He was the 'Son of Heaven', the favorite of the heavens.
He wanted to jump up and point at the sky and curse, but he forcefully suppressed his impulse and maintained his monarch status. And his desire to have a descendant of his bloodline was even more intense than ever.
Kanggong and the rest hid to the side and did not dare to breathe too loudly. Hearing Zhao Deji's orders, they had no choice but to walk out and kneel down: "Calm down Shangguan Family, Wang Jixian, this slave's medical skills are incompetent, she deserves to die a thousand times for her crimes."
Zhao Deji had already calmed down a bit by now, and felt that he shouldn't lose control of himself, as he slowly said: "Yue Pengju and his wife have served their country with all their loyalty. We would naturally be happy when he has it, but..."
The Emperor saw that other people had sons and he himself wanted to have sons too. He thought that Yue Pengju and his wife must have obtained some kind of secret recipe or found some profound doctor. But, where would he go to find such a secret recipe or divine doctor?
Of course, he did not dare to complain about the difficulties, so he could only obey the orders and leave.
After Kanggong left, Zhao Deji actually became inexplicably happy again, and muttered to himself: "There are so many genius doctors in the world, and it must be because of this mediocre doctor, Wang Jixian, that our hidden ailment can't be cured. If it was any other genius doctor, how could they not be completely healed? If Hua Rong can be cured, we can naturally cure it too! "
When the Kanggong left the palace, he naturally frowned. ~ Could it be that Hua Rong really has some kind of secret formula to give birth to a son? But there was a difference between males and females, so why would she apply?
The two Young Eunuch s who were accompanying him on the road asked him: "Eunuch, are we going to the Xiangyang soon?"
He smiled sinisterly, "I'll think of something later."
When King Qin received the news, it was because he had sent his subordinate to meet the Kanggong at the sea entrance. Kanggong had followed Zhao Deji on many escapes. Knowing that they were in danger, he decided not to buy land and instead exchanged all of his loot for gold, silver, and other expensive painting porcelain.
King Qin received his secret letter and found out that Hua Rong was pregnant. At this time, it was already the end of the year. The setting sun on the sea was blood-red. He stood on the high deck and raised his head to look at the setting sun on the west side. That Little girl, would he never seek death again in this lifetime?
However, looking back more than ten years, things had changed. He and her had truly broken off all ties.
Only now did he completely give up.
After a long while, he rubbed the secret letter in his hand, tore it into pieces, and threw it into the ocean. If Zhao Deji could not get the "secret recipe", and could not produce a son, wouldn't Yue Pengju die?! Hua Rong being pregnant was because of her recovery, but Zhao Deji was inherently impotent, how could he possibly be better? No secret recipe would work.
He looked into the distance and saw that the vast sea was calm. A few dozen miles ahead, a massive warship was being built.
This warship used the core technology of the warship that Yang Me had not completed. As the scale was too big, and he was unable to complete it at the King Qin's lair, he dared to recruit skilled craftsmen from the nearby seas and rushed to finish it overnight. He had not stayed in the cave courtyard for so long for nothing. He had brought back many tools and tools. In addition, the blueprints were ready-made and skillful. After a few months, the battleship had begun to take shape.
After Zhao Deji fled into the ocean, he would tremble whenever the topic of the ocean was brought up. He claimed that he "rose from the seas" and was already thankful for his peace on the land of Jiang-Nan City. How could he have the mind to manage the ocean? As for the plumbing s nearby, they had not dared to venture into the sea again for the past two years. The imperial government had also relaxed and was unable to pay for the journey.
King Qin looked at his own giant ship, and imagined its power when it would fall into the ocean on the day it was completed. He was afraid that even if he looked around the entire world, he would not be able to find another ship like that, and he was very pleased with himself: ", this damned eunuch, with soft legs and shrimp, would not dare to go into the ocean and act up!"
Liu Wu, who was inspecting the supervisors at the front, walked over in large strides. "Great King, it's time."
King Qin nodded: "Alright, let's go immediately."
Behind him, the eight lackeys followed. In front of them, there was a small sailboat parked in the shallow water. Everyone got on the boat, and after sailing for a few dozen miles, they arrived at a small island, and saw a tall five-tooth warship.
King Qin waited until the bottom of the boat before boarding the five-tooth warship.
The sky was dark, the five-tooth warship had already anchored down the mast and the huge lantern at the bow of the ship was taken off, and the King Qin and the rest entered the cabin. Although the outside world was in the middle of winter, the sea climate was not cold. The cabin that was arranged in a very comfortable and luxurious manner was already filled with fine wine and delicious food.
An old man sat on the upper left and was currently reading an astronomical calendar when King Qin walked in and sat in the middle. He laughed loudly, "Third Uncle Yang, why have you come here personally? In this war, the great victory was all thanks to you, old man. "
Third Uncle Yang put down the almanac and looked up. He was already close to seventy years old, and due to decades of pirate life, he had persisted on training his martial arts. He said: "My king, you do not know that this group of bandits have occupied Wang Erqi's island in the past, and have repeatedly harassed us. Although they have been reclaimed, they are afraid that others will imitate them. "I think the King should go back and tidy things up …"
The King Qin had been out for many days, and when some of the islands along the way heard the sound of the wind, they grew restless. As for him, he had been supervising the construction of the ship for more than half a year. Thus, some of the bandits took the opportunity to harass him as they thought he could take advantage of the situation. King Qin thought it was nothing more than a small thief but he didn't mind. He just told Third Uncle Yang to send people to annihilate them.
"Great king, this sea region with a circumference of over a thousand miles. Originally, I accepted you as my master to respect your divine might. However, if you are not here for a long time, it is not enough to deter …"
Naturally, King Qin could tell that this meant that he had been scolding for quite a while, and said "I don't want the beauties to be the mountains or the rivers". He drank a huge bottle of wine, then put down the gold bottle and calmly said: "Yue Pengju's wife is pregnant."
The Third Uncle Yang was overjoyed, "Good, very good. For Yue Pengju to be able to fight well, and now that he has a son, it is even more joyous. " He was naturally happy not only because of Yue Pengju's birth, but because of King Qin's "wife". Since Hua Rong was pregnant, King Qin would completely give up hope this time.
Tian Ya had long feared that the King Qin would continue to wait until the end of the island. Fortunately, the prodigal son turned around, a look of joy appeared on his face, and he picked up Jin Quan, who also drank a cup of wine.
"Third Uncle, I want to patrol for a week while the ship is making progress." What do you think? "
"How much longer do we have left?"
"Three to six months."
"Alright. "I am watching the current and the wind, and when the ship is built and the cruise is completed, it will be a deterrent." "" "
However, the King Qin's goal was naturally not just to intimidate them. He said, "My King, I would like to take this opportunity to gather the forces of the various islands and have a unified plan …"
The Third Uncle Yang was startled. Although the various large islands used to follow the King Qin as the common master, the alliance between them was actually a loose one. It was also because of this that they had watched each other during the sea battle against the Golden Army back then. If they were to be deployed according to King Qin, wouldn't they be able to form a truly powerful army in the sea? He saw that King Qin had obviously thought about it carefully for a long time, and was definitely not the type who was obsessed with women in the past. Overjoyed, he immediately said, "As long as Your Majesty has the ambition, I will naturally support it."
"Alright, then I'll have to trouble Third Uncle with the arrangements." Liu Wu can help you. "
"That's exactly what I mean. "After all, time is of the essence, and I am unable to let others off. I will immediately arrange for this matter …"
That night, the King Qin gathered all the important subordinates for a discussion. It wasn't until the sun was about to rise that everyone went back to their respective cabins to rest.
It was the darkest period before dawn, but King Qin was wide awake. He did not need the small fry's service, so he opened the cabin door and walked to the deck alone. This was the third level of the large ship. Standing here, the wind that blew at dawn brought with it a bit of coldness. He stood there quietly like a metal tower. Not long later, the distant sky started to turn red. Gradually, a red sun began to surge out from the sea, turning the deep black sea into a blue and red color. This was the first time he calmed down and looked at Red Sun's anger. Only then did he realize that there was still such a sense of beauty in the world!
He stood there in silence for a while, then thought of Kanggong's "help". He heavily spit into the ocean: "This birdman Zhao Deji, because he's the emperor, can he do whatever he wants?! I might as well chop off Zhao Deji's dog head someday, so that he won't be so rampant! "
Xiangyang Mansion.
It was the New Year's Eve.
The horse carriage stopped, and Hua Rong stepped on the ground as she arrived at a familiar place. Although it was a land of ice and snow, it gave off a feeling of ancientness. A few personal guards came forward to welcome him. "Yue Xiang Gong, the mansion has been cleaned up."
Yue Pengju nodded, he looked around, only to see that Zhang Xian and his wife were waiting for him, especially Sis GaoSi, who was so shocked that their eyes almost dropped when they saw Hua Rong.
Hua Rong smiled and greeted her. Sis GaoSi had long since rushed over to support her and was extremely happy: "Madame Yue, this servant has prepared a dish for you …"
Yue Pengju was at ease as he handed his wife over to the ladies. He immediately summoned his subordinates to gather for a meeting.
As for the Sis GaoSi and Liuma, they helped Hua Rong return to her residence to rest. When Hua Rong entered the door, she discovered that it was clean and comfortable inside and outside. She wanted to thank him, but Sis GaoSi was staring at her stomach, beaming with joy: "The heavens truly have eyes, Madame Yue, congratulations …"
Heh, thank you Sis GaoSi for taking care of us, you've worked hard.
"Madam, there's no need to be so polite."
Sis GaoSi was truly happy for her. Ever since Hua Rong was injured, she and Zhang Xian had always been worried that the Yue Clan would end up being a "concubine", and now that they saw that Hua Rong was pregnant, all of the troubles were easily solved. Furthermore, Hua Rong had been running around for a long distance, but her face was rosy and white.
Sis GaoSi was an experienced man, sshe immediately imparted her own birth experience to Hua Rong. Although the military camp was bitter, he still prepared some materials to nourish Hua Rong with soup.
When Yue Pengju returned home, he saw four to five dishes on the table. There was meat and fish, it was very sumptuous. The two of them sat down to eat. He asked worriedly, "The weather here is cold, are you used to it?"
"I'm wearing thick clothes, no problem. Peng Quan, how's the situation? "
Yue Pengju took out a piece of Gold and a letter written by Zhao Deji.
