Zhao Zhen glanced up and down at Qin Wan, and to be honest, he didn't quite believe it.

Shi Ce and Mo Xuan had never expected that the eldest young master's wife would reveal the news herself. Wasn't she afraid that the eldest young master would worry about her chastity?

Zhao Zhen took a while to say, "Then his vision is quite special."

Qin Wan didn't care about Zhao Zhen's joke, "Did you kill the family living next door now?"

"Yeah!" Zhao Zhen nodded.

"Then we can't stay in the city for long. We have to bring Second Aunt and the others back quickly and let them go first!"

Zhao Zhen didn't expect that Qin Wan would be the first to care about his relatives. At this moment, Zhao Zhen looked at Qin Wan with higher regard again.

"As for the grain transportation, you have a secret passage, so you need to act quickly in the next few days. I will try to continue to contact Langbu and help you divert his attention."

Zhao Zhen looked at Qin Wan in surprise, "Aren't you worried about your safety? After all this talk, you haven't considered your own safety."

Qin Wan chuckled at this time, looking at Zhao Zhen without blinking, "Zhao Zhen, I do all this for a purpose."

Zhao Zhen was startled, the warmth in her heart dissipated a little, and her expression became serious again, "You say!"

Qin Wan had no time to care about Zhao Zhen's change of mood, and said word by word: "Zhao Zhen, I helped you this time, you have to ensure that I give birth safely."

Zhao Zhen: “….”

Zhao Zhen was confused. How could he take care of a woman giving birth?

Qin Wan continued, "Zhao Zhen, you must know how your family has treated me since I married into your Zhao family. I don't mind if they treat me coldly, but you actually abandoned me when you ran away from the city."

Zhao Zhen explained, "That's not what I meant, I..."

Qin Wan interrupted, “I know it has nothing to do with you, it was arranged by Madam Hou or Song Zhirou, but you never cared about my safety, did you?

Otherwise the people you sent would not fail to notice my absence."

Zhao Zhen remained silent and did not say a word in rebuttal.

He really didn't explain, so he couldn't argue.

Qin Wan looked into Zhao Zhen's eyes and said, "Zhao Zhen, what I want is very simple, I just want to live a good life."

She stroked her belly gently and said, "I only have one request, I hope my child can be born in a stable environment.

You can arrange reliable people to take care of me when I give birth."

Giving birth to a child is not something Qin Wan can handle on her own. Without someone she can trust, Qin Wan is indeed worried.

This time Zhao Zhen came to Yanbei City in person to rescue people, and Qin Wan wanted to try to trust him.

Although he came this time not only to save people, he also wanted to steal food.

But he didn't steal the grain for himself, he did it for the Zhenbei Army and the people in the north.

Qin Wan believed that Zhao Zhen was a gentleman.

Zhao Zhen didn't expect Qin Wan's request to be so simple. "This is what I should do. In addition to this request, you can make other requests."

Qin Wan shrugged. "I haven't thought of anything else. You owe me one."

Zhao Zhen readily agreed, "Okay!"

After discussing the matter, Shi Ce went to the blacksmith shop to look for someone in the dark.

Outside Suitai City, there is a large camp of Hu people.

"Report, Fourth Prince, there is a letter."

The fourth prince rubbed his sore eyes and said, "Bring him in!"

Soon Mengtai walked into the tent and knelt on the ground, "Fourth Prince, our master asked me to pass a message to you."

The fourth prince raised his hand and signaled his followers to bring the letter over.

The attendant first checked the letter to make sure it was not poisonous before handing it over to the fourth prince.

The fourth prince took the letter and read it nonchalantly at first, but when he read the last part, he sat up straight and laughed out loud, "Great, great, great! Hahaha!"

Mengtai didn't know what news was in the letter that made the Fourth Prince so excited.

"You go down first!"

"Yes, the Fourth Prince!"

After Mangtai left, the fourth prince ordered, "Quick, go and invite General Mubei over."

"Yes, the Fourth Prince!"

Soon the rugged General Mubei was invited over, "I'm here to see the Fourth Prince."

The fourth prince is very excited now, "General Mubei, there is good news. Qi Meng sent a letter saying that the eldest lady of the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion is in Yanbei City."

"The prince said it was Zhao Zhen's wife?"

The fourth prince nodded, "That's her, hahaha, what good news."

Mu Bei shook his head. "She is just his wife. The fact that she is in Yanbei City shows that Zhao Nanxiao and Zhao Zhen do not value her. We have sent people to capture Zhao Nanxiao's family for a long time, but to no avail.

Now she is just his daughter-in-law, not his son.

I think it is difficult to exchange that woman for the emperor's uncle and the prime minister! ! "

The fourth prince was still a little hesitant, "What if that woman is pregnant? Zhao Nanxiao won't ignore his unborn grandson, right?"

General Mubei was still not optimistic, but he did not continue to object. "Prince, the most urgent thing is to bring that woman to the military camp. Let's use her to challenge him."

The fourth prince's eyes sparkled. "Even if Zhao Nanxiao and Zhao Zhen remain unmoved, I will make them completely lose face in front of the Han soldiers, hahahaha!"

General Mubei thought of the hostages among the Han people and suggested: "Prince, please send a letter to the King of Jin of the Shang Dynasty as soon as possible, asking him to speed up the action and put pressure on Zhao Nanxiao as soon as possible, otherwise our army will be stuck here, which will not be good for us.

I heard soldiers in the army complain that many of them missed the grassland.

The Han people really can't get used to this place. We have to get back to the grassland as soon as possible after we have robbed the things."

The fourth prince nodded, "Yes, we need to hurry up and urge Shang Yunzhuo. When will the princess who promised to marry come over?

This prince doesn't have much patience to waste time with him. "

The Fourth Prince led the Hu army to attack the city this time. In addition to wanting to weaken the power of the Zhenbei Army, he also wanted to delay him.

The King of Jin wanted to weaken the King of Qi's military strength. Ever since he learned that the King of Qi's lieutenant general and the Marquis of Zhenbei had become in-laws, the King of Jin could no longer sit still.

As a result, secret cooperation was reached with the Xianbei and Turkic upper classes.

Of course, after the success, he would ascend the throne as emperor, cede land and pay compensation to the two countries, and then marry the princess to them.

"General Mubei, please send a team of men to Yanbei City as soon as possible and bring that woman to me."

Mu Bei laughed, "Yes, Fourth Prince, I will arrange for someone right away."

Suitai City.

Song Zhirou was well behaved for a few days. She no longer made a fuss about going out, and Xiao Anzi didn't watch her as closely anymore.

At this time, the door opened and a little maid with her head lowered came out carrying a basket.

As usual, Xiao Anzi checked the basket to see if there was anything in it except the letter, and then let the maid go.

Song Zhirou, disguised as a maid, left the yard and walked out hurriedly.

She followed her memory, walked outward, gradually left the backyard and headed towards the outer courtyard.

When Hu Wanchou, who was patrolling the outer courtyard, saw Song Zhirou, his eyes moved slightly. Seeing that Song Zhirou seemed to be looking for someone, he moved closer and asked, "Auntie Song, who are you looking for?"
