Chapter 13: Undercurrents
The will of the king must be obeyed, and even though we have not been camped here for long, we must set out at once for the giant deer.
Yu Ji was pregnant with a child, and she always needed someone to take care of her, so Yu Ji and I were arranged in the same carriage.
"You're pregnant, and the young master is going to fight again, so you'd better find a secluded place to raise your baby in peace." I advised her, "It's hard and bumpy, don't make any forks."
"Out of the way, I'm not going to let this kid get into trouble." Yu Ji stroked her slightly bulging lower abdomen, and said softly: "Besides, this is my husband and my child's child, how can I not bear these hardships."
"He's still in his mother's womb, how can you expect him to be as strong as his father." I couldn't cry or laugh: "This woman is very particular about pregnancy, I was in Xianyang Palace before, and I saw that many concubines lost children because they didn't know how to raise a baby.
"Speaking of Shangxin...... Yu Ji paused, and muttered: "I'm afraid you don't know about this matter yet.His Royal Highness King Huai once agreed with the generals to 'break Qin first and enter Xianyang', and agreed to let Liu Bang collect the rest of his uncle and Chen Sheng's troops and go west to attack Qin."
"What" I was shocked: "Wouldn't this make that Liu Bang take all the benefits?"
"Indeed, so the husband is very dissatisfied with this, not to mention whether Liu Bang has the ability to attack Xianyang, and it will take a lot of time for the husband to save Zhao this time. Yu Ji's face was slightly cold: "I can see that Liu Bang is not a person who is willing to submit to others, and he will definitely meet his husband in the future.......
"Don't think about it so much." I stopped her and said with a smile: "Even if you meet in battle, with the power of the young master, victory is not a problem, you are now his virtuous helper, but you must give birth to a healthy fat boy for him."
Yu Ji looked down at her bulging belly, and her eyes were gentle: "Yes."
However, things are not as simple as we think.
The days of the march are always difficult.Yu Ji's discomfort reaction is getting more and more.I am in a hurry.I just let the military doctor sit in a carriage with us.The military doctor is the old gentleman who treated Changxi's injuries that day.His surname is Li Minghui.He has been with the army for three years.After hearing that I want him to take the carriage.He was unwilling at first.Then he saw that Yu Ji was really uncomfortable.So he agreed.
"If you want me to say, madam, you better find a secluded place in the middle of the house to have a good baby, and if you continue to bump like this every day, your body will definitely not be able to bear it." Dr. Li finished his pulse for Yu Ji, frowning and said, "Your pulse is vain, I'm afraid I haven't had any appetite these days, plus I haven't slept well after days of bumps, I'm afraid I'm very tired."
"It's okay, it's not as bad as you say." Yu Ji smiled reluctantly: "Don't tell your husband about this, he is already entangled in everything now, don't worry about him anymore."
"Since you're afraid that he's worried, why don't you find a place to raise your baby in peace." Doctor Li said helplessly: "If something happens like this, it will only make the young master more worried."
Yu Ji lowered her eyes, just stroked her stomach and didn't speak.Dr. Li shook her head when she saw her expression of loss.Lowered his head to read the book and stopped talking.I saw that the two of them were silent.So I took the blanket and covered Yu Ji.Said to myself: "The weather is getting colder......
I don't remember how many days the march lasted.In short, before I was about to lose it.The team finally arrived at Anyang.Song Yi led the team to Anyang.Song Yi led the team to Anyang.It was just a matter of standing still.But this stay was forty-six days.
Forty-six days is too long for a war.This period of time is enough time to capture the city or turn defeat into victory.Zhao is still in dire straits under the siege of Zhang Han.Xiang Yu has also been in a hurry to attack the Qin army.To avenge his fallen uncle Xiang Liang.But even so.Song Yi's decision has not changed.
In the evening, I came to the long camp by moonlight, and the little soldier saw that it was me, and without telling me, he opened the curtain for me.
"You're here." Changxi closed the bamboo slip in his hand and smiled at me, and his always handsome and shiny face was actually a little tired.
"You've lost weight." I sat down next to him, stroked his much-emagerized cheek, and sighed, "How long will this be the case, even if it's a battlefield of fighting and killing, it's better than the abrasive situation now."
"Don't worry, it's going to be over soon." He comforted me, looked down and kissed me on the forehead, and buried his face in my neck.
"Why do you say that?" I could hear something in his words, and I reached out to comb his long hair that was scattered on his back, and asked, "Is something going to happen?"
"Even if something happens, it's Song Yi's own fault." Changxi drilled into my neck socket, and his voice sounded tired: "The young master sees that the situation is urgent now, and has urged Song Yi to send troops more than once, but Song Yi did not listen, saying that he was waiting for the Zhao army to consume the strength of the Qin State. Not only that, but that guy actually ridiculed the young master for his courage and lack of strategy, and also passed down an order to ridicule the young master, saying that all those who are fierce, disobedient, and greedy for merit and do not obey orders will be killed."
"This Song Yi is so rampant," I was shocked. Isn't this digging your own grave?"
"It is indeed a self-digging grave, and the young master has been thoroughly enraged by him." He hugged me and fell on the felt, kissed me gently on my neck, and pressed my lips to my skin, warm and itchy, and I couldn't help but chuckle a few times.
"What about you?" I hugged his face, stared at his dark eyes, and said, "What have you been busy with these days?
Changxi let out a long sigh and said helplessly: "Naturally, I was ridiculed by Song Yi's subordinates...... In short, it's an insult that you can't think of, there's nothing they can't say."
"It's all about your skin." I pinched his smooth cheek and smiled, "Those country men must be jealous of your rare good looks.
He was amused by me, too, and kissed me on the lips, and said softly, "Don't go back tonight, stay here with me."
"Sister Keyu's ......"
"I'll leave it to the maids over there." He hugged me into his arms, and his voice was quite dissatisfied: "You accompany the young master's wife every day, how long has it been since you come to me, I will definitely complain to the young master when I turn around, and let him give me a raise in salary."
I laughed, too, "That's good, by the way, I'll keep some for me."
That night I slept in the tent with my arms, and everything seemed calm and serene, but it was all an illusion, and after dawn, everything would be different.
