After Qi Zhan captured Yuyang, he quickly reorganized his army. In less than half a month, he defeated two cities and approached Daye Fortress Luguan.
The terrain of Luguan is dangerous. It is Daye's choke point to resist foreign enemies. It is the only pass in the northwest of Daye. If Luguan is also occupied by Qi Zhan, then Qi Zhan's attack on the capital of Daye will be as easy as picking out a bag.
Under this heavy pressure, Qi Hong did not dare to delay any longer. He immediately ordered Zhang Wen to lead an army of 200,000 to Luguan. At the same time, he also mobilized more than 300,000 troops from surrounding areas to garrison Luguan.
However, after Qi Zhan captured Ying'an, a town in front of Luguan, there was no movement for the time being, which gave Qi Hong some chance to breathe.
Chu Concubine was pregnant, so it was not advisable to travel far, but it was a long journey from Ying'an to Yuyang. Even if she traveled day and night, it would take five days to get there. Qi Zhan, as a general, could not leave the front line easily, and Chu Concubine often wrote letters Li said he missed him, Qi Zhan thought about it over and over again and asked Fu Yi to hire a carriage and go to Yuyang to pick up Concubine Chu to Ying'an.
At this time, Chu Yu was nearly nine months pregnant and could give birth at any time. In addition to the escorting soldiers, Fu Yi also found three midwives and an experienced doctor to accompany him. There was not much delay on the way. Soon, Chu Yu arrived at Ying'an half asleep and half awake.
Qi Zhan had been waiting outside the city for a long time. After seeing the carriage from a distance, he drove forward and slightly opened the curtain of the carriage, and Chu Yu's sleepy look came into Qi Zhan's eyes.
A few rays of light hit her cheeks. Her skin color was still as white as before. Her little face was much rounder than before. Her long and thick eyelashes fluttered slightly with the bumps of the carriage, which made it difficult to see clearly. eyes.
Seeing Qi Zhan outside the car, Grandma Liu stretched out her hand to wake up Chu Yu, but Qi Zhan waved her hand and said softly: "Let her sleep a little longer, there is still some way to the city."
Aunt Liu responded and covered Chu Chu¡¯s body with the blanket more tightly.
The weather in Ying'an was much warmer than that in Pingfang. Qi Zhan only wore a dark blue robe. Without the cover of the armor, his delicate facial features became more eye-catching, attracting many people to stop along the way.
As they approached the house, there were fewer pedestrians around. Qi Zhan rode back to the carriage. He just stretched out his hand and was about to lift the curtain, but Chu Yu suddenly showed his head from the curtain, with bright black eyes. Still feeling a bit sleepy, he asked Qi Zhan softly: "Why didn't you wake me up?"
The voice was soft, but there was a faint hint of anger, and the slightly pursed lips made people want to take a bite.
Qi Zhan paused for breath, then smiled slightly and said warmly: "Isn't this what I'm calling you for?"
"That's different."
Chu Concubine snorted lightly before being helped out of the carriage by Grandma Liu.
The clothes on her body were not as light as Qi Zhan's, and her round belly also made her movements more cumbersome. She stretched her toes several times but could not reach the ground. After a moment's hesitation, she felt her figure lighten up, and a pair of strong and powerful arms He hugged her tightly, and with the faint fragrance of plum blossoms, she stood firmly on the ground without any effort.
Chu Yan¡¯s eyes lit up, she looked up at Qi Zhan and asked, ¡°Are there any plum blossoms planted in the yard?¡±
Qi Zhan said: "Well, I asked Fu Yi to buy one and plant it some time ago. It hasn't bloomed yet."
Chu Yan said: "Then it should be opened when the baby is born."
Qi Zhan looked at Chu Yu¡¯s belly, which was too big to support, and couldn¡¯t help but frown slightly, and asked, ¡°Did the baby make a lot of noise on the road?¡±
Chu Yan shook her head, touched her belly with her hand, and said with a smile: "The baby was very well behaved on the road. He didn't make any fuss at all. He must have known that I was here to find you."
Only then did Qi Zhan feel relieved. He grabbed Chu Yu's hand and entered the yard. There were many flowers and plants planted in the yard, as if they had been carefully arranged. A winter plum tree was in front of the window. If he got closer, he could see a few. The pure white buds are quite eye-catching on a dark brown branch, somewhat similar to the one in the palace.
Chu Concubine smiled and said, "It would be great if the baby could be born here."
Qi Zhan said "hmm", pulled Chu Chu into the back room, and said in a low voice: "I found a doctor and asked her to take a look at you tomorrow. Let Aunt Liu get a basin of water and clean you first. Just for a moment."
Chu Yan nodded, and Liu Yan and the servants quickly brought the hot water in. Chu Yu's body was too bulky. Qi Zhan was worried about letting her soak like before, so he sent all the servants out. After lighting the heater, he let Chu Yu sit on the armchair and took a bath towel to help Chu Yu wipe it. .
After washing, Qi Zhan discovered that Chu Yu was not fat, but severely bloated.
The feet that used to be held in one hand now almost require two hands to holdHe could barely hold it, and only a light touch showed a few light white finger marks.
Qi Zhan¡¯s eyes darkened, he half-crouched on the ground, and asked her softly: ¡°Are you feeling uncomfortable?¡±
Chu Concubine shook her head and said softly: "It's not uncomfortable, but my legs are a little sore."
Qi Zhan frowned. If he had known that he would suffer so much during pregnancy, he might as well have endured it for a few years.
He put his hand on Chu Yu's swollen calf, pressed it twice gently, and asked, "Is it sore here?"
Chu Concubine was wrapped in a bath towel and hummed: "Well go up a little bit more."
Qi Zhan followed the instructions and moved up a little further. With a slight force on his fingertips, he slowly kneaded it for Concubine Chu.
The sour and numb touch made Chu Yu's toes curl up. Her legs were dangling on the chair, splashing a lot of water droplets onto Qi Zhan's face. It shines brightly in the dim light and is very eye-catching.
Chu Yan looked at Qi Zhan, who was already half wet, and couldn't help but feel a little guilty. She said softly: "Why don't you carry me to the bed, it's all water here"
Qi Zhan responded, stood up and wiped off the water stains on Chu Yu's body, wrapped Chu Yu in a bath towel and carried her to the bed. Just as he was about to turn around to get his clothes, Chu Yuque suddenly grabbed the hem of his clothes and whispered: " Wait a moment."
Qi Zhan turned around, looked down at Chu Yu, and asked her in a low voice: "What's wrong?"
Chu Yan held a corner of the bath towel with her hands, moved her body slightly forward, and gently wiped his face.
A few drops of water slid down Qi Zhan's eyelashes, and the shimmer reflected by it made Chu Yu's expression softer. The faint fragrance on the bath towel combined with her cheeks that were slightly red due to moisture made Qi Zhan His breathing was a little rapid.
His eyes fell on Chu Yan's belly, looking at the light blue blood vessels and a few light red marks on it. He paused, then turned slightly and said softly: "I'll do it myself."
Chu Yu seemed to see something was wrong in his eyes, she couldn't help but smile, lifted the corner of the quilt and got under the quilt, handed the bath towel to Qi Zhan, and said, "Here you are."
Qi Zhan gave a low "hmm", wiped his face casually, turned around and went to the wooden cabinet to find a few clean clothes. When he returned to the bedside, Chu Yu was already a little drowsy.
He called Chu Yu in a low voice, but Chu Yu refused to get up with sleepy eyes. He sighed softly, put his clothes aside, sat sideways beside Chu Yu's bed, put his hand into the quilt, and did what he did just now , gently pinched Chu Yan¡¯s feet.
"I don't know whether it was because of the feeling of comfort or the numbness, but Chu Yu didn't feel sleepy anymore. She looked up at Qi Zhan and asked, "Don't you have to go to the camp today?"
"Yes." Qi Zhan said softly: "I have arranged the camp, and my second brother is in charge. I don't have to go there recently."
Chu Yan blinked and asked: "But I heard from the accompanying soldiers that the emperor has sent 300,000 troops to Luguan, which will arrive in ten days. If you are not in the military camp, how will they make a surprise attack then? manage?"
"It's impossible for him to make a surprise attack." Qi Zhan said in a low voice. He looked up and saw Chu Yu's worried look. He couldn't help but scrape her nose with his hand and said warmly: "That three hundred thousand army can't do anything. Feng Lang, instead of worrying about them, it would be better for me to give the baby a name as soon as possible."
Only then did Chu Chu realize that she had forgotten about it. While stroking her round belly, she squinted her eyes and began to think hard.
"I don't know if it was because she touched the baby, but Chu Yan suddenly felt a little pain in her stomach, accompanied by a slight soreness and numbness, and she couldn't help but snort.
Qi Zhan paused his fingertips and asked in a low voice: "What's wrong?"
Chu Concubine said: "My stomach hurts a little."
The voice was thin and soft, with a hint of timidity. Qi Zhan's breath was stagnant, and he quickly opened the corner of the quilt a little. On the azure sheets, a few bright red blood stains were clearly visible.
Chu Yan's complexion turned pale at a speed that was visible to the naked eye. She held the corner of the quilt with her hands and asked timidly: "Is the baby going to come out?"
Qi Zhan immediately stood up from the bed, covering the bed with the quilt, and whispered: "Wait for me, I'll ask Grandma Liu and Fu Yi to call the midwife."
But before he could take a step forward, the hem of his clothes was tightly grasped by Chu Yu's hands, and she said with a cry: "I stillI haven't put on my clothes yet" (Remember this website's website address: www. hlnovel.com
