang Dynasty will not send troops, and they will not attack the city or come to attack, although I don't know what he means, but I can't wait here." Nanzhao will not kill completely this time, how can he afford to disturb him three or five times when Dongchu is in ruins, I want to take his royal city to sacrifice the people and the country to sacrifice the Dongchu rivers and mountains! ”

In the two years of war, he has never been so impassioned as he is today, not for that high position, but for his surname Chu, and the people of a country need his protection.

Qin Yan looked at him for a moment and acquiesced.

Jing Liang suddenly said, "I'm going too, and I can't wait to see him come to court year after year." ”

Without waiting for Qin Yan to find him, Jing Liang opened his mouth first: "The general doesn't have to stop it, a few of us go to the battlefield side by side, how many legends will be left in the future generations, haha." Feeling his coldness but ignoring it, he continued: "I recommend one person to the general, this person's name is Feng Yan, he is the guard of Fengxiang Pass, Wen Taowu is slightly brave and strategic, and he is not known how many times stronger than his son. ”

Seeing that Qin Yan didn't object, he continued, "This is the soldier that Grandpa Dongfang and Grandpa Mu personally ordered for me, with him, even if Tang Feng of the Western Tang Dynasty comes to attack, he will definitely not take advantage of it." ”

"Why have you never heard of such a good general?" Qin Yan didn't believe his words.

Jing Liang put away the joke and touched his chin, "If you want to talk about the shortcomings, it's that he is more shy, and he blushes even when he says a few words to his maid, which is very interesting." ”

Mu Qinghan raised his head and glanced at the two people who were talking casually, but only glanced at it and then withdrew his gaze and drank his tea quietly.

Jing Liang opened the door, explained a few words to the personal guards guarding the door, and turned back to ask everyone, "Drink, Zhuangxing?" ”

Qin Yan passed by him with a cold air, and Chu Jin shouted a few times that he shouldn't be, and went straight out.

"Senior brother!" Shen Luochen shouted Qin Yan in front of Weiyang's door, and he couldn't see his emotions lightly.

Qin Yan stood still, his eyes uncontrollably looked at the hall with half a door open, and his heart trembled slightly, "Luo Chen, is she okay?" His voice was slightly hoarse.

Shen Luochen nodded, "Do you want to go in and see her?" I haven't slept yet. ”

After settling down, Qin Yan stepped in from the half of the door that was open behind Shen Luochen, and for some reason, he was a little apprehensive.

"Hey, whose house is that, and who has such a great ability for Gongzi Yan to see for himself?" Chu Jin was very curious, and he was about to follow in as soon as he slipped through the smoke.

Dongfang Fengjue didn't hold it, and the person had already arrived at the door.

Shen Luochen stretched out one arm to block the door, "Little prince, please stay!" ”

"Yo, Shen Gongzi, you don't want to linger with Gongzi Weiyang, why are you blocking the master, get out of the way!" Chu Jin smiled sideways and was about to go around his arm.
