Chapter 194: Life Is Not Difficult
Caught a Turkic spy and immediately promoted to brigade commander, a reward that made every guard eager.
After they arrived near Daoguangfang, they immediately split up and searched carefully. Probably because the lottery promised by Wu Youyi is too big, and the position of brigade commander is only one, if the two of them catch the assassin at the same time, whose credit should be credited? Even if it is diluted, it is not cost-effective for one person to catch one team.
So, as the search area expanded, the guards quietly distanced themselves from their companions and searched in different directions, each believing that luck would be his.
βzhanzhuοΌ Who? β
It was past the curfew time, and two public servants patrolling the street came from afar with lanterns, and suddenly saw Yang Fan holding a steel knife, and couldn't help but nervously touch the waist knife, and when they saw Yang Fan's clothes as a forbidden army guard, they couldn't help but be stunned again. Yang Fan raised his waist card to them, and the two approached cautiously, and after identifying Yang Fan's waist card, they hurriedly nodded and left.
"Strange! Something happened today, and I met three Praetorian guards along the way. β
"What's so rare about encountering the forbidden army, just now Liu Si'er and the two of them also met the people of the internal guard, I'm afraid that something big will happen again, so be careful when patrolling."
The two public servants patrolling the street quietly whispered away, and Yang Fan stood still on the long street with his eyebrows locked, scanning the quiet long street under the night, secretly thinking about the possible whereabouts of the two Turkic spies.
Once the enemy grasps such important information as the deployment of military forces and the allocation of weapons, the consequences will be truly unimaginable. And if these things are mastered by the enemy, it is impossible to change them easily.
Can all the deployed troops be mobilized and changed? Where and how many people are stationed is closely related to its strategic intentions, and it is also closely related to the topography and geography.
The armament of the army is also closely related to their usual training, can they change it as they want, and how much combat power can they exert after changing?
Forts built over many years are set up according to the number of troops it needs to be stationed, the role it plays in the war, and its military geographical location, once the army and armament change. They will lose most of their usefulness, and it will not be possible to build new fortresses, not to mention the huge consumption of financial and material resources.
The strength and combat effectiveness of the Turks and Tibetans in the border areas are not weaker than those of the Tang Dynasty, because of the turmoil of the political situation in the Tang Dynasty, which is even higher than that of the Tang Dynasty at present, in this case. If this information really falls into the hands of the Turks. Let them know the military deployment of the Tang Dynasty in Longyou well, and the results can be imagined.
Therefore, Yang Fan also did his best. Want to find these two Turkic spies. Especially once the two spies are caught, they will be promoted to brigade commander, this temptation is also of great significance to Yang Fan.
He stood in the streets. He pondered bitterly: "Where can these two spies escape?" β

In a grain cellar in Cangcheng, Duoduo carried a lantern in front of Chun Niu'er, sweating with anxiety, and said with a crying voice: "Madam, how are you?" What can I do? β
Chun Niu'er was lying on the ground, her forehead and cheeks were covered with beads of sweat the size of soybeans, she stroked her high bulging belly, and said bitterly: "I can't do it anymore." I'm afraid I'm going to give birth. β
This warehouse city is located in the northeast corner of the imperial city, is the large granary of Luoyang, the warehouse city is divided into two parts: grain cellar area and management area. They were in an underground grain cellar in the granary area at the moment. The grain cellars here are vertical and horizontal, arranged in an orderly manner, each grain cellar is an inverted trapezoid, the mouth is large and the bottom is small, and the walls are smooth. After baking, it has a hard texture and is covered with wooden planks at the bottom, at a certain distance from the ground to prevent moisture.
The granary where they were located was empty, because of the frequent wars in the Western Regions, and the drought and flood disasters in several places in need of relief. Large quantities of grain were allocated, so several granaries were empty. It is now the end of spring, and the new grain has not been harvested, and these empty warehouses are idle, and there is not even a guard.
It was by chance that they were able to escape the investigation of the internal guards, and when the internal guards separately investigated their whereabouts, Duoduo hugged and cried with Chun Niu'er, who was grief-stricken when she heard the news of her husband's death, and finally accepted the crying, calmed Chun Niu'er's emotions, and Duoduo wiped away her tears and went outside to buy some food.
At this time, Lan Yiqing, who was in the internal guard, happened to show a waist card to a neighbor to inquire about the news of a woman with the same characteristics as Duoduo, and Duoduo heard it clearly in the food stall next door. When she saw that this woman was wearing an official uniform and a sharp blade at her waist, she felt that something was wrong.
It's a pity that she didn't catch up and continue to investigate, otherwise she would have been detected by Lan Yiqing, and when Lan Yiqing asked, she really didn't expect that the person she was looking for was actually in another store behind her, and by mistake, Duoduo escaped.
Duoduo rushed back to talk to Chun Niu'er, and Chun Niu'er immediately felt in danger. She was originally the daughter of a Turkic family, and she had been with Hei Tooth Chang for a few years, and her experience was far from being comparable to Duoduo, she immediately asked Duoduo to pack up and flee the residence with her, and when Lan Yiqing found out where they lived and rushed to check, the two had already fled.
The master and servant fled in a hurry, because it was evening, and the doors of the shops began to close, and the two felt dangerous when they saw people, so they avoided the edge of the warehouse city in a panic, which was already remote, and because the curfew time was approaching, there were no pedestrians on the street, and then it would be too dazzling to escape to which square, but if they stayed on the street, they would inevitably be discovered by the night watchman.
The two fled all the way along Cangcheng, and found a dangerous wall, and a triangular vertical wall was built diagonally outside, and in desperation, the woman who was about to give birth actually climbed up the wall and hid in Cangcheng. This time, the two of them were safe for the time being, but Chun Niu'er, who was about to give birth, was born prematurely after this toss, and a lot of amniotic fluid was already flowing out of her crotch at this time.
"What to do? What can I do? β
Duoduo, who has no experience in delivering babies, is in a hurry.
She found the lantern from the room of the old soldier guarding the warehouse above the warehouse, and also found a set of shabby military uniforms, thinking that the warehouse was a little cold, and used it to keep Mrs. warm, but she was a daughter-in-law, and this was the only thing she could do.
Unexpectedly, when she got below, she found that her wife was about to give birth, which made her anxious.
Chun Niu'er is a girl who grew up in the grassland tribe, not only gave birth to cows and horses, but also acted as an assistant to the stable woman in the tribe several times because of curiosity when she grew up, and she herself had children. Although she had a miscarriage, she had far more experience in this area than Duoduo, she knew that she had traveled a long distance, and after emotional ups and downs, she had just climbed over the wall and shook her body again, and she was already in labor at this time, but she was not as panicked as Duoduo.
"Duoduo, you...... Go get some water. Boil some hot water. If the child is born, go quickly, and leave me alone. You can't help me much here, go ahead and be careful yourself. β
"Oh!"
Duoduo wiped her tears. looked at Chun Niu'er in a daze, clenched the short knife at her waist, and rushed out.
Chun Niu'er leaned against the wall and looked at her crotch, the amniotic fluid had lubricated the ground, and the pain in her abdomen was unbearable, but the child had no signs of being born, but she was afraid that it was going to be difficult to give birth. She gritted her teeth, tore off a piece of her shirt and bit it into her mouth. The method that the woman in the clan once told the other mothers was short and rapid breathing, enduring the great pain, and straining her waist and abdomen, wanting to give birth to the child.
Her clan was originally Sogdian, and from the time of the Sui Dynasty, the whole clan was integrated into the Turks and incorporated into the rule of the Western Turks. During the Eastern and Western Turkic Civil War. Their tribe suffered a great trauma, and she was separated from her people during the war, and all the way to the Tang people-ruled city of Baishuijian.
It was Blacktooth Tsuneyuki who took her in, gave her a new life, and pampered her. He put an end to her days of displacement. He gave her the man's generous and warm embrace. Although Hei Tooth Changzhi is an old man in his sixties, he is much older than her. But he is an eagle on the grassland, a real hero, galloping on the battlefield and shocking the Western Regions.
The children of the prairie worship the hero the most, she loves her husband, and reveres him even more, and regards him as heaven. If possible, she could not hesitate to sacrifice her life, as long as she could protect him. Now, her husband has been wronged and has died with hatred, she just wants to clear her husband's grievances and avenge her husband, she also wants to give birth to the blood of the two of them for her husband, she must not let this child have an accident.
However, they can't give birth to ......
Chun Niu'er pounded the ground in pain, enduring the tearing pain. Duoduo hadn't returned, and the silent cellar was empty, save for her heavy breathing and the occasional moan. The light lit only three feet in front of her, and darkness was hidden in the distance.
She had a feeling as if she had been abandoned by the whole Shijie, leaving her alone here.
No, not alone, she still has a child, a child connected to her blood, but she obviously felt that the child fell badly, and it should be about to be born, but she was never able to usher in that sudden relaxed feeling and heard the child's cry.
The amniotic fluid and blood were already dripping all over the ground, and she sat in a pool of blood, sweating and tearing, struggling......
Chun Niu'er struggled to sit up and reached for the bottom of her skirt. There was no one to deliver the baby, she had to give birth to the child herself, so that her child would be born safely on this shijie, her husband's death had made her desperate, and the child was now her only hope. She would rather die herself than let something happen to her children.
However, when her trembling hand groped for her lower body, she couldn't help but let out a desperate wail, she felt one of the child's feet, a small foot, had already poked out of the uterus, the child was not born naturally, but in such an environment, her child was not born naturally.
She remembers very well that the Wen Po in the clan said that if the child is born in reverse, the greatest possibility is the death of both mother and child. The most experienced woman has made her mother suffer greatly, and she has exhausted all means to save one of them with a small chance, and she is now alone.
The amniotic fluid is almost gone, and if it continues like this, the baby will definitely be stillborn, and the child will be suffocated.
"Duoduo!"
Chun Niu'er screamed in despair, she was no longer afraid, she was no longer worried that the voice would be heard by anyone, as long as she saw her child, even if it was holding him in her arms, listening to his heartbeat, seeing how he looked, and then letting her die immediately, she was willing.
"Duo Duo ~~~, Duo Duo ~~~, Duo Duo ~~~"
The echo echoed in the empty granary, and Duoduo had not yet returned.
Chun Niu'er's eyes were blurred with tears, she cried, crying in despair, and her fingers suddenly touched the hilt of the knife at her waist......
