Chapter 1290 Chapter 1290: Besieged on all sides [Please vote]
It is impossible to hibernate in hibernation.
Gong Xiqiu wanted to hibernate and have some leisure time, but it depended on his elder brother's consent. On the same day, Fang Yan used the excuse of "shortage of beds" to kick him out. This made Gong Xiqiu complain: "Brother, am I your biological brother, or am I someone you picked up?"
Jimo Qiu said: "I have to ask my parents."
Gong Xiqiu thought of Jimo Can's ashes urn, eating steamed buns with side dishes: "Humph, I really want to ask him when I go back this time!"
Jimo Qiu knew that he was having a temper, so he didn't care.
It's just a bit tiring.
It's not as if Gong Xiqiu is immature in his wisdom. He is actually in his forties, but his temper and behavior are still as willful as those of a naughty boy in his teens. Not to mention other things, just the rumor that "my eldest brother is about to give birth" will not become more and more outrageous as long as it is more prudent. Brothers get along day and night, how can he not know if something is going on?
First, men are normally infertile;
Secondly, even if you can have children, there is still a process.
Gong Xiqiu still felt wronged.
These grievances were instantly replaced by unwilling jealousy and anger when he saw the little red flower that seemed to be snickering. He pursed his lips sourly: "This flower is not my eldest brother's... child, so why do you raise it?"
Forget about Mama, who made her a sacred object in the clan?
Why can a flower be ranked ahead of me to bully him?
Is it possible that his family status is really that of younger brother?
Jimo Qiu said: "The situation is complicated."
It cannot be explained clearly in a few words, especially when it is explained clearly to Gong Xiqiu, which requires twice as much saliva: "It...is considered a gift from His Highness. It carries the opportunity of this place."
Gong Xiqiu was really stunned when he heard this.
"What 'opportunity here'?"
Jimo Qiu raised his finger and pointed at the location of his Adam's apple, and said helplessly: "The secret of heaven must not be leaked, I can't tell it. However, it was transplanted here by His Highness's hands, and it was irrigated and grown by my divine power... In a sense, it is also Are they considered adoptive parents?”
Gong Xiqiu asked: "Why aren't they biological parents?"
Jimo Qiu shook his head: "Because it doesn't work."
Not to mention that in this life of His Highness, even the previous deity would not be able to give birth to an heir. Firstly, heaven and earth do not allow it, and His Highness himself can live as long as heaven and earth. If you still covet the continuation of your heirs, you will be punished by God if you are not greedy enough. Secondly, even if you use means to have heirs, the heirs are destined to have mediocre qualifications and a short life span like ordinary creatures. And there are many ups and downs after reincarnation.
If it was just an adoption relationship, it wouldn't be a big problem.
Gong Xiqiu felt a toothache when he looked at the flower.
Do Tan Qu and others know that their future Queen Mother is still a flower? He wanted to reach out and touch his future niece, but his fingertips were shaken by the green leaves that suddenly stretched out before he could get close, and the whole flower circled behind Jimo Qiu.
"Tan Qu and the others...won't admit it, right?" Although he still had many questions, Gong Xiqiu absolutely trusted Jimo Qiu, and when the latter wanted to tell him, he would naturally tell him. Gong Xiqiu was now curious, "Does Mama know about this?"
Jimo Qiu shook his head: "I probably don't know."
Giving flowers was a thing of the past many years ago.
If His Highness has an impression, it is impossible not to ask.
Gong Xiqiu gasped: "Mama doesn't even know that she has an adopted daughter? Will the origin of this child be unknown in the future?"
Jimo Qiu was not worried at all.
"We'll find out later."
In the future, if His Highness succeeds in overcoming the tribulation, and if he wants to successfully settle the cause and effect in the mortal world, he must have an excellent successor, otherwise it will be difficult to let go. The origin of this child's identity is just right. It itself was transformed into the hope and obsession of the human race, and was taken out of the holy land of mountains and seas by chance. If he can come to the human world smoothly, he must be the master of enlightenment.
Gong Xiqiu stopped talking.
Jimo Qiu has been with his younger brother for several years, and he has a clear understanding of his temper. To put it harshly, Gong Xiqiu stuck out his butt, and he knew what his old brother was holding back.
Then he reminded the other party: "This matter is rotten in the stomach."
"Don't tell Mama?"
If instead of Shen Tang but an ordinary master, he rashly approached the other party and told the other party, "You can't give birth, so I've arranged a daughter for you. Do you want a cheap daughter?", what awaited the brothers would definitely be a disaster. But this is Mama, and she is also the father-in-law. The sacred object of the Xi clan, the relationship between them is already unusual. Based on Gong Xiqiu's understanding of her, she must be happy to accept it.
Maybe one day in the morning meeting, he will suddenly hold up his wooden staff and tell all the ministers that your future princess is here!
With it, you no longer have to worry about heirs!
As for whether the minister can accept it?
Why can't you accept it?
The Gongxi clan can turn into plants after death, why can't living people give birth to a flower? As long as public opinion is well controlled, you can still get away with it. The rest is left to time and Xiao Honghua's performance. As long as she has Mama's 70% ability to govern the country, she can basically secure her position as the princess! As for why it can't be the crown prince? Don't ask, just ask because the internal customs of the Gongxi clan are like this!
Gong Xiqiu: "Tell her, she will definitely be happy."
Jimo Qiu looked at the little red flower and said, "The time has not come yet."
The secret of heaven is still chaotic, and this disaster has not passed yet.
The memories Jimo Qiu inherited told him that what he lacked most was time and waiting. As long as you wait patiently, the fog will clear and the moon will shine. What's more, Your Highness is not only Your Highness now, she is also a mortal, the head of a country, standing at the pinnacle of power.
When it comes to the issue of heirs, Gong Xiqiu cannot be easily accepted by people with just a few words. If someone takes advantage of the loophole, even if Mo Qiu proves it to himself, it will not work. Gong Xiqiu heard his concerns and whispered: "Brother is worried too much..."
Jimo Qiu said: "There are lessons to be learned from past mistakes."
"When did it happen?"
Is there any lesson learned from this?
Jimo Qiu suddenly said: "Many years ago."
Gong Xiqiu: "..."
Every time at this time, he was glad that he did not have too much curiosity or a stubborn temper to get to the bottom of things. Otherwise, if he encountered his eldest brother, who was full of secrets, spoke in secrets, and half-hidden what he said, he would be like a brother. To break up.
He stretched out: "Can I know in the future?"
Jimo Qiu looked at his face that was similar to his own, and after a while he said, "Everyone will know when the time comes."
With this guarantee, Gong Xiqiu won't worry anymore.
The remnants of the Southwest Allied Forces did not have his luck.
Kang Guo adhered to the sixteen-character tactic of "when the enemy advances, we retreat, when the enemy is stationed, we disturb, when the enemy is tired, we attack, when the enemy retreats, we pursue". The pursuit of the remaining Allied troops almost collapsed, and most of the small baggage and food were lost on the road. . The morale of the army was shaken, and deserters were increasing every day.
In the beginning, it can scare the monkeys.
Use **** and violent methods to deter soldiers who have the idea of escape.
As time went by, hunger, panic, and fatigue exceeded the critical point, causing the bottom soldiers to nearly collapse. Not running away is a dead end, and running away is a dead end, so it’s better to run away! There were so many deserters, and the Allies wanted to catch and kill them but not many of them were executed. As long as you were lucky, how could you not become the fish that slipped through the net?
With a sense of luck, more and more people are taking risks.
It's just that she doesn't have time to deal with these deserters now.
"...break out here." Her main focus now is on breaking out. As long as she can still break out, she will have the opportunity to use the terrain fortifications of the nearest military fortress to escape completely. The escape route in the past few days has also been paving the way for this. Others in the Allied Forces had opinions, but they were suppressed by the leader of Qi State. Even if they are full of grievances, they can only temporarily accumulate them and leave them to be liquidated later.
"Those people in Kangguo are not fools." There are scouts everywhere, and it is too difficult to hide them.
Breaking out here is not the best plan. Once exposed, Kang Guo can easily cut off the last way of survival. It is really too risky.
Mei Meng said: "I have old friends in the Kangguo camp."
As soon as she finished speaking, another scar-faced ally sneered disdainfully: "Mei Fang has been there for many years, and I have heard about it. Basically, the courtiers of Kang State are from the northwest. If there is an old friend of yours among them, I am afraid it was not when they were young. The guest of honor."
Can this kind of relationship be trusted?
The bed promise lasts only until you put on your pants.
There are some callous people who will not recognize it after pulling it out.
He thought Mei Jinghe was capable, but this is what happened?
The simple tent was instantly filled with the strong smell of gunpowder, and everyone held their breath, as if breathing louder could detonate it.
Mei Meng was unfazed by this.
She just looked at the value of the other person's body with eyes that looked at goods. For any superior, this kind of look is extremely humiliating: "What do you mean?"
"Are you jealous? Or do you feel inferior?"
"What nonsense are you talking about?"
Mei Meng said calmly: "Didn't you start the trouble first? Guess why I had so many guests in my early years, but now I have become more reticent? Of course it's because I've eaten good food and don't like bad food."
"you-"
Mei Meng looked at the scar that spanned most of his face.
The opponent's right eyelid is droopy and sunken, and the eyeball has been gouged out. He looks ugly and terrifying. Who would have thought that before he was injured, he was still a famous and talented man? He showed his goodwill to Mei Meng several times in secret and overtly, trying to truly conquer this woman who was inferior to one person in the Qi Kingdom and surpassed ten thousand people. After hitting the wall several times, love turned to hate...
"Who knows if you will take the opportunity to sell us to your mistress so that you can get rich?" Being humiliated by Mei Meng, he spoke in anger. But this is also what some people are worried about.
Mei Meng had an old acquaintance in Kangguo's camp and might indeed betray him.
"Huh, are you worried about me? I'm also worried about you and others being disloyal to the alliance." Mei Meng held the remaining food and supplies in her hands, while other companies had basically exhausted them, and there were many conflicts over the food and grass in the past two days.
The leader of Qi State appeared to end the quarrel between the two.
If Mei Meng is forced to a dead end, she can do anything.
Late this night.
Lu Jue received the bamboo tube secretly handed to him by his confidant.
He took the bamboo tube, looked at the writing on it, and then looked at the confidant he had trusted for many years. The main reason why Lu Jue promoted him as his confidant was because he was an old man who was freed from slavery in Mei Zhai. His father arranged for Lu Jue the chores of pruning flowers and plants in the backyard. Although it was said to be a chore, the work was actually easy, which was considered a favor to Lu Jue at the time.
Lu Jue always remembered this care.
Later, he returned to Sibao County and revisited his old place, and both parties recognized each other.
Seeing that the other party's family was living in poverty, Lu Jue took the initiative and took his youngest son to stay with him as a guard and took him to the battlefield. However, Lu Jue didn't expect that the other party would come looking for him with this thing. He was stunned for a moment: "Did anyone else see it?"
"Go back to General, no one is there."
When he replied, his body shook into chaff.
From the moment he helped pass the bamboo tube, he revealed the truth that his family had always been in contact with the Mei family. Lu Jue might kill himself for the sake of his future, but the expected death did not come. Lu Jue crushed the bamboo tube and took out the note inside.
Lu Jue asked his men to prepare their horses and prepare to leave the camp: "I hope you have already thought of how to explain to me when I come back."
However, he left on the front foot and his confidant hanged himself on the back foot.
The remnants of the Southwest Allied Forces.
Mei Meng wore a starched white cloak and looked at the moon in trance.
"What's that sound?"
There seems to be a whimpering and resentful sound in the wind?
It was vague at first and she couldn't hear it clearly. She thought it was wild beasts and birds of prey in the mountains disturbing people. Just as Mei Meng was about to listen carefully, a scout came over to report something unusual happening outside the camp. Kang Guo sent people to sing nearby, and the songs were still homesick tunes from the southwest.
Mei Meng couldn't help but laugh after being surprised.
Huanda said: "This is the treatment of the Overlord of Chu."
Being surrounded by enemies on all sides and being isolated and helpless, it was quite appropriate for the situation.
She said: "Just order the scribes accompanying the army to set up military formations."
As long as they can't hear it, it's ineffective. They can sing all night long if they want, even if they sing with hoarse voices. The military formation was set up, and the homesick tune was no longer in the wind. Seeing that the time was about to enter the second half of the night, Mei Meng smelled the aroma of food wafting in the air.
Gulu, Gulu.
The soldiers who went to bed hungry couldn't bear to wake up one by one.
Smell the smell, seems to be more hungry.
The scouts reported back that several groups of people were cooking rice in pots at the wind outlet. There was not only the smell of rice but also the smell of meat in the air. God knows how long it has been since the Allied soldiers had any contact with oil and water? Just smelling the smell makes me drool like crazy.
Even though they couldn't smell the fragrance, the soldiers could still tighten their belts and endure it.
The pain of being able to smell but not eat is like someone stuffing a handful of bugs into their stomachs. The stronger the smell of the food, the more active the bugs are, gnawing at their internal organs. As time went by, the originally quiet camp gradually became noisy. No matter how many centurions scolded them, it had no effect. Instead of restraining the movement, the noise became louder and louder, making people's hearts wander.
Hungry…
So hungry.
The night passed extremely long.
On the second day, many soldiers looked depressed.
The soldiers with martial spirit were better, but the ordinary soldiers suffered a lot and were all listless. Even if they receive more food today than yesterday, it still won't make them smile.
Just as night fell, a familiar tune came again in the wind.
Today's sound is much clearer than yesterday. Before the Allied forces took measures to isolate the sound, some soldiers could not help but sing along, crying while singing, and their hearts full of grievances and thoughts rushed out. This sentiment spread like a virus.
The aroma of food pushes this emotion to its peak.
Mei Meng listened to the news coming continuously: "These people in Kangguo... really like to use scheming. How are the preparations over there? Tomorrow morning, let a group of people escape... Since they want to break the morale of our army, Then their wish will be fulfilled.”
