The baby-making system is unreliable

In July this year, the air was exceptionally hot, and the breeze brought a heat wave, making Yizhou even hotter.

"I...I want to see Jiang Liujun. I must see him first before I tell him the truth. I want him to come back, come back secretly!!"

In the dilapidated woodshed, there was a man tied up, unable to move his hands and feet, but his eyes were firm and strong, as if he would die with his eyes open if he didn't see him! !

Ji Yu's fists pounded loudly as he went straight in to beat him, causing all his front teeth to fall out. He looked extremely miserable, and his clothes were already in tatters.

"You bastard, you actually secretly helped Scorpion. Are you crazy? How many people died in war after war because of this? Don't you know?"

Punching him again and again, each punch hitting his flesh, almost disfigured him, but Ji Yu seemed to be still unsatisfied and wanted to step on him a few more times! !

"Bah, if you weren't his elder brother, I would have skinned you alive and hung you up to beat you!!!"

After saying that, Ji Yu turned and left, asking people to keep a close eye on him. After all, this was Jiang Liujun’s family affair, and the one who was injured was his mother.

The thing is, his concubine poisoned Jiang's mother, actually it was aimed at Ji Yu and Jiang Liujun, just to sow discord. Once Jiang's mother was in trouble, Ji Yu, who was in Yizhou, would be suspected of not taking good care of her.

So how can these four cities support each other? At first, they refused to admit it, but it was the old nanny beside Jiang's mother who was open-minded and recalled carefully, and then found the evidence such as the drug residue hidden under the tree.

Until now, Jiang's mother is still lying in bed? ! Fortunately, Jiang's mother is lucky and is now safe, otherwise it would be a life! !

After carefully searching Feng Ying's room, they actually found letters between her and Scorpion. Now the evidence is irrefutable. If they follow this clue, Jiang Shuizhuo will naturally not be able to escape.

After receiving the letter, Jiang Liujun went home to see him. When he saw him, there was no light in his eyes. What else could a prisoner say?

He told his half brother the map of the Scorpion headquarters that he had hidden for a long time. He told it very straightforwardly, so straightforward that Jiang Liujun doubted whether he was sincere.

"Heh... I've always hated you, because of you I've always been the dull and dim me."

The jealousy in Jiang Shuizhuo's eyes can actually be seen directly. He is the second son of Yizhou, and his mother is obviously of a slightly lower status, so she can only be a concubine.

"So? Just to tell me this? Is it meaningful? We already dislike each other, is there any need to say it?"

Jiang Shuizhuo has been working hard to maintain a balance between the two people, trying his best to keep their distance from each other. This is the biggest concession he can make.

"I've always admired you for being so stupid to stay in a place like this. What the hell is this Yizhou? It's a place where no one lives. What is there to defend? People are almost running away!!"

The surroundings were not very clean, and Jiang Shuizhuo looked a bit listless, with messy grass debris on his head, but he almost shouted these words.

Really?! Why is he guarding here!? No one wants to stay in a place like this! He has lived here since he was a child, following his father, looking at his tall body, but worrying about food and grass.

Later, he discovered white hair on his father's head. At that time, he realized for the first time that it was really not an easy thing.

Jiang Liujun just stood there in a daze without saying anything, as if the people in front of him were constantly cursing about the injustice.

"There is no food, no money, no people, and the wind will blow away the sand to make you full. You like to eat sand, you all like to eat sand, you should have run away long ago, nothing will happen..."

What he said is true. What else can you eat here except eating what you want? !

"What's the point of staying here?! It only brings suffering to your father and yourself!"

All these injuries were caused by this ruined city, which gradually made the people guarding here become ruined.

At this moment, Jiang Liujun wanted to refute. This was the city that his father had guarded his entire life. He didn't want anyone to say that he was wrong, especially when that person was his son.

But no matter how much he thought about it, he just couldn't come up with a truly suitable reason.

For the sake of national justice? For the people of Yizhou? For the garrison troops that are still holding on? No one can refute it. The pain that refutation has brought to oneself is real.

"I can't deny that I have been exhausted before. There are so many noble principles, each of which can be a reason to persist, but they cannot be a reason to persuade myself."

It is undeniable that when Jiang Liujun was upset, lonely and in distress, he also thought about his justice! ! Who will give him peace? ? Who will give him peace? ?

"Suffering does not occur because of the region, there are only differences of more or less. We cannot avoid it, and we cannot be sure that suffering will not happen to me if I move to another place."

His cursing voice was still ringing in my ears, but his words were not suppressed, and every word was clear and steady.

It didn't seem like something the giggling little boy would say, but he said it anyway, and looked serious.

He kept cursing, but when he heard his words, Jiang Shuizhuo smiled bitterly like a madman, and looked at him as if he was a fool or a freak.

Jiang Shuizhuo suddenly stood up and rushed to him, grabbing the corner of his clothes tightly, and yelled again: "Father is a good father, you shouldn't follow in his footsteps... You shouldn't spend your life like this, in a place like this..."

"Run!!"

The two words were spoken very softly, so that only he could hear them, and his eyes revealed a desire for the outside world.

Jiang Shuizhuo wanted to escape, escape from Yizhou, but he didn't dare, he couldn't do it.

Before he could react, the "arrogant" brother in front of Jiang Liujun collapsed in front of him, fell straight down, and died with blood gushing from all seven orifices.

It seemed that he had taken poison beforehand, or was poisoned. Perhaps from the moment he decided to help Scorpion, that person had no intention of letting him go.

"I... won't run away. The imperial court can't support my horse, so I'll find someone else to support it! The soldiers of the four cities are united, and one day we can drive out the foreign invaders and make them dare not invade our territory again!!!"

This place is where my father's soul rests, and he watches over every piece of land here.

This is where he grew up. He has already traveled to every corner and knows every inch of land like the back of his hand.

There is nothing wrong with this place except the lack of food! Nothing wrong with it!!

"I can't run away. Once the external threat is eliminated, I will change this place, this piece of yellow sand!!"

Jiang Liujun sneered with mixed feelings. He collected the body for his brother, but he was more clear than ever about what he should do.

……

Maybe it was because the wind this year was too hot and dry, making the people from the Sixth Department of Bian Shu more and more impatient. Over the past month, their offensive became more and more fierce, and it was rare to see irritability on everyone's face.

At this time, Yicheng actually didn't send any imperial edicts! ? I still remember that when the four city garrisons were rotated at the beginning, the interrogation orders sent to the mansion were enough to fill up the desk of Ji Mansion.

I guess other places have received a lot, especially the elder sister of the Wu family and the younger brother of the Jiang family. Maybe the court thought that they were easy to control because one of them was a woman and the other was young? Or maybe they were just fooled and thought that they were obedient and well-behaved! !

To be honest, Wu Qingjiang is arrogant, bold, and hot-tempered. How can she obey? It's better to say that the sky is falling, maybe she can still believe it!

Jiang Liujun looks young, but he is very smart. He either pretends to be crazy or stupid in front of the court. When asked, he just says he doesn't know. What's it to you?

"The court is in chaos right now. Ye Yi looks kind on the surface, but he's actually quite bold."

Ye Lin held Jingnuo in his arms and coaxed him, talking about the things happening in the capital. The news that just came this morning said that His Majesty had been poisoned.

Gently patting his daughter in his arms, the look in his eyes when he looked at little Jingnuo was so tender. It took him quite some time to learn how to hold a baby, and once he held her, he refused to let go.

Little Jingnuo blew bubbles from his mouth from time to time, and his little face opened a little. Like his brother, except for his eyes, which looked a bit like Yun Xirou, the rest of them looked like a carbon copy of Ye Lin.

This place is quite far from the capital. No matter how fast his news spread, it would have taken him five or six days to be poisoned by the time it reached him.

"He was the one who poisoned me? But if His Majesty dies now, then he won't be able to take the throne?!"

As Yun Xirou spoke, she held Jingcheng in her arms, changed his diaper, and put him on the bed, patting him and coaxing him.

"Wait... is he... trying to frame someone?"

As she spoke, Yun Xirou paused in her movements, looked up at him, and saw him nodding under her gaze.

That was his father. Ye Yi really dared to do this. If he was found out, he would be dead!

"That Ye Chen is not a good guy either. Empress Feng is very worried about who will take over the throne. Haha..."

Ye Lin sneered. That woman was very ambitious, otherwise she wouldn't have come this far. She might even want to become an empress.

Unfortunately, Concubine Chen was not idle either. She joined forces with the ministers in the court to impeach the Second Prince, all of which mentioned some ridiculous things about Ye Chen.

"The government is in chaos right now, so naturally there is no time to take care of the affairs of the four cities. This is... a good thing for us!"

The little guy seemed to be disgusted with Yun Xirou for standing there and not playing with him. He waved his hands to express his dissatisfaction and uttered a few simple syllables.

"Okay, okay, mom is here, don't make a fuss!"

Yun Xirou came back to her senses, looked down at the child, and teased him with her fingers, and he stopped making a fuss.

"No, how did you coax her to sleep so quickly? How did you do it?!"

As soon as he lowered his head, little Jingnuo in Ye Lin's arms had fallen into a peaceful sleep, and he would lick his lips unconsciously from time to time.

Yun Yurou was unhappy, and looked at Xiao Jingcheng with doubtful eyes, why didn't Xiao Jingcheng fall asleep so quickly? They were born from the same belly, so why was there still a difference?

I heard Ye Lin's low laugh, and in a blink of an eye, Ye Lin had put his daughter on the crib and hugged her waist out of habit.

"Don't you have to discuss matters with your husband this afternoon? Stop... moving your hands and coax your precious son to sleep!"

Yun Yirou slapped his dishonest hand coquettishly, her cheeks slightly red, with a bit of shyness and anger in her eyes. She gently pushed Ye Lin away, trying to make him stop the intimate behavior.

However, Ye Lin did not show any intention of retreating. Instead, he hugged her tighter, with a wicked smile on his face: "Don't worry, it won't be too late to go later. Now, I just want to hug you tightly."

As he spoke, his hands began to become restless again, stroking Yun's back, causing her to tremble.

There was a hint of fatigue in Ye Lin's eyes. He didn't bother her. He just hugged her, smelled the familiar scent on her body, and closed his eyes to rest peacefully.

"My precious one is not my son, but you. Without you, where would they come from?"

He said this so spontaneously, without any blushing or beating of heart. Just say whatever you want to say.

Yun Xirou sighed helplessly and glared at him. Seeing how tired he looked, she still asked distressedly, "Do you want to take a nap? Take a break at noon?!"

Seeing him shake his head, I turned around to look at the child's tiny body, curled up in front of me, blinking his big eyes.

Yun Xirou coaxed the child gently, and after a while, little Jingcheng finally fell asleep in Yun Xirou's voice.

……

The meeting room was filled with smoke. It was really hot in the afternoon, and people tend to get lazy when it's hot. People were talking intermittently, mostly talking about building horse trails. They were thinking about building horse trails between the four cities.

If it can be built, the journey can be shortened by at least three or four days. The mutual trade previously discussed with Bozhou has now begun to show results. Money is no longer a problem. This is good news for them.

"Xuanbo can provide some money for the construction of the horse road. Now the key is how to do it quietly? We can't let Bian Shu know that we are building the horse road!!"

Old Xie was smoking a pipe, and there was always smoke around him. He was a former counselor of the Ji family in Aozhou. Now that he was old, he just liked to smoke.

Shi Yubai took a sip of tea and frowned. After listening to his words, he said, "If we want to do it quietly, we can only do it during the truce. I think if this is done in winter, it will be difficult for the workers to start work."

"Well... what do you think? Should we repair it with all the fanfare? If we do this... won't we be discovered?"

"This is a matter of great importance, and the project involves a long distance. It is only a matter of time before it is discovered. For now, there are two options. The first is to wait until the war is completely over before starting the project. By then, no one can stop us!!"

Everyone knows this. If the war could be stopped directly, naturally no one could stop it.

"The second option is to start construction at the risk of being discovered. Of course, the result may be that you are caught off guard or even fail."

"So? The first path may require timing, and the second path is too risky."

Ye Lin shook the folding fan in his hand, supported his head lazily, and looked at Shi Yubai with a smile.

"So, I don't recommend starting construction at this time! It will take time and effort... and even more manpower."
