270 Familiar Figures (and Updates.)
Mrs. Jian looked at Jian Feng worriedly and asked, "Son, after Xiangxiang, have you ever liked other girls?" ”
Jian Feng shook his head: "Where do I go to like someone, Xiangxiang likes it very much, I don't have that mind for a long time, and I am like a brother to her." ”
Mrs. Jane said earnestly: "Son, if you have a girl you like, you must tell your mother, your mother is really not at ease with you, God knows what stupid things you are going to do, you say that you are so decent, what do you do for Pang Qianyou's silver?" You went back and liked other people's girls, but you scared people away, when will your mother be able to hold her grandson? ”
Jian Feng said anxiously: "Mother, be quiet, don't let your father hear." ”
At this moment, Jian Kaiwen came out of the door and called out to his son, he was frightened, but Jian Kaiwen didn't hear these words, but ordered: "The Mu family wants to sacrifice and sweep the garden mausoleum, you prepare some incense and let Jian Feng send it." ”
Jian Feng hurriedly said: "Xiangxiang also wants to leave the palace and go back to the palace for two days, maybe go together, I won't come back in those days, and there is no man in the palace to take care of it." ”
At this time, the clear sky was suddenly covered with dark clouds, and the sky was cold and exploded with spring thunder, Mrs. Jane's mother and son hurriedly entered the house, turned around and a spring rain fell one after another, Mrs. Jane stood in front of the door and watched the rain hit the ground, and said to herself: "This day has changed, but it has changed." ”
The father and son glanced at each other behind them, understanding each other, calculating the days, Qi Hui should be at the border.
Sure enough, in this spring thunder, the border war was rekindled, Qi Hui led the army to attack the enemy non-stop, so that they were caught off guard, I thought that Qi Hui pressed the formation to come, it was necessary to make some adjustments according to the terrain and battle situation, and there was a careful battle plan to attack, but I didn't expect the army to stop at all, and the hurricane swept in, so that the carried away enemy army was hit hard. When the enemy had to retreat down the mountain, Muqing Pang Shifeng seemed to fall from the sky, and the soldiers of the various armies attacked from two ways, the blood stained into a river, and the corpses were all over the field, and the enemy and I were all killed, forcing the enemy to have no way to retreat after being blocked, and had to hide back in the small city that had been slaughtered by him, occupying a few thin city walls, and using bows and crossbows to resist the attack, but also survived.
And in those two days, Qi Hui and Mu Qing Shifeng converged, and learned that they deliberately released false news to make the enemy underestimate the enemy, although they were annoyed that they even hid themselves, but they were also glad that they did not live up to Shifeng's expectations, after all, if Qi Hui did not lead the army to come, they would use the remnants of the army to fight, and they would only sacrifice in vain, and now the situation has changed dramatically, and after three days of fierce fighting, the victory of the army is in sight.
After the news of their survival was sent to the capital, Mu Qing handed over the army to Qi Hui and Shifeng, and General Wang led people to transport several artillery pieces to the foot of the mountain. Qi Hui personally led the elite soldiers to sneak into the city, and found that there were still people in the city, and the number of enemy troops was large, and the food in the city could still last for half a month, so he brought Qi Hui back and discussed with Shifeng and the generals whether to wait for half a month for them to run out of ammunition and food, or force them to invade and force them to surrender, after all, after half a month, the people who remained in the city would also starve to death.
Defend this city, ascend for ten days and half a month, the army can win without a fight, but the starvation in the city will inevitably go crazy, and when they enter the city again to collect and surrender troops, they may even hate the people of their own country, and they don't care about the hatred, but if there is a riot, it is likely to give the enemy a chance to escape from the chaos. And Qi Hui also found that the enemy army collected all the grain and grass in the city, carefully raised more than a dozen war horses, and it is likely that several leaders will flee on horseback at the last moment, people can be hungry, but horses can not be hungry.
As the days went by, Shi Feng and Mu Qing were still alive and led the army to join Qi Hui to fight back the enemy, and it was transmitted to the capital, and that day Shen Yan was still in the palace with Xi Niang religiously preparing sacrifices, listening to the hurried footsteps, these days the grass and trees are both soldiers, both of them have a tense face, but seeing his younger brother running in like a gust of wind, Shen Yan's heart is about to jump out of his throat.
Jian Feng rushed to her sister and stuffed her with a letter and said, "Pang Shifeng's letter, sister, Pang Shifeng's letter to you." ”
Shen Yan was stunned, and what she was looking forward to day and night came to her eyes, but she didn't dare to believe it.
Jian Feng panted and said: "I received good news this morning, not only did we win the battle, Shi Feng and Brother Mu are fine, they deliberately hid to let the enemy army take it lightly, hiding in the mountains and forests that may collapse at any time, and waited for Qi Hui to lead the army to converge." ”
Shen Yan finally took the letter from him, before it was unfolded, tears were already raining down, Jian Feng smiled stupidly, persuaded her sister to be happy, and inadvertently saw Xi Niang on the side, Mu Qing was okay It was also a great joy for her, but Xi Niang's joy was so suppressed, she lowered her head and prepared the sacrificial things, and her reddening eyes betrayed her seemingly calm emotions.
Shifeng's letter was very simple, he wanted Shen Yan to cherish it, and when he returned, with just a few lines, Shen Yan read it countless times, and the letter paper was about to be crumpled, and suddenly remembered, and asked Jian Feng: "Over there in Pang Mansion, has someone informed you?" ”
Jian Feng said: "The news has spread all over the capital, we won the battle, I guess Mrs. Pang should know, but I didn't send someone to inform me." Sister don't worry, the eldest of their family is still there, and there is no shortage of people in the family. ”
Shen Yan bowed, but had to worry: "Qianyou still hasn't found it, where did she go, no matter how big the capital is, it is limited, is it hidden." ”
The sister and brother were talking, but Xi Niang gradually couldn't control her emotions because she was thinking about Mu Qing, so she excused herself to go out to breathe, and left first, sure enough, as soon as she left the house, tears slid down, but she had a smile on her face, knowing that Mu Qing was still alive and well, she was happier than anyone else. But how to continue her life in the future, Xi Niang is confused. Mr. Mu's kindness made her feel as if she had a family to rely on, but she couldn't harm such a good family, and she would inherit it in the future, and the legendary family was mixed with such an unbearable woman, but I was afraid that the children and grandchildren would hate her as a grandmother.
Xi Niang lowered her head and looked at her stomach, and smiled bitterly: "I don't know if I can survive or not, where the children and grandchildren come from." "Everyone is not young, Mu Qing is thirty years old, and he can't wait for a year after marrying her after marrying her, and only when he can't see hope can he consider taking a concubine to marry a small heir, at that time, it will be painful.
Xi Niang shook her head, she had to be firm, it was enough to know that Mu Qing was fine, and she didn't have to worry about other things.
At this time, someone brought outsiders in, it was to send the sacrificial things customized by the Mu family, Mr. Mu went to worship and sweep the Mu family mausoleum this time, and it was bound to revive the Mu family's courtyard, so even if it did not accept foreign guests, it would be very grand, Xi Niang said to put the things away first, she would go to check with Miss Shen, and then watched those people carry large and small sacrifices and walked over, when Xi Niang turned around, she felt that some of those people were very familiar, but when she turned around, there was nothing special.
Just as Jian Feng ran out, he said to her with a smile: "Xi Niang, do you want to send a letter to Qi Hui and tell her that you are taking care of Mu Shibo." ”
Shen Yan came out and smiled softly: "If my sister has anything to say, I'll write it." ”
Their kindness naturally hoped that Xi Niang could say something to Mu Qing, but Xi Niang never mentioned Mu Qing, and simply told Qi Hui to take care of herself, saying that Xiangxiang was okay or something like that, and after she left, Jian Feng pouted her cousin and said: "You change two sentences, I have never seen anyone as awkward as the two of them, and I am in a hurry." ”
Since then, the good news has been frequent, the whole capital is festive, and the queen and Princess Shuo are becoming more and more sought after. At the suggestion of Mr. Mu, they kept a distance from all parties, not wanting any faction to gather at this moment, and they also had to stabilize the dynasty and wait for Qi Hui to come.
But these days, the atmosphere of the capital has almost returned to the liveliness of the previous peaceful years, no longer the rumors and trees, the streets are becoming more and more lively, and the guards of the various gates of the capital are not as strict and terrifying as before.
Xiangxiang came out of the palace and returned to the palace, and what she saw along the way made her feel at ease. Even if they were going to move the capital to build another palace in the future, she hoped that when Qi Hui returned, he would see a scene of prosperity and tranquility.
When Xiangxiang arrived, the family was waiting in front of the palace, and the once empty house was now full of vitality again, Xiangxiang's belly was bigger, but it was hidden in the dress and couldn't be seen at all, but Shen Yanxi Niang treated her as a Buddha, one left and one right carefully supported, and Juan Er reminded Mrs. on the side to be careful of the steps and be careful of the stones underground.
Xiangxiang couldn't cry or laugh: "I'm in the palace, I haven't been served like this, you are too careful, this child is very reliable." ”
That day, Jian Kaiwen and his wife also came to get together with their little daughter, and they had a happy meal, and at night Shen Yan and Xi Niang were with Xiangxiang inch by inch, and the three of them slept together on the broad bed, and the sisters had endless words, and tomorrow morning, they were going to leave the palace to go to the Mujiayuan Mausoleum.
A peaceful night, get up early the next day to wash and prepare, Xiangxiang took off the princess's gorgeous clothes, and wore simple and solemn clothes, Xi Niang and Shen Yan were dressed like this, when the sky was bright, all the people in the house left, surrounded by a family led by Mr. Mu, and went out of the city to the Mujiayuan Mausoleum.
The sound of wheels and horses' hooves in front of the door gradually disappeared into the early morning mist, and the sporadic few people left in the house checked everywhere, and then they all rested and planned to go back to sleep, in the house of Xiangxiang and Qi Hui in the main courtyard, but a figure flashed coldly, she looked into Xiangxiang's house, locked the door, first walked to the bed, dragged the bedding on the bed on the ground, stepped on it with feet with mud marks, and his eyes were hideous, and he couldn't wait to step on the person who had been hugged and slept.
Suddenly, her eyes flashed, she walked to the cabinet where Xiangxiang's clothes were stored, pulled out all kinds of dresses and skirts, spread them all over the ground, picked out a bright red shirt, and wore it on her body.
