Chapter 347 is imminent
It took Shen Yuexi a day and a half to meet Xiao Zhuo in the south of Zhongzhou.

When Xiao Zhuo left the Anzhou hunting ground, he was intercepted by the Yan army.After Xiao Zhuo bypassed several layers of siege, he encountered the pursuing Yan army. The sergeants led by Qiu Liming arrived in time, and rushed out of the siege after some fighting.

Shen Yuexi was always thinking about Xiao Zhuo's safety on the road, and she didn't settle down until she met Xiao Yao.When camping for a rest, she told Xiao Zhuo what she had seen and heard in Daliang Village.

After listening to Shen Yuexi's statement, Xiao Zhuo was still as calm as usual, calm and calm, and said slowly:
"It turned out that my mother came from a poor family in Yuzhou. I really didn't expect it."

Shen Yuexi nestled in Xiao Zhuo's arms, looked at the bonfire with flying sparks in front of her, and said: "Pei Jingyun chose hundreds of women with similar faces to hers, but only the husband's mother succeeded, and the rest all died in that ignorant place." in the crypt of the sun."

Thinking of Pei Jingyun killing so many women.Shen Yuexi felt her hair stand on end. Looking up, there seemed to be countless women's ghosts wandering in the surrounding night.

Thinking of the scene of being thrown down by groups of skeletons, she felt chilly all over, and curled up even tighter.

Xiao Zhuo looked down at her, tucked the blanket covering her body, and then hugged her shoulder with a little force.

Shen Yuexi's heart warmed up, and she put her face on Xiao Zhuo's chest: "Husband, queen mother... what kind of person is she?"

She also wanted to ask before, but Xiao Zhuo had always regarded the death of the Queen as a pain in her heart, and she couldn't bear to uncover the scar.Now, with the help of the true and false queen, she can ask it out naturally.

"As far as I can remember, the queen mother...is very good, no matter from which aspect. It's just that occasionally she will show a sad look." Xiao Zhuo looked up at the starry sky, as if lost in memory, "I thought at that time, the queen mother is I feel that I am not strong enough or good enough to be a qualified prince. Sometimes when I see my mother crying secretly, I will blame myself even more. Now I understand that my mother hides so many terrible secrets deep in her heart. She is pretending to be The empress, her son is not the son of Emperor Yongde, these are unspoken secrets... She endured 20 years of torture."

"Although the queen mother came from a poor background, she is a great mother," Shen Yuexi comforted Xiao Zhuo when she saw a hint of sadness in her words, "She endured so many years of pain to protect her son."

Empress Wen was born in poverty, but was cultivated into a woman with excellent conduct.And Pei Jingyun was born in the Duke's Mansion. In order to be with her sweetheart, she did all kinds of cruel actions unimaginable by ordinary people. Even her son Xiao Beiheng became a cruel person. I don't know whether to be moved by her infatuation or Her cruel sigh.

"You are right," Xiao Zhuo said, "Unfortunately, there is a separation between man and nature, I can no longer be filial to her, and now even my father has left me."

Afraid that Xiao Yao would be sad, Shen Yuexi stretched out her arms to wrap around Xiao Yao's neck: "Don't be sad, husband, you still have me. And our baby, right... Sigh, I don't know if it's a boy or a girl."

Xiao Zhuo smiled slightly and said: "Although Emperor Yongde is not my biological father, he has raised me for 20 years. He gave me all my abilities. In fact, I have a deeper affection for him. But people are not trees and stones. After all, my life was given by my father, without him there would be no me, I will still fulfill my father's will."

"Then are we really going to go to war with my brother?" Shen Yuexi asked with wide eyes.

She knew that Xiao Zhuo would never be an enemy to his relatives.From his confrontation with his teacher Ji Zhong, to the duel with Xiao Kai, to the fire in Xia Yuangu.Now that he had made up his mind so quickly, it was unexpected to her.

"My brother made a big mistake, my father is gone, and my mother is like this. As an elder brother, I have the responsibility to correct it. Taking a step back, even if I don't want to ask, I am afraid that my brother will not let me. This battle It's unavoidable no matter what."

"Sister Mei told me the same thing before she left. She said that my younger brother has shown his true nature. The world will see through his character. It is useless to try to frame you for the crime of assassinating the emperor. No one will believe it. Sister Mei has already Go back to Shengjing to prepare the army, let's go back quickly."

Qiu Liming appeared from the shadows, came up to the two of them and said, "My lord, mistress, Tan Ma has brought very important news."

Xiao Zhuo said: "Report."

"Xiao Beiheng opened the imperial decree of the Star Picking Tower and hurriedly ascended the throne yesterday without any ceremony. He has ordered the army to assemble and prepare to attack Shengjing. General Zhao Mu and Anguo General Qi Shengjue failed to plan a rebellion, and Zhao Mu's family was put on death row. An Guo General Qi Shengjue escaped and disappeared."

Hearing the news, Shen Yuexi lifted the blanket and jumped up: "Is Xiao Beiheng going to kill the general? When will he do it?"

The war was about to start, and the imperial decree to make Xiao Beiheng the crown prince was no longer important to her.On the contrary, she was very concerned about Zhao Mu.Zhao Mu is the commander-in-chief of the Yan Army, and he has a high prestige. Now Xiao Beiheng is putting him on death row, apparently to behead him.

Qiu Liming shook his head in embarrassment and said, "This subordinate doesn't know."

Shen Yuexi grabbed Xiao Zhuo's sleeve and said: "My lord, the general is the commander of the Yan army, if you want to rescue him, it will definitely weaken Xiao Beiheng."

Although she doesn't know much about military affairs, she also knows that it is absolutely necessary to win more power to her side as the war is imminent.Zhao Mu is a force worth relying on. He is now imprisoned by Xiao Beiheng. If he can be rescued, with Zhao Mu's prestige, many Yan troops may join Shengjing's side, and Xiao Zhuo's chances of winning will be greatly increased.

Xiao Zhuo said to Qiu Liming: "Explore again." Qiu Liming nodded and left, Xiao Zhuo then turned to Shen Yuexi and said, "I don't allow it."

Shen Yuexi pouted and said, "I haven't said what I'm going to do, but I'm not sure... How overbearing."

She thinks she has two skills when it comes to saving people. When she rescued her sister Shen Lan, she was saved under heavy guards in Yongwei City.Although she is a woman, she is different from others. She has the trick of a big bear.

Xiao Yan put his hands on her shoulders and looked at her seriously: "Yuexi, I know you have Big Bear to help. But I have lost my mother and my father, and now I only have you, I don't want you to take any more risks. "

Shen Yuexi looked up at the affectionate eyes in Xiao Zhuo's eyes, and her tensed body slowly relaxed.

I really can't blame Xiao Zhuo for this matter, every adventure is taken by her own initiative.After experiencing so many storms, she is no longer the former Shen Yuexi who likes to hug her thighs to find a backer. She already has strong confidence to do what she wants to do.

"I know, but I'm also thinking for my husband's sake," she stretched out her fingers and broke off one by one, "We have 8 troops, sister Mei has 10,000 cavalry, and Qianglin has 30. [-] people, Qi Wang’s army originally had [-]+, plus Xiao Beiheng’s army recruited in Jingzhou, plus the capital’s... It’s estimated that [-] people won’t be able to fight.”

In fact, she couldn't figure it out at all.Since Xiao Beiheng ascended the throne as the emperor, Xiao Zhuo would definitely have to fight against the entire Dayan army this time, and she was terrified at the thought of this.

Xiao Zhuo smiled and said: "My husband is good at winning more with less, hasn't it been proven many times?"

"But...but..."

Xiao Zhuo stretched out two fingers and pressed her lips: "This time will be no exception, trust your husband. Take good care of our children, and leave the future battles to my husband, don't ask me again, okay?"

Shen Yuexi touched her stomach subconsciously, only to realize that her stomach was swollen at some point, and it felt like she was full of food.She always thought it was caused by her recent overeating and eating too much.

It's only been more than four months, why is my stomach getting bigger?It's really not the right time, just in time for the most important battle of your husband.

"It's only been four and a half months, and you treat me like an outsider...you won't let me help, your wife is so powerful, but you treat her like a pig every day."

While talking, she turned around angrily, and muttered in her heart: "Baby, your father loves your mother. But mother is very strong, and father still needs mother's help, so don't blame mother for tossing."

Xiao Zhuo shook his head helplessly: "Okay, I got it. Please help my wife as a husband, how about we fight together."

Seeing that Xiao Zhuo's clothes were soft, Shen Yuexi smiled, turned around and said to him: "That's right, come and touch the baby. He just said that Daddy is really a reasonable person."

Xiao Zhuo showed surprise, squatted down and put his ear on her belly and said, "Is the baby really talking? Can he move? Will I hurt him like this?"

Shen Yuexi chuckled, covered her mouth and said, "I'm lying to you, how could I be able to talk, it's okay...you can stick it tighter."

The night passed, and when they got up in the morning, the sergeants put out the bonfire, saddled the horses, and prepared to set off.

Before departure, Shen Yuexi found that Ji Yunyan was missing, so she called Qiu Liming over to ask.Qiu Liming said frankly that he didn't know where Ji Yunyan had gone.

Ji Yunyan is Mei Dai's subordinate, she followed Mei Dai's instructions to escort Shen Yuexi and Xiao Zhuo to rendezvous, now that the task has been completed, maybe it's not certain that she will set off to return to Shengjing.Besides, she was superb in martial arts and often acted alone, Shen Yuexi was not worried, and set off to Shengjing with Xiao Zhuo on the horse.

The war with Xiao Beiheng is imminent.
