Chapter 289

289 odd thousand households

Wei MINLING is guilty. But gradually she found that Huo Qijun didn't intend to expose her at all. I don't know whether it was in the face of Wei Zhongtang or

From beginning to end, he didn't pay attention to her at all and ignored her all the time.

Wei MINLING would rather Huo Qijun make a fire in front of her, which at least proves that he has her in his eyes.

But this rolling word completely beat her back to her original shape. Huo Qijun knew everything at all! The reason why he never exposed himself was that in his eyes, Wei MINLING was just a puppet in the backyard and didn't bother to pay attention.

Huo Qijun thinks that he is not a person who likes to worry about his children's feelings. If he had been in the past, he would not understand why Shen Qingru wanted to avoid him. But now, he gradually figured it out.

It must be that some gossip has reached Shen Qingru's ears. Those lies that he has never cared about, but enough to make Qingru desperate.

Because of Wei Zhongtang, Huo Qijun could indulge and pamper Wei MINLING and allow him to do whatever he wanted in the general's house. But he never thought that Wei MINLING's so-called pregnancy would reach Qingru's ears

At the thought of Qingru protecting his lower abdomen, Huo Qijun was very distressed. She should have been well protected to raise her baby in the house, but she had to wander around and live a life of hiding. Even when she saw him, she looked like a frightened little animal. It can be seen how much pain she had suffered on weekdays.

He must find her as soon as possible.

The search of the whole city is still going on, and I don't know whether it's Huo Qijun's or Xiao Qiyu's. The Xu family and his wife occasionally get together quietly and talk about the war outside, but there is chaos outside, and they don't dare to go out, and they don't know what's going on outside.

Xu Tian found that when talking about this problem, Shen Qingru's face was always a little bleary and worried. Xu Tian smiled and asked, "sister, who are you worried about?"

Shen Qingru was stunned. The spoon in her hand clattered into the soup bowl. One or two soup splashed on the back of her hand. She was a little impolite: "nothing, just worried about when she can leave the city."

She told Xu Tian that she was a young widow with a dead husband, but she couldn't let Xu Tian see anything different. Xu Tian didn't ask, but asked brother Xu to secretly go out to inquire about the news in the evening to see when he could let people out of the city.

In the evening, brother Xu sneaked out and walked out of the city. There were only Xu Tian and Shen Qingru at home. Xu Tian was dozing off against the back of his chair. Shen Qingru was worried and stood by the window, staring at the remnant stars in the sky.

There was a noisy sound of footsteps outside the door, and there were several bright spots, which were the light of the torch. Shen Qingru was stunned and subconsciously wanted to escape from the door, but it was too late. The group of people were only a few feet away from the gate. Shen Qingru looked around nervously. There was only Xu Tian's wardrobe where he could hide in the house.

"Sister in law, I escaped. My husband likes the new and hates the old. After taking a concubine, he abused me every day, so I ran out secretly. Now he sent someone to catch me... Please, please don't tell..." Shen Qingru suddenly said to Xu Tian. Xu Tian's gaping mouth. When he was about to say something, Shen Qingru had already hid.

The soldiers swaggered in. They were ordered to look for a young pregnant woman, who said she was a lady who escaped from the seventh Prince's house, but no one knew what she looked like. They only knew that she was a beautiful lady, only 17 or 18 years old.

There was only a young woman with a towering stomach in the room. The soldier raised a torch and looked at Xu Tian. She was an ordinary peasant woman with thick hands and feet. She could not be the person they were looking for.

"Are you alone here?" a soldier asked casually.

Xu Tian swallowed his saliva: "no... the little woman's husband has just gone out. Here, there are only our couple and no one else."

The soldier's leader held up the torch and looked suspiciously at Xu Tian. Under the torch, Xu Tian's look was unnatural and a little nervous.

"Search for me!" the soldier's leader ordered. The house is not big, and the place where people can hide is really limited. The soldier approached the wardrobe with his sword. Xu Tian's eyes stared at the wardrobe, looking more and more nervous.

With a clatter, the door of the wardrobe was opened, and there was no one inside. The soldier leader looked at the empty wardrobe and looked at Xu Tian in surprise.

"Boss, come on..." there was a cry outside. The soldier leader quickly stepped out of the door and went to the source of the sound. Xu Tian took a breath and looked behind the door: "sister, you..."

Shen Qingru is hiding behind the door. The position where he and the soldier leader just stood is only separated by a thin gate. Fortunately, the soldier leader only noticed the most prominent wardrobe in the house, and didn't notice that the person he was looking for was not far from the door.

Maybe Tian Shi was too anxious. She even called out before the soldier leader completely left. The soldier leader was so clever and clear that he went back and opened the door of the house. Shen Qingru had no place to hide.

"Ha ha, you can't find anything with broken iron shoes. It takes no effort." the soldier leader laughed wildly. You know that the lady in front of you is the person the seventh prince wants to find. If you catch her back and ask for credit like the seventh prince, you will certainly change into a senior military officer in the army, rather than the frustrated soldier leader in front of you.

"Follow me!" the soldier leader's look changed. The soldiers around him immediately came forward and caught Shen Qingru. Shen Qingru struggled desperately, but the two soldiers caught her. The soldier leader Shua pulled out his long knife at his waist, pointed to Xu Tian and sneered: "Your Highness Qi did say that you should be captured alive without any damage, but he didn't say that the people who shelter you can't be killed."

"If you struggle again, I'll kill the woman with a big belly first." the cold long knife pointed to Xu Tian's, who stared in horror with no blood on his face: "spare... Spare my life... Don't kill me..."

"Please... Please... Don't kill me..." Xu Tian pleaded in a trembling voice.

"What you should ask is not us, but the soldier in front of you." the soldier leader said with a grim smile: "whether you live or die is all between the lady's thoughts. Please beg her well."

Xu Tian's instinct for survival made him look at Shen Qingru in horror. His eyes were full of begging: "sister, please..."

Xu Tian's plea made Shen Qingru unable to be indifferent. She probably knew she couldn't escape. Shen Qingru said faintly, "let this sister-in-law go. She's innocent. I'll go with you."

Shen Qingru knows very well that once she goes back, she and her baby can no longer escape Xiao Qiyu's clutches. But she can't ignore Xu Tian's plea. People take her in and shelter her. She can't encounter unexpected disasters because of her.

"Your Highness Qi wants this woman?" a low voice came. Shen Qingru looked up. A handsome young officer leaned leisurely against the door and was looking at the soldier leader in front of him with a smile. The soldier leader was slightly stunned, and his originally ferocious face quickly showed a flattering smile: "Qianhu adult, how can you be surprised?"

It turned out that the young officer was a thousand families in Xiao Qiyu's army. Hearing the flattery of the soldier's leader, the thousand family adult showed a light mockery on his face: "you don't want to disturb me? Are you going to take this woman directly to claim credit with his highness seven? Let his highness seven promote you and let you be this thousand family?"

The soldier leader shook his head in embarrassment: "no... my subordinates don't mean to... My subordinates are going to show Qianhu adults this woman. Qianhu adults are brilliant and have a good insight. How dare my subordinates deceive adults."

The young Qianhu adult obviously decided that his subordinates were going to take credit with him, but the praise of the soldier leader also benefited him, he said

He walked towards Shen Qingru and sat down beside her leisurely. His two long legs stretched lazily and looked at Shen Qingru recklessly: "is it just like this? I think it's much worse than the two Yangzhou thin horses in the seventh Highness's house."

The soldier leader was stunned: "Yangzhou thin horse“

” Yes, last month, the magistrate gave his highness seven a pair of Yangzhou thin horse sister flowers. My sister is good at melody, flute, Dongxiao, Yao Qin and pipa. My sister has no strong points, but she looks white and tender. It is said that the magistrate also sent a jade statue and asked his Highness seven to compare carefully in the moonlight to see if she can distinguish which is my sister and which is the jade statue 。”

"Really... It's so white?" Xiangyan anecdotes are always the most likely to arouse the curiosity of men. The soldier leader listened with interest and his face showed fascination.

"Who knows? Anyway, only your highness seven has seen it." Qianhu laughed and patted the soldier leader on the shoulder. He looked at Shen Qingru with disgust: "this woman looks ordinary and doesn't look feminine. I don't know how your highness seven likes this tone."

"Come on, let Ben Qianhu show you your palms and see if the lady has a noble life." Qianhu adults hooked Shen Qingru's fingers. Shen Qingru has been under the control of the leader of the soldiers. Obviously, the other party is determined to take her and ask Xiao Qiyu for credit. Even as a boss, Qian Hu doesn't intend to let her.

However, Qianhu smiled and talked about palm reading, but the soldier leader could not refuse. He hesitated a little, and then motioned with his eyes to the left and right soldiers to loosen their grip on Shen Qingru.

Shen Qingru looked warily at the strange thousand households, but refused to move half a step at his feet, which made the other party furious and suddenly patted the table: "Hey, why don't you come here? You think I can't kill!"
