"Haha … It's a joyous occasion today. Everyone will be rewarded!"
Wu Ming was shocked. His original body had returned, and he immediately smiled happily.
"Thank you, Young Master!"
The surrounding maids, maids, and medical officers all saluted with joy on their faces.
At this time, Wu Ming didn't care about the etiquette. He directly entered the delivery room and asked the midwife to carry the baby.
"Young Master, look at how strong the young master is. He also has a strange fragrance. He will be extraordinary in the future!"
An old maid carried the baby in the swaddling clothes and said with a smile.
The newborn baby didn't cry at this time. His black eyes were fearlessly looking around. When he saw Wu Ming, he immediately grinned.
"Hey, look how much the young master kisses you!"
The old maid quickly handed the swaddling clothes to Wu Ming. He held it carefully and felt the feeling of the blood connection. He was suddenly filled with emotions.
It was rare for him to be stunned for a while, and then he carefully looked at the baby.
He saw that the child's meridians were all connected, his spiritual energy was contained, and divine light was born. In terms of foundation and talent, no Connate Taoism Body could compare to him.
The origin of a Level Six Great God was naturally extraordinary.
This little baby couldn't bear it. In Wu Ming's Third Eye, his whole body was glowing with golden light, and ordinary people could smell the fragrance. These were all signs of the escape of the origin.
"You guys have it easy …"
Wu Ming glanced at the maid and sister-in-law in the room. At this time, his son was like a ginseng fruit. Even if he smelled it, all diseases would disappear, and it also had the effect of increasing one's fortune and longevity.
"It'll be bad if other demons see this. Although I'm not afraid of trouble, it's not a good thing to be on guard all the time …"
He used his fingers as a pen and drew a talisman in the air. Water vapor condensed, spiritual light flashed in the void, and a Talisman went into the body of the baby.
All this happened in a flash. The people around only saw a flash of light in front of them, and the strange fragrance in the room seemed to be a little lighter.
What they didn't know was that Wu Ming's Talisman helped the baby to strengthen his foundation and absorb the divine light. From then on, he looked no different from ordinary people.
"I'm going to see Er Xi!"
When Wu Ming entered the inner chamber, he saw that Wu Zhi had already sat up. Except for his slightly pale cheeks, he seemed to be fine.
"After all, he is a Martial Grandmaster, a half-step Martial Saint!"
A thought flashed through his mind, and he immediately put on a warm smile. "E Xuan!"
"Quick, let me see!"
Wu Zhi reached out and took the swaddle, as if all the treasures in the world were in his arms. He kissed it again and again, unable to get enough love.
"This is what a normal girl should look like …"
Wu Ming complained in his heart, but he naturally wouldn't spoil the fun at this time. He just stayed by her side.
"Husband, have you thought of a name for me?"
The family of three snuggled up to each other for a while before Wu Zhi asked softly.
"Hmm … Today, the army has broken through Dingzhou. This child's birth is like the will of heaven. Why don't we call him Ding?"
"Set? Ding 'er? "
Wu Zhi smiled, "It's a good name indeed!"
"Wait!"
The smile on her face suddenly froze. "The army broke into the city today?!"
"That's right. Now, Chen Jingzong and the others should have broken into the provincial magistrate's and provincial governor's mansions, right?"
Wu Ming said, "Today, more than a dozen large families in the city finally found a good opportunity to offer the city. With the Xie family's help, Zhang Wenzhen committed suicide. Everything is under control. You don't have to worry!"
"No!"
Wu Zhi propped himself up and actually wanted to lie down. "At this time, the army has entered the city, protecting the border and pacifying the people, sealing the provincial treasury, collecting household registration documents, official seals, and arresting rebels. These are all important matters. It's complicated. I'm afraid Ceng Yu and the others are too busy …"
"Miss …"
A midwife who came in was immediately dumbfounded.
She had never seen such a valiant and fierce woman. She had just given birth, yet she had to deal with military affairs!
"It's only a few days. It's nothing …"
Wu Ming waved his hand and pressed Wu Zhi's shoulder. Even though this woman was a half-step Martial Saint, she didn't dare to offend her husband at this time and obediently sat down.
"I've arranged everything for you. Rest for a few days first and then lead the army into the city. The entire Dingzhou knows that Dingzhou City was conquered under your leadership. No one can take the credit …"
Wu Ming smiled. For some reason, hearing his promise, Wu Zhi felt relieved.
She just lay down for a moment and played with her son. She rolled her eyes and called the wet nurse. Immediately, she said, "I won't go out. Can I look at the official war report first?"
Looking at her pitiful appearance, Wu Ming was completely speechless …
…
Three days later.
In the Dazhou world, the three days of a newborn, the full moon, and the hundred days were the most important. Each had a blessing ceremony.
Three days after a newborn was "Washing the Three," which meant to cleanse the filth and pray for peace and blessings.
Of course, for Wu Ming and Wu Zhi, they could avoid these red tape if they could. They just took this opportunity to openly hold a banquet with the officials and accept their congratulations.
Thus, Wu Zhi had impatiently led troops into the city and stationed them in the governor's manor to suppress the discontent.
With the help of the large aristocratic families, as well as the Xie and Lin families, everything in the city gradually returned to normal. Other than the curfew still being strict, the streets were more lively during the day. Because the war had ended, the prices of some goods that had been in short supply had even decreased.
Overall, the situation was not bad.
Inside the governor's manor.
"Reporting to the Provincial Governor!"
Ceng Yu was wearing a green robe and holding a document. She had the demeanor of a famous scholar, if not for the fact that her eyes were constantly looking around the child in Wu Zhi's arms.
"Speak!"
Wu Zhi handed the baby to the wet nurse and said with emotion.
Only then did Ceng Yu pull herself together. She knew that the person in front of her was not a woman who had just become a mother, but the commander of the Nanfeng Army who ruled the seven counties of Dingzhou and commanded 100,000 soldiers. She said in a low voice, "The provincial treasury has been sealed. All the documents and official seals are mostly intact. With the help of the Xie family, the officials we took over did not encounter any special difficulties …"
"All the civil and military officials in the city are smart people. How would they dare?"
Wu Zhi narrowed his eyes slightly and resumed his decisive look on the sofa. "Have the rewards and punishments been decided?"
"Yes … this time, after the Xie and Lin families contacted, there are a total of 17 aristocratic families in the city. The one who contributed the most is from the Xie family. His name is Xie Wusi!"
"As for the one who offered the west gate, it is Lieutenant Li Jun!"
"Is Xie Wusi still a commoner? He will be promoted to the county magistrate! And Li Jun? He will be rewarded with a thousand taels of silver each! "
Wu Zhi rubbed the space between his brows. "The officials who defected will be promoted by one rank. The aristocratic families will give their children places in the government, and they will be rewarded with gold and silver, land, and houses … This is the general rule. Go and draft a list and send it to me … Also, after the rewards, what about the punishments?"
Hearing this, Ceng Yu shuddered. "Governor Xu Chun died of illness in December last year … Provincial Governor Gao Shun also retired last year. As for Zhang Wenzhen's entire family, they have been detained!"
"Since Xu Chun is dead, I will not argue with him. Gao Shun retired early, so there is no reason to make things difficult for him … As for Zhang Wenzhen?"
Wu Zhi thought for a while. "This person is also a general. I do not want to make things difficult for his family!"
"Understood!"
With this intention, his subordinates naturally knew what to do.
Ceng Yu heaved a sigh of relief. "There is also the Sili Lieutenant. After we entered the city, we still tried to resist, and his entire family was killed!"
"There was a small group of envoys who broke through the siege and entered the city. Where are they now?"
Wu Zhi suddenly asked.
"There is no trace of them. According to the deputy of the relay station, they left the day before the city was breached …"
"Is that so?"
Wu Zhi frowned. "Issue a wanted order for the town to investigate to the end!"
"Understood!"
A Fire Phoenix Guard immediately knelt on one knee and went out to pass the order.
Being skilled in martial arts was also beneficial in dealing with government affairs.
With the help of Ceng Yu and the other civil officials, Wu Zhi read through the documents at a glance. His writing speed was also very fast. In an instant, he replied to all the documents that had accumulated. Then, he smiled and said, "Today is my son's big day. You must drink a few more cups!"
"This humble subject obeys!"
Ceng Yu was very self-aware, bowing and agreeing.
Wu Zhi left and went to the back hall. After changing into his regular clothes, he carried Ding 'er and went to the main hall of the provincial magistrate's manor with Wu Ming.
The banquet had been prepared a long time ago, and invitations had been sent to all the aristocratic families.
After all, as the future ruler, a meeting and a banquet were necessary for his future rule.
Of course, the baby's Xi San was used by his mother without conscience.
…
Inside the hall, there were many guests.
"Greetings, Jiedushi!"
"Congratulations, Jiedushi, on having Lin 'er!"
…
The people present were all elites of the various families, as well as the civil and military officials under Wu Zhi's command. When they saw Wu Zhi come out, their eyes immediately lit up and they all congratulated him.
At this moment, looking at the family of three again, the man's temperament was extraordinary, the woman's appearance was heroic, and the baby in her arms was very healthy. These would be the three people with the highest status in Dingzhou in the future.
"My son Xi San is grateful for all of you to come!"
As everyone took their seats, Wu Ming immediately felt many hidden gazes on him and the baby. He couldn't help but secretly laugh.
It was normal for these aristocratic families to keep a few Qi Watchers, so they must have known about the strange phenomenon that day.
Now that the main character had arrived, how could they not take a closer look?
However, at this moment, Ding 'er was deeply hidden. If they wanted to discover his background, they would first have to break through their own Sky Immortal magical power. For the people present, it was indeed a difficult task to accomplish.
At this moment, the servants set up a table in the hall. In the center was a huge jade basin, inside of which was a medicinal soup made of locust tree branches and mugwort leaves.
At this moment, Wu Ming took the lead and added a ladle of water to the basin, followed by Wu Zhi. This scene immediately made many people thoughtful.
This was also an ancient etiquette. According to seniority, one would take the lead and add a ladle of water to the basin, followed by some coins. This was called "adding the basin."
Of course, this could only be done by relatives of the same family. Wu Zhi had broken the rules and invited outsiders, which was to show his closeness. Naturally, those who were chosen were extremely excited and wished they could spend their entire family fortune to express their goodwill. Even the gold and silver baskets were considered vulgar. They were filled with precious stones, jade, pearls, agate, and the like, reflecting the light of treasures all around.
The old woman carried Ding 'er, took off his clothes, and placed him in the basin. As soon as the medicinal water was poured over him, the little guy immediately and unceremoniously began to cry loudly.
The old woman was not surprised, but rather happy. "The young master's basin is a great blessing!"
