Chapter 313 Going Home
After all the hassle, the midwife had already been lost along the way.
Seeing Su Li's visible pain, Nanny Li's heart hardened.
"Let's go to the delivery room! Lao Fei, you stay here and I'll deliver the baby!"
Songzhi said in a trembling voice:
"Mammy, is that okay?"
"Why not? I helped in the delivery room when my wife was born. It's possible!"
Nanny Li was also frightened!
But no matter whether it works or not, we have to rush into it now. Fortunately, Mr. Fei is still around, which is a reassurance!
"Go boil some water!" Li Ma Ma screamed.
Songzhi and Songtao have already taken people to work.
Nanny Li instructed Pei Heng again, "Why are you still standing there? Hurry up and pick up Madam and take her to the delivery room."
Lian Rong didn't have the strength to do that. She went forward to pick him up but she couldn't lift him up no matter how hard she tried.
"Liancheng!"
At this time, there was no time to worry about the differences between men and women. Lian Cheng was stunned for a moment, put away the knife, and ran to the delivery room with Su Li in his arms.
Nanny Li glared at Pei Heng and stamped her feet in hatred:
"Waste snack!"
Lian Rong was so upset that she couldn't say anything. She hesitated to follow, but was pushed away by Li Ma.
"Get off!"
My daughter has suffered so much with him, but he's completely useless at this critical moment! I can't hit her! I can't even hold her! What's the point of having him? Why don't you just get out of the way and stop being an eyesore?
Liancheng came out of the delivery room, looked at his sister who was at a loss, and patted her shoulder helplessly.
Heart-wrenching screams were heard from the delivery room.
Xijie'er was so anxious that she kept pacing outside the door.
Huang Yiwen was visibly nervous and excited, running between the courtyard gate and the two ends of the room, shouting:
"It's so exciting, so exciting!"
Aunt Lu held Lu Chang's hand and stared at "Pei Heng" at the door in panic.
She always felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't put her finger on it.
Mingmin kept her lips tightly pursed as she watched everything in the yard. Suddenly, she opened the gate and rushed out.
"where you go!"
Huan Ge'er took a quick step and grabbed Mingmin.
"I'm the one who caused all this trouble. I'm leaving so that your family can be safe."
"What nonsense are you talking about!"
Huan Geer pointed to the mountain below where flames were shooting up into the sky and the sounds of fighting were getting closer and closer.
"This isn't just your problem anymore. I saw clearly that they were soldiers from the Quanzhou Camp, fighting under the pretext of suppressing bandits. They have no intention of letting anyone on the mountain go today!"
"Then, what should we do?"
Mingmin burst into tears. She didn't expect that she had brought disaster to Su Li's family. Listening to her aunt's painful cries coming from the delivery room, she really regretted it.
"I shouldn't have asked Auntie to save me. I could have gotten rid of them on my own sooner or later. It's me who's dragged you down! Wuuuuuuu!"
Huan Ge'er patted her back.
"Now is not the time to cry. We need to find a way to escape!"
He said with a turn of his eyes,
"Come! Listen to me!"
Down the mountain, even if the Pei clan's secret guards were one against a hundred, they were no match for the well-trained assault of hundreds upon thousands of regular soldiers. Their defenses were quickly broken apart, and the enemy gradually closed in on the villa.
In addition, the raging wildfire has spread across the prairie.
Everyone couldn't help but think that tonight might be the last battle.
"Swear allegiance to the general till death!"
"I swear to defend the Madam, the Master, and the Young Lady to the death!"
The gathered remnants were all covered in blood, but their morale remained undimmed! Their earth-shaking roars frightened the soldiers of the Quanzhou camp across the way so much that they dared not move forward!
In the villa.
"Ugh!"
A clear cry pierced the night sky.
Then Li Mama burst into tears of joy and cried, "It's born! It's born! It's a little boy!"
Su Li felt like she had been submerged in water, her clothes soaked. She struggled to her feet, looking at the small, plump ball in Li Ma's hand, and the breath she had been holding finally vanished.
"Madam! Madam?"
Songzhi saw Su Li fainted, wiped her tears, and quickly calmed down.
"Hurry, help the lady clean up. Pick up the little boy, we have to find a way to escape quickly."
……
The mountain wind was raging, making it destined to be a thrilling night.
……
On the official road heading south.
The sound of horse hooves was rapid.
A group of people traveled day and night, galloping south.
The big black horse in the lead is majestic. No matter how the people and horses behind chase it, it always runs in the front, and is as eager to return home as its owner.
After Li Gan's death, the rebels were defeated. Pei Heng and Prince Su took advantage of the victory to recapture Liang Province and Gan Province, and pursued Tuoba Rao all the way to the border.
All the thousands of miles of territory were recovered.
Emperor Tuoba Hong of Beimang panicked and sent a letter to the Nanqi court overnight, requesting peace talks.
Emperor Jingde issued an imperial edict to Prince Su, asking him to cease fighting immediately.
If not for this, based on Pei Heng's temperament, Nanqi's army would have crossed the border and headed straight for the Beimang royal court.
The border ceasefire was over, and what followed was endless peace talks. Pei Heng could no longer stay, so he explained to Prince Su and quietly left with his guards.
At this moment, there are only two words in his mind -
Come back home!
"General, we are about to reach Quanzhou."
Behind him, Helan Yue roared in a rough and loud voice.
"At this rate, we'll be at the villa by noon. Damn it, I'm going to have a good meal, take a hot bath, and sleep soundly for three days and three nights! Hahahaha!"
They slept only two hours a day during the journey, following the general day and night. Fortunately, they were all tough men, used to marching and fighting, and could easily stay on horseback for more than ten days.
"Easy to say!"
Pei Heng roared happily in the dim light of dawn,
"I'll have my wife book the most expensive restaurant in Quanzhou. There'll be plenty of wine and meat. You can eat as many days as you like!"
Pei Heng's heart leaped with joy at the thought of seeing Ah Li at noon. He calculated that Ah Li's due date was still more than half a month away, so he rushed back early to give Ah Li a surprise.
He would stay by A-Li's side every day from then on, eating, sleeping, and going to the delivery room.
Hahahaha!
He has even thought of a name for the child!
My name is Pei Le!
Joy, happiness, and joy! All!
"General!"
Behind him, Helan Yue, Qin Chuan, Qi Min and others shouted in unison.
The sun was blazing.
They were exhausted and stopped to rest at a teahouse.
"Have you heard? Last night, a wildfire burned all night in the Qingyuan Mountain area, alarming people within a hundred miles. Right now, the fire hasn't been put out yet and is still burning!"
"I heard that the Quanzhou Battalion went up the mountain to suppress the bandits! A distant cousin of mine is serving in the battalion, and I heard that they mobilized thousands of soldiers!"
"What kind of bandits are they? So powerful that they need to mobilize thousands of soldiers?"
"Who knows? Who dares to ask about government affairs..."
As soon as Pei Heng sat down, he heard a few villagers chatting next to him.
"Qingyuan Mountain?"
Pei Heng's eyelids twitched.
The tea house that Ah Li bought was located in Qingyuan Mountain, which was also the destination of their trip.
He couldn't sit still any longer. Without even drinking a sip of water, he rushed out of the teahouse, jumped on his horse and galloped away.
