Chapter Five Hundred and Six: Thunder and Fire from the Sky
In front of the Zhou Kingdom’s camp
Many crossbowmen had already cocked their crossbows and stretched their bows to the full moon, just waiting for the Chu army to enter the shooting range.
The commander-in-chief was really foresight. He guessed early that the Chu army wanted to attack the camp at night, so he made preparations in advance.
But soon, Zhou Jun became impatient.
What happened to these Chu troops?
Waiting left but not coming, waiting right and not coming, this inevitably made many crossbowmen a little anxious. According to the speed just now, the Chu army should have entered the shooting range. Why did these Chu soldiers stop again? They drew their bows.
My hands are sore.
At this moment, they felt something sound above their heads, and they all raised their heads and looked up.
When Zhou Guo's crossbowmen raised their heads, they saw jar-like objects flying over their heads and falling towards the camp.
There seems to be some sparks on it...
Just when they were wondering what this was, bursts of rolling thunder suddenly came from the camp, which was louder than the last time when the Prince Xian's spear was like thunder.
It's like cracking half of the sky.
It was only when the Zhou archers turned their heads that they discovered that the places where the jars had fallen in the camp behind them were filled with flames and cracks, and some jars exploded in the air.
Every time a jar exploded, many soldiers would fall down, and there would be wailing sounds from everywhere in the camp.
Thunder and fire descend from the sky!
Zhou Jun Camp
Just as many soldiers were avoiding the thunder and fire, a jar fell from the sky. Just as many soldiers were hiding like frightened birds, the jar had been broken into pieces, exuding some viscous liquid, and then the second
,The third……
Suddenly a soldier said in panic: "No, it's kerosene!"
But his voice was covered by the sound of rolling thunder, and the kerosene was ignited.
A raging fire broke out in the former army camp of the Zhou Kingdom, and the number of casualties was unknown.
Zhou Kang, who was at the main camp of the Chinese army, saw such a scene in the former army camp. He couldn't help but show a look of horror on his face, and his body was a little unsteady: "What on earth is that thing?"
At this time, the great soldiers of the Zhou Kingdom were in panic.
Could it be that what just happened was a divine thunder from heaven?
Is this God helping Chu Jun?
The place where the Chu army
The general on the side clasped his fists and said: "Your Highness, the Zhou army must have been in chaos this time. If we rush over at this time, we will definitely defeat the Zhou army!"
Xiao Ye nodded, pulled out the black iron heavy sword, and said: "Stop bombardment vehicles! All soldiers obey orders! Light up torches and rush over! Completely defeat the Zhou army's front camp!"

Yuelai Inn
next day afternoon
The sun is already setting.
In the guest room, Xu Qing, who was sitting by the bed and holding Xiao Ruxue, opened her eyes.
After taking the second medicine at noon today, this girl insisted that Xu Qing stay with her until she fell asleep before leaving. As a result, as soon as she fell asleep, her hand couldn't be removed like it was at noon yesterday...
I have no choice but to watch here to see when she wakes up.
Xu Qing lowered his head and looked at Xiao Ruxue, who was still leaning on him, and said, "Get up when you wake up."
Xiao Ruxue, who was leaning motionless in Xu Qing's arms, opened one eye, moved it around to check the surrounding situation, and then closed it again: "I'm not awake..."
When Xu Qing heard this, he couldn't help laughing and said, "You're still talking when you're not awake?"
Xiao Ruxue closed her eyes and her long eyelashes trembled: "I didn't wake up."
Xu Qing smiled and said: "Okay, I'm not awake yet."
Xu Qing used his hands as a warm baby all afternoon to warm Xiao Ruxue's hands. The cold feeling no longer existed. It looked much better than yesterday.
As soon as this girl got a fever, her hands and feet were cold, her body was trembling, and she looked so weak when she was lying on the bed. He was so frightened that he thought she was seriously ill.
After all, it is better for knowledgeable subordinates to see the truth. The old doctor will know as soon as he takes a pulse that it is much better than it looks, and half of it is just an act.
Of course, Xu Qing didn't bother with Xiao Ruxue.
He knew from the time he raised a wife that sometimes a woman needs proper pampering.

Beijing
Prince Xian's Mansion
In a wing
Su Qian and Zheng Waner were sitting at the table together, holding plain cloth needles and threads in their hands. Sitting opposite them was Princess Xian, who was also holding these.
Princess Xian looked at them and said: "You two, one is very skilled in martial arts, the other is good at playing music, chess, calligraphy and painting, but neither of you is good at embroidery. When the time comes, are you going to ask an embroiderer to sew the clothes your children will wear?"
How can an embroiderer have a child whose mother sews it to fit? But fortunately, it’s not too late to learn now.”
Facing Princess Xian's lecture, Su Qian and Zheng Waner blushed one after another.
King Xian and Xiao Ye both went on an expedition against the enemy. The only people in the house were Princess Xian and Zheng Waner. Then Princess Xian thought that Xu Qing had also gone to Liuzhou, and Su Qian was at home alone. What if something unexpected happened?
Trouble, this is the first time for these two people to have a baby, so there is no room for surprises, and it would be fun if there were more people.
Princess Xian had given birth to two children, so she was naturally experienced. Taking care of one child was also caring, and caring for two children was also caring. So Princess Xian asked someone to take Su Qian to Prince Xian's mansion.
But when asked today if they had sewed clothes for their children, who knew that neither of them knew how to sew. She had no choice but to teach these two irresponsible expectant mothers.
Zheng Waner got pregnant earlier than Su Qian, and she was already slightly pregnant at this time.
Just when Princess Xian was teaching them basic skills, she suddenly said: "It just so happens that you two mothers are here. I don't think it's better to wait until the child is born. If they are both boys or girls, we will marry Jinlan.
If there is a boy and a girl, how about we arrange a baby kiss? Then we will also kiss each other one after another."
When Zheng Waner heard this, she raised her head and asked doubtfully: "Mother, concubine, it seems that Sister Su's family is not related to our family yet? How can this be considered a close relationship? It should be considered a marriage, so how can it be considered an additional close relationship?
?”
Princess Xian smiled and said: "When people get old, they become happy and confused. It is time to get married first and then get married again. At this time, the marriage has not yet been completed. How can we talk about getting married? Sooner or later, it will be a matter of time."
Su Qian on the side also smiled and said: "Of course I will follow the princess's arrangements."

night
Valley County
At this time, Gu County is brightly lit, with all kinds of lanterns hanging high in the sky, people walking on stilts parading the streets, hawking gadgets, and sugar blowers, all making it very lively.
All kinds of vendors are rushing for this day. There are not many lantern festivals a year, but the lantern festival is definitely the most profitable time. Even if you are sick, you still have to sell stalls.
above the street
Xiao Ruxue walked forward next to Xu Qing, looking at the lively scene around her with big dark eyes.
Then he turned his head and looked at Xu Qing's hand hanging under his body, and mustered up the courage to raise his hand to hold Xu Qing's hand.
She first pulled Xu Qing's little finger, and then glanced at Xu Qing. After seeing that he didn't refuse, she became more courageous, using her ring finger, middle finger, index finger...
Xu Qing glanced down, then tightened his hand and held the little girl's cold hand in his.
