Seeing Shu Qing's face clearly, except for Shang Xiao, everyone was dumbfounded. Although they never wanted to believe that she was really dead, seeing Shu Qing standing alive in front of them at this time, even Wei Xi, A calm person like Yu Feng couldn't hide the waves in his eyes.
The woman is Murong Shuqing, the man, could it be—
Pei Che walked up to the man and stared at his face covered by the black veil. His voice trembled uncontrollably, "Xuanyuan, is that you?"
The man grabbed the brim of his hat and raised his hand.
With sword eyebrows and star eyes, proud nose and thin lips, and even the corners of his lips showed his unruly temperament, this person is not Xuanyuan Yi, who else could he be
Xuanyuan? Long Yihai's eyes flashed. Could this person be Xuanyuan Yi, a famous general from the East who died in Linfengguan last year? He didn't actually die.
Sure enough it was him! Pei Che slammed Xuanyuan Yi's shoulder with a heavy punch, and cursed in a low voice, "You're damned! You don't even tell me when you leave, and there's no letter, so I've been worried for so long!" It can be said that they grew up together. Good brother, after so many years of birth and death, the tacit understanding between the two is self-evident. Otherwise, he would not have casually found a person wearing Xuanyuan armor who was beyond recognition, and reported it to the court, and General Zhenguo died in battle. It's just that even if Xuanyuan left some clues and no one actually saw him, how could he not be worried
Xuanyuan Yi also raised his hand and patted Pei Che on the shoulder vigorously, without any extra explanation, the friendship between men was fully revealed.
The shoulders gradually felt wet, Shu Qing stroked Shang Xiao's hair and said softly, "Let's all go in and talk."
Lifting her head to wipe away the tears, she said she stopped crying, and now she is crying again, she is really useless. Shang Xiao nodded quickly, dragged Shu Qing's hand, and walked into the room, "Sister Shu Qing, come quickly."
Following Shang Xiao's hurried footsteps, Shu Qing only took a few steps before suddenly stroking his abdomen and stopped, frowning tightly. These few days, she has been traveling almost day and night. She is really tired, and her stomach hurts from time to time.
Although Shu Qing had tried his best to control his expression, Xuanyuan Yi was still so frightened that he hurriedly put her in his arms and said anxiously, "Qing'er, how are you? What's wrong with you?" He really shouldn't listen to her. , Day and night trips, literally shortening the half-month trip into a few days! If there is an emergency for this child, he can't forgive himself!
Shu Qing took a few deep breaths, and finally, the wave of pain just now passed, she shook her head gently, indicating that she was fine.
Shang Xiao also finally noticed that Shu Qing, who had always been thin, had a prominent belly, widened his eyes in shock, and asked hesitantly, "Sister Shu Qing, you, you are pregnant—"
"Yeah." Shu Qing smiled and nodded.
Seeing Shu Qing leaning on Xuanyuan Yi's arms wearily, his hand always caressing his lower abdomen, his face was a little bad, and he couldn't hide the tiredness in his eyes. Shang Xiao lowered his head and choked: "I, Sister Shu Qing, I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" She didn't know what else to say. Sister Shu Qing was pregnant and she was still running around like this. What they owed her would never be repaid. clear.
Gently breaking free from Xuanyuan Yi's embrace, Shu Qing took Shang Xiao's hand and comforted: "Fool, in my heart, you and Jun are my relatives, and I am as concerned about his safety as you are. I am not sorry to apologize now. At that time, the most important thing for us is to work together to rescue you. Besides, am I not standing in front of you now?"
"Yeah." With red eyes, Shang Xiao nodded vigorously, cupped Shu Qing's hand carefully, and said softly, "Sister Shu Qing, let's go in and sit down and talk, you walk slowly, slowly."
Shu Qing couldn't help laughing and laughing, this is not going, it's just moving, but a group of big men, including Xuanyuan Yi, think that the speed is very good, she also shut up wisely, and she is not in a hurry anyway. time.
After finally moving to the flower hall, Shang Xiao helped her to the soft couch next to her, and while adding a cushion to her, he said, "Sister Shu Qing, lie down quickly."
Shu Qing sat down with a smile. After feeling better, he immediately asked, "Yu Feng, how many days has Mr. Shang been missing? What happened before he disappeared? What have you found these days?"
Yu Feng was originally Shu Qing's side, and her appearance also calmed his anxious heart for many days. Hearing Shu Qing's question, Yu Feng briefly explained what happened during this time.
When she was on the boat, she asked Xiuzhi, and she probably knew a little about the situation. She looked around and asked, "You just mentioned Xiao Zongqing, the silent sect master, where is he now?" Shu Qing's eyes were on the only one. The face of a man in brocade clothing who had never met before stopped for a while, but quickly moved away. Legend has it that this Xiao Clan Master is only in his twenties, so it shouldn't be him.
"Master Xiao separated from us more than ten days ago. Originally, he would let us know as soon as there was news about his master, but after that day, he never appeared again, and the people from the silent door disappeared." They didn't know either. what is going on.
disappear? For no reason, how can it disappear? Shu Qing thought for a while, and said to Weixi: "Weixi, you go to all the silent door strongholds you know and find Xiao Zongqing. If you can't find him, leave a message saying that the Misty Villa has been Find a way to rescue Shang Jun, and let him come over immediately." If something hadn't happened, according to Yu Feng's words, Xiao Zongqing's concern for Shang Jun would definitely come immediately, if he didn't come... The result is self-evident. .
"Yes." Wei Xi took the order to leave.
Shang Xiao couldn't contain the excitement in his heart, and he didn't dare to touch Shu Qing, so he could only keep asking, "Sister Shu Qing, do you really have a way to save my brother? What's the way?"
With a light smile, Shu Qing replied, "I will rescue Lord Shang."
Although Shu Qing didn't say anything about the method, the momentum that seemed to be in control made Shang Xiao confidently reply: "Well, I believe that Sister Shu Qing will definitely be able to rescue my brother!" She knew that Sister Shu Qing's Appearing, not only gave her a peace of mind pill, Yu Feng and Wei Xi should also have increased their confidence.
"Peche, there is something I want to ask for your help."
Pei Che smiled generously and said, "If you have any orders, just say it, sister-in-law."
This guy really does not forget to entertain others all the time, Shu Qing said with a light smile: "Long Chimu sent the guards to block the Tiancheng, and there are strongholds inside and outside the city. Yan Yu and Cang Su also came with me, just outside the hospital. I I would like you to lead them to draw me a picture of the distribution of troops inside and outside Tiancheng, and I will get it before Zi Shi."
After listening to Shu Qing's arrangement, Pei Che faintly felt that she was going to make a big move this time, so she couldn't help but become serious and replied, "No problem."
Tiancheng has been blocked, and it is indeed extremely inconvenient to move. Thinking of the tunnel that took three years to build under Ji Ji, Yu Feng walked over to Shu Qing and said a few words in a low voice. Shu Qing exclaimed in surprise, "Really?"
Yu Feng nodded. Shu Qing secretly sighed, Jun is really amazing, she has dug so many secret passages, now it will be easier for her to act!
Looking outside the house, the moon had already risen, Shu Qing said, "Yu Feng, help me go out of the city to wait for a few people." She got off the boat and sent an urgent note to Murong Xinghun and Shen Xiaoyun. After calculating the time, she wanted to people, should be here today.
"Who?" Who else will come
Under the suspicious eyes of Yu Feng and Shang Xiao, Shu Qing smiled and replied, "Hua Yongqin, the head of the north hall of the Wind and Rain Building, Feng Yi, the general manager of the Murong family, and one other person, you should be familiar with it, Xiu Zhi."
The city gate was closed, and Xiuzhi was waiting outside the city to escort the Murong family's goods and the sea elites dressed as servants to arrive. There were so many people that they really needed to be careful.
Shang Xiao was slightly startled, "Is he really back?" On the day Xiu Zhi left, she found that Ximu had not left, and she guessed that he would come back. She may have wrongly blamed Brother Qin, but that Ximu was a stinky and hard rock, so she didn't answer any questions!
Shu Qing nodded lightly and sighed, "You should thank him." He exchanged the freedom of his own heart.
Shang Xiao seemed to understand, but still nodded obediently.
He gently waved at Xuanyuan Yi, Xuanyuan Yi lowered his head slightly, Shu Qing whispered a few words in his ear, and then said to Yu Feng: "Yu Feng, hand over your things to Yi, then go outside the city and wait for others. Bar."
"Yes." Yu Feng left, and Xuanyuan Yi followed him to fetch the map of the secret passage. Shu Qing secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and there were finally fewer people in the room.
Turning his head slowly, Shu Qing finally met the inquiring gaze that had been silently observing her all night.
Purple brocade clothes, white jade on the waist, with an elegant smile on his face, facing his own eyes that can be said to be arrogant, he is calm, well-mannered, and the demeanor of a gentleman is full of gentleness in his eyes, and his eyebrows are bright. Shu Qing naturally did not miss Yuma's undeniable dignity and perseverance.
Shu Qing bowed slightly, saluting, and said, "This is Prince Rui, right?"
Long Yihai smiled back and praised: "Miss Murong, I have long admired it." He had heard of Murong's family for a long time, but Murong Shuqing, he had not heard much. But today, he opened his eyes. With a delicate posture, she has a serene character and a natural charm. As a woman, she is also very courageous and decisive in her actions. No wonder, her appearance made this group of people seem to see hope all at once. Even though, she was just an unarmed pregnant woman.
Shu Qing smiled slightly and replied calmly: "King Rui's words are serious, Murong Shuqing is dead, I'm just a relative of the businessman, Prince Rui can just call me Shu Qing."
"Okay." Long Yihai was also kind, and smiled, "In Miss Shu Qing's deployment, I don't know if there is a place to help me."
"Of course." Shu Qing lowered his voice slightly and replied, "There is one thing that must be done by Prince Rui."
"What's the matter?" Long Yihai was still curious, what did he have to do
The corners of Shu Qing's lips were raised lightly, and two words were spit out flatly: "Forcing the palace."
Shang Xiao opened his mouth wide and looked at Shu Qing in astonishment. Although she, like her sister, never forgot her family feud, she was so open and aboveboard and casually said the word "forced palace", Shang Xiao couldn't react.
Long Yihai was taken aback, once he forced the palace, if he couldn't win, he would die without a place to be buried, and he would be charged with committing chaos, murdering the king and usurping the throne. At present, the strength between him and Long Chimu is obviously different. She asked him to force the palace at this time, didn't she just let him die
He can understand her feeling of wanting to save Shang Jun, why doesn't he want to save him? It's just that she shouldn't use others in this way. She said something that was enough to destroy the nine clans in a leisurely manner. Displeased in her heart, Yu Han replied coldly, "Miss is trying to distract the court's attention and troops in order to save Shang Jun? It's just too risky!"
Shu Qing didn't care about his slightly changed face, instead he picked up the pillow next to him more leisurely, put it on the back of his waist carefully, and said with a low laugh, "Sometimes the arrow is on the string, and you can't help it. Come all the way from the east corner. , As far as I know, the army that was defeated in the battle of Linfengguan has already begun to rectify. If I read it correctly, Long Chimu will transfer them back to Tiancheng, which is an army of 60,000. I don’t know when Prince Rui’s army The situation..." After speaking, Shu Qing paused for a while, believing that Long Yihai should understand without her having to say the consequences.
As he wished, there was a flash of anxiety in Long Yihai's eyes. Shu Qing raised his head lightly, looked him in the eye, his smile remained unchanged, but his eyes were no longer soft, his cold whisper, his bare eyes, made people feel pressure inexplicably, "Since you are willing to help Prince Rui, Come to think of it, Prince Rui must be Cang Yue's hope, and he must have the bearing and mind of a prince of a country. Prince Rui should understand better than me why Shang Jun would fall into danger. In fact, forcing the palace at this time will not only make it easier for you to get out of trouble , Prince Rui can also take this opportunity to seize power in one fell swoop? You and I both get what we need. Prince Rui might as well weigh one or two." His life is life, but your life is not life? If he is such a person, it will not be a blessing for Cang Yue to ascend to the throne in the future.
Shu Qing's words were sharp, even if she was leaning on the soft couch with a big belly now, you wouldn't dare to despise her at all. While Long Yihai secretly admired her, she also felt unprecedented pressure. This woman knew the skills of negotiation very well.
In terms of morality, if the Shangjun did something to save him, if he shied away, he would be an ungrateful person. In the grand cause, now has reached the most critical moment, with her help, the result will be multiplied with half the effort. Under such circumstances, how could he say no
Long Yihai gave a wry smile and replied, "Miss is indeed a businessman."
Apparently he had figured it out. Shu Qing smiled slightly, but insisted on his promise: "What does Prince Rui want?"
Long Yihai sighed, she was really different from Shang Jun, and it was much more difficult to convince and impress her. And she has a pair of sharp eyes, as if she can see everything. Long Yihai greeted Shu Qing and replied sternly: "Shangjun must be saved, the matter of forcing the palace can be carried out, but it needs to be carefully discussed and weighed before acting. After all, if you lose, it is not only me who will sacrifice. Yihai is alone, and I have to think about them too."
Shu Qing was satisfied with his answer, and continued to ask, "How many people under Prince Rui can use?"
Shu Qing has a deep friendship with Feng Yulou, and she will always know about the military strength. If she feels that she is not honest, she is afraid that her trust will be hard to come by. Long Yihai secretly weighed it and decided not to hide it any more, and replied: "In Tiancheng, Prince Rui's mansion can still mobilize more than 100 people for me. The Northern Army, about 60,000 people. Earlier, I had already completed the book. Let them secretly enter Tiancheng in batches, but the northern army station is too far away from Beijing, even if it marches day and night, it will take at least seven or eight days, I am afraid that Shangjun won't be able to wait so long. Since ancient times, there is no army, and it is almost impossible to force the palace It's possible. I don't know, does Miss have other plans?"
Sixty thousand? A little more than she imagined, no wonder he dared to think about becoming an emperor, but Long Chimu wanted him to die! Since ancient times, military power has always been something that makes those in positions of power fearful and those who seek power go crazy.
With some scruples in his heart, Shu Qing thought about it and replied: "It will take some days for the army of Youcheng to be transferred back to Tiancheng. As long as they rescue Lord Shang and force Long Chaomu to abdicate in these seven or eight days, it will be enough. It's done. At present, there are two more important things. First, clarify the position of the Shangjun! Second, raise and arrange manpower. There is still some time in the ion time. Prince Rui counts his troops and horses, rests a little, and later Discuss a little more."
"Okay." Long Yihai left the flower hall with a smile, and had a brief talk with Murong Shuqing. He also had another measure of what to do next.
After Long Yihai left, Shang Xiao quickly asked, "Sister Shu Qing, what about me? What do I need to do?"
Patting Shang Xiao's serious cheek, Shu Qing smiled and replied, "Your business is the most important thing."
"What?" Shang Xiao hurriedly sat up straight, his heart pounding for "the most important thing".
Seeing how she was waiting, Shu Qing laughed and replied, "Prepare food for everyone!"
"Just this?" Shang Xiao was a little disappointed.
Shu Qing said seriously: "Don't think that this is unimportant. For five or six thousand people's rations, you need to prepare at least five days' supply. Now that Tiancheng is under martial law, it is not an easy task to raise so much food."
Yes, food is the foundation of everything, Shang Xiao nodded vigorously and replied, "Okay, leave the matter of raising food to me."
Helping Shu Qing to get up, Shang Xiao pointed at Shu Qing's stomach and teased: "I'll take you back to your room to rest first, and then let the kitchen prepare some food for you, but you can't starve him!"
"Okay." With Shang Xiao's support, the two moved all the way. When he walked to the garden, he ran into Xuanyuan Yi who was walking in a hurry, Shang Xiao smiled and said, "Brother Xuanyuan."
Nodding to her, Xuanyuan Yi took Shu Qing lightly in his arms and asked worriedly, "Are you tired?"
Shu Qing smiled and shook his head, neither of them said much, but the warmth of hugging each other was enviable. Walking silently beside them, looking at Sister Shu Qing's soft smile, Shang Xiao lowered his head. Sister Shu Qing finally found her own happiness, but she selfishly involved her in this fierce battle, and the guilt that emerged in her heart almost drowned her. After finally walking to the adjacent room, Shang Xiao said in a low voice, "This is your room. Sister Shu Qing, you have a good rest, and the food will be delivered soon."
After finishing speaking, Shang Xiao turned around quickly, but Shu Qing gently grabbed his wrist and sighed, "Xiaoxiao, you did nothing wrong, if you don't go to me, something really happened to Jun, I have to blame you. I am fine now, and the children are fine. I hope that not only am I happy, but you and Jun are also happy. You understand how I feel, right?"
Feeling the warmth of Shu Qing's palm, Shang Xiao nodded vigorously, but couldn't answer a word, she was afraid that tears would flow out unsatisfactorily.
Alas, these two sisters just like to take everything on their own. You are like this, and so is she. Patting Shang Xiao's hand, Shu Qing deliberately teased: "Okay, don't say those stupid things or think about some weird ideas in the future. You still think about it, what's delicious, and make up for me and Jun!"
"Well. I'm going to prepare something to eat." Taking a deep breath, Shang Xiao finally squeezed out a far-fetched smile and hurried to the direction of the kitchen.
Xuanyuan Yi helped Shu Qing into the room, sat down at the table, held her hand tightly, and asked anxiously, "What's wrong, tell me?"
How often has this resolute and domineering man had such a flustered expression. Holding Xuanyuan Yi's hand back, Shu Qing felt warm in her heart. Putting his hand lightly on his stomach, Shu Qing smiled and said, "I'm just a little tired. I just rested for a while, but now I'm fine."
Feeling Shu Qing's steady breathing, Xuanyuan Yi's heart slowly returned to his place.
Leaning on Xuanyuan Yi, Shu Qing asked in a low voice, "Have you got the thing?"
"Here." He took out a plain white brocade more than three feet from his sleeve and spread it out on the round table. The huge tunnel map is densely packed, but branched in an orderly manner. The design of the exits is secret and numerous, almost including the main roads of Tiancheng, and even the underground palace. Each side branch is relatively independent. Even if the enemy finds the entrance, they can simply block a few points, which can prevent the enemy from sweeping it all at once. The complex and delicate internal structure, without blueprints, is very easy to get lost when entering.
Xuanyuan Yi, who was a general, was even more fascinated by it. He couldn't help sighing: "It's so delicate, this is definitely a big project."
"Yeah." Shu Qing was also amazed at the tunnel map in front of him, but after a while, Shu Qing looked a little gloomy and looked at Xuanyuan Yi. His brows were also frowning more and more tightly. Shu Qing smiled and asked, "What are you thinking about?"
Wrapping around Shu Qing's no longer slender waist again, Xuanyuan Yi sighed in a low voice, "It's the same as what you thought."
"Long Yihai!"
The two blurted out at the same time, looked at each other and smiled, it seems that the husband and wife have been together for a long time, but they have become more and more tacit.
