Han Ruoshi looked up at me and said softly: "Miss Yan, do you understand what I mean?"

Although she spoke very lightly, the three words "Miss Yan" were particularly a little bit a little bit. I was not too slow and I immediately understood what she meant.

She is Mrs. Pei, and I am "Miss Yan". Even if the child in my belly is older than her month, even if he is born a son in the future, he will be born in ill after all. Only the one in her belly can be the eldest son. Everyone around me understands this principle and dare not neglect it. Of course, I should understand it even more.

I smiled and said, "Madam, is it going to tell me this today?"

"Isn't this enough?"

She looked at me and said slowly: "Miss Yan hasn't really considered this issue? Although the fetus in your womb is older than mine, if you really go to Beijing, there may be some things that are not as easy to control as it is now."

"Madam wants me to control—what do I control?"

Her face froze slightly, probably realizing that her words were a little too pale, she coughed lightly, as if she was about to throw the things just behind her, and then said, "Of course, this child is your own, Miss Yan, and I shouldn't have talked too much. However, it's just that it's time to break through Cangzhou City. Once Cangzhou City is broken, the gate of Beijing and Tianjin will be opened. Miss Yan-" She looked at my belly and said with a smile: "Does Miss Yan really want to be like this? Go to Beijing?"

Although this statement is much more obscure than the words just now, it actually means more obvious.

There are many people in the capital. If they were allowed to see me like this, I would be unable to gain a foothold in the world.

My face turned slightly dark.

And this anger immediately made her feel happy. Her body leaned towards me and said, "Actually, Miss Yan has plans in her heart, right?"

I looked up at her and suddenly said, "Mrs. I just said that breaking through Cangzhou City is just around the corner, is it true?"

She was stunned. She probably didn't expect that I would suddenly turn the topic from the child in my stomach to Cangzhou City. She paused for a moment, and her eyes subconsciously floated beside her, and said, "This, this - of course."

“…”

It seems, not of course.

So I smiled and said, "But I don't think so."

When she heard this, she immediately raised her head and looked at me and said, "Do you think Cangzhou City can really last longer?"

“…”

"It has been siege for more than a month, and it is the cold winter month. There is insufficient food and grass. How long can they stay?"

"siege?!"

My face suddenly sank.

Seeing me like this, she frowned and said, "Don't you know yet?"

“…”

I didn't say anything, but she immediately realized something, but the next moment, she smiled coldly: "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter to let you know. Cangzhou City has been besieged by the army of the Cui family and the Song family for more than a month. Although the people guarding the city still insisted, their food and grass had already been exhausted, and they would not last for a few days if they had to hold on."

“…”

"If you break through now, it will be good for them, at least some people will be able to live; if you really wait until they all starve to death before opening the city gate-" She paused and smiled, "Hey, it's not our sin anyway, they are seeking death."

“…”

I just felt that my internal organs were slightly hot, and there was an indescribable feeling of discomfort coming from my heart.

It turned out that Cangzhou City was besieged.

No wonder, no wonder I came here. Although I realized that Cangzhou City was not taken down by the Cui family and the Song family, and heard Song Xuan say that this battle would be fought, there was no one fleeing the war on the official road. There were no footprints of passing by on the snow-stacked roads. Now I understand that there was a reason.

Because of the siege.

Therefore, no one could escape the war, and they were all besieged in Cangzhou City for more than a month.

My brows frowned hard, and then said, "But it shouldn't be. I remember that the imperial court built a granary in Cangzhou. How could the stock be less than their consumption for more than a month?"

Han Ruoshi sneered and said with a little smugness: "There is a granary in Cangzhou City, but they failed to guard it well. Who can I blame?"

I was stunned and immediately understood: "It's the Cui family and the Song family? They were originally in Cangzhou City, so they - destroyed the food and grass?"

Han Ruoshi said coldly: "Originally, it wouldn't be so difficult to fight. In fact, as long as the people guarding the city were in Huai'an, those who guarded the city still had the chance to surrender. However, the Song family was still in charge of tribute to the court. There was a nosy royal merchant who meddled with the other people. Because he was passing through Cangzhou, he wanted to visit Mrs. Zhang, but was blocked by the Song family. This person actually saw the clues and ran to the government to report the news. After the Song family found out, they simply took the initiative, burned Cangzhou's food and grass, cut off their retreat, and then started fighting with the defenders in the inner city."

I gasped in my heart.

So that's it.

Perhaps, Cangzhou City was originally taken down from the inside like Huai'an, but because a vigilant businessman discovered the rebelliousness of the Song family, this situation today was caused.

Yesterday, the two men from the Cui family and the Song family came to pay their respects to Pei Yuanxiu in full arms. It was not because they were not well-mannered, but because the situation in Cangzhou had not yet settled. They probably had just come down from the battlefield, so they put on armor and even brought a team of soldiers over. I had previously guessed that the road was not peaceful on this section, which was indeed not an illusion.

So today, it makes sense that Pei Yuanxiu's army was transferred.

They are going to speed up their time and break through Cangzhou.

After all, this place is not far from the capital, but if time is spent here, it will delay his entry into the capital. Xie Houqi has already said before that the convergence of Shengjing's troops and his troops is the most critical point in this war. If this time is missed, the situation in Shengjing may change.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content later! Pei Yuanxiu, not to mention other things, the powerful and gentry in other regions are all staring here. Once his pace of entering Beijing is delayed, it means that he lacks control over the situation, which is easy to cause chaos.

Thinking of this, my hands that I had placed on the armrest of the chair slowly clenched a little.

The slippery cold sweat in my palm made me unable to hold the handrail tightly. I kept exerting force, and at this moment, there was a knock on the door outside the door.

When I looked back, it was the servant of the inn. He brought food in. Hua Zhu and Xiao Lian were still standing outside. When they saw the door opened, Hua Zhu immediately looked into the room nervously. When he saw me sitting there without any damage, he felt relieved.

The servant came in and saw that Han Ruoshi and I were quite angry, so he felt relieved. He carefully placed the food on the table and then stepped out.

The food I sent us was of course full of color, fragrance and taste. I even took care of my favorite spicy taste, and there was a spicy red dish.

But I felt my throat choked and I couldn't eat it at all.

The defenders of Cangzhou have been persisting for more than a month without any food and grass support.

When I thought of this, my heart couldn't help but squeezing.

Even if I haven't seen the situation in Cangzhou City, no one will describe it to me, but I can imagine it.

Just like when Pei Yuanhao took me south to Yangzhou and experienced the scene of the disaster victims entering the city, those people - they can hardly be called humans, but more like a group of pockets with big mouths open, and they would stuff everything in. Some people even started to eat the bark after breaking into Yangzhou City. They were still vivid in their minds.

Is this the people in Cangzhou City like this now?

Even more tragic?

An indescribable feeling of almost vomiting kept rising. I bit my lower lip and didn't let myself show a discomfortable expression, but in the end, a few folds appeared involuntarily between my eyebrows.

But Han Ruoshi couldn't understand what I felt at the moment. She was just very cautious and didn't eat with me. She reached out and pushed the empty bowl in front of her out again.

But her actions made me feel a little more awake.

I tried hard to squeeze out the pictures in my mind like hell on earth, and then looked up at her: "My lady's intention to tell me these is-"

She smiled faintly: "I want to say that Cangzhou City will be broken soon."

“…”

"After passing Cangzhou, it's not far from the capital."

“…”

"Miss Yan, you have already considered this journey. Haven't you made up your mind yet?"

"Make up your mind?" I looked up at her: "What kind of determination do my wife want me to make up?"

My words were probably a bit thorny, and Han Ruoshi also became a little restless, afraid that this sentence would become a handle, so she hurriedly held the handrail and changed her seat, and then said, "I mean, if Miss Yan really wants to go to Beijing with us, then in the future - Miss Yan's identity and the identity of this child, will Miss Yan not consider it?"

I said, "I didn't think so much."

She was stunned and was about to say something, I continued, "But I know why my wife is so - she helped me think about it with 'entiment'."

“…”

"The Han family has a daughter who will treat the mother to the world. The wife is naturally worried about much more than I think."

Her face moved slightly, obviously the words had hit her vital point. She took a deep breath, then came over and lowered her voice and said, "I know you didn't want to stay by his side from the beginning, but with Xie Feng here, you can't leave."

“…”

I raised my eyebrows and looked at her calmly.

She gritted her teeth, as if she was burning her boat, and said in a almost slight voice as if she was murmuring: "Now, Xie Feng is not here."

“…”
