The man opened his eyes wide in shock and looked at us, then moved his eyes down in surprise, and saw my high raised belly, and his face was filled with disbelief.

Suddenly, his long sword, which was as powerful as a thunderbolt, completely relaxed his strength at this moment.

Huang Tianba's eyes sank and his eyes also looked at me. At this moment, a sudden pain came from my stomach and I bent down.

"ah--"

This low shout shocked the two men. The man raised his wrist and immediately raised his sword upwards. That was the stopping gesture of a student from Xishan Academy when he was practicing sword. Huang Tianba immediately understood and hurriedly stopped and helped me: "What's wrong with you?"

"My... belly..."

I gritted my teeth and said these words, and cold sweat was already pouring down my forehead.

Huang Tianba must have experienced many big scenes in his life, and probably never experienced such a thing before. He was suddenly a little panicked and hurriedly held my shoulder and said, "What's wrong? Is it a child? I'll take you to find a doctor!"

After saying that, he half held me and was about to turn around and leave, when he looked up and saw the student, the two of them looked at each other, and seemed to be stunned for a moment.

The student looked at us, and the expression on his face was also very strange.

The atmosphere was a little stiff, but it was also a moment. He didn't say a word, slowly pulled the sword back, and turned to the side.

Huang Tianbadao: "Thank you."

The man looked at me again and said, "No need to thank me. Your account will always be settled."

Huang Tianba's eyes were still as deep as the night color. He helped me walk past that person without saying a word.

When I passed by, I kept bent over and looked at my high bulge, but even so, I could still feel the look of that person's eyes, which were as sharp as a knife, and it hurt a little.

.

Huang Tianba carefully protected me all the way, walking along the river to the entrance of the village. The faint lights of thousands of homes in front of me were shining on people's pale faces, which seemed to be a little warm. Even the cold and ruthless people would soften and soft because of their homes.

My bent waist slowly straightened up and breathed gently.

Huang Tianba turned to look at me, frowned slightly: "Qingying, you--"

"It's much better," I smiled reluctantly, wiped the cold sweat from my forehead with my cuffs, looked at his puzzled eyes, and smiled: "In this month, fetal movement is normal, but just now, I really scared me."

Huang Tianba looked at me and his eyes flashed: "Qingying, you... seem to know that person?"

My heart hopped secretly, but the expression on my face still did not change. I nodded calmly and said, "I've seen him."

“Where is it?”

"In the brothel in the town, this man has been preaching, saying something about resisting the court and being ruthless. Liu San'er will also listen."

Huang Tianba frowned: "Does there be many people listening?"

I nodded: "Many of the students who were unable to refer to the fraud in this imperial examination have come."

Huang Tianba frowned even more, pondered for a while, and said to me: "You'd better take care of Liu San'er and don't let him go to that place again during this period."

I was a little surprised. He just said that a man had to walk his own way, why did he ask me to take care of Liu Saner now? He was about to ask, and he seemed to have seen what I was thinking, saying, "This person's background is not simple, and his appearance is not just his own. I'm afraid there will be chaos in the south."

I was slightly stunned and looked at him with wide eyes.

"Although the news from the north has not been passed down yet, I believe that he will be able to withstand this time. Once the winter comes, the emperor will definitely take advantage of the winter to govern the three southern provinces and completely stabilize the side. Otherwise, if the victory in Beijing begins, if the southern part is still unstable, he will really have no way to go."

"You mean - Pei Yuanhao, will you clean up these students?"

Huang Tianba nodded silently.

I don't know if my face was pale under the light, but at this moment, my heart still trembled. After a while, I nodded gently and said, "I understand. Master Huang, you should be careful, they--"

Huang Tianba waved his hand, stopped me from continuing and said, "You go back quickly."

I didn't say anything else, nodded and turned back, but just after I took two steps, I heard Huang Tianba's voice ringing behind me - "Qingying."

I looked back at him.

The night was dark, but his charming eyes were still shimmering in the night. Although they were not tired, they were so restrained that they could not ignore it. He looked at me and said thoughtfully: "You... must be careful too."

I smiled faintly, turned around and continued to walk home.

.

After returning home that night, although it seemed that nothing had happened, my pale face and frequent cold sweats also shocked Liu San'er. He invited the doctor and said that my month was approaching and I would have to take a rest during this period, so that no one could watch me at home.

Although there are many people in my family, there is no one to pay for it. In this way, Liu San'er stayed at home with me and never left.

In this way, another half a month passed quietly.

Although life is dull, it is also fun. After getting up every day, Liu Saner would help me walk around the yard for a few times. Sometimes, neighbors would come to deliver some egg supplements. In order to prevent me from being tired, he volunteered to take charge of lunch and dinner. But when he thought of the deeds that almost burned the house, I didn't dare to relax, so he simply moved a chair and sat at the kitchen door to direct him.

But this person couldn't get any smoke from the oil, and he could even cook a dish so hot that he screamed, and he wished I could use a spatula to beat him.

On that day, when smoke was rising from every family, Liu Saner was busy in the kitchen, but she found that there was no rice in the rice jar and she couldn't cook the pot, so she immediately took some money to buy rice and told me not to go into the kitchen and to cook when he came back.

I was sitting in the room, and when I heard him close the yard door, Aunt Liu asked in the inner room. I agreed to her, and slowly walked to the kitchen door, looked at the half-cut radish, sighed, walked in, picked up the kitchen knife and cut it.

After cutting it twice, the gate of the courtyard was opened.

I was still snatching the radish, and after a while, I felt a figure appear at the kitchen door, blocking the light outside.

I frowned slightly but didn't say anything. I slowly turned my head until the last cut.

There seemed to be a fog in front of me.

For a moment, I seemed a little confused, as if I saw the towering western mountain, green and tall, standing on the vast land of Western Sichuan. The warm and humid weather brought milky white clouds and mist were like a piece of clothes, shrouded on the western mountain, and it never faded over the years. In a trance, I felt that the mountain was a person, and the fog was a piece of clothing, like an immortal and an illusion, making people unable to distinguish between reality and dreams.

At this moment, I seemed to be back to that time, standing at the foot of the mountain, looking up at the view of the mist.

"Miss."

A low voice rang in my ears, pulling my mind back.

My eyes sterned, and then I saw clearly that the person in front of me was the one who preached and solved doubts in the Xiangyuan Courtyard and also killed Huang Tianba with a sharp sword that night.

I frowned slightly.

He dusted his sleeves, bowed his hands, bowed to me, and performed an ancient ceremony.

These ancient rituals have been deposed one by one since the royal family entered the pass from the north to rule the Central Plains. There are very few people who are still alright. Only those who still retain the old system and refuse to surrender to the court will perform such rituals.

I was still standing still, looking at him faintly.

"I didn't expect to meet a lady here. That night made the lady frightened. Please forgive me."

"I don't know you."

"When the lady traveled to the West Mountains, there were tens of thousands of students, but the lady didn't know her, and it was not surprising at all."

"I haven't been to Xishan either."

"Miss, you don't have to hide it. Although I have been away for several years, my appearance has not changed and my temperament has not changed. I can still recognize her."

"I'm not the lady you mentioned, I'm just a village woman."

The man still said respectfully: "If you are just an ordinary village woman, you must not know someone like Huang Tianba. The lady doesn't have to hide it. I think the lady has left her husband at home these days, so I have to do it on purpose. Because of him, I have not been able to show up to meet with the lady."

When I mentioned Liu Saner, my brows frowned.

"Miss' marriage, I won't say much, but-" the man looked at my face, then looked at my belly, and said, "The news has been sent back. The young master will be very happy to know that the lady is still in the world, and I believe it will be--"

Before he finished speaking, my eyes suddenly became dark.

That kind of black is a kind of black that penetrates the soul, like a black hand of fate, shaking everyone's throat. No matter how hard you struggle or suffer, you can't get rid of his shackles until you die!

And at this moment, a severe pain came from the hand.

Because of this pain, I suddenly woke up. When I looked down, I saw that the kitchen knife accidentally cut my fingers. The red blood immediately flowed out, soaked in the snow-white shredded radish on the chopping board, red and white, looking so dazzling.

The man also saw the blood on my hand and was a little panicked for a moment, as if he wanted to come over, but looking at my face, he didn't dare to step forward rashly. He looked around and frowned and said, "As a lady, I really shouldn't be wronged to be in such a place. Although Liu Saner is not bad, but in the end-"

I turned my head and stared at him.

The man's words were glared by my eyes and swallowed them. He seemed to take a step back involuntarily. I slowly walked forward, looked into his eyes, and said word by word: "I'm not a lady, and I don't know what you are saying. There is one thing, please tell me clearly."

“…”

"Liu Saner is my husband. I don't allow anyone to make any decisions about him. No matter how small or a little bit, no matter how small or a little bit."

“…”
