Chapter 342: Reunion with Lou Yao! Go to the Hongmen Banquet
Seeing Shao Shang following Lou Yu into Lou Yao's mansion, He Zhaojun could only sigh. If she had not met Wen Ziduan, she should be here with Lou Yao now, living a simple and ordinary life.
"What's wrong? Are you thinking about something meaningless again?" Wen Ziduan appeared from nowhere and came close to He Zhaojun, smiling sourly. He would never forget that Lou Yao and He Zhaojun had been engaged twice.
He Zhaojun was at a loss for words: "Even if we had a brief relationship, wasn't it ruined by you?"
Wen Ziduan was finally satisfied and ordered Gu Guan to go to the designated inn ten miles away to settle down and not to stay here and disturb the few people who were reminiscing about the past. In fact, he had received a secret report that Tian Shuo had defected to Hua County, and he wanted to set the battle outside the city to avoid harming the innocent people inside.
At this moment, Huo Buyi pulled out the long sword of his guard and threw it into a tree. "Who's there? Come out!"
Before he finished speaking, the swordsmen and archers beside him shouted in unison, and in an instant, swords were unsheathed and arrows were strung, aiming at the tree. Unexpectedly, a woman stumbled out, and it turned out to be Luo Jitong.
"Luo Jitong? Why are you here?" He Zhaojun frowned, looking at the woman who seemed a little unfamiliar. She had once been a study companion to Crown Princess Sun, and had lived with Shao Shang in the Changqiu Palace, but she had never seen him again after he married and moved to the northwest.
Luo Jitong saw He Zhaojun in the crowd and quickly lowered his head to hide the hatred and sadness in his eyes. Now, Cheng Shaoshang has fallen into the trap and will definitely die, but this He Zhaojun is really difficult to deal with.
She bowed and said, "Princess Ancheng, I'm here to find a midwife for Madam Lou. She just said she has stomach pains and is in labor."
"Time is running out. Could you please, General Huo, lead some of your capable men and go with me to look for people?" She spoke sincerely and looked at Huo Buyi with earnest expectation.
Huo Buzhi thought about it and nodded in agreement. He exchanged glances with He Zhaojun and Wen Ziduan, and selected dozens of elite soldiers to send to the nearby villages to search for people.
Everyone knew that this was just an excuse for Luo Jitong to transfer Zisheng away. After all, if Huo Buyi was here, he would not allow Shaoshang to be in danger.
After the two of them left, He Zhaojun opened the carriage door and motioned Long Feibai, who had been waiting inside for a long time, to get out: "I know you are good at detoxification. Can you help women give birth?" Long Feibai pouted and nodded in agreement.
He Zhaojun smiled and said, "Okay, follow me into the mansion quickly and go visit Madam Lou. Even if I don't trust Luo Jitong, I can't gamble with Madam Lou."
"Do you need me to leave Gu Guan behind to protect you and Shao Shang's safety?" Wen Ziduan asked He Zhaojun in a low voice.
He Zhaojun shook her head, reassuring him. "You should trust Shao Shang, and trust me too. The He family's troops are already lying in ambush all around, ready to be deployed at any time. You should lead your troops to encircle and suppress Tian Shuo and his remaining followers. This time, you must kill this traitor with your own hands, and don't let him stir up trouble again."
Wen Ziduan nodded and mounted his horse. He made a gesture, and someone behind him waved a banner, and the army quietly set off. He Zhaojun, accompanied by Long Feibai, knocked on the mansion door. No one answered for a long time, but He Zhaojun didn't get angry. She pushed the bolt away from the crack in the door, pushed it open, and stepped into the courtyard, shouting loudly.
"Master Lou! The midwife is here!"
