Rumor Has It That I’m Pregnant with His Highness’ Child

The whole town was surrounded by officers and soldiers, and no one was allowed to leave the town.

Originally, Xiao Juan was planning to leave here as soon as possible, but now they will definitely not be able to get out in this situation.

They can only find a place to hide temporarily in the town.

But soon the officers and soldiers began to conduct a blanket search of the town.

The town is only so big, and it will be a matter of time to find them.

The three hid in a grocery store.

The owner of this shop went out to visit relatives. He was not at home these few days, and the shop was always empty, which happened to be convenient for the three of them to hide.

Xiao Juan looked outside through the crack of the door. The common people have been ordered to stay at home and are not allowed to go out. Now the streets are empty, only officers and soldiers can be seen.

Meng Xizhou paced back and forth, uneasy.

"What should we do now?"

Xiao Juan looked back at him, and asked without answering, "Why did Xiao Luo ask you to come to us? Did something happen in Liaodong County?"

I have to admit that the king of Langjun is the king of Langjun, and his intuition is really keen.

Meng Xizhou said bitterly: "The Eastern Expeditionary Army was defeated, and Liaodong County fell completely."

Xiao Juan and Yu Niaoling were stunned at the same time.

Yu Niaoyou asked incredulously, "How could this happen?"

Meng Xizhou: "The imperial court stopped its support to Liaodong and took back the food and grass that had been shipped to Liaodong. The 300,000 soldiers from the Eastern Expedition had nothing to eat, so they had to go to the battlefield hungry. In the end, they could only..."

Speaking of this, his eyes were still red, his hands were clenched into fists, and there was nowhere to vent his grief and anger.

The Eastern Expeditionary Army is united and desperate to fight the enemy. They can obviously win. As long as they have food and grass, they can drive out the enemy army of Chen Kingdom!

However, because of an imperial decree from the emperor, all the food and grass were taken back, causing the soldiers to fall into a situation of isolation and helplessness, and eventually suffered heavy casualties.

The people in Liaodong County were also slaughtered by the enemy.

The once peaceful and peaceful homeland is now full of blood and corpses.

Meng Xizhou really wanted to rush into the palace and grab the emperor by the collar to question, aren't those soldiers and people his people? Why give them up? Why do you want to die?

Yu Niaolong asked: "Where are Guixi and King Min? Are they okay?"

Meng Xizhou: "General Tang was injured, but fortunately his life is safe. King Min and the eldest son are both fine. They led the remaining Eastern Expeditionary Army to hide in the mountains. Xiao Luo guessed that the emperor would be unfavorable to His Royal Highness. , and come with me to meet you.”

Xiao Juan: "Xiao Luo is here too?"

Meng Xizhou confessed their plans.

"Well, he was the one who asked me to come here to wait for you, but he was afraid that there would be an ambush here, so he separated from me. He made an agreement with me. If I haven't returned before dark today, it means something happened to me. , when the time comes, he will find another way to meet His Royal Highness the Duke."

Xiao Juan showed a thoughtful expression.

After a while, he said to Meng Xizhou.

"It's not suitable to stay here for a long time. I'll find a way to distract the officers and soldiers later. You take the opportunity to leave here with you. After you find Xiao Luo, go to the lower reaches of the Lujiang River and wait for me."

Yu Niaoli immediately protested: "You want to abandon me again!"

Xiao Juan explained: "It's inconvenient for me to take you with me, so you leave with Xiao Meng first, and I guarantee that nothing will happen to me."

Yu Niaoyou didn't believe his words at all.

She held Xiao Juan's hand tightly and said angrily.

"You promised me that you will be there wherever I go in the future, and we will never be separated again. Do you want to go back on your word?"

Looking at her stubborn little expression, Xiao Juan sighed softly: "Okay, you come with me."

He didn't want her to be in danger, so he let her leave with Meng Xizhou.

But she didn't want to.

That being the case, he could only take her with him and try his best to protect her.

If it is really desperate, then they will die together.

This can be regarded as the full love of their husband and wife.

Yu Niaoxiao immediately beamed with joy.

The three agreed on the details of the escape plan, and then began to split up.

The officers and soldiers searched the town from house to house, and they quickly found a grocery store.

When they pushed open the door of the grocery store, two figures rushed out suddenly, scaring them to pull out their sabers hastily.

When they took a closer look, they found that the people who rushed out were Xiao Juan and Yu Nianiao who were on the run!

The officers and soldiers immediately chased after the two of them.

As soon as they left, Meng Xizhou slipped out of the grocery store.

The officers and soldiers who were searching in other places heard that they had found the fugitive, and immediately swarmed towards the place where the fugitive appeared. As a result, the number of guards at the entrance and exit of the town was greatly reduced.

Meng Xizhou seized the opportunity and escaped.

He ran all the way to find Luo Pingsha as fast as he could.

The whole town fell into unprecedented tension because of Xiao Juan and Yu Nianiao.

Officers and soldiers chased and intercepted the two from all directions.

Xiao Juan and Yu Niao quickly shuttled through the streets and alleys, and finally was pinched from front to back and had no way to escape, so Xiao Juan performed lightness kung fu and took Niao Niao up to the roof.

The two stepped on the tiles and continued to escape.

These officers and soldiers were all dispatched from nearby government offices. Although they also practice martial arts on weekdays, they don't know anything about light kung fu. They can't fly up to the roof as easily as Xiao Juan, they can only carry ladders.

But when they moved the ladder, Xiao Juan and Yu Niaoyao had already disappeared.

Seeing this, the commander of the Imperial Guard who had been observing in the dark couldn't help cursing.

"Useless things!"

Originally, he thought that Xiao Juan could be taken down by relying on a large number of people.

In the end, he still had to do it himself.

The commander of the Imperial Guard gave an order: "Go!"

More than two hundred imperial guards flew up to the roof in unison, chasing after Xiao Juan.

They are all masters carefully selected from more than 20,000 imperial guards, far beyond the comparison of ordinary officers and soldiers.

Xiao Juan and Yu Niaolang were soon overtaken by the imperial guards.

A fierce battle is inevitable.

The Wugui knife was out of its sheath in his hand, and the sharp blade reflected a frightening cold light in the sunlight.

The commander of the imperial guards said in a deep voice: "Xiao Juan, I know you are very skilled, but you can't beat four hands with two fists, and you have a weak woman with you. It is impossible for you to escape. I advise you to put down your weapon Obediently let him go and catch him, so that he can suffer less physical pain."

Xiao Juan ignored him.

Holding the No Return Knife in one hand and Niao Niao in the other, he asked in a low voice.

"Afraid?"

Yu Niaolong: "With you here, I won't be afraid."

Xiao Juan slightly hooked his lips: "Then follow me closely."

As soon as the words fell to the ground, he rushed towards the commander of the imperial guards with curling curls like an arrow leaving the string, and the point of the knife of no return was aimed straight at the opponent's heart!

The fierce killing intent swept in like a tide.

The commander of the imperial guards changed his face drastically, and immediately raised his knife to block.

When the weapons collided, there was a crisp sound, which made people's eardrums tremble.
