The baby-making system is unreliable

Yun Xirou endured the discomfort in her body, and amidst someone's laughter, she was finally... carried by him onto the carriage, causing a burst of laughter.

But what he said was not wrong. Ji Shuang was indeed not in the mansion, and there were no beautiful women in the mansion, which made her curious.

He was known for his romanticism, but there were no beauties in his mansion, which surprised her. With only the two of them in such a huge mansion, it was quite quiet.

"He Yu, drive." Ye Lin gently placed the person in his arms on the carriage, fearing to hurt her. He looked at her exhausted appearance with heartache, knowing that she had worked very hard.

He asked He Yu to drive them home today so that she would not suffer from fatigue again.

He Yu is Ye Lin's bodyguard, and the two have known each other for a long time. Many years ago, He Yu encountered an epidemic and was on the verge of death. Fortunately, Ye Lin came to his rescue.

Since then, He Yu has been grateful to Ye Lin and vowed to follow him forever. It has been several years now.

The carriage moved forward slowly, and the sound of the wheels rolling echoed in the quiet street. Ye Lin and Yun Xirou sat in the carriage silently, without much talk between them. Yun Xirou was so sleepy that she couldn't open her eyes, so she didn't want to talk.

Along the way, Ye Lin kept looking at the woman beside him, covering her with a thin blanket, and kissing her forehead from time to time, with deep concern in his eyes.

He Yu was concentrating on driving, carefully controlling the reins to ensure that the carriage ran smoothly.

After a while, the carriage arrived at the border of Yongzhou. It was not far from their destination and they would arrive soon.

Ye Lin secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that he could finally let the person in his arms have a good rest.

Finally, the carriage arrived at the door of the house. Yunmu was waiting eagerly at home and had prepared food early.

Several brothers and sisters-in-law were also waiting for the younger sister to return early. There was not much to do today, so the brothers also rushed back early.

Ye Lin gently woke up the sleeping person in his arms and told her that they were home. Yun Xirou opened her eyes dazedly and saw the familiar door of her home, a smile appeared on her face.

Ye Lin helped her get off the carriage and walked into the house together. A warm atmosphere filled her face. It was a familiar environment.

After simply greeting her mother and sisters-in-law, Yun Xirou was pulled to the inner room. Her legs and feet were a little weak from not getting out of bed today, and she walked slowly.

Yunmu looked at him distressedly, and secretly made a calculation in her heart, thinking: This man is probably someone who will never restrain himself, poor her daughter! !

Normally he loves riding horses, running and jumping, but now he is so exhausted that he looks weak even when walking.

The eldest brother, Yun Guangying, was tall, muscular, and full of strength. His face was as sharp as a knife, with clear contours, thick eyebrows, and big eyes, and his eyes were sharp and resolute.

He looked like a typical general, sitting above his deputy. Having fought on the battlefield, he had a murderous aura about him. His ferocious appearance was intimidating, and most people did not dare to approach him easily.

When Ye Lin saluted him, he felt a little uneasy, with a strange expression on his face, but he was speechless.

The second brother, Yun Guangbo, is completely different from the eldest brother. He has an elegant face, sharp eyebrows, bright eyes, red lips and white teeth, and is very handsome. As a counselor in Yongzhou, he is well-read and knows everything about the world. He is well-prepared and shrewd.

However, at this moment, he was as clear as a mirror. Although he knew what had happened, his expression did not change at all, and he continued to drink his tea calmly.

Third brother Yun Guangyu was not here today because of his inconvenient legs and feet. I guess he is still in the medicine house and can't move around at will, so I don't know what he looks like.

However, it is said that he learned from Master Shanhe and had superb medical skills. It's a pity that his legs were broken before he met the master, but he will not be left behind.

Fourth brother Yun Guangan had his face covered with black silk, his arms folded, a long knife tightly in his arms, he had a cold look on his face, and sat there as grimly as a sculpture.

He was the one with the best martial arts skills among his brothers and sisters, but unfortunately he was impulsive when he was young and was accidentally injured in the eye by Hajir (the commander-in-chief of the six border tribes).

Later, his temper changed a lot, and he gradually became what he is today. He is unwilling to talk much to others except his family.

My fifth cousin Feng Shu is a sunny and cheerful boy. Because he is young, he is actually taken care of by his brothers.

At this moment, he had an unhappy expression on his face, as if the whole world owed him money, and his thoughts were written all over his face.

Ye Lin had just sat down when he heard Feng Shu impatiently say, "I heard that my brother-in-law has tortured my sister badly!!!"

Ye Lin frowned and couldn't help wondering: Why is this fifth cousin so rude right from the start? Does he have something against me?

But he still responded with a smile: "Fifth brother, what do you mean by this? Ah Rou and I are a loving couple, so naturally we only have affection for each other. How could I let her suffer?"

"Of course not. I heard from my little sister's maid that..."

Yun Guangbo interrupted his fifth brother again, a slight smile appeared on his face, and his tone became somewhat rational.

"Forget it, let's... talk about the cooperation between Yongzhou and Aozhou!"

Yun Guangbo narrowed his eyes, which were full of wise calculations. The Ji brothers and sisters were all in the camp, so the one who could make the decision was to call him "Young Master Ji".

Although he already knew Ye Lin's true identity, he was only a deposed prince after all, and it was still unknown how much actual benefit he could bring to Yongzhou.

It can be said that Aozhou and his family are clearly on Ye Lin's side. Yongzhou... Father, maybe father is thinking of the kindness that the late queen showed to his mother.

And they treat Ye Lin differently, but in fact...the marriage between the two parties was announced to the outside world as a marriage between the Yun family and the Ji family, which had no direct relationship with the royal family.

If I am not mistaken, apart from the three people from the Ji family and the father and eldest brother of the Yun family, there should be no more than ten people who know Ye Lin’s true identity.

Even the two brothers only learned the truth from their father after a lot of questioning before their younger sister was about to get married.

If an abandoned prince cannot make a comeback on his own, then his identity and bloodline are simply not worth mentioning.

If he is interested in the throne, it will be a battle for the imperial city. Maybe one day, his identity will be exposed, and in the eyes of outsiders, both Yongao and Aozhou will stand on his side.

But it is not time yet. They are in the four border cities. More importantly, it is still unknown whether Ye Lin can convince them, and whether he can stabilize the six border departments! !

Yongzhou is close to the mountains and forests, which means that the soldiers of Yongzhou are suitable for guerrilla warfare by taking advantage of the terrain, but there is also a disadvantage that the cavalry is definitely not as good as the other three cities.

Therefore, they need to unite with Aozhou to deal with the six border tribes north of the border between the two states. Now the winter war is not serious.

When spring comes, the six border departments will march south to obtain enough supplies. At that time, wars will surely break out. This can be regarded as a tacit agreement between the four cities and the six departments.

The winter on the border is so cold that it seems to freeze people to death. In such a cold season, the armies of both sides usually tacitly choose to cease fighting and retreat to their camps to avoid unnecessary casualties and losses.

They used this time to stockpile supplies and train soldiers in order to be fully prepared for the fierce battle that would come the following spring.

"Of course. Now that the two sides have reached a truce, although we don't know when we will go to war with the six border tribes, making early plans is something that all four cities will do. What we lack is not only war horses, but also food and equipment!!"

Ye Lin's expression remained unchanged. He tapped his palms lightly with the folding fan in his hand, making crisp sounds, as if every tap struck the hearts of the people around him.

The hand holding the fan is slender and white, with distinct joints and neatly trimmed nails. There is no trace of rudeness in the hands rubbing the fan handle, but there is an indescribable elegance and nobility.

"War horses are easy to deal with. The racecourses in Aozhou are full of fine horses that can travel a thousand miles a day. What's hard to find are granaries and equipment, and the places with the most food and grass are naturally... Xuanbo and Bozhou."

At this moment, Ye Lin was concentrating on thinking, his brows slightly wrinkled, his eyes deep and sharp. He exuded a unique charm that made people want to get closer, but they didn't dare to disturb him easily.

"Although Xuanbo is a rich place, it is also too complicated and not easy to control. How can you ensure that we can get what we want from it? The 'thing' you want must be quite big!!"

As Yun Guangbo said this, he wiped the tea foam from the teacup. He dared to say this in order to test her.

The current emperor has no brothers or sisters. During the Rebellion of the Five Kings, all his sisters died in the chaos. The empress dowager also became insane as a result and is temporarily recuperating in a Buddhist temple.

There are only two sons in the court. One is the son of the successor Feng, named Ye Chen. This son has an upright character and is obsessed with romance. However, he is protected by the emperor and has the support of his uncle's family. For a time, he also has quite a lot of connections.

The second one is the son of Imperial Concubine Chen, named Ye Yi. This boy has a shy personality, a decent reputation in the court, and many supporters. The two of them compete with each other.

Yongzhou is carrying the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers, and it cannot be easily moved. So if he wants to seize the throne... the affairs of the court depend more on his own calculations. They are thousands of miles away, so to put it bluntly, they can only deter from a distance.

However, this was enough for Ye Lin, because what he wanted was to get back everything that belonged to him without bloodshed.

"Food and grass are of utmost importance, and there is no room for two tigers in one mountain in Xuanbo and Bozhou. That place is naturally the same!!"

……

In Tianyi's capital city, Yicheng, the sky has been clear for days. The eaves of the imperial palace are covered with snow, and occasionally birds can be seen flying by.

The emperor had been having headaches lately, and the incense in the hall was burning, but now he felt uncomfortable and uneasy, so he asked Xiao Liuzi to extinguish it. The white hair on his temples increased, and aging was corroding this emperor who had been in power for more than 20 years. In recent years, he felt more and more that he was unable to do his best.

"Yesterday, Prime Minister Han made a memorial requesting Your Majesty to issue an edict to Yongzhou." Yao Wenjin, who was old, knelt down and said to the emperor: "I think this is not possible. If we rashly demand to take people hostage, I am afraid it will hurt the hearts of the generals of the four border cities!"

The emperor leaned on the couch while Xiao Liuzi held his shoulders, and read Han Cheng's memorial. He said, "Wu Qingjiang of Duanzhou, Jiang Liujun of Yizhou, and Aozhou are only children of a quarter of a century old, but Yun Lianzhuo of Yongzhou has four sons. No wonder Han Cheng made such a memorial."

"Your Majesty is mistaken. Aozhou has a young son, but he is a useless one. It is reasonable for Your Majesty not to remember him."

Listening to Xiao Liuzi's words, the emperor may have become interested, and he responded softly, motioning Xiao Liuzi to continue. He knew the layout of the four cities a long time ago, but he had never had any impression of the youngest son of the Ji family.

"The youngest son of the Ji family is a well-known playboy. He has none of the integrity of the Ji family. Recently, it seems that he married the youngest daughter of General Yun of Yongzhou. He is pregnant with a beautiful girl!!"

I don't know where Xiao Liuzi got the information, but he actually spoke nonsense in front of Your Majesty. It seems that a eunuch is very well-informed.

In recent years, Tianyi has been facing two major troubles. The six border tribes on the border are external threats. Ajib unified the six tribes just a month ago and was in great glory for a while.

Ajib was the most capable commander among the six tribes in the past twenty years. He was young and promising, and his cavalry was brave and powerful. He himself was bold and flexible in using troops. He had fought against the four states many times, and both sides had won and lost.

It goes without saying that Ajib is ambitious and is very likely to lead his troops south, either in early next year or in June.

"Oh? So that's the case. In that case, the relationship between the two families is even stronger than before."

The emperor stroked the luxurious dress and narrowed his eyes. There was a meaningful look in his eyes and he seemed to have something in mind.

"That's fine. It's just driven by profit. How reliable can it be?" Yao Wenjin was stunned. This little Sixth Son was really good at talking. He bowed and continued, "After all, the Ji family's kid is not a soldier. He is just a spoiled brat. There is nothing to be afraid of. It's just that now, the military pay..."

The emperor raised his head slightly, threw the memorial on the table, looked around the huge palace, thought for a moment, and said, "Now that the war has stopped, there is no rush for the military pay. It won't be too late to talk about it until early next year."

Hearing this, Yao Wenjin bowed his head and retreated, respectfully leaving the palace, unable to help but sigh. He thought, the emperor's intention... I'm afraid he will really agree to Han Cheng's proposal.

The current emperor is named Ye Jinjing. He ascended the throne after going through the Five Kings Rebellion. But has he forgotten the pain and suffering he experienced in such a short time? !

Yao Wenjin looked up at the sky helplessly, brushed his sleeves and straightened his clothes, turned his head and paused, looking at the magnificent palace, which had completely lost its previous color.

Perhaps he should really consider the future of Tianyi Imperial City and how the chess game of the world should be played out.

Tianyi faces two major threats: the external threat from Bianshu and the internal threat from Xuanbo. This is generally recognized as a difficult problem to solve.

Xuanbo is the place connecting the four border cities and Yicheng. Due to its special location, many merchants gather here. This place is a mixed bag, from important officials in the court to bandits and hooligans. Who doesn't want to get a piece of the pie?
