After seeing all the guests off in the afternoon, Song Tantan and Song Zhuiyan discussed what names to give their two babies. They had thought about it before, but they didn't know whether the babies would be boys or girls, so they hadn't decided yet.
Now we can choose from the names that were originally chosen. These were names that Song Tantan and Ye Moxun racked their brains to select from books and from their memories.
Male names include: Hongyu, Ruisi, Zhicheng, Minghui, Daoran, Jingheng...
Girl names include: Dai Mei, Ban Shuang, Ruo Yun, Chu Lan, Jia Rui...
Song Zhuiyan was overwhelmed by the choices. One moment she thought they were all good, and the next she felt they were all lacking. Not knowing which one to choose, she sighed softly.
"If only my husband were here, there would be someone else to make decisions."
Ye Moxun didn't think so. Judging from his uncle's taste, he would probably choose flowers and plants for names like Song Tantan. "Boy names are fine, but for girls' names, Uncle will definitely choose camellia or lotus. Aunt, do you think flower names are okay?"
"Then forget it. Come to think of it, my husband would definitely have an even worse name. It's better that he's not here." Song Zhuiyan was also a little glad that Zhong Qingyi wasn't home, because that would have been too vulgar.
Song Tantan pointed to the dozens of names on the paper and picked out two. "I think it would be good to use Jingheng for the younger brother and Yinghe for the younger sister. What do you think?"
Song Zhuiyan's lips twitched. "The lotus flowers reflecting the sun are especially red? I don't like the word 'lotus' in this name. Let's call it 'Yingshuang' instead."
The two names were good, but the three of them were not satisfied with them. So the two of them got formal names: the son was named Zhong Jingheng and the daughter was named Zhong Yingshuang.
Zhong Qingyi, the expectant father who was fighting on the border: "..." He had already thought of many names. Shouldn't he wait until he wrote a letter back before making a decision?
Can't you at least show some respect for him as the father? Boys should be named Zhong Wudi (Invincible), Zhong Bisheng (Victorious), or Zhong Zhengfu (Conqueror), and girls should be named Zhong Mulan (Mulan) or Zhong Jinguo (Heroine)...
Later, he actually wrote that in the letter, asking Song Zhuiyan to choose two names from these options for their son and daughter's formal names. After reading the letter, Song Zhuiyan just wanted to curse him.
Of course, that's a story for later. At this moment, Zhong Qingyi had no idea that his beloved wife had given birth to twins, a boy and a girl, making him a perfect family. He was truly a winner in life.
At this moment, at the border, Zhong Qingyi had just returned from a battle. She had been slashed on the shoulder, her clothes were half open, and she was wrapped in bandages.
"General Zhong should not go into battle tomorrow. If the Hu people dare to provoke us again, I will go and fight them myself," Bai Pingfeng advised.
After a year of training, he is now taller, stronger, and more imposing than before. His skin has tanned from fair and handsome to bronze, and his temperament has become more composed. A man who has been on the battlefield inevitably has a bloodthirsty ferocity in his eyes.
Fighting a war is not something you can just talk about. When the two of them first arrived at the border, they had no experience and suffered several defeats. It was only after several months of training that they gradually grew stronger.
Persistence pays off. After a year, they finally reclaimed the cities occupied by the Hu people and drove them out of their territory.
However, the Hu people were difficult to deal with and not easy to handle. Although the cities belonging to the Great Jin Dynasty had been recaptured, the Hu people had not suffered serious damage and were still very arrogant, shouting and provoking outside the border city gates every day.
The Great Jin Dynasty is currently weak in all aspects, so it is not advisable to engage in too many direct confrontations with them. The reason why they fought to the death before was because the Hu people had seized the cities of the Great Jin Dynasty, and they were determined to take them back. Now that the cities have been taken back, it is naturally better to attack.
Although the army was large, numbering over 200,000, most of them were rookie farmers hastily recruited, many of whom had never been properly trained. On the battlefield, they were either just there to make up the numbers or to be killed, unlike the strong and well-equipped Hu people.
The most difficult thing is that the Great Jin Dynasty is short of food. Since there are many soldiers and generals, they naturally need to eat a lot. However, most of their soldiers and generals can only eat half full. If they can't even fill their stomachs, how can they have the strength to fight?
Therefore, unless the Hu people make excessive noise or bring ladders to attack the city, they generally ignore them and do not fight back.
In the past few days, the Hu and Qiang people have joined forces to attack the city. Zhong Qingyi had no choice but to lead his men out of the city gate to meet the attack. The battle did not last long, ending in less than an hour. Zhong Qingyi was stabbed by a spear, but the Hu general did not fare well either. He was stabbed by Zhong Qingyi's sword, which almost pierced the opponent's heart, killing him on the spot. What a pity.
"The Hu people should not dare to come again tomorrow. The man I stabbed today was the Hu people's number one warrior. Moreover, my sword was coated with medicine, which will surely make him suffer a lot." It is a colorless and odorless slow-acting poison. Anyone who is poisoned will be asleep for at least a month, or as long as half a year, depending on the person's constitution.
As the number one warrior, that person naturally possessed an extremely strong physique. However, when the drug took effect, it caused excruciating pain all over the body, as if ants were gnawing at it. While the body was relatively unaffected, the mind was also tormented. Even after waking up, it would take quite some time for the person to recover.
The medicines Ah Xun creates are always domineering and tricky, and ordinary people cannot cure them.
Don't dismiss Zhong Qingyi's actions as despicable and vile, as he poisoned the sword. He learned this trick from the Hu people. When he first arrived at the border, he fought against the Hu people and was once killed by their general. He didn't realize it at the time, but when he returned, he found that the wound had turned black and the poison had spread. It was truly shocking.
If Ye Moxun hadn't given him many rare antidotes beforehand, he might have lost his life there. Thinking back, when A-Xun gave him a bunch of bottles and jars, he said they were all antidotes he had developed.
In particular, there was a small white pill in a container that could cure any poison. There were only six pills in total. Ah Xun told him to keep it safe. This medicine was very difficult to make. He had used up a lot of medicinal materials to make the only six pills. If his uncle hadn't gone to fight on the border, he wouldn't have been willing to give them away.
Zhong Qingyi was both amused and exasperated. He was just going to fight the Hu people. On the battlefield, it was a fair fight with swords drawn, a fight to the death. How could he possibly use poison? Could it be that someone else had the same ability as Ah Xun, who could summon poisonous creatures to assist him?
Later, the poisonous creatures did not appear to assist, but the Hu people were cunning and tampered with the weapons. Zhong Qingyi had learned her lesson once and realized that she had been too naive. As long as she could kill the other party, she would not care about using any underhanded methods.
So he learned that he should also coat his sword with poison. If someone took his sword, they would suffer some torment even if they didn't die. It wasn't that he didn't want to coat it with more potent poison, but he only carried a few kinds, and it had been quite resource-intensive over the past year.
If he had known this would happen, he should have listened to his wife and brought more medicine powder. Thinking of this, he glanced at Bai Pingfeng. It was this kid who discovered that he had a lot of good stuff, so he always asked him for it.
Since the other party had already asked, Zhong Qingyi found it difficult to refuse. She would give it to them seven times out of ten. But after giving it to them for a while, she realized that she didn't have enough, so she had to use it sparingly. Therefore, this time she applied a milder medicine to the sword, something that wouldn't be fatal and would only make the other party suffer.
Their journey wasn't easy either. When they first arrived at the border, because they were parachuted in, the generals under the wise king looked down on them and didn't consult them on anything, ostracizing them.
Fortunately, their own army was under their command and no one else had the right to move it. Later, they won several battles, and because of their superior martial arts skills, those generals dared not underestimate them.
