RUMOR HAS IT THAT I'M PREGNANT WITH HIS HIGHNESS' CHILD - Chapter 652

Chapter 652 Come home with me

When the sun was setting, Shen Xu led a team of fifty people out of the earthen wall.

Not far away, the army of the Chen Kingdom was watching.

There is an open space between the two sides.

On the open space, more than 20 prisoners of the Eastern Expedition Army still maintained their previous kneeling posture.

They sensed footsteps approaching, raised their heads with difficulty, and saw that it was Shen Xu, they couldn’t help but widen their eyes.

Someone made a hoarse voice: “Master, let’s go.”

These words touched Shen Xu.

He looked at the wounded soldiers in front of him, obviously they were about to die, but they still wanted him to leave quickly.

If it was said that he was willing to take the risk to take this trip because he didn’t want to disappoint Tang Guixi, then now, he hopes to bring these soldiers back.

Shen Xu took out a small knife from his sleeve and helped them cut the ropes on their bodies.

“Get up and come home with me.”

When they heard the word “go home”, their eyes turned red.

After experiencing so many inhuman tortures, returning home has become an unattainable wish in their hearts.

And at this time, the wish is about to come true.

The generals of the Chen army approached quickly with their shields held up.

They surrounded Shen Xu and the captives.

Shen Xu straightened up immediately, and asked, “Didn’t you promise to exchange prisoners with us? I have already brought your people, and you should let me bring ours back!”

A moment later, a chariot slowly approached.

On the chariot stood a literati-like staff member.

He asked in Dayan Mandarin, which was not very fluent.

“What about our people?”

Shen Xu stayed behind: “It’s all here!”

The staff winked, and Chen Bing immediately stepped forward to check.

They first pushed back the hair of the three captives standing in the front, carefully identified them, and looked familiar, and then questioned each other’s identity in Chen Guo dialect.

The three of them answered fluently without any questions.

They also want to check other captives.

Shen Xu urged impatiently.

“Can you hurry up? We are still in a hurry to go back!”

The aides were originally looking at the captives, so when they heard the words, they looked at Shen Xu and asked unhurriedly.

“Our commander-in-chief called for King Min to carry out the transaction, why didn’t King Min appear?”

Shen Xu replied loudly: “I am the only son of King Min and the future heir of King Min. Today I am here to make a deal with you instead of King Father.”

The aide said: “My lord’s filial piety is really commendable, but it’s a pity that our commander-in-chief wants to see King Min. If you failed to fulfill the agreement as required, we will naturally not be able to conduct transactions with you.”

After speaking, he made a gesture.

Immediately, Chen Bing stepped forward to catch Shen Xu.

Shen Xu blocked the knife in front of him in a defensive posture, he asked sternly.

“What are you doing here?”

The aide smiled and said: “Since the prince has already come, we can’t come in vain. Our coach wants to treat you to a glass of wine, and ask the prince to save face.”

Shen Xu naturally knew that the other party must be uneasy and kind.

He gave a bad breath.

“How can you, a group of lowly thieves and bandits, deserve to drink with this prince?!”

The smile on the staff’s face disappeared, and the expression sank: “Master, listen to my advice, don’t toast and eat fine wine.”

Shen Xu sternly said: “If you are sensible, let us go immediately!”

The staff looked at him coldly.

“Let me tell you the truth, it’s not just you today, all the captives you brought must stay.

After the matter is over, we will kill all the prisoners of the Eastern Expeditionary Army, leaving no one behind! ”

The last four words, which he could speak slowly, revealed a strong sense of malice.

Shen Xu laughed back angrily: “It turns out that you didn’t intend to fulfill the agreement from the very beginning. You are worthy of being wolves, tigers and leopards from Chen Kingdom. They are a group of beasts who don’t understand etiquette and shame!”

The staff stopped talking and directly ordered to do it.

When the Chen soldiers rushed towards Shen Xu, the archers hiding behind the earth wall loosened their bowstrings one after another, and countless arrows shot towards the Chen soldiers.

The Chen soldiers hurriedly raised their shields to block in front of them.

Xiao Juan, who was disguised as a prisoner of Chen Bing, and more than forty other Yingwei seized the opportunity and pulled out the saber hidden under the hem of his clothes.

Among them, Xiao Juan used lightness kung fu to jump up, stepping on the shoulders of the person in front of him, using his strength to fly ahead, and pointed the knife of no return in his hand at the gate of his staff!

The staff looked terrified, and hurriedly dodged back, shouting: “Help me!”

However, before Chen Bing around him could react, Xiao Juan stabbed him through the chest.

The scene suddenly fell into chaos.

The shadow guards took advantage of the chaos to carry the prisoners of the Eastern Expedition Army on their backs, and quickly retreated towards the earth wall.

Upstairs sentry tower, Tang Guixi saw this scene and gave orders loudly.

“Archers cover them!”

The archers behind the earth wall drew their bows and arrows again, shooting arrows continuously, forcing back those Chen soldiers who wanted to catch up.

Shen Xu retreated with the shadow guards.

But before he could run far, he heard a loud bang behind him.

They all turned their heads and saw that Jun Chen had moved out the trebuchet.

The Chen soldiers stepped on the pedals hard, and the stones the size of washbasins were thrown high. They drew a parabola in midair, and came straight to Xiao Juan and the others.

Shen Xu’s pupils clearly reflected stones.

They are approaching rapidly.

Tang Guixi, who saw this scene on the sentry tower, was about to burst into tears, and hissed loudly: “Shen Xu, run!”

However, Shen Xu just stood there motionless as if he had been frightened into a fool.

At the critical moment, Xiao Juan appeared in time and pushed Shen Xu away.

The stone flew between the two of them and fell heavily on the ground, punching a small hole hard.

Before they could breathe a sigh of relief, another stone had already flown in front of Xiao Juan.

At this time, he had no time to dodge.

…

Yu Youyou suddenly opened her eyes, waking up from the nightmare.

Xiuyan, who was sitting by the bed doing needlework, immediately put down the needle and thread in her hand when she saw this, and asked with concern.

“Why is your face so ugly? Did you have a nightmare?”

Yu Niaoyou panted lightly: “I dreamed about Ah Juan, he was in danger on the battlefield, mother, will something happen to him?”

Nurse Xiuyan comforted her softly: “Don’t worry, Ah Juan is a man of great fortune. Auspicious people have their own fortune, so he will be fine.”

Yu Niaoyou was still very uneasy.

I don’t know if her mood affected the fetus in her womb, she suddenly felt a pain in her abdomen.

She clutched her stomach, frowning tightly.

“My stomach hurts so much.”

Nurse Xiuyan was taken aback: “Could it be that she’s about to give birth? Logically speaking, she should have to wait another two days.”

In order to be on the safe side, she still asked someone to invite the old woman over.

Wen Po will arrive soon, she lifts Yu Niaoyiao’s skirt to take a closer look, and gives an affirmative answer.

“The amniotic water broke, and it is indeed about to give birth.”

Mother Xiuyan hurriedly ordered to bring all the things needed for production, and then called Ling Hai over.

“You go out of the city immediately, find a way to find Xiao Juan, and tell him that you are going to give birth.”

“Um!”
