"Whoever gets one, gets out of slavery."

His blood-stained hand clenched the weapon in his hand, trembling slightly.

On the martial arts field of Jiangcheng Barracks,

Helanzhen made a false move and jumped out of the circle. He took a breath and raised his hand to stop.

"Qiaosheng, what's wrong with you recently? You've worked so hard. I can't even handle it."

Mo Qiaosheng was naked, sweating like rain, panting slightly. But there was light in his eyes, and he seemed to have endless strength, and he didn't want to stop for a moment.

"Sir, another round!"

Chapter 43

This day is the birthday of Grand Master Yang Su. Yang Su is one of the three princes and the elder brother of Yang Ji, the mother of the Marquis of Jinyue. Therefore, although there was no big banquet in the Yang residence, there was still an endless stream of relatives who came to congratulate.

Yang Su is over fifty years old, and her hair and beard are all white. Because of his upright personality and strong temperament, and his health problems in recent years, he has not been too concerned with state affairs. He only has the title of Taifu, and he is not in charge of any specific affairs.

But at this moment, in the quiet room of his house, there are several dignitaries in power in the court.

Fengchang Zhao Jikao was the first to speak: "For the sake of a Bianzhou, the lord is really determined to raise the army and move the crowd, and the conscription and the new policy have caused a stir in the capital for a while."

"The lord is still too young, full of vigor, and I don't know how serious it is." Shaofu Shi Quan shook his head and said, "On the battlefield, using slaves to fight brave warriors is nothing but one or two. What can it be used for?"

"Those slaves are the property of the lord. If the lord doesn't listen to the advice, what can we do as ministers?" Taibao Wei Shibu sighed, "One piece of slavery. After this battle, the slaves are not dead. , and most of them have lost their membership. The lord is greatly weakening his own strength. At that time, the lord is weak and the retainers are strong, not a sign of rejuvenation. Alas!"

Yang Su listened to their gossip, and remembered the rumors that had been raging in recent days, her heart was irritated, and she frowned: "As the gentlemen said, this matter is very bad, my sister is at the banquet today, and later I told her that this is a serious matter, and asked her to persuade the lord."

Zhao Jikao leaned slightly: "Taifu, I heard a rumor recently, I don't know if it really happened."

"The lord has a new favor, named Mo Qiaosheng, and he is very fond of him. He is lucky every night, and he almost never leaves." He looked around and lowered his voice slightly, "This person is a slave, I heard that the lord The second big fanfare, on the surface, is to support Bianzhou, but in fact it is only for the identity of this person."

Wei Shibu pretended to dissuade him: "Brother Zhao must not speak falsely, how can the lord be such a ridiculous person?"

"Gong Wei, you have also seen, what kind of people are the masters who are reusing when the lord comes back this time?" Zhao Jikao pouted, "Zhang Fu, He Lanzhen, which one is not a young, handsome, romantic and suave person. Poor Duke Han, there is no reason. Being dismissed from the post of internal envoy for the management of millet, such a fat man who manages the country's money bag is so cheap that Zhang Fu's little white face."

Yang Su's face was ashen, she stood up a few times, and went out angrily.

Several people present exchanged glances with each other, showing satisfied expressions.

Cheng Qianye returned to the bedroom and talked with Mo Qiaosheng by his side as he walked.

"Judging from today's visit to the palace, the new policy has been well conveyed, and the effect is much better than we expected."

Mo Qiaosheng followed suit: "The master's move really excited people's hearts. According to my inquiries today, not only the slaves like me were very excited, but the commoners in the field and the commoners in the city were also eager to try, and they came forward one after another. to apply for military service."

Cheng Qianye said with some excitement: "Yes! Unexpectedly, the number of recruits who came to recruit is increasing day by day. I and He Lanzhen step up the training of these newly recruited soldiers and the 50,000 slaves under my name, so that they can be recruited early. A few days ago, I went to reinforce Bianzhou."

One of the servants who was serving in the hall stood aside, dodging and hesitating.

"What's the matter?" Cheng Qianye was in a good mood, sat down and asked.

The Neisheren lowered his head and quietly pinched a jade pendant in his sleeve. It was Xiaohuan, the personal maid next to Concubine Xu in the afternoon, who forced it to him while begging.

He remembered what his fellow villager Xiaohuan had been begging for, and finally summoned up the courage and saluted in return.

"I heard that Concubine Xu has been moving in the afternoon. Does the lord go and have a look?"

Cheng Qianye didn't care, he waved his hand and said, "She gave birth to a child, and I don't understand. What's the use of going? Why didn't you tell Mrs. Tai?"

The Neisheren bowed his head and replied, "Mrs. Tai's elder brother is celebrating his birthday today, and Mrs. Tai went to the banquet and has not returned to the palace yet."

Cheng Qianye looked at Nei Shiren in front of him, there was an anxiety, fear and worry hidden in this person's heart.

Not quite right.

She remembered Concubine Xu's appearance of being afraid and frightened all day long, and she couldn't bear it anymore. She stood up and said to Mo Qiaosheng, "Go, come with me to see the situation."

When she arrived at the Chaowu Palace where Concubine Xu was expecting to give birth, the palace maids who served her on weekdays were all standing in the outer hall, some of their faces were pale, and they were huddled together and shivered. Some are poised, not looking sideways.

Only one of the palace maids cried so much that the pear blossoms brought rain, tied with ropes, and fell to the ground.

Cheng Qianye recognized that she was the person that Concubine Xu served personally.

"What's going on?" Cheng Qianye said solemnly.

Everyone was shocked when they saw her suddenly burst in.

Cheng Qianye did not wait for their reply, and strode straight into the inner hall.

At this moment, in the delivery room in the inner hall, Concubine Xu was sweating profusely, her face was pale, and she was struggling on the couch.

interior headed

is a female officer.

The person was the most useful person by Mrs. Yang Tai's side, the Great Chang Qiu Dui who was in charge of the affairs in the palace.

She gave a wink to a woman who was assisting Concubine Xu in giving birth, and the woman stood up and wiped the sweat from her forehead with her sleeve, "The child is too big, there's really no way to do it, there seems to be only one difference between mother and child. I can save one."

Mrs. Du said coldly: "Concubine Xu, you have also seen it, it's not because we are cruel, it's because you really can't give birth. In order to protect the blood of the king, I can only wrong you."

Concubine Xu was taken aback, she was weak and weak, she struggled to get up half body, with tears in her eyes, she begged: "I also ask the maids to do my best for me."

Mr. Du snorted coldly: "This is the lord's first child, how can it stand the slightest difference, and now you are useless, who is to blame?"

Knowing that Mrs. Yang Tai could not spare her life, Concubine Xu felt sad, but she was pregnant for ten months and was about to give birth, so she wanted to hug her own flesh and blood with her own hands.

She burst into tears and begged: "I also ask my mother to be accommodating and ask my husband to come and see me for the last time. I will ask a few words for this child, and there will be no regrets in death."

"Joke, don't say that the lord is not in the palace now. It is. This is the delivery room, a bloody place. How can the lord come in to see you." Oh, let's do it!"

The woman nodded and held out a plate, on which she placed a pair of sharp scissors and a stack of doily.

Concubine Xu couldn't help screaming and struggling with fear.

Several stout maids rushed up, pressed her hands and feet, and covered her mouth. Concubine Xu's physique was weak and she was in labor again. How could she break free, she had to widen her eyes in horror, and cried out in her mouth.

Madam Wen raised her scissors, came to Concubine Xu, and said, "Madam, don't blame me, you have given birth to an offspring for your lord, the lord and the madam will think of you well, and the little son also has his madam to take care of, so you can take care of you. Go in peace."

About to do it.

The door curtain was thrown open with a bang, Cheng Qianye stepped in one step, and said angrily with a cold face, "What are you talking about!"

Everyone in the room jumped and let go. Granny Wen shook her hand, and the scissors clapped and fell to the ground, shaking uncontrollably.

Concubine Xu struggled to get up. Her face was covered in sweat, and her hair was sticky everywhere. The bedding under her body was soaked with amniotic fluid and blood. She reached out to Cheng Qianye tremblingly: "Husband, husband, please save me, save my life."

Cheng Qianye turned his eyes away, watching the scissors still shaking on the ground, suppressing the anger in his heart, biting his back molars and saying, "Go, pass the imperial doctor."

The servants in the house all raised their heads to look at Mrs. Cui and lowered their heads. Na Na was speechless, but remained motionless.

Mrs. Du came to Cheng Qianye and squatted and saluted, forced a smile, "My lord, this place is a delivery room, you are not allowed to enter, it may cause bloodshed and harm the lord. Please go out first, and it's fine for the slaves to deal with it here. ."

Cheng Qianye got angry to a certain extent, but she stopped attacking. She laughed: "Head Changqiu in the harem? Very good, you come out with me, you all come out!"

Tzuyu hesitated.

Cheng Qianye's face froze, and with a flick of his sleeves, he was the first to leave the house.

Mrs. Cui was uneasy in her heart, and she immediately thought that I was acting on the order of Mrs. Tai. Even if the lord is angry, it is impossible for me to contradict my mother for a concubine. I only need to wait until Mrs. Tai comes back.
