Rebirth: The wedding night, my whole family was exiled, I raised 500,000 soldiers

Two days later, Sun Maoshan, the defender of Xiling, died at the hands of horse bandits. Zhou Ru'an expressed deep sorrow and issued a military order, vowing not to return to Beijing until all the horse bandits in the northwest were wiped out.

Just when Zhou Ru'an took over Xiling City and was busy in full swing, Shen Lanxi returned to Huangtu City in a very low-key manner.

"General, Zhou Ru'an's people have been keeping an eye on our mansion. Do you want us to find an opportunity to get rid of them?" Liu Yanhui asked.

Shen Lanxi: "Don't worry, let them watch over them, let's go to Yuan Jing's house!"

Zhou Ru'an's men also sent people to keep an eye on Shen Yuanjing's house. Fortunately, they had prepared in advance and entered through the secret passage.

Kang Zhu was two times rounder than before, and her belly looked like a small pot. Shen Lanxi saw her coming and immediately asked her to stop.

"You're going to give birth soon. We're family, so there's no need to be so formal!"

Kangzhu smiled brightly, with a look of maternal love. She talked to them while holding her belly with one hand.

"General, less than two days after you and Yuan Jing left, the Second Prince had Zhou Yunyue taken away!"

Shen Lanxi already knew about this matter.

"Don't worry about her. If she leaves anything behind, don't touch it. Let the servants deal with it!"

Kang Zhu shook her head: "She didn't leave anything behind. When she left, the Second Prince's men were watching her. The guards watched her closely, probably because they had received instructions from the Second Prince. She didn't dare to act arrogantly."

Zhou Ru'an was still a little afraid after all.

Shen Lanxi: "Take good care of your baby. I have already asked someone to find a midwife and a wet nurse."

Kangzhu had asked her brother to find two experienced midwives and wet nurses from Wala. Her brother said that Wala people were as strong as calves since childhood because they drank their milk. Although the people of the Central Plains were smart, they were not as strong as Wala people.

Now that things have come to this, Kangzhu won’t spoil the fun and quickly thanks him.

"Thank you for your concern, big sister!"

Shen Lanxi smiled and nodded: "I heard Yuan Jing say before that you want me to name the child?"

Kang Zhu nodded without hesitation and responded, "Yuan Jing and I have already agreed that if there is no elder sister, there will be no us. Now that the elder sister is a general, the name she gave must be resounding, and my husband and I also want to take advantage of the elder sister. In the future, our child will be the first child named by the elder sister!"

Shen Lanxi nodded and said seriously: "I don't care about the other descendants of the Shen family. If you want me to look at them differently, you must let me acknowledge them. Otherwise, no matter who gave birth to the child, in my eyes, they are not my relatives!"

Kang Zhu's heart was stirred, and she said excitedly: "We have such a great relative like Big Sister, it must be God's blessing!"

Shen Lanxi glanced at Shen Yuanjing and promised: "My brother, Shen Lanxi, must be together for the rest of his life. If Shen Yuanjing dares to take a concubine in the future, I will definitely chop off his legs and send them to you"!

Shen Yuanjing was startled and quickly explained: "Big sister, I dare not. I will only marry one wife in my life!"

Shen Lanxi nodded seriously.

Although Kangzhu was happy, she didn't dare to show it on the surface. Which man didn't have three wives and four concubines? Even her brother had more than ten women, not to mention a family like the Shen family.

Although she thought so in her heart, the way Kang Zhu looked at Shen Lanxi was as if she was kneeling down to worship her like a god.

Shen Lanxi still had some official business to attend to, so she chatted with Kang Zhu for a few words and then left for the camp.

Shen Yuanjing wanted to stay at home with Kangzhu, but Kangzhu herself was unwilling to do so. In their Wala, there was no such thing as a man accompanying a woman during childbirth. When a woman was giving birth, most men were out hunting and busy supporting the family.

It is enough to have this intention. Men should still put their future first.

Unexpectedly, Kangzhu's stomach began to feel uncomfortable in the second half of the night. The maid beside her wanted to go and call for help, but she forced her not to go.

It was not until the morning that the guards realized something was wrong and sent someone to deliver the letter.

Shen Lanxi and Shen Yuanjing rushed back to the Shen residence. At almost noon, Kang Zhu gave birth to a baby girl safely.

When Shen Yuanjing heard the news, he happily shared it with Shen Lanxi immediately.

"Big sister, I have a child, a daughter!"

Shen Lanxi immediately gave the name she had thought of long ago.

"Just call her Shen Emei. Women are as good as men!"

In the delivery room, Kang Zhu looked at the little baby girl wrapped in the swaddle with a lonely expression. Why wasn't it a boy?

"If you were a man, you could fight on the battlefield like your father, achieve great success, and even inherit the title!"

Now we can only hope for a second child.

Even after hearing Shen Lanxi name the child and give her and the child a lot of gifts, Kang Zhu's smile was still forced.

Fortunately, Shen Yuanjing was very happy afterwards and said that his daughter would be very close to her aunt in the future. Girls can also learn martial arts, just like his older sister, and can also achieve great things in their careers. Only then did Kang Zhu feel better.

Shen Lanxi stayed in Huangtu City for three days, and when she left, she left Shen Yuanjing behind.

"Kangzhu has just given birth and needs someone to take care of her. Take care of them first, and then come to me!"

Seeing Shen Lanxi's firm attitude, Shen Yuanjing had no choice but to nod.

Shen Lanxi: "Although there are outsiders taking care of us, it is not as careful as the care of our own family. After Zhou Ruyuan recaptures Xiling City, he will definitely be overconfident. I guess he will attack the three tribes soon!"

This is also one of the reasons why she kept Shen Yuanjing, and it just so happened that Shen Yuanjing had a legitimate reason to stay!

"Big sister, Zhou Ru'an has only fought a few battles. He didn't spend a single soldier to capture those cities. He got them without any effort. If he attacks the foreign tribes, he will definitely lose."

Shen Lanxi: "Don't worry about those things for now, protect Kangzhu and the child first. If he sends you to fight, find an excuse not to go!"

Shen Yuanjing remembered these instructions and watched Shen Lanxi leave.

……

"General, when will we take back the military power? I'm worried that Zhou Ru'an's forces will penetrate too deeply into our Zhenbei Army, causing our military morale to waver!" Liu Yanhui expressed his concerns.

Shen Lanxi smiled coldly and said, "Zhou Ru'an is a good excuse. You can use it a few more times. When he is really of no use, kick him out!"

Che Mingyuan frowned: "I'm afraid that Zhou Ru'an will really win over people under the guise of imperial power!"

Shen Lanxi said in a cold voice: "If someone in our Zhenbei Army is lured away, it means that this person is not suitable to stay in the Zhenbei Army. It's just right for Zhou Ru'an to identify it for us!"

That being said, people's hearts are not so easy to be controlled. Che Mingyuan was afraid that in the end, what they did would really become a favor to others!

Ten days later, Zhou Ru'an returned to Huangtu City.

After he returned to the city, he immediately summoned Liang Shao, handed him the imperial edict of the court, and said in a tone of alms: "If you can help the Zhenbei Army recapture the city taken by the three Turkic tribes, I will say a few good words for you in front of my father and let you serve in the Zhenbei Army!"
