Chapter 176 Uneasy

When Pei Jingzhou stood up, General Li and several others had already rushed out with weapons.

He and Chen Xuanmo hurried to catch up.

The soldiers who came from the Southern Jiang Kingdom were elite soldiers. Each of them was tall and strong, holding a big knife. They cut the soldiers of the Great Jin Dynasty like cutting vegetables and melons. Blood splattered everywhere, and the strong smell of blood rushed into the nose.

The last time Pei Jingzhou defeated the Southern Jiang soldiers, he was fighting ordinary soldiers. This was the first time he saw the viciousness of the Southern Jiang elite soldiers. With one knife, he stabbed a Da Jin soldier through and when he drew his knife, his intestines came out...

He rushed forward with hatred in his heart, pulled a soldier away to save him from the enemy's harm, raised his hand and cut off the enemy's arm, then kept swinging and killing one enemy after another.

The blood looked even heavier under the light of the fire.

Fortunately, Dajin had the upper hand.

As dawn approached, an arrow suddenly flew through the air and headed straight for Pei Jingzhou.

"Be careful!" General Li cut the arrow feather in half with one sword.

Pei Jingzhou looked up and saw a man in armor sitting on a horse in the dense forest, holding a bow and arrow, shouting, "Retreat!"

The southern Chiang Kai-shek troops immediately retreated while fighting.

"Don't chase!" General Li shouted.

All the Jin soldiers stopped.

General Li ran back to Pei Jingzhou and saw that his face and body were covered in blood. He hurriedly asked, "Your Highness, are you okay?"

"No problem." Pei Jingzhou was covered in the enemy's blood. He was not injured, but other soldiers were seriously injured. He hurriedly said, "Hurry up and carry the wounded back to the camp for treatment."

"yes."

Bring the wounded back to the barracks.

Pei Jingzhou and others did not have time to wash and rest, and went to the main tent to discuss the surprise attack by the Southern Jiang soldiers.

"They are always using this trick." Chen Xuanmo was very angry.

Pei Jingzhou asked: "How do you say that?"

General Lin continued, "Your Highness, you may not know that the Southern Jiang Kingdom is now strong and powerful. They often use this kind of surprise attack against neighboring small countries to disrupt their military morale and then annihilate them in one fell swoop."

Pei Jingzhou frowned.

"That's right," General Li continued. "Last time, when His Royal Highness the Crown Prince won a small victory, they deliberately sent elite troops to harass us. They were using the same old trick again."

"This time it's a little different," said General Lin.

"Yes." Chen Xuanmo looked at Pei Jingzhou: "This time they also want to kill His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

General Lin nodded. "Indeed, the arrival of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has rallied the confidence of the soldiers and civilians of the border states. Killing His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would be more significant than occupying the border states, and could even affect the entire Great Jin."

"Who is the person who attacked me with a bow and arrow?" Pei Jingzhou asked.

"He is the most cherished and beloved grandson of the Southern Jiang King, Le Zheng Danyu." Chen Xuanmo added with gritted teeth, "He has killed many soldiers of the Great Jin Dynasty, including my father."

Pei Jingzhou was stunned. He didn't expect that Deputy General Chen died at the hands of Le Zheng Danyu.

"Le Zheng Danyu is a skilled martial artist, brave and resourceful, and is as formidable as his grandfather, King Nan Jiang," said General Li.

General Lin pondered for a moment and said, "He already knows that the Crown Prince is in the camp and has already made an assassination attempt. Next, he will try to assassinate the Crown Prince while continuing to harass, launch surprise attacks, or launch an all-out attack on the border states."

Chen Xuanmo and others agreed.

"Then we will fight to the end until the Southern Jiang Kingdom is completely defeated." Pei Jingzhou said in a firm voice.

General Lin and his men had been stationed in the border states for many years, watching their comrades die one after another while they were still guarding here. Naturally, they wanted to avenge their brothers and restore peace and tranquility to the people of the border states. So when they heard His Royal Highness the Crown Prince speak so decisively, they couldn't help but feel their blood boiling.

"We can't just sit and wait for death. We have to turn passivity into initiative." Pei Jingzhou walked to the sand table.

Chen Xuanmo and others followed.

Several people worked day and night to deduce, train troops, fight, launch surprise attacks, win, lose, win again, and so on.

Day after day.

Jiang Zhaoyue's belly grew bigger and bigger day by day, and finally the day of delivery was approaching. Concubine Hui and Princess Duojia came to the East Palace to check on her every day.

Today, she even brought two maids and two midwives with her.

Jiang Zhaoyue said, "Your Highness, before His Highness left, he had already prepared a nanny and a midwife to take turns on duty day and night."

"What if they get distracted, have diarrhea, or fall asleep?" Princess Duojia continued, "More people means more eyes, which is always good."

Concubine Hui smiled and nodded: "Yes, these are trustworthy, you can use them with confidence."

"Yes, yes." Princess Duojia nodded.

"You are the first child, so you must be careful." Pei Jingzhou had been away for more than three months, and Concubine Hui and Jiang Zhaoyue had also been together for more than three months. At the beginning, she was just taking care of Jiang Zhaoyue for Pei Jingzhou.

I gradually discovered that Jiang Zhaoyue is a straightforward, sincere, playful and cute person, and he has a naive attitude towards life.

She was infected many times and felt that life in the harem was not so boring.

Gradually, I fell in love with this princess with a colorful heart.

Now she is willing to speak to Jiang Zhaoyue from the bottom of her heart: "When I gave birth to Duojia, I tried to do it for a whole day but couldn't deliver the baby. It was the aunt of these two midwives who brought Duojia out.

"Her aunt is old now and can no longer deliver babies. They have practiced their skills in mansions large and small."

Giving birth to a child is indeed not a trivial matter, Jiang Zhaoyue nodded.

Concubine Hui was afraid that what she said was too serious and would affect Jiang Zhaoyue's mood, so she said lightly: "It's not that scary. Just eat well, drink well, sleep well, and get enough rest. With so many imperial doctors, midwives, and maids around, you will be able to give birth soon."

"Okay." Jiang Zhaoyue responded.

Concubine Hui and Princess Duojia stayed with Jiang Zhaoyue for a while and then went back.

Jiang Zhaoyue was a person with a good mentality. He didn't think too much about it and slept as usual at night, but he had a nightmare at night.

She was so frightened that she let out a soft cry and woke up.

"Crown Princess!" Xiang Qiao hurried in: "Crown Princess."

Jiang Zhaoyue called out, "Xiangqiao."

"Yes, it's me." Xiangqiao lit the lamp, helped Jiang Zhaoyue sit up, and wiped the sweat from her forehead.

"I just had a terrible dream." Jiang Zhaoyue panted slightly and said, "It was terrible."

"Don't be afraid, Crown Princess." Xiang Qiao brought her a bowl of warm water. "Dreams are always the opposite of reality. You had a scary dream, which means something good is happening in reality. Drink some water to calm your nerves."

Jiang Zhaoyue took the tea bowl and said, "But I don't remember what I dreamed about, I just thought it was scary."

"No matter how scary it is, it is the opposite of reality." Xiang Qiao said firmly.

Jiang Zhaoyue thought it was right, so she drank some water and continued to sleep. After waking up, she became inexplicably restless. She accidentally broke a tea bowl with a "bang" sound, which scared herself.

"Crown Princess, are you okay?" Hongcao asked hurriedly.
