"Under normal circumstances, troops should be transferred from the vicinity of Guangye City, where Muyang is stationed."

After all, they live nearby, so it will be faster for them to get there.

But the situation is urgent now, and Mu Yang is my cousin. I don't want anything to happen to him, so I plan to send a few people from the capital to help gather troops to defend Guangye City and rescue Mu Yang.

It would be best if this person used Ning Bao's flying talisman to get there. It definitely has to be someone on our side. I plan to have the Prince of Zhenbei and your senior brother go together.

Your senior brother is a skilled doctor; you can feel more at ease if he goes.

Zhao Junyue thought that sending two people that Ning Bao trusted and who were capable would put Ning Bao at ease, and that way she wouldn't have the idea of ​​going herself.

"Your Majesty, I want to go with you."

However, Ningbao did not understand the Emperor's good intentions.

Zhao Junyue looked at her enormous belly with a troubled expression.

"no!

You're carrying twins; the imperial physician said you could give birth at any moment.

"It's not a good time for you to travel. With the Prince and your senior brother going, they'll definitely be able to bring Mu Yang back."

Ning Bao shook her head seriously.

“Your Majesty, if Brother Muyang is afflicted by a Gu poison rather than being injured or ill, then even my eldest brother would be powerless to help him.”

I've seen Gu worms before, and I've learned about them. But I might not be able to cure them...

Seeing Ning Bao's insistence, Zhao Junyue had no choice but to agree to let Ning Bao go with him.

Zhao Junyue originally wanted to send a midwife who knew how to give birth to accompany Ning Bao, but Ning Bao shook her head and refused outright..................

"The Emperor doesn't use midwives. Ever since he found out I was pregnant with twins, my eldest brother taught one of my maids some basic medical skills and how to deliver babies."

That girl is quite quick to learn; she became very proficient after only a few months of study. These days, she has been taking care of new mothers at the Bai family's medical clinic.

I've also helped with deliveries a few times. This trip isn't suitable for bringing too many people. With my senior brother and my daughter along, even if I give birth outside, we'll have enough people..."

At Ning Bao's insistence, in the end, only Zhou Chengxing, Bai Ming, and Leng Bing and Leng Shuang by her side went to Guangye City.

The midwife Ningbao mentioned earlier was Leng Bing.

Ning Bao and his group definitely went in secret, and as for the large number of reinforcements, some of them would definitely be transferred from the garrison near Guangye City.

When Ning Bao returned to the mansion with the imperial edict, Zhou Chengxing and Bai Ming were both there.

Zhou Chengxing was summoned back by Su Jingshu, while Bai Ming was found by Ning Bao when she went to the palace.

Now that they knew the specifics, they didn't hesitate when they saw the imperial edict in Ning Bao's hand. They immediately packed their things and prepared to set off.

Bai Ming hurriedly went home to tell his wife and children.

Everyone at the General's Mansion is worried about Ningbao.

"Ningbao, your belly is so big, using a flying talisman is definitely not an option, it's too dangerous."

"Yes, if Ningbao can't do it, have your dad carry you on his back. At least he can shield you from the wind."

Ning Bao shook her head.

"No need, I'm too pregnant to carry you. Have you forgotten about Lingling?"

Everyone looked at Lingling, who was only the size of a fist, lying next to Ningbao.

Everyone else's cats grow bigger and bigger, but Ningbao's cat keeps getting smaller.

It's so small now that it's practically invisible.

So much so that everyone forgot how Ningbao used to ride Lingling around happily on the road during the famine.

Ning Bao lightly patted Lingling's forehead.

"Stop pretending to be asleep, I know you're awake. Get up and get to work."

Lingling glanced helplessly at Ningbao, then very sensibly enlarged herself.

They only stopped when they grew to the size of a calf.

Ningbao gained a lot of weight after becoming pregnant, and with her huge belly, Lingling, who was too small, simply couldn't move Ningbao.

Everyone was shocked to see Lingling grow so big. Ningbao walked up to Lingling, and Lingling wisely bent her front legs, making herself shorter.

With Leng Bing and Leng Shuang's support, Ning Bao sat steadily on Ling Ling's back.

Since everyone was in a hurry to get somewhere, they didn't delay. They filled their storage talismans with enough food and soup before using invisibility and flight talismans to fly towards Guangye City.

Before leaving, Ningbao made sure to pack the things she would need for childbirth, as well as the clothes and diapers she had prepared for her unborn child.

......................

Leaving the capital, everyone headed west. Guangye City was located in the southwest of Longyuan Kingdom, a desolate place with a damp climate and many snakes, insects, and rodents.

The surrounding area consists of small, uncivilized countries and some tribes scattered in the mountains.

Shen Muyang, who was stationed there, was constantly harassed by the surrounding small countries and tribes.

Ning Bao and his group flew southwest, and the further southwest they went, the hotter it became. Although they used flying talismans, the distance was too far, and they traveled without sleep, finally arriving at noon on the third day.

.........................

Because the situation in Guangye City was unclear, they did not show up when they arrived there.

"The city gates are closed in broad daylight. It seems that the situation in Guangye City is not good." Bai Ming frowned as he looked at the tightly closed city gates.
