Inside the Zhenbei Army camp.

"Dad, I've thought about it. We are now in a stalemate with the enemy, which is very disadvantageous to our army."

The Marquis of Zhenbei looked at the map with a frown on his face. "The court has been slow to send reinforcements. I'm afraid they want our Zhenbei Army to fight the enemy on their own."

Zhao Zhen thought of the court's inaction, his eyes were fierce, "Dad, what are the court thinking? Don't they plan to take over the Northland?"

The Marquis of Zhenbei sneered, "Humph, now that the emperor is unconscious, the King of Jin and the King of Qi have both set their sights on the prince. The Ministry of War is controlled by the King of Qi, and the prince's forces are all civil officials. The prince may not be able to defeat the King of Qi and the King of Jin. The days ahead will probably be chaotic!"

The Marquis of Zhenbei is also worried now. The Hu people are trying to find a way out by stirring up the internal strife in the Shang Dynasty.

"Dad, I heard from the spies that the Eastern Turks are also ready to make a move. If they unite with the Xianbei, we will be in a passive position."

The Marquis of Zhenbei looked at the map and thought about the location of the Eastern Turks. "If the Eastern Turks intervene, they will probably come from Dingrang County. The army led by Li Guozhu is in the Yanmen area and should be able to help us."

Zhao Zhen thought of the letter she received, gritted her teeth, and said, "Dad, there's a letter from mom, it was delivered to me, Qin is lost."

Zhenbei Hou was shocked, "Lost? How could it be lost? Didn't you send soldiers to pick him up?"

The Marquis of Zhenbei almost roared out loud. The current situation was unfavorable to the Zhenbei Army. If the Eastern Turks sent troops, the 30,000 troops led by Li Guozhu would be of great use.

Otherwise, if the Zhenbei Army faced the Turkic and Xianbei countries, it would be the end of it.

At this time, Zhenbei Hou urgently needed to establish a good relationship with Li Guozhu.

"Dad, when my mother left, she probably didn't take Qin with her."

The fist of the Marquis of Zhenbei fell heavily on the table, and with a "snap", the table broke into two pieces.

"Foolish woman, foolish woman, so stupid!"

Zhenbei Hou paced back and forth in the tent angrily, "No, no, Qin must be found quickly, and we must keep it a secret from Li Guozhu, don't let him know anything."

Zhao Zhen immediately said, "Dad, I have sent my cousin to Yanbei City to look for him."

Zhenbei Hou nodded, "Jing Rui is safe, it's feasible to send him."

"Dad, in addition to Qin, my third brother and my second uncle's family also disappeared on the road, and their whereabouts are unknown now."

Marquis Zhenbei closed his eyes, it was too late to regret, he should not have allowed the Song family to make trouble in the first place. If it were not for the wedding banquet, Marquis Zhenbei would have stopped regretting when he thought of this. It would be useless to think too much about something that would not help.

"Da Lang, do you have any good suggestions for the current situation?"

Zhao Zhen did have his own ideas when he came here. He pointed to the map and said, "Dad, I want to lead 1000 cavalrymen from Anle County and go this way to directly capture the heartland of the Xianbei."

Zhenbei Hou pondered, "Da Lang, if this succeeds, it can solve the current dilemma. If it fails, you will..."

Zhenbei Hou did not say the rest of the words, as both of them knew what failure meant.

"Dad, this is the only solution at the moment. If the war drags on for too long, it will be disadvantageous to our Zhenbei Army. Moreover, it is already autumn, and it is the time for harvest. We cannot let the Hu people take advantage of the large tracts of farmland we have planted in the north. There are also the families of the soldiers in the army who are left in the Hu people's territory. We must rescue those people quickly."

Zhenbei Hou patted Zhao Zhen on the shoulder and said, "Good job, you are very thoughtful."

Zhao Zhen was very happy to see that Zhenbei Marquis agreed, "Dad, I will go and select soldiers and horses to go with me today."

"Okay, you can pick any one from the cavalry battalion!"

"Thank you dad!"

After Zhao Zhen left the tent, Marquis Zhenbei was not as relaxed as before.

After thinking about it, he decided to write a letter to Li Guozhu to see if he could delay the Turkic army.

Zhao Zhen was very quick. After selecting 1000 cavalrymen, he led his men and set off quietly overnight.

This time, all the troops setting out are cavalry, and they are fast, so they want to take the enemy by surprise.

Zhao Zhen set off on horseback, carrying a spear and looking very heroic.

Zhao Mian watched Zhao Zhen leave, eyes full of envy, "Kong Wu, isn't the gap between me and my elder brother getting bigger?"

Kong Wu advised, "Sir, this time you go out, it's a risky move, I'm afraid you'll die, I think it's better not to go."

Zhao Mian scolded: "Am I the kind of person who is afraid of death?"

Kong Wu immediately lowered his head and said, "No, that's not what I meant. The Second Young Master has just entered the battlefield and needs more experience before the Marquis can rest assured that he will go to the battle."

Zhao Mian's expression became better. "Well, one day, I will definitely surpass my elder brother."

Kong Wu thought of the news he had heard, "Sir, I heard that the third son is missing, and the second son's family is also missing."

Zhao Mian immediately thought of his aunt, "A letter came from home. How is my mother?"

"I haven't heard that Aunt Lu is in trouble."

Zhao Mian couldn't wait any longer, "No, I want to ask my father in person."

After saying this, Zhao Mian hurried to find the Marquis of Zhenbei, having long forgotten about his envy of Zhao Zhen's going to the war.

Yanbei City.

In the following days, Qin Wan lived a peaceful life and she adapted very well.

It is autumn now and the weather in the north is getting colder. She wears more clothes, so other people can't see her pregnant belly.

Besides, she had passed the period of morning sickness, and the people in her family did not realize that she was pregnant.

At this time, her hair has grown a little longer and now reaches her ears.

Qin Wan tied a small bun on the back of her head, and her hair was tightly attached to her scalp. In the eyes of others, she looked not beautiful at all.

That day, Qin Wan was changing clothes in her room when the second wife walked in with new clothes.

"Awan, take a look at the underwear I made for you, do you like it?"

The Second Lady already knew that Qin Wan was not good at housework, and she also knew that she was at her uncle's house and had not been taught by her aunt how to manage the household and embroider. She felt even more distressed for Qin Wan.

In the past, the Second Lady had always been indifferent to Qin Wan, and even felt that she was the daughter-in-law of the First House and it was not appropriate for her to have too close a relationship with her, so as not to displease the Marquis's wife.

But now, not to mention her initial rescue, even if you meet her on a daily basis, you can tell that Qin Wan is a good girl who is cold on the outside but warm on the inside.

When the Second Madam saw Qin Wan’s belly, her eyes narrowed slightly, and she quickly turned around and closed the door tightly.

Qin Wan looked at the Second Madam's actions curiously, "Second Aunt?"

The second lady put the clothes on the table and walked forward quickly, "Awan, your belly? Are you pregnant?"

Qin Wan nodded, "Yes, we have a baby!"

The second wife's tears fell all of a sudden, "Awan, you have suffered."

After saying that, he hugged Qin Wan and started crying.

Qin Wan: “….”
