Chapter 279
"Qi Wangjun actually has cannons!"

Shen Yuexi picked up the branches and looked at the big guy pushed out by King Qi's barracks, dumbfounded.

Although it was far away, one could guess that it was a cannon just by looking at the high bronze barrel.Each cannon is pulled by dozens of sergeants with ropes in front, and a group of sergeants pushes it behind, making it extremely heavy.

"Mistress, King Qi started forging these cannons five years ago," Xia Lan watched nervously. "When I was serving Xiao Beiheng, I saw them up close. There are iron claws on the front and back of the cannon, like a crouching tiger. It is specially used for siege, and it is called the Tiger Crouching Cannon."

"Specially... for siege?" Mrs. Li didn't tremble at first, but she trembled again when she heard Xia Lan's explanation, "With so many cannons, can my nephew hold them?"

"How powerful is this cannon?" Shen Yuexi also became a little nervous.

Xia Lan said that these cannons were specially used for siege, and he didn't know if the city wall of Langya Pass could withstand it.

While they were talking, cannons continued to be slowly moved out of the open camp gate.Eight doors have been rolled out, and there is no sign of the end.

"My servant doesn't know either. The cannonballs are probably this big solid iron ball." Xia Lan compared a circular shape with both hands. "When King Qi attacked the capital, he transported these cannons from Anzhou. I didn't expect to see them again this time." Pull the cannon from the capital."

Shen Yuexi looked at the shape of her hand and felt that the cannonball was as big as a volleyball.

If the iron ball is so big, how heavy it is.No matter how thick the city wall is, it is only a stone. How could it withstand such a heavy iron ball, and so many cannons fired together, it is estimated that the city wall collapsed after a few blows.

Just thinking about it, Mrs. Li grabbed her arm and said: "Wan'er is still in the city, we can't let them fire. We have to go see King Qi!"

Shen Yuexi said to Mrs. Li: "Auntie, I know all about it, but we can't just go there directly."

"There is no time, there is no time," Madam Li let go of her hand, got up in a panic and ran to the carriage, "Hurry up and see King Qi."

"Mistress, King Qi has come out," Xia Lan pointed at the gate of King Qi's camp, "That's the one sitting in Suyu."

"I see," Shen Yuexi turned and ran to the carriage, and said to the driver, "the plan has changed, King Qi has left the camp early. Take us there quickly."

The original plan was that while Xiao Beiheng was besieging the city, Mrs. Li would go to visit by car and hand over Bai Ling to King Qi.But Mrs. Li couldn't do it by herself, Shen Yuexi had to follow.

Before he could act yet, King Qi went out to go to Xiao Beiheng's place. Once he arrived at Xiao Beiheng's place, Shen Yuexi might be recognized by Xiao Beiheng no matter how ingeniously she made up.Not to mention Xia Lan who was originally Xiao Beiheng's maid.

Now everyone has to get things done before King Qi arrives at Xiao Beiheng's barracks.

Mrs. Li had already gotten into the car, and opened the window to greet Shen Yuexi, "Yuexi, come up quickly."

Shen Yuexi and Xia Lan got into the carriage, and the carriage turned out of the hiding place and headed for the gate of King Qi's barracks.

"Is King Qi still at the gate of the camp?" Mrs. Li fidgeted, and after only a few steps in the car, she kept asking Shen Yuexi, "Let Xia Lan take a look."

Xia Lan pushed the window open, looked sideways, with a happy face, turned her head and said: "Mistress, King Qi has gone back to the camp again."

Mrs. Li didn't believe it, so she got up and went over to have a look.Then he sat back facing Shen Yuexi, and said with a smile: "Thank God, maybe Doctor Si won't let him see the wind."

King Qi's camp was not far from Xiao Beiheng's camp, passing through Xiaogang Village to the north, he arrived at Xiao Beiheng's camp.Now that King Qi turned back to the barracks, Mrs. Li was relieved and joked.

With the lessons learned from the past, Shen Yuexi dared not laugh anymore, for fear of accidents.

With a sullen face, she thought about Xiao Zhuo's advice before leaving.

"Although King Qi is my biological father, he forced my adoptive father to death in the capital. I gave him the white silk just to make him and Xiao Beiheng retreat, and I didn't intend to recognize him."

Shen Yuexi can understand this.Xiao Zhuo's affection for Emperor Yongde who raised him for 20 years is far deeper than King Qi who has never raised him for a day.It is the greatest goodwill for him to let go of this grievance and let Qi Wang and his son live.As for father and son recognizing each other and crying, forget it, it's impossible.

She was contemplating, when shouts sounded from a distance outside the car.

"Stop the car, if you get any closer, we will shoot the bow and shoot the arrow."

Shen Yuexi shook her head at Mrs. Li and Xia Lan, signaling them not to panic and shout, then she turned and opened the car door and got out of the car.

Hundreds of cavalry from King Qi's army rushed to the opposite side, and the leading general saw a maid getting off from the chariot, and said loudly: "The one who comes tells you your name and purpose."

Shen Yuexi said in a calm and unhurried manner: "Mrs. Pei Shaoya, Marquis of Pingyang, came to visit King Qi when she learned that King Qi was injured. Please report to the general on your behalf."

The general looked at Shen Yuexi in surprise, and said to the soldiers behind him, "The one who came is Mrs. Pingyang Hou, put down the bow and arrow."

A sergeant next to him said, "General Qi, do you want to search for a car?"

The general waved his hand: "This is Mrs. Pingyanghou, you rough men, don't approach at will, so as not to disturb Mrs. This general will go and see, you will lead the way."

The army agreed, and turned their horses to open the way ahead.

The general galloped up to the carriage and whispered to Shen Yuexi: "Why does Princess Zhao want to see King Qi?"

Shen Yuexi was about to get in the car, but when she heard the general's question, she was taken aback, held the door of the car and turned her head to look at the general.

She felt that she had put on her makeup carefully enough, why did the other party recognize her immediately?

The two looked at each other, and a person flashed across her mind like lightning.

That person once knelt on the ground and walked on both knees, grabbed Xiao Zhuo's clothes and pleaded, "What happened to you, King Zhao, you led us to wipe out 20 troops in Jingzhou without a single defeat, what happened to you? "

"Qi Shengjue." She was both happy and surprised, but she didn't cry out.

The joy was that they ran into Xiao Zhuo's old subordinate here, and the surprise was what if Qi Shengjue pledged allegiance to King Qi and his son and revealed her true identity?
However, judging from the fact that Qi Shengjue didn't announce it loudly after recognizing her, there shouldn't be any malicious intentions.

As if seeing what was on her mind, Qi Shengjue said in a low voice: "Princess, don't worry, the future will receive the kindness of King Zhao, and it will never be detrimental to the princess. It's just Qi Wang's benevolence, and the future will not be unkind. I hope the princess will show the truth What do you mean by this report?"

"Good intentions." Shen Yuexi replied briefly.

Qi Shengjue felt relieved, and bowed to Shen Yuexi with clasped fists: "Princess, please get in the car, and General Zi will lead the way ahead. Go straight to the camp to see King Qi."

Shen Yuexi secretly rejoiced that if Qi Shengjue led the way, she would be able to meet King Qi directly and save a lot of trouble.

She got in the car and talked to Mrs. Li.Mrs. Li also became happy, and said: "It's very good, let's settle the matter quickly, and don't attack the city with cannons."

With Qi Shengjue leading the way, the carriage entered the camp without hindrance and no one checked.

All the way to King Qi Xiaoming's camp, a guard with a halberd stepped forward to stop him, Qi Shengjue said: "General Xinwu, the doctor is treating King Qi's wounds in the tent, please wait for the general and guests."

Qi Shengjue nodded, returned to the carriage and said through the window: "King Qi is treating his wounds, please wait for Madam Pingyanghou."

Everyone in the car was happy to see King Qi soon.Shen Yuexi said to Mrs. Li: "Auntie, can you keep the white silk?"

Mrs. Li patted the bag on her waist and said, "It's tied firmly, don't worry."

The three of them were rejoicing, when there was a sound of horseshoes coming from behind the carriage, the sound was noisy, and the armor was rattling, it seemed that many military horses had come.

Qi Shengjue's voice sounded from outside the carriage: "The general will meet His Royal Highness."

"Ah."

Xiao Beiheng snorted coldly from his nostrils as a response.
