I'm playing tricks in Daqin

Seeing Zhongli Shengnan and Qinger's maids each holding a baby, Li Wei couldn't help but feel a little bit guilty despite being pleasantly surprised.

After watching him drink a bowl of delicious ginseng chicken soup, the aunts let him go and left happily, and Li Wei had time to get together with his wives and concubines.

"Master."

A group of wives and concubines headed by Kong Rong bowed down and gave blessings together.

Li Wei was very troubled by the cumbersome etiquette of the ancients, and he also told his wives and concubines that it does not need to be so complicated, but Kong Rong and other women thought that there is no rule, so he had to let them.

Although the old society was evil, he felt quite good as a member of the powerful class. Forget about those modern women who stand up and liberate women who can hold up half the sky. .

"Ah."

He responded vaguely, and stretched out his hand to hug him, but Qing'er and the others all shrank back in a panic.

It's not that they don't want to, in order to please their husband, they often satisfy all kinds of weird and ridiculous demands of him, but the premise is that there is no one else, and they are intimate in front of a group of maids, so how can they feel bad? "Uh... let's just hug my daughter."

Li Wei didn't hold any of them, so he had to reach out to hold his daughter. When he went from Jindu to Pingtangguan, he had already learned that Zhongli Shengnan and Qing'er had both given birth to daughters. , the eldest girl's name is Ning, and the second girl's name is Jin.

The daughter-in-law gave birth, and she didn't stay with her, but ran to Jindu for Feng Ling'er, and she felt somewhat guilty.

The two maids holding the baby hesitated for a while before handing the baby to Li Wei. However, the faces of the two girls were full of nervous expressions. The young master of his own family was very good at everything, even if he seemed clumsy when holding the baby, he returned it with one hand. Hugging one, can it make people nervous and worried?

The two baby girls are pink and cute, and they are sleeping with their long eyelashes closed. Li Ning, who is sleeping soundly, seems to feel something, and suddenly opens his eyes, staring at strange faces with big round eyes. Grinning his mouth, he began to cry and howl, the loud voice startled Li Wei a lot.

"Cheng Nu don't cry, dad will hug you, Cheng, don't cry."

"Wow……"

When Li Ning cried, Li Jin also woke up and burst into tears, which made Li Wei flustered and coaxed the child non-stop. The more he coaxed the child, the more he cried.

Li Wei smiled awkwardly, let the maid take the child away, let alone give them a hug, the child stopped crying immediately.

Zhongli Shengnan and Qing'er looked at each other, and they both heaved a sigh of relief in their hearts. They were pregnant almost at the same time, which made the father-in-law and the mother-in-laws so happy that they almost went crazy. They waited every day to have a grandson, but unfortunately they gave birth to Daughter, let the father-in-law and the mother-in-law very disappointed, and also make them feel ashamed and uneasy.

This is a society where men are superior to women, and having a daughter is nothing short of human rights. The two of them were very worried about their husband's displeasure, and blamed them for not being up to date. Fortunately, the husband didn't care at all, as if he loved his daughter quite a bit, which made them feel guilty and uneasy. reduce.

"You all leave."

Li Wei waved away people, of course those who chased away were the maids, with them present, the ladies were naturally shy and refused to make intimacy in front of them.

Kong Rong and other girls couldn't help but their cheeks flushed, and they all lowered their heads, while all the maids covered their mouths and snickered, exited wisely, and even closed the door.

"Do you miss your husband?"

Chapter 286 Wronged

With no one else present, Li Wei's true nature was exposed. He smiled and looked at the shy ladies with jade cheeks.

Seeing him stretching out his hand, all the girls stretched out their hands in unanimous agreement, pushing Kong Rong forward, covering their mouths with low smiles, each finding an excuse to slip away.

Who doesn't want to be favored by the husband?

It's just that Kong Rong is the original wife and the owner of the backyard of the Hussar General's mansion, so this rule must be followed.

Although Li Wei wanted a bowl of water to be flat, the three cardinal principles and five constant rules had already been deeply ingrained in the hearts of the girls, and there was no way to change it, so he had no choice but to let them go.

"Sir, warm water is ready."

Qing'er, who was wearing her hair bun with the symbol of a woman, said in a low voice, she is still the personal maid beside Li Wei, but no one in the mansion dares to treat her as a maid, what she lacks is just a ceremony , seriously enjoying the treatment of the young lady.

Li Wei grinned, holding one in each hand, it doesn't matter whoever serves first, anyway, he has a lot of capital, and he has also practiced "Nine Suns Magic Art", so no one will be cold.

Qing'er was both ashamed and pleasantly surprised, her bright and clean cheeks were full of touching blush, according to the rules, she should be the last one in line, but looking at the current posture of Xianggong, it is likely that she is going to play something that makes people blush and heartbeat again. It's absurd, but... she likes it.

It is said that a small farewell is better than a newlywed, and this is true. In the past few days, Li Wei has plunged into the gentle village, enjoying the infinite warmth of his wives and concubines, and he is so happy that he doesn't want to go out.

Of course, after the court was over every day, he was able to visit his godson, check his godson's homework and other excuses to slip into the harem to comfort the Empress Dowager Concubine Wu Hui and Yun'er. In the middle, it is also involuntary.

It is said that the land of gentleness is the tomb of heroes, but he doesn't care much about being a bullshit hero. He would rather die drunk in the land of gentleness and be a romantic ghost.

However, the mountains of official documents need to be dealt with, and the battles in Pingtangguan and Zhuangxian fortresses must be paid attention to at all times. The logistics and transportation must be unimpeded. Fortunately, the division of labor between father and son is clear, his father takes care of government affairs, and Tian Ce Wen Zishan and other loyal civil servants and advisers share a lot of work, so he can be so carefree.

"My lord, please forgive me."

In the hall, an old man in black and gray clothes was frightened, begging for mercy desperately.

"Uh, Forbe, you are..."

Li Wei was stunned. Uncle Fu is an old general who has followed his father for many years. He is very good at flying knives. For a loyal general like him with great martial arts, Li Gang sent a large number of them. Watch the nursing home for Li Wei.

After Li Wei came back, he accidentally took a look in the prismatic bronze mirror, and found that he was thinner, tanned, and seemed to have grown a little beard.

People are thin because of the side effects of gold juice war. It’s okay to have a tanned skin. Tanned skin makes you red. Your hair grows so long that you can tie it up like a woman. You have to comb it every day, although it’s very troublesome. Fortunately, there are people serving him, so he can still accept it, but this beard makes him feel a little uncomfortable, so he asked Fu Bo, who is very good at throwing knives, to help him shave it off.

If he wanted a razor, he wouldn't bother Uncle Fu, but he didn't expect to say it, and Uncle Fu was so scared that his face turned pale, and he knelt down and kowtowed for mercy.

"Msgr.... I can't... I can't..."

Kong Rong, Zhongli Shengnan, Zhuang Xi, and other goddesses rushed in in a panic, and they all knelt down one by one, making Li Wei dizzy all at once.

"Uh... what's the matter with you?"

Li Wei quickly stretched out his hand to help him, he still hasn't figured out what's going on.

"You... what's the matter?"

Li Wei had a big head, he forced one up, but the other knelt down again, as if the sky was about to fall.

"Oh, my little ancestor, what kind of trouble are you doing, do you have to force my aunt to kneel down and kowtow to you?"

A group of aunts also came after hearing the news, but before they saw anyone, the voice had already been heard. It was the voice of the fourth aunt who always had a broken mouth. The machine-gun-like bursts of fire made Li Wei feel like a bucket.

"Wei'er, why can't you think about it?"

He glared at Xiao Liuzi, it must be what this guy said that alarmed Kong Rong and other women and all the aunts, but, what is the reason?Although he was not happy with this guy, he still cast a questioning look, what's going on?Little Six couldn't help being stunned, young master, you made such a big commotion and you don't know the reason?

He didn't understand whether the always clever young master was confused or just pretending to be stupid, but he still raised his hand and made a gesture of stroking his beard.

This is... er, beard?Seeing Little Six's eyelids drooping, Li Wei knew he had guessed right, but shaving his beard didn't seem to be a problem, so why did such a big fight happen?Uh, wait, he remembered, when he browsed the forum, he saw a post about the ancients growing beards, and there seemed to be a saying, "Your body, hair, and skin should not be neglected by your parents. "

Now, he finally understood what was the reason.

After figuring out the reason, Li Wei admitted his mistake decisively, saying that he must have lost his head at the time, and patted his chest to promise not to make similar mistakes again. He turned his tongue and sprayed several large basins of saliva , just now coaxed all the older ladies to leave at ease.

All the concubines also left tactfully, only Kong Rong was left behind, Qing'er, the personal servant, was also left to serve, and the little six tactfully waited outside.

"Master..."

Kong Rong's dignified bowing and blessing ceremony, as the first wife, she is in charge of all affairs in the mansion, the husband suddenly couldn't figure it out, she had a certain responsibility for such a frightening move.

"Rong'er, I'm sorry..."

Li Wei stretched out his hand to hold her in his arms, his face was full of apology and pity. On the surface, the matter was settled, but afterwards, Kong Rong would inevitably be scolded and wronged by the aunt Su Yuejiao and all the aunts. The person is her.

"It's my concubine's fault, please punish me..."

Kong Rong was so moved that her phoenix eyes turned red, and tears flashed. She knew in her heart that she had to bear this grievance, and she had no choice at all.

The two just hugged each other, listening to each other's heartbeat, and the quiet room was filled with a warm atmosphere.

Li Wei suddenly felt that the person in his arms seemed to be getting weaker and weaker, and his breathing became more and more rapid. He worried: "Rong'er, what's the matter with you, are you sick?"

Kong Rongyu blushed and said in a shy voice, "Rong'er wants...to give birth to a son for Mr. Xiang..."

Uh, it turned out that such a thing made him nervous for nothing.

Li Wei laughed and said, "Okay, then let's make villains now."

"Ah... now?"

Kong Rong was taken aback. She was anxious to have a son, but she had to wait until night, right?

It's broad daylight...

Chapter 287 I'm Not Here

The war between the Qin and Tang empires continued, and the fierce offensive and defensive battles at Pingtang Danguan Pass and Zhuang County Fortress continued. The Tang army attacked fiercely, and the Qin army defended with all its strength, causing heavy losses on both sides.

Although the Tang army attacked fiercely regardless of the cost, the Qin army also defended tightly. The battle fell into a stalemate, and it was difficult to tell the winner in a short time.

The sudden war between the two empires attracted the attention of all the empires on the mainland. The so-called long-term unity must be divided, and the long-term unity must be united. The outbreak of war between empires for their own interests is as normal as drinking plain water. The empires that are far away only pay a little attention. The empire paid full attention to it, and strictly guarded the border area to prevent Chiyu from being affected.

Of course, it is necessary to assemble a large army on the border. Sometimes, benefits will fall from the sky, and it is easy to fish in troubled waters.

According to the information sent back by secret spies lurking in various empires, the Jin Empire, the most powerful on the mainland, has assembled troops in the Binzhou area, and a large number of warships are moored at Lijiadu Wharf, but it is not known whether the target is the Qin Empire or the Tang Empire?

According to the analysis of Tian Ce and Wu You, the two military advisers, the Jin Empire's change is more likely to target its own empire. After all, Tang is strong and Qin is weak, and the weak Qin Empire is easier to bully.

Furthermore, the Qin Empire and the Jin Empire were only separated by a river, and the distance was the closest. Compared with the naval fleet going down the river, it was much easier to storm the dangerous pass of the Tang Empire in Yiwu.

The Zhou Empire also assembled a large army on the border between the Zhou and Tang empires. It can be understood as strengthening the defense, or it may be fished in troubled waters at any time, but in any case, this move made Tang King Jili feel the pressure and had to deploy a large army. Respond at the border to prevent accidents.

Located in the northeast, just across the river from the Qin Empire, the Wei Empire, the weakest national power, also had a change. It even gathered a large number of troops and naval warships in the newly built Sioux City. It seems that the always timid King Wei also Started to feel a little restless.

Li Wei knew that once the empire was defeated, the Jin and Wei empires would definitely send troops to attack across the river and take advantage of the chaos to carve up the empire's territory.

Fortunately, after the capture of Zhuangzhao Er County, the land transportation has been opened up, and there is no need to use the navy to carry the army and military supplies. At present, it is only necessary to take strict precautions, and the defense of the river is enough.

Of course, once the battle situation collapses and the situation is bad, it will be difficult for the strength of the navy to stop the all-out onslaught of the Jin and Wei empires. Strengthen the defense of the three border gates.

Li Wei believed that the Pingtang dangerous pass could be defended, but to prevent problems before they happen, various arrangements were still necessary.

According to the report of the senior secret agent lurking in the Jin Empire, the army led by Mingzhu defeated the Jin Empire army in a row, killed more than [-] enemies, and seized a large amount of military supplies, more than [-] good war horses, and millions of cattle and sheep. Wang Duobudu sweated profusely from the beating, even if there were millions of people who controlled strings, they did not dare to fight, and Mingzhu will return home triumphantly in a few days.

Because of the brilliant victory of Mingzhu, the nobles who have the right to speak in the Jin Empire were greatly stimulated and even jealous. They also wanted military exploits and reaped benefits, and the battle between the Qin and Tang empires made them think that the opportunity had come. Not only these dignitaries, but even the ambitious King Jin couldn't sit still. It can be said that the victory of Mingzhu made the dignitaries of the Jin Empire go crazy.

Sending troops is a final matter, as for fighting the Qin Empire?Or the Tang Empire?Or another empire?

The dignitaries have different opinions, and the attacking Qin faction is the loudest. The reason is as analyzed by Tian Ce and Wu You, who regard the weak Qin Empire as a fish belly.

Opposition to attacking Qin is not small, and the reasons given are sufficient. Over the years, due to various reasons, the navy has been neglected to develop, and the warships are outdated. During the war of the century, some warships were damaged. In a water battle, he lost to Jiayue Li's navy.

Don't forget, they only defeated the imperial navy with the navy of a province before. Although they were only facing one-third of the warships of the imperial navy, they were defeated if they lost. Jiayue Navy's Thunder Cannon The horror of power still makes the sailors who fled back after the defeat tremble with fear.

If you want to cross the river, you must first defeat the huge naval fleet of others and control the river in order to transport the infantry ashore continuously. Who dares to puff their chests and guarantee that they will be able to defeat the powerful naval fleet of the Qin army in a short time?Now, the Li family has taken over Chang'an with a strong force, ending the separatist regime in which the prefects of the provinces supported their troops and listened to the instructions but not the propaganda. The navy has also developed to a certain extent. What about elite infantry?

If you can't cross the river, you can't land and fight, that's all empty talk.

The imperial court of the Jin Empire was full of quarrels, and Li Wei was not interested. Anyway, the defense arrangements were all done. As long as you dare to cross the river, I will sink your navy.

Of course, he didn't want to fight on multiple fronts, that would be too fatal, and he couldn't hold it with all the strength of the empire.

However, he still told the people in the Military Intelligence Department to pay more attention to the faction of the Jin Empire that attacked Qin. A female disciple trained by Suju.

Li Wei was extremely afraid of Xuan Suju, who regarded himself as an enemy. From this incident alone, it can be seen that Xuan Suju's influence in the elite class of the Jin Empire was already so great that it could influence the court.

As soon as Xuansuju was mentioned, he couldn't help but think of Mingzhu again. The mainland goddess of war who had never been defeated once again achieved impressive results outside the Great Wall, and will return triumphantly in the near future. He didn't want to be on the battlefield with Mingzhu one day Against, grandma, you have a leg, God won't be so cruel, right?

While cursing God for making fun of people, he thought of Feng Linger, who was snatched away by Tang Su'e and still has no news. Although he fought against the Tang Empire, he still let the military intelligence department lurking in Jindu County... The spies secretly searched for the whereabouts of Feng Linger and Tang Su'e, and even ordered Zhang Fenghua, who was sitting at the foot of Qifeng Mountain to secretly monitor Xuansuju, not to take any assassination actions for the time being, so as not to scare the snake away. .

At this time, the offensive and defensive battles at Pingtang Dangerous Pass and Zhuang County Fortress are still going on, and the major empires are also secretly dispatching troops and gathering troops, and the shadow of war once again covers the mainland.

On this day, on the surface of the river located in the Shaoguan section of the Qin Empire, there was a small friction between the river cruisers of the Qin and Jin empires. With the continuous joining of the river cruisers from both sides, the small friction turned into a melee. The large, medium and small warships also marked the outbreak of the war between the Qin and Jin empires.

The naval warships of the two sides were fighting fiercely on the broad river. Ding Tai, the commander of the Shaoguan Navy of the Qin Empire, sat on the commanding ship, commanding the battle with a calm expression, and his thin black face was full of confidence.

If it is a foot battle, facing the most powerful Jin Empire on the mainland, he will not dare to attack lightly, and will stick to the city and wait for reinforcements, but if it is a water battle, he is not afraid of any opponent, not to mention the combat power of the imperial navy is not weak , Since the installation of the extremely powerful Thunder Cannon, which can be called the artifact of water warfare, the combat power has made a qualitative leap. It once beat the navy of the Jin Empire to the ground and fled in defeat.

Just a few days ago, the empire's first iron-clad battleship that had just entered the water was incorporated into his Jiayue naval fleet and became his ship. Now, he wants the navy of the Jin Empire to pay for the power of the iron-clad battleship .

The surface of the river is full of dark warships, with sails like a forest, and the sound of roaring and killing resounds through the sky. The warships on both sides are fighting desperately. battleship.

Before the two sides were in close combat, the Thunder Cannon sank seven or eight large and medium-sized warships of the Jin Army. Ding Tai commanded his own ship to break into the formation of the Jin Army Navy first. The cone pierced through the enemy ship, then backed up urgently, and then made a surprise attack. After several collisions in a row, the hull of the ship broke, and the river flooded back, and the Jin army was sunk like a battle. impact.

After losing more than 50 large, medium and small warships, the Jin army sailors fled back to Lijiadu in embarrassment. The river was full of dead bodies and pieces of wood, as well as struggling sailors calling for help.

Chapter 288 Marriage

The river was crowded with warships of the Jiayue Navy, and the soldiers unscrupulously caught the sailors of the Jin Army who were struggling and calling for help. These sailors also knew that their navy had been beaten and fled in embarrassment. Get shot or sink into the river to feed the fish.

The soldiers are all poor people, and enlisting in the army is just to make a living. Loyalty to the empire is all bullshit. Saving life is the kingly way. The more than 2000 Jin army sailors who were struggling on the river and calling for help were honestly taken as prisoners.

In this battle, the Jiayue navy won a complete victory. Ding Tai led the navy to approach Lijiadu to challenge. The Jin army's navy stayed in the navy's camp, no matter how much the Qin army yelled and scolded, they would not fight.

There are a large number of thunderbolt chariots erected in the water village. Ding Tai was not dazzled by the victory. Seeing that the Jin army's navy did not fight and the sky was getting dark, he had to withdraw his troops and return to the camp.

The Jin Empire's undeclared war against the Qin Empire shocked the mainland. However, what is surprising is that the Jin Empire, which is known as the most powerful country in the mainland, was beaten up by the Qin Empire, which ranked second to last. This is a big joke sent.

For this battle, the empires reacted differently, most of them were ridiculed and gloated, and some ambitious kings could see from it that the formerly powerful Jin Empire had fallen, and it was just a bluff and a bluff.

The defeat of the Jin army's naval division made all the Jin Empire's court attacking the Qin faction lose their voices. They became angry and demanded that the Jin king severely punish Su Mu, the naval commander who was ineffective in fighting.
