Chapter 173 Jing Zhuo gave birth to twins

Around them, several maids were shaking uncontrollably, like dead leaves swaying in the autumn wind. Their helplessness and fear made them look nothing but weak and useless in Li Kun's eyes. A hint of disdain appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he sneered in his heart.

After saying this, he raised a cruel smile, which sounded particularly harsh in the silence. "Don't forget, my father has led a large army here, and the peace here is at stake. Do you really want to involve innocent people in this turmoil in public?"

As he spoke, he suddenly pulled the terrified Jing Qiudie closer, with the cold muzzle of the gun pressed tightly against her back, "If you don't believe me, I'll kill a chicken to scare the monkeys!"

"And you, shout louder so that Lord Wei can hear how many innocent people are going to die because of him."

"Help... Help, I don't want to die yet." A maid began to cry and shout.

Li Kun's mouth curled up in a satisfied arc. Just as he was about to complete the life-or-death move, his finger had quietly pulled the trigger, but at this moment, something unexpected happened.

A maid suddenly pulled out a small object and shot him several times.

Not only him, but even his men who came in were all shot to the ground by the pistol.

These maids all looked very weak, but they could actually shoot and seize every fleeting opportunity.

Li Kun was shot several times, one of which hit him right in the chest. He lay dying in a pool of blood, his eyes wide open, and he said unwillingly, "You...you plotted against me."

He schemed against others all his life, but ended up dying because of someone else's scheme.

The people who stayed in the mansion were all trained, and each of them carried a weapon in case of emergency, which happened to be used today.

The maids were still frightened, and when they saw a person moving on the ground, they fired several more shots until the person was reduced to a bloody mess.

One of the maids immediately opened the door and let Wei Songhan and the others in.

Seeing the situation in the yard, Wei Songhan was speechless.

"..."

The soldier next to him praised: "I didn't expect you to be so brave."

Wei Songhan also discovered that these weapons were so small that it did not affect their lethality at all.

"Where is Jingzhuo?"

"In...in..." The maid stuttered and couldn't make any clear words.

Jing Qiudie said calmly, "Zhuo'er is ill and cannot see anyone. Thank you, Lord Wei, for coming to rescue him in time. Now that Li Kun is dead, his father, Li Qian, will definitely not let it go. He still has many people under his command. Lord Wei must not take it lightly."

Wei Songhan looked at the woman in front of him. It was impossible for an ordinary woman to have such knowledge. She must be no ordinary person either.

What she said made sense, and Wei Songhan immediately dispatched troops to fight.

When he came, he brought several thousand officers and soldiers, but found that the situation in Yazhou area was far more serious than he had imagined. Li Qian had at least tens of thousands of soldiers and horses under his command. With so few people, they didn't know if they had any chance of winning.

Now we can only win by wits.

Wei Songhan's expression changed constantly, but Jing Qiudie continued to speak calmly, "Reinforcements will come from the sea. By then, we will form a siege. Li Qian's troops will surely be defeated under this double attack."

"Reinforcements from the sea?" Wei Songhan frowned, his mind filled with doubts.

They did not bring any naval forces with them on this trip. Where did this sudden maritime force come from?

"Those are the heroes from Zhuo'er Water Stronghold. Although they are not under our command, they have sincere hearts and are willing to cross the waves to help us. Lord Wei, please consider their noble intentions and do not harm innocent people."

In the past, colluding with people from the water fort would be a serious crime.

But now is an extraordinary period, and Wei Songhan dare not take any risks. Seeing Jing Zhuo taking so much pains to collect evidence and directly eliminating Li Kun, he should betray them for the time being.

The only option he had was to unite.

Suddenly, a woman's shrill wail came from deep in the backyard, like a sudden cold wind in the night, which made Wei Songhan's heart suddenly tighten and his brows unconsciously frowned.

"What is this sound?"

Jing Qiudie replied calmly, "Master Wei, don't worry too much. Perhaps it was just a minor injury to a maid in the mansion. I will go and check immediately to make sure everything is fine. You can just focus on the important matters at hand. I will do my best to maintain the peace of the mansion."

She was also worried, after all, this was a critical moment in delivery.

The original date of production was supposed to be ten days later, but for some reason Jing Zhuo started it ahead of schedule, at such a critical juncture.

Wei Songhan did not leave. He looked around and made sure that he had been here before.

It is very likely that everything in his dream that day really happened, and he really had physical contact with a woman.

Is that woman still hiding here? He glanced at the maids around him, and saw that they were cowering and wanted to hide directly, but they did not give Wei Songhan a familiar feeling, so it was definitely not one of them.

"Can I go to the backyard and take a look?" Wei Songhan asked again.

Jing Qiudie shook her head. "To be honest, someone in my family is giving birth. Sir Wei, it's really inconvenient."

Wei Songhan could only give up, "I see, this is a major event in life, and we should respect it. Then I won't bother you anymore. I will arrange for someone to ensure peace here. Goodbye."

After he left, Jing Qiudie finally breathed a sigh of relief and hurried to the backyard.

"How is it, is the baby born?"

At this moment, the cry of a baby was heard, "One came out, and another one."

In Jing Qiudie's arms was stuffed a tightly wrapped little girl, who was looking at this strange world curiously with her black eyes.

Half an incense stick later, Jing Zhuo gave birth to another boy. At this moment, she was exhausted.

Jing Xiangxue immediately gave her a bowl of ginseng soup to replenish her strength, and she fell into a deep sleep, thinking with regret that she would never give birth to a child again, and coming back in such pain that she was dying was simply not something a human being should do.

There was a war outside, but their courtyard was peaceful as ever.

When Jing Zhuo slowly opened his eyes, he saw Jing Qiudie's concerned face. The latter softly recounted the sudden crisis just now, with a bit of relief in her tone: "If it weren't for those clever maids' quick response, I'm afraid I would have died here."

"How could that happen? We have been prepared for this. There is no way any accidents could happen."

Jing Zhuo's gaze gently brushed over the two soft little lives beside her, and an indescribable sense of miracle surged in her heart. She really couldn't imagine that these were children born from her body.

Moreover, one is a girl and the other is a boy, a boy and a girl, which is a pair of twins, so it is very lucky.

Jing Qiudie added: "Just now, Lord Wei heard the commotion in the backyard and insisted on breaking in, so I found a reason to stop him."

Jing Zhuo hesitated slightly. Except for her, no one knew who the biological father of the child was.

She also had no intention of letting anyone know, not even their biological father.

This production was also unexpected, but fortunately all the materials were ready.

She had no breast milk, so she could only feed her baby with formula, and using diapers saved her the trouble of washing diapers.

Jing Zhuo had not been lying in bed for a few days before he was able to walk again.

After hearing the sad news of his beloved son's tragic death, Li Qian was furious and vowed to repay blood with blood and make the murderer pay the price he deserved.

This flame of revenge not only ignited Li Qian's heart, but also quietly changed the direction of the entire situation.

Jing Zhuo knew very well that it was not advisable to stay here for long.

Now is a good time to evacuate. Li Kun is dead, and there is chaos and battle outside. They can take advantage of the chaos to escape.

Jing Xiangxue asked worriedly, "You've gone through the pain of childbirth, and you should be resting now, but you have to embark on this bumpy journey."

"Mom, saving your life is more important now. Besides, I can still hold on."

Under the cover of Wei Songhan's soldiers and the Chihuo Army, they boarded the ship and prepared to head to Nanzhou Island first.

On the way, she also met Zong Yan and his group. They were driving a well-made warship towards the shore. They should be the best at fighting at sea.

When Zong Yan saw Jing Zhuo with disheveled hair, he was shocked for a long time, "It turns out that I mistook Jiang Nianwei, and now I mistook you. It turns out that you are also a woman."

Jing Zhuo had never expected that in their normal interactions, he had never discovered that she was actually a woman.

He glanced at the two tender babies tightly held in the arms of the maids beside him, crying loudly, "These... could these be your flesh and blood? When were they born quietly, and I had no idea?"

"Give birth when you have time."

Zong Yan was amazed in his heart. A pair of babies were born silently, which made him, a lonely man, extremely envious. He wondered when he could live a life with a wife and children and a warm bed.

"Where's the child's father?"

"No father."

"..."

Zong Yan was extremely shocked. He knew Jing Zhuo was brave, but he didn't expect it to be so big.

"Without further ado, everyone, set off quickly to provide reinforcements. Lord Wei has not shown any hostility yet, but the world is unpredictable. Remember to withdraw as soon as the situation settles down and return to our water fort safely."

"Don't worry, I understand the pros and cons of this matter. I will act prudently, protect myself, and live up to your trust."

They returned safely to Nanzhou Island. After not having been there for many days, the place had become a paradise.

As soon as Jing Zhuo got ashore, people surrounded him. A part of the Red Fire Army was stationed here to ensure the safety of the place.

Back on the island, they no longer have to worry about the war outside.

There are defenses around Nanzhou Island, and outsiders cannot easily set foot there. There are dozens of artillery batteries on the shore, so even if you want to invade, you have to consider your own strength.

Jing Zhuo could rest assured to recuperate here. There were other people to help take care of the child, so she didn't have to worry.

In just ten days, Li Qian was defeated. Although they had muskets, they were all defective products designed by Jing Zhuo to deal with this day.

The news of the rebellion of the Li family in Yazhou also reached the ears of Baili Jingyao in the capital.

"Master Jiang is indeed very good at predicting things. Fortunately, we arranged for the staff early, otherwise, we don't know what would happen."

The Li family was dealt with, and Jiang Nianwei finally felt relieved and no longer had to worry about the safety of her family.

Now she had to plan step by step to make the emperor in front of her step into the abyss.

……

Jing Zhuo originally thought that he could live a peaceful life on Nanzhou Island for a while, but he didn't expect that Wei Songhan would find the island by himself.

Jing Zhuo immediately asked the mother to take the child and hide somewhere else, while he changed into men's clothes and went out to deal with the situation.

"Why is Lord Wei here in person?"

"Jing Zhuo? Have you recovered from your illness?"

Wei Songhan discovered that compared to the past, Jing Zhuo had a more strange temperament.

He couldn't help but keep his eyes on him, examining him closely.

"Thank you for your concern, I am much better now."

"I left in a hurry that day and didn't have time to thank you. Thank you for helping me back then. Now I have something I want to ask you about."

"If I can help, Lord Wei, just let me know."

Just as Jing Zhuo finished speaking, he heard crying sounds not far away. The two little kids, who had been quite well-behaved before, kept crying for some reason.

Jing Zhuo's eyes began to wander, she was worried that the child was feeling unwell.

Wei Songhan was obviously attracted by the crying of the child. "When I left that day, I heard your aunt say that someone was giving birth. I wonder who it was?"

After he left that day, he began to recall and calculate carefully what happened that night. It has been exactly nine months now. Could it be that the mysterious woman gave birth to his child?

"Sir Wei, this child was born to my concubine." Jing Zhuo could only use this excuse to prevaricate.

"I see."

It's him who worries too much.

Indeed, how could it be possible that what he thought was just as he was possessed by a demon?

But when he looked at Jing Zhuo, he had mixed feelings. Human emotions cannot lie.

Why did he fall in love with a man?

Even when the sea breeze blew, he took off his coat and put it on the man, "It's cold outside, Brother Jing should go back first."

Jing Zhuo was secretly rejoicing in her heart and was about to go back when she found that Wei Songhan was still following her. She didn't know what this man wanted to do.

"Master Wei, are you not leaving?"

"Are you going to chase me away now? I want to visit your home." His voice was still indifferent, but it could not be refused.

Jing Zhuo continued to explain: "This is my aunt's home, not my home."

Wei Songhan ignored her and continued walking towards the house not far away. "This house is quite strange. I have never seen anything like it. It seems to be built with coral reefs and shells."

Before Jing Zhuo could say anything, his aunt and mother came back, each holding a baby.

"Zhuo'er, the children are hungry. I have to go make milk powder for them. There is also pig's trotter and soybean soup in the pot. You can help yourself to a bowl and see how it tastes."

Jing Xiangxue was holding the child and did not notice that there was a man following Jing Zhuo. It was not until she saw Wei Songhan that she became surprised and fell silent.
