Chapter 66 yao yao
Xue Zhen led his troops out of the city. From afar, under the light moonlight, Ji Bochuan only took more than a dozen cavalry and horses to fight with the invading bandits.
At this time, the snow was getting bigger and bigger, but a thin layer fell on his silver armor.
Because it is necessary to leave more people to guard the city, the number of people and horses is limited, and the soldiers behind Xue Zhen himself are not much more than Ji Bochuan.
Although the enemy is a scattered deserter, there are also 70 or 80 people and 4050 horses. They were also wearing the armor of the Northern Gold Army, and the knives, axes and halberd in their hands were all regulated by the army, shining cold cyan light under the moonlight and snow.
"One against two is not a loss." Xue Zhen smiled softly and didn't forget to look back at Yulang, "Are you afraid?"
Yulang shook his head, "My brother-in-law doesn't have to worry about me. I will take good care of myself."
Xue Zhen nodded, "Nei both of us can make a mistake."
Yulang agreed, gently pinched the horse's belly, jumped into the battle, pulled out a green front, and hit it fiercely on the head of the person who was attacking Jibochuan with his companions.
Xue Zhen didn't feel happy when he saw that he was so brave, and he also entered the battle. He happened to hear Ji Bochuan praise Yulang, "Oh, boy!"
Yulang did not answer, but his sword made it more exquisite. He stabbed, chopped, cut and picked almost in one go.
When the enemy saw someone supporting him and saw that Xue Zhen and Yulang were good, he was a little afraid and took action even more fiercely.
In fact, Ji Bochuan has a good way to lead the army. With the strength of his father and son, he has been guarding Yuyi for several years. His neighbors dare not invade. In addition to being afraid of the timely support of the "guard army" not far away, there are also reasons for fearing the father and son of the Ji family.
The Beijin people are wild and fierce, and their physique is naturally more robust than Dayun's soldiers. At present, Ji Bochuan's soldiers do not fall behind.
When the enemy's head saw this situation, he quickly raised his voice and shouted a few words in words he didn't understand.
Xue Zhen and Yulang were stunned. When they looked at Ji Bochuan, they saw him smile, "Do you want to run away? Where is it so easy?"
Xue Zhen only saw the green qi under his seat flash by, and he had already chased the deserter. He felt bad and shouted, "General Ji, beware of fraud!"
There was no reply, only the snow falling like smoke under the moon with the horse's hoofs.
One day passed, two days passed, and on the evening of the third day, Shen Xuanji still didn't wait for Xue Zhen, and she had a vague premonition in her heart.
She called Mother Hua, "Ash, ask Mr. Yun to give orders to the soldiers guarding the city, close the gate, and prepare everything according to wartime. Tell the people to go out less. If the prince doesn't come back for a day, he will take better care of the door one day. No matter which family it is, it is.
Mama Hua took the order and left, and Lan Qing helped Shen Xuanji sit down, "Princess, the prince and Yulang..."
Shen Xuanji waved her hand to tell her not to say, "They will be fine. Now the children in my belly are the most important. You must pay attention to them."
Lan Qing felt that she was a little impathetic, but she didn't know what she was thinking in her heart.
There was a miserable wind and cold moon in the nine king's mansion, and only one person was ecstatic. She sat in the darkening room, holding a small doll in her hand. The doll was made simple, with several lines on its nose and eyes, white and miserable on its face, with a string of birthday and eight characters, and several steel needles pierced in the abdomen.
Lan Zhen gently stroked the doll, "He's gone, and you have no one to protect you. Do you want a child? My child is dead, who will pay for his life?
She muttered, and a crazy and chaotic look flashed in her eyes from time to time. She pulled out a needle and stabbed it down fiercely, "Go to hell, Shen Xuanji!"
Xue Zhen's life and death are uncertain, and Shen Xuanji's heart beat wildly as soon as he thought about it. At this time, she also seems to feel the uneasiness of the child in her stomach. She was so uncomfortable that her face turned white, and her forehead and temples were sweating. She sat firmly on the couch with her stomach and forced herself to calm down.
"You have to be strong!" She said to herself, and also to the child, "Only when you are strong can you wait for his good news."
The first person to come back was Ji Bochuan. He took several scattered soldiers and almost broke through the gate. It was dark, and the soldiers guarding the city couldn't see the people clearly, so they heard him scold him loudly. As the soldiers hurriedly opened the gate, it was strange that although General Ji was impatient, he rarely cursed so angrily. When the gate was opened, Ji Bochuan rode like the wind. He quickly came to the Nine Kings' Mansion and knelt down in front of the door. "Princess, the last general is stupid. I want to die!"
Shen Xuanji listened to the subordinate's report. Although he was anxious, he was afraid of hitting the child in his abdomen. She held Mother Hua's hand and walked steadily to the front.
Ji Bochuan felt more and more guilty when he saw the ninth princess with a slight bulge in her abdomen. He lay on the ground and said, "The last general is stupid, but I beg the princess to punish him."
Shen Xuanji's voice trembled, "How's the prince?"
"The last general chased the thief and didn't want to be trapped. The prince and the young master of the Shen family were trapped in the Mangshan Mountain in order to save the last general and soldiers. Now, they still don't know their whereabouts.
Shen Xuanji only felt dizzy, but was helped by Mother Hua and Lan Qing who caught up. Mangshan knew that it was not far from the city, but it was extremely dangerous. Now it has been snowing heavily for several days, and she is afraid that the way out of the mountain has been blocked. Xue Zhen and Yulang, even if they don't die, don't know when they will come out. They leave in a hurry, and their reserves are probably not enough.
Seeing Shen Xuanji's tears on his face, Ji Bochuan felt more and more that his sins were beyond writing. He knelt on the ground, untied his sword and held it to Shen Xuanji, "Ninth Princess, please kill me!"
Shen Xuanji wiped away her tears, "If I kill you, my husband and brother will not come back."
"It's winter now, and I'm afraid that the bandits around are extremely vicious. Such things will happen in the future." She took a deep breath, "General Ji is a soldier of the country. He should not only tell me Shen Xuanji. What you want to protect is the people of Qiyi."
Ji Bochuan didn't expect her woman to be so cold and hard at the critical moment. He was stunned, "But, my lord..."
Shen Xuanji waved his hand violently, which was a rude and interrupted gesture, "The prince is auspicious. With the protection of the gods, he will naturally return safely!"
Since then, Ji Bochuan has sent people to Mangshan every day to find the whereabouts of Xue Zhen, Yulang and other soldiers, but there has been no reply. Shen Xuanji is at home, except for raising the fetus. She dares not cry, nor dare not eat or sleep. The child grows up day by day in her womb. She can take her life as a bet, but not with the child.
This is her and Xue Zhen's child. Even if she dies, she will ensure his or her stability and health.
Ji Bochuan came back, and the atmosphere in Qiyi City was more lively. Mother Hua was also worried about Xue Zhen's safety, but there was nothing she could do but put all her heart on Shen Xuanji and the child. She was also depressed when she stayed in the house, so she came out and grabbed a few pairs of fetal medicine for Shen Xuanji.
What Shen Xuanji's entrance was taken care of by Mother Hua, Lan Qing and Qing. On this day, Lan Qing and Qing, Lan Qing were serving Shen Xuan in the room for dinner, and then Mother Hua came to the kitchen to decoct the medicine.
She sat on Xiaozi and looked at the warm fire. Somehow, she felt that her eyelids were sore. She remembered Xue Zhen when he was a child. His mother died young and has always been sensible. She remembered once that because the servant was careless, the Empress Dowager was annoyed and killed all the servants around him. Xue Zhen, who was only four years old, held her firmly, "I can't live without the wet nurse!"
That child, who was so pitiful, grew up and married in the most dangerous place. He was about to become a father, but he suffered another disaster.
M Mother Hua cried. I don't know when she was tired of crying and squinted for a while.
Or the lid of the medicine jar was awakened by the sound of steam. She suddenly woke up and patted her thigh angrily, "Why did you fall asleep?"
At this time, Lan Qing just came to the kitchen and said, "Is the medicine ready? Mother, thank you for your hard work.
Mother Hua didn't have time to think about anything more. She poured the medicine into the bowl and sent it to Lan Qing. She slowly walked out of the kitchen and stood in the yard, looking at the withered tree. I don't know when it would bloom again? This winter is really unbearable!
"Who?" Mother Flower suddenly turned around and saw a figure passing by quickly. Knowing that it was strange, she quickly chased after it and shouted, "Come on! There are thieves!"
Shen Xuanji took the medicine bowl and looked at the bowl of medicinal soup, which was not yellow or black, and only felt that lunch was pouring up one after another. "I'll drink it later."
Lan Qing shook his head, "The medicine will dissipate when it's cold. The princess should drink it while it's hot."
Shen Xuanji thought about it and reluctantly put the medicine bowl to his mouth. Just as he was about to drink, Mother Hua rushed in like crazy and knocked down the medicine bowl, "Princess, you can't drink this medicine!"
Shen Xuanji was shocked and asked, "What's going on?"
Seeing that Mother Hua pulled Lan Zhen, who pressed the people firmly on the ground, to her feet with hatred, and knelt down herself. "The old slave was dizzy and didn't pay attention to the princess's decoction, so that this bitch got a chance to add something to the princess's fetal medicine."
The cold sweat on Shen Xuanji's back suddenly appeared, and Lan Qing, who had just persuaded her to drink the medicine, covered her mouth for fear of crying.
Shen Xuanji raised his couch and came to Lan Zhen, "Why did you harm my child?"
Lan Zhen was pressed to the ground and looked sideways at Shen Xuanji, "Kill you, go to die, and your child, go and bury my child!"
Shen Xuanji brushed away his subordinate's hand, pulled Lan Zhen's hair and pulled her up, asking her to look into her eyes, "Why do you want to hurt my child?"
Lan Zhen was already crazy and laughed, "I also had a child. The prince said that the man didn't want me and asked me to kill him. He told my child to die, and I also want his child to die!"
"It's all you!" She went crazy, "Shench, if you hadn't dominated the prince, how could he hate me? How could he do this to me?"
Shen Xuanji looked at Lan Zhen, and the malice in his heart spewed out. In the face of this woman who wants to kill her child, all the emotions she has deliberately suppressed these days have burst out. She grabbed Lan Zhen's hair, used all her strength, and slapped her two big slaps.
Lan Zhen was knocked to the ground by Shen Xuanji's fan, bleeding in her mouth and nose, and she couldn't say a word. She lay on the ground dying.
"Mama Hua, call someone to sell this bitch to me as far as possible. I don't want to see her again in my life!"
