Marshal Qin came as soon as it was dark. He was such an old hero who bleeds but never shed tears on the battlefield. Unexpectedly, he almost shed tears when he saw Yan Shi.
Yan Shi's eyes were also red, and tears were rolling in his eye sockets. The grandparent and grandson each spoke their hearts for a while, and Marshal Qin suddenly saw Yan Shi's swollen belly, and became angry: "When I see that little bastard, I have to beat him up hard!"
Hua Ling who was far away in the imperial city suddenly sneezed.
Yan Shi pulled Marshal Qin to sit down: "Grandfather, grandson is living a happy life now." So can you stop beating the little princess
But Marshal Qin didn't understand the deep meaning behind Yan Shi's words. He sighed heavily: "I've been worried about you all these years. I'm afraid that something will happen to you in that wolf's den. Back then we couldn't After saving your mother, I'm afraid that you may have made a mistake. I also want to tell the emperor that I will not guard the southern border, but I am afraid that when I return to the court, he will take away the military power from me. Power can't help you either. Thinking about it, although we are far away from you, the military power in our hands will make the emperor fear us a bit, so that we won't be too embarrassing for you. Child, you have suffered all these years." Said At this point, Marshal Qin's eyes were red again.
Yan Shi was also very uncomfortable, and his nose was a little sore: "It's all over, everything is over. Thinking about it now, everything in the palace at that time seems like a lifetime away." Yan Shi said it easily, but only he knew what it felt like. Being displeased by the emperor and being looked down upon by his subordinates is nothing. Assassinations again and again, those wars without gunpowder made him escape time and time again.
"Now that I have full wings, it's time to get back everything that belongs to me. There is also the queen mother, and I will clear up her grievances." When Yan Shi said this, his eyes were bright and his voice was full of strength.
"Growing up, really growing up." Marshal Qin stretched out his hand and gently stroked Yan Shi's hair.
Yan Shi suddenly frowned and snorted.
"What's wrong?" Marshal Qin immediately took his hand off, looking at Yan Shi with a rather worried expression.
After a while, Yan Shi put his hands on his stomach, and smiled softly: "The baby kicked me just now."
Marshal Qin felt relieved when he saw that he was fine.
Yan Shi gently stroked his belly, the tenderness in his eyes seemed to overflow: "Ever since he left the imperial city, he has been constantly moving. These days he has been moving even more, and it seems to be a month old , he is in a hurry to come out. Grandfather, touch it too." As he spoke, he grabbed Marshal Qin's hand and put it on his stomach.
Marshal Qin's face changed slightly, but he still couldn't accept it, how could a good grandson be pregnant. But when he touched Yan Shi's belly, the baby moved again to save face. A strange, never-before-seen feeling flooded his body, perhaps due to blood relationship, which made Marshal Qin's previous awkwardness disappear.
"He moved! He moved!" He laughed like a child.
Marshal Qin sat for a while, the military was busy, so he couldn't stay here any longer. Now that the confrontation between the two armies has become a stalemate, let's wait for the third prince to see if he can turn things around. After all, Nan Wang is playing the banner of revenge for the third prince. If the third prince stood in front of them alive, then his excuse of attacking Dayuan would be self-defeating.
Yan Shi discussed with Marshal Qin again, and tomorrow he will go to the army to have a look. When I arrive tomorrow, I can only wear court clothes. The sleeves are wide enough to cover my stomach.
When you are in the army, if you don't lead the army to fight, you don't need to wear armor, as long as you don't go out of the camp much, it's fine. After all, he is a prince and the grandson of Marshal Qin. He only needs to form an army, let everyone win the battle, and everyone will trust him. It is not necessary to lead the army to fight in person. Moreover, he also brought Qu Liushang, Qu Liushang has excellent medical skills and can heal wounded soldiers in the army. With these two points, he must be able to establish prestige in the army.
Early the next morning, Yan Shi joined the army. To say that the people in the army had expected his arrival, but they did not expect that the third prince who Wu Manguo said had been killed by Da Yuan would actually come back to life.
Yan Shi immediately took out the imperial decree and read it out, but no one came up with anything
question.
These people have followed Marshal Qin for many years, and they have extraordinary feelings. They all know that Yan Shi is Marshal Qin's grandson, so they naturally warmly welcome him.
It's just that someone secretly whispered to the person next to him: "This prince is good in everything, and he looks good, but he didn't maintain a good figure, and his stomach is fat."
The man next to him was tall and thick, and disdainful of his words, he patted his stomach: "What do you know, I have a bigger stomach. If I have a big stomach, I'm called a man."
Yan Shi naturally heard these words, smiled lightly, and pretended not to hear.
Yan Shi went to the army and inquired carefully about the battle situation. At this moment, someone came to report, and people from Wuman Kingdom came to beg the enemy again.
Yan Shi discussed with everyone, and decided to ask the third prince to come forward to see the situation first.
Marshal Qin ordered some soldiers and went out with the third prince.
After about an hour, the third prince came back again, seeing his appearance, he knew that the matter was not successful.
The third prince sat down on the ground: "The soldier who led the army was not my uncle, but the most loyal dog in front of my uncle. He said I was a fake. I fought with him, and he was stabbed by me. I guess no one Ten days and a half months won't get better."
Although the marshal is Nan Wang's own person, but in order to eliminate dissidents, Nan Wang also sent many people loyal to the third prince to fight against Da Yuan, in order to let them die on the battlefield.
"I plan to visit the military camp tonight." The third prince said, "I will meet those old generals."
Wei Shuo said, "I'll go with you."
The third prince glanced at him and nodded heavily at him.
Things went smoother than expected. Those old generals were loyal to the former lord, the third prince. After hearing what the third prince had said about Nan Wang's actions over the years, they immediately mutinied and killed all of Nan Wang's people.
What happened here, presumably Nan Wang will soon know. The third prince immediately discussed with Yan Shi and led his army into the capital of Wuman Kingdom.
The Southern King has controlled the state affairs of the Wuman Kingdom for so many years, and holds most of the military power in the Wuman Kingdom. This is also the reason why the third prince borrowed troops from Da Yuan. The military power in his hands is not enough to defeat the Southern King.
Marshal Qin is still stationed in the southern border, led by Yan Shi, Wei Shuo, the third prince, and Gao Changgeng to attack the Southern King.
Marshal Qin did not rush to report to the court that the war between Dayuan and Wuman was over, after all, the king of Nan had not yet been defeated.
In fact, Yan Shi didn't go out with the army, but just stayed in the small courtyard bought for him by Marshal Qin to conceive.
He and Qu Liushang were the only two people in this small courtyard, as soon as they calmed down, the thoughts would overwhelm the sky and cover the sky. He was really thinking hard, so he took out the things Hua Ling gave him and looked at them over and over again.
In the blink of an eye, Yan Shi's stomach was already more than eight months old, and his legs and feet gradually swelled up, and the shoes he used to wear could no longer fit. Qu Liushang would massage his legs, but it was of no use.
As for the swollen legs and feet, this bit of bitterness can be eaten, but the most embarrassing thing is that it becomes difficult to go to the toilet every morning. In order to reduce unnecessary troubles, no one was found to serve him. Qu Liushang is a doctor no matter what, how dare he let him serve him to do these things.
At the beginning, Yan Shi would find a stick to lean on, but gradually the stick was useless.
Qu Liushang was also careless, and since he never took care of pregnant women, he didn't notice Yan Shi's embarrassment.
In the evening of that day, Yan Shi went through the clothes that Hua Ling made for him one by one in the room as usual. Suddenly, a familiar voice that could no longer be familiar came from the silent night sky—"Brother! Brother!"
It's Hua Ling!
Yan Shi suddenly raised his head and looked outside, but the next moment he shook his head with a wry smile, he was really confused, Hua Ling was still in the imperial city, how could he be here, it seems that he had been thinking too much and had hallucinations.
But then there was another knock on the door. This sound was very real, and it was definitely not a hallucination.
Yan Shi's heart was pounding violently, he stood up suddenly and walked outside.
Qu Liushang opened the door one step ahead of him, and outside the door stood the dusty Hua Ling and the dumb mother.
"Princess, why are you here?"
Hua Ling ignored him, walked past him, and walked in front of Yan Shi a few steps: "Brother, I'm here!" She wanted to hug him, but she didn't dare to see his protruding belly.
"Ming, Ming Ting? Is that you?" There is a moon tonight, and he can clearly see the person in front of him, but Yan Shi is afraid that he might not see clearly, and also afraid that he thinks he is dreaming.
"It's me, brother, I'm here, it's true, you're not dreaming." Hua Ling still couldn't help but gently hugged Yan Shi's shoulder.
"Why are you here? Does Emperor Father know?" When Yan Shi touched the warm body, he believed that Hua Ling had really come.
"Brother is cold outside, let's go inside and talk." Hua Ling gently supported Yan Shi and helped him into the room.
Qu Liushang asked from behind: "Has the princess eaten?"
"I haven't eaten." Hua Ling's voice came from the room.
Qu Liushang started the fire to cook, and the dumb mother went away with him.
"What do you want to eat?" Qu Liushang asked while lighting the fire.
"Let's make noodles." The dumb mother said, "I want to eat two poached eggs. This little brat is in a hurry. I only sleep for a maximum of two hours a day. Go to sleep first, and call me when the noodles are ready."
Fortunately, this small courtyard is not big, but there are quite a lot of rooms, Qu Liushang pointed to a room for the dumb mother, and went into the kitchen again.
"Why are you here?" Yan Shi looked at Hua Ling carefully under the lamp.
Hua Ling smelled her body, and didn't ask any questions, so she hugged Yan Shi and stuck to him: "I miss my brother, so I will come naturally."
