Two days later.
Mo Ruo gathered a small group of soldiers and prepared to set off.
In order to prevent the Great Lin's army from attacking, he had no choice but to arrange for them to stay in a herdsman's residence.
Dozens of people were left to take care of them.
Before departing —
Tang Si threw herself into his arms with tears in her eyes. "You have to be careful."
He touched her head and kissed her on the forehead. "Ah Si, if I …" Something happened!
Before he could say the last three words, Tang Si covered his mouth with her hand.
"Don't talk nonsense. You'll be fine! You have to promise me that you will come back alive. Think of a way to come back. Promise me. "Tears welled up in her eyes.
He held her hand and said, "Okay, I promise you, I will definitely come back with my life intact."
"You can't go back on your words."
"Fool, when did I go back on my word?"
He promised to bring her to the capital, and he did!
He promised to marry her, and he did!
He had never gone back on his words.
Tang Si threw herself into his arms again.
She hugged him tightly.
"Ah Mo, I don't care what the final outcome is. Even if all of Houliao is destroyed by the Great Lin, even if the entire grasslands are bathed in rivers of blood, I want you to be safe. "
He opened his mouth, but no words came out. He could only hug the woman in his arms.
After a long time …
Only then did he let go of her.
Mo Ruo wiped away her tears and looked down at her stomach. He slowly squatted down and placed his ear on her stomach.
It was as if he could feel the breathing of the little person inside.
It was so light!
The corners of his mouth gradually revealed a fatherly smile.
"When I come back … to name the child," he said.
Tang Si wiped her tears.
Before leaving, Mo Ruo told Ji Yunshu, "Jing Rong is a lucky man. He will come back safe and sound. If we can't find him today, we'll continue searching tomorrow. If we can't find him now, we'll continue searching in the future."
By the time Shi Ziran was buried, Ji Yunshu's condition had improved significantly.
She said, "Mo Ruo, ever since I met Jing Rong, I owe you a lot. Thank you."
"There's no need to say such things between us."
"Actually, you don't have to go. You can stay."
"I have responsibilities." Mo Ruo's eyes were extremely serious.
Just these four words were like his temperament. He valued loyalty, friendship, and even more, responsibility!
Ji Yunshu pursed her lips and no longer tried to persuade him.
Mo Ruo turned to Bai Yin and said, "Please."
Bai Yin nodded. "Don't worry."
Mo Ruo finally mounted his horse and left with his men.
Tang Si chased after her and shouted, "Ah Mo, the child and I will wait for you to come back."
He heard everything, but he didn't turn around.
He was afraid that at that moment, he wouldn't be able to bear it!
Tang Si sobbed uncontrollably. She wanted to continue chasing, but Ji Yunshu pulled her back.
She stayed where she was and could only watch as Mo Ruo disappeared from her sight.
It was the only thing he could do.
Just wait!
Wait for his return.
Not long after, a piece of news came.
Hou Liao and the Great Lin officially declared war.
War broke out on this grassland that should have been quiet.
The sound of the horn alarmed the birds in the grassland forest. They flapped their wings and fled quickly.
Death was spreading bit by bit.
Fresh blood was slowly seeping in.
In the end, this day was still carried out under authority.
Five days later.
Hou Liao was already riddled with holes.
Tang Si was still knitting clothes in her hands, waiting for the arrival of her child.
She knew Hou Liao's situation and knew how dangerous it was, but she pretended not to know anything. She was extremely obedient, and as she knitted, she rubbed her stomach and said, "You have to be obedient and wait for your father to come back, okay?"
The child in her belly suddenly reacted and gave her a gentle kick in the stomach.
"Little fellow, are you going to be restless soon? But you can't come out now. You have to wait until your father is done with the war. "She patted her belly to comfort the child.
Ji Yunshu sat to the side and smiled at Tang Si's happy and playful expression.
Tang Si also continued to knit the clothes in her hands.
After a few days, the clothes finally took shape.
They were getting better and more exquisite!
At this time —
The sound of hooves suddenly came from outside!
There was even the sound of shouting!
Tang Si and Ji Yunshu looked at each other and went out to investigate.
"It's … Hou Liao's people are here," the guard outside said.
Who would have thought that they would still come!
The sound of hooves grew closer and closer.
A group of people could be seen from afar. The person in front was waving a flag.
That was … the flag of the Great Lin!
And the person in the lead was Chu Chengyu!
That also meant …
Tang Si staggered a few steps back, almost losing her balance. Fortunately, Ji Yunshu supported her.
She shook her head, tears welling up in her eyes. "Impossible, it's impossible! Mo Ruo … he'll be fine. "
Her voice trembled.
Bai Yin knew that they couldn't escape now. She immediately drew her broadsword and ordered, "Protect the two ladies."
The dozens of people immediately protected the two of them in the middle.
Suddenly —
Tang Si let out an "ugh", her face contorted in pain.
She hugged her belly with both hands and bent her legs.
"I …"
Ji Yunshu looked, "Tang Si?"
"I … I might be in labor!"
Her water had broken.
She screamed in pain, clutching Ji Yunshu's arm tightly.
"Ah! I … I … it hurts! "
Her body slowly shrank down.
Bai Yin saw this and said to Ji Yunshu, "Take her inside, leave the outside to us."
"Okay!"
Ji Yunshu hurriedly helped Tang Si inside.
Tang Si lay on the bed, sweating profusely from the pain. She gasped for breath, her hands clutching tightly onto Ji Yunshu's clothes. She struggled to raise her head, her eyes filled with tears as she said, "Ah Ji, Ah Mo will be fine, right? He … he'll be fine, right? "
Ji Yunshu held her hand. "Yes, he'll be fine!"
"He promised to come back. The child and I … will wait for him!"
"Tang Si, your water has broken. I have to deliver the baby immediately."
"Ah ~" Tang Si screamed in pain and fell backwards.
Ji Yunshu pulled a blanket from the side and covered Tang Si with it. She grabbed Tang Si's hand and caressed her sweaty forehead.
"Ah! It hurts. "
"Tang Si, you'll be fine. The child will be fine too. Just do as I say, okay?"
"Ugh!" Tang Si nodded, gritting her teeth.
Ji Yunshu took off her pants and shouted, "Take a deep breath and push down!"
Tang Si's mind was filled with thoughts of Mo Ruo's safety. She tried her best to remain calm and listened to Ji Yunshu.
She took a deep breath and pushed down!
She repeated this process many times.
She was tortured to the point where she wished she was dead!
Outside, Chu Chengyu had already rushed over with his soldiers.
They surrounded Bai Yin and the others.
Chu Chengyu rode on his horse and heard the shouts from inside the tent. He said to Bai Yin, "Hand over Miss Ji."
Bai Yin's eyes flashed with murderous intent. "Not until I die!"
No one was willing to back down!
Chu Chengyu revealed a fierce expression. "Don't say I didn't give you a chance. As long as you hand her over, I'll spare your life."
Bah!
"I'll say it one more time. If you want to take her away, kill me first!"
"Fine." Chu Chengyu raised his hand and ordered, "Kill!"
The Great Lin soldiers rushed forward.
Bai Yin and her men fought to the death.
Inside the tent.
Tang Si was still exerting herself. She was exhausted.
"Ah, I can't, I can't!" She raised her head. Her face was flushed and her whole body was drenched in sweat.
Her hands gripped the bedsheets so tightly that her fingertips turned white.
"Tang Si, use more strength! Use more strength! "
"Ah!" Tang Si raised her head high and used all the strength in her body for the last time.
But the child still couldn't be born.
If the amniotic fluid didn't break, the child would die from lack of oxygen.
Ji Yunshu grabbed her hand again and looked at her powerless body. "Don't give up, Tang Si. You can't give up!"
Her eyes drooped weakly. "Ah Ji, I … I can't do it anymore."
She had used up all her strength.
"Tang Si, hold on. Try harder."
"I …" She gasped for breath. She had no strength left.
"Tang Si!"
"..."
"You promised Mo Ruo that you would wait for him to come back with the child. You can't sleep, you can't sleep!" Ji Yunshu shouted loudly, her eyes filled with tears.
Tang Si opened her pale lips. Her hand groped around for a while and pulled out a dagger.
She stuffed it into Ji Yunshu's hand.
"Ah Ji, help me," she said weakly.
Ji Yunshu looked at the dagger in her hand and shook her head desperately.
She knew what it meant!
"No matter what, help me … protect this child. Help me."
"No … you'll be fine."
She said, "Ah Mo has always … refused to tell me whether the child is a boy or a girl. I think … I might never know, and I won't be able to … watch him grow up."
"It won't happen." "I can't wait … can't wait for Ah Mo to come back … to name the child. If … it's a boy, we'll call him … Mo Zhi! If it's a girl, we'll also call her Mo Zhi. I hope he can grow up happily, not knowing pain, not knowing bitterness, not knowing … what happened today. Ah Ji, please …
You must help me take care of my child. Please … I beg you. "She held Ji Yunshu's hand.
"Tang Si, you'll be fine. Try harder and give birth to the child." Ji Yunshu's eyes were blurry from crying.
Her heart felt like it was being cut by a knife.
Tang Si shook her head slightly. "I know … I can't hold on much longer. Ah Ji, promise me, promise me …"
She pleaded.
Ji Yunshu cried and nodded. "Alright, I promise you, I promise you."
"Thank you, Ah Ji."
She finally heaved a sigh of relief and lay there peacefully. There was no longer any pain on her face.
She looked up weakly and said, "Ah Mo, if … if there's a next life, I'm still willing to marry you."
If there's a next life, I'm still willing to marry you.
She smiled. It was a beautiful smile.
More beautiful than the stars in the sky!
That pair of eyes that were filled with tears were also so clean!
Slowly — —
She lost all strength in her grip on Ji Yunshu's hand.
She loosened her grip.
She gently fell onto the bed.
There was no sound!
At that moment, Ji Yunshu's mind went blank.
Time seemed to have stopped at that moment.
