"What's this child's name?" Li Xiaolan asked softly.
The woman quickly replied: "The name is Niu Er."
Niu Er? Li Xiaolan smiled slightly: "Is this your second son? Where is your eldest son?"
There was a flash of bitterness in the woman's eyes: "The life was too sad, and I had no money to buy medicine. I was hungry and sick, and I died young..."
After learning that the woman's eldest son had died, Li Xiaolan couldn't help showing a hint of sadness in her eyes, and quickly asked: "Where is your man?"
The woman shook her head and sighed: "I went out to look for food and was beaten to death by the county bully."
Although Li Xiaolan's eyes were sympathetic, she did not hesitate for too long. After all, the people in the world lived a very miserable life, and the woman in front of her with her family ruined was definitely not the worst.
Since her affair with Qin Feng, Li Xiaolan has become extremely sensitive to the word "mother".
After all, as Qin Feng's woman, it is an unshirkable responsibility to spread the branches and leaves of the Qin family. Besides, dragons give birth to dragons and phoenixes, and mice's sons can dig holes. If they can give birth to a son and a half for Qin Feng, they will definitely Can strengthen the Qin family. It's a pity that in the face of this sudden disaster, Li Xiaolan may not have the chance to become a mother.
Looking at the baby boy in front of her, Li Xiaolan made no secret of the love in her eyes. She was trying to comfort herself and the woman. She chuckled and said, "We are destined."
"If a miracle happens tonight and we can survive this desperate situation, how about I accept him as my adopted son?"
When the woman heard this, her eyes lit up. It was a great thing that her child could meet a noble person, which meant that the child was blessed.
But……
What happened tonight was too terrifying. In addition, the Tianji Camp guards around Li Xiaolan were fierce and fierce. The woman was afraid that these people were criminals and rebelled against the party, so she seemed a little hesitant.
After a while, the woman plucked up the courage to ask: "I don't know...Miss..."
Before she could say anything, the woman happened to see Li Xiaolan's hair tied up in a high bun. She immediately understood something and quickly changed her words: "I wonder, Madam, where did this come from?"
lady?
Li Xiaolan was stunned at first, and then a touch of rosy clouds appeared on her cheeks.
Li Xiaolan liked this title very much, but she was arrogant and cold by nature, so she didn't want to show it.
"Don't worry, I'm not a criminal and a rebel. I'm not even from your country."
Upon hearing this, the woman became even more confused.
Li Xiaolan patiently explained with a smile: "I am Princess Mingyue of Daliang, the third young lady of the Qin family, and also Qin Feng's fiancée."
After hearing Li Xiaolan's series of titles, the woman was still confused. As a woman from a mountain village, how could she know about the Qin Feng Qin family...
However, the woman knew the meaning of the word "princess" very well.
She had a big mouth and was in disbelief: "You... you are the princess of Liang Kingdom?! Oh my god... How can a noble person like you appear here?"
The other villagers in the ancestral hall also had their eyes wide open and were shocked.
Princess Daliang?
For these villagers, even an ordinary Liang people are very new, and they may never see them in their lifetime. But now, the majestic Princess Daliang is standing in front of them, how can they not be shocked.
The woman looked extremely excited. She never dared to dream that one day her child would become Princess Daliang's adopted son.
The woman quickly knelt down on the ground, kowtowed to Li Xiaolan, and cried with joy: "The child is too young and doesn't understand anything. A civilian woman has thanked Her Highness the Princess."
"This child must have accumulated great virtues in his previous life. There is smoke coming out of our Niu family's ancestral grave."
Li Xiaolan helped the woman up and whispered: "What's your name?"
The woman wiped away her tears of excitement and quickly replied: "Ms. Niu Zhang, a civilian woman."
Li Xiaolan smiled and nodded: "Don't be too happy too early. After all, tonight is a desperate situation. Unless a miracle happens, we will definitely die here."
Mrs. Niu Zhang shook her head repeatedly, with a determined look in her eyes: "Your Highness Princess, Ji Ren has his own destiny, and he will definitely turn danger into safety. Even if it is for my Niu Er to have a good future in the second half of his life, I will pray for Your Highness sincerely."
The villagers present became bolder, looked at Li Xiaolan with burning eyes, and shouted one after another.
"His Royal Highness is a nobleman of Wanggang Village. He can definitely turn danger into safety."
"That's right. It's freezing cold today and the mountains are blocked by heavy snow. Even the richest family in the whole village is worth less than one tael of silver. Your Highness gave us more than 10 taels of silver each. It’s really life-saving.”
"Whether it is Princess Daliang or Princess Dadi, as long as she can save lives, she is a good princess."
At this moment, deafening shouts of killing came from outside the village.
The villagers who had finally relaxed were extremely nervous again, and all their eyes were focused on the outside of the ancestral hall.
Li Xiaolan also stood up, walked to the door, looked at the dark crowd of people outside the village, and sighed softly: "It's begun."
At this time, an army composed of three thousand field soldiers was attacking the village from all directions.
Although the armor of these soldiers in the field was poor, and the weather was dry and cold, and the fine rifles were given priority to the elite troops, the inferior rifle rods were more or less defective from the frost, either cracked or too brittle, making them unusable. The main weapons are swords, axes and bows and arrows.
Although the weapons and equipment are very different, there are simply too many people on the other side.
The direction of the village entrance was the main direction of attack for the field soldiers. Thousands of people were crowded into the narrow village entrance, and they continued to attack the village entrance.
Zhang Zhenhai led a twelve-man suicide squad, armed with rifles, and kept stabbing and killing the soldiers who rushed up.
Zhang Zhenhai stood in the front, with private houses on the left and right, death squads behind him, and several secret guards with bows and arrows lying on the roof. In front of him was a dark enemy with no end in sight.
Zhang Zhenhai kept waving the rifle, opening the weapons of the enemies in front of him, and then looking for the opportunity, he suddenly thrust forward. Based on Zhang Zhenhai's actual combat experience, every time the rifle was thrust out, one person would fall to the ground.
"Come on! Come up if you are not afraid of death!"
"As a man from Beixi, even if I die, I will hold you as my backer!"
Zhang Zhenhai's roar continued to echo at the entrance of the village.
The field soldiers on the opposite side, like a wave, also let out bursts of howls with bared teeth.
"The Zhu Kingdom has decreed that anyone who kills an enemy army will be rewarded with fifty taels of silver. Anyone who kills an enemy general will be rewarded with five hundred taels of silver and twenty acres of fertile land."
"If I can cut off Qin Feng's head, I will be rewarded with thousands of taels of silver and hundreds of acres of fertile land!"
There must be a brave man under the heavy reward. Let alone killing Qin Feng, even if he kills Zhang Zhenhai in front of him, for these soldiers, it is enough to become rich enough to become a gentry.
These field soldiers have almost zero loyalty to Lu Li, but their loyalty to fame and fortune is extremely high.
