poisonous woman

Chapter 466
Rong Zhao's face twitched a little, and his lips were half-opened and half-closed several times.She was terrified, it's only been ten days, ten days ago she heard that Luo Luo's soldiers had retreated thirty miles away, and now there are [-] reinforcements, although not many, but to defend a city, There is no such thing as March and May, and it is impossible to attack.As long as it is delayed for a few months, Luo Luo will naturally retreat, why is he suddenly captured?

She grabbed Xiao Junjue's wrist and asked eagerly, "What's going on? Why is it so sudden?"

Xiao Junjue closed his eyes, spoke in a sad voice, and shook his head while talking, "The battle was only halfway through, and the generals of the reinforcement army saw that Luo Luo had a large number of people, and when they saw that the situation was not good, they took their cronies and ran away. Naturally, the reinforcements are like headless chickens, how can they continue to resist, and before others attack, they will lose their positions and be defeated."

He held Rong Zhao's hand tightly, and several bloodless marks were printed on the back of Rong Zhao's pink hand, "Bicheng will be destroyed without attacking itself, and the catcher will be delivered to others. The guard of Bicheng committed suicide on the spot and died in the city. A city was given to others in such a dramatic way."

Rong Zhao was so startled that he couldn't say a word, and his complexion turned pale.She couldn't figure it out, what happened to Da Zhou?Earlier, Xiao Jinyu brought Beiyuan area to Sunrise, and then Sunrise got more than 20 cities divided by Xiao Yuheng.Today, Bicheng, the southernmost city on the Dazhou border, was taken away, so what's next?Where will it be, is it Yunzhou, Xiangzhou?Is Dazhou's hundreds of years of foundation going to decline like this?
Great Zhou has been established for hundreds of years, with a vast land and rich resources. Although there are border disturbances from time to time, it is basically not enough. From the founding of the ancestors to ten years ago, no city or land has ever been invaded by anyone. But now, there seems to be The trend of disintegration.

Is it really time for the change of dynasties and the collapse of the Great Zhou?

Withdrawing his hand from Xiao Junjue, Rong Zhao paced back and forth in the room.She pinched her chin with one hand, and grabbed the pattern of silk hanging on her arm with the other.

However, isn't this also the time to build momentum?

Seeing her dim eyes thinking about it gradually brightened up, she glanced at Xiao Junjue, and then lost that look again.

As the saying goes, times make heroes, and for them, that might not be a bad thing.

"Where are the people in Bicheng?" Rong Zhao stopped, looked at Xiao Junjue firmly and asked.

Xiao Junjue's eyebrows folded into three deep lines, and his voice was low but weak, "Thousands of people were killed, young women were snatched by them, and rewarded to soldiers, and the rest who survived by chance were all killed." kicked out of the city."

Bi City is not small, it is the largest and richest city on the southern border, which is why Luo Luo chose it to attack.

There were more than 7 people in the city. Apart from those who were killed and robbed, at least [-] or [-] people were driven out of Bicheng.

It is the common people who have always suffered in wars. When a city is captured, they will live in exile and have no home to return to.

Now that it is winter, how these people will live, it is unknown how many people will die.

"Where is the imperial court?" Rong Zhao asked again.

Not to mention resettling these refugees, just because a city has been invaded, can't you pretend to be deaf and dumb?

Now that the reinforcements are scattered, they should send more troops. There are always several million soldiers in the entire Great Zhou. Can't they control a Luo Luo who only has hundreds of thousands of soldiers?

Xiao Junjue sneered, and said, "The imperial court? Do you still rely on him at this time? Just looking at the [-] reinforcements, it can be seen that the imperial court doesn't care at all."

The imperial court's finances were tight, and all the money was spent on building a palace for the Queen Mother and a palace for King Qi, so there was no money left for the army.

In the past year, even the hundreds of thousands of military expenses for Bashu were paid by Xiao Junjue himself, and the court did not allocate a single penny.

Rong Zhao caressed Xiao Junjue's back, "Okay, these things are not our concern, so don't be angry, what's wrong with being angry?"

"Bicheng is lost, I'm afraid, Yunzhou will be next." Xiao Junjue rubbed the center of her brows, but she couldn't smooth the creases between her brows.

The hand on his back paused, and a magpie fluttered its wings outside the window and hit the window eaves. Rong Zhao suddenly came back to his senses, and said quietly: "Whatever comes will come eventually, no one can stop it."

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the mansion was filled with lights and festoons, and it was bustling with activity.

There was a banquet in the evening, and it was just in time for the beginning of spring on the first day of the lunar new year, and the weather was warm, so it was placed in the courtyard of the front hall.

There are no outsiders today, except for the few officials invited to the banquet, they are all family members.

Xiao Junjue drank a few more glasses, put one hand on Rong Zhao's shoulder, already drunk, her cheeks were slightly red.

"Why don't you go back to your room and change your clothes?" Rong Zhao knew that he was in a bad mood, and if he was in a good mood, he wouldn't get drunk no matter how many drinks.

Rong Zhao thought about taking him back to his room, letting him sober up, and he would become even more drunk if he drank again, and he would complain of a headache again tomorrow.

Xiao Junjue's blurred eyes focused on Rong Zhao, smiled at her, and shook his head, "Zhao Zhao, do you think I'm drunk? Let me tell you, I'm not drunk, I can still drink." He picked up the wine glass again .

Rong Zhao hurriedly stopped him, he was still drunk after all this.

Xiao Junjue leaned his whole body on Rong Zhao's body, leaning his head on her shoulder. Seeing that the wine glass was snatched away, he was not annoyed, and smiled foolishly at Rong Zhao, "If Zhao Zhao won't let you drink, I won't drink it." , I listen to what Zhaozhao says."

Rong Zhao really couldn't support him, he wobbled for a long time before finding the balance point to stabilize him.

Wiping the corners of his mouth, Rong Zhao coaxed him like a child, "I know you're not drunk, but you can't drink a thousand cups, how could you be drunk? But the banquet hasn't started long, you can't drink all the wine I'm done drinking, you're done drinking, what else do you guys drink?"

She winked at Huayu and asked her to get the hangover soup.

Xiao Junjue raised his head, looked at Rong Zhao, raised his hand to touch her cheek, smiled, and said: "Zhao Zhao's words are wrong, can you still drink the wine?"

He covered Rong Zhao's ear and whispered, "Let me tell you a secret, I still have several large jars of wine hidden in the backyard."

Rong Zhao pursed his lips and smiled, no matter how mature this man is, he always has a childlike side.He thought she didn't know about the wine he was secretly hiding, but she didn't know that she had already seen the opportunity.

I don't even look at who is in charge of the back house of the Chu Palace, how can I hide it from her?
How many big jars are there, and the whole underground wine cellar.However, she just pretended not to know, it was just wine, and she was not a woman, so she hid it as soon as she knew it, and she didn't reveal it when she knew it.

Rong Zhao had an idea, took advantage of this moment when he was drunk, and said to him, "Then besides wine, do you hide anything else? For example, women, money?"

Xiao Jun shook his head like a rattle, staring straight at Rong Zhao with a pair of drunken eyes, "No, absolutely not. I only need Zhao Zhao, as long as Zhao Zhao is fine."

The corners of Rong Zhao's mouth turned up uncontrollably, and he hooked his nose, "It's a pity that you can speak, so I believe you for now."

Hua Yu brought hangover soup, Rong Zhao coaxed him to drink it, Xiao Junjue took a few sips, felt that the taste was not right, so he stopped talking.

"It's not wine, you're lying to me again."

Rong Zhao coaxed: "Why is this not wine, you can taste it once you taste it again."

Huayu almost laughed out loud, the princess really knows how to deceive people in different ways.

"Really?" Xiao Junjue was dubious, Rong Zhao looked at him with sincere eyes, and nodded vigorously, he really believed it, and drank the remaining half bowl in one go.

After drinking, lick the corner of his lips, aftertaste, and frown.

He pinched Rong Zhao's face, "You lied to me again!"

Rong Zhao couldn't help laughing, and rubbed his face, "Oh, my Jun Jue, why are you so cute, I can't like it?" If there were not so many people around, she would have designated Xiao Jun with her arms around her. Give me a good kiss.

Xiao Jun smiled gently, and leaned on Rong Zhao's shoulder again.

Rong Zhao and Xiao Junjue were sitting on the porch, and the rest were sitting in the courtyard, not too far away, although the people in the courtyard could not hear what they said, but the sweetness of the couple had already overflowed.

Bai Shi giggled, and discussed with Mrs. Meng who was sitting at the same table with her, "Look how loving the prince and concubine are. They have been married for ten years, and they still look like a young couple who just got married. It's really enviable."

Mrs. Meng put it on the wine cup, smiled gently, looked over, and saw the prince leaning on the shoulder of the princess. She looked at Mrs. Bai and joked, "Isn't it the same for Mrs. Duan and Mrs. Duan? Mrs. Duan only envies others. I don't know, are you also envied?"

With a blush on her face, Mrs. Bai lightly beat Mrs. Meng, "Okay, you even joked with me. My family is a boring gourd. How can he be as good as your family? Master Meng can coax people? I heard that you Up to now in the mansion, he is still yelling at him one after another." Bai covered her mouth, "Oh, this makes me sore, tell me, is there such a thing?"

"Good sister, please forgive me, I won't make fun of you." As soon as Meng Lang said it, Mrs. Meng made a big red face. She was already 40 or [-] years old. It was really embarrassing to publicize it.She always knew that Mrs. Bai was outspoken, so she quickly covered her mouth and begged for mercy, "My good sister, don't say it."

Bai Shi pursed her lips and smiled triumphantly, "Now I know I'm begging for mercy, so it's fine not to let me say it, but you can go to my house tomorrow and give me a big gift." She was teasing her.

Mrs. Meng said: "Okay, I will assign you a backup gift."

Bai said: "I'm kidding you, you really gave me a gift." She glanced at the two maids of Mrs. Meng's family, and then said: "But you have to give it, otherwise the two girls with the logo in your family will be chosen." How about one as my daughter-in-law?"

Mrs. Meng said: "That's good, don't tell me, I really like those boys in your family. A few days ago, our head of the family said that the children under Mr. Duan's knees are the most promising, and I don't know Which family will be so lucky in the future to recruit such a son-in-law who rides the dragon quickly."

The more the two talked, the more passionate they were, and they were really going to marry a son and a daughter.

The banquet was full of joy and joy, the children were full and playing in the yard, Xiao Rongnian and his younger siblings ran outside with firecrackers and fireworks, crackling, crackling, swishing She is very courageous in letting it go to the sky, if it wasn't for Rong Run who was dragging her, she would have to let go of that little hanging whip that was thinner than a finger, and she wouldn't be afraid of running away and jumping her in time.
