Chapter 354: The child is smart and knows the importance of being born into a good family
In today's world, people are suffering terribly.
Before the Northern Yan army arrived, Yunzhou belonged to the imperial court.
The imperial court was rotten and stinking to the core, with a foolish emperor and a wicked concubine, and even more treacherous ministers in power. Corrupt officials were like maggots, gnawing at the rotten meat of the imperial court, and the clans were also plundering money like crazy and running away.
Of course, there were also kind-hearted people who donated money and effort, provided porridge to the people, and saved many people.
But they are a minority.
People like Cui Si, who got such a medical book but did not think of keeping it as a rare copy, but instead copied it and gave it to people all over the world, are indeed worthy of praise.
"Ms. Cui?" The young man stroked the two words "Jiang Nian" with his fingers, and his originally calm expression became a little complicated. When he opened the book, he saw content that was familiar to him.
He looked a little surprised, but then he felt that everything was normal.
It's something she can do.
It is better to spread it around the world and save more lives than to put it on the shelf and keep it secret.
He dropped his eyes.
"Why is Mrs. Cui sick?" He remembered that Doctor Lin was invited over to see a patient.
Doctor Lin said, "This girl is really careless. She's still running around even though she's pregnant. She's been running around for a while now. She must be worried that something might be wrong with the baby, so she asked me to come over and take a look."
"But if you ask me, this mother is really generous. It's the child who is smart and knows the importance of being born into a good family."
"Pregnant?" He was stunned and confused for a moment.
He remembered that she was not married yet, so how could she be pregnant?
Could it be that it wasn't her?
"Old doctor, do you know the rank of this Miss Cui and her name?"
Doctor Lin shook his head, looking somewhat surprised. "Why are you asking all this? I only know this lady's last name is Cui. I don't know anything else. You don't need to ask too much. Don't pry into other people's affairs."
"As doctors, it's best for us to keep our mouths shut and pretend we know nothing, no matter what we encounter."
Old Doctor Lin was imparting his experience to the young man, and he spoke until his mouth was dry. The other party just sat there quietly holding the book, and for a moment he had no intention of continuing to speak.
"Do you want to read this book? If not, return it to me."
"Look," the young man replied immediately. "It's good to review the past and learn new things."
"Reviewing the old to learn the new, haha, An Nian, you also know that reviewing the old to learn the new. You should first learn the new. You've waited until my age to talk about reviewing the old. Take care of your medicine. I'm going to read a book."
Doctor Lin left in a hurry. The young man sat quietly on a low stool for a long time, holding a book. The fire in the stove next to him was still burning, and the medicine in the medicine pot was still boiling, making a gurgling sound.
The ground, which had not yet dried up due to the heavy rain, was wet in patches, stained with dust, mud, dead leaves, and rainwater.
Just like his life - a mess.
......
In the following days, Cui Si stayed in Yunzhou City to rest and take care of her pregnancy. Although the weather in June was hot, it was not too unbearable because she had ordered ice cubes in advance and put some in the house every day.
In a blink of an eye, two months passed. By the end of July, good news came from Xiling.
At the beginning of May, Shen Sui and Shangguan Tong led an army of 50,000 and joined forces with the Southern Huai Army to gather an army of 110,000 to fight against the Xiling Army.
As soon as the war broke out, the two families caught Xiling off guard. By the time the Xiling army realized that the two families had joined forces, they had already lost one state and were losing another state.
Being forced to do so, Xiling had to reluctantly give up and defend the remaining two states.
However, within just a month, the Xiling army was defeated and surrendered. The King of Xiling led his personal guards to break through the siege and escape from Xiling, and their whereabouts are unknown.
It was at this time that news came out that Nanhuai had accepted the letter of surrender from Beiyan and was going to join Beiyan with the three Nanhuai states and the Nanhuai army.
The whole of Northern Yan was in an uproar, and the people who had suffered so much from the war were in tears.
The Great Zhou has become a stranger. Over the past ten years, they have suffered from war and are like duckweed in this world. Many of their loved ones have died in this chaotic world.
Northern Yan originally controlled ten states in the world. Now with the addition of the four states of Xiling and the three states of Nanhuai, it now has seventeen states. Seventeen states means one-third of the world's territory is in the hands of Northern Yan.
Even the imperial court only has fifteen states under its jurisdiction.
When it comes to fighting, Beiyan has never lacked brave generals. Now that its territory has expanded, the soldiers and food supplies from the rear can keep up. As long as Beiyan does not seek death and does not encounter major problems, it is bound to win in the future.
By that time, the world will finally be at peace.
"I also heard that the Lord personally went to the Laizhou border and invited the kings to a meeting, saying that he wanted to persuade them to surrender. If they could surrender and avoid a war, that would naturally be the best."
"What?! Is this news true or false?"
"Of course it's true. I heard that the person has passed away."
"I haven't heard of this news. Where did you hear it from?"
"I also heard someone say that, it should be true..."
Cui Si's baby is already four months old and is now firmly in her womb. She is no longer as cautious as before and doesn't even dare to go out. In addition, the summer heat has subsided a lot these days, so she also likes to go out for a walk and listen to gossip in the teahouse.
Every time she went out, she felt happy. Even though she had heard some news from people like Nanxiang Yanzhi, she still found it very interesting and happy to listen to these people talking about them.
When she heard someone say that Yan Xingchuan went to Laizhou to invite the kings to a meeting, she frowned.
"He went there in person?"
It is indeed a great idea to take the opportunity of recovering Xiling and surrendering Nanhuai to win over the kings. Although it is impossible for all those people to recognize Northern Yan and be willing to submit to it, Northern Yan is powerful and the general trend is unstoppable, so they need to make a choice.
The imperial court is no longer reliable, and the two remaining options are either to join forces with the kings to fight against Northern Yan, or to surrender to Northern Yan and submit to it.
There were some kings with greater power who were unwilling to accept the result and would rather die than bow their heads, but at the same time, they knew that it would never be their turn to sit on the throne and they had to become the vassal anyway, so they naturally made a choice in their hearts.
Compared with other kings, Northern Yan seems more reliable and safe.
Perhaps it won’t be long before half of the world’s territory will belong to Northern Yan.
Yan Nanxiang nodded and said, "The military advisor has to stay in Xiling Nanhuai to handle various matters and cannot return. Since we want to negotiate surrender, it is natural that the Lord must go in person."
Cui Si frowned again: "Then who is guarding Miaozhou now? Chen Mo?"
It’s not that she doesn’t trust Chen Mo, but Chen Mo is still too young and delicate, and she is afraid that he can’t calm down. Moreover, if the imperial court attacks at this time, Miaozhou will be in danger.
"The Lord will leave Yun Kui and Yun Gang behind to guard Miaozhou for him."
