Chapter 2 The Crystal of Love
The news that Lin’s army’s 50,000 soldiers were eliminated by the Si army quickly reached the Lin King. Lin was sitting in the Shandu Imperial City and held a banquet with all officials to celebrate. After hearing the news, he was stunned and asked, “No 50,000 soldiers have come back?”
"No, Si Jun blocked all the way out, and no one ran out..." Xiaobing replied.
King Lin gritted his teeth and said, "Si Jun is so cruel that he actually destroyed 50,000 people, 50,000!"
Seeing King Lin's distressed look, the officials had to shake their heads and sigh, and the joyful atmosphere of the banquet suddenly became silent. Everyone advised King Lin to summon 50,000 people back, but King Lin was greedy for a small advantage, so he had the result of this.
"Qian Xiaoxing, this bastard! I still miss the love between a father-in-law and son-in-law. I promised him to cede land and ask for peace and let him go back. You don't recognize your relatives, and kill my 50,000 soldiers without mercy!" King Lin said angrily.
After hearing this, the ministers below didn't dare to talk. If they said that the relatives refused to recognize each other, King Lin would do it first. He did it on the first day of the lunar calendar but did not let Qian Xiaoxing do it on the fifteenth day of the lunar calendar. Although the officials knew it well, no one dared to say the previous sentence.
King Lin looked at the officials silently and shouted, "Are you all mute? Now that Si State has bullied us, you still don't share my worries and problems. Do you want Lin State to be destroyed by Si State like Hu State!"
Seeing that King Lin was about to get angry, a minister hurriedly said, "King Lin was angry. Although the Si army was powerful, after they captured Shandu, they still had to ced the land and seek peace under the siege of our army. This shows that they were still afraid of our army. As long as we sent troops to attack, we would definitely win in one fell swoop!"
After hearing this, King Lin became even more angry and cursed: "The useless thing actually came up with such a bad idea. When the Si army ceded territory and sought peace, it was our army and Shiguo that forced Qian Xiaoxing to do this. Now without the alliance of Shiguo, it is different from the past. Do you understand?"
The minister hurriedly defended: "Emperor, at the time our country and Shiguo Alliance had a total strength of only 300,000. Although our army has lost 50,000, it still has 250,000 troops, and the military army is only more than 100,000, which is still several times that of the enemy. There are still some battles."
Another general came out and said, "I don't think so. The Si army is strong in combat and has strong morale. Even if our 250,000 soldiers can fight, they will be killed or injured. The more than 300,000 troops of Hu State were all destroyed by the Si army. We must learn this lesson and cannot take the initiative to attack Si."
King Lin agreed with the words of the general and said, "It is definitely not possible to fight with Si State, but if you don't fight Si State, will you not avenge the 50,000 soldiers?"
Among all the officials, Lin Yilong was also among them. He had just rushed over from Lin Guoqi. When he heard that King Lin turned against Qian Xiaoxing for the sake of his interests and alliance with Bai Xiao, he was very helpless. Lin Yilong is a kind person. Although he was very disdainful of King Lin's actions, he could do nothing. However, he always felt that King Lin would always be retribution for doing this.
He always has to do things for others when he takes his salary. Lin Yilong came out and said, "King Lin, although the Si army killed 50,000 of us, Lin's country was the first to use military force. Since Qian Xiaoxing can destroy Hu, he has the ability to destroy our Lin country. I think the Si army is preparing for war when he returns now and will definitely fight in the future. If Lin country is not destroyed, I think it is better to return the land that Si country has been ceasing us to them, so that it may be possible to avoid the catastrophe!"
"What!" Wang Lin said in disbelief after hearing this: "Okay, Lin Yilong, have you had an affair with Qian Xiaoxing, and you actually have ambition to others and destroy your majesty!"
Lin Yilong sighed and said, "King Lin, you are so loyal. Just listen to the advice of the old minister. We really can't afford to offend Qian Xiaoxing!"
The other generals shouted: "Qian Xiaoxing is also a human being, and he doesn't have three heads and six arms, what's there to be afraid of?"
Wang Lin nodded in agreement and said, "Others are afraid of Qian Xiaoxing, but I am not afraid of him. Lin Yilong, if it weren't for your usual loyalty, I would have to lock you up!"
After hearing this, Lin Yilong had nothing to say, so he had to stand silently. King Lin continued, "But sending troops to attack Si State, it's not OK, because we still have Shi State behind us. Do you have any good countermeasures?"
A civil servant came out and said, "We must avenge the 50,000 soldiers. Since the fight cannot be done, we will use the attack with literature. First, cut off the road to Huju Pass, close the Si State, and suppress Si State economically. Secondly, Si State has many industries in our forest state, such as money shops, supermarkets, etc., which are confiscated and handed over to the treasury, and also give Qian Xiaoxing some color to see."
"This method is good!" Wang Lin was very happy after hearing this and ordered: "You go and do it immediately!"
At this time, there was a military general named Liu Zheng, about forty years old and a famous military general in Lin State. Seeing him stand up, he said, "King Lin, although we don't attack Si State, we still have to prevent Si State from attacking us. They also have more than 100,000 troops, and they should not be underestimated."
"What I said is reasonable. In your opinion, how should we prevent the attack of the State of Si?" asked Wang Lin.
Liu Zheng thought for a while and said, "At present, the border between Lin and Si are Huju Pass. Si are Huju Pass, and the retreat can defend and attack, so we must stop it. It is better for us to rebuild the pass at the important road of Huju Pass to prevent the advance of the Si army. The other is based on Lanjiang. Si army built a bridge on Lanjiang, which is very convenient to cross the river. Therefore, I suggest building a high tower arrow tower around the bridge to control it."
"Very good," said Lin Wang applaudingly: "Then you will go and do your business, and you will be rewarded if you do it well!"
"Yes!" Liu Zheng retreated.
After this court meeting, Lin Guo took two actions against Si Guo, one was to confiscate Si Guo's industries in Lin Guo, and the other was to build various fortifications to prevent Si Jun from attacking Lin Guo. Qian Xiaoxing was busy and had never thought about these problems at all. In the palace of Xinghuo City, Mu Peiling was lying on the bed, and her stomach hurt to give birth.
Although Qian Xiaoxing has one son and two daughters, his wife is not around when she gave birth. This time Mu Peiling finally arrived. Qian Xiaoxing heard Mu Peiling screaming in pain outside the door, and was anxious and didn't know what to do.
Seeing Qian Xiaoxing's unstable mind, Si Yingying comforted her: "Don't worry, I have invited the best midwife in Si, and I guarantee that there is no problem."
"Is the fetal position correct?" Qian Xiaoxing asked worriedly. If he encountered a difficult labor, it would be impossible to complete a caesarean birth under ancient conditions. I am really afraid that something will happen.
Si Yingying laughed and said, "You even know how to give birth to a woman. Don't worry, there is no problem with the fetal position."
As the two were talking, Shi Yeying hurried over and said, "Xiao Cui's belly is starting to hurt, why are the two of them having sex together?"
"They sowed the seeds together, of course they were born together. So where am I going? Is it where Mu Peiling or Xiao Cui?" Qian Xiaoxing said worriedly.
Shi Yeying smiled and said, "Now you know it's difficult. Who asked you to marry so many wives and still have to sow seeds together. Find a way for yourself!"
Qian Xiaoxing thought for a while and said, "Okay, since you have sowed seeds on one bed, let's have them on the other bed. Take Lan Xiaocui over immediately and give birth to Mu Peiling."
"I think I have to do this." Si Yingying immediately went to instruct the servants. After a while, Lan Xiaocui was carried over on the recliner. Everyone helped Lan Xiaocui into the house. Qian Xiaoxing also wanted to sneak in but was blocked by Si Yingying and said, "Men can't come in."
"I am their husband, can't I do it?" Qian Xiaoxing shouted.
Si Yingying said helplessly: "Are you afraid you will have nightmares after watching it? Or don't see it?" Si Yingying pushed Qian Xiaoxing out of the door. Qian Xiaoxing could only go outside the door and prick up his ears and listen. The shouts of the two women came one after another, and he could only shout loudly: "Xiao Cui, Ling'er, I'm outside, you must give birth to it with your strength!"
On the bed, Mu Peiling and Lan Xiaocui were spreading their thighs, and sweat had already soaked the ends of their hair. The sisters next to them were encouraging them, and the midwife was guiding them: "Exhale, inhale, and use force!"
Si Yingying encouraged them and said, "You guys should use your strength quickly. The sir will be your brother or sister. Let's see who is better."
When the two heard this, they tried hard, and looked at each other from time to time, not wanting to fall behind each other
"The head is out!" said the midwife happily, looking at the other side and shouting: "This one is out too."
Although Mu Peiling was exhausted, he still shouted: "Hurry up, take it out first."
Lan Xiaocui was not behind, and said with all her strength: "My one comes out first, pick me up first."
The two of them gave birth to the child almost at the same time, and the midwife cleaned it cleanly. After looking at the child, she said, "Congratulations to both ladies, both sons."
Qian Xiaoxing was so excited when he heard the crying inside. He created two more lives, and his excitement was beyond words.
After a while, Si Yingying and Shi Yeying each brought the children to Qian Xiaoxing to see. Si Yingying said happily: "Congratulations to Brother Xing, I have two more sons."
Qian Xiaoxing opened the child's thigh and looked at it and said, "It's true that there are little chickens, it's not bad. Ling'er and Xiao Cui are all fine."
"They are all good, now you can go in and see them." Shi Yeying replied.
Qian Xiaoxing walked in quickly and saw that the two women were still pale and their hair was wet. He grabbed their hands with both hands and said, "Wife, thank you for your hard work."
Mu Peiling smiled and said, "It's not hard, I feel very happy to have a baby for you."
Lan Xiaocui also said emotionally: "Brother Xing, we finally have a child, I'm so happy."
"If you like to give birth, then I'll let you give birth to a few more in the future." Qian Xiaoxing laughed.
Mu Peiling suddenly said, "Brother Xing, Xiao Cui and I gave birth to the child at the same time. Do you think that is the brother?"
"Yes, Brother Xing, tell me." Lan Xiaocui asked nervously.
Qian Xiaoxing looked worried when he heard this. There was such a coincidence in the world. The twins came first and then came, and they actually gave birth to them together. Qian Xiaoxing looked at the two girls' earnest eyes. No matter which one is partial, he had to say, "Then let's calculate according to the time of the release, whoever puts it first will be bigger."
When Lan Xiaocui heard this, she immediately replied: "You did it first."
Mu Peiling said dissatisfiedly: "It was my body that was broken by you first."
"Uh..." Qian Xiaoxing was embarrassed again when he heard this, and thought for a while and replied, "Then like this, your baby will be the older brother. It's okay."
The two women thought about it and finally agreed. Qian Xiaoxing said, "You are tired too, have a good rest. I have everything, so don't worry about sleeping."
