"I finally caught up."

Qingqing held the crying baby and walked into the ruins of the hall in front of her.

Li Baoguo held a silver spear in his hand and kept moving forward. Xiao Tie sat on the Black King's war horse, silent as a sculpture. The wave-breaking eagle gathered its wings and landed on the owner's wide shoulders.

It was the one who discovered Zhao Lian’s traces before guiding everyone here.

"I told Weihou before that I would not allow loyal ministers and generals like you to die, that would be the loss of my great Chu."

Qingqing walked into the ruins and tried hard to make the child in her arms stop crying, but this was the first time she took care of the child. She had no experience and shook her arms, which made the child cry even more fiercely.

This child was only a few months old and didn't open his eyes for a long time, let alone walk.

Zhao Lian kept bent down and held the fragments of the dragon chaise tightly in his hand. He looked at Qingqing and the child in her arms, and the old face, with a complicated expression.

There was a hint of surprise in my eyes.

Because the imperial city is destroyed, the harem's family will not survive. We can only give the most pessimistic guess about whether Zhao Ming's prince survives.

Now, since Qingqing, the daughter of the Great Chu King, came with this child, it means that the child is very likely to be his miserable nephew and great-grandson.

“It’s so miserable here.”

Qingqing looked around and said, the crying of the child in her arms gave Qingqing a headache.

She took a few steps forward and said to Weihou who was looking at her:

"When I was born, the Great Chu was gone long ago, and my parents also died long ago. I don't know if the Great Chu State was destroyed, it was as miserable as it is now.

But I think that the fire broke out in the Forbidden Palace back then was almost the same as here.

In fact, even if I know my life experience and reach this point, I don’t have much hatred for you Zhao family. After all, in the first sixteen years of my life, I thought I was an ordinary Suzhou beggar.

What kind of national hatred and family hatred?

To be honest, I can't bring it in."

Qingqing looked at the crying child in her arms.

She pursed her lips and handed the child to Zhao Lian, and she said:

"But when I see this child, I will think of myself. My life starts exactly the same as his. They are both orphans in the kingdom, without father or mother, and lonely.

But I am very lucky that an old man with a bad temper like you, who adopts me. He is like my father, protecting me with all his heart and raising me to grow up.

I'm really lucky."

Qingqing looked at Weihou and said seriously:

"I also hope that this child can be as lucky as me, or to give me some of my luck to him, so that he can be raised by an old man who loves him, protects him, has a bad temper but kind heart.

Weihou, what do you think?”

Zhao Lian's lips moved.

He glanced at the fragments of the dragon chaise in his hand, and then at the crying child in front of him.

The next moment, without hesitation, he threw away the fragments, reached out and wiped them on his clothes, and hugged the child in his arms tremblingly, as if he had hugged the most precious treasure.

It's strange that the child who had been crying in Qingqing's arms became quiet when Zhao Lian hugged him.

He opened his big black eyes and looked at Zhao Lian, who was crying in tears, stretched out his hands from the cradle, croaking, like a smile, and he seemed to feel real safety and true warmth.

"Raising him well."

Qingqing pursed her lips, smiled, took a step back, and said to Weihou with both hands on her back:

"I don't know what his name is, but I want to give him a new name. From now on, he will be called 'Zhao Ping'. Is it okay to live a peaceful life?"

"good!"

Zhao Lian raised his head, wiped his eyes, and said loudly:

"This name is very good, very much in my heart."

"Okay, then I'll leave. You guys and you guys can go shopping slowly."

Qingqing laughed again, shook her braid, turned around and left, and walked briskly, without mentioning anything about recruiting and persuading surrender.

After she took a few steps, a low sound came from behind, causing Qingqing to stop and heard the old man behind him say in a low tone:

"Thank you for your kindness. I will build grass and hold rings, and my heart will spread to the ground and serve the great Chu."

"OK."

Qingqing's big eyes bent up and showed a big smile, she said:

"Then Marquis of Wei go to Qilu, you will command the border army. You will go to Yanjing again and take down the city. That's it."

After saying that, Qingqing got on the horse and left with Xiao Tie and talking and laughing.

Li Baoguo did not leave.

He was by the ruins, waiting for Weihou to carry Zhao Ping'an out, and then said:

"My father said that the Qilu border army can barely catch sight of it. I want to incorporate them into the Tiance Army and be the vanguard. How can Weihou think of it?"

"Let Li Shouguo's old dog get out the further, the better!"

Weihou scolded:

"I won't give it to him!"

Li Baoguo shrugged and did not refute it. It was his adoptive father who told him to joke with Zhao Lian Laogou. The two of them fought for a lifetime, and it was difficult to separate them.

Seeing that Li Baoguo was about to leave, Zhao Lian's eyes turned and he called Li Baoguo out loud.

explain:

"You little boy is barely attractive, but can you get married? I have a granddaughter in my hometown in Huainan. I am in my prime and have a graceful and graceful life. Why don't you give it to your wife?"

"don't want."

Li Baoguo refused without looking back:

"If you marry the Zhao family's daughter, you will be afraid that your father will break your legs."

"Haha, you can't help it."

Zhao Lian said:

"The parents' orders and the matchmaker's words, I will go to Guanzhong and have a personal talk with him, Li Shouguo's old dog. I think that for the sake of those good horses, he will also give me some face."

Li Baoguo still refused to answer, and got on the horse and left.

Weihou stood in front of the ruins and looked back at the mess. Suddenly he felt his fingers being held. He looked down and Xiao Ping'an was holding Zhao Lian's finger with his little hand, laughing and laughing, his face full of pleasure.

A smile from the bottom of his heart appeared on Weihou's face.

He withdrew his gaze, and without any nostalgia, he turned around, rode the donkey he had obtained, held his great-grandson and strode away.

A arrogant dream that lasted for more than 20 years.

If it breaks, it will be broken.

Anyway.

It's not important.

Qingqing and Xiao Tie left the ruins of the imperial city. She looked left and right and asked:

"Why didn't you see the birds? Where did he run? Didn't you agree that he would come to help me with political affairs?"

"That kid, I found a new friend."

The little iron jar said in a muffled voice:

"I'm taking care of her now."

"New friend?"

Qingqing showed off her elder sister's majesty and said suspiciously:

"Where did he find it? Is his origin reliable?"

"It's the woman who was possessed by Dingshanjun during this period."

Xiao Tie explained:

"She looks like a man from Central Plains, but in fact she comes from Japan. She is said to be a female swordsman. She is very genius. She is like me, born with divine power, and is said to have half-demon bloodline or something.

Now that I have freedom, I have nowhere to go, so I can only follow the birds.

This is actually an unexpected surprise. In the future, the girl may be his help when flying birds go back to Japan."

"Is it so magical?"

Qingqing rolled her eyes and said:

"Then go and have a look, and then go and have a look at You Wuming."

"Don't go there."

Xiao Tie whispered:
