The process of giving birth to a child must be sinful for a woman.

And fortunately, Liu Qingqian has the best medical team in Da Song, plus daily exercise, there was no accident of dystocia.

However, Liu Qingqian's hoarse screams still made Li Kui almost lose his mind. Fortunately, the Liu family also came, the master Liu Baosheng, several brothers-in-law, and even the concubine Liu Qingjing in the palace all sent people.

"Renjie, be calm, it's okay, the fifth sister Jiren has her own natural appearance, and she doesn't need your help."

"I'll just go to the delivery room and help her!"

"Believe your second brother-in-law, you can't help."

"What if it helps?"

……

Liu Baosheng was sweating on his forehead, on the one hand, he was in a hurry, his daughter's first birth, it was bound to be dangerous. On the one hand, he was dizzy by Li Kui, and yelled at the second and third children: "Hold him down for me, don't let him make trouble." ”

"Father-in-law, we can't hold it down at all!"

"Lin Chong, go up and help."

Lin Chong swallowed his saliva, facing his uncle, he was a little cowardly. But the strange thing is that there is still a little bit of joy in my heart, which seems to be the joy of revenge. But he doesn't know what kind of enmity he has with Li Kui?

Wow...... Wow......

Who would have thought that a group of men in the yard were even more tired than Liu Qingqian, who gave birth in the delivery room. When the child's cry came, the second brother-in-law Cheng Zhijie was lying on the ground, his whole body soaked with sweat, panting, and unwilling to move. Han Dahu is in the same situation. Lin Chong wanted to run, but he didn't dare to look at Li Kui with dodging eyes, for fear of encountering Li Kui's soul-like tortured gaze.

"Congratulations to the master, congratulations to the master, it's a daughter."

The female official in the palace came out of the delivery room and congratulated Li Kui and Liu Baosheng.

Li Kui smiled happily and waved happily: "Reward a hundred taels of gold." ”

"Thank you for the reward of the great officials!"

When the female official heard this, she was so happy that she almost threw herself into Li Kui's arms. One hundred taels of gold, that's more than a thousand, which is more than a reward than giving birth to a concubine in the palace. This stroke is more heroic than the emperor. Of course, the female official is also the best stable woman who serves the concubines in the palace. She can come, and it is also Liu Qingjing's relationship. It's the older sister who takes care of the younger sister.

"Little Five, go to the money bank to pull ten carts of money, and scatter wealth to passers-by."

"Everyone, wait, big reward."

After Li Kui finished speaking, he was about to run to the delivery room again. It's just that he was still driven out by a dry woman, and his mother-in-law even said angrily to Li Kui with a tiger face: "The delivery room is not clean, what are you trespassing?" ”

"Qingqian is okay, I'll go see her." Li Kui smiled and said to his mother-in-law: "By the way, take a look at the child." ”

"Xiao Wu is fine, you have this heart, I am happy for my little five. It's not like someone who has no conscience, and when he gives birth to a daughter, he throws his face as if he owes him. ”

The mother-in-law may have thought of something sad, and looked at Liu Baosheng with a bad gaze. And Liu Baosheng was poked in the backbone by his wife on this happy day, and he was suddenly unhappy. said with a calm face: "What nonsense, when I was the boss, I was also so happy as a human master, how do I know ......?"

Liu Baosheng didn't say it, but the meaning was very simple, he was really happy that his first daughter was born. the second, forced smile; The third begins to worry, and the fourth is fear...... In the fifth, hope was completely cut off.

This mental journey is too cruel, he is afraid that if he talks too much, tears will fall.

But the mother-in-law, Mrs. Han, was not angry at all, and said coldly: "The seeds are not good, you can't blame the ground for not being fattened, right?" ”

The two of them were about to make a fuss, and they were persuaded by their daughter to rush home. After all, Liu Qingqian has successfully given birth to a daughter, the mother and daughter are safe, and they have no worries. On the contrary, in a blink of an eye, Li Kui was gone.

It turned out that Li Kui turned around and entered the delivery room.

There was still a strange smell in the air, Li Kui didn't care, ran to the edge of the bed and looked at Liu Qingqian who was tired of closing his eyes and gasping, and said distressedly: "Madame has worked hard." ”

Liu Qingqian felt someone rubbing her forehead, opened her eyes slightly, and the moment she saw Li Kui, she was startled: "What are you doing when you come in, get out quickly!" ”

"I'm coming to see the kids."

Liu Qingqian was reluctant to let Li Kui see her embarrassing scene, especially in the delivery room, even more so, when the woman gave birth, she was filthy, and she was afraid that her husband would not be able to get over it when she saw it. But Li Kui didn't care, and craned his neck to look around.

After looking around, but there was no trace of my daughter, I said, "Where is my little padded jacket?" ”

"Where's the kid?" Li Kui asked.

Liu Qingqian also knew Li Kui's character, and he couldn't get rid of it, so he had to head down and say, next to me.

"Where?"

"It's on the left-hand side."

"Blind—"

Li Kui really saw a little mouse, but he was startled, he had seen the corner before, and thought it was a shadow, but he didn't expect it to be his own little padded jacket and him hiding from the cat. With an old father's smile on his face, he said in his heart, "This should be biological, and I didn't run away." ”

Liu Qingqian struggled to stand up and said, "Help me up, I'll take a look at the child." ”

When Liu Qingqian saw the child in his arms, his pale face suddenly turned a little whiter, and he said with disgust: "Why is it so dark?" ”

I said that my child was black, even if it was okay, my wife also said, can this child still live a good life? Li Kui was unhappy and complained: "How can you say that your own child is black? ”

Liu Qingqian raised her eyebrows and said, "Is it possible to say that it is white?" ”

"It should be said that it is not so white, and besides, it may turn white after a few days." Li Kui didn't have much confidence in his words, but he still insisted on putting gold on his daughter's face.

Liu Qingqian said sadly: "If you become like this, how can you marry in the future?" ”

Li Kui is not easy to answer this question. Even if he is very dark, but in terms of choosing women, he doesn't like to be as black as him. If he is really told by Liu Qingqian's crow's mouth, his daughter will not be able to handle it in the future. But Li Kui is also a person who has a way, and said: "It's okay, it's a big deal, I will work hard and prepare a dowry for her that no one in the world can refuse." ”

Liu Qingqian rolled her eyes, hugged her daughter and complained: "Baby girl, your father has money!" ”

The daughter of the Li family, who was born and may become unsalable, looked at Li Kui with a smile, and grabbed Li Kui's index finger with her little hand and refused to let go. Father, father and daughter have the same heart at this moment, even if there is an iceberg in Li Kui's heart, it has been melted.

Liu Qingqian asked Li Kui: "Have you thought of a name?" ”

"The daughter of the Li family must take a mighty name. It's called Li Dahu, right? Listening to the uplift, it is also loud, and it is destined not to be bullied in this life. The nickname is Tiger Girl, which is easy to feed. The more Li Kui said, the more reasonable he felt, he read a lot and had fame. But these are not very concerned about choosing a name, not that it is completely useless, but Li Kui does not need to have too many expectations for his children.

In this way, it is much easier to choose a name.

But Liu Qingqian was not happy, she disliked Li Kui's name and did not choose it well. After all, it's the meat that fell from his body, and a good girl is called Dahu, isn't this bullying? Even if you don't like it anymore, you can't do it, right? Immediately dissatisfied: "It's obviously a girl, what is the name of the big tiger, and the tiger girl." The third brother-in-law is also called Dahu, how can your daughter be called by this name? No, change it and think about it. And the tiger girl is not good. ”

Li Kui muttered, "What's this?" My nickname is still Iron Bull? My brother's nickname is Stone Dog. Listen to me, the name is cheaper, so that it can be fed. ”

"No way!" Liu Qingqian can rely on Li Kui for others, but her daughter's name is this, and she must not agree.

Li Kui felt that it was unwise to quarrel with the mother, so he had to back down and said: "Either you choose a name, as long as the surname is Li." ”

Li Kui also wanted to accompany his daughter's wife, but was kicked out by Liu Qingqian, and after Li Kui left, Liu Qingqian hugged his daughter and became sad: "Your father is unhappy, if your two aunts give birth to a son, you will have a sad life in the future." ”

Liu Qingqian thought wildly, she seemed to take it for granted that Li Kui was disgusted because she gave birth to a daughter. But in fact, Li Kui didn't have this idea.

It's just that Liu Qingqian is too careful.

But the mother is easy to drill the horns, and Li Kui can't explain it clearly when he thinks about it, so he can only wait to see his performance in the future.

Within half a month, the Li family came to happy events one after another.

Zhang Zhenniang and Nie Cuicui also gave birth one after another.

Li Kui was happy to get another 2,000 gold.

On this day, Liu Baosheng came to his son-in-law's house worriedly. also took the palace head to give him royal wine, and wanted to pull Li Kui to drink wine to help his son-in-law open his heart. gave birth to three daughters in one go, Liu Baosheng felt that his son-in-law Li Kui was on the verge of collapse and needed to come over to enlighten him.

And that's what he is.

Liu Baosheng remembered that he had heard Wen Po's voice five times in a row: "Congratulations to the master, you are a daughter, and the mother and daughter are safe." "At that moment, the despair that swirled around the world hit like a tsunami.

Weng and his son-in-law drank, and after Li Kui poured Liu Baosheng a full cup of wine, Liu Baosheng sighed: "Renjie, don't worry, my son will have it in the future." ”

He was afraid that his son-in-law would follow his old path and waste half a lifetime. Only then did he accompany his son-in-law to be relieved, but Li Kui's words made people angry, he heard the meaning of Liu Baosheng's words, and said with a smile: "Father-in-law, you don't have to persuade me, my daughter is very good." It is said that my daughter is my father's little padded jacket, and I will not be depressed because I have more daughters. ”

"Besides, I'm still young." Li Kui said smoothly.

Liu Baosheng sighed: "Renjie, you can think like this, the old man is very relieved. ”

Li Kui said with a smile: "Father-in-law is too careful, besides, just give birth to a few more, there will always be a son." If I give birth to twenty, I don't believe that I can't give birth to sons. ”

"Twenty ......"

Liu Baosheng was originally a little drunk, but he woke up suddenly, Li Kui had to give birth to twenty children, and he had to die of his daughter. But then it occurred to me that something was wrong. The main reason is that Liu Qingqian may not be able to handle the important task of giving birth to twenty children, and he must have sisters to help.

His baby daughter did not forbid Li Kui to take a concubine, and it seems that it is not difficult to have twenty children.

It's hard to get old and have a child, and the house is restless after the lack of trouble. Compared with his son-in-law, he is really bad. He was stupid to relieve his son-in-law, and it was not Li Kui who needed to be comforted, but his father-in-law.

Thinking of this, Liu Baosheng lost his interest in drinking, and after glancing at his granddaughter, he left with a long sigh.

Li Kui can somehow guess the reasons why his mother-in-law did not allow his father-in-law to take a concubine. are all daughters, if the concubine really comes and gives birth to a son to the Liu family, how will she and her daughters live in the future. In case the dove occupies the magpie's nest and lets the lowly concubine ride on the head, this is unbearable.

However, Li Kui's idle days have come to an end.

After Zhang Kai led a large army out of Tiandu Mountain, the war between the Great Song Dynasty and Western Xia had begun.

And Li Kui also received the holy decree and led the Praetorian Guard to set off from the capital and march towards Daizhou, the northernmost part of Hedong Road.

Along the way, the Praetorian Guards had to endure the fatigue of the march. I also had to go through Li Kui's sudden training orders from time to time. Hurriedly marched, sorted out the formation, and lined up the troops on the battlefield, but fortunately, Li Kui did not dare to make a big effort, and there were not many attritions during the march.

Before you know it, half a month has passed since the war.

The Great Song Dynasty had the idea of fighting the time difference with the Liao State, and at the beginning of the war, the Song army showed the bearing of giving up on others and wanted to take the Western Xia as soon as possible.

Since the Great Song Dynasty rejected the threat of the Liao State, the Liao State has not been without any action. Yelu Hongji, the emperor of Liao, was determined to give the Song people a little power.

It can be said that this war is more dangerous than the war prepared by Shenzong and Wang Anshi twenty years ago. But the Great Song Dynasty had to fight, and since the signing of the treaty, the Western Xia has tried its courage and restored its national strength. Once the Western Xia is given ten years, it will be even more difficult for the Great Song Dynasty to destroy the Western Xia. Because of this, this war in the Great Song Dynasty must be fought, and it must be fought early.

The sooner the war is waged, the more hopeful it is that Western Xia will be taken down.

At the same time, because the negotiations between the Great Song Dynasty and the Liao State broke down, the Great Song Dynasty also had to face a possible war with the Liao State.

It is precisely because of the pressure from two sides that Emperor Zhao Xu is more tormented than his father. Now I don't know how many troops the Liao State has gone south?

100,000, 200,000, or 300,000?

It seems that there are a lot of forbidden troops of the Great Song Dynasty around Zhending Mansion and Hejian Mansion, but whether they can hold these two cities is unknown.

Li Kui did not reinforce Zhending Mansion, but went to Daizhou.

One of the most elite armies of the Great Song Dynasty went to Daizhou, which was the least likely to be attacked by the Liao army. The Great Song wanted to make the Liao army worry about the defense of the flanks.

This is clearly a sword off-the-beaten-edge.

There is no way to do it.

The main reason is that the Great Song Dynasty has not been able to send enough troops to support the northern front. Only by waiting for Zhang Kai's great victory in the northwest can he draw troops to pose a sufficient threat to the Liao army.

After all, relying on Li Kui's more than 10,000 people, even if Zhang Dian is very optimistic about Li Kui, he is not confident enough.

Especially the Song army against the Shang Liao army, at the level of generals, the Liao army completely occupied a psychological advantage. This is tantamount to saying that the Great Song Dynasty launched a war against the Liao State and the Western Xia under absolutely unfavorable circumstances.

Half a month has passed.

Five days ago, Li Kui led the army through Xinzhou and out of the Taiyuan portal.

These days he has been marching in the valley, and the soldiers are fine, but as the commander, he has become irritated for no reason.

Thankfully, Daishu has finally arrived.

The scout came back quickly and reported: "Yu Dashuai, the front is Pingxingling, and the Liao army has not been found. ”

"What about the Forbidden Army?"

"Retreat to the county seat, I heard that it was an order from the Privy Council."

The Liao army was not found, but the forbidden army stationed here was not found, Li Kui finally knew the reason for his irritability, once Pingxingling was lost, it was possible for the Liao army to leave Taiyuan.

Li Kui rode on his horse and said angrily: "It doesn't matter whose order it is, giving up the pass and conniving at the enemy army will be a crime of one more degree." Someone, the guards will arrest me......"
