"Hey..." Cao Ying sighed: "Unfortunately, my preparations were in vain. I asked the commander of the guards to pretend to be pregnant in advance, and I thought that she would reveal it to the outside world in the name of her daughter."
"The plan can't keep up with the change, so you'd better deal with it properly as soon as possible. I saw her big belly just now, and it's time."
Cao Ying nodded: "I know, you don't have to worry about this matter, but the problem is me. I have to find a good way to cover it up later. I'm afraid it won't work if I don't come out to see people."
"Go into seclusion." Jiang Fan suddenly said three words.
"Retreat?" Cao Ying was stunned for a moment, then realized that this was indeed a good idea.
"There has to be a compelling reason."
Jiang Fan thought for a while: "You are a practicing spearman. If the inheritance of the Spear King of Great Xia falls into your hands, this reason should be enough."
"Enough, that's enough!" Cao Ying's eyes flashed: "The gun king died in your hands, can you say..."
Jiang Fan nodded: "When the old gun king was dying, he handed over his inheritance to me. I will arrange for the slaughter ceremony to be sent as soon as possible."
"Beautiful!" Cao Ying was very happy: "The last question left is where to retreat. I'm afraid it won't work here. If something big happens, I have to come forward..."
"Go to your second brother. You two have a good relationship. If you ask him to be your guardian, no one will doubt you."
Cao Ying thought for a while: "But my second brother, are you really relieved?"
Jiang Fan patted the back of her hand: "Silly girl, he will be happier if you are pregnant, and if Cao Yuan is not dead, he will need you and me, and he will definitely keep it secret for you. Of course, the most important thing is You should believe in your second brother’s humanity…”
Cao Ying was stunned for a moment, then thoughtfully said: "...Yeah, okay, I'll go to his place. But my mother..."
Jiang Fan said: "Let's go together. You must have someone to take care of you."
"Okay, anyway, I'm the only one left with my mother, and the news will never leak out." Cao Ying said decisively.
"I'll be here to raise the baby for who knows how long. Do you have any other important matters?"
Cao Ying shook her head: "Yes, there are many things, but right now I can only choose this. However, there is no war in the near future, and there is nothing completely inseparable. Don't worry, I have my own arrangements."
"That's good. Also, remember that no matter what happens, your own body is the first priority." Jiang Fan thought for a while and then warned seriously.
Cao Ying didn't think much about it. She just thought he was afraid of dystocia: "Don't worry, my body and bones are fine."
"Well, I will ask Sun Daotong to diagnose and treat you. His medical skills will definitely keep you safe."
Cao Ying was a little frightened. Everyone knew about Sun Daotong, but no one dared to say that they had seen his true face. Although he had doubted it very early, Cao Ying became more sure after the establishment of the Wujiang Medical Team, but Jiang Fan had never really admitted it. The relationship with the old god.
"Mr. Sun, are you so sure?"
Jiang Fan smiled softly: "Yes, you can rest assured about this. I might as well tell you that he is my master."
Cao Yingruo realized something: "No wonder, where did your ability to steal blood and extend your life come from? It wouldn't be surprising if it was Mr. Sun. Is that Mr. Sun the one..."
Jiang Fan smiled: "Yes, that wretched old guy."
Cao Ying was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and smiled bitterly: "With such a person around, it's a shame that a bunch of fools are still making plans for you. I don't know what Mr. Sun's cultivation is, but his poison skills are unrivaled in ancient and modern times."
Jiang Fan said: "Keep it secret for me."
Cao Ying nodded seriously: "I understand, don't worry, I will keep everything about you confidential no matter what the situation or when facing anyone."
Jiang Fan smiled and said: "Even if Qin and Wei are fighting on the battlefield?"
Cao Ying looked a little sad, but her tone was firm: "I said, no matter what the situation, face anyone, but if..."
She stared at Jiang Fan: "If one day you lead the Qin army to my country of Wei, I will fight to the death."
Jiang Fan patted her cheek: "Why do you say this again? Remember my words, don't worry about the past, don't worry about the future."
Cao Ying smiled faintly: "I understand. In fact, I am very tolerant. From the moment I decided to fall in love with you, I was mentally prepared for everything."
Jiang Fan sighed and hugged her tightly.
After a long time, the two separated: "Okay, don't talk about this. The most important thing now is to have children." Jiang Fan looked into her eyes with a smile.
"Well..." Cao Ying suddenly laughed at herself: "Thankfully, I was afraid of being a husband compared to her. It seems I'm not quite sure yet..."
Jiang Fan said sternly: "The child she gave birth to is also mine, so the effect will be the same."
Cao Ying chuckled: "I also want to see her expression when the time comes. Anyway, I am very depressed."
Jiang Fan hugged her gently: "I'm bored too."
Cao Ying glared at him: "Don't even think about it. When will this happen?"
Jiang Fan smiled bitterly: "I know, I know, just give me a kiss..."
"it's not good……"
After chatting with Cao Ying for a while, he asked her to take Xian Yue over.
Xianyue has now grown into a ten-year-old girl. Under Cao Ying's careful care, her appearance has become more and more beautiful. Only the crescent-shaped scar between the eyebrows not only did not fade, but became increasingly clear.
Jiang Fan once thought of helping her remove the scars, which was not a difficult task for the old guy, but Xiao Xianyue, who had experienced hardships since she was a child and became sensible earlier, had always refused, saying that she wanted to remember everything.
Nowadays, under the guidance of Cao Ying, she has read a lot of books, but she is more keen on practicing martial arts. She is dressed in elegant clothes, with a short sword tied to her waist, and an imitation long tasseled gun on her back. The ten-year-old girl looks heroic, She has much more sharp heroic spirit than those young ladies.
The precocious Jiang Xianyue can no longer climb on Jiang Fan's neck to ride a horse, nor can he be held high by her. But his feelings for Jiang Fan haven't changed at all, and they are getting deeper. Even in Cao Ying's words, although you regard him as your sister, she regards you as your father.
After chatting with Xiao Xianyue for a long time, Jiang Fan asked her what she wanted to do when she grew up.
Jiang Xianyue did not hesitate at all, and said seriously and firmly: Kill the barbarian.
Jiang Fan couldn't help but look at Cao Ying, who shook his head: "I didn't teach her to be like this all the time."
Jiang Fan smiled with satisfaction: "Kill the barbarians, okay, there is nothing wrong with that, but now you have to study hard and practice martial arts well, otherwise, let alone killing the barbarians, you will only become a drag, do you understand?"
"I will never be a drag, I will practice martial arts well!" Jiang Xianyue said firmly.
Cao Ying said: "Xian Yue has now laid a solid foundation. With your medicine and spiritual treasures, her foundation is very solid. Although her qualifications are not as good as some geniuses, she is better than those who are willing to endure hardship and are more tenacious. She must practice martial arts for at least three hours every day. , now ordinary soldiers are no longer her match in one-on-one combat, I estimate that around the age of fifteen, she is expected to enter the realm of a first-class warrior."
"I want to become a saint and command thousands of armies!" Jiang Xianyue's eyes were sharp.
"Okay, be ambitious!"
Jiang Fan felt greatly relieved and took out the precious medicine he had prepared long ago and stuffed it into her.
"Our family doesn't have anything else. We have plenty of natural resources and treasures. If we don't have them, let's buy them. As long as money can buy them, we don't have to worry."
