Chapter 131: Trapped
It's a pity that the sugar cake I originally wanted to eat was not eaten. Because, on the morning of Yang Zhengming's departure, Qin Chu began his first morning sickness.
Mother Yang was a person who came over, and when she saw that she seemed to be about to spit out bile, she smiled and bent her eyebrows, and told Qing'er to invite the doctor to come over.
The pregnancy was confirmed, and this great news seemed to dilute some of the depressed atmosphere at home because of Yang Zhengming's rush to the scene.
"If you go for a while tomorrow night, you will know this great news." Mother Yang said with regret, and helped Qin Chu tuck the quilt corners.
"The husband is just escorting grain and grass, if there is no accident, he should be back soon."
"Hmm". Mother Yang nodded and got up, and told her: "You sleep for a while, my mother will go and make some porridge for you, and I vomited from the morning to now, my stomach must be empty."
Now is not the time to be reckless, Qin Chu obediently closed her eyes, and Mother Yang saw her close her eyes and gently withdrew from the room.
Since Qin Chu was found to be pregnant, she began to vomit day and night. No matter how much I've tried, it didn't work.
The physical torture made her miss Yang Zhengming even more.
On this day, Qin Chu sat by the window and looked at the door a little in good spirits. It has been six or seven days since Yang Zhengming left, and I don't know when he will come back.
Qing'er came in from outside, saw her sitting by the window again, pouted and said, "Girl, how many times has the old lady explained, if it's cold today, you have a body again, you must not be close to the window."
Babbling and talking, Qing'er quickly walked into the inner room and took out a coat for Qin Chu and draped it on her.
"Hasn't my mother come back yet?" Qin Chu gathered his clothes, got up obediently, and sat at the desk.
"When I left, I said that I would go back after learning something, and it was almost two hours since I went, do you want me to go over and have a look?"
Yuan Niang was just the opposite of Qin Chu, after three months, she suddenly began to feel unwell. I don't know what Aunt Wang asked, but people have been much better these days. After Mother Yang heard about it, she hurried over to ask for a prescription.
Qin Chu shook his head: "No need to go, you go and bring me the pillow I asked you to make earlier in the inner room, my waist is a little sore, I will cushion my lower back."
I don't know if it's a lack of calcium or what, my stomach shouldn't get up, Qin Chu began to have backache and leg pain, and those who didn't know thought she was too hypocritical.
After a while, Qing'er took the pillow, Qin Chu took it and put it behind him, and took a book that he hadn't finished reading before.
Just about to open it, I suddenly remembered that I was pregnant, and seeing these feelings and love seemed to be not conducive to prenatal education, I hesitated and put the book back, and picked up a military book that Yang Zhengming had read half on the side.
Thinking about the intrigue, it doesn't seem to be very good, and he puts the book down again with a frown.
"Qing'er, you go to the bookstore and see if there are any books like the Three Character Sutra Hundred Family Names or Three Hundred Tang Poems, buy me two copies and come back." Originally, it was a book for early education enlightenment, so it shouldn't be a problem to come and see these.
As soon as she finished speaking, she suddenly heard a familiar voice coming from the door: "Who wants to see the surname of the three characters of the hundred families?" β
"My lord-" Before Qin Chu could react, Qing'er had already rushed over with an excited face, and when Yang Zhengming approached, he couldn't stand his feet, and met Yang Zhengming's gaze, and the words that he wanted to say swirled on his tongue, turning into another rhetoric.
"You don't know, do you? The girl is happy......"
"Qing'erβ"
It's a pity that Qin Chu didn't have time to stop it, and the words had already been heard clearly by Yang Zhengming.
I saw a person who was still calm in his face, and suddenly his eyes burst into a dazzling light, shining brightly.
Yang Zhengming walked a few steps forward quickly, and when Qin Chu got up and hadn't taken a step, he stepped forward and hugged the person, and asked in a low and pleasant voice: "Is what Qing'er said true?" Do you really have our children? β
is usually so calm and introverted, but his eyes at this moment look like a child full of hope.
When he saw Qin Chu's confirmed nod, he was even more happy, stretched out his arms, picked up Qin Chu, and turned around twice in place.
Before Qin Chu could open his mouth and ask him to put himself down, Yang Mu, who happened to rush back, was so frightened that she couldn't care about the things in her hand, so she hurriedly walked a few steps closer and said hurriedly: "I can't do it, hurry, put people down quickly, what if there is a mistake!" β
Yang Zhengming put the person down according to his words, and his big hand pulled her soft and boneless small palm but was reluctant to let go, his eyes looked at her lower abdomen that had not yet bulged, and his eyes were soft as if he could drip water: "We have children, I want to be a father."
Qin Chu also cooperated and let him look at it, the corners of his mouth raised, and his eyes narrowed into a crooked crescent shape.
"No matter how old she is, she doesn't have any steady, Chu Chu has vomited a lot these days, you must not cause her any discomfort again." Seeing her son come back, although Yang's mother was happy, she couldn't compare to her grandson's status in her mind after all.
Pointing to the few bags of things that had just been thrown on the ground because of a hurry, he walked over and picked them up, and said to Yang Zhengming: "Just when you come back, come and give me a hand."
was really afraid of her son's recklessness, so Mother Yang opened her mouth and called people away.
Although he was reluctant in his heart, Yang Zhengming still followed him out, and when he left, he didn't forget to say to Qin Chu's lips: "Wait for me-"
It was rare to see him have such an exposed side, Qin Chu couldn't help but purse his lips and laugh.
Qin Chu didn't know if the child, who was only a little over a month old, already had telepathy, or if the recipe that Yang's mother asked for really had a miraculous effect. Her morning sickness slowly got better.
When the whole family was not happy for a few days because of the pregnancy, the king of Qin did not obey the emperor's order to negotiate peace, but launched a miraculous feat, and unexpectedly captured two enemy cities in a row.
Although the emperor has a bad heart, his son can take a breath of evil for himself for many years, which greatly relieves his happiness. When the good news reached the court, the emperor even said: "This son has the style of my year, which can be of great use!" β
The prince suddenly panicked. In particular, the king of Qin asked the imperial court to send troops to support again, and the emperor agreed in one bite.
King Qin's intentions are not difficult to understand, the key is that the crown prince does not want his conspiracy to succeed. The more soldiers King Qin has, the more soldiers he has, wouldn't it be easy for him to rebel if he wanted to.
Therefore, the crown prince began to unite his henchmen to play a joint game, and the king of Qin wanted to support his own army, with bad intentions.
Unfortunately, the mother of the princess, who proposed peace before the prince, committed suicide in the palace, and slandered the prince when he left.
The emperor also wanted to take advantage of the victory to pursue, but the prince stopped him more, no matter whether the concubine's death was strange or not, the emperor took the opportunity to cure the prince's crime.
The King of Qin had been fighting with the crown prince for many years, and became the biggest threat to his succession. The prince listened to the meaning of his advisers, so he simply did not do anything, and directly reversed the emperor and became the emperor. It was announced that the emperor had died.
However, the first thing he did when he ascended the throne was to order the King of Qin to cease the war and immediately enter Beijing to resume his life. King Qin is not a fool, he just lacks luck. directly called the illness, and stationed in the nearest city that had just been defeated, and did not move.
In order to prevent future troubles, the crown prince, no, the newly appointed emperor did not hesitate to cooperate with the Yi people inside and outside, and launched a two-sided attack on the king of Qin.
Yiren is not a fool, let the new emperor be a gunman. On the basis of guaranteeing the price of the two cities previously lost, the Yi people not only sent a small part of their troops to engage the King of Qin head-on to attract his attention, but also sent the main army to bypass Wansong Mountain and launch a surprise attack on the military town of Wansongzhen.
There were more than 20,000 garrisons in Wansong Town, and after more than 10,000 people were transferred, even if all the people were soldiers, there were less than 15,000 people. The enemy army numbered 50,000 men.
Wansong Mountain was originally a natural barrier, but now it has been crossed by the Yiren, and only the whole army enters the city, making preparations to defend it to the death, waiting for the rescue of reinforcements.
After Wansong Town, it is an endless black soil plain, and the Yiren iron horse can drive straight in, such as entering the land of no one. Naturally, the imperial court will not sit idly by.
"What can we do, will we be trapped here?"
On the seventh day of the siege by the enemy, the streets began to talk in panic.
"Don't worry, our loss is a great loss for the imperial court, and they will definitely send troops to rescue us no matter what."
More than half of the grain harvested in the autumn was requisitioned and sent to rescue the army led by the King of Qin. There was only a limited amount of food left in the city, and it took about five days for the nearest imperial garrison to come and go. But now, it's been two days of delay.
"These dogs in the imperial court, one by one are more majestic than anyone else on weekdays, but at the critical moment, they have become shrinking turtles, and there is not even a shadow of people running, cowards!" Wang Tong looked at the shouting enemy soldiers under the city wall, and snorted hatefully.
On the day of the siege by the Yiren, Gao Yun got the news and slipped away from the south gate with his concubine. And took the talisman. If it weren't for Yang Zhengming's high prestige in the army on weekdays, I'm afraid that Wansong Town at this moment would have been broken by the enemy's iron cavalry and become an empty city.
"What's the use of saying this at the moment". Yang Zhengming's eyebrows had already been twisted into a Sichuan zigzag, and while carefully observing the movements of the enemy army, he spoke: "Why is there no news of the people I asked you to send out to ask for rescue?" β
Speaking of this, Wang Tong was angry: "At that time, I was afraid that my deeds would be revealed and I was ambushed, so I sent out a total of three groups of people to ask for rescue, and it stands to reason that there should be one who can arrive safely, why haven't I heard that the imperial court has sent troops to support us now?" β
"How long will the food in the city last?" Yang Zhengming looked at the black and neat crowd under the city gate, a trace of imperceptible light flashed in his eyes, and he asked Zhao Bin on the other side.
"I just pulled a batch of grain before, and now there is a lot of grain left in the city, counting the stock of the grain store, if nothing else, it should be no problem for a month, but now that all the soldiers have entered the city, I am afraid that it will last ......for about ten days at most."
