The status of the Duke's wife is different, so giving birth to a child is naturally different. It has been almost a day and the birth has not been completed. A large group of people are walking outside. Cang Shuliang looks contented, but everyone knows that he is nervous. What?

I saw old Mr. Cang Shu holding down the book. The old man had made a lot of excuses to come to Baoqing City years ago. Xiao Huli and Xia Hou knew exactly why, so they chose to accept the old man's bad excuses with their noses in their hands.

Meng Yan was restless, and kept breathing in and out to relieve his pressure, but it was of no use. He refused the guard's kindness and served tea and water for everyone. After a while, he stretched his head and looked inside. As long as he heard Cang Shu Haoyue

The hand that poured the tea would shake as he screamed. This was the birth of his first child. Apart from being excited, what he was most concerned about was whether Cang Shu Haoyue could survive it. Giving birth to a child was like going through hell.

.

The two Zhuo Bailing brothers also rushed over after hearing this. Zhuo Bailing was not in a good mood these days. Meng Yan's sudden decision caught him off guard. He had always wanted to meet Meng Yan to talk, but he could never see Meng Yan.

In front of Yan, he had no choice but to block Quartz at the door of the Governor's Mansion. The reply he received was that he was still sick. If Cang Shu Haoyue hadn't given birth to a child today, he still wouldn't be able to see Meng Yan, but he didn't look like a sick person.

, Zhuo Bailing knew that it was particularly inhumane to discuss official matters at this time, but attacking Goshawk Ridge would undoubtedly cost him his life in anger.

"Brother, don't go there. The Duke has his own ideas for doing this." Zhuo Baiqing grabbed Zhuo Bailing who was about to step forward and said in a low voice.

Zhuo Bailing looked at his younger brother strangely. Since he became a disciple of Ye Bohuai, he has experienced several battles and has grown up. The two brothers usually don't see each other much. This time Zhuo Baiqing heard that he was coming to be the governor.

The government insisted on following, and it seemed that this boy had an agenda, "No! I am the deputy envoy of the Baize Army, and I have to think about the lives of the soldiers!" Zhuo Bailing said solemnly.

After saying that, Zhuo Bailing wanted to get rid of Zhuo Baiqing's hand, but suddenly found that he couldn't remove the force like a pincer. Zhuo Bailing estimated that Zhuo Baiqing had entered the Ksitigarbha realm at least along the way of the martial arts, and glared

With some joy at the same time.

"Brother, Nie Sima is here. Please listen to what Nie Sima has to say." Zhuo Baiqing did not let go of Zhuo Bailing.

Nie Huan also came here early. After hearing this, Nie Huan was very happy. Meng Yan's future future was at least guaranteed after having a baby. He was also surprised by Meng Yan's sudden return to Baoqing City and his sudden decision at first.

Later, after combining the intelligence from various sources, he knew that Meng Yan did this deliberately and was bargaining with the king. Seeing Zhuo Bailing's situation, he probably hadn't figured it out yet.

"Peace, Marquis Zhuo. The Duke has his own reasons. It's better not to disturb the Duke at this time. What do you think?"

Nie Huan, who was the Commander-in-Chief of the Dudu Prefecture, was a person that most generals in the army did not want to interact with. It was not that they were disgusted, but they just had a natural sense of distance from intelligence, and Nie Huan happened to be the person in charge of intelligence.

"Nie Sima, don't you think there is a problem with the Duke's decision?"

"Zhuo Hou, the Military Council has passed this decision. I think you should implement it well. Do you know that Mr. Zhuo will bow his head soon?" Nie Huan reminded.

Zhuo Bailing was stunned for a moment when he heard about the Zhuo family. Since arriving at Bai Zejun, he has almost stopped receiving any information related to the Zhuo family, including Meng Yan. The Zhuo family's affairs have been fully handed over to the Mingjian Division.

After receiving the news that Mr. Zhuo bowed his head, I still felt a sour feeling in my heart.

"Is Zhuo... Jiangyou so fast? Because of Zhong?" Zhuo Bailing asked slightly embarrassed.

"Yes, Zhong, now we should call him King Dongyang. King Dongyang is in charge of both armies. King Dongyang stopped moving after Fan Lihu arrived in Jinzhou. Why do you think Zhuohou is doing it?" Nie Huan said meaningfully.

"Is it because you are waiting for Xiao Yu?"

"Yes, Dongyang City and the Qilin Army did go too far this time. We are holding back the Gu family. They are doing well over there. The Zhuo family now has only two choices. One is to join forces with the Gu family.

Fighting for our lives, the second is that the Zhuo family bows their heads. What the Duke means by doing this is actually to force Gu Yanfeng to interview, capture Zhaoling, and storm Goshawk Ridge. Isn’t Gu Yanfeng nervous? Can Gu Qufeng still be able to do it?

Can you sit still in Lincheng?" Nie Huan Xiangjin explained that his patience was not because of his good personal relationship with Zhuo Bailing, but because his purpose was to let Zhuo Bailing make a choice.

Zhuo Bailing fell into deep thought. He was from the Zhuo family, and the intrigues in the big family were no less than those in the court. He had always avoided the disputes in the family, so he chose to station in Xianghu. But now he was afraid that he would not be able to escape this dispute. He had already been marked with it.

Bai Zejun's imprint was on him, and quitting at this time was like betraying the master. In fact, he was not optimistic about Meng Yan in his heart. Bai Zejun was ranked first in the Chen Dynasty in terms of strength, but he was far behind in terms of status. Xiao Yu was a royal relative of the Chen Dynasty, and he was dignified.

His father-in-law, Xia Houming, was the most unyielding among the generals of the Chen Dynasty. The attitude of the Dongyang County Prince was actually very obvious. Xiao Yu's strength was unparalleled.

"The Duke plans to put aside his personal grudges and make a deal with the Gu family?" Zhuo Bailing confirmed Meng Yan's thoughts.

"Zhuo Hou, you are a fan of the authorities. The Duke has never intended to reconcile with the Gu family. He is just showing the strength of the Baize Army." Suddenly Nie Huan lowered his voice and said cautiously: "If we take Hengyang, what will happen to the Tu Shan family?"

Choice? What would happen if our Baize Army stationed troops in the Xingtan Twelve Prefectures?"

Zhuo Bailing was shocked and looked at Nie Huan with surprise. He had never thought that Meng Yan would have such thoughts. To station troops in the twelve states of Xingtan, the Tushan clan could only choose Meng Yan. So the strength of Bai Zejun and Qilin

Although there is a gap between the two armies, they are still about the same strength as six or four. If the imperial court wants to go north, it will definitely not dare to touch Baize's army easily. Meng Yan is fighting for a way out for Baize's army.

Zhuo Bailing looked at Nie Huan, then turned to look at Zhuo Baiqing with an evil smile in confusion, "Have you all made your decision?"

"Brother, all the middle-level and grass-roots generals in the Bai Ze Army have already made a decision. For no other reason, the establishment of the Civil Intelligence Monitor has only lasted for a short period of time. Everyone has already realized the benefits of the Civil Intelligence Monitor. The officials are dedicated and the soldiers are working hard. This Bai Ze Army has been like this since ancient times.

It's never happened before, now it's up to you, brother." Zhuo Baiqing looked at Zhuo Bailing with a passionate face, his face filled with brilliance and unprecedented confidence.

"Then Ye Shuai..." Zhuo Bailing shook his head helplessly, "Ye Shuai is the Duke's loyal supporter, and all the camp leaders were single-handedly promoted by the Duke. In fact, my choice will not affect the overall situation.

Why do you go to all the trouble?" Zhuo Bailing glared at his younger brother.

"Brother, the Duke has never asked us to do anything. Everything we do now has been negotiated. Your attitude is very important, and your choice can influence Jiang You's choice to surrender!" Zhuo Baiqing persuaded.

"The prince doesn't know? You are committing a crime! You are forcing the palace!" Zhuo Bailing scolded angrily, but suppressed his voice.

Nie Huan could tell that Zhuo Bailing was moved, "If Zhuo Hou doesn't agree, you can tell the county prince about our secret connection, or you can inform Chencheng, but the lives of 150,000 brothers will be entrusted to Zhuo Hou." Nie Huan looked at it.

It seems magnanimous, but in fact it is a threat to Zhuo Bailing.

"Brother, we can no longer hesitate. The relationship between Xiao Yu and the Duke seems to be close. In fact, the king deliberately divided his troops to create distance. The relationship is now irreversible. Xiao Yu promoted Qingwu and Teng, the traitors of our Bai Ze Army.

Han, and our Bai Zejun has also recaptured Ma Tong's old troops, do you think it is possible for everyone to sit together and be harmonious?" Zhuo Baiqing forced her heart-breakingly.

Zhuo Bailing was really moved. He hesitated and asked, "Aren't you afraid that the Duke will disapprove of your approach?"

Nie Huan smiled and said: "Don't worry about this Zhuohou. Although the Duke is affectionate, his 150,000 brothers are more important to him. If we have to bear all the responsibilities and sins on that day, I will bear all the responsibilities and sins with all the brothers."

Already."

Zhuo Bailing saw the fanatical expressions on the faces of Nie Huan and Zhuo Baiqing, and sighed. Whether it was his embarrassing identity or the lives of Zhuo Baiqing and a group of brothers, he had only one way.

The odds of winning look slim on the cards, but it's not without a chance. With Meng Yan's character and ability, he will save the lives of his brothers even if the situation is irreversible. After all, whether it's Zhong or Xiao Yu, they have nothing to lose.

The personal relationship between them would not allow Meng Yan to die. Meng Yan and Xiao Yu actually look like a team of twins, either fighting each other or respecting and loving each other. Who knows the future?

"My wife has given birth and the Duke is in a bad mood, so I won't bother you. I would like to ask Ni Sima to tell the Duke that we will leave for Goshawk Ridge at the end of tomorrow!"

Nie Huan smiled, and so did Zhuo Baiqing. Ever since Meng Yan sent troops to contain the Gu family years ago, they had connected in private and were waiting for an opportunity. Dongyang City's surrender happened to be an opportunity.

, it happened that Meng Yan chose to attack Goshawk Ridge, which saved them the trouble of petitioning for a fight. Thanks to Quartz's advance message, Zhuo Bailing was now done, and there were only two people left, one was Su Qing and the other was Jin.

Qian.

As soon as Zhuo Bailing left, Shi Ying hurried over and said, "It's no problem with Su's command. Madam has already taken care of it."

"Then only Jin Qian is left. This guy is really troublesome. It seems that Ye Shuai has to personally take action." Nie Huan calculated.

"Nie Sima, I think it won't be too much trouble for Jin to instruct his side. Maybe we are overthinking it. He is a pure person. As long as it does not touch Bai Zejun's interests too much, we don't have to force him to make a choice. Madam also means the same." Quartz.

Said softly.

"It's true that I'm in trouble. Madam has thought carefully about Jin Qian's matter. How is Madam doing? Why has there been no news for so long?" Nie Huan felt relieved when he saw that the matter had been resolved.

Speaking of this, Quartz shook her head, "I just saw Su commanding him to come out of it. The situation inside is not good. Po Wen said that Madam is probably pregnant with twins."

"Twins?! Didn't the previous doctor see it?" Nie Huan said in surprise.

"I heard the news from inside that the other one was too young. The doctor didn't notice it at all at the time. It was only the female medical officer brought by Mr. Cang Shu who came over who noticed it." Quartz looked sad.

"Madam, nothing can happen!" Nie Huan's heart sank. The entire plan was planned by Madam and Ye Bohuai. They are just vassals. If Madam makes mistakes, it will be difficult to advance the whole plan.

At this moment, a shrill cry came from the distance, and everyone in the courtyard had their hearts in their throats. The kettle in Meng Yan's hand had already fallen to the ground.

I saw the maid in the inner courtyard hurriedly taking things back and forth. Not long after, there was another scream. This scream was obviously exhausted and hoarse. Meng Yan's mind went blank. He kept trying to rush in. The guards around him

He tried his best to stop it.

Just when Meng Yan was performing Jiuchen Gong, Su Qing came out with a smile, holding one in each hand, and congratulated: "Congratulations, Duke, on the birth of a twin!"

Meng Yan had no thoughts at all at this time, and just wanted to rush in to see Cang Shu Haoyue. Su Qing handed the child to Meng Yan and said softly: "Don't worry, Duke, my wife has a strong foundation. She is just too tired to give birth. The medical officer is doing acupuncture inside."

Madam has fallen into a coma, so it would be better for the Duke to entertain guests outside while I am inside."

Meng Yan slowed down this time and was able to look at the two children in his arms. The boy was much stronger and was giggling all the time, while the girl was curled up like a little mouse with her eyes closed and a smile on her face.

There are some tear stains, it seems that I was bullied badly in my stomach.

Cang Shuliang was indeed an old man who had experienced great things. He rubbed his legs and said, "Congratulations to your virtuous son-in-law on the birth of a child!"

At this time, everyone in the courtyard came to their senses and came forward to congratulate her. After a lively discussion, Su Qing said: "My lord, the child is still young, so you should leave it to me to take him inside." After saying this, he glanced at Quartz.

Quartz understood and immediately said to everyone: "My lords and generals, please follow me. It is better not to disturb the lady's rest."

Seeing this, Meng Yan swept away the gloom in his heart and said loudly: "The Governor's Mansion will hold a banquet for three days!"
