Chapter 35: Xi, a New Beginning

"Congratulations, congratulations!" The room echoed with the loud cry of a baby, and a stable woman who had just been in charge of delivering a baby for Xiangcheng was holding the newborn baby at this time, and kept making waves at Zhao Chen, saying happy words.

"Congratulations, you're a son!" The rest of the Wen Po, who had cleaned up Xiangcheng at this time, also bowed to Zhao Chen, with a smile on their faces that could not be concealed, and kept saying hello to Zhao Chen.

"Good, good!" Zhao Chen listened to the words of several stable women, and said yes in his mouth, and then came to the stable woman, opened the corner of the blanket, looked at the little dot wrapped in the blanket, and was indescribably happy in his heart.

The newborn baby was lying in the blanket at this time, crying with its mouth open, its eyes closed, and the skin on its body was blood-red, tender and wrinkled.

This is the child of Lao Tzu!

Zhao Chen stretched out his index finger and gently stroked the child's forehead, feeling this feeling of flesh and blood, and couldn't help but smile in his heart.

This is a continuation of the bloodline, a very special feeling, just like the sustenance of one more soul, it is difficult to describe concretely, that kind of inner feeling.

The child's crying continued, and he didn't stop crying because of Zhao Chen's touch, which didn't give Zhao Chen face!

"Husband..."Xiangcheng, who was lying on the couch, was completely prostrated at this time, his face was sallow, and his hair was wet and sticking to his cheeks.

However, even so, Xiangcheng's eyes were full of happiness at this time, and when he looked at Zhao Chen, his tone was irrepressibly excited, and he spoke.

"We've got a baby!" Zhao Chen heard Xiangcheng's voice. Immediately instructed Wen Po to carry the child to Xiangcheng's side, and looked at Xiangcheng with gentle eyes. Stretched out his hand and put a strand of hair on Xiangcheng's forehead behind his head. Speak softly.

"Uh-huh!" Wen Po put the crying baby next to Xiangcheng, who had collapsed, at this time, when Zhao Chen spoke, Xiangcheng's eyes looked at the crying Xiao Budian beside him, and a line of tears rolled down the corners of his eyes.

Since I was a child, I didn't have a mother, and I looked at the other brothers and sisters, and I was happy. There is a mother who is hurt and spoiled, and Xiangcheng only secretly envies.

Now, looking at this little bit that fell from his body, what Xiangcheng felt in his heart was more complex and profound than Zhao Chen!

"Sister, don't cry!" Qin Yuyan on the side was also happy at this time, looking at the newborn little girl, covering her mouth in surprise. saw that Xiangcheng began to cry, and immediately persuaded him.

Qin Yuyan was naturally clear about the past of Xiangcheng, and at this time he saw Xiangcheng crying. There is no one who doesn't understand Xiangcheng's feelings. It's just that although she persuaded Xiangcheng on her lips, her tears were. Uncontrollably falling down.

Happy, heartfelt happy, for Zhao Chen. Happy for Xiangcheng too!

"Husband, give the child a name!" Xiangcheng has wiped away his tears. Stretched out his hand and gently patted the little girl in his arms, and between his eyebrows and eyes, he looked at Zhao Chen with the light of motherhood and said.

"Take a name!" At this time, there were only three of them left in the room, and Zhao Chen frowned slightly when he heard this.

Then, he moved a chair over and put it in front of Xiangcheng's couch, looked at the little little girl who was in Xiangcheng's arms, and fell into deep thought.

And when Zhao Chen fell into contemplation for the matter of choosing a name, the ceremony at Xuanwumen did not stop because of Zhao Chen's departure.

It's just that Zhao Chen was originally responsible for the matter, but at this time, Li Chengqian and Lao Qin were forced to be responsible!

Fortunately, these things were prepared by Zhao Chen in advance, as long as there would be no mistakes in the middle, they would go on smoothly and normally.

At this time, a group of soldiers wearing new armor had already passed in front of the Xuanwu Gate one by one.

Li Er and the hundred officials, who fully watched the ceremony at the Xuanwu Gate, showed the new armaments that the military academy had stepped up to produce in the past year, such as armor, bows and crossbows, wheeled mobile beds, and earthen cannons used in Mobei.

Almost every time a soldier passed by the front line of the Xuanwu Gate, it was bound to attract a large number of admiration, obviously, although they had heard of some things for a long time, it was the first time they had seen them.

And among them, especially when the earthen cannon appeared, it attracted everyone's eyes wide and stopped to watch.

This thing created a mythical record during the Battle of Mobei, when Zhao Chen was only one person, and with a cannon, he almost flattened the entire Evil Yang Ridge.

Such a record, even throughout history, has never appeared, which is enough to make them speechless in shock!

Then, when they saw the real earth cannon appear, they were a little disappointed, it looked like it was just an ordinary iron bucket, and there was nothing else out of the ordinary.

However, this regret only existed for a while, and by the time it came to the Xuanwu Gate, all the displayed teams had been passed, and the request from the military academy was also sent to Li Er.

Next, there will be a real showcase, which can also be called a drill!

"Accurate!" Li Er's mood at this time was extremely happy, with his grandson, and he had seen so many new equipment, his mood was indescribably happy.

Therefore, when he heard the request sent by the military academy, he waved his hand and said very happily.

Li Er's reply was soon sent to Li Chengqian and others in the Military Academy, and when he heard Li Er's reply, Li Chengqian's eyes looked at Qin Shubao and Li Jing, smiled slightly, and took a long breath.

The so-called display and drill are naturally in front of Li Er and hundreds of officials, and all new weapons will be used to exert a little power, so that Li Er and others can see it, especially the earthen cannon that has long been famous.

"No problem, right?" The soldiers in charge of the earth artillery are naturally the people of the Flying Tiger Army, and in the past six months, Zhao Chen has taught them the knowledge of modern artillery fire.

At this time, with the emperor's approval, Li Chengqian suddenly came to the Flying Tiger Army, Dugumou, who was in charge of the earthen artillery, and asked worriedly.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, just rest assured!" At this time, Dugumou had been promoted to the position of the head of the eighteenth team of the Flying Tiger Army, and belonged to a general at the most basic level of Datang.

Hearing Li Chengqian's worried words, Dugu Mou suddenly turned at Li Chengqian and explained seriously: "Master Hou, he has already measured the distance in advance, as long as the cannon barrel is lifted over and put down, there will be no problem!" ”

Hearing that Zhao Chen had already been measured in advance, Li Chengqian's heart that had just been suspended was suddenly put down, he didn't trust anyone anymore, but he trusted Zhao Chen very much.

Dugu Mou took the team that had just returned from Xuanwu Gate, left the military courtyard again, and came to the outside of the military courtyard.

"It's time to start!" Li Er, who was standing on the Xuanwu Gate, looked at the cannon barrels that had been erected from a distance, his nerves tensed suddenly, and his eyes were straight to the line, and the muzzles of the cannons were all aimed at the ten cannon barrels of Longshouyuan.

Looking at the Dragon Head Plain from this position, you can see that on the originally green Dragon Head Plain, at this moment, several white arrow targets are placed in turn, and the bullseye is facing the side of the military courtyard.

Not far away, not close, but at this distance, the originally small arrow target seems to be smaller and smaller, so small that it can be ignored.

However, Dugumou and the others were indifferent, and they didn't realize it at all, at such a distance, could the earth cannon shoot off those arrow targets!

Speaking kung fu, the ten cannon barrels have been placed properly, Dugu Mou routinely checked it, and after he was convinced, he held two small flags and made a few flags against the side of the military academy.

"Let's go!" Li Chengqian saw the flag of Dugumou, suddenly took a deep breath, looked at Dugumou over there, and decisively ordered.

The soldier next to him, hearing Li Chengqian's words, waved the flag in his hand as if he was Dugumou, and made a decisive flag in front of Dugumou.

"Ready!" Seeing Li Chengqian waving the flag, Dugumou suddenly turned around, looked at the ten earthen cannons, and the twenty soldiers who were in charge of firing the cannons, and shouted in a hissed voice.

As soon as the sound of preparation came out, the soldiers guarding in front of the earthen cannon immediately picked up the 'cannonball' from the side and put it into the barrel.

"Put!" Dugu Mou saw that the ten cannon barrels were already loaded with shells, and the next moment, he suddenly waved the flag in his hand downward, like waving a knife, and issued a decisive order in his mouth.

'Boom''''''

At the moment when Dugu Mou issued the order, among the ten cannon barrels, a deafening sound suddenly came one after another.

Immediately, with this sound, one after another, one after another, 'cannonballs' flew out of the barrel of the cannon, drew an arc in the sky, and went straight to the arrow targets of Longshouyuan.

The next moment, the calm Longshou Plain, artillery fire in the sky, soil splashing, one after another whistling out of the cannonballs, exploded on the Longshou Plain, for a time, the entire military courtyard, Xuanwu Gate and Longshou Plain, were covered by the sound of artillery fire.

At this time, the number of people present reached tens of thousands, however, at this moment, looking at Longshouyuan covered by artillery fire from afar, they were all stunned and speechless.

Shocking, full of shock!

Tens of thousands of pairs of eyes stared at the dragon head plain that had been covered by artillery fire, all as if they had been immobilized at this moment, and they were all dumbfounded.

If there is a sound to be found at the scene, it is the sound of gasps and the sound of throat rolling from time to time.

"Let's call it Zhao Xi!" In the princess's mansion, in the delivery room of Xiangcheng, Zhao Chen, who had been pondering for a long time, suddenly raised his head, looked at Xiangcheng and Qin Yuyan and said: "Xi, representing the rising sun, indicates a new beginning, and it will only get better and better in the future!" ”

As soon as these words fell, before Xiangcheng could speak to Qin Yuyan, the three people in the room heard it at this time, and from a distance, from the Xuanwu Gate, there was a sudden sound of cannon fire like thunder. (To be continued.) )
