Xie Jue and Xie Xun were a little surprised when they saw the grain that had been brought down. The escort team from the Jiangnan Headquarters Commercial Company escorted five ships of grain and came to Jiaozhou in the wind and snow. , and it is self-cooked. When I saw Xie Xun, I greeted him very warmly. Xie Xun asked, "Who sent this food?"

It won't be the garrison in the south of the Yangtze River showing great kindness, let's prepare food for them!
The escort said with a smile, "My lord, this is the food prepared by the merchants in the south of the Yangtze River. We know that when Yangzhou was killed, the lord transferred all the grain from the twelve states to Yangzhou for emergency relief. Now that winter is coming, the twelve states are short of food. The merchants in the south of the Yangtze River are short of food. We are grateful to the lord for his benevolence, and now that the epidemic has subsided, merchants are raising food in various places in the south of the Yangtze River to repay the lord's kindness."

In addition to rice and noodles, these five shipments of food included various durable vegetables, meat, medicinal materials, etc., all of which were in short supply in the Twelve States. Xie Xun sent people to check, and there was no problem with the food.

Xie Jue raised his eyebrows. He didn't expect that the good relationship formed in Yangzhou would continue to this point. The grain transported from the Twelve States was transported back to the Twelve States.

Xie Xun was moved by the people when he left Yangzhou, and now he has once again experienced the kindness of Jiangnan merchants, and he has reciprocated.When Zhenbeihou was alive, he was full of praise for the merchants in the south of the Yangtze River.For so many years, the caravan led by Su Ming has always put the people first.
"The merchants in the south of the Yangtze River are so kind, and the twelve prefectures can't repay it. Please tell the merchants in the south of the Yangtze River for me. For such a great kindness, Xie Xun will definitely report it in the future."

"My lord is serious. If it weren't for the graciousness of the lord in Yangzhou, there would be no donation of food from the south of the Yangtze River. The lord saved countless people in the south of the Yangtze River. My parents were infected with the disease in Yangzhou. If it wasn't for the lord, I would not have seen them. This gratitude, To repay the favor, it is the Jiangnan people who are repaying the favor, the prince need not worry about it, and we in Jiangnan will do our best to provide food for the twelve states in winter."

Xie Xun did not dare to ask Jiangnan to send grain again, "These five ships of grain are enough for twelve prefectures to survive the winter. Jiangnan was hit by a disaster during the flood season last year, and the grain harvest was in short supply. The epidemic in Yangzhou spread, and Jiangnan was also stretched in winter. These five ships of grain are enough for twelve prefectures to spend the winter. We are very grateful to the state for the winter.”

The Jiangnan caravan came and went in a hurry, and did not stop in Jiaozhou. There were thousands of diseases outside Jiaozhou city, and they did not dare to take risks. Xie Jue and Xie Xun sent them to the riverside.

After Feng Yu heard that the Jiangnan General Trading Company had sent grain, she felt very complicated. Yanyang and Yangzhou blocked the trade, and they could still send five boats of grain by river. It was really not easy. They must have cleared many checkpoints. Everyone knew that this was the life-saving food sent to the twelve states, and they all turned a blind eye to let the ship come over.

If you get stuck at a checkpoint, the food will not be able to be delivered. It can be seen how much impact Xie Xun's disaster relief in Yangzhou has had this time. The imperial court hopes to block the twelve prefectures through commerce and trade, but the people's hearts are hard to disobey.

This batch of grain is enough for the twelve states to survive the winter, at least until the beginning of spring, and everything will be better after the beginning of spring.

Under the coordination of Xie Jue and Feng Yu, this batch of grain was quickly distributed to the states and counties in the Twelve States that were short of food. After the first month, the wind and snow were a little lighter, and Xie Xun was also preparing to leave for the Twelve States.

However, at this moment, Feng Yu received a piece of news from Kyoto that left her dumbstruck.

Feng Shu was pregnant and was going to give birth soon, but her pregnancy condition was not good, the letter was written on New Year's Eve, it was very windy and snowy, and it was not delivered to Feng Yu until after the first lunar month.

Thirteen Niang sent a book sent by her confidants.

Feng Yu didn't dare to hide such big news, so she hurried to find Xie Jue and Xie Xun, and almost slipped in the courtyard because she was too hasty and anxious.

When she rushed to the conference hall, generals Xie Jue, Xie Xun and Xu Zhou were in the ceremony. Xiao Qi had a long sword hanging from his waist, and was playing with the sword at the door, frowning at Feng Yu. He broke into the meeting room and tried to remind her that there were outsiders inside, but it was too late.

"Ayu, what's wrong?" Seeing this, Xie Xun hurried to help her up. Fengyu's eyes were filled with tears, like joy, but also like fright, her whole body was trembling violently.

The third girl has a calm and dignified personality, and she would never lose her composure if there was nothing important to do, Xie Jue winked, General Xu Zhou, General Chen and others filed out, worried.

General Chen had lingering fears in his heart, "Is there going to be another major incident?"

General Xu Zhou couldn't figure it out, it's not good to say, they know the third girl very well, so I'm afraid something big is going to happen.

In the meeting hall, Xie Xun read Thirteen Niang's letter at a glance, and was stunned, without saying a word, turned his head and called out, "Second brother?"

"what's up?"

Xie Xun couldn't say a word for a while, Xie Jue watched them losing their composure one by one, and impatiently drew out the letter, and also read it at a glance, Xie Jue blinked, and read it carefully from beginning to end again.

Feng Shu is pregnant, and Xie Zhang's child will be born in two months according to the date in Thirteen Niang's letter, but she is still trapped in Xiangguo Temple.

Xie Jue and Xie Xun looked at each other, and they both saw the surprise and panic in each other's eyes.

The elder brother has a posthumous son alive.

In a panic, Feng Shu was trapped in Xiangguo Temple, what would happen during childbirth? Can someone help?No matter how hidden from people's eyes and ears, a woman's childbirth is a narrow escape, if there is an accident, Feng Shu and the child will be in danger.

"I'm going to the capital, I'm going to rescue my sister-in-law!" Xie Xun said, "Second brother, leave Jiaozhou to you and Ah Yu, and I will definitely bring my sister-in-law and the child out safely!"

"My shadow guard Liuqiba has been inquiring about news in the capital, but he has never reported back that my sister-in-law is pregnant." He once left an order, asking them to protect Fengshu, and take Fengshu away from Xiangguo Temple when the wind has passed. Back in Ningzhou, even if Xie Zhang passed away, their brothers still regarded Feng Shu as their sister-in-law and never gave up.

The shadow guard sent back a message that Feng Shu was unwilling to leave. If she left Xiangguo Temple, the nine families of the Feng family would suffer. Xie Jue did not order her to be taken away forcibly. If she was taken away, the entire Feng family would be killed. Her, is to harm her.

"Will someone fake this letter?" Xie Jue asked cautiously.

What if someone lures their brother back to Beijing?
"No, there is a special mark every time Thirteen Niang and I send letters, which are different every time. No one but Thirteen Niang and I know the mark on this letter." Feng Yu said in a deep voice, "I believe Thirteen Niangs, you won't lie to me."

"That's because the shadow guards are afraid that Xie Xun and I will be in danger, so they deliberately concealed the news." Xie Jue also believed in his own shadow guards. They shouldn't have kept such important news from him, unless Feng Shu also gave them an order.

They are his shadow guards, and they are also members of the Hou family. Under the difficult decision, they can only choose to hide it from him, and they don't want him and Xie Xun to be in danger.

"I'm going to Kyoto, you don't want to go!" Xie Jue quickly made a decision, "You take people back to Ningzhou, Feng Yu is in Jiaozhou, and I will bring Shadow Guards, General Xu Zhou and an elite team of hundreds of people into zero. Kyoto."

Xie Xun just came back from Yangzhou, he is too important to the Ningzhou cavalry, he must not be missed, the capital is a dragon's lake and a tiger's den, it is not easy to take Feng Shu and the child away.

Whether it is Xie Xun or Xie Jue, it is impossible to rest assured that others will handle this matter, they must go in person!
Everyone has selfishness, even the Ningzhou iron cavalry, not everyone wants to ruin his and Xie Xun's lives because of a child, they can clearly distinguish which is more important.

But for Xie Xun and Xie Jue, that was different.

Those were the eldest brother's wife and child, and they had to be rescued if they escaped death. If the child fell into Yu Wenjing's hands, there would be no way out.

"Second brother, how can I rest assured that you take someone to Kyoto alone."

"Xie Xun, I can come back safely after going to Beiman alone. Kyoto used to be my home, so don't worry." Xie Jue's decision cannot be questioned, "You bring troops back to Ningzhou to garrison as planned. I come back from Kyoto, and you go back to Xizhou."

Feng Yu also wanted to go to the capital, and wanted to see her sister, but she knew that she would only be a hindrance, and after thinking about it, she knew that the overall situation was the most important thing, sister...

My sister has a child of brother Xie Zhang!
It has been more than half a year, but she is alone in Xiangguo Temple waiting to give birth. No wonder she said that she will mourn at Xiangguo Temple because she deliberately avoided Yu Wenjing and tried hard to hide the news of her pregnancy.

It is also impossible for this matter to cause too much commotion, fearing that there will be Jingdu's eyeliner in Jiaozhou, so Xie Xun announced to the public that he and Xie Jue will go to Ningzhou together, and they parted ways on the road, bypassing Zhongzhou, and going from Yancheng to Kyoto.

Feng Yu sits in Jiaozhou, General Chen and Nuan Yang manage the Ningzhou iron cavalry, Feng Yu is the most respected in Jiaozhou affairs.

Xie Xun originally wanted to take Xiaoqi back to Ningzhou, but Xiaoqi would rather die than follow, and she must follow Fengyu, and Fengyu was also soft-hearted. Although Xie Xun trusted Fengyu, he was extremely worried about Xiaoqi, so Nuan Yang must Keep an eye on him.

The three of them were disturbed by Feng Shu's pregnancy, and they were absent-minded when they parted. Feng Yu stayed up late and wrote a few letters, asking Xie Jue to hand them over to Feng Shu and her family.

She wished she could go to Kyoto with Xie Jue.

With all her heart hanging on Feng Shu, will her sister be in danger when she gives birth?If there is danger, will she not be able to see her for the last time? Whenever Feng Yu thinks of this, she wants to go to the capital desperately.

But the situation in Yangzhou is different now than it was then.

Both Xie Jue and Xie Xun have left, and Jiaozhou needs her to sit in town. They rely on Xie Xun's reputation in Yangzhou to gain a foothold in Twelve States, but the epidemic situation in Jiaozhou has not passed yet, and someone still needs to control it. Xie Jue was also worried.

"Second Young Master, be careful all the way!"

"Know!"

Feng Yu hugged Xie Xun, "You too!"

Feng Yu stayed up late last night to write letters. He and Xie Jue were thinking about what to do after entering Beijing. Neither of them said goodbye properly.

Jiaozhou was full of wind and snow, Xie Xun pulled up his cloak to wrap her around her, and also blocked everyone's peeping eyes. Under the small and dark cloak, he kissed her on the forehead, "Ah Yu, I'm leaving, remember miss me."

The familiar and scorching breath invaded her senses domineeringly in the small space, Feng Yu's nose was sour, and she wanted to cry inexplicably. She and Xie Xun probably got together less and more often in the past few years. This separation, maybe the reunion will be just the same. It's summer.

"You have to remember me too."

"it is good!"

Xie Xun and Xie Jue set off, Feng Yu stood on the top of the wall and watched the army leave.

elder sister!

You must be safe!
Kyoto, Xiangguo Temple.

Feng Shu's pregnancy condition is very poor, the child has not been able to conceive for five months, and there is always a risk of miscarriage, Zhang Lingzheng accompanied her mother to offer incense every ten days, and took her pulse by the way, as did Mrs. Feng and Su Yuejiao. I come to Xiangguo Temple frequently, but I dare not bring a doctor, for fear that Yu Wenjing will become suspicious.

In the early stage of Fengshu's pregnancy, her mood fluctuated too much, and her appetite was poor, and she would vomit out all the food she forcibly ate. Her pregnancy condition was always bad, and later she stayed at home. Yu Wenjing wanted to come to Xiangguo Temple several times, and Fengshu You have to deal with it, and you are afraid, and it is not good for your health.After Zhang Lingzheng went to Jiangnan due to the epidemic, Feng Shu almost had a miscarriage.

It was that time that Thirteen Niang accidentally found out that Feng Shu was pregnant.

Thirteen Niang accompanied the King of Qi to worship the Buddha, and found Feng Shu who was alone in the back mountain. It was not found that she was pregnant.Maybe Feng Shu was nervous seeing outsiders, or maybe she was too preoccupied, and her stomach was red because of discomfort, that's why Thirteen Niang knew she was pregnant.

Although Feng Shu warned and urged, don't tell anyone. After Thirteen Niang thought twice, she still wrote to Feng Yu that the child was about to give birth, and the imperial doctor went to Yangzhou again, and she might not be able to return. Giving birth in the mountains, relying on Xia Zhu and Dong Xue beside her, the risk is too high, Thirteen Niang thinks it is inappropriate.

Thirteen Niang also volunteered to come to Xiangguo Temple to live for a while, but if she couldn't do it, she could be a stable woman, and she also helped deliver babies in the past.

Feng Shu was also worried about accidents, so she complied with Thirteen Niang's request, but she was allowed to live in the mountains until the end of February, and there was still some time before she gave birth.

Feng Shu is about to give birth, and Xie Jue's shadow guard is more like an enemy than Thirteen Niang. The seventh shadow guard even went to study gynecology, how to take care of children, Feng Shu plans to give birth to a child, and hand him over to the shadow guard to bring him back to Ning The state was handed over to Xie Jue, or Xie Xun to raise him.

Except for the old lady and Su Yuejiao, no one in Feng's family knew about it. After the first month, because of Feng Shu's bad looks, Su Yuejiao wished she could live in the mountains.

Fortunately, there was an epidemic in Yanyang, Yangzhou was hit by a disaster, and Xie Xun became famous all over the world. Everything made Yu Wenjing so busy that he had no time to take care of Xiangguo Temple.

When Zhang Boju returned from Yangzhou, he also brought back the news that Lin Sheng died of the epidemic.

Yu Wenjing was furious, "He is dead, can you see his body with your own eyes?"

"Many people saw his dead body." Zhang Boju said nonsense. Anyway, after searching for so long, there was no news of him, so he was regarded as dead. "Master Lin was infected with the first wave of the epidemic. All the people who died at that time were taken away and burned, and several Yangzhou garrison soldiers were also burned together."

Zhang Boju thought, Lin Sheng must not cheat the corpse, otherwise he would be guilty of deceiving the emperor!
