The baby-making system is unreliable

The six tribes of Bianshu were unified by Muji not long ago, and the news has just been reported back. Not only that, he also gathered 300,000 troops from Bianshu to besiege the four cities of Yongao and Duanyi.

The news came from General Wu Qing of Duanzhou, who had led 100,000 cavalrymen to provide support, and the first country to engage in battle was Yizhou.

Jiang Liujun was the first to fight against Ajib. He was defeated in two battles and was seriously injured. Fortunately, his deputy general Hui Ye was smart and risked his life to bring him back from the battlefield.

This Ajib was also a fierce general. He was the son brought up by Mu Ji himself. He was physically strong, bold in using troops, and he liked to attack the enemy by surprise.

If nothing unexpected happens, this will definitely be a tough opponent, and this battle may not be resolved in a short time.

The second elder brother Yun Guangbo returned to the military camp that day. The fourth elder brother followed the orders of his father and brothers to deliver the baggage and went back to the city once. Judging from his expression, he might not be easy to deal with.

According to the spies, Ajibu's right general has been stationed outside Yongzhou City, and the battle is imminent. It is common for a large army to attack the border, but I didn't expect it to be so early this time, and the winter snow has not yet completely melted.

In the past, it wouldn't be this early. Moreover, he had just unified the border, so how could he still have supplies? Unless... someone was supporting them?

The battle situation is ever-changing. According to past practices, even if there is a major war, everyone will do their job and everything will remain in order.

The wind was blowing and the clouds were rolling outside the window, and it was getting dark inside the house even during the day. Yun Xirou had a feeling that this battle would last for a long time.

But there are more important things at the moment. Ji Shuang is wondering why Yizhou lost. There must be spies in the army, otherwise why would something go wrong suddenly?

"Don't worry, Second Sister-in-law. No news is good news. Sister Wu will lead the troops to help. Everything will be fine."

Several people took turns to comfort him, but the second sister-in-law couldn't let go of her younger brother. Her face was full of anxiety. How serious her brother's injury was, Wu Qing didn't give details in the letter.

At this time, He Yu sent a message saying that there was a problem with the food and fodder in the army. The soldiers ate unclean food, which caused the problem.

Ye Lin glanced at Yun Xirou, found an excuse and left the house immediately. It seemed that he had to get rid of those antiques as soon as possible.

"First, we need to replenish the army's food and fodder as soon as possible, and then we will set off today. We must deal with those scoundrels in Xuanbo."

The soldiers cannot be allowed to fight on an empty stomach. He will take this opportunity of the military ration incident to investigate those who are feeding the tiger with their own bodies. He will not tolerate treason and collaborating with the enemy.

On that day, the snow had not yet melted, and the city was covered in white. There were not many people on the street. A brown horse pawed the ground and cleaned its hooves in the snow. Two people and one horse walked slowly on the street, bidding farewell reluctantly.

Yun Xirou, dressed in red, saw him off out of the city. Her long hair was tied with a red rope. The wind blew through her hair, gently blowing on her unmade-up face.

"I'm thinking about you and the child while I'm away, so I'll be back as soon as possible. Ji Shuang said she wanted to go back to the army as soon as possible. There's no one in the mansion, and I'm afraid you'll be bored."

Ye Lin held the reins with one hand, looking at the person in front of him reluctantly, and said earnestly: "If you want, stay at your mother's house. I don't want you to travel back and forth. When the time comes, I will go directly to Yongzhou to pick you up. Just take care of yourself."

His daughter, Airou, had always been delicate and fragile. He couldn't bear to let her suffer and didn't want to be separated from her for even a moment.

Ye Lin slightly turned sideways and held her in his arms, smelling the faint fragrance of her hair and hugging her tightly.

"Okay, I'll wait for you to come back, but Ye Lin... don't look at other women on the road, not even for a second."

Yun Yirou buried her whole face in his chest, craving for the warmth in his arms. After a while, she stretched out her hand to hook his cheek and whispered softly.

"Then let me look at you a few more times, and I won't be able to tolerate anyone else. Okay?"

I raised my head slightly and met his affectionate eyes. I felt a warm feeling on my forehead. It was the kiss he gave me when we parted. When I came to my senses again.

He had let her go, jumped on his horse, looked back every few steps, and finally his figure disappeared in the snow.

"Miss, let's go back. Everyone has gone far away. My son-in-law told us to stay in Yongzhou, so let's stay in Yongzhou."

Now that there is a war, the road may not be safe. What's more, there is no one at the Ji family's house, so it is useless to go back.

"Hongye, look, it's snowing." Yun Xirou stretched out her hand to catch the falling snowflakes. The snowflakes eventually melted when they encountered the heat, leaving only a slight chill.

"We are like the falling snow, just a drop in the ocean, drifting with the current. We have no control over where we will end up, so we can only struggle hard, looking for a path that we must take even if it is full of difficulties."

She knew that the battle to defend the city was about to begin, and the four cities would be attacked on a large scale. But what she could do was limited. Yun Yurou couldn't stand on the battlefield and say anything. Don't fight, people will die.

You can't just say go ahead and kill everyone, and then we'll all die together. If you do that, won't you be considered a lunatic?

The best way to end a war is actually to defeat the other side so that they can hear your voice.

"Miss?! Why do you say that?"

Hongye was stunned for a moment, but then he thought about the return journey of tens of thousands of soldiers, and it seemed to be true.

"Let's go back to Aozhou. Aozhou has its own intelligence network. We can know the battle situation, Xuanbo, and even Yicheng's news at the fastest speed."

Yun Xirou had made up her mind. Since that was the case, the family had to agree no matter how reluctant they were. If a war broke out, the brothers would probably be away from home for a long time.

There was nothing the sisters-in-law could do, and worrying all day might affect her pregnancy, so Lin Yuexue agreed.

On that day, Yun Xirou took all the secret guards back to Aozhou. Ji Shuang took a shortcut back to the military camp. Her father and brother still needed her. When she left the city, she looked far to the west. Nearly a hundred miles to the west, there was yellow sand all over the sky.

Han Yue looked at the girl who was staying there and couldn't help asking, "Girl, is there anything wrong?"

"Nothing, just thinking about something. Let's go back quickly, father is waiting for us to return to the camp."

Ji Shuang withdrew his gaze, turned his horse and walked towards the winding path, thinking to himself: Will he be okay?

……

This battle was fierce. Heavy snow blocked the roads in the mountains, but the official road was still passable. Ye Lin led a team of people along the official road.

Only ten miles outside the city, there were spots of bright red blood on the snow, and scattered corpses were lying on the ground. The scene was a horrible sight.

The broken goods on the snow were looted till there was little left. A pair of eyes were hiding behind and watching the group of people silently.

He Yu drew out his sword and stood on guard, protecting Ye Lin: "Master, I will go check what happened nearby."

Before Ye Lin nodded, a pair of dark hands stretched out, with black and red bloodstains, gently shaking in the void, and a weak voice sounded: "I... I know, save... save me!"

Where did this pair of hands come from? Oh, uh... the owner of these hands is the owner of the eyes hiding behind. With the master's approval, He Yu dismounted and rescued the man.

"Who are you? Why are you here? Can you tell me now?"

The man's moon-white clothes had long been torn to pieces, and his hands were cracked with deep and long bloodstains. He took several gulps of strong liquor and coughed several times before he recovered.

"I... am Shi Yubai, Shi Yubai from the Shi family. I'm here to look for someone. I... want to go to Aozhou, which is the closest to here. I..."

This person turned out to be the famous Shi Yubai in the capital, the legendary exiled immortal? What had he been through? How did he become like this?

Ye Linfei got off the horse, took two steps forward and squatted in front of him. The folding fan in his right hand gently tapped his left hand, and a cold and arrogant voice sounded: "Oh? Who in Aozhou are you looking for? I am familiar with Aozhou?"

Shi Yubai is a person of character. If he didn't have any ability, he wouldn't be admired by everyone. However, no matter how good a person is, he is useless if he can't be used by him! !

"I... I'm looking for the young master of the Ji family! I... cough cough cough, I want to seek refuge with him. Do you know him?"

His voice was not loud, and he had no strength to speak, but every word he spoke was clear. His eyes had not lost their character, and he still looked like a scholar full of pride.

"Oh, what a coincidence, I really know him? But aren't you afraid that I'm his enemy and will take the opportunity to kill you?"

Upon hearing his background, Ye Lin smiled softly, stood up and fanned himself, as if thinking about whether to keep him.

"Ahem... I'm not afraid. Since you saved me, it doesn't matter if you kill me again. It's freezing here anyway, and I'm so badly injured that I can't run away."

When he was leaving Xuancheng, he was chased by Ding Xiaoguo and his right hand was cut. He finally followed the caravan out of the city, but he encountered bandits on the way and all his money was robbed.

All the caravans around him were killed. He was lucky enough to be hacked, but before he could react, he was hit on the head by the goods and fainted, escaping the disaster.

He lay alone in the snow for two days, and opened his eyes again an hour ago. Before he could rest, he met Ye Lin and his group, which was really unheard of.

Shi Yubai's body was so stiff that he couldn't move. He was almost unconscious from being frozen. The blood on his forehead had already dried up, and his entire face was dirty.

"You... are Young Master Ji? Ahem... right? Ye Lin! Or should I say His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, hello!"

As soon as these words were spoken, He Yu suddenly put the sword to his neck, as if he would take his life as soon as the young master opened his mouth, and make him bleed to death on the spot.

"He Yu, please do not be rude to the gentleman. Make him a pot of hot wine to warm him up. Everyone, please rest here. You must have worked hard on the journey."

At the moment they only brought horses and the conditions were very difficult. They could only understand the situation first and then ask a doctor to take a look in the city.

"How do you know I'm the former crown prince? How do you prove your worth? Since you know my identity, you should know that I don't support idle people!"

Ye Lin narrowed his eyes slightly, boiled a pot of hot wine and took a sip, wanting to hear what changes he could bring.

"Ahem, I met the second son of the Ma family at the underground auction house in Bozhou. I have known him for a long time, but although he is a merchant giant in Bozhou, he rarely does business in the open."

Many years ago, the Ma family suffered a great change. Only the second son of the Ma family, Ma Xuanjin, fell into a pond and managed to survive by following the flow of water.

After so many years of development in Bozhou, he and Ding Xiaoguo from Xuanzhou are the two giants of Xuanbo.

One of them was smooth-talking and witty, making Bozhou bustling with traffic; the other one was ruthless and rude, making Xuanzhou a place where everyone was insecure and fearful.

However, under the intimidation of Ding Xiaoguo, there are still some daring desperadoes who dare to go along with him.

Ma Xuanjin's business gradually moved to the open, and he began to take the initiative to provoke Xuanzhou, which was not his style.

He is used to being patient, doing things in a smooth and decisive manner without leaving any handles. He only wants to dominate the market. Over the years, although the backgrounds of the two places are complicated and confusing, they have always kept to themselves.

Now, it can only be said that the people behind him want to take action. Shi Yubai has been traveling abroad for many years, and he knows the customs and habits of various places better than anyone else. He personally escorts a caravan to Aozhou at least once a year.

Is there something that he must go to personally? Actually, it is not necessarily the case, it can only be said that there is someone who must be seen!!

When he left Beijing, his master Yao Wenjin's instructions were still in his mind. If he could not guess it again, he would be ignoring his master's teachings over the years.

Ye Lin patted the snow on his clothes, turned slightly to look at him, "Yes, you are very smart. Your master is Yao Wenjin, he can be regarded as my uncle, but few people know it."

"I see. Your Highness, if that's the case, aren't you asking me how to prove my worth?"

There was a hint of determination and firmness in his voice. Shi Yubai spoke very seriously, and there was a gleam in his eyes, as if a flame was burning.

"I can help Your Highness recapture Xuanzhou. I can help Your Highness finish this game of chess with the whole world as its chessboard!"

The group entered Xuanzhou and acted openly in the guise of merchants.

Their purpose was simple, to sneak into the tea party held monthly by Ding Xiaoguo. As long as Ye Lin could get close to him, they would be sure to kill him.

There is still about half a month before the next tea party. Before that, Ye Lin needs to meet another person, Feng Honghui, the governor of Xuanzhou.

It was a dark and windy night, a perfect time and place for murder and arson.

"You... who are you? How did you get in?!"

Feng Honghui was late at a social gathering and staggered home drunk. He squinted his eyes and looked at the person in front of him with a blurry look.

"You... who are you?" Feng Honghui asked again, with a hint of vigilance and confusion in his tone.

He tried to concentrate, but the alcohol was dulling his mind. He staggered toward the room, trying to light the lamp.

When he entered the room, he found it was pitch black, and he groped forward, hoping to find a light.

Suddenly, he felt a cold wind blowing, and his body couldn't help shivering. He felt a strange atmosphere permeating the air.

At this moment, he saw a figure standing there through the gauze. This person was dressed in white, with a slender figure and elegant temperament.
