"Our son."

When Zhou Zhiruo heard these three words, she was still very happy.

Even though she always goes against Zhao Linger, she still trusts Zhao Linger's character.

When Zhang Wuji becomes emperor in the future, Zhao Linger will not engage in those intrigues with her.

And recently, Zhou Zhiruo has had another worry in her heart.

That is, she and Zhang Wuji have been together for such a long time, but she just can't get pregnant.

At the beginning, Zhou Zhiruo thought that her inability to conceive might be Zhang Wuji's problem.

Because at that time, Zhu'er and Han Zhao were not pregnant, but now it seems that this is completely different.

After all, Zhao Linger was already pregnant with Zhang Wuji's child, while there was still no movement in her own belly.

In fact, as early as half a year ago, Zhou Zhiruo had asked others and found out that if a woman wanted to get pregnant, one time might be enough.

At this moment, Zhou Zhiruo was seriously wondering if there was something wrong with her body.

If I am destined not to be able to conceive, treating Zhao Linger's child as my own would be a good choice.

It is better to have a child who calls you mother than to have no child at all.

…

"Sister, sister, what are you thinking about? You look so serious, have you thought about how to deal with Zhao Min today?"

Zhao Linger's voice suddenly disrupted Zhou Zhiruo's thoughts.

Zhou Zhiruo thought to herself, "Damn it, it's already this time, and I'm still thinking about pregnancy and children."

She said to Zhao Linger, "Sister, I'm so sorry. I suddenly remembered something else just now. The situation is critical now. Can you tell me what you think first?"

Zhao Linger said: "Sister, actually I have already thought about it. Regardless of whether the young master can get the soldiers in Longcheng to break out, we should withdraw our troops."

"We have just occupied the land west of the Yellow River, and our foundation is still unstable."

"Although the geographical location of Longcheng is important, Zhao Min is determined to obtain it. If nothing unexpected happens, Longcheng will fall today."

"And now we have to prepare to retreat to Jinyang. No matter how many people in Longcheng can escape alive, as long as the young master is still alive, we must retreat to Jinyang."

"If sister has no objection, we will have to make preparations on two fronts. First, we will send some troops ahead and set up an ambush on the way back to Jinyang to prevent our troops from being bitten by Zhao Min during the retreat."

"Secondly, we must stay here and resist Zhao Min's attack, and wait for the soldiers who break out of Longcheng. Even if we can't wait for those people, we must wait for the young master to come back."

Zhou Zhiruo nodded: "Sister, what you said makes sense. You come from a wealthy family and have read military books. I agree with your suggestion."

Zhao Linger smiled slightly: "It would be best if sister is willing to accept my suggestion. How about you lead tens of thousands of soldiers to retreat first? My cultivation is higher than yours, so I will stay to resist Zhao Min."

Zhou Zhiruo quickly shook her head: "No, you should be the one to leave. You are pregnant with Zhang Wuji's child now. At this moment, your life is more valuable than mine."

Zhao Linger smiled and said, "Look at what you said, sister. What's the point of talking about expensive or not? Your cultivation is far inferior to Zhao Min's, and Zhang Wuji is not here. It is impossible for me to leave you here alone."

"I don't want to leave, and you don't want to leave either. How about this, let my junior sister take the troops and go first. My junior sister's cultivation is not bad. When she was in Daxing, she recruited tens of thousands of soldiers for Zhang Wuji. She can command those soldiers."

"how".

Zhou Zhiruo nodded: "Let's do as you say. Let's go find Yu Fei now and let him go first."

A moment later, Zhou Zhiruo and Zhao Linger arrived at Yu Fei's tent.

At this moment, Yu Fei was still sleeping soundly with his arms around the quilt.

Her left arm was still wrapped in a thick layer of gauze.

Zhou Zhiruo saw this and felt very distressed.

But just when Zhou Zhiruo wanted to wake her up, she saw Zhao Linger beside her kicking her.

"You little girl, wake up."

Yu Fei quickly opened her eyes, and with a resentful look, she said to Zhao Linger: "Senior Sister, you've gone too far. I've risked my life for you, recruited soldiers for you, but now you're not as good to me as you are to Sister Zhou. You ungrateful woman, I don't want to care about you anymore."

As he spoke, Yu Fei turned his head to the other side.

Zhao Linger said angrily: "You little girl, I am ungrateful. Without me, you would have starved to death more than ten years ago. You can only repay me with your life."

Zhao Linger grabbed Yu Fei's ear and said, "You little bitch, get up."

…

Yu Fei was injured after yesterday's battle. Although the injury was not serious, she also knew the danger here.

She didn't want to leave Zhao Linger. The usual fights and quarrels were just entertainment between them. After more than ten years of sisterhood, they had already shared life and death.

But what could be done? Zhao Linger tried to reason with him, appealed to his emotions, and finally even beat him up.

No matter how reluctant Yu Fei was, he had to obey Zhao Linger's orders.

…

The moment Zhao Linger walked out of her tent, Yang Xiao under Dragon City had also broken through the Yuan army's defense line.

But this line of defense was built at the cost of thousands of lives.

It was already getting light.

Zhang Wuji and Duan Zihao are still entangled with each other.

However, Zhang Wuji was almost reaching his limit at this time.

On the other side, Duan Zihao still couldn't see any flaws.

Every sword he swung was still extremely domineering, like the wind sweeping away the clouds and the waves crashing against the shore.

Zhang Wuji knew that he was about to collapse. If something unexpected happened to him, the entire Ming Cult would be finished.

The Hexi area that was conquered with great effort will also be destroyed in an instant.

After weighing the pros and cons, Zhang Wuji decided not to waste any more time with Duan Zihao.

He just hoped that more soldiers from Longcheng could break out, and also that Zhu'er and Han Zhao must not get into any trouble.
