The reborn beauty is pregnant again and again

Chapter 720: The Coveted Minister's Wife 69

When Jiang Nanqiu and his party were about to reach the border, they unexpectedly encountered a rare downpour.

It was not safe to travel on a rainy night, and the weather was not warm, so everyone went to the nearest inn.

The inn looked like a very ordinary inn, with a large bunk bed on the first floor and private rooms on the second and third floors. In such weather, there were not many rooms, so Jiang Nanqiu, Liang Lianqiu and Sui Han stayed in a private room, while the others slept on the bunk bed.

Everyone was tired after these days. Jiang Nanqiu ate some dry food in his room, washed himself up briefly, and went to bed.

But for some reason, she suddenly woke up in the middle of the night. Jiang Nanqiu opened her not-quite-clear eyes and saw flickering flames through the window of the inn.

Jiang Nanqiu was shocked and quickly woke up Lianqiu and Sui Han who were sleeping beside him.

Both of them woke up one after another, looking at the terrifying fire outside and listening to the sound outside, there was actually no movement at all, and they felt inexplicably scared in their hearts.

After all, Jiang Nanqiu was the one that everyone wanted to protect. And the people who protected them were all highly skilled in martial arts. So when they were resting, even though the guards had agreed to sleep on the big bunk bed downstairs, there were actually a few people who walked ahead of them, in order to conceal their presence and to find out what was going on in the residence.

But now, there are flames outside, but no guards are warning...

Jiang Nanqiu and Sui Han looked at each other, and panic flashed in their eyes.

Jiang Nanqiu and Lianqiu only had time to put on their clothes when there was a knock on the door.

Sui Han went to open the door.

The person standing outside the door was actually Pei Shao!

Jiang Nanqiu couldn't believe it.

"Where are my guards? What did you do to them?" Jiang Nanqiu asked.

Pei Shao smiled sinisterly, "Nan Qiu, since I can come here, they are all dead!"

Jiang Nanqiu listened and his heart trembled.

Her current appearance has been disguised, how could Pei Shao recognize her!

Could it be that there is a spy among them?

Pei Shao, with the help of the woman beside him, sat down at the table, then poured himself a cup of tea and took two sips.

Jiang Nanqiu noticed that one of his legs was lame.

And his face now no longer bears any trace of the elegant young man he once was.

Although he was now well-groomed, neat and clean, his face was visibly wrinkled, old, haggard, and lifeless.

Jiang Nanqiu calmed himself down. They had been very careful along the way and had been walking under the radar.

She even wore men's clothes all the way and covered her face in many ways, just to prevent outsiders from seeing her true face. In order to prevent her voice from revealing any clues, she was almost silent after leaving the carriage.

When he spoke just now, Jiang Nanqiu also deliberately suppressed his voice.

This is purely an intuitive reaction to the recent cautiousness.

Jiang Nanqiu thought for a moment, then said, "Sir, you must have recognized the wrong person. I don't know the person you are talking about."

Pei Shao smiled, "Jiang Nanqiu, stop deceiving yourself. I discovered you several days ago. It's not a coincidence that I caught you today. I have been planning for a long time."

Pei Shao smiled and asked, "Do you still remember that a few days ago, you were surrounded by so many hungry people in the woods outside Qingcheng? At that time, you were kind enough to share your food with those hungry people. I was among the crowd at that time."

Pei Shao smiled with resentment and pride.

"You think you are a savior and have saved them, but in reality, they are only grateful to you on the surface. But in reality, behind your back, they think you have given them too little."

"You know what? I was going to die, but you saved me. Then that night, the Fifth Prince's men found me!"

Pei Shao smiled very proudly.

Jiang Nanqiu felt a bitter taste in his mouth.

Normally they rested at post stations or in carriages, but today they had no choice but to rest in this inn.

But I didn't expect that something like this would happen.

Pei Shao looked at Jiang Nanqiu, who was already dressed neatly, and raised his eyebrows slightly. "You are quite alert. In fact, your guards are also very alert."

That group of people just wouldn't listen.

When they were warming themselves by the fire in the lobby, they said all kinds of nice things, but they refused to take a sip of the wine they were handed over. They also refused to touch the food in the inn.

Fortunately, they thought it through and made some adjustments in the water.

After hearing this, Jiang Nanqiu couldn't help but burst into tears.

They had been traveling all the way from the capital for more than twenty days now, and they thought they would be safe now. However, they did not expect that they would still lose their lives for her.

"What do you want?" Jiang Nanqiu asked, "Pei Shao, between you and me, you are the one who has wronged me. Now you are trying to arrest me. Don't you feel ashamed?"

Pei Shao laughed, a fierce and crazy laugh, "I'm sorry for you? If everything could start over again, I would rather never have known you. Because of you, I have become what I am now! My Pei family died, scattered, and Jiang Nanqiu, all because of you. You are a troublemaker."

Jiang Nanqiu took several steps back in fear.

Sui Han stood in front of her and said, "Don't be unreasonable. Even if I die, I will never let you touch the young lady."

But, I have already found you. I have been following you for seven or eight days. Everyone in this inn today is my people, so you can’t escape even if you have wings.”

Pei Shao smiled with confidence.

The guards who were protecting Jiang Nanqiu were actually very cautious. They only ate the coarse grains they brought with them and drank it with the water from the inn. They also refused to chat with the people in the post station.

But they did prepare in advance, and they were well prepared. Didn't they not eat anything here? They must drink water. Who would have thought that they would put colorless and tasteless drugs in the drinking water?

So once they drank the water, they were doomed to lose.

Jiang Nanqiu felt extremely bitter, but she was unwilling to give in. "So what? Even if I die, I will not go with you. I will not let you get involved in anything with me."

Pei Shao smiled, "No, no, I won't get involved with you. I won't force you. The one who wants you is the Fifth Prince, and he's on his way. But if you insist on dying, you have to think about the people around you. If you really die, they naturally don't need to live."

Pei Shao glanced at the burly man beside him and said, "Bring them all up."

When Jiang Nanqiu heard him say this, a little hope arose in his heart.

I saw that all those people who were protecting me were brought here. Although they looked unconscious, they were still alive!

Jiang Nanqiu's complexion finally looked better.

"Anyway, this is a grudge between you and me. I hope you can let these people go. They are innocent." Jiang Nanqiu said.

Pei Shao was too lazy to pay attention to her, "Jiang Nanqiu, it's already this time, and you still have the mind to care about others, you should just take care of yourself!"

..........

Under Jiang Nanqiu's earnest pleas, Pei Shao agreed to spare the lives of Lianqiu and Sui Han, but the others were killed by the sword.

Jiang Nanqiu was so angry that she hated Pei Shao in her heart. She swore that once she escaped, she would kill Pei Shao to avenge her!

However, the fourth prince in Kyoto has been staying indoors and keeping his troops inactive recently.

The Fourth Prince, sitting in the study, listened to the news from his staff with no expression on his face.

Now the only people he could rely on were his uncle and He Yuxiang. As for the others, the Fourth Prince thought of his mother, Empress Xu. Although his face did not show it, his heart was gloomy.

During these days, Wei Shaoxuan suppressed his disappointment and never went to the palace to see her once.
