In the northwest, in one of the tents of the military camp, Shen Zikai was reading the letter his sister wrote to him with a smile.
Qi Zheng walked in wearing a brown military uniform. After being trained on the battlefield, he seemed to be more calm and mature. His handsome face was a little darker than before, and his whole body exuded a soldierly unique aura.
"There seems to be something wrong with Jin Bing, let's go to the city wall to have a look." He said to Shen Zikai as soon as he came in.
With a smile still on Shen Zikai's face, he hurriedly put away the letter from Shen Ziqiao in his hand, "Oh, okay, let's go and have a look."
"Do gold thieves still dare to commit crimes? Aren't you afraid they will be called mothers?" Shen Zikai and Qi Zheng walked out side by side.
Qi Zheng frowned slightly, "I always feel that something is different..."
Shen Zikai felt that he was thinking too much, and patted him on the shoulder, "Don't worry, General Du is a general who always wins."
"What were you looking at in the tent just now? Laughing like that." Qi Zheng thought to himself that maybe he was thinking too much. Jin Bing has been quiet these days because he is afraid of Da Zhou's troops, not because of any conspiracy.
"Oh, the letter my sister gave me." The corners of Shen Zikai's mouth raised unconsciously, and from the corner of his eyes he saw Qi Zheng's expression tightening, and he suddenly had the idea of probing, "You know Jiaojiao's temperament, it's hard to escape and be lazy. When I arrived in Dongyue, I didn’t enjoy it to the fullest, my grandmother liked her very much and wanted to keep her in Dongyue.”
Qi Zheng's eyebrows twitched, and the apex of his heart hung up unconsciously, "Stay in Dongyue?"
Shen Zikai narrowed his eyes with a smile, his appearance looked three points similar to Shen Ziqiao's with a smile, "My grandmother hoped that she would marry a young man from Dongyue, and she is currently giving her a blind date. I heard that many wives like Jiaojiao, congratulations Have you heard of it? The young master of the He family hasn't married yet, and Mr. He used to have business with my mother... "
Listening to Shen Zikai talking about how Shen Ziqiao's life in Dongyue is like a fish in water, listening to how the old lady of the Pan family is trying every means to find a husband for Shen Ziqiao. Qi Zheng felt as if his heart was being scalded in boiling water, he felt pain and uneasiness.
Still annoyed.
The first time I saw her in Qianfo Temple, he was still pretending to be stupid at that time. This girl was tricked into hiding in his wing room. If she hadn't thought up an excuse to send him back, she might not have just It's so easy to be lectured by the family.
The second time I saw him was in the half-way carriage. He was obviously a timid person who was afraid of death, but he still wanted to ask questions. He was very curious about him, but when he was angry, he didn't dare to do anything to him. His round face was angry like a meat bun. I can see that he wants to pinch a few times.
Then he calculated her and used her to achieve his own goals...
Nothing good happened every time we met, but every time I met her. He is in a very good mood.
When he knew that Mrs. Gu wanted to find a marriage for him, he thought, instead of letting Mrs. Gu control his marriage, he should find a girl he likes by himself, and he thought of her.
Knowing that she entered the palace and caused trouble. He was very anxious, afraid that she would be involved in some conspiracy in the palace, with her temperament and simple mind, she would not be able to fight those people, and she would die if she was not careful.
The feelings for her are accumulated little by little.
But he didn't think it was necessary for her. Although he asked her not to marry others before leaving, he didn't know how much he cared about her.
Until this moment, hearing that it is really possible for her to marry someone else. Qi Zheng felt anxious and nervous like never before. He was really afraid that she would meet a man who would be tempted in Dongyue...
"Qi Zheng? Qi Zheng?" Shen Zikai called him a few times, seeing his changing expression after hearing Jiaojiao's story, he was secretly happy.
Wait for him to go back. You must tell Jiaojiao that Qi Zheng's reaction is simply too amusing. If Jiaojiao knew, she didn't know what she would think.
In fact, Qi Zheng and Jiaojiao are really a match made in heaven.
If Qi Zheng can take advantage of this opportunity to make meritorious service, and return to the capital in the future, the Qi family will have the confidence to protect Jiaojiao.
Qi Zheng came back to his senses and realized that they had come under the city wall.
Shen Zikai embraced Qi Zheng's shoulders, walked up the stairs with a smile, "Do you think it's really suitable for Jiaojiao's character to marry into the He family?"
"Inappropriate." Qi Zheng said coldly, and slapped Shen Zikai's hand off. If she dared to marry, he would knock her unconscious and snatch her away.
"I think so too. However, my grandmother doesn't seem to give up. In order to keep Jiaojiao in Dongyue, she has thought of everything. Speaking of which, I seem to have two cousins who are not engaged..." Shen Zikai continued, as if not Seeing Qi Zheng's face that was about to thunder.
"Shen Zikai!" Qi Zheng glanced at him and called him in a cold voice.
"What's the matter?" Shen Zikai asked with a smile, Qi Zheng, who could see Mount Tai collapse in front of him without changing his expression, couldn't control his emotions, it was really a very fulfilling thing.
Qi Zheng lowered his voice, his dark eyes were as bright and deep as midnight, "No one will marry Jiaojiao, next time you write back, let her give up, don't think too much."
Shen Zikai was unhappy when he heard it, "Why did Jiaojiao..."
"Be careful!" Qi Zheng suddenly shouted, throwing Shen Zikai to the ground, and a sharp arrow with fire hit Qi Zheng's arm.
At this time, the high-pitched and sharp sound of the horn sounded.
"The golden soldiers are coming!" The soldiers on the city wall shouted.
There were bursts of horns, the sound of war drums, and not far away, densely packed torches lit up.
…
…
Shen Ziqiao was learning how to make lanterns, when she suddenly got stabbed in the hand, the pain caused her to scream, and put her finger in her mouth.
"Are you okay?" Pan Jiaxiu asked hurriedly, put down the peony lantern in her hand, and went to care about Shen Ziqiao.
"It's okay, let's continue, oh, your lantern is so beautiful, I can't tie it well with this little white rabbit." Shen Ziqiao complained.
"Are you a little white rabbit? It's obviously a dog." Pan Jiahong said with a smile.
Shen Ziqiao blushed, and glared at her angrily, "What's wrong with the little white rabbit lantern that I made like a dog?"
Pan Jiaxiu and the others laughed together.
The old ladies who were drinking tea almost burst out laughing when they heard Shen Ziqiao's words.
"This little guy, what are you talking about? The rabbit looks like a dog." Mrs. Pan said with a smile.
"It's not good, it's not good!" At this moment, the second aunt's voice came from outside.
It shocked Mrs. Pan and the eldest aunt.
After hearing this, the sisters who were sitting beside making lanterns put down the lanterns in their hands and stood up.
Mrs. Pan looked at the second aunt seriously. "What's wrong? What happened?"
"There's news from the capital that the Crown Princess has died of illness, and the Northwest side has suffered a defeat, and the Jin people have occupied our two cities in succession." Second Aunt raised her voice and said loudly.
Shen Ziqiao only felt a buzzing in her ears, and her footsteps were a little weak, "Second Aunt, what did you say? The Northwest was defeated?"
"Isn't brother Kai in the northwest?" The eldest aunt exclaimed.
Mrs. Pan was in a trance for a while, and almost fell to the ground, but it was the third aunt beside her who helped her in time.
"grandmother."
"mother!"
"Old lady..."
The people in the room were all in a mess, and hurriedly helped the old lady to lie down on the bed.
The eldest aunt gave orders immediately. "Sister Xiu, go get your father back quickly. Sister Hong goes to the study to invite the old lady. Jiaojiao, you stay here with the old lady..."
Shen Ziqiao felt as if she was stepping on a swamp, every foot was not solid, her heart was very anxious and scared. What she had been worried about was that something would happen to Shen Zikai in the Northwest. She never thought that it was only a year, and all the good news suddenly turned into bad news.
Who can tell her what happened to Shen Zikai
What about Qi Zheng? Will something happen to him
Shen Ziqiao's heart constricted, and she felt a sharp pain.
Soon, old master Pan and uncle came together. They had already heard the news outside, and Old Master Pan scolded the second aunt even more displeased, "What kind of bluff is that?"
The second aunt knew about it from the county magistrate's wife. She just wanted to let everyone know what happened in the northwest, and she didn't think much about it.
Shen Ziqiao walked up to Mrs. Pan, her face turned pale, her fingers trembled uncontrollably, "Grandpa, is there... any news about my elder brother?"
Old Master Pan patted her head and said in a low voice. "I didn't hear that brother Kai... something happened, nothing will happen. The imperial court has sent troops to support it."
"What's going on? Isn't the Northwest always winning battles? Why are two cities suddenly occupied?" Mrs. Pan asked anxiously.
Uncle Pan Lihui said, "There are spies in the imperial court...someone betrayed the country and leaked the route of transporting military supplies to the Northwest, but was intercepted by the Jin soldiers. This allowed the golden soldiers to attack the city."
Shen Ziqiao turned pale with shock, treason!
There is actually a plot of treason? Is Sheng Peiyin going to frame Shen Xiao
How can it be? With Sheng Peiyin's current strength, how could she design Shen Xiao? There must be something she doesn't know. What happened in the capital
"The emperor is furious, and has already ordered a thorough investigation. Now the capital is in panic, and the northwest side is threatened by the Jin people. The princess died of illness at this time. Many things are crowded together. I am afraid that the whole Zhou Dynasty will soon become unstable. ” said Mrs. Pan.
Mrs. Pan clutched her chest and shouted, "I just want my grandson to come back safe and sound."
"Mother, I've already asked people to inquire about the whereabouts of brother Kai. I will know soon." Pan Lihui said.
"Grandfather, I... I'll go back to the capital." Shen Ziqiao said suddenly.
"No, it's a mess outside, you can't go back, stay at home, no matter what happens, grandfather and uncle will be there." Old Master Pan objected immediately.
Shen Ziqiao just wanted to know if the defeat caused by treason had anything to do with Shen Xiao.
Would someone want to frame the Shen family
Also, the Crown Princess died of illness, what is Sheng Peiyin doing in the East Palace now
(When I refreshed, I saw that Sonia220 rewarded the cake, and I was shocked. Could it be that I am one year older? After a closer look, ouch, it turned out to be the eighth anniversary of the female channel, and it has nothing to do with me hahaha, thank you rewards and pink tickets~)
