The phoenix pattern is surging

The power of a thunderbolt is not as powerful as a bomb, but the fragments of iron blasted from the inside should not be underestimated, not to mention that its greatest power comes from the fire caused by the explosion.

Su Mo was slightly shocked: "What is this?"

"Thunderball. My master's unique secret technique."

Su Mo rubbed the jade wrench finger in his hand and stared at her: "You...why didn't you show it to me until now." He glanced at the two-foot-tall trebuchet with an uneasy expression, "If I had this one earlier, Why do I have to lose my troops so much? Don't tell me, you did it on purpose?"

There was a trace of disdain in Xiang Xinsu's eyes: "If you really want to treat a gentleman's belly with a villain's heart, I have nothing to say. Although my master left a book of making books, it is not easy to make a real thing. My father is still in your hands, and I dare not mess with you. Believe it or not!"

Su Mo smiled lightly: "Since you understand so well, then I might as well open the skylight and speak out today. Whether Xiang Qi is safe or not depends on whether you have any dissatisfaction with me. If you dare to tease me, then the first one to suffer is Who, you know. Huh?"

"You don't need to say this, I still dare not make enemies with tigers and wolves!"

"You say I'm a tiger wolf?"

"Correct."

Su Mo was silent at first, and then laughed loudly. After laughing, he narrowed his peach eyes and said quietly: "That's right! I am a tiger and wolf. So what? Just watch carefully, how can I step on everything in Beiye!"

After saying that, he flicked his sleeves and left.

Three days later, Xiping attacked the city for the second time.

The thunderbolt was quite powerful, and Bei Ye tried his best, but he couldn't force the opponent back.

The two sides were at a stalemate, and a young general rushed to report: "Commander, the granary is on fire!"

Li Ran turned pale with shock: "Still putting out the fire?"

The young general nodded: "Master Qin is leading three people to fight the fire."

"Go back quickly, and come back when you have news."

"Yes!"

After half a stick of incense, Qin Yi ran up to the city smelling burnt all over, Li Ran asked with his eyes, Qin Yi shook his head, Li Ran's heart sank, he knew something was wrong.

This round of siege lasted only two hours. Xiping did not enter the palace in a big way, but only tried a little bit, and soon withdrew his troops and left.

But Bei Ye had no joy of victory at all.

There are enemy troops outside, and the food and grass inside are completely destroyed. It is unknown whether Li Zixin can survive until his return.

The luxurious and magnificent Minghua Palace was no longer there. Li Ran held his saber in both hands, staring at the bright moon in the sky in a daze.

The wind blew past, blowing the long hair around his waist, lifting up his troubles.

No spies can be dispatched, Qu Lie's life or death is uncertain, Chen Pei has no time to care for himself, Li Zixin is far away, and Jiang Jue has no reply.

The grain and grass were completely destroyed again.

It's really a leak in the house every night when it rains!

The monkey boy came from the front: "So you are here. Your kid asked me to come to you."

Li Ran frowned, and the monkey boy said again: "It's your servant."

"what's up?"

"It's okay. I just came to see you."

"I want to be alone. You go."

The monkey cub should not, stared at him for a while, then smiled: "There is news from outside, do you want to listen?"

Li Ran lowered his eyes to look at him, and the monkey cub curled his lips, and continued, "Li Zixin was held back by Qing Yuan, and he couldn't make it back for three to five days."

"Where are the people?"

The monkey boy brushed the dust off his sleeves, and whispered two words: "Qingyuan."

Zhao Yan's glamorous and determined face flashed in Li Ran's mind.

Li Ran's heart sank: "They planned to do this early in the morning?"

The monkey boy nodded in agreement: "The granary is also burned very strangely today. There must be spies in the army."

"I guessed that."

"Do you want me to release the news for you?"

"What do you want to do?"

"Of course I will find out the spies for you!"

"Alright."

Seeing that his expression was not relaxed, Monkey Cub stared blankly for a while, and said: "Without food and reinforcements, Linyang will not be able to keep it sooner or later. I think it's better..."

"Abandon the city?"

The monkey cub grinned, "You know what I mean."

Li Ran squeezed the handle of the knife in his hand, but said nothing.

Bianhe followed Su Mo and entered the medicine tent together.

Seeing no one around, Su Mo said in a low voice: "I have seen him standing on the tower over the past few days to supervise the battle, and his body seems to be normal. What's going on?"

Bianhe stroked his beard: "Well... I can't figure it out."

"Ordinary people do the same? Why hasn't the child moved for so long?"

Bianhe thought for a while, then nodded: "There are such precedents recorded in medical books. It's not the first time to come to Your Highness."

Su Mo was still worried: "Have you brought all the medicinal materials?"

"Everything is ready, even the oxytocin medicine was prepared early in the morning."

Su Mo was slightly taken aback: "Nonsense! Why do you need to use that thing?"

Bianhe panicked, and said: "I'm just taking precautions. If there are any changes during the march, I think it will come in handy. Your Majesty also knows that His Majesty's road is bumpy frequently, which is not good for the safety of the fetus. And this oxytocin is not bad at all, ordinary people can use it."

As he spoke, he secretly looked at Su Mo's expression, and was careful with his words.

Su Mo frowned: "Anyway, neither adults nor children should have anything to do. If you can't even do this, don't use your title as a genius doctor anymore."

"Yes."

Bianhe hesitated for a while, but he still didn't tell Su Mo about the bad things about Li Ran's pregnancy.

Su Mo walked around in his tent before leaving, looking vaguely excited with suppressed expectations.

Xiang Xinsu crouched behind the medicine cabinet, dumbfounded.

Your Highness?Nan Liuliran?

But he is a man, how can he have children?

Su Mo is so nervous, could it be that the child is his?

Xiang Xinsu came out from behind the cabinet, and Bianhe was almost taken aback: "Second Princess?"

"it's me."

"When did the princess come in? Why is she hiding behind the medicine cabinet?"

Xiang Xinsu stretched out his hand: "I accidentally scratched my hand, and I want to ask you for medicine."

"That's what the old minister said to His Majesty just now..."

"I heard it all."

Ben and dumbfounded: "Princess... what did you hear?"

"I can hear clearly what I should hear and what I shouldn't. Mr. Bian, when I first heard it, I was more shocked than what you look like now. He is a man, and he can... It’s really unheard and unseen, no wonder he is so secretive.”

Bianhe smiled awkwardly, but his smile was not on the surface: "Princess must have misheard."

Xiang Xinsu pretended not to see the dark tide in his eyes, scanned the medicine shelf, picked up a small bottle, opened the cap and smelled it: "Obtronics? It's still the top grade in the palace. Sir, there are people in the camp Are you expecting to give birth?"

Bianhe lowered his head, saying no.

Xiang Xinsu put the bottle of medicine back to its original place, and scanned back and forth in the medicine tent, counting all the treasures: "Astragalus, wild ginseng, longan, angelica, yam... are all first-class ingredients for postpartum body nourishment. It seems that I You heard me right. He is the Highness in Linyang City, right? Your Majesty will never forget him."

After a long silence, Bianhe lowered his eyes and said quietly: "The princess is a smart person. Naturally, she knows what to say and what not to say, what to ask and what not to ask. What's more, since the past dynasties, anyone who violates the emperor's taboo , did not end well. Who that person is, you and I know clearly. The person His Majesty puts on top of his heart, after he makes peace with me, he will definitely enjoy the supreme honor, and thousands of people will bow down and worship him. People admire her. The old minister can see the princess's thoughts to some extent. However, the old minister wants to remind the princess that some things are best forgotten completely. If the secret is revealed, it will inevitably cause people's displeasure and hurt people who shouldn't be hurt in vain."

Xiang Xinsu was stunned, and laughed at himself: "The country will not be the country, and the family will no longer be. I am just a prisoner now, how dare I make him unhappy? Don't worry, I don't want to go into this muddy water, so naturally I won't talk nonsense Not to mention..." Her expression was lingering, "I don't want to be hated by him either."

Bianhe raised his eyes to look at her, there was no lack of pity in his eyes, and after a moment of consideration, he said: "Princess, Your Majesty's heart is as soft as it is hard, but he is a man of temperament. Forgive me for saying a word, there is a beauty in the palace who once rushed to the crown. In the harem, no one can match Long Chong. It was only later that the old officials found out that it was all due to the fact that this beauty was born with a good name. It is a pity that this concubine beauty was too domineering and domineering, and was gradually neglected by His Majesty. It is also common sense. The princess is a wise and intelligent person, so she naturally understands what kind of woman His Majesty likes."

Xiang Xinsu was slightly surprised: "Why did you tell me this, sir?"

Bianhe smiled calmly: "The old minister has lived to this age, so he can tell who is sincere and who is false. The princess belongs to the Danfeng royal family, and her status is incomparable. Needless to say, that one is extremely honorable, and with the princess's intelligence, she will definitely be able to occupy a seat and enjoy wealth and glory forever."

"Wealth and glory? That's not what I want."

Bianhe thought for a while, then lowered his voice and said: "The princess's wealth is also the protection of others." Then he rolled up his sleeves and said with a serious face, "This is all I have said, and I hope the princess will think twice before acting. Don't spread the word about things that shouldn't be said."

"Sir, are you trying to persuade me to be loyal to your Xiping?"

"Hehe. The princess just needs to understand."

"What if I don't want to?"

"The old man has nothing to say, I just hope that you can recognize the situation as soon as possible and help my Majesty."

Xiang Xinsu was noncommittal, stared at him for a while, and said with a look of regret: "Su... If he is so nervous, it means that the child is his own..."

Before he finished speaking, there was a slight clicking sound from outside the tent, like the sound of stepping on a dead branch.

Bianhe rushed out of the tent, where he could see half a figure.

Xiang Xinsu followed and ran out: "Is someone eavesdropping?"

Benhe said nothing, his eyes were full of worry.
