Thin Mei·Love Fragrance Quilt

Chapter 198

"Our Concubine Keshu? Isn't she your Princess Kezhu?"

Tang Tianxiao suddenly laughed sadly, "Okay, do it quickly! She has grown into a sore on me, and she is afraid of the pain and reluctant to goug it out, just feeling embarrassed. If you do it for me, I will thank you very much." You, at least give you a whole body!"

But Qianmei not only had a pain in her stomach, but also her heart hurt like a sword being nailed into her chest. The strength of the man in black forced her head up to face the dark night sky, and the scattered stars were spinning in the shadow of tears.

The man in black didn't expect Tang Tianxiao to answer like this, he stood stiffly and hesitated for a while, the long sword was still resting on Ke Qianmei's neck, neither letting go nor cutting in.

Tang Tianxiao's eyes were already moist, but he shouted loudly: "Kan Qianmei, you chose your own path today! The person who killed you today was sent by your own relatives! You...don't blame me!"

But Qianmei stood on tiptoe, trying to stand up straight, but it was still in vain. Instead, another burst of heart-piercing pain hit her, making her tremble with pain, like a dying female beast strangled by the neck, rolling helplessly , but could no longer shout hoarsely, let alone answer Tang Tianxiao's words.

There was another heat gushing out from under her. She couldn't see it herself, but the people around her could see it clearly under the torch.

Her skirt has been dyed red, slowly staining the gravel road red.

Tang Tianxiao pursed his lips tightly, and his eyes shrank for a while.

The man in black stared at Tang Tianxiao, and suddenly said: "Since the emperor has such good intentions for me, I dare not disappoint you. Why don't you let the emperor see what your prince or daughter looks like first!"

The tip of his sword suddenly turned around, moved from Ke Qianmei's neck to the top of her tall abdomen, aimed at the depression on the top, and pierced it.

Blood splattered.

Compared with the severe pain in the abdomen, the pain pierced on the skin is nothing, but the feeling of the coolness of the sword tip penetrating into the bones and blood, which made Ke Qianmei terrified and uttered a short and miserable scream .

Her body only struggled slightly, but the arm that had been hanging down tried to lift up, her pale hand stretched out towards Tang Tianxiao, her slender five fingers weakly grasped twice, dragging a shallow shadow, soft and soft It hangs down softly.

Her drooping eyelashes were filled with tears, and she looked at him in such despair, her complexion was ashen, like the petals of tulips trampled by people in late spring.

She was asking him for help.

Whether it was true or false, Tang Tianxiao could see clearly, she didn't want to die, she didn't want the child to die, she was asking him for help.

The man in black stared at Tang Tianxiao, and the tip of the sword that was still pierced in her skin moved slightly, as if trying to draw down.

But Qian Mei didn't scream any more, she didn't even struggle a bit, like a victim being put on the altar, cut to pieces by people's knives.

The thin upper jacket has been stained red by blood, and it is dazzlingly bright in the dark night; the color of her skirt is getting darker and darker, from light pink to deep red.

The once beautiful and lively black pupils have been closed, and tears are streaming from the corners of the eyes.

That was the woman who used to smile sweetly by his side, that naughty woman who made him dumbfounded but full of joy, that woman who made him want to pinch to death but collapsed the moment she laughed and kissed her... …

Tang Tianxiao shouted suddenly: "Stop!"

The sword of the man in black stopped.

Tang Tianxiao lowered his eyes, waved his hand wearily, and said, "Let them go!"

The soldiers on the street parted the way silently.

The man in black moved his sword away, but he didn't dare to let go. He still put the sword on Ke Qianmei's neck, dragged her in his arms and walked forward slowly, while the rest of his companions surrounded him closely, vigilantly opponent.

The wind is blowing, and the sky is full of dust.

Her figure being dragged by people became less and less clear under the cover of sand and dust and the hem of the man in black.

Apart from a slight trembling, Tang Tianxiao could no longer feel that she was still alive.

His fingertips were cold, but there was a flame burning fiercely in his heart, causing endless pain.

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

Watching the man in black get on the small boat behind the town with Ke Qianmei, and hurried across the river, Chen Cai asked, "Your Majesty, do you want to chase?"

Tang Tianxiao clenched his fists and said, "I can't chase! She... can't delay any longer. They must get to a safe place as soon as possible before they can be settled down to give birth."

"Yes!"

Chen Cai responded, but said, "But will they... let her have a baby?"

"I have to... take a gamble."

There were flames jumping in Tang Tianxiao's phoenix eyes, "Li Mingyuan...too vicious! She helped him lure me to die, and he could still kill her like this! I always thought... I always thought that those people would not dare Really touch her!"

But those people not only hijacked her, but also planned to disembowel her!
He walked back to the tavern, feeling even more resentful, and said bitterly to Chen Cai: "Tell me, how stupid must this stupid girl be, to still believe that her seventh uncle is her relative? She ...Does she really hate me that much? Or, does she really like Li Mingyuan that much?"

Chen Cai knew that he couldn't bear to be charming at all, so he quickly changed the topic and said, "Fortunately, the emperor is very skilled in martial arts, and he was prepared early, otherwise he really fell into this traitor's trick this time."

Tang Tianxiao was silent for a moment, and sighed: "I really never thought that this girl would be willing to put me to death. It's just that this place is very close to the state capital occupied by Li Mingyuan, and the people also miss the hometown of Southern Chu, and there are many people who support him." , that's why I kept an eye out. I didn't expect..."

He frowned, and muttered: "In the past few months, the imperial court has won successive victories. Li Mingyuan has been plotted by me from the bottom of the pot. He must hate me to the bone. He won't be so charming, but he will definitely not tolerate my children. Even if I don't kill him for Ke Qianmei's sake, sooner or later he will be used as a pawn to threaten me. In order to restore the country, I'm afraid there is nothing this man can't do!"

"Then... what should I do?"

Tang Tianxiao raised his hand to light up an oil lamp on the table, and said, "Bring the map!"

Someone over there responded, and immediately submitted the map of the nearby state capital.

Chen Cai looked at the picture and said: "The closest Luofengpo is the soldiers and horses of Jiaozhou Zhuang Bilan who just retreated. But Xin Wang has trusted generals who are stationed in Fufeng County. Although they are farther than Zhuang Bilan's station, these people directly obey orders. As for King Xin, it is not certain that he will go to the soldiers and horses of King Xin."

Tang Tianxiao pointed to an official road, and ordered: "Immediately fly a pigeon to send a letter and send someone to block this road. If they can't go to Fufeng County for a while, they will naturally go to Zhuang Bilan."

When someone nearby rushed to deliver the decree, Chen Cai said, "Zhuang Bilan's troops are currently fighting fiercely with Cheng Anhou's troops, and I'm afraid they won't have time to take care of Concubine Ke Shu."

Tang Tianxiao didn't raise his head, and said: "He will take care of her, and he won't tolerate Li Mingyuan threatening me with my women or children. It's really embarrassing for him to fight the world with such a master! Inform Tianqi, temporarily rest Soldiers, pay attention to Luofengpo's movement."

A trace of gentle hope flashed in his eyes, "Tell him, once you find out that Qian Mei has given birth to a child, you can steal her, steal, rob, or coax her, and you must take her and the child back!"

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

Tang Tianxiao said that, in Chen Cai's opinion, he was just comforting himself.

He is seven years older, but although he is natural and unrestrained, he is no longer an incomprehensible boy.

Even if no one reminded him, he himself understood that it was always a dangerous thing for a woman to step into the gate of hell with one foot in giving birth.

But Qianmei was young and her first child, so being robbed in such a chaotic situation was undoubtedly an added danger.

If Li Mingyuan was really only using her admiration to treat her as a pawn, those assassins might not take care of her wholeheartedly even if they escaped danger. What's more, it's not far or close to Zhuang Bilan's residence. Couldn't make it through until dawn.

She was injured and urgently needed to give birth, could she wait that long?

Suddenly remembering what Heng Yi said that Qian Mei couldn't survive, Tang Tianxiao couldn't hold his breath anymore, and regardless of being injured in the fight, he just paced back and forth in the tavern, unable to rest peacefully.

He was afraid that the assassins would become suspicious, so he didn't send anyone to follow and monitor him, and only waited quietly in Linshan for news from the assassins.

But there was no response from Tang Tianqi, and even the secret guards who blocked the road leading to Fufeng County also sent a message, saying that they had never seen any trace of those assassins.

It was not until noon on the second day that Tang Tianqi's secret letter came, but Dao had been paying attention to Luofengpo's movement and did not see those assassins.

Luofengpo is easy to defend and difficult to attack, but there are only two roads leading there from the south, and they are already under his control. If someone goes there with a pregnant woman, it is impossible not to see it.

Tang Tianxiao became more and more restless, and couldn't sit still anymore, so he led his subordinates to Tang Tianqi's barracks.He rushed all the way and arrived before dusk, but he never saw Tang Tianqi.

A general who knew some inside information hurried over and reported: "At noon, the enemy leader Zhuang Bilan suddenly led a troop out from the south of Luofengpo. We couldn't stop it, so we sent spies to check it out. We sent a letter in the evening. He came, but he didn't know what to reply, so Lord Hou hurriedly led an elite light cavalry and rushed over, and he didn't know where he went and what he was doing."

Tang Tianxiao's heart was beating wildly.

He passed a secret decree to let Tang Tianqi stand still, but he also ordered that if Qian Mei gave birth to children, he would take them back at all costs.

Tang Tianqi led the troops away in a hurry, could it be that there was some sweet news?
But why didn't those assassins take Ke Qianmei to Zhuang Bilan, and why didn't they take her to Fufeng County?
Ask Tang Tianqi in the same direction as Zhuang Bilan, both lead to the south, and both have official roads that can go directly to the vicinity of Linshan Town, but they don't know where to turn in the middle, and they haven't been able to meet Tang Tianxiao's men. superior.

Tang Tianxiao couldn't stay for a moment, so he led people away from the camp immediately, and asked people to inquire about the direction of the two troops, while following the trails.

Fortunately, there were not many soldiers and horses in these two groups, and someone along the road would always notice that although they were walking a bit slowly, the general direction was not bad—it turned out to be the direction leading to Linshan Town.

It's just that these two soldiers and horses took shortcuts and deviated from the official path in the middle.

Running all the way along the village trails, quite a few small villages that have always been relatively peaceful were disturbed. Almost every family turned off the lights early and closed their doors, and they couldn't knock on the door for a long time.

At the middle of the night, seeing the rugged road ahead and the continuous barren hills, and no one to inquire about, Tang Tianxiao led his subordinates to bite the bullet and continue walking, and suddenly felt that the scene in front of him was very familiar.

When I looked closely, I actually returned to the big river behind Linshan Town.

When Tang Tianxiao was hesitating, there was a commotion behind him, but a secret letter came from Tang Tianqi's barracks urgently.

It was Tang Tianqi's secret letter sent by Flying Pigeon in the evening, and it should have been delivered to Tang Tianxiao long ago; but when the postman closest to Linshan Town got the letter and sent it to Zhou's Tavern, Tang Tianxiao had already led the troops away; The post officer had no choice but to attach an explanation and send the pigeon and the secret letter back to Tang Tianqi's barracks.

At this time, Tang Tianxiao had chased him out again, and once again missed the secret letter.

When the messenger sent from the barracks finally delivered the secret letter to Tang Tianxiao, Tang Tianxiao stopped and stopped all the way, and he did not know how much time was delayed.

A few lines of writing were written on the secret letter, it was very rough, it seems that it must have been written hastily before leaving.

"Concubine Shu should give birth in Jianfeng Xiaozhu, five miles northwest of Linshan Town. Zhuang Bilan has arrived, and my younger brother should rush to help immediately! Tianqi."
