Chapter 70 The Birth of a Baby Girl
Chapter 70 The Birth of a Baby Girl
Unexpectedly, this search took more than three months, Chen Nian climbed countless mountains, and finally found the small grave that Ye Xiaoqi piled up for Xiaoliu that day on a hillside more than two hundred miles away from Qingfeng Village.The tombstone in front of the grave was made of split wood, and after years of wind and rain, it is almost rotten. The crooked and scattered handwriting written by Ye Xiaoqi on it is blurred. I'm afraid this grave will never be found again.
This place is more than [-] miles away from Qingfeng Village, Chennian doesn't know how Ye Xiaoqi walked with Xiaoliu on his back for a few days before arriving here, and with what kind of mood he buried Xiaoliu here and piled up such a small grave.She didn't dare to think about it, because just thinking about it would make her feel so painful.Ever since she left Shengdu with Ye Xiaoqi's body on her back, she has never cried again, and after months of searching alone in the mountains, her mood has rarely fluctuated, but at this moment, she fell down. In front of Xiaoliu's grave, he burst into tears.
When I was young, I didn't care about people and things in every possible way. I thought I could afford it and let it go. Even if I missed it, it was just passing by and forgetting each other in the rivers and lakes.When I can really understand, this passing by is lost forever, and I can't come back, but it's too late to regret.
Chen Nian cried for more than half a day, then stopped, got up and piled Xiaoliu's grave higher, cut out the tombstone with rocks, carved words and stood it in front of the grave, then turned and went down the mountain.It was two days after arriving at the mountain temple where Ye Xiaoqi's coffin was stored, as soon as Chen Nian entered the temple gate, she felt that something was wrong, but now she is very strong in martial arts and fearless, she just paused, and then went straight in In the hall where the coffin is parked.
It was Lu Rongfeng who didn't want to wait inside.
Chen Nian knew that Lu Rongfeng was currently in the Yiping army, but seeing him suddenly appearing here, he was still a little surprised, and wondered: "What is Uncle Lu doing here?"
Lu Rongfeng hurriedly stood up, looked at Chen Nian in a daze, and then asked tentatively, "The master?"
Chen Nian ran around in the mountains all day long, so he was naturally dressed in men's clothes, and because of the heat in midsummer, he only wore a gray-brown coarse cloth bunt.She thought that Lu Rongfeng was surprised by her clothes, she didn't pay attention, she just took off the bamboo hat on her head, and said: "I'm no longer a master, Uncle Lu should call me Chen Nian."
Lu Rongfeng's eyes shifted from her face to her body, and then from her body back to his face. After switching several times like this, he couldn't hide his astonishment.
Chen Nian didn't take it seriously, smiled lightly, and explained: "But I got a little sunburned from running in the mountains, Uncle Lu needn't be so surprised."
Lu Rongfeng nodded blankly, but his eyes still drifted unconsciously to Chen Nian's waist.Chen Nian knew that he had been running around in the mountains for the past few months, not only his skin had turned dark, but his body was also much thicker than before, and he was no longer as slim as before.She didn't care about Lu Rongfeng's scrutiny, she just asked Lu Rongfeng: "Why is Uncle Lu here? Did he come to look for me?"
Lu Rongfeng hurriedly looked away, and replied, "Oh, no, I just passed by here."
This time he didn't lie.Last year, Lu Xiao and Ling Que went to Yiping to find Chen Nian, Lu Rongfeng was instructed by Shunping to leave with Ling Que as an eyeliner.Unexpectedly, he and Lingque waited in the northern forest of Yiping City for most of the night, but only waited until Lu Xiao was alone. After asking, he found out that Chen Nian refused to leave with Lu Xiao.Seeing the situation, Lu Rongfeng no longer had the need to go north with them, so he found an excuse and returned to Yiping, serving as a general under Song Yan.
This time, he really didn't know that Chen Nian would be here. He was ordered by Song Yan to go to Qingzhou, and he stayed here on the way. He accidentally saw Ye Xiaoqi's tablet and was surprised. Whoever stored the coffin here, didn't want his subordinates to come back to find out, but it was Chen Nian who entered the door.
Chennian heard from him that Song Yan ordered him to go to Qingzhou, and he didn't ask him why, he just said: "In this case, Uncle Lu should go to Qingzhou as soon as possible, the military order cannot be delayed."
She obviously didn't want to talk about herself, Lu Rongfeng saw it, so he didn't want to ask too much, after thinking about it, he just asked her: "You want to send Ye Xiaoqi back to the village for burial?"
Chen Nian didn't hide this from him, he shook his head and said, "I won't go back to the village. I have already found Xiao Liu's grave, and I want to send Ye Xiao Qi to her place so that they can be companions."
Lu Rongfeng nodded slowly, and asked again: "Do you need me to send out a sergeant to help?"
Chen Nian said: "No, I'll just hire some people from the mountains. Uncle Lu should do his own thing, don't delay."
As far as she said, it was clear that she meant to drive away the guests, so Lu Rongfeng had no choice but to resign her. Once he left the temple, he ordered the most clever soldier by his side to rush back to Yiping quickly, and put Chen Nian here. The news informed Song Yan.Song Yan received the letter and was not surprised.He was deeply trusted by Feng Junyang, and was left in Jiangbei to guard Yiping. Because he was too far away from Shengdu, he only vaguely knew that Chen Nian married Feng Junyang as the daughter of the He family, and he never heard of it again. What news did she have, but she didn't expect that she would appear alone in the Taihang Mountains.
Song Yan walked around the house a few times, recruited the deputy general to explain the affairs in the city, and then brought a few confidant soldiers and sneaked out of Yiping to the mountains to the north.When he arrived at the mountain temple, Chen Nian had not yet left, and was guarding the carpenter to make a coffin for Xiao Liu.But Chen Nian was impatient to see him, met him face to face, and then hid in the mountains.
She was too fast, and Song Yan couldn't catch up with her, so he had to go back to the temple to wait. After waiting in the temple for two days before Chen Nian came back, he had to go back to Yiping.He thought hard in the middle of the night, oscillating several times between abiding by his duty and being nosy, and finally wrote a secret letter to Feng Junyang.
The letter was sent to Shengdu a few days later, and it was placed in Feng Junyang's desk among a stack of six-hundred-mile urgent letters.
At this time, the war in the north of the river was becoming increasingly tense. Mu Zhanyue captured the important town station on the south side of Jingyang, joined forces with Lu Xiao, and was attacking Yuzhou, the northern gate of the Jiangzhong Plain.After Murong Heng led the army to the west, he did not advance rashly, but fought steadily all the way, and he had already captured Xinye and approached Lintong.The He family kept asking for help from the court. Zheng Lun led troops to garrison Wu'an, and also asked Feng Junyang to send troops to attack Xinye, hoping to preemptively strike.A Fengjun report was delivered, and the court was arguing endlessly. Although Feng Junyang's face was still calm, Shunping could see that there was a gloomy look in his brows and eyes.
Feng Junyang was slightly taken aback when he saw Song Yan's secret letter, and when he looked at the back, he saw that the letter wrote: "...Although I only looked at it from a distance, it is the same as what Lu Rongfeng said. Described as haggard and thin, only the waist is thick, which is different from other places, it is obvious that she is pregnant, but there is no intention of covering it up, I don't know if she doesn't know it yet, or..."
His hand holding the letter trembled slightly, and Shun Ping, who was standing by the side, didn't know why Feng Junyang lost his composure. When he was startled, he saw Feng Junyang leaning his body back slowly, covering his face with the letter paper, He said in a hoarse voice, "Go out."
"My lord..." Shunping said tentatively.
Feng Junyang didn't allow him to speak, and only said: "Get out!"
Shunping didn't dare to disobey his words, although he was puzzled in his heart, he still exited the door cautiously.
Feng Junyang fell back in the chair and did not move, but the letter paper covering his face was slowly showing a wet dizziness.He had longed for this child, hoping to keep Chen Nian, but now that he finally has a child, she is no longer by his side, and it is impossible for her to come back.There was only a moment of joy in my heart, and then there was pain, and the pain was too much, and then I felt numb again, as if my heart had been ripped open and my heart was taken alive.
It was he who repeatedly failed her and caused her to suffer so much.
In the past, even if other men looked at her more than once, he would find it unbearable.But at this moment, he actually hoped that a man would be by her side, to shelter her from the wind and rain, to know her hot and cold, and to coax her to smile.He would rather that she married another man and bear children for that man, and he didn't want her to conceive and bear children for him alone in the mountains, lonely and helpless.
He didn't want her to suffer like this again.
I don't know how long it took before Feng Junyang sat up straight again, carefully folded the letter paper and put it in his arms, called Shunping in, and asked, "Do you know where Chaoyangzi is now?"
Hearing Feng Junyang's sudden question about Chaoyangzi, Shunping's heart skipped a beat.
That day, Empress Dowager Feng's veins were injured by Chen Nian's sword energy, and she has not healed yet, she has been looking for a good doctor in private, and even asked Shunping to help her find her.But Shunping was annoyed that the Empress Dowager Feng was plotting against her younger brother, and seeing that Feng Junyang didn't have any orders, so he didn't take it to heart at all, and just randomly found a few quacks to deal with the matter.But he didn't want Feng Junyang to suddenly ask Chaoyangzi now.
Shunping thought for a while, then said: "Chaoyangzi left Shengdu a long time ago, I'm afraid it's not easy to find, and..." He deliberately paused, and then said, "Only Chaoyangzi's temper is I found it, but I didn’t see it, so I was willing to enter the palace to treat the Queen Mother.”
Feng Junyang could see Shunping's careful thinking, he was silent for a moment, and said: "It's not for the Queen Mother, it's the year of Chen, she is pregnant."
Shunping was taken aback when he heard it, and after a moment of comprehension, surprises and surprises appeared on his face.
This time when Chen Nian left, Feng Junyang didn't ask anyone to trace her whereabouts, Shun Ping pondered for a few nights, and guessed that Feng Junyang was really determined to let Chen Nian go.Although he didn't dare to say anything on the face, he couldn't help but sigh in secret, lamenting that the world is impermanent and good fortune tricks people.Now that I don't want this marriage to come back from a desperate situation, Chen Nian is pregnant!
Shunping hurriedly said: "Congratulations, congratulations to the lord! We finally have a young son in our house! It really is the lord who is brave and brave, and he knows things like a god. The lord has finally waited until this day. After so long, the lord Finally, the pain was not in vain. Oh! I have to write a letter to the old concubine immediately, she will be overjoyed when she finds out."
He spoke incoherently, and as he spoke, he even wiped away his tears and choked up.
Feng Junyang was sad at first, seeing him like this, but he couldn't laugh or cry, he couldn't help sullen, and cursed in a low voice: "Nonsense, don't speak right!"
Junpei just smiled and explained: "The little one is just happy for you!"
Feng Junyang had nothing to say, only a faint wry smile.Shunping wanted to speak to persuade him, but at this moment he didn't know what words to persuade Feng Junyang.If Chennian was someone who was willing to come back just because she was pregnant, she would not have left so resolutely back then.Although it was a desperate situation, the "life" was too small, so it was no wonder Feng Junyang reacted like this.
Feng Junyang said lightly: "Don't gossip anymore, go find Chaoyangzi quickly, if you find him, please go to Jiangbei to take a look at Chen Nian."
"Yes!" Shunping hurriedly responded, and said again, "Don't worry, at that time the princess had ordered me to look for Jing Yuxuan in secret, but I have never dared to let go of this matter, and there are already some clues, I think that Chaoyangzi must be there too. Running after Jing Yuxuan, it's not hard to find."
Having said that, it was several months before Chaoyangzi was found.Chen Nian was about to give birth, Feng Junyang had already arrived in Yiping in secret, just waiting for Chaoyangzi to get angry, a circle of blisters formed on his lips, and he did not see the calmness of the son of the aristocratic family anymore.
Knowing the reason, Chaoyangzi waved his hands after seeing his appearance, "Okay, don't say anything, Daoist, I'll rush over."
Feng Junyang said: "She has been living on the mountain before, and she moved to a small town until a month ago. I have arranged for two midwives to go there, and they will live in Wang Dahu's house in the south of the town. On the pretext of saying that he had saved this Wang Dahu's life, he brought the two women to Chen Nian's side, so that he could take care of him."
After all, it was a woman giving birth, so it was not easy for Chaoyangzi to serve Chen Nian personally, he nodded when he heard the words, and said: "Understood."
While Feng Junyang sent him out, he kept telling Chaoyangzi this and that.After hearing a few words, Chaoyangzi became impatient, stopped and tilted his head to look at him, and asked angrily: "Since you are so worried, why don't you go with Taoist?"
Feng Junyang smiled helplessly, and said: "She doesn't want to see me, I'm going, I'm afraid it will push her further away."
Looking at his pitiful appearance, Chaoyangzi couldn't help feeling a little soft-hearted, shook his sleeves, and walked outside.After waiting outside the door, Chaoyangzi was so angry that he almost jumped again when he saw the dozen or so hidden guards carrying heavy luggage.Pointing to the luggage, he asked Feng Junyang, "You are afraid that Chen Nian will not know that you found Master Dao, right? Master Dao didn't know in advance that she was going to have a baby, so why did you bring these dolls with you?" What did you use? Ah? Tell the Taoist? Why don’t you find ten or eight wet nurses and ask the Taoist to bring them to you?”
Feng Junyang's face was embarrassing, and he just stood there smiling.
Shunping had never seen his master suffer such anger, he felt aggrieved in his heart, couldn't help but stepped forward and said: "Master, our lord is thinking about the princess and the little prince, and doesn't want them to suffer any grievances. Are you I haven't been a father before, so I can't understand this feeling."
Chaoyangzi couldn't help rolling his eyes when he heard this, snorted coldly, and said, "If I knew this earlier, why bother!"
"Hey?" Shunping opened his mouth and wanted to argue again, but Feng Junyang stopped him in a hurry, he saluted Chaoyangzi, apologized for Shunping, and said: "I didn't think carefully at the moment, hope Forgive me, Taoist priest. I will keep these things first, and I will send someone to Wang Dahu's house later, and if the Taoist priest needs anything at that time, I will send it in the name of Wang Dahu."
This can be considered a feasible method, Chaoyangzi nodded, and picked out a few possibly useful ones from the large bags of medicinal supplements, put them into his arms, and said to Feng Junyang: "I will tell you in advance , no matter if Chen Nian is a boy or a girl, don't think about that child. Of course, if Chen Nian is willing to give you the child, that's another matter."
Feng Junyang smiled wryly and said: "Don't worry, Taoist priest, I will never be so despicable."
Chaoyangzi didn't believe in his character, so he just gave him a slanted look, but didn't speak to him.Feng Junyang didn't explain too much. Right now, the mountain is covered with heavy snow, the road is difficult to walk, and Chennian is about to give birth. He just wished to insert two wings on Chaoyangzi so that he could fly over quickly. If he dared to delay any more, he was busy and asked someone to lead Chaoyangzi into the mountain.
The small town where Chen Nian was located was surrounded by mountains on three sides, so it was remote and hard to find. Thanks to Chaoyangzi who had someone from Feng Junyang to lead the way, he was able to find it smoothly all the way.After waiting outside the town, the leader of the secret guard pointed out the house where Chen Nian lived, and said to Chaoyangzi: "The prince has an account, we are not allowed to reveal our whereabouts, and the rest of us will not follow. If the Taoist priest has something to do, go to Wang's house The courtyard is looking for us."
Chao Yangzi took the luggage and said: "You guys don't have anything to do and don't go out to hang around, that girl feels very good, don't let her notice."
The leader of the hidden guard nodded in response, and then Chaoyangzi quickly walked towards the town.The town is not big, Chaoyangzi found the small courtyard that Chen Nian rented in a short time, raised his hand and patted on the door for a long time, but there was no movement in the courtyard.Chaoyangzi was wondering, but the door of the house next door was opened, a woman poked her head out from inside, looked at Chaoyangzi curiously, then retreated quickly, and closed the courtyard door tightly.
Although Chaoyangzi saw that the woman was a bit weird, she didn't care too much, she just thought about jumping into the courtyard to have a look, to see if Chen Nian was at home.He was hesitating, but he heard the door next to him, and turned his head to look, only to see that the one who opened the door this time was not the woman just now, but a chubby young woman, after a closer look, it was Chen Nian.
Chen Nian looked joyful, and smiled and asked Chaoyang Zi, "Master Daoist, how did you find this place?"
Chaoyangzi was stunned for a moment before he understood, and said with a smile: "You girl, you still have a bit of cleverness, which almost made my old man fall for it. I thought it was because I found the wrong place. I don't want you but live next door."
Chen Nian smiled, let Chao Yangzi into the yard, and explained: "There is no other way, I just think that if the enemy finds him, it will be delayed for a while."
Chaoyangzi nodded, and followed her into the west wing. Chen Nian made a cup of hot tea for Chaoyangzi and brought it over, and asked, "The Taoist priest was found by Feng Junyang?"
Chaoyangzi was taken aback when he heard that, and subconsciously asked, "How do you know?"
Chen Nian smiled and said: "You came here alone, which means that I haven't found my master yet. Since I haven't found my master yet, but I came to look for me again, it can be seen that someone sent you a letter, which is why you asked me to put you down." Get off the master and rush to find me."
She guessed everything right, Chaoyangzi couldn't hide it from her anymore, and he was not good at lying, so he didn't intend to hide it from Chennian.Chaoyangzi thought for a while, and said: "It was indeed Feng Junyang who found me and said that you were pregnant and about to give birth, so I rushed over here."
Chen Nian said again: "I guess that's the case. In the summer, I saw Uncle Lu. He said he was going to Qingzhou, but after a few days of leaving, Song Yan found it again. I went to hide in the mountains. After a few days, when he came out again, he had already left, so he thought he was fine. From this point of view, he must have sent a letter to Feng Junyang when he returned."
After Chaoyangzi heard this, he gave her an annoyed look and reprimanded: "You girl, you are still running around in the mountains like this when you are pregnant. You are not afraid of mistakes." He asked Chen Nian to sit down and carefully gave her After checking the pulse, he breathed a sigh of relief, "Thanks to your good foundation, this child is also strong, so he can withstand your tossing."
Chen Nian smiled embarrassedly, and said: "Don't ask the Taoist priest to train again, I didn't know before. During those few months, I was only busy burying Xiao Qi and Xiao Liu, and I didn't care about anything. The waist is getting thicker day by day, I think I have grown strong. After I got pregnant and was told by a sister-in-law, I didn't know that I was pregnant."
She got up to turn up the fire, and brought the kettle to refill Chaoyangzi with hot tea.Seeing how clumsy her actions were, and hearing that she didn't know she was pregnant until the child was conceived, Chao Yangzi felt a little sad, and sighed: "What a silly girl."
Chen Nian didn't take it seriously, grinned, and sat down opposite Chaoyangzi again, leaned over, and asked with great interest: "Master Dao, you are a genius doctor, you may be able to tell whether I am pregnant with a boy or a girl? Landlord The aunt said that I have a round belly, and I am a girl!"
Her pupils were sparkling, and there was no sense of sorrow or self-pity in her. Zhao Yangzi saw that her expression did not seem to be fake, although he was inevitably moved, he couldn't help but relax, and said: "You reach out again, and I will show you .”
Chen Nian hastily stretched out his arm, Chao Yangzi put three fingers on her wrist, and the other hand stroked her beard slowly, after concentrating for a moment, he said with a smile: "It is indeed a female fetus."
"It's really great. I bought some small floral cloths, and the landlady is helping me make small clothes. Each piece is only this big. It's just fun to look at." Chen Nian stretched out his hand to compare the size, and said with a smile , "I don't even know how to dress the little doll."
Chaoyangzi stroked his beard and nodded, with a smile on his face, he said, "What's so difficult about it? You'll be fine if you learn slowly."
The two chatted for a while, and the landlord's wife prepared meals and delivered them over.Because Chaoyangzi was new, Chen Nian specially told the woman to butcher a chicken, and brought up a large bowl full of stewed chicken, which was so fragrant that it made the mouth water.Most of the people in the mountains are poor, so this is already a very good thing. The woman bought it for Chen Nian, and said: "This is what I bought for confinement. I usually don't want to part with it. The Taoist priest is really good. .”
Chen Nian hurriedly interrupted her, and said with a smile: "If you buy it, you can eat it. It's the same if you eat it early or late. Madam, go eat quickly. One bowl is enough for me. You can eat the rest."
The woman was overjoyed when she heard this, and went back to her room for dinner.After she left, Chen Nian smiled and explained to Chaoyangzi: "Don't listen to the landlady, Daoist, she said that on purpose to make you appreciate it. I bought a lot of chickens and brought them back. In the yard next door, I would eat one every now and then."
However, Chaoyangzi knows how those rich and noble families raise babies. With Chennian's status and Feng Junyang's importance to her, let alone eat a chicken, or eat a phoenix, I am afraid that Feng Junyang can give it to her. to find.But right now, she feels satisfied after eating a chicken every few days.Chaoyangzi couldn't help sighing, and said Chen Nian said: "You girl, why bother to suffer this by yourself! Anyway, Feng Junyang is also the father of this child, and you should take care of him as a matter of course."
Chen Nian was silent for a moment, but said calmly: "Master Dao, I don't think this is suffering. I live this kind of life by myself, and I just feel at ease in my heart."
Seeing her in such a situation, Chaoyangzi couldn't say anything more, and lowered his head to eat in silence, but he was thinking about the things Feng Junyang sent to the Wang family's compound in his heart, so he had to find a chance to get some back.After the two of them had eaten, Chen Nian invited the woman over to take away the bowls and chopsticks, and then asked Chao Yangzi, "Does the Daoist want to stay?"
Since Chaoyangzi came, he naturally had to wait for her to give birth before leaving, so he said: "Stop, you can continue to live here, anyway, there is only the woman in this yard, there is no inconvenience. I will live next door , so close that you can hear something if you shout."
Chen Nian thought the same way, after all, giving birth to a child was the first time in her life, no matter how daring she was, she still had fear in her heart.She thanked Chaoyangzi, took him to the next yard, and said: "Although I don't live there, the bedding is all complete. After cleaning up the house and getting angry again, I can live in."
Chaoyangzi saw that she was going to tidy up his house with her stomach full, so she hurriedly stopped her and said angrily, "You girl, why don't you know what's serious? It's going to happen in a few days, so don't cause trouble for me." Already!"
Chen Nian stopped being scolded by him, and smiled sarcastically, after all, he called the landlady over and asked her to help Chaoyangzi tidy up the house and start a fire, so he gave up.
Chaoyangzi was a little uncertain about Chen Nian's attitude towards Feng Junyang, and he didn't dare to say that Feng Junyang was about to take the Wang family compound in the south of the town as his own, and put all the people and things he needed in it. There.He pretended to go out for a walk, and when he came back, he said to Chen Nian: "I also said that this place looked familiar, so I came here before, and saved the life of that Wang Dahu in Zhennan. I will go there when I turn around." Find him and ask for some food from him."
It was so coincidental that Chen Nian couldn't help but feel a little unbelief, and secretly thought that this was probably Feng Junyang's method, she didn't say anything, just smiled and said: "The Taoist leader should go quickly, I guess he will It’s all about waiting to repay the Taoist priest.”
Hearing what she said, Chaoyangzi's old face turned red, but he said with a dark face: "Don't be so rigid in life, don't reject what comes to your door for nothing. It's good to have ambition, but if you only It's not necessary to bet on it."
Chen Nian said: "Where did I get angry, Taoist priest don't want to wrong me. If Taoist priest goes to that Wang Dahu's house, don't forget to ask him for some snacks, so that I can satisfy my hunger."
She is about to become a mother here, but she still can't forget her snacks like a little girl. Chaoyangzi couldn't help her, so he gave her a blank look and said, "Good luck! In the future, mother and daughter will fight for snacks, then It's just a joke."
Having said that, when Zhao Yangzi came back from Wang Dahu the next day, in addition to bringing back two midwives, he actually brought a large box of fruit snacks for Chennian. The most up-to-date style stunned Chaoyangzi.
Chen Nian couldn't help laughing: "What a big royal family, unexpectedly raised such a good cook."
Chaoyangzi was also speechless, stared at the food box for a while, then looked up at Chen Nian, but couldn't help asking her: "Do you think that Feng Junyang is smart or stupid?"
Chen Nian thought for a while, and said: "If he really wants to hide it, there is no way he can't hide it. But the Taoist priest is right, no matter what, he is the father of this child, and it is right to accept some benefits from him." Don't worry, Taoist priest, I will not disregard the child's good or bad just to get angry with him."
Now that she had said this, the two midwives stayed.Both of these two were brought by Feng Junyang from Shengdu, and they have delivered children to many wealthy families, and they are the most experienced.The two of them checked Chen Nian carefully, and said: "The child has already entered the basin, and it will only take four or five days."
Sure enough, when it was dark on the fourth day, Chen Nian felt a stomachache.The landlady has received many benefits from Chen Nian, and has already prepared the delivery room with everything in it.The two midwives were taking care of them in the delivery room, and there was Chaoyangzi, a genius doctor, sitting outside. Chen Nian didn't feel any fear at all. Taking advantage of the rest of the labor pains, he didn't forget to ask the midwives: "How long will it take to give birth?" ?”
The midwife couldn't help laughing, and said: "There is no such thing as accurate time. But don't worry, lady, you are strong, and the child is not too big, so it won't take long. It's just that you are the first child, and you have just started to have seizures. It takes a day and a half."
Chen Nian nodded slowly, thinking to himself that it was only a day, no matter how painful it was, he would just grit his teeth and get over it.Unexpectedly, giving birth is not as easy as she thought. It was fine at first, and she could still hold back the waves of labor pains. Later on, the intervals became shorter and shorter, and she couldn't help moaning. .
Chaoyang Ziben was waiting in the East Wing. He hadn't heard any news for a long time and couldn't help but feel a little anxious. He went out of the house to look, but saw Shunping poking his head at the gate of the courtyard. He was taken aback and wondered, "Why are you here? "
Shunping rushed in hurriedly, and said in a low voice: "Master Dao, you still don't know about our lord? No matter how well you talk, you can't let the princess go in your heart. We came secretly the day before yesterday, but we didn't dare Show up, don't you rush over as soon as you hear that the princess is going to give birth, and right now you're standing outside the wall."
Chaoyangzi glanced at the courtyard wall, although he couldn't see Feng Junyang's figure, he couldn't help but snorted coldly, and said, "Then tell him to stand there!"
He flicked his sleeves and turned back to the house, leaving Shunping alone in the courtyard.It was the twelfth lunar month of winter, and it was midnight, and the north wind was blowing like a knife. Shunping really wanted to brazenly follow Chaoyangzi into the house, but thinking that his prince was still standing outside the wall, he had no choice but to bite Gritting her teeth, she trotted out of the yard, and said to Feng Jun, "Don't worry, my lord. I heard that there is not much movement in the house, and Chaoyangzi is not in a hurry. Everything must be fine."
Feng Junyang remained silent, bowed his head slightly, but his body was straight, standing motionless in the snow.
Shunping unconsciously sighed secretly, and said: "The prince should go in and wait, so that the concubine can know that you are here. No matter how much she annoys you, at this time, she hopes that you can be by her side."
Only then did Feng Junyang raise his head, and asked Shunping in a tight voice, "Really?"
"Extremely true!" Shunping hurriedly said, fearing that Feng Junyang would not believe it, he used himself as an example, "When the little mother-in-law gave birth, the little one was waiting outside the door, listening to her blowing the little one out of her hair. She scolded the child up to the heels, and scolded the child until the child fell to the ground. Later, the woman told the little one, because she knew that the little one was outside, and she felt at ease, even when she scolded the little one, she felt strong."
Feng Junyang hesitated for a moment, but finally made up his mind, walked into the yard resolutely, stood under the window, and said in a low voice, "Chen Nian, I'm here."
The room was silent for a moment, and it was only after a while that Chen Nian hissed and scolded: "Get out!"
Before the words fell, it turned into a cry of pain, which was actually louder than just now.Feng Junyang's face turned pale when he heard the sound, and he almost couldn't stand up.Shunping on the side forced himself to smile, stepped forward and said to Feng Junyang in a low voice: "It's not a problem, it's not a problem, the princess is willing to scold you, that's better than anything else."
Feng Junyang pursed his thin lips very tightly, and stood under the window without saying a word, just quietly listening to Chen Nian's painful moans inside, and whenever she yelled loudly, he would yell in a deep voice: "Chen Nian year, here I am."
I don't know how long it took, as if it had lasted for several years, Feng Junyang suddenly heard the midwife shouting happily in the house: "I gave birth, I gave birth!" There was the sound of a baby crying.
Chaoyangzi had already come out of the east chamber, raised his voice and asked the midwife in the house, "How is the situation?"
After a while, I heard the midwife reply: "It's a daughter-in-law, mother and daughter are safe."
Chaoyangzi heaved a sigh of relief unconsciously, he just waited for the house to be cleaned up so that he could go in and have a look at Chen Nian.Even Shunping, who forgot about his lord for a moment, gathered at the door with Chaoyangzi, thinking of taking a look at the little princess.Only Feng Junyang was still standing under the window in a daze, still saying: "Chen Nian, I am here."
This sentence was not louder than the previous ones, but it fell into Chen Nian's ears, but he heard it most clearly.Tears overflowed from the corners of her eyes, mixed with sweat, and slowly flowed into her temples. Chen Nian closed his eyes unconsciously, and waited until the tears in those eyes dried up before opening his mouth softly, and told the midwife: "Mother, go and invite the Taoist priest in." .”
The midwife was swift in her hands and feet, and quickly tidied up Chen Nian, and said respectfully: "Understood, you can rest at ease first."
After a while, Chaoyangzi saw the child, came in from the outer room, cut Chennian's pulse first, then smiled and said: "Very good, I will make some soup for you later, take good care of yourself these days That's it."
While talking, the other midwife carried the baby back, lowered it for Chen Nian to see, and said with a smile on her face: "Look, the old woman has delivered countless babies, but she has never seen such a good-looking baby." Take a look at those brows and eyes, and then look at this small nose and small mouth, it makes people happy to look at it. I'm afraid this little look will be better than yours when it grows up!"
Chen Nian forced himself up to look at the baby in swaddling clothes, only to see that her small face was not much bigger than a human fist, her face was red, and her eyebrows and eyes were wrinkled together.She couldn't help laughing, stared blankly for a while, but the smile on her face gradually faded, and said to Chaoyangzi: "Master Dao, take this child outside and show him, then tell him to go."
Chaoyangzi was taken aback for a moment, then realized that "he" refers to Feng Junyang.
Chen Nian lowered his eyes, and said again: "Tell him, you don't have to come here again. This child will take my surname first, and when she grows up to be sensible, I will tell her her life experience, and the child will decide what will happen then."
Chaoyangzi sighed unconsciously, but didn't say anything, and just told the midwife to carry the baby to the outside room.Shunping was still waiting for the letter outside the door, and when he heard that Chaoyangzi named Feng Junyang to go in, he was overjoyed, and when he turned back to look for his prince, he realized that Feng Junyang was still standing under the window in a daze.
Shunping also forgot the rules for a while, and only waved to Feng Junyang cheerfully, saying: "My lord, come here quickly, my concubine invites you in!"
Not wanting Feng Junyang to stand there but not moving, Shun Ping trotted over, stood in front of Feng Junyang, and repeated what he said just now, but Feng Junyang still didn't respond.Shunping was very surprised, looked at Feng Junyang carefully, and saw that although his face was pale, his expression had calmed down, but he didn't know why he was so unresponsive.
Feng Junyang raised his eyes, glanced at Shunping lightly, and said softly, "Come here and help me."
Shunping was taken aback, suddenly a little dumbfounded.He stretched his face tightly, and didn't dare to ask Feng Junyang if his legs were so frightened that he couldn't walk. Instead, he covered it up for him and said, "The prince is too, and he doesn't know where to move. Don't say it's still such a cold day. Even if your legs are not stiff, you must be frozen."
He babbled in a low voice, and helped Feng Junyang to walk towards the door of the main house.At this moment, the sky is already bright, the sun has already crossed the east wall, and the bright sunlight hits the person's body, it is a sunny day after snow.Feng Junyang walked a few steps deep and shallow, and asked Shunping in a low voice: "She told me to go in?"
Shunping thought there was no difference between Chaoyangzi's call and Chennian's call, so he nodded hurriedly: "Yes!"
Feng Junyang's heart suddenly brightened, and he took off his cloak at the door and threw it to Shunping, then he opened the curtain and slipped into the room.As soon as he looked up, he saw Chaoyangzi standing in the outer room with his child in his arms. Feng Junyang's legs and feet felt a little stiff, and he didn't know how to move for a moment.He paused for a moment, then stepped forward, held his breath and approached the child, lowering his head to take a closer look at her appearance.
Small, delicate, with fists on her cheeks, so tender and transparent... This is his daughter, this is his and Chen Nian's child.Feng Junyang's heart was full of joy, but the corners of his eyes felt a little wet, and he walked towards the back room without thinking, wishing he could get to Chen Nian's side in one step.
Chaoyangzi flashed, stopped in front of him, and whispered, "She doesn't want to see you."
This sentence was like a sap, and Feng Junyang froze immediately.He stood in a daze for a long while, then came back to his senses, smiled shyly, and said softly: "I know."
Chaoyangzi relayed Chen Nian's words to Feng Junyang again, saying: "You know her temper, so don't push yourself against it."
Feng Junyang nodded slowly, without speaking, he just looked down at the child again.
Chaoyangzi is a person with a cold face and a warm heart. Looking at Feng Junyang like this, he is actually a little soft-hearted. After thinking about it, he put the child in his arms into his arms and said, "You can give him a hug."
Where did Feng Junyang hold such a small child before? His hands and feet froze for a moment, and thanks to the tight swaddling clothes, he was able to support the child with his arms.He stared blankly at the child, feeling that his heart had turned into a puddle of water. He wanted to lower his head to kiss the child, but he didn't dare to touch it when he got closer, so he just took a few deep breaths and sniffed the child greedily. The smell of a child.
Chaoyangzi carried the child from his arms and said, "Let's go."
Feng Junyang was silent for a long time, but said softly: "I want to take a look at her." As if afraid of Chaoyangzi's rejection, he quickly added, "I won't go in, just take a look at her at the door."
He spoke so pitifully that Chaoyangzi had nothing to do with him, so he had to wave his hand, motioning him to go and have a look.Feng Junyang walked slowly to the door of the back room, stretched out his hand to lift the curtain, but stopped when his fingertips touched the cool curtain.He maintained this posture for a long time without moving, but finally withdrew his hand, turned around and came outside.
Shunping has been waiting at the door, not wanting his master to come out so soon, he was a little surprised for a while: "My lord?"
Feng Junyang ignored him, and just strode out of the courtyard without stopping.Shunping was full of doubts, looked at him, then looked back at the door, couldn't help stomping his feet and sighed, and then chased Feng Junyang away.
Feng Junyang led his people out of the mountains and did not return to Yiping. Instead, he bypassed the west side of Taihang and went to Qingzhou, where he spent the New Year's Eve of the third year of Xinwu.
Years ago, Murong Heng led his troops to take down Lintong. Just when everyone thought he would continue to go east and attack Wu'an, Murong Heng stopped his eastward march and only occupied the two important towns of Lintong and Xinye. Confronted with Zheng Lun of Wu'an.
Murong Heng's move was too unexpected, and the world had different opinions for a while.Some people said that it was because of the cold weather that it was inconvenient to fight, so the Xian family suspended their eastward march, while others said that it was because the Xian family did not want to confront Feng Jun head-on, so they stopped in Lintong.Feng Junyang just sneered after hearing these two statements. He turned his eyes away from the map, looked up at the people in the room, and asked aloud, "What do you think?"
Zheng Lun just arrived from Wu'an, although he didn't fight Murong Heng, he went to Xinye to inspect Xian's army, he replied: "Not at all."
"Oh?" Feng Junyang narrowed his eyes slightly, and asked him, "What do you think? Let's hear it."
Zheng Lun said: "I used to think that Murong Heng came here for the sake of Qinghai and Hebei, but now I feel that his purpose is not here, but to kill us, so that we can't send troops to help the He family."
If Feng Junyang wants to help the He family, the best way to send troops is to come west from Qingzhou, and attack the Xian family with the He family on both sides, which can not only make him face the enemy, but also capture some territory for himself.And if they came from Yunxi to the north via Taixing, they could only be dispatched by He Zhen as a guest army, contributing their efforts in vain, but getting no benefit.
At this time, there is not a single fool who can stand in this room, even the veteran Mo Heng is more honest, and at this time, he understands.Right now, Murong Heng is stationing troops in Xinye and Lintong, just to see the way out of Qingzhou to the west.Once the army came out of Qingzhou, unless they captured the two cities first, Murong Heng could send cavalry south at any time to cut off the retreat of Feng Junyang's army and put him in a passive position.
But the difference between attacking a city and defending a city is huge.If Murong Heng is willing to come east, don't say he has an army of one hundred thousand, even if there are more, he will not be afraid of him.But right now the offense and defense are switched, and it is extremely difficult to take back the two important towns of Xinye and Lintong from Murong Heng.
Feng Junyang wanted to tell the Xian family and the He family to consume each other more, so Zheng Lun did not send troops to rescue Xinye and Lintong.Unexpectedly, Tuobayao just took advantage of his thoughts, blocked his way out west, and then sat in Jingyang, watching Mu Zhanyue and Lu Xiao advance southward step by step.
Feng Junyang frowned slightly, and said to Qiu San, "How's it going in Yuzhou?"
Although He Ze had already returned to Taixing, one of his arms was disabled by Chen Nian, so he was unable to fight the enemy, so he had to replace his cousin He and went to Yuzhou, and then He Zhen came back to Taixing.Although He Jin is also a very good general, he cannot be compared with He Zhen, but after only a few months of guarding, Yuzhou is already in danger.
Qiu San listened to Feng Junyang's question, and quickly replied: "According to the news from the past few days, the situation in Yuzhou is not very good. Then Lu Xiao attracted He Jin to fight several times, causing him to lose a lot of soldiers and horses."
Hearing this, Mo Heng couldn't help but said: "It's not good to go on like this. Yuzhou is the gateway to the Jiangzhong Plain. Once it is broken, the fertile fields of thousands of miles can be ridden by the Xian family's iron cavalry, and you can reach Taixing in a few days."
According to the current momentum of the Xian Clan's army, the destruction of Yuzhou City is only a matter of time.What Feng Junyang was worried about was not the destruction of Yuzhou City, but how long He Zhen could keep Taixing.During the Shengyuan period, the northern desert tartars besieged Taixing for two years, but they failed to capture Taixing.This time, I don't know how long He Zhen can last.
Before the first month came out, Yuzhou was finally captured by Mu Zhanyue and Lu Xiao.When the news came back to Jingyang, Tuobayao couldn't help laughing, and said to the servants beside him: "You know that the Xia people have such a vast land and so many people, why did our Xian family break into the country and take down every seat?" Is it a city?"
The valet thought for a while, and complimented: "Because our Xian clan has many generals and is brave and good at fighting."
Tuoba Yao shook his head with a smile, and said: "Because their hearts are not on the same page, they will only plot against each other, play tricks, and fight each other!"
As soon as he said this, everyone around him echoed his voice, and another confidant and veteran said: "Since Yuzhou has descended, the Jiangzhong Plain can be ridden by my iron cavalry. It will be a matter of time before we capture Taixing. Only Qingzhou and Jizhou have Taihang Mountains." As a barrier, it is not easy to take it. It is better to ask the Helan tribe to lead troops into the pass, and go east to support the Murong tribe."
Tuoba Yao smiled lightly when he heard the words, noncommittal.
A few days later, Lu Xiao's messenger came from Yuzhou and reported to Tuobayao: "After Yuzhou was captured, General Qiu Muling connived at Beimo troops under his tent to plunder the city for three days. Although the city was not slaughtered, But it’s no different from massacring a city.”
Tuoba Yao just came back from outside the city, the fox fur cloak on his body has not been taken off yet, it makes him tall and handsome.He didn't care when he heard the words, and said: "What are they trying to do when they come so far away to fight for us? You have to give them benefits so that they can continue to work hard for you. Tell Bu Liuguxiao not to worry about this, if he doesn't If you have the heart, then restrain your subordinates, stay away from those Beimo people, and stop meddling with them."
The messenger explained: "General Bu Liugu is afraid that General Qiu Muling's behavior will arouse the hatred of the Xia people, and he will fight to the death in the future. It will be even more difficult to attack Taixing."
Tuobayao asked the messenger back: "Could it be that Qiu Muling will open the gate of Taixing City and welcome you into the city if Qiu Muling puts up a list to calm the people and doesn't take anything from the people?"
The messenger was speechless when asked, Tuobayao smiled again, and said: "No matter what Qiu Muling does, the battle of Taixing will be extremely difficult, because He Zhen knows that Qiu Muling will definitely kill Taixing. Go back Tell Bu Liuguxiao to lead his troops to station outside Yuzhou city temporarily, and after Qiu Muling travels to Vietnam, he will enter Yuzhou to appease the people."
(End of this chapter)
Unexpectedly, this search took more than three months, Chen Nian climbed countless mountains, and finally found the small grave that Ye Xiaoqi piled up for Xiaoliu that day on a hillside more than two hundred miles away from Qingfeng Village.The tombstone in front of the grave was made of split wood, and after years of wind and rain, it is almost rotten. The crooked and scattered handwriting written by Ye Xiaoqi on it is blurred. I'm afraid this grave will never be found again.
This place is more than [-] miles away from Qingfeng Village, Chennian doesn't know how Ye Xiaoqi walked with Xiaoliu on his back for a few days before arriving here, and with what kind of mood he buried Xiaoliu here and piled up such a small grave.She didn't dare to think about it, because just thinking about it would make her feel so painful.Ever since she left Shengdu with Ye Xiaoqi's body on her back, she has never cried again, and after months of searching alone in the mountains, her mood has rarely fluctuated, but at this moment, she fell down. In front of Xiaoliu's grave, he burst into tears.
When I was young, I didn't care about people and things in every possible way. I thought I could afford it and let it go. Even if I missed it, it was just passing by and forgetting each other in the rivers and lakes.When I can really understand, this passing by is lost forever, and I can't come back, but it's too late to regret.
Chen Nian cried for more than half a day, then stopped, got up and piled Xiaoliu's grave higher, cut out the tombstone with rocks, carved words and stood it in front of the grave, then turned and went down the mountain.It was two days after arriving at the mountain temple where Ye Xiaoqi's coffin was stored, as soon as Chen Nian entered the temple gate, she felt that something was wrong, but now she is very strong in martial arts and fearless, she just paused, and then went straight in In the hall where the coffin is parked.
It was Lu Rongfeng who didn't want to wait inside.
Chen Nian knew that Lu Rongfeng was currently in the Yiping army, but seeing him suddenly appearing here, he was still a little surprised, and wondered: "What is Uncle Lu doing here?"
Lu Rongfeng hurriedly stood up, looked at Chen Nian in a daze, and then asked tentatively, "The master?"
Chen Nian ran around in the mountains all day long, so he was naturally dressed in men's clothes, and because of the heat in midsummer, he only wore a gray-brown coarse cloth bunt.She thought that Lu Rongfeng was surprised by her clothes, she didn't pay attention, she just took off the bamboo hat on her head, and said: "I'm no longer a master, Uncle Lu should call me Chen Nian."
Lu Rongfeng's eyes shifted from her face to her body, and then from her body back to his face. After switching several times like this, he couldn't hide his astonishment.
Chen Nian didn't take it seriously, smiled lightly, and explained: "But I got a little sunburned from running in the mountains, Uncle Lu needn't be so surprised."
Lu Rongfeng nodded blankly, but his eyes still drifted unconsciously to Chen Nian's waist.Chen Nian knew that he had been running around in the mountains for the past few months, not only his skin had turned dark, but his body was also much thicker than before, and he was no longer as slim as before.She didn't care about Lu Rongfeng's scrutiny, she just asked Lu Rongfeng: "Why is Uncle Lu here? Did he come to look for me?"
Lu Rongfeng hurriedly looked away, and replied, "Oh, no, I just passed by here."
This time he didn't lie.Last year, Lu Xiao and Ling Que went to Yiping to find Chen Nian, Lu Rongfeng was instructed by Shunping to leave with Ling Que as an eyeliner.Unexpectedly, he and Lingque waited in the northern forest of Yiping City for most of the night, but only waited until Lu Xiao was alone. After asking, he found out that Chen Nian refused to leave with Lu Xiao.Seeing the situation, Lu Rongfeng no longer had the need to go north with them, so he found an excuse and returned to Yiping, serving as a general under Song Yan.
This time, he really didn't know that Chen Nian would be here. He was ordered by Song Yan to go to Qingzhou, and he stayed here on the way. He accidentally saw Ye Xiaoqi's tablet and was surprised. Whoever stored the coffin here, didn't want his subordinates to come back to find out, but it was Chen Nian who entered the door.
Chennian heard from him that Song Yan ordered him to go to Qingzhou, and he didn't ask him why, he just said: "In this case, Uncle Lu should go to Qingzhou as soon as possible, the military order cannot be delayed."
She obviously didn't want to talk about herself, Lu Rongfeng saw it, so he didn't want to ask too much, after thinking about it, he just asked her: "You want to send Ye Xiaoqi back to the village for burial?"
Chen Nian didn't hide this from him, he shook his head and said, "I won't go back to the village. I have already found Xiao Liu's grave, and I want to send Ye Xiao Qi to her place so that they can be companions."
Lu Rongfeng nodded slowly, and asked again: "Do you need me to send out a sergeant to help?"
Chen Nian said: "No, I'll just hire some people from the mountains. Uncle Lu should do his own thing, don't delay."
As far as she said, it was clear that she meant to drive away the guests, so Lu Rongfeng had no choice but to resign her. Once he left the temple, he ordered the most clever soldier by his side to rush back to Yiping quickly, and put Chen Nian here. The news informed Song Yan.Song Yan received the letter and was not surprised.He was deeply trusted by Feng Junyang, and was left in Jiangbei to guard Yiping. Because he was too far away from Shengdu, he only vaguely knew that Chen Nian married Feng Junyang as the daughter of the He family, and he never heard of it again. What news did she have, but she didn't expect that she would appear alone in the Taihang Mountains.
Song Yan walked around the house a few times, recruited the deputy general to explain the affairs in the city, and then brought a few confidant soldiers and sneaked out of Yiping to the mountains to the north.When he arrived at the mountain temple, Chen Nian had not yet left, and was guarding the carpenter to make a coffin for Xiao Liu.But Chen Nian was impatient to see him, met him face to face, and then hid in the mountains.
She was too fast, and Song Yan couldn't catch up with her, so he had to go back to the temple to wait. After waiting in the temple for two days before Chen Nian came back, he had to go back to Yiping.He thought hard in the middle of the night, oscillating several times between abiding by his duty and being nosy, and finally wrote a secret letter to Feng Junyang.
The letter was sent to Shengdu a few days later, and it was placed in Feng Junyang's desk among a stack of six-hundred-mile urgent letters.
At this time, the war in the north of the river was becoming increasingly tense. Mu Zhanyue captured the important town station on the south side of Jingyang, joined forces with Lu Xiao, and was attacking Yuzhou, the northern gate of the Jiangzhong Plain.After Murong Heng led the army to the west, he did not advance rashly, but fought steadily all the way, and he had already captured Xinye and approached Lintong.The He family kept asking for help from the court. Zheng Lun led troops to garrison Wu'an, and also asked Feng Junyang to send troops to attack Xinye, hoping to preemptively strike.A Fengjun report was delivered, and the court was arguing endlessly. Although Feng Junyang's face was still calm, Shunping could see that there was a gloomy look in his brows and eyes.
Feng Junyang was slightly taken aback when he saw Song Yan's secret letter, and when he looked at the back, he saw that the letter wrote: "...Although I only looked at it from a distance, it is the same as what Lu Rongfeng said. Described as haggard and thin, only the waist is thick, which is different from other places, it is obvious that she is pregnant, but there is no intention of covering it up, I don't know if she doesn't know it yet, or..."
His hand holding the letter trembled slightly, and Shun Ping, who was standing by the side, didn't know why Feng Junyang lost his composure. When he was startled, he saw Feng Junyang leaning his body back slowly, covering his face with the letter paper, He said in a hoarse voice, "Go out."
"My lord..." Shunping said tentatively.
Feng Junyang didn't allow him to speak, and only said: "Get out!"
Shunping didn't dare to disobey his words, although he was puzzled in his heart, he still exited the door cautiously.
Feng Junyang fell back in the chair and did not move, but the letter paper covering his face was slowly showing a wet dizziness.He had longed for this child, hoping to keep Chen Nian, but now that he finally has a child, she is no longer by his side, and it is impossible for her to come back.There was only a moment of joy in my heart, and then there was pain, and the pain was too much, and then I felt numb again, as if my heart had been ripped open and my heart was taken alive.
It was he who repeatedly failed her and caused her to suffer so much.
In the past, even if other men looked at her more than once, he would find it unbearable.But at this moment, he actually hoped that a man would be by her side, to shelter her from the wind and rain, to know her hot and cold, and to coax her to smile.He would rather that she married another man and bear children for that man, and he didn't want her to conceive and bear children for him alone in the mountains, lonely and helpless.
He didn't want her to suffer like this again.
I don't know how long it took before Feng Junyang sat up straight again, carefully folded the letter paper and put it in his arms, called Shunping in, and asked, "Do you know where Chaoyangzi is now?"
Hearing Feng Junyang's sudden question about Chaoyangzi, Shunping's heart skipped a beat.
That day, Empress Dowager Feng's veins were injured by Chen Nian's sword energy, and she has not healed yet, she has been looking for a good doctor in private, and even asked Shunping to help her find her.But Shunping was annoyed that the Empress Dowager Feng was plotting against her younger brother, and seeing that Feng Junyang didn't have any orders, so he didn't take it to heart at all, and just randomly found a few quacks to deal with the matter.But he didn't want Feng Junyang to suddenly ask Chaoyangzi now.
Shunping thought for a while, then said: "Chaoyangzi left Shengdu a long time ago, I'm afraid it's not easy to find, and..." He deliberately paused, and then said, "Only Chaoyangzi's temper is I found it, but I didn’t see it, so I was willing to enter the palace to treat the Queen Mother.”
Feng Junyang could see Shunping's careful thinking, he was silent for a moment, and said: "It's not for the Queen Mother, it's the year of Chen, she is pregnant."
Shunping was taken aback when he heard it, and after a moment of comprehension, surprises and surprises appeared on his face.
This time when Chen Nian left, Feng Junyang didn't ask anyone to trace her whereabouts, Shun Ping pondered for a few nights, and guessed that Feng Junyang was really determined to let Chen Nian go.Although he didn't dare to say anything on the face, he couldn't help but sigh in secret, lamenting that the world is impermanent and good fortune tricks people.Now that I don't want this marriage to come back from a desperate situation, Chen Nian is pregnant!
Shunping hurriedly said: "Congratulations, congratulations to the lord! We finally have a young son in our house! It really is the lord who is brave and brave, and he knows things like a god. The lord has finally waited until this day. After so long, the lord Finally, the pain was not in vain. Oh! I have to write a letter to the old concubine immediately, she will be overjoyed when she finds out."
He spoke incoherently, and as he spoke, he even wiped away his tears and choked up.
Feng Junyang was sad at first, seeing him like this, but he couldn't laugh or cry, he couldn't help sullen, and cursed in a low voice: "Nonsense, don't speak right!"
Junpei just smiled and explained: "The little one is just happy for you!"
Feng Junyang had nothing to say, only a faint wry smile.Shunping wanted to speak to persuade him, but at this moment he didn't know what words to persuade Feng Junyang.If Chennian was someone who was willing to come back just because she was pregnant, she would not have left so resolutely back then.Although it was a desperate situation, the "life" was too small, so it was no wonder Feng Junyang reacted like this.
Feng Junyang said lightly: "Don't gossip anymore, go find Chaoyangzi quickly, if you find him, please go to Jiangbei to take a look at Chen Nian."
"Yes!" Shunping hurriedly responded, and said again, "Don't worry, at that time the princess had ordered me to look for Jing Yuxuan in secret, but I have never dared to let go of this matter, and there are already some clues, I think that Chaoyangzi must be there too. Running after Jing Yuxuan, it's not hard to find."
Having said that, it was several months before Chaoyangzi was found.Chen Nian was about to give birth, Feng Junyang had already arrived in Yiping in secret, just waiting for Chaoyangzi to get angry, a circle of blisters formed on his lips, and he did not see the calmness of the son of the aristocratic family anymore.
Knowing the reason, Chaoyangzi waved his hands after seeing his appearance, "Okay, don't say anything, Daoist, I'll rush over."
Feng Junyang said: "She has been living on the mountain before, and she moved to a small town until a month ago. I have arranged for two midwives to go there, and they will live in Wang Dahu's house in the south of the town. On the pretext of saying that he had saved this Wang Dahu's life, he brought the two women to Chen Nian's side, so that he could take care of him."
After all, it was a woman giving birth, so it was not easy for Chaoyangzi to serve Chen Nian personally, he nodded when he heard the words, and said: "Understood."
While Feng Junyang sent him out, he kept telling Chaoyangzi this and that.After hearing a few words, Chaoyangzi became impatient, stopped and tilted his head to look at him, and asked angrily: "Since you are so worried, why don't you go with Taoist?"
Feng Junyang smiled helplessly, and said: "She doesn't want to see me, I'm going, I'm afraid it will push her further away."
Looking at his pitiful appearance, Chaoyangzi couldn't help feeling a little soft-hearted, shook his sleeves, and walked outside.After waiting outside the door, Chaoyangzi was so angry that he almost jumped again when he saw the dozen or so hidden guards carrying heavy luggage.Pointing to the luggage, he asked Feng Junyang, "You are afraid that Chen Nian will not know that you found Master Dao, right? Master Dao didn't know in advance that she was going to have a baby, so why did you bring these dolls with you?" What did you use? Ah? Tell the Taoist? Why don’t you find ten or eight wet nurses and ask the Taoist to bring them to you?”
Feng Junyang's face was embarrassing, and he just stood there smiling.
Shunping had never seen his master suffer such anger, he felt aggrieved in his heart, couldn't help but stepped forward and said: "Master, our lord is thinking about the princess and the little prince, and doesn't want them to suffer any grievances. Are you I haven't been a father before, so I can't understand this feeling."
Chaoyangzi couldn't help rolling his eyes when he heard this, snorted coldly, and said, "If I knew this earlier, why bother!"
"Hey?" Shunping opened his mouth and wanted to argue again, but Feng Junyang stopped him in a hurry, he saluted Chaoyangzi, apologized for Shunping, and said: "I didn't think carefully at the moment, hope Forgive me, Taoist priest. I will keep these things first, and I will send someone to Wang Dahu's house later, and if the Taoist priest needs anything at that time, I will send it in the name of Wang Dahu."
This can be considered a feasible method, Chaoyangzi nodded, and picked out a few possibly useful ones from the large bags of medicinal supplements, put them into his arms, and said to Feng Junyang: "I will tell you in advance , no matter if Chen Nian is a boy or a girl, don't think about that child. Of course, if Chen Nian is willing to give you the child, that's another matter."
Feng Junyang smiled wryly and said: "Don't worry, Taoist priest, I will never be so despicable."
Chaoyangzi didn't believe in his character, so he just gave him a slanted look, but didn't speak to him.Feng Junyang didn't explain too much. Right now, the mountain is covered with heavy snow, the road is difficult to walk, and Chennian is about to give birth. He just wished to insert two wings on Chaoyangzi so that he could fly over quickly. If he dared to delay any more, he was busy and asked someone to lead Chaoyangzi into the mountain.
The small town where Chen Nian was located was surrounded by mountains on three sides, so it was remote and hard to find. Thanks to Chaoyangzi who had someone from Feng Junyang to lead the way, he was able to find it smoothly all the way.After waiting outside the town, the leader of the secret guard pointed out the house where Chen Nian lived, and said to Chaoyangzi: "The prince has an account, we are not allowed to reveal our whereabouts, and the rest of us will not follow. If the Taoist priest has something to do, go to Wang's house The courtyard is looking for us."
Chao Yangzi took the luggage and said: "You guys don't have anything to do and don't go out to hang around, that girl feels very good, don't let her notice."
The leader of the hidden guard nodded in response, and then Chaoyangzi quickly walked towards the town.The town is not big, Chaoyangzi found the small courtyard that Chen Nian rented in a short time, raised his hand and patted on the door for a long time, but there was no movement in the courtyard.Chaoyangzi was wondering, but the door of the house next door was opened, a woman poked her head out from inside, looked at Chaoyangzi curiously, then retreated quickly, and closed the courtyard door tightly.
Although Chaoyangzi saw that the woman was a bit weird, she didn't care too much, she just thought about jumping into the courtyard to have a look, to see if Chen Nian was at home.He was hesitating, but he heard the door next to him, and turned his head to look, only to see that the one who opened the door this time was not the woman just now, but a chubby young woman, after a closer look, it was Chen Nian.
Chen Nian looked joyful, and smiled and asked Chaoyang Zi, "Master Daoist, how did you find this place?"
Chaoyangzi was stunned for a moment before he understood, and said with a smile: "You girl, you still have a bit of cleverness, which almost made my old man fall for it. I thought it was because I found the wrong place. I don't want you but live next door."
Chen Nian smiled, let Chao Yangzi into the yard, and explained: "There is no other way, I just think that if the enemy finds him, it will be delayed for a while."
Chaoyangzi nodded, and followed her into the west wing. Chen Nian made a cup of hot tea for Chaoyangzi and brought it over, and asked, "The Taoist priest was found by Feng Junyang?"
Chaoyangzi was taken aback when he heard that, and subconsciously asked, "How do you know?"
Chen Nian smiled and said: "You came here alone, which means that I haven't found my master yet. Since I haven't found my master yet, but I came to look for me again, it can be seen that someone sent you a letter, which is why you asked me to put you down." Get off the master and rush to find me."
She guessed everything right, Chaoyangzi couldn't hide it from her anymore, and he was not good at lying, so he didn't intend to hide it from Chennian.Chaoyangzi thought for a while, and said: "It was indeed Feng Junyang who found me and said that you were pregnant and about to give birth, so I rushed over here."
Chen Nian said again: "I guess that's the case. In the summer, I saw Uncle Lu. He said he was going to Qingzhou, but after a few days of leaving, Song Yan found it again. I went to hide in the mountains. After a few days, when he came out again, he had already left, so he thought he was fine. From this point of view, he must have sent a letter to Feng Junyang when he returned."
After Chaoyangzi heard this, he gave her an annoyed look and reprimanded: "You girl, you are still running around in the mountains like this when you are pregnant. You are not afraid of mistakes." He asked Chen Nian to sit down and carefully gave her After checking the pulse, he breathed a sigh of relief, "Thanks to your good foundation, this child is also strong, so he can withstand your tossing."
Chen Nian smiled embarrassedly, and said: "Don't ask the Taoist priest to train again, I didn't know before. During those few months, I was only busy burying Xiao Qi and Xiao Liu, and I didn't care about anything. The waist is getting thicker day by day, I think I have grown strong. After I got pregnant and was told by a sister-in-law, I didn't know that I was pregnant."
She got up to turn up the fire, and brought the kettle to refill Chaoyangzi with hot tea.Seeing how clumsy her actions were, and hearing that she didn't know she was pregnant until the child was conceived, Chao Yangzi felt a little sad, and sighed: "What a silly girl."
Chen Nian didn't take it seriously, grinned, and sat down opposite Chaoyangzi again, leaned over, and asked with great interest: "Master Dao, you are a genius doctor, you may be able to tell whether I am pregnant with a boy or a girl? Landlord The aunt said that I have a round belly, and I am a girl!"
Her pupils were sparkling, and there was no sense of sorrow or self-pity in her. Zhao Yangzi saw that her expression did not seem to be fake, although he was inevitably moved, he couldn't help but relax, and said: "You reach out again, and I will show you .”
Chen Nian hastily stretched out his arm, Chao Yangzi put three fingers on her wrist, and the other hand stroked her beard slowly, after concentrating for a moment, he said with a smile: "It is indeed a female fetus."
"It's really great. I bought some small floral cloths, and the landlady is helping me make small clothes. Each piece is only this big. It's just fun to look at." Chen Nian stretched out his hand to compare the size, and said with a smile , "I don't even know how to dress the little doll."
Chaoyangzi stroked his beard and nodded, with a smile on his face, he said, "What's so difficult about it? You'll be fine if you learn slowly."
The two chatted for a while, and the landlord's wife prepared meals and delivered them over.Because Chaoyangzi was new, Chen Nian specially told the woman to butcher a chicken, and brought up a large bowl full of stewed chicken, which was so fragrant that it made the mouth water.Most of the people in the mountains are poor, so this is already a very good thing. The woman bought it for Chen Nian, and said: "This is what I bought for confinement. I usually don't want to part with it. The Taoist priest is really good. .”
Chen Nian hurriedly interrupted her, and said with a smile: "If you buy it, you can eat it. It's the same if you eat it early or late. Madam, go eat quickly. One bowl is enough for me. You can eat the rest."
The woman was overjoyed when she heard this, and went back to her room for dinner.After she left, Chen Nian smiled and explained to Chaoyangzi: "Don't listen to the landlady, Daoist, she said that on purpose to make you appreciate it. I bought a lot of chickens and brought them back. In the yard next door, I would eat one every now and then."
However, Chaoyangzi knows how those rich and noble families raise babies. With Chennian's status and Feng Junyang's importance to her, let alone eat a chicken, or eat a phoenix, I am afraid that Feng Junyang can give it to her. to find.But right now, she feels satisfied after eating a chicken every few days.Chaoyangzi couldn't help sighing, and said Chen Nian said: "You girl, why bother to suffer this by yourself! Anyway, Feng Junyang is also the father of this child, and you should take care of him as a matter of course."
Chen Nian was silent for a moment, but said calmly: "Master Dao, I don't think this is suffering. I live this kind of life by myself, and I just feel at ease in my heart."
Seeing her in such a situation, Chaoyangzi couldn't say anything more, and lowered his head to eat in silence, but he was thinking about the things Feng Junyang sent to the Wang family's compound in his heart, so he had to find a chance to get some back.After the two of them had eaten, Chen Nian invited the woman over to take away the bowls and chopsticks, and then asked Chao Yangzi, "Does the Daoist want to stay?"
Since Chaoyangzi came, he naturally had to wait for her to give birth before leaving, so he said: "Stop, you can continue to live here, anyway, there is only the woman in this yard, there is no inconvenience. I will live next door , so close that you can hear something if you shout."
Chen Nian thought the same way, after all, giving birth to a child was the first time in her life, no matter how daring she was, she still had fear in her heart.She thanked Chaoyangzi, took him to the next yard, and said: "Although I don't live there, the bedding is all complete. After cleaning up the house and getting angry again, I can live in."
Chaoyangzi saw that she was going to tidy up his house with her stomach full, so she hurriedly stopped her and said angrily, "You girl, why don't you know what's serious? It's going to happen in a few days, so don't cause trouble for me." Already!"
Chen Nian stopped being scolded by him, and smiled sarcastically, after all, he called the landlady over and asked her to help Chaoyangzi tidy up the house and start a fire, so he gave up.
Chaoyangzi was a little uncertain about Chen Nian's attitude towards Feng Junyang, and he didn't dare to say that Feng Junyang was about to take the Wang family compound in the south of the town as his own, and put all the people and things he needed in it. There.He pretended to go out for a walk, and when he came back, he said to Chen Nian: "I also said that this place looked familiar, so I came here before, and saved the life of that Wang Dahu in Zhennan. I will go there when I turn around." Find him and ask for some food from him."
It was so coincidental that Chen Nian couldn't help but feel a little unbelief, and secretly thought that this was probably Feng Junyang's method, she didn't say anything, just smiled and said: "The Taoist leader should go quickly, I guess he will It’s all about waiting to repay the Taoist priest.”
Hearing what she said, Chaoyangzi's old face turned red, but he said with a dark face: "Don't be so rigid in life, don't reject what comes to your door for nothing. It's good to have ambition, but if you only It's not necessary to bet on it."
Chen Nian said: "Where did I get angry, Taoist priest don't want to wrong me. If Taoist priest goes to that Wang Dahu's house, don't forget to ask him for some snacks, so that I can satisfy my hunger."
She is about to become a mother here, but she still can't forget her snacks like a little girl. Chaoyangzi couldn't help her, so he gave her a blank look and said, "Good luck! In the future, mother and daughter will fight for snacks, then It's just a joke."
Having said that, when Zhao Yangzi came back from Wang Dahu the next day, in addition to bringing back two midwives, he actually brought a large box of fruit snacks for Chennian. The most up-to-date style stunned Chaoyangzi.
Chen Nian couldn't help laughing: "What a big royal family, unexpectedly raised such a good cook."
Chaoyangzi was also speechless, stared at the food box for a while, then looked up at Chen Nian, but couldn't help asking her: "Do you think that Feng Junyang is smart or stupid?"
Chen Nian thought for a while, and said: "If he really wants to hide it, there is no way he can't hide it. But the Taoist priest is right, no matter what, he is the father of this child, and it is right to accept some benefits from him." Don't worry, Taoist priest, I will not disregard the child's good or bad just to get angry with him."
Now that she had said this, the two midwives stayed.Both of these two were brought by Feng Junyang from Shengdu, and they have delivered children to many wealthy families, and they are the most experienced.The two of them checked Chen Nian carefully, and said: "The child has already entered the basin, and it will only take four or five days."
Sure enough, when it was dark on the fourth day, Chen Nian felt a stomachache.The landlady has received many benefits from Chen Nian, and has already prepared the delivery room with everything in it.The two midwives were taking care of them in the delivery room, and there was Chaoyangzi, a genius doctor, sitting outside. Chen Nian didn't feel any fear at all. Taking advantage of the rest of the labor pains, he didn't forget to ask the midwives: "How long will it take to give birth?" ?”
The midwife couldn't help laughing, and said: "There is no such thing as accurate time. But don't worry, lady, you are strong, and the child is not too big, so it won't take long. It's just that you are the first child, and you have just started to have seizures. It takes a day and a half."
Chen Nian nodded slowly, thinking to himself that it was only a day, no matter how painful it was, he would just grit his teeth and get over it.Unexpectedly, giving birth is not as easy as she thought. It was fine at first, and she could still hold back the waves of labor pains. Later on, the intervals became shorter and shorter, and she couldn't help moaning. .
Chaoyang Ziben was waiting in the East Wing. He hadn't heard any news for a long time and couldn't help but feel a little anxious. He went out of the house to look, but saw Shunping poking his head at the gate of the courtyard. He was taken aback and wondered, "Why are you here? "
Shunping rushed in hurriedly, and said in a low voice: "Master Dao, you still don't know about our lord? No matter how well you talk, you can't let the princess go in your heart. We came secretly the day before yesterday, but we didn't dare Show up, don't you rush over as soon as you hear that the princess is going to give birth, and right now you're standing outside the wall."
Chaoyangzi glanced at the courtyard wall, although he couldn't see Feng Junyang's figure, he couldn't help but snorted coldly, and said, "Then tell him to stand there!"
He flicked his sleeves and turned back to the house, leaving Shunping alone in the courtyard.It was the twelfth lunar month of winter, and it was midnight, and the north wind was blowing like a knife. Shunping really wanted to brazenly follow Chaoyangzi into the house, but thinking that his prince was still standing outside the wall, he had no choice but to bite Gritting her teeth, she trotted out of the yard, and said to Feng Jun, "Don't worry, my lord. I heard that there is not much movement in the house, and Chaoyangzi is not in a hurry. Everything must be fine."
Feng Junyang remained silent, bowed his head slightly, but his body was straight, standing motionless in the snow.
Shunping unconsciously sighed secretly, and said: "The prince should go in and wait, so that the concubine can know that you are here. No matter how much she annoys you, at this time, she hopes that you can be by her side."
Only then did Feng Junyang raise his head, and asked Shunping in a tight voice, "Really?"
"Extremely true!" Shunping hurriedly said, fearing that Feng Junyang would not believe it, he used himself as an example, "When the little mother-in-law gave birth, the little one was waiting outside the door, listening to her blowing the little one out of her hair. She scolded the child up to the heels, and scolded the child until the child fell to the ground. Later, the woman told the little one, because she knew that the little one was outside, and she felt at ease, even when she scolded the little one, she felt strong."
Feng Junyang hesitated for a moment, but finally made up his mind, walked into the yard resolutely, stood under the window, and said in a low voice, "Chen Nian, I'm here."
The room was silent for a moment, and it was only after a while that Chen Nian hissed and scolded: "Get out!"
Before the words fell, it turned into a cry of pain, which was actually louder than just now.Feng Junyang's face turned pale when he heard the sound, and he almost couldn't stand up.Shunping on the side forced himself to smile, stepped forward and said to Feng Junyang in a low voice: "It's not a problem, it's not a problem, the princess is willing to scold you, that's better than anything else."
Feng Junyang pursed his thin lips very tightly, and stood under the window without saying a word, just quietly listening to Chen Nian's painful moans inside, and whenever she yelled loudly, he would yell in a deep voice: "Chen Nian year, here I am."
I don't know how long it took, as if it had lasted for several years, Feng Junyang suddenly heard the midwife shouting happily in the house: "I gave birth, I gave birth!" There was the sound of a baby crying.
Chaoyangzi had already come out of the east chamber, raised his voice and asked the midwife in the house, "How is the situation?"
After a while, I heard the midwife reply: "It's a daughter-in-law, mother and daughter are safe."
Chaoyangzi heaved a sigh of relief unconsciously, he just waited for the house to be cleaned up so that he could go in and have a look at Chen Nian.Even Shunping, who forgot about his lord for a moment, gathered at the door with Chaoyangzi, thinking of taking a look at the little princess.Only Feng Junyang was still standing under the window in a daze, still saying: "Chen Nian, I am here."
This sentence was not louder than the previous ones, but it fell into Chen Nian's ears, but he heard it most clearly.Tears overflowed from the corners of her eyes, mixed with sweat, and slowly flowed into her temples. Chen Nian closed his eyes unconsciously, and waited until the tears in those eyes dried up before opening his mouth softly, and told the midwife: "Mother, go and invite the Taoist priest in." .”
The midwife was swift in her hands and feet, and quickly tidied up Chen Nian, and said respectfully: "Understood, you can rest at ease first."
After a while, Chaoyangzi saw the child, came in from the outer room, cut Chennian's pulse first, then smiled and said: "Very good, I will make some soup for you later, take good care of yourself these days That's it."
While talking, the other midwife carried the baby back, lowered it for Chen Nian to see, and said with a smile on her face: "Look, the old woman has delivered countless babies, but she has never seen such a good-looking baby." Take a look at those brows and eyes, and then look at this small nose and small mouth, it makes people happy to look at it. I'm afraid this little look will be better than yours when it grows up!"
Chen Nian forced himself up to look at the baby in swaddling clothes, only to see that her small face was not much bigger than a human fist, her face was red, and her eyebrows and eyes were wrinkled together.She couldn't help laughing, stared blankly for a while, but the smile on her face gradually faded, and said to Chaoyangzi: "Master Dao, take this child outside and show him, then tell him to go."
Chaoyangzi was taken aback for a moment, then realized that "he" refers to Feng Junyang.
Chen Nian lowered his eyes, and said again: "Tell him, you don't have to come here again. This child will take my surname first, and when she grows up to be sensible, I will tell her her life experience, and the child will decide what will happen then."
Chaoyangzi sighed unconsciously, but didn't say anything, and just told the midwife to carry the baby to the outside room.Shunping was still waiting for the letter outside the door, and when he heard that Chaoyangzi named Feng Junyang to go in, he was overjoyed, and when he turned back to look for his prince, he realized that Feng Junyang was still standing under the window in a daze.
Shunping also forgot the rules for a while, and only waved to Feng Junyang cheerfully, saying: "My lord, come here quickly, my concubine invites you in!"
Not wanting Feng Junyang to stand there but not moving, Shun Ping trotted over, stood in front of Feng Junyang, and repeated what he said just now, but Feng Junyang still didn't respond.Shunping was very surprised, looked at Feng Junyang carefully, and saw that although his face was pale, his expression had calmed down, but he didn't know why he was so unresponsive.
Feng Junyang raised his eyes, glanced at Shunping lightly, and said softly, "Come here and help me."
Shunping was taken aback, suddenly a little dumbfounded.He stretched his face tightly, and didn't dare to ask Feng Junyang if his legs were so frightened that he couldn't walk. Instead, he covered it up for him and said, "The prince is too, and he doesn't know where to move. Don't say it's still such a cold day. Even if your legs are not stiff, you must be frozen."
He babbled in a low voice, and helped Feng Junyang to walk towards the door of the main house.At this moment, the sky is already bright, the sun has already crossed the east wall, and the bright sunlight hits the person's body, it is a sunny day after snow.Feng Junyang walked a few steps deep and shallow, and asked Shunping in a low voice: "She told me to go in?"
Shunping thought there was no difference between Chaoyangzi's call and Chennian's call, so he nodded hurriedly: "Yes!"
Feng Junyang's heart suddenly brightened, and he took off his cloak at the door and threw it to Shunping, then he opened the curtain and slipped into the room.As soon as he looked up, he saw Chaoyangzi standing in the outer room with his child in his arms. Feng Junyang's legs and feet felt a little stiff, and he didn't know how to move for a moment.He paused for a moment, then stepped forward, held his breath and approached the child, lowering his head to take a closer look at her appearance.
Small, delicate, with fists on her cheeks, so tender and transparent... This is his daughter, this is his and Chen Nian's child.Feng Junyang's heart was full of joy, but the corners of his eyes felt a little wet, and he walked towards the back room without thinking, wishing he could get to Chen Nian's side in one step.
Chaoyangzi flashed, stopped in front of him, and whispered, "She doesn't want to see you."
This sentence was like a sap, and Feng Junyang froze immediately.He stood in a daze for a long while, then came back to his senses, smiled shyly, and said softly: "I know."
Chaoyangzi relayed Chen Nian's words to Feng Junyang again, saying: "You know her temper, so don't push yourself against it."
Feng Junyang nodded slowly, without speaking, he just looked down at the child again.
Chaoyangzi is a person with a cold face and a warm heart. Looking at Feng Junyang like this, he is actually a little soft-hearted. After thinking about it, he put the child in his arms into his arms and said, "You can give him a hug."
Where did Feng Junyang hold such a small child before? His hands and feet froze for a moment, and thanks to the tight swaddling clothes, he was able to support the child with his arms.He stared blankly at the child, feeling that his heart had turned into a puddle of water. He wanted to lower his head to kiss the child, but he didn't dare to touch it when he got closer, so he just took a few deep breaths and sniffed the child greedily. The smell of a child.
Chaoyangzi carried the child from his arms and said, "Let's go."
Feng Junyang was silent for a long time, but said softly: "I want to take a look at her." As if afraid of Chaoyangzi's rejection, he quickly added, "I won't go in, just take a look at her at the door."
He spoke so pitifully that Chaoyangzi had nothing to do with him, so he had to wave his hand, motioning him to go and have a look.Feng Junyang walked slowly to the door of the back room, stretched out his hand to lift the curtain, but stopped when his fingertips touched the cool curtain.He maintained this posture for a long time without moving, but finally withdrew his hand, turned around and came outside.
Shunping has been waiting at the door, not wanting his master to come out so soon, he was a little surprised for a while: "My lord?"
Feng Junyang ignored him, and just strode out of the courtyard without stopping.Shunping was full of doubts, looked at him, then looked back at the door, couldn't help stomping his feet and sighed, and then chased Feng Junyang away.
Feng Junyang led his people out of the mountains and did not return to Yiping. Instead, he bypassed the west side of Taihang and went to Qingzhou, where he spent the New Year's Eve of the third year of Xinwu.
Years ago, Murong Heng led his troops to take down Lintong. Just when everyone thought he would continue to go east and attack Wu'an, Murong Heng stopped his eastward march and only occupied the two important towns of Lintong and Xinye. Confronted with Zheng Lun of Wu'an.
Murong Heng's move was too unexpected, and the world had different opinions for a while.Some people said that it was because of the cold weather that it was inconvenient to fight, so the Xian family suspended their eastward march, while others said that it was because the Xian family did not want to confront Feng Jun head-on, so they stopped in Lintong.Feng Junyang just sneered after hearing these two statements. He turned his eyes away from the map, looked up at the people in the room, and asked aloud, "What do you think?"
Zheng Lun just arrived from Wu'an, although he didn't fight Murong Heng, he went to Xinye to inspect Xian's army, he replied: "Not at all."
"Oh?" Feng Junyang narrowed his eyes slightly, and asked him, "What do you think? Let's hear it."
Zheng Lun said: "I used to think that Murong Heng came here for the sake of Qinghai and Hebei, but now I feel that his purpose is not here, but to kill us, so that we can't send troops to help the He family."
If Feng Junyang wants to help the He family, the best way to send troops is to come west from Qingzhou, and attack the Xian family with the He family on both sides, which can not only make him face the enemy, but also capture some territory for himself.And if they came from Yunxi to the north via Taixing, they could only be dispatched by He Zhen as a guest army, contributing their efforts in vain, but getting no benefit.
At this time, there is not a single fool who can stand in this room, even the veteran Mo Heng is more honest, and at this time, he understands.Right now, Murong Heng is stationing troops in Xinye and Lintong, just to see the way out of Qingzhou to the west.Once the army came out of Qingzhou, unless they captured the two cities first, Murong Heng could send cavalry south at any time to cut off the retreat of Feng Junyang's army and put him in a passive position.
But the difference between attacking a city and defending a city is huge.If Murong Heng is willing to come east, don't say he has an army of one hundred thousand, even if there are more, he will not be afraid of him.But right now the offense and defense are switched, and it is extremely difficult to take back the two important towns of Xinye and Lintong from Murong Heng.
Feng Junyang wanted to tell the Xian family and the He family to consume each other more, so Zheng Lun did not send troops to rescue Xinye and Lintong.Unexpectedly, Tuobayao just took advantage of his thoughts, blocked his way out west, and then sat in Jingyang, watching Mu Zhanyue and Lu Xiao advance southward step by step.
Feng Junyang frowned slightly, and said to Qiu San, "How's it going in Yuzhou?"
Although He Ze had already returned to Taixing, one of his arms was disabled by Chen Nian, so he was unable to fight the enemy, so he had to replace his cousin He and went to Yuzhou, and then He Zhen came back to Taixing.Although He Jin is also a very good general, he cannot be compared with He Zhen, but after only a few months of guarding, Yuzhou is already in danger.
Qiu San listened to Feng Junyang's question, and quickly replied: "According to the news from the past few days, the situation in Yuzhou is not very good. Then Lu Xiao attracted He Jin to fight several times, causing him to lose a lot of soldiers and horses."
Hearing this, Mo Heng couldn't help but said: "It's not good to go on like this. Yuzhou is the gateway to the Jiangzhong Plain. Once it is broken, the fertile fields of thousands of miles can be ridden by the Xian family's iron cavalry, and you can reach Taixing in a few days."
According to the current momentum of the Xian Clan's army, the destruction of Yuzhou City is only a matter of time.What Feng Junyang was worried about was not the destruction of Yuzhou City, but how long He Zhen could keep Taixing.During the Shengyuan period, the northern desert tartars besieged Taixing for two years, but they failed to capture Taixing.This time, I don't know how long He Zhen can last.
Before the first month came out, Yuzhou was finally captured by Mu Zhanyue and Lu Xiao.When the news came back to Jingyang, Tuobayao couldn't help laughing, and said to the servants beside him: "You know that the Xia people have such a vast land and so many people, why did our Xian family break into the country and take down every seat?" Is it a city?"
The valet thought for a while, and complimented: "Because our Xian clan has many generals and is brave and good at fighting."
Tuoba Yao shook his head with a smile, and said: "Because their hearts are not on the same page, they will only plot against each other, play tricks, and fight each other!"
As soon as he said this, everyone around him echoed his voice, and another confidant and veteran said: "Since Yuzhou has descended, the Jiangzhong Plain can be ridden by my iron cavalry. It will be a matter of time before we capture Taixing. Only Qingzhou and Jizhou have Taihang Mountains." As a barrier, it is not easy to take it. It is better to ask the Helan tribe to lead troops into the pass, and go east to support the Murong tribe."
Tuoba Yao smiled lightly when he heard the words, noncommittal.
A few days later, Lu Xiao's messenger came from Yuzhou and reported to Tuobayao: "After Yuzhou was captured, General Qiu Muling connived at Beimo troops under his tent to plunder the city for three days. Although the city was not slaughtered, But it’s no different from massacring a city.”
Tuoba Yao just came back from outside the city, the fox fur cloak on his body has not been taken off yet, it makes him tall and handsome.He didn't care when he heard the words, and said: "What are they trying to do when they come so far away to fight for us? You have to give them benefits so that they can continue to work hard for you. Tell Bu Liuguxiao not to worry about this, if he doesn't If you have the heart, then restrain your subordinates, stay away from those Beimo people, and stop meddling with them."
The messenger explained: "General Bu Liugu is afraid that General Qiu Muling's behavior will arouse the hatred of the Xia people, and he will fight to the death in the future. It will be even more difficult to attack Taixing."
Tuobayao asked the messenger back: "Could it be that Qiu Muling will open the gate of Taixing City and welcome you into the city if Qiu Muling puts up a list to calm the people and doesn't take anything from the people?"
The messenger was speechless when asked, Tuobayao smiled again, and said: "No matter what Qiu Muling does, the battle of Taixing will be extremely difficult, because He Zhen knows that Qiu Muling will definitely kill Taixing. Go back Tell Bu Liuguxiao to lead his troops to station outside Yuzhou city temporarily, and after Qiu Muling travels to Vietnam, he will enter Yuzhou to appease the people."
