After Li Ce finished speaking, Taotao and Qiqi had already rushed to Chu Nanzhi. His fierce gaze suddenly turned around, and he opened his round and big eyes and blinked at her tenderly, and stretched out his long
His tongue touched the palm of her hand to show intimacy.
Chu Nanzhi had already learned from Tang Che that Tang Yi had personally led 50,000 cavalry to Langzhou, but Chen Chuan had not yet come to join him, so he was afraid that the situation would be in danger.
She immediately climbed onto Taotao's tiger's back, grabbed the skin tightly, and shouted to Sangqi: "Sit on, let's go into the city first."
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Taotao pedaling hard towards Anhe County.
Li Ce beheaded Tang Che, and the Yizhou advance army that caught up lost its backbone. For a while, he did not dare to continue chasing, so he had to turn back and inform Tang Yi.
Li Ce led the dead soldiers to quickly turn their horses and rush to Anhe County in a dusty way.
After leaving the mountain road, it was a smooth river. Without the bumps before, Chu Nanzhi felt much more at ease.
After running for several miles in the dark night, I was finally able to see the gate of Anhe County illuminated by burning torches.
A long distance away, a few familiar figures immediately revealed a long-lost joy on her face.
"Ms. Chu, oh no, I will pay my respects to Princess Pingning."
Hu Maoxi came forward happily and was about to help her down, but when he saw the giant beast in front of him, he couldn't help but be startled.
"These two white tigers are the two young tiger cubs we rescued in Duanlong Mountain last year."
Chu Nanzhi jumped off the tiger's back, looked at the fearful eyes of Hu Maoxi and the guards around him, and hurriedly explained: "They are very well-behaved and won't hurt anyone."
"Oh, really?"
Hu Maoxi smiled stiffly. He had never seen a big insect that did not hurt people.
After hesitating for a long time, I realized that the two tigers were indeed very docile, and I was relieved.
Seeing that her pregnancy was very obvious, but she still had to endure such bumps, she urged with great distress: "The old lady, your highness, the princess and the two elders have already entered the city. Princess, hurry up and follow the official into the city."
Chu Nanzhi looked behind her worriedly and saw figures dancing in the distance, rushing towards this side. It wasn't until she confirmed that it was Li Ce that she nodded with relief and followed Hu Maoxi into Anhe.
The county seat of the county.
Looking at the low and dilapidated city wall, Chu Nanzhi said with some worry: "The governor of Yizhou has led 50,000 cavalry to pursue him."
Before she could finish her words, Hu Maoxi immediately took over: "Princess, rest assured. The mountain road to this point in Zhoukang County is rugged. It will take time for Tang Yi to rush here and wait for the army to gather. The lower official has already sent people to Langzhou City to inform the Governor.
Reinforcements will arrive soon."
Li Ce was worried about the fetus in her belly. He led the horse and persuaded her earnestly: "Brother and sister-in-law, leave it to me to resist the Yizhou Army. You have to have a good night's rest after traveling all the way."
As he spoke, he lowered his voice and reminded in a low voice: "Brother has sent He Ying to meet us outside Langzhou City. As long as we leave Langzhou, we can return to Luyan Port smoothly."
Thinking that she would be able to see the pretty girl soon, Chu Nanzhi couldn't help but feel excited at this moment.
But after drifting on the water for nearly half a month, she didn't know what Pingningzhou's current situation was, so she hurriedly asked: "Is he okay?"
"Before I came, my brother had already put down the troubles caused by Tang Ru and Kang Xiu."
At this point, Li Ce suddenly frowned: "It's just that Prince Xie disappeared. Just after the New Year, His Highness the Baiyu Kingdom led an army of 150,000 people from both land and water to attack the southern border, Ping Ning Prefecture and several counties.
The two southern states were in emergency one after another and asked my brother for help."
"It's been such an eventful time."
Chu Nanzhi couldn't help but shook his head.
Fortunately, he has brought Xie Jingchen back. As long as he can return to Shita City safely, the Baiyu Rebellion will be resolved immediately.
When she arrived at the hotel where Hu Maoxi was staying, before she had time to visit her little treasures, she wrote a letter and prepared to pass the news of Xie Jingchen's departure from Beijing to Lin Jinxiao using a carrier pigeon, so that he could have a more secure response.
After taking care of this top priority, she headed to the quadruplets' bedroom.
Seeing her daughter return, Liu Yun rushed forward with tears in her eyes and hugged her tightly, choking with sobs and scolding: "Da Zhi, how could you leave your mother and Xiaobao to fight the enemy alone? If Sanlang hadn't arrived in time,
How will you explain to your father and sisters when you return to Luyan Port?"
"I'm back in good health, right?"
Chu Nanzhi felt uncomfortable at this time.
She felt sorry for Chen Chuan and the Zhao family soldiers and guards who had sacrificed their lives for her, but in order to prevent everyone from being sad together, she could only say with a strong and calm smile: "Sanlang said that her husband has sent people to Langzhou.
We will be contacted outside the city and we will be able to go back soon."
"Grandma, we really want to see daddy."
The second and third treasures were afraid and the queen threw herself into her arms and cried.
"I know, your father also wants to see you as soon as possible."
Chu Nanzhi comforted the little treasures, but saw no trace of the two elders. She looked at Hu Maoxi with some worry and asked: "Mr. Nie, how is Mr. Chang? Are you still safe?"
Hu Maoxi sighed sadly: "After all, the two elders are old, and their bodies have long since fallen apart after all the hard work. Chang Lao coughed up blood as soon as he got off the carriage. He was in a hurry to ask the lower official to go out of the city to meet the princess, so the lower official had to let his wife go out to meet the princess.
I took Mr. Yunqing to ask for a doctor."
As soon as he finished speaking, a plump woman in a blue shirt walked in and said with a smile: "Princess, don't worry, the slave family has asked the doctor to check the pulse of the two elders and prescribe medicine. It's not serious, just need
A few days of rest will help you feel better."
After saying that, the woman walked straight forward, bowed her body to Chu Nanzhi with great enthusiasm, and said with sincere concern: "I heard from my humble husband that the princess is pregnant. It's been a bumpy journey, please hurry up."
The doctor should take the pulse of the princess and prescribe some medicine to soothe the fetus and calm the mind."
Liu Yun was also afraid that the fetus in Chu Nanzhi's belly would be strange, so she hurriedly thanked the woman: "Then Madam Lao, County Magistrate, please let the doctor come in quickly."
"Old lady, you're welcome."
After the woman said this, she immediately ushered in the doctor.
Although I had known Hu Maoxi for a long time and had been to the county government office in Luyan Port many times, this was the first time I met his wife, Hu Zhou, who was both powerful and capable.
Since before Hu Maoxi became an official, Zhou had been relying on his own skills to make a living to earn money for Hu Maoxi to study. He had seen a lot of things in the world and had developed a sophisticated temperament.
Seeing the highly favored Princess Pingning, there was no hint of timidity on her face. She kindly stepped forward to help Chu Nanzhi sit down, and said with a smile: "The slave family has asked the cook of Guanyi
I’ve stewed nourishing chicken soup and prepared meals. After the doctor checks the princess’s pulse, I’ll have some hot rice first and have a good night’s rest.”
"Thank you so much, Madam Magistrate."
Chu Nanzhi smiled gently at her, and then quietly stared at the doctor taking her pulse.
After a long time, the old doctor suddenly nodded knowingly and said: "The princess is really a miracle. She is still pregnant with Liujia and can still turn danger into good luck. The fetus in her belly is also doing well. The princess's pulse is normal and there is no sign of disorder. She is old and decrepit here."
Congratulations to the princess."
After she finished speaking, the conversation suddenly changed: "But the princess should still concentrate on raising the baby, and should not work too hard and run around any more."
After hearing this, Chu Nanzhi smiled bitterly.
If given a choice, who would risk their lives with a big belly?
