Chapter 698 Shen Yutong’s practice!

Looking at Pei Zhixiu's serious expression, although Ye Mingsheng felt that he was not in any serious trouble, he was a little panicked in his heart. He smiled and asked:

"Jisu, I just have been working too much recently and lack of exercise. After this period of time, I will have no problem resuming exercise..."

Listening to Ye Mingsheng's words, Pei Zhixiu looked at Ye Mingsheng deeply and asked softly:
"Are you going to fight in Hebei and Henan?"

Seeing Pei Zhixiu asking this, Ye Mingsheng hesitated for a moment and nodded. Pei Zhixiu frowned slightly, but she knew that she couldn't stop Ye Mingsheng's idea, so she immediately bent over the desk and wrote the prescription. After a while, she handed the prescription to Ye Mingsheng and carefully instructed:
"Husband, your health problem is that your blood circulation is not smooth and your body is blocked. You only need to resume your normal routine, exercise every day, and get enough sleep, and you will be able to recover your health!"

"Medicine is three-quarters poisonous. I shouldn't have prescribed medicine for you, but you are going to Jiyu to work hard, so I prescribed you a prescription to replenish your qi and calm your mind, and to dredge your qi and blood. Give this to Ye Cheng and ask him to send someone to boil the medicine on time."

Taking the prescription from Pei Zhixiu, Ye Mingsheng took a closer look and saw that Pei Zhixiu had written on it the medicinal materials Schisandra chinensis, Lycium barbarum and Codonopsis pilosula. In addition to accurately recording the quantity of the medicinal materials, Pei Zhixiu had also very considerately written down the precautions for decocting the medicine.

Seeing this, Ye Mingsheng felt warm in his heart, and he casually called Ye Cheng in, handed the prescription to him in front of Pei Zhixiu and said:
“Just finding things to do for myself…”

In response to Ye Mingsheng's rebuke, Ye Cheng carefully put away the prescription and said seriously:
"Your Excellency, the safety of millions of soldiers and civilians of the Fengwu Army depends on you. Your health is of utmost importance and must not be harmed!"

As soon as Ye Cheng finished speaking, a graceful woman walked into the room. Looking at Ye Mingsheng in the room, a subtle gleam suddenly appeared in her eyes, and then she bowed to Ye Mingsheng very respectfully and said:
"I have met my husband!"

Ye Mingsheng was a little surprised to see the appearance of the goddess Shen Yutong. Although Shen Yutong often came to see Pei Zhixiu before, she almost never came again after she gave birth to a child and realized that Pei Zhixiu did not like her very much. Therefore, it was really surprising that she appeared here today.

Looking at Shen Yutong who lowered her eyebrows and looked pleasing to the eye, Ye Mingsheng nodded and said:

"Get up! How come you have time to come to Jisoo today?"

Facing Ye Mingsheng's question, Shen Yutong said calmly:
"Jingcheng has been blowing bubbles from his mouth these past few days. The medical school said there is nothing wrong, but I am still a little worried. I just happened to hear that Sister Pei came back from the clinic early today, so I wanted to ask Sister Pei about this problem!"

Although it felt that the reason why Shen Yutong appeared here was not as simple as she said, but Jingcheng was his child after all, so Ye Mingsheng also looked at Pei Zhixiu. Seeing this, Pei Zhixiu also asked calmly:

"Does Jingcheng have any symptoms of coughing or shortness of breath?"

Shen Yutong thought about it for a while, shook his head and said:

“There is no such symptom…”

Pei Zhixiu heard this and said seriously:
"When a child is three months old, the amount of saliva will gradually increase. However, because the child is still too young, his swallowing function is not fully developed and he cannot swallow the saliva. Therefore, in the absence of symptoms such as coughing and shortness of breath, spitting bubbles is a normal behavior!"

"Mr. Cheng from the medical school is an authority on treating children's illnesses. Since he thinks there's no problem, then Jing Cheng should be fine!"

Although he didn't quite understand the question, seeing that Pei Zhixiu's answer was well-reasoned, Ye Mingsheng nodded secretly. Shen Yutong, who got the answer, saw that Ye Mingsheng and Pei Zhixiu had no intention of keeping him, so he tactfully said goodbye and left.

As it was getting dark, Ye Mingsheng decided not to go back to his study to work, but to have dinner with Pei Zhixiu. Pei Zhixiu cooked the dinner herself. It was a simple meal of four dishes and one soup. There was no big fish or meat, just simple vegetarian dishes, such as scrambled eggs with tomatoes, stir-fried yam with black fungus, cabbage with mushrooms, cabbage with vinegar, and a cabbage and tofu soup.

Although there was no meat, Pei Zhixiu's cooking skills were quite good, which made Ye Mingsheng, who usually had wine and meat, feel that the meal was different. After the meal, Ye Mingsheng accompanied Xiao Jingxuan and spent a rare parent-child time.

Among Ye Mingsheng’s three sons, Jingren, born to An Miaoyi, and Jingcheng, born to Shen Yutong, are similar in character. They are both lively, very naughty, active, crying and making trouble.
But little Jingxuan is different from his two brothers. Like his mother Pei Zhixiu, he is very quiet and doesn't cry or make a fuss. The only thing that makes people speechless is that the little guy seems to be very interested in his own hands and feet, and often puts his hands or feet into his mouth to chew them.

This made Ye Mingsheng a little suspicious. Is it because Pei Zhixiu is a vegetarian, so her milk is different from normal milk and may lack some nutrients? Therefore, Xiao Jingxuan may also get this possible nutrient by eating his hands and feet?

Late at night, Ye Mingsheng also planned to sleep in Pei Zhixiu's room. He had been sleeping in the study for the past few days and had not been satisfied. There was nothing going on originally, but when he felt the scent of Pei Zhixiu in her ears just now, Ye Mingsheng couldn't help but want to have sex with his wife. Unfortunately, today, Pei Zhixiu's relatives happened to come.

Although Pei Zhixiu acquiesced to Ye Mingsheng running a red light, Ye Mingsheng still rationally refused for Pei Zhixiu's health. Seeing that Ye Mingsheng cared about her so much, Pei Zhixiu felt warm in her heart. She immediately thought of something and said to Ye Mingsheng very considerately:
"Husband, why don't you go to Shen Yutong's place tonight..."

"Huh?" Ye Mingsheng, who was about to lie down to sleep, asked in surprise;
Pei Zhixiu stood up and found Ye Mingsheng's clothes. She whispered:

"You are such a heartless person, you still don't understand why Shen Yutong came today?"

"Shen Yutong is also very determined. She started to get back in shape before she even finished her confinement after giving birth!"

"And did you look at Shen Yutong's tongue last time you visited her? She has been practicing hard these days, maybe she wants to give you a surprise! I heard that she can now untie or tie a small rope in her mouth!" Hearing Pei Zhixiu say this, Ye Mingsheng couldn't help but feel moved, thinking of Shen Yutong's unusual little tongue, and he unconsciously felt a little too excited. Seeing this, Pei Zhixiu rolled her eyes at Ye Mingsheng and then reminded him:

"Go quickly! I still have to take care of Jingxuan in the second half of the night. He always cries in the second half of the night these days, and I still have to take care of him. Then you, my husband, will not be able to sleep well again!"

Although Pei Zhixiu acted very generous, Ye Mingsheng also declined for a while, and then he walked out of the room reluctantly. When he left the yard, Ye Cheng whispered in Ye Mingsheng's ear:

“Sir, I just cried when Madam Shen left!”

Ye Mingsheng didn't take it too seriously. He just felt that Shen Yutong, who was a famous opera actor, had not wasted her talent as she had performed so many roles.

But it doesn't matter. I will go and check the results of her practice during this period of time...

"What is the situation in Shangzhou now?"

In a mansion in Shenzhou City, Xu Zhaojie asked Liu Zhaohu beside him:

In response to Xu Zhaojie's inquiry, Liu Chaohu immediately reported:

"According to the scouts in Shangzhou, the Fengwu Army has mobilized a batch of red cannons from the rear. Now they have concentrated at least a hundred cannons in Shangzhou, bombarding Shangzhou day and night! That Yuan Song seems to be bombarding the city with artillery instead of soldiers!"

After these words were spoken, although Xu Zhaojie's expression did not change, his right hand was clenched tightly while sitting on the chair. Over the past six months, on the one hand, he spent a lot of money to hire craftsmen to study artillery, and on the other hand, he tried every possible way to get the Zhengdong Cannon from Shangguan Hongyuan.

Part of the reason for going north to support Shangguan Hongyuan this time was to obtain thirty Zhengdong cannons and several thousand Shenwu guns from Shangguan Hongyuan. However, even so, the Zhennan Army under Xu Zhaojie only had more than sixty cannons.

In order to compete with Ye Mingsheng this time, Xu Zhaojie not only sent out most of his veteran elite soldiers of the Zhennan Army, but also arranged a special mule and horse transport team to bring fifty of the more than sixty Zhengdong cannons from Shouchun...
At the beginning, Xu Zhaojie was still very confident with these fifty Zhengdong cannons, but as he fought with the First Army, he gradually discovered that the number of red cannons owned by the First Army alone exceeded fifty, not to mention the entire Fengwu Army.

When he realized this, although Xu Zhaojie was deeply shocked, he could still accept it. After all, there was a certain gap between the artillery of both sides in terms of quality and quantity, but the gap was not so big that he could not fight. He could concentrate the artillery and use the steel to the best effect!

But the fact that Yuan Song used a hundred cannons to attack Shangzhou still exceeded Xu Zhaojie's expectations. Although he knew that the Fengwu Army had a lot of cannons, he did not expect that the Fengwu Army could be so extravagant as to use a hundred cannons to attack Shangzhou. This was really crazy.

Under such bombardment, can Shangzhou really hold out for a month as it wished?
Just when Xu Zhaojie had such doubts in his mind, Liu Chaohu hesitated and whispered:

“I heard that in order to capture Shangzhou, the Fengwu Army specially transferred a kind of siege artillery that they used when they attacked Yujing. It is said that the firing rate of this artillery is very slow, and it takes half an hour to fire one shell. It is also very inconvenient to transport. However, this kind of heavy artillery is very effective in siege. It is said that a hole is about to be blown in the wall of Shangzhou...”

Hearing this news, Xu Zhaojie couldn't help but close his eyes and secretly made the worst plan in his heart!

After a moment, he asked again in a deep voice:
"What's going on in Yijing?"

Looking at Xu Zhaojie's gloomy expression, Liu Zhaohu hesitated for a moment and said truthfully:
"The Ninth Division of the Fengwu Army stationed in Yijing has already headed south, and there is news that the Fengwu Army will personally bring the Ninth Division to Hebei and Henan!"

As soon as these words came out, Xu Zhaojie suddenly opened his eyes, looked at Liu Zhaohu and said very seriously:

"Can you say that again!"

Xu Zhaojie's action frightened Liu Chaohu. Under Xu Zhaojie's terrifying gaze, he mustered up the courage to whisper:

"There is news from Yijing that Ye Mingsheng will come to Hebei and Henan with the Ninth Division and personally command the battlefield in Hebei and Henan. The Fengwu Army has not officially announced it yet, and our spies are working hard to confirm this news!"

Hearing what Liu Zhaohu said, a murderous look emerged in Xu Zhaojie's eyes, and his gaze was also looking towards the direction of Yijing in the north across the tent. After a cup of tea, he slowly regained his composure. Although he wanted to sever the deep hatred with Ye Mingsheng and settle the grudge between the two of them···························

But reason told Xu Zhaojie that given the current strength comparison between the two sides in the Hebei-Henan battlefield, he did not have the chips to counterattack and fight Ye Mingsheng.

Now the only thing he and his Zhennan Army can do is to grit their teeth and hold on until the last moment under the protection of the city!
Faced with the Fengwu Army's absolute superiority in manpower, artillery, and cavalry, he had no capital to counterattack, and a counterattack at this time would undoubtedly lead to his death even faster!
Thinking of this, Xu Zhaojie couldn't help but sigh secretly. Five days ago, he learned the news that the Luoan Imperial Army had captured Pingrong County. He was deeply encouraged by this and felt that this would be a watershed. The Luoan Imperial Army would be on the right track and gradually disintegrate the counties outside Jinzhong. However, from the recent news, the Luoan Imperial Army once again encountered the stubborn resistance of the Fengwu Army in Wankang County!
And now Ye Mingsheng is preparing to lead the Ninth Division to the Hebei-Henan battlefield, which undoubtedly shows Ye Mingsheng's confidence in the situation on the Yunbing battlefield!

There is not much I can do in Hebei and Henan now!
Shangguan Hongyuan, it's up to you now. If you don't do your best to help Ye Mingsheng get through this difficult time, then there will probably be no place for you and me in this world in the future...
