Chapter 52: Brothers: Twins
The status of the county duchess is different, and giving birth to a child is naturally extraordinary, it has been almost a day and has not been finished, a large group of people are pacing outside, Cang Shuliang looks comfortable, but everyone knows that he is nervous, what has seen the old man Cangshu who took the book, the old man found a lot of excuses to come to Baoqing City a few years ago, Xiao Huli and Xiahou knew what it was for, and chose to pinch their noses and admit the old man's bad excuses.
Meng Yan was unsettled, and kept inhaling and exhaling to relieve his pressure, but it was useless, he refused the kindness of the guards to personally serve tea and pour water for everyone, and stretched out his head to look inside for a while, as long as he heard Cangshu Haoyue's screams, the hand that poured tea would tremble, this was the birth of his first child, in addition to being excited, he was most concerned about whether Cangshu Haoyue could survive it, and giving birth to a child was like walking through a ghost gate.
Zhuo Bailing's brothers also rushed over when they heard about it, Zhuo Bailing's mood these days was not good, Meng Yan's sudden decision caught him a little off guard, he always wanted to meet Meng Yan to talk, but he never saw Meng Yan's face, and in desperation, they all blocked the quartz at the door of the Dadu Governor's Mansion, and the reply they got was still sick, if it wasn't for Cangshu Haoyue giving birth to a child today, he would still not be able to see Meng Yan, but this doesn't look like a sick person, Zhuo Bailing knows that it is particularly inhumane to talk about business at this time, but the attack on Goshawk Ridge is undoubtedly a gamble in this fate.
"Big brother, don't go over, the county prince has his own ideas about doing this." Zhuo Baiqing grabbed Zhuo Bailing, who was about to come forward, and said in a low voice.
Zhuo Bailing looked at his younger brother strangely, since he worshipped Ye Bohuai as a teacher, he has experienced several wars and has grown up, and the two brothers don't see each other much on weekdays, this time Zhuo Baiqing heard that he came to the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion and insisted on keeping up, it seems that this kid has a plan, "No!" I am the deputy envoy of Bai Zejun, and I have to think about the lives of the soldiers! Zhuo Bailing said in a deep voice.
After speaking, Zhuo Bailing wanted to get rid of Zhuo Baiqing's hand, and suddenly found that he couldn't get rid of that pincer-like strength at all, Zhuo Bailing estimated that Zhuo Baiqing had entered the Dizang realm at least on the way to Wumai, and he glared with some joy.
"Big brother, Nie Sima is here, listen to what Nie Sima has to say." Zhuo Baiqing did not let go of Zhuo Bailing.
Nie Huan also came over early, Nie Huan was very happy when he heard about it, Meng Yan had at least a secure future future, he was also surprised by Meng Yan's sudden return to Baoqing City and his sudden decision, and later after combining the intelligence from all walks of life, he knew that Meng Yan did it on purpose, he was bargaining with the lord of the country, and seeing Zhuo Bailing's situation, he should not have figured it out.
"Zhuo Hou is a little safe, the county prince has the truth of the county prince, it's better not to disturb the county prince at this time, what do you think?"
As the Sima of the Governor's Mansion, Nie Huan is a person that most generals in the army do not want to contact, not because he is disgusted, but he has a natural sense of distance from espionage, and Nie Huan happens to be the person in charge of espionage.
"Nie Sima, don't you think there's a problem with the decision of the county prince?"
"Zhuo Hou, the Military Council has passed this decision, I think you still implemented it well, you know that Zhuo's bow is imminent." Nie Huan reminded.
Hearing Zhuo's matter, Zhuo Bailing was unnaturally stunned, since he arrived in Bai Zejun, he almost cut off any information related to Zhuo's family, including Meng Yan, Zhuo's affairs were handed over to Mingjian Division, and when he heard the news of Zhuo's bowing, he still had a sour feeling in his heart.
"Zhuo... Is Jiang Right so fast? Because of Zhong's? Zhuo Bailing asked with a little embarrassment.
"Yes, Zhong, now you should call the king of Dongyang, the king of Dongyang is in charge of the two armies, after Fan Lihu arrived in Jinzhou, the king of Dongyang will not move, Zhuo Hou thinks why?" Nie Huan said meaningfully.
"Could it be to wait for Xiao Yu?"
"Yes, this time Dongyang City and the Qilin Army are indeed a bit excessive, our side is dragging the Gu family to death, what they are doing over there is a lot of wind and water, the Zhuo family has only two choices now, one is to join forces with the Gu family to fight for our lives, and the other is that the Zhuo family bows his head, the meaning of the county prince is actually forcing Gu Yanfeng to talk, take Zhaoling, and attack Goshawk Ridge Gu Yanfeng Won't he be nervous? Can Gu Qufeng still sit still in Lin Cheng? Nie Huan explained that he had this patience not because of how good his personal relationship with Zhuo Bailing was, but because his purpose was to make Zhuo Bailing make a good choice.
Zhuo Bailing fell into contemplation, he is from the Zhuo family, the intrigue in the big family is no less than that of the court, he has always avoided the disputes in the family so he chose to be stationed in Xianghu, and now he is afraid that he will not be able to avoid this dispute He has been branded with Bai Zejun, at this time to withdraw like betraying the master, in fact, he is not optimistic about Meng Yan in his heart, Bai Zejun should be the first in the Chen Dynasty in terms of strength, but the status is far behind, Xiao Yu is the prince of the Chen Dynasty, the dignified county king, and his father-in-law Xiahou Ming is the first person in the Chen Dynasty among the generals, The attitude of the king of Dongyang County is actually obvious, Xiao Yu's strength is incomparable.
"The county prince plans to put aside his personal enmity and trade with the Gu family?" Zhuo Bailing confirmed Meng Yan's thoughts.
"Zhuo Hou, you are a fan of the authorities, the county prince never intended to reconcile with the Gu clan, he did this just to show the strength of Bai Zejun," Suddenly Nie Huan lowered his voice and said cautiously: "If we take Hengyang, what will the Tu Shan clan choose?" What will happen to our Bai Zejun troops in the twelve states of Xingtan? ”
Zhuo Bailing was shocked, and looked at Nie Huan with a surprised face, he never thought that Meng Yan would have this kind of thought, and the Tu Shan clan could only choose Meng Yan in the twelve states of Xingtan, so although there is a gap between the strength of the Bai Zejun and the Qilin Army, it is also the strength of four or six open, and the imperial court will not dare to touch the Bai Zejun easily if it wants to go north, Meng Yan is fighting for the Bai Zejun to fight for the way out.
Zhuo Bailing looked at Nie Huan, turned his head and looked at Zhuo Baiqing with a wicked smile on his face, "Have you all made a decision?" ”
"Big brother, all the middle-level grassroots generals in the Bai Ze Army have already made a decision, there is no other reason, the establishment of the people's situation supervision is not at this point, everyone has already experienced the benefits of the people's situation prison, the officials are dedicated, the soldiers work hard, such a Bai Zejun has never been there since ancient times, now it's up to you, big brother." Zhuo Baiqing looked at Zhuo Bailing with a passionate face, his face was full of splendor and unprecedented confidence.
"Then Ye Shuai...", Zhuo Bailing shook his head helplessly, "Ye Shuai is the iron core of the county prince, and the camp owners are all brought out by the county prince, in fact, my choice can't affect the overall situation, why do you bother?" Zhuo Bailing glared at his younger brother.
"Big brother, the county prince has never asked us to do anything, everything we do now has been discussed, your attitude is very important, your choice is enough to influence the choice of Jiang You after he is attached!" Zhuo Baiqing persuaded.
"The county prince doesn't know? That's what you're sinning! Forcing the palace! Zhuo Bailing scolded angrily, but suppressed his voice.
Nie Huan could see that Zhuo Bailing's heart was moved, "If Zhuo Hou doesn't agree, you can tell the county prince that we are in private connection, or you can secretly tell Chencheng, but the lives of 150,000 brothers will be handed over to Zhuo Hou." "Nie Huan seems to be open, but he is actually a threat to Zhuo Bailing.
"Big brother, you can't hesitate any longer, the relationship between Xiao Yu and the county prince seems to be close, but in fact, the lord deliberately divided the troops to create a distance, and now the relationship is irreversible, Xiao Yu promoted our Bai Zejun's rebel generals to Qingwu and Teng Han, and our Bai Zejun also recovered Ma Tong's old department, do you think it is possible for everyone to sit together and be harmonious?" Zhuo Baiqing's persecution.
Zhuo Bailing was really moved, hesitated for a moment and asked, "Aren't you afraid that the county prince will not agree with your approach?" ”
Nie Huan smiled and said: "Don't worry about this Zhuo Hou, although the county prince has affection, but the 150,000 brothers are more important to him, if you have to go to that day, I will bear all the responsibilities and sins with all the brothers." ”
Zhuo Bailing saw the fanatical expressions on the faces of Nie Huan and Zhuo Baiqing, and sighed, whether it was his embarrassing identity or for the lives of Zhuo Baiqing and a group of brothers, he had only one way, in general, it seemed that the cards did not have much chance to win, but it was not completely without a chance, with Meng Yan's personality and ability, even if it reached an irretrievable situation, he would save the lives of his brothers, after all, whether it was the Zhong family or Xiao Yu, the personal relationship between them would not let Meng Yan die, Meng Yan and Xiao Yu actually look like a team of twins, either killing each other or respecting and loving each other, who knows the future?
"Madame gave birth, the county prince is in a bad mood, I won't go over to disturb it, please ask Nie Sima to tell the county prince that he will leave for Goshawk Ridge at the end of tomorrow!"
Nie Huan smiled, Zhuo Baiqing also smiled, since the moment Meng Yan sent troops to contain the Gu clan a few years ago, these people have been connected in private, just waiting for an opportunity, it just so happened that the annexation of Dongyang City was an opportunity, it just so happened that Meng Yan chose to storm Goshawk Ridge, saving them the trouble of asking for battle, thanks to the news that Quartz sent back in advance, now that Zhuo Bailing has done it, there are only two people left, one is Su Qing and the other is Jin Qian.
Zhuo Bailing just walked away and hurriedly walked over and said, "It's no problem with Command Su, Madame's side has already done it." ”
"Then only Jin Qian is left, this guy is really troublesome, it seems that Ye Shuai has to go out in person." Nie Huan pondered.
"Nie Sima, I think it won't be too troublesome for Jin to order over there, we may think too much, he is a pure person, as long as it doesn't touch Bai Zejun's interests too much, we don't have to force him to choose, and this is what Madam means." Quartz said softly.
"It's me who looks at it, Mrs. Jin Qian's matter is thoughtful, what is the situation of Mrs.? Why hasn't there been any news for so long? Nie Huan saw that the matter had been resolved, and the person was relaxed.
Speaking of this, Quartz shook his head, "I just met Su Commander coming out of it, the situation inside is not good, and Mrs. Wen said that Mrs. is afraid that she is pregnant with twins." ”
"Twins?! Didn't the previous healers see it? Nie Huan was surprised.
"I heard the news from inside that it was another one that was too small, and the doctor didn't see it at all, but the female medical officer brought by Mr. Cangshu came over and saw it." Quartz had a sad face.
"Madame can't be fine!" Nie Huan's heart sank, the whole thing was planned by Madame and Ye Bohuai, they were just vassals, if Madame was wrong, I was afraid that the whole plan would be difficult to advance.
At this moment, a terrible shout was heard in the distance, and the hearts of everyone in the courtyard rose to their throats, and the kettle in Meng Yan's hand had fallen to the ground.
I saw the maids in the inner courtyard hurriedly taking things back and forth, and it didn't take long for another shout to come, this cry was obviously hoarse, Meng Yan's mind was blank, and he wanted to rush in, but the guards around him tried their best to stop him.
At the moment when Meng Yan performed Jiuchen Gong, Su Qing came out of it with a smile, held one in one hand, and congratulated: "Congratulations to the county prince for winning the dragon and phoenix fetus!" ”
Meng Yan didn't have the mind at all at this time, just wanted to rush in to see Cangshu Haoyue, Su Qing stuffed the child to Meng Yan, and said softly: "Don't worry, the lady has a thick foundation, but she is too tired to give birth, and the medical officer is applying needles inside to make the lady fall asleep. ”
Meng Yan slowed down this time, and only then did he have the heart to look at the two children in his arms, the boy was much stronger and had been giggling, while the girl was curled up like a little mouse, with her eyes closed, and there were some tears on her face, it seemed that she was being bullied in her stomach.
Cang Shuliang was really an old man who had experienced great events, rubbed his legs and said, "Congratulations to the virtuous son-in-law for having children!" ”
At this time, everyone in the courtyard reacted, and stepped forward to congratulate them, and after a lively time, Su Qing said: "Jungong, the child is still young, so let me take it inside." After speaking, he glanced at Quartz.
Quartz understood, and immediately said to everyone: "Lords and generals, please come with me, or don't disturb Madame's rest." ”
Seeing this, Meng Yan swept away the gloom in his heart and said loudly: "The Metropolitan Governor's Mansion has held a banquet for three days!" ”
