"I can't guarantee whether Queen Hao will give birth to her."
Zhao Ping chuckled lightly, "Besides, even if he is born to Queen Hao, is there no other healthy man in the palace besides Your Majesty?"
"How dare they?"
Liu Mengru said in disbelief.
"People die for wealth and birds die for food. Isn't it normal for them to risk their lives to do such a thing in order to seek the throne?"
Zhao Ping analyzed: "If they succeed, they will become masters and dominate the world."
"If you fail, you may die."
"Besides, Queen Hao is just a hostage, someone who was pushed forward to die."
"There are other people behind the scenes who are pulling the strings."
"No, I want to tell His Majesty this matter so that he can distinguish right from wrong and not be deceived by these vicious people."
Liu Mengru said angrily.
He even proposed to return to Beijing to meet the Holy Spirit again.
"Do you think His Majesty is unaware of this?"
Zhao Ping asked rhetorically.
Without waiting for Liu Mengru's answer, he continued: "I think our Majesty must know about it."
"After all, he knows best what is going on with his own body."
"Your Majesty also knows whether it is possible to get the concubines pregnant."
"Then why does Your Majesty still indulge them so much?"
Liu Mengru asked doubtfully: "Shouldn't we just chop off their heads?"
"hehe."
Zhao Ping sneered, "Our Majesty also wants to be a chess player."
"With this expedition to Yuzhou to suppress the bandits, leave the capital, let those with ulterior motives emerge, and then catch them all in one fell swoop, completely clearing out the gang of worms in the court."
"I just didn't expect that the King of Yuzhou would rebel."
"This must be a pure accident."
"I just hope that our Majesty can hold on for a while longer until we arrive in time."
"Otherwise, the world may really be in chaos."
"Then what are you waiting for?"
Liu Mengru urged: "Forget about tomorrow, let's go now."
"The sooner you get there, the more hope your majesty will have of surviving."
"Mengru, it will take time for us to gather our troops and prepare biscuits."
Zhao Ping said bitterly: "Besides, this expedition is a battle of life and death. The soldiers may never come back after they go out."
"You have to give them some time to reunite with their families, right?"
"Why."
Liu Mengru also knew this and could only sigh.
When others reunite, Zhao Ping also reunites.
When Wenhui heard this, she didn't even leave. She dragged Liu Mengru and Zhao Ping to fight all night, and then said goodbye reluctantly until dawn.
Going to Yuzhou to rescue His Majesty is a big deal and cannot alarm the people.
When arranging the gathering of troops yesterday, Ruan Wendi made special instructions and the gathering location was changed to the back mountain.
Then go west, bypass Heifeng Village, and set off towards Yuzhou.
The first to leave was the scout team led by Liu Muyun, twenty people, all riding thin horses or donkeys.
Carrying parcels, he dressed as a traveling trader.
Followed by the bandit army led by Xia Quan, divided into two teams.
A group was led by Zuo Zhigang, with Ruan Wendi acting as military advisor, and accompanied by 3,000 people.
Another group was led by Mao Shiba and Xia Quan acted as military advisor, also with 3,000 people.
Finally, there is Zhao Ping's team.
Counting Gao Meng, Li Hu, and Ying Yi, there were thirty-six people in total.
There are still too few war horses.
The entire Xiping Village only had about forty horses.
There is still a need to leave some to deal with emergencies, and only thirty-six horses can be mobilized.
There were only four people leading the team, and they could only carry thirty-two brothers who were trapped in the camp.
But before they could set off, two more riders rushed over from behind.
"Mu Qiaoqiao?"
Zhao Ping said unexpectedly: "Are you here?"
"Zhao Ping, something so important happened and you didn't tell me."
Mu Qiaoqiao held her mouth and said angrily: "I have been cooking for so long, am I still not a core member of Xiping Village?"
"Um...well, sorry, I forgot."
Zhao Ping touched his head and said awkwardly.
It’s not that I forgot, it’s that I really didn’t put Mu Qiaoqiao as a core member.
After all, she was the daughter of the Mu family, and behind her stood not only Mu Shangwu, but also Mu Chen.
Mu Chen, in particular, is the current Crown Prince and Tutor.
There is a great chance to win the position of assistant minister.
Zhao Ping could not guarantee whether the Mu family had mixed in the water in the capital.
Now that he is on the side of His Majesty Chen Xuan, he naturally has to draw a clear line with other forces.
She took Mu Qiaoqiao in as a cook because she was obsessed with cooking.
Without that talent, Zhao Ping would have driven her away long ago.
At this moment, he still said calmly: "Mu Qiaoqiao, since you know that we are going to do something big, why are you following us?"
"Could it be that you want to give us a lift?"
"Or are you making something delicious and planning on letting us take it with us to eat on the road?"
"No."
Mu Qiaoqiao said angrily: "I will follow you on the expedition."
"Nonsense!"
Zhao Ping's face darkened on the spot.
Putting aside Mu Qiaoqiao's identity, what can a weak woman do with her?
As a burden?
"We are going to fight, what does it mean if you follow us?"
"I'll cook for you."
Mu Qiaoqiao said matter-of-factly: "Sister Mengru has issued a death order. If I don't follow you on the expedition and return to Xiping Village, she will lock me in a small dark room."
"After the punishment, you have to drive me away."
"I will never be allowed to step foot into Xiping Village again."
"Do you have the heart to throw away a cook like me who knows how to cook?"
Of course, the truth cannot be told.
Liu Mengru has discovered the purpose of her coming to Xiping Village.
In addition to learning cooking skills, she also plans to marry Zhao Ping and seek a chance for the Mu family.
Liu Mengru pointed it out to her directly.
Zhao Ping can help the Mu family, but she needs her to continue the family lineage.
That means giving birth to a boy.
Zhao Ping has been very busy recently. When he occasionally returns to Xiping Village, he always finds himself in Liu Mengru's bedroom and cannot come out.
She had no chance to sleep with him.
During this expedition, Liu Mengru encouraged her to go with the army to create opportunities to capture Zhao Ping and give him a baby.
That's why Mu Qiaoqiao hurried over.
"I……"
Zhao Ping was asked.
To be honest, he was used to eating food cooked by Mu Qiaoqiao, and he really didn't want to change to another person.
But you can't really take her with you, right?
I'm going to fight, so what's the point of bringing a cook with me?
When word spread, people thought he was still breastfeeding, so he couldn't make other people laugh their teeth off.
And how could Zhao Ping not know what Liu Mengru had in mind?
It's not because the old Zhao family has no queen.
This is to arrange a bedside attendant for him to continue the family lineage of the old Zhao family.
Zhao Ping could no longer follow Liu Mengru's wish.
He didn't have that kind of feeling for Mu Qiaoqiao, so he could only shake his head and refuse, "That's not okay either."
"Do you have the heart to let me be locked up in a small dark room and then kicked out of Xiping Village?"
Mu Qiaoqiao said a little aggrieved.
Smelly man, doesn’t your mind work very quickly when you do other things?
Why are men and women so ignorant when it comes to their turn?
Do I, a woman, need to take the initiative to speak out about this kind of thing?
I, I... am ashamed too!
"How about this."
Zhao Ping thought for a moment and said, "You come with us first."
"When you get near the state capital, you go home and stay."
"When we return after victory, you can follow us quietly."
"In this way, we can hide the truth from the truth. Even if Mengru finds out later, I will intercede on your behalf and guarantee that you will not be kicked out of Xiping Village."
"you!"
Mu Qiaoqiao stared angrily.
Listen, listen, is this what people say?
I don’t want any beautiful women who are given away for free.
If it weren't for the two beauties Liu Mengru and Wen Hui beside him, Mu Qiaoqiao would really doubt whether he was a man anymore.
But that's okay.
Not being driven away immediately was already half the battle.
When the time comes, I will implement the second plan given by Sister Mengru. I believe that I will be able to capture Mr. when I go out with the army this time.
At this moment, Ying Yi was a little impatient and began to urge.
Mu Qiaoqiao didn't want to say anything more, so she took Yi Bai and followed the team to Yuzhou.
But in my mind, I was constantly summarizing the second plan, checking for omissions and filling in the gaps.
Try to succeed every time.
