Chapter 1: Twins
The winter snow is flying all over the sky, falling in a chic manner, whitening the courtyard and whitening the entire Chengdu city.
"Ahh
In the dimly lit courtyard, the heart-rending cries of women shattered the silence of the city.
A man dressed in a plain white robe with flowing hair stood in the courtyard corridor, only to see him slowly stretch out his palm.
The man's surname is Zong, and his name is Wei. At the age of fifteen, he traveled to the Western countries by himself, and only returned to Middle-earth two years ago. The woman shouting in the house is his insider, named Tu Yiling, who is in labor and waiting to give birth.
The snowflakes fell one by one in his palm, and the man did not feel cold at all, but his expression was slightly anxious.
"Wow"
After a while, there was a crisp cry of a baby in the room.
At the same time, a golden light shot out from the room, reaching the sky, and a light suddenly appeared in the dark sky of Chengdu at night, and the snowflakes were like falling fireworks under the golden light.
A moment of wonder attracted thousands of families in Chengdu to sigh in the air.
Zong Wei quickly closed his palms, grabbed the snowflakes in his hands, and waited to enter the house to take a look.
"Ah, freak!"
Suddenly, there was an exclamation from Wen Po in the house.
Zong Wei hurriedly pushed open the door and walked straight to the edge of the bed where the woman Tu Yiling was lying.
Wen Po looked panicked, holding a swaddling cloth in her hand, and a loud cry of a baby came from inside.
Zong Wei took the swaddling clothes from Wen Po's hand, opened it and looked at it, and was shocked.
"How so?"
Wen Po was timid, and after Zong Wei took the swaddling clothes, she quickly disappeared without a trace.
"Ahh
Tu Yiling shouted again.
Zong Wei hurriedly put down the child in his hand and came to Tu Yiling's side.
"Ling'er, what do you think?" asked Zong Wei eagerly.
"I'm afraid yes, there's another one. Tu Yiling took a breath and said with difficulty.
"Stable woman, stable woman. Zong Wei subconsciously screamed twice.
Looking around, Fang knew that Wen Po had already been scared away.
Zong Wei looked at Tu Yiling in front of him, only to see that her face was bloodless, beads of sweat soaked the fine hair on her forehead, and her eyes were full of pleading.
Zong Wei couldn't hold it anymore and held Tu Yiling's hand tightly.
"Ling'er, I'll deliver the baby for you, and you do as I say. ”
Tu Yiling looked at Zong Wei, as if she had doubts, and now she was helpless, so she had to blink slightly.
When Zong Wei traveled to Western countries, he also learned the art of Qihuang, and also delivered a woman for a day, but because of Tu Yiling, this matter was never mentioned, so the matter of giving birth was also handy.
Half an hour passed.
"Wow"
Another baby crying could be heard in the room.
Tu Yiling was too weak, and the child fell asleep as soon as she was born.
Zong Wei picked up Tu Yiling's hand, checked the pulse, and after making sure that there was no major problem, he breathed a long sigh of relief.
Then he picked up the newborn baby again, and his expression was gloomy.
It turned out that the bodies and arms of the two children were covered with scales, which were yellow with black and dark yellow.
When Zong Wei saw this, he felt a lot of feelings in his heart for a while.
The two crying babies gradually quieted down, Zong Wei took some ginseng and went to the kitchen to boil ginseng soup.
After an hour, Zong Wei brought the boiled ginseng soup into the house, and the ginseng soup in the bowl was steaming.
Tu Yiling had already woken up, and the first thing she said when she saw Zong Wei coming in was "Wei Lang, let me see our children." ”
"Ling'er, you have just lost too much blood and your body is too weak, so let's drink some ginseng soup to warm up your body first. ”
"No, I'm going to see the kids first. Tu Yiling said stubbornly, thinking that she heard Wen Po's scream, and she was quite uneasy.
Seeing Tu Yiling's firm attitude, Zong Wei looked worried, and after thinking twice, he hugged the two children to Tu Yiling.
"Is it a son or a daughter?" Tu Yiling asked weakly.
"Both are sons. Zong Wei replied lightly, there was no joy on his face, but a trace of worry.
Tu Yiling looked at the two children in the swaddling clothes, feeling that there was nothing unusual, she slowly reached out and stroked the face of the child leaning forward, with a happy face.
"Wei Lang has thought of the child's name?" Tu Yiling asked,
"The big one is called Zong Zhen, and the small one is called Zong Zheng! What does Ling'er think?" Zong Wei said lightly.
"Neither false nor false is true, not evil or evil is true, life in the world, but seek truth and live. That's a great name!" commented Ling'er.
Zong Wei looked at Ling'er, who didn't know the truth in front of him, with a happy face, and couldn't bear to tell the truth, but he knew in his heart that this matter could not be hidden.
After seeing and seeing, Zong Wei took the two babies away and brought the ginseng soup over.
"While it's still hot, you finish the ginseng soup first, I have something to say to you. Zong Wei said, a trace of sadness flashing in his eyes.
Zong Wei picked up the soup spoon in the bowl and fed the ginseng soup to Tu Yiling one bite at a time, and when Yiling finished drinking the ginseng soup, Zong Wei took out a white handkerchief and gently wiped Yiling's thin white lips.
"Ling'er, our children may be different from ordinary children. Zong Wei paused and frowned.
"What's wrong?" Tu Yiling looked at Zong Wei, very concerned in her heart.
Zong Wei slowly told the truth.
As the mother of the child, Yiling was naturally very uncomfortable after hearing this, and two lines of hot tears gently slipped down the tips of her eyes.
When she returned to her residence, she spread the news of the strange things that had happened on the day of the delivery, and everyone suddenly realized, "It turns out that the golden light on that night is like this." ”
For a while, everyone's statement about the child spread loudly, or that the child was the son of auspiciousness, or that the child was reincarnated as a demon, which was a bad omen.
Strange things always arouse curiosity, although the Ping'an House where Zong Wei lives is relatively remote, but in two or three days, many people gather outside the door to find out.
Tu Yiling needed to recuperate, and she couldn't walk freely for a while, so Zong Wei had to close the door of the courtyard.
After all, the noise still aroused Tu Yiling's curiosity, and Zong Wei informed Wen Po of the fact that after giving birth, the news of the child was widely spread to attract curious people.
"Children are always our flesh and blood, and some things can be hidden for a while, but not for a lifetime!" Tu Yiling only replied lightly to this matter, and then ignored the noise outside.
Zong Wei felt more and more bad about this matter, he was always uneasy in his heart, and his expression was extremely solemn.
Then he got a hexagram, and the hexagram showed that there would soon be a war in this place. Zong Wei frowned and looked at the two children who were already asleep.
The snow had stopped, and the room was quiet with a cold glow shining on the snow and the snow had stopped.
Gongchang, a hundred miles away, is stationed with 100,000 Mongolian troops on the West Road.
Under the vast night sky, tens of thousands of white tents surrounded a huge circle, and the bonfire outside the tent was bright, and the little bit of glittering light in the middle of the huge circle was the camp tent of the Mongolian Great Khan's Wokotai.
The sound of the lute came from the tent, and the tent cloth was lined with the hazy dancing shadows of the beauties, and the tent was full of singing and laughter.
Directly above the tent sat a fat man with a big head and a round face, a thick beard a little white, and a felt hat on his head.
Wokotai picked up a bottle of wine and said to the people in front of him,
"The war against the Song Dynasty for five years, although many achievements have been made, but the important frontier defense of the Southern Song Dynasty, we still failed to take, in the past two years, the war has been stagnant, as the Great Khan, shouldering the great responsibility of the ancestors, I am very worried!"
"Father Khan does not need to worry too much, sooner or later the Southern Song Dynasty will be included in our Mongolian territory. The man sitting in the first place to the right of the Great Khan replied in high spirits.
This man is strong and powerful, wearing battle armor, and his long black beard is tied with a gold ring, like a hanging dagger, this person is the second son of Ogedai Khan, the commander of the Western Route Army.
"Jingle Bell"
As soon as the words fell, the sound of bells ringing faintly outside the tent was getting closer and closer.
And they all looked at the tent door.
The curtain was lifted, and a strange man entered.
The man had two long pheasant tail feathers on his head, a black and gray gown, two long white stripes symmetrically drawn on his eyelids, a black painted chin, a gold ring around his nose, a pair of silver bells pinned to his waist, and a black feather fan.
This person is the Mongolian national teacher Namaya, who is good at military strategy, understands the art of hexagrams, and is especially good at astrology.
"Namaya went to the Great Khan. Namaya saluted to Ökodai.
"The national teacher is here, what is the matter?"
"The stakes are high, and please report to the Great Khan separately. Namaya said coldly.
Ogedai made a gesture, and the people withdrew from their tables, leaving two people in the tent.
"National teacher, what's the important thing to trouble you to come from Kaiping in person?"
"It's a matter of Mongolia's great cause, how dare you not come in person. Namaya replied.
"What is the matter?" Wokotai couldn't help but feel worried for a moment when he heard that it was a matter of great cause.
"The day before yesterday, the minister watched the sky at night, a star increased sharply in the star field, very flashing, this star is located in Xuanhuang, the meaning of domination, can be said to be rare to see in a thousand years. Namaya replied.
"The words of the national teacher are very unclear, can you explain them in detail. Ogedai asked.
"This star refers to a person, a person who can dominate the universe, this person has the life of the dragon star, and has the dragon scale protection body, who can get this person, get his help, he can dominate the universe, and the grand plan to dominate the industry, can be obtained at the snap of a finger. Namaya waved his feather fan and said with a stern expression.
"Where is this man now?"
"This person has just been born, with dragon scales, within ten days, the stars can determine his position, ten days later, the stars will disappear, only when this son comes of age, the stars will reappear. Therefore, the ministers are non-stop, the starry night is thousands of miles away, this person is now in the city of Chengdu, the opportunity cannot be lost, and it is believed that the Southern Song Dynasty Qin Tianjian will soon be aware of it, and then the lord of the Southern Song Dynasty will take the first step to seize this person, and the trouble will be endless!"
Wokotai realized the seriousness of the matter and thought for a moment.
"The national teacher works hard, rest first, Ben Khan has his own arrangements. ”
And Namaya withdrew.
As soon as Namaya left, Ögedei summoned all the generals of the Western Route Army.
Everyone sat down in the main tent of the council, and all the generals were summoned in the starry night for a while, and the generals inevitably had doubts in their hearts, so some people began to speculate and discuss.
In the midst of the noise, Wokotai walked in from outside the tent wearing battle armor.
All the generals immediately fell silent, stood up and saluted: "Great Khan." ”
Wokotai motioned for the generals to sit down, and everyone sat down together.
Wokotai took off the sword at his waist, drew the sword from the sheath, and pointed the sword upward, looking majestic.
"The generals listened to the order, immediately reorganized the army, 100,000 troops starry night soldiers pointed to Chengdu, after arriving in Chengdu, be sure to besiege the city of Chengdu, the matter is very important, this time, Ben Khan personally commanded and supervised the formation. ”
Wokotai is imposing, the voice is loud, and it has the style of sweating.
"Ordered. As soon as the generals gave the order, they left their barracks to reorganize.
