Chapter 564 Li Xianyu
(Thanks to Chocolate Nina for the 1666 reading coins!)
Qin Fen scratched his head and chuckled, "I'm a rough guy, so naming things... is something you guys have to do!"
Li Shiyue looked at Qin Fen, then at Li Qiutian, and finally at Zheng Meiniang and Li Xiatian.
"You played a part in the child's safe birth in October."
It was you who came in and woke Qiutian up, which allowed the child to be born safely.
You're the child's aunt; it's perfectly reasonable for you to name the child.
Since Zheng Meiniang had said so, Li Shiyue did not refuse any further.
Although she used her body to block Li Wangchun, who was giving birth, and Zheng Meiniang behind her when she fed Li Qiutian the Rejuvenating Pill;
But it was indeed she who fed her the Rejuvenation Pill, which saved Li Qiutian, whose baby was in a breech position, and her child, allowing them to arrive safely.
When it comes to naming the child, Li Shiyue is indeed a capable woman.
When it came to naming her child, Li Shiyue recalled the day she rode back to Jian'an City and saw the sunset that looked like it was burning on the horizon, as well as the faint sound of waves that she could hear all the way after leaving the Xuanjia Army camp.
So, at this moment, Li Shiyue slowly opened his mouth and said to everyone: "In the scorching heat of July, fishing boats sing their evening songs."
Let's call her 'Xianyu'.
"Xianyu? Which two characters are those?" Qin Fen asked Li Shiyue.
"It is the 'envy' in 'standing by the abyss and longing for fish,' and the 'fishing' in 'fishing boats singing at dusk.'"
“Li Xianyu…” Qin Fen pondered the name.
Li Shiyue paused, then turned her head to look at the little baby lying on the small wooden bed next to Li Qiutian's bed. "But we don't 'stand on the edge of the abyss,' we 'enter the sea.'"
She doesn't need to envy others' success. I wish that in the future, she will have her own boat, her own helm, and be able to move freely in this world, taking what she wants and getting what she desires.
After pausing again, Li Shiyue looked at Li Qiutian sitting on the bed: "'Envy' also means longing and yearning."
Fishermen live by the water and rely on the sea for their livelihood. The wise find joy in water, and the benevolent find joy in mountains.
May our Xianyu, like a skilled fisherman, face the storms of life with composure and possess the wisdom to see through the ways of the world.
May she forever cherish her passion and longing for this vast ocean, and may her heart always be filled with admiration and her actions always guided by it.
"This name is my wish for her to be free throughout her life, without being trapped by the wind and rain."
As if she had thought of something again, Li Shiyue smiled and said, "Hmm, 'Xianyu' sounds like 'salted fish'."
I also hope that if she doesn't want to strive, then she can live her life like a dried salted fish, lying flat and carefree, without carrying too much burden; peace and joy would be good too.
Qin Fen listened from the sidelines, understanding only vaguely, but he felt that for Li Shiyue to speak such a long passage, the name must be excellent.
He nodded vigorously from the side: "Okay! Let's call him Li Xianyu! Thank you, October!"
Li Shiyue looked at Xiao Xianyu, who was already sleeping peacefully after being carried out of the crib by Zheng Meiniang, and gently touched her soft cheek with her calloused fingers.
"Envy Yu..."
She called out softly to Li Shiyue, her eyes filled with a tenderness and determination she herself was unaware of.
In this turbulent era, she is willing to use the knife in her hand to cut through the gloom for this newborn child, and for many more children like Xiao Xianyu on this land, to carve out a world where they can grow up in peace.
A few days after Li Xianyu's full moon celebration, on a scorching hot day, Li Shiyue led a thousand Xuanjia soldiers, fully armored and armed, towards the Zhenjun garrison north of Jian'an City.
The chilling aura emanating from the thousand Xuanjia soldiers marching in silence caused the people along the way to give way, their hearts filled with dread.
He traveled swiftly, and even when he was only a few miles away from the garrison, Cai Hua, sitting in his study, heard the news relayed by the soldiers on the watchtower, but he still didn't take it seriously.
In Cai Hua’s view, he was shocked by Huang Wanchang’s death and worried that Liu Tan would find out about his embezzlement and exploitation of soldiers, so he had no choice but to pretend to be friendly with Li Shiyue.
Those were all temporary measures.
Even though Li Shiyue had previously issued the "Kill the Bandits Order" to Quan Jian'an, severely humiliating the Zhenjun, so what?
It's already late August, and Liu Tan in Jinzhou hasn't sent any notice of accountability.
Therefore, Cai Hua was very confident and fearless.
Cai Hua knew that if Li Shiyue wanted to occupy Jian'an City and also go out to sea to kill pirates, then the few people under her command would not be enough.
Cai Hua felt that if Li Shiyue wanted to kill the bandits, she would definitely need the help of their garrison!
Since Li Shiyue has something to ask of him, what does Cai Hua, the garrison commander, have to be afraid of?
So when he heard the report from below that Li Shiyue had led his troops to the garrison and was only a few miles away from the garrison gate, Cai Hua still didn't take it seriously. He even waited in his study with a bit of arrogance.
Cai Hua thought to himself—this woman is just putting on airs because she has the prince backing her up.
He had even started planning how he would make excuses and evade the question when he met Li Shiyue later.
Cai Hua thought that if Li Shiyue could lower herself and say a few nice words;
So, he gave Li Shiyue a smile;
But secretly he still wanted to dig a big pit for Li Shiyue—on the surface he would send Li Shiyue a message that Japanese pirates were hiding on a small island, but secretly?
He would then contact the Japanese pirates and tell them to ambush him in advance, so that Li Shiyue would die directly at their hands!
Of course, what if Li Shiyue didn't give her a pleasant look?
Then he would naturally look sullen;
Moreover, he specifically instructed those Japanese pirates that they should "treat" Li Shiyue properly afterwards!
However, he was very wrong.
Li Shiyue and his men didn't linger outside the town's military camp at all; they went straight in and launched a long-range attack with arrows, subduing the soldiers guarding the town's main gate.
Then, upon arriving at the gate, the Xuanjia Army directly opened the barricades at the entrance of the town's main gate, and Li Shiyue took the lead and led her people straight in.
Before long, Cai Hua looked on in astonishment as Li Shiyue was followed by the ferocious Chen Yong and a number of Xuanjia soldiers, who then barged into his study with their swords drawn.
Just as Cai Hua stood up, about to reprimand Li Shiyue;
Chen Yong rushed forward like lightning and kicked him in the back of the knee;
At the same time, two Xuanjia soldiers took the opportunity to tie Cai Hua's arms behind his back and bound him tightly with ropes that had been prepared beforehand.
Cai Hua, who was now under control, was both shocked and furious.
He struggled and roared at Li Shiyue, "Li Shiyue! How dare you!"
I am a sixth-rank military commander of the Imperial Court!
How dare you...
Chen Yong tore a corner of Cai Hua's clothes and stuffed a random piece into Cai Hua's mouth, preventing Cai Hua from saying anything more.
