In the past few days Xia Shuning was always frowning, Zhao Xiyan wanted to appear cheerful when he came back, but unfortunately his acting skills were poor, Zhao Xiyan still noticed Xia Shuning's frowning.Zhao Xiyan asked the reason, and Xia Shuning saw his cheerful appearance without any worries every day, and he hesitated to speak every time he came to his mouth.When Zhao Xiyan heard that a woman was pregnant, her emotions changed and she didn't think too much about it. Every time, she changed ways to make her happy.Lin Haotian would show up every two days to ask Xia Shuning when to leave, but Xia Shuning always delayed.

The paper and pens in the academy were almost gone that day, and the books had to be replaced, so Zhao Xiyan went down the mountain to buy them.Xia Shuning was afraid that Lin Haotian would run directly to Zhao Xiyan and ask him to return to the capital, so she followed him down the mountain.Seeing that she had a big belly, Zhao Xiyan advised her not to follow her.Xia Shuning insisted on following her down the mountain, saying that she was suffocated to death after not going out for a long time, so Zhao Xiyan agreed and guarded her tightly all the way.As soon as Zhao Xiyan, Xia Shuning and their party arrived in the town, they hurried to the bookstore and ordered a lot of things.But the shopkeeper said that he would tie it up and load it on the truck. Zhao Xiyan saw that the guy had to wrap it up for a long time, so he took Xia Shuning to the teahouse to rest.

The two of them were drinking tea, but someone couldn't hold back and wanted to make a move.It turned out that the prince's minions had also arrived in this town, and they had been squatting for several days, and today they finally met King Duan.The leader gave his companion a wink, and saw that there were fewer people in the teahouse, so he came out with a knife.Seeing someone rushing here, Zhao Xiyan hurriedly protected Xia Shuning.Lin Haotian has been leading people to follow King Duan. When he sees someone trying to kill King Duan, how can he just sit idly by and immediately bring people out to resist.Zhao Xiyan escorted Xia Shuning to a safe place, and saw Lin Haotian hacking and killing those who wanted to take his life.The people on the street, seeing the two sides fighting, ran away for fear of harming the fish in the pond.The shopkeeper and waiter of the teahouse even hid under the table, trembling.

"Ning'er, how are you? Are you surprised?"

"Sir, I'm fine."

"They found us."

"Under the whole world, is it possible that the king's land can't hide from the left and right."

Zhao Xiyan took Xia Shuning a little further away, but who knew that the two minions of the prince ran out from the entanglement of the hidden guards of Duanwang's mansion, and came straight to Zhao Xiyan.Zhao Xiyan was not the county king who was slaughtered by others back then. He had experienced many battles and asked Ruoshui and the servant to take good care of Xia Shuning, and fight with the gangster with a long sword with his bare hands.After all, it was with bare hands, another person was about to stab Xia Shuning with a long sword, Zhao Xiyan was shocked, turned around and kicked that person to the ground, but because the person behind Xia Shuning was stabbed Zhao Xiyan's shoulder.Zhao Xiyan picked up the long sword on the ground, first killed the man on the ground, then raised the sword to kill the man who stabbed him, and sealed his throat with one sword.Xia Shuning was shocked just now, her stomach hurts, Zhao Xiyan was terrified.

"Ning'er!"

"Sanggong, don't worry about me, go and help them. We can't leave without getting rid of them."

Zhao Xiyan nodded, settled down Xia Shuning, and asked Ruoshui and the servant to protect her first.Zhao Xiyan jumped into the melee, raised his sword and dropped it, and together with the secret guards of Prince Duan's residence, killed these minions sent by the prince.After a while, because there were more secret guards in Duanwang Mansion, Zhao Xiyan and the secret guards worked together to kill these minions, leaving no one alive.Zhao Xiyan hurried back to Xia Shuning's side, sweating profusely.Corpses were lying around the teahouse, stained with blood.

"Ning'er, is it still hurting now? Let's find a doctor quickly."

"No, I was just a little frightened. It's all right. I'm the doctor."

"Subordinate Lin Haotian and his subordinates, see the prince, see the side concubine!"

"Get up!"

"Thank you, my lord, and my concubine."

"This is not a place to talk, go find a secluded place and talk back."

Lin Haotian led Zhao Xiyan to the yard they rented, and Zhao Xiyan refused to leave Xia Shuning for a moment, for fear that something might happen to her.Xia Shuning always smiled slightly, shook his hand back and told him it was okay.Zhao Xiyan placed Xia Shuning on the chair, and sent Lin Haotian to find a soft cushion for Xia Shuning to lean on before sitting down with peace of mind.

"How did you find this place?"

"In May, my subordinates were looking for the prince's traces in Xunyang City. One day, someone shot in with an arrow and brought a letter. The letter said that the prince and the side concubine were on Wuyi Mountain. The subordinates reported to the imperial concubine. Empress, the imperial concubine is going to come down to invite the prince and the side concubine to return to the capital. The subordinates and their subordinates avoid the prince's eyes and ears, pretending to be businessmen all the way. I didn't expect the prince's men to follow, and they can cover it up well. This has frightened the prince and the side concubine, the subordinates deserve death."

"My lord knows, and my lord agreed to return to Beijing." Lin Haotian couldn't believe his ears. The lord escaped from the capital through untold hardships, and for this reason, he gave them Mongolian sweat medicine, and he followed them back so easily. Beijing.

"Subordinates take orders!"

The same Xia Shuning couldn't believe her ears, she couldn't believe that a gentleman who was so greedy for the peace and happiness of the tea village would agree to return to Beijing.I thought he would rather die than go back, but he agreed so simply, Xia Shuning began to not understand the person next to her pillow.Zhao Xiyan turned his head to the side and gave Xia Shuning a firm look, smiling.

"Going back to Beijing is for sure, and you will send a letter of divorce to the queen mother and concubine, saying that the king will definitely bring his side concubine to Beijing within two months."

"The subordinates can write the report."

"Go ahead, you wait to escort the king and concubine back to the tea village, guard around the tea village, send a group to search the town to see if there are any remaining party members, and kill them on the spot. Also, try your best Don't disturb the people. The concubine was frightened by her pregnancy today, so she needs to recuperate for a few days and set off immediately!"

Lin Haotian was overjoyed, and hurriedly knelt on the ground again and "obeyed".Lin Haotian personally escorted Zhao Xiyan and Xia Shuning back to the tea village, and the rest of them continued to pretend to be businessmen to search for the prince's remnant party to prevent King Duan from being injured again.Along the way, Zhao Xiyan didn't speak, but his eyes were full of firmness and a little bit of hostility.Xia Shuning didn't know why Zhao Xiyan suddenly changed from before, but seeing him thinking deeply, it was not easy to disturb him.

After returning to the tea village, the hidden guards hid themselves.Ruoshui and the servant waited on Zhao Xiyan and Xia Shuning for dinner, Zhao Xiyan hurriedly ordered Ruoshui to fry the bowl of the Thirteen Taibao.Zhao Xiyan paid too much attention to this child and could not tolerate any mistakes.At night, Zhao Xiyan poured hot water to wash Xia Shuning's feet, but remained silent.Until going to bed, Zhao Xiyan stood outside the window looking at the bright moon.Xia Shuning knew that he had something on his mind, but she was very confused by agreeing to return to Beijing today, so she asked first.

"Sir, why did you suddenly agree to return to Beijing?"

"The tree wants to be quiet but the wind doesn't stop. I gave up everything, but the crown prince still wants to trouble me. If I don't go back, how can I protect you?"

"You don't have to go back to the capital for me. Now the capital is in great danger. Lin Haotian told me that Prince Zhuang, Prince Yu, and Prince Yi have all been deprived of power by the crown prince, and are now under house arrest. Go back now, crown prince." How can I let it go."

"How many years have the second brother, fifth brother, and seventh brother quit fighting for the crown prince? Didn't the prince give up? Now that I have retired to the mountains, I am already a dead person in the world. Didn't the prince give up? A little luck, he lived in seclusion, he can still have some kindness, and he will not do anything because of the brotherhood. Now he is chasing and killing, almost killing you and your child. How can I sit still if I want to kill them all!"

"Master!"

"It's not that I don't have the strength to compete with him, it's just that I don't want my father to suffer from the heir taking over the heir again, and the white-haired man giving away the black-haired man when I grow old. All my uncles died at the hands of my father." , I once found the writings written by the emperor's grandfather before his death in my father's study. It was full of blood and tears. As an emperor, I have nothing to say. I retreated and retreated, and there was no way to retreat behind me. .”

"I would like to give up everything and escape here. I would like to let him be a mirror of glory and wealth. Brothers, sisters and parents can abandon it. It's not that I am cruel. I really don't want the royal children to kill generation after generation. It is not true for a father to treat a mother and a concubine. But when Shisan and I had so much father-son friendship, I was asked to kill the prince, the second brother, the fifth brother, the seventh brother, and the little fourteenth, and asked him to send the white-haired man to the black-haired man , how can I do that?"

"I don't want to kill Boren, but Boren wants to kill me. I don't regret dying, how can I bear to leave you? There is also an unborn child in my womb. Now I don't have the same hug as I did when I fought against Mobei. With the determination to die and win, I really want to spend my life with you happily."

"However, things in the world are not so smooth, and most of them are contrary to our wishes. I want to go back to Beijing, and I want to compete with the prince, protect you, protect the child, protect the father, mother and concubine, and protect Duan Wangfu. I don't want to sit and wait for death. Yes, I have had enough of being persecuted. It’s okay to kill me, but not you and your children.”

"You keep asking me how I got to Yangzhou, but I don't want to tell. The day I woke up from falling off the cliff, I climbed from the jungle with my hands for two days before arriving at Rongluo Village. Begging all the way, several times I fainted from hunger on the street, and people robbed the jade pendant..."

"Stop talking, Mr. Xiang." Xia Shuning kept asking Zhao Xiyan what he had been through these days and why he was so down and out since Zhao Xiyan woke up.Zhao Xiyan is always reluctant to say more, his face is serious and hostile, and he just hides it.Hearing that Zhao Xiyan had such a miserable life, he couldn't help but burst into tears and hugged Zhao Xiyan tightly through his big belly.

"We have to go back to the capital. If we succeed here, we will live forever, and if we fail, we will die without burial. Will you follow me?"

"No matter who you are, bitter or sweet, I will follow you."

The waning moon outside the window, the cold moonlight, how can I sleep tonight?The next day, Zhao Xiyan told the villagers about going home. The villagers were reluctant to part with such a kind-hearted and good-looking person, and the students were reluctant to part with such a good teacher and mistress.The moon is cloudy and sunny, and people have joys and sorrows, how can we stay?If you don't leave, the tea village is discovered by the prince, and after all, you can't escape Tucun's magic knife.Zhao Xiyan gave the village head a total of 200 taels for the students' study expenses, and entrusted the village head to find someone to teach.In the evening, Zhao Xiyan took Aunt Liu to bid farewell again, but Sibao didn't want them to leave, so Xia Shuning's eyes were red.The poisonous sage had been down the mountain for a long time for unknown reasons, and Zhao Xiyan knew that his whereabouts were uncertain, so he only took some small items with him, and kept everything else intact, even leaving a letter on the table.

In the early morning of this day, everyone knew that Zhao Xiyan and Xia Shuning were leaving, so they all came to see them off.The villagers urged them to come back with their children to have a look. Zhao Xiyan felt miserable and agreed.The villagers wrapped all the new tea and gave them a lot.The villagers knew that Xia Shuning was pregnant, so they killed the chicken and gave it to them. Zhao Xiyan couldn't laugh or cry, and it was hard to take it back for the villagers to take back.

"Side concubine, don't look at it. I will send you and the prince back here to visit them in the future."

"it is good."

Xia Shuning refused to get in the car for a long time, looking back at the simple and kind villagers, who kept waving their hands to see them off over and over again.Until the dust is flying, until the carriage disappears, until there are only two ruts left.Zhao Xiyan held Xia Shuning's hand tightly all the way to comfort her.Some people are really doomed, no matter how they escape, they cannot escape their fate.If he is destined, then this bet should be taken, and if he made the bet, he should win.The road back to Beijing was so long, Xia Shuning was pregnant, so she stopped and walked.The closer they were to the capital, the heavier Zhao Xiyan's and Xia Shuning's hearts became, and the more reticent they were. It was only over a year away from the capital, but it seemed like a hundred years had passed.
