The next day, Qi Meng and Langbu talked about holding a bonfire party in the evening, although Langbu felt that it was not appropriate to celebrate at this time.

But seeing that Qi Meng was determined to do it, he felt helpless.

Although Qi Meng was his subordinate, Qi Meng's father was very powerful in Liang State and was beyond Langbu's reach.

Therefore, Langbu did not go against Qi Meng most of the time.

"Okay, do it if you want!"

After saying that, he left without looking back.

Qi Meng looked at Langbu's back, with a slight smile on his face, "Langbu, your good days are over."

He planned to acknowledge Qin Wan's identity and also to slander Lang Bu for collaborating with the enemy. As long as Lang Bu was eliminated, he would be the highest official in Yanbei City.

Moreover, with the charge of treason, the Fourth Prince had no way to help Langbu.

All the interactions between Langbu and Qin Wan tonight are evidence.

During the day, Qin Wan had been thinking about how to find an opportunity to be alone with Cai Ping so that it would be convenient for her to take action.

Qin Wan touched her belly. It was already five months old. She also needed to find a safe place as soon as possible so that she could give birth without any worries.

At the moment, it is not safe in Yanbei City.

I just don’t know if Zhao Zhen will come to rescue her once he knows the news about her.

It would be a lie to say that Qin Wan had no hope at all.

She also hopes that the child will be born in a safe environment.

Zhao Zhen has soldiers and an army under his command. In times of war, having people gives you the greatest sense of security.

However, she was well aware of her position in Zhao Zhen's heart and was not sure whether Zhao Zhen would risk his life for her.

That’s right, coming to Yanbei City to save people means risking your life.

If Zhao Zhen really has this sincerity, she wouldn't mind giving him a big gift.

At this time, Zhao Zhen did not disappoint Qin Wan. He set out in person despite his injuries.

Ever since he knew that Qin Wan was still alive and pregnant and trapped in Yanbei City, he reported the matter to the Marquis of Zhenbei, then led a team of people and left the city in disguise.

When Marquis Zhenbei knew that his youngest son and his second brother's family were also imprisoned, he naturally agreed to let Zhao Zhen go out and rescue them.

What's more, the Marquis of Zhenbei had already received news from Li Guozhu, and Li Guozhu's army was already closely guarding against the Turks.

After receiving the letter, Marquis Zhenbei was very happy, as it meant that they only needed to guard against the enemies in the north, as there would be someone to protect them in the northwest.

This is a heavy commitment.

At this time, the Marquis of Zhenbei wished he could worship Qin Wan as his ancestor, and of course he agreed to let Zhao Zhen go to rescue people personally.

Zhao Zhen left without hesitation, which made Song Zhirou feel sad.

She had wanted to take advantage of Zhao Zhen's recovery so that they could become a real couple and get pregnant as soon as possible.

Since her cousin likes children so much, she will give birth to a child for him herself.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Zhen’s injuries had not yet healed, and he left the city after only three days of rest.

Not only that, her movements were now restricted.

Just as Song Zhirou reached the door, Xiao Anzi appeared and said, "Cousin, the eldest master has ordered that you cannot go anywhere until he comes back."

Song Zhirou glared at Xiao Anzi, "You, you are great. When my cousin comes back, I will definitely report you."

After saying that, Song Zhirou slammed the door shut.

Xiao Anzi didn't care. He was just ordered to look after his cousin, and he was not afraid that Zhao Zhen would come back and punish him.

In fact, Xiao Anzi had a guess. He felt that the cousin must have been involved when the marquis's wife abandoned the eldest young master's wife.

The eldest master must be aware of this, which is why he is now on guard against his cousin causing trouble, fearing that she might do something bad without knowing the seriousness of the matter.

After seeing the door closed, Xiao Anzi continued to sit in the yard and guard it.

In the past two days, Xiao Anzi would check the meals delivered by the maid to prevent Song Zhirou from passing on any information.

At this moment, Song Zhirou, who was sitting in the room, was like an ant on hot pan.

It wasn't just that she hated Qin Wan's return, she was even more worried that Zhao Zhen would see Zhao Rong alive.

When she abandoned Zhao Rong and ran away alone, it was equivalent to sacrificing Zhao Rong's life in exchange for her own safety.

"No, I can't just sit there and wait for death. I must think of a way." Thinking of Zhao Rong, Song Zhirou's eyes flashed fiercely, "Cousin, you can't come back alive, absolutely not!"

evening.

Yanbei City, which had been dead all this time, finally became lively again.

Because a huge fire broke out in the east of the city.

A lot of firewood was piled up high, and the bright flames shot straight into the sky.

Many Hu people were singing and dancing around the campfire, with laughter everywhere.

Yanbei City, as the first city to be captured, has now become a grain transit station for the Hu people.

A lot of newly harvested grains are stored here. These are crops grown by the Han people.

Now they have all become the spoils of the Hu people.

The Fourth Prince led a large army to attack the city in the front. They had sufficient food and grass because there were food supplies in Yanbei City and also because the Hu people had looted food from the homes of the people during their invasion.

Langbu saw Qi Meng celebrating wildly, but he did not take it lightly.

"Zhong Guyan, Ju Fan, both of you, be alert and send more people to guard the granary. No accidents can happen in the granary."

"Yes, sir, I will go right away."

Soon, the two men left with two teams.

In addition to the soldiers guarding the city, those who participated in the bonfire party tonight also included the Hu people who ran over from the border.

They all had smiles on their faces at this time, and some of them couldn't wait to go down and dance.

Qin Wan was also in the crowd, followed by her neighbor Fan Hua.

Fan Hua is a girl from the grassland. She is not only tall but also has a strong body.

In fact, compared with Fan Hua, Qin Wan is too short and too thin.

Even though Qin Wan was five months pregnant, she only had a bulge in her belly. Her upper body and limbs were very slender.

Qi Meng felt even more annoyed when he saw Qin Wan chatting and laughing with the tribesmen so naturally.

He stood up and came to Qin Wan, "Zhaqin, why don't you go dance."

Qin Wan was not annoyed. She pointed at her belly and said, "Brother Qi Meng, I'm pregnant. It's not appropriate for me to dance."

Qi Meng slapped his forehead and said, "Look at my memory. I really forgot. Since dancing is not possible, I'll just play the horse-head fiddle!"

Qin Wan was not afraid of this because her roommate could sing it. When she was free, she actually learned a song called "Chi Le Song".

"Okay, I'll play a song!"

A desolate and gentle melody sounded, the sound was bold yet delicate, and the cheering crowd instantly quieted down.

The Hu people dancing around the campfire all looked towards Qin Wan. Soon, Qin Wan was surrounded in the middle, and the people around her formed a big circle with her as the center.

Gradually, some Hu people also started to discuss:

“This music makes me miss home!”

"Yes, I miss the grasslands too. The place where the Han people live is not suitable for us."

"......"

Qi Meng took everyone's words into his ears. He was extremely conflicted. Should he sacrifice a compatriot in order to get rid of Langbu?
