Chapter 738 [Shandong battle, killing several birds with one stone] seven
The shopkeeper and the waiter both secretly said: "I have long heard that Marshal Mu was so beautiful that when he was in Nanjing, he married twelve ladies in one day... Each of the ladies in the family was prettier than the last, and it turned out to be true when we saw him today.
Extraordinary...but I don’t know that this is Marshal Mu’s wife?”
When Yang Wan came over, the shopkeeper walked to her politely, bowed his head and said: "Madam, morning..." He handed over the letter Mu Linfeng left for Yang Wan and said: "This is
The letter the commander left for you..."
Yang Wan heard the words and asked curiously: "Commander? What commander?" The shopkeeper immediately said: "Oh, it's Prince Mu. The young one is ignorant. It's just that when the prince was in Yangzhou, he was still the commander. The young one is just used to it.
...Madam must be surprised..."
When Yang Wan saw the shopkeeper calling his wife repeatedly, he didn't know why he was so happy. After reading the letter, he sighed slightly, walked out of the inn slowly, and then murmured: "I'm afraid that someone in your house will
Those ladies cannot tolerate Wanruo!" Yang Wan, also known as Wan Shu, is also called Wan Ruo, just Wan Ruo. Uncle Wan is a bit...
After Mu Linfeng left the inn, she went back to Mu's old house and had a simple breakfast with Tagawa Meiko. Tagawa Meiko didn't ask Mu Linfeng where she went last night, but heard Mu Linfeng say to her: "Miko, one day
I hope you and your husband will go to the Zhong Mansion together. Nanping probably won’t be able to come, so on behalf of Nanping, go and see Mr. Zhong for the last time..."
Tagawa Meiko just said "hmm" softly. Since that night, although Tagawa Meiko has not officially become Mu Linfeng's woman, she has become much gentler towards Mu Linfeng, and she can often see a smile on her face.
.
After Mu Linfeng and Tagawa Miko arrived at the Zhong Mansion, it was still Pan Guofan who received them. Pan Guofan led the two of them to the backyard. Mu Linfeng asked Pan Guofan about Zhong Wannian's condition along the way. Pan Guofan just sighed: "Master, his eyesight is now
I can't see people clearly, and my ears can't hear clearly... Doctor Zheng is in the house... saying... I'm afraid I won't be able to survive today!"
When Mu Linfeng heard this, his heart moved, and he secretly thought that it was a good thing that he did not follow the armored ship to attack Weihai and Dengzhou. It was also a chance to catch up with Zhong Wannian for the last time. This could be regarded as showing his filial piety to Zhong Nanping.
Mu Linfeng was thinking when he saw the door of Zhong Wannian's room opened and several people walked out. Among them, the one walking in the front was Zheng Baoyu, followed by Zhong Tian and Zhong Bin.
They all looked depressed. As soon as Zhong Bin stepped out of the room, he immediately asked Zheng Baoyu: "Doctor Zheng, don't you know that my father..."
Zheng Baoyu shook his head repeatedly and sighed: "As I said just now, I am afraid that the old man will not be prouder than today at noon. I have tried my best. I don't have the ability to bring the dead back to life or change my life against the will of heaven..."
Zhong Tian let out a long sigh and turned around to see Pan Guofan leading Mu Linfeng and Tagawa Meiko towards here. He quickly stepped forward and cupped his hands: "Your Majesty, Fifth Madam..."
Mu Linfeng patted Zhong Tian on the shoulder, sighed slightly, and then said: "Brother, this is not an outside place, just call me Linfeng..."
Zhong Tian nodded slightly and then said: "I'm afraid the old man won't make it...but he keeps talking about Nanping..."
Mu Linfeng sighed after hearing this, patted Zhong Tian on the shoulder, and asked: "Brother, you won't blame me if I don't let Nanping come back, right?"
Zhong Tian heard the words and quickly shook his head and said: "Being a brother is not what I mean. Don't worry about Linfeng... Nanping is pregnant at the moment. Even if you don't tell Linfeng, we won't let her come back... It's just that this old man can't see Nanping."
, I’m just afraid to close my eyes..."
When Mu Linfeng heard this, this was what he thought. After all, it was human ethics. He immediately glanced at Tagawa Meiko beside him and said to Zhong Tianda: "I heard from Butler Pan that the old man can no longer recognize people or hear words clearly?"
Zhong Tian nodded when he heard the words, and his throat was a little choked, but he heard Mu Linfeng say to Zhong Tian at this time: "It's better to let Meiko be Nanping and see the old man for the last time, so that the old man can leave with peace of mind..."
As soon as Mu Linfeng said this, Zhong Tian and Tagawa Meiko were both on the same side. Zhong Tian pondered for a while and then said: "This method is good, I don't know about the fifth lady..." He looked at Tagawa Meiko.
Tagawa Meiko saw Mu Linfeng and Zhong Tian looking at her, and Mu Linfeng even said to herself: "Miko, only you can do this this time..."
Before Mu Linfeng finished speaking, he saw Tagawa Meiko nodding her head and saying, "Miko will listen to your husband in everything!"
Upon hearing this, Mu Linfeng immediately held Miko Tagawa's hand with gratitude and said softly: "Miko, it's good to have you..."
At this time, Zheng Baoyu came forward and bowed his hands to Mu Linfeng and said: "Your Majesty..." Then he looked at Tagawa Meiko and said: "Miss Cousin... no... Fifth Madam... you are here too!"
At this time, Tagawa Meiko stepped forward to hold Zheng Baoyu's hand and said, "How are you doing, Uncle Zheng?"
Zheng Baoyu smiled slightly, but before he spoke, Mrs. Zhong's voice came from the room, shouting: "Master, Nanping is back, hold on..."
Upon hearing this, Mu Linfeng immediately took Tagawa Meiko's hand and said, "Without further ado, Meiko, let's go in..." Then he took Tagawa Meiko's hand and walked into the room.
At this time, Zhong Wannian was lying on the bed, already skinny and skinny, with his eyes slightly closed, and his mouth slightly opened as he said: "Nanping..."
Mrs. Zhong was sitting by the bed, holding Zhong Wannian's hand, already sobbing.
Mu Linfeng said at this time: "Father-in-law, my son-in-law has brought Nanping back to see you!" As he said this, he pulled Tagawa Meiko and walked to Zhong Wannian's bedside.
Mrs. Zhong originally really thought it was her daughter Zhong Nanping who had returned. As soon as she turned around, she did not see Zhong Nanping. As soon as she spoke to her, she was pulled aside by Zhong Tian to explain.
Zhong Wannian seemed to have heard Zhong Nanping's name. He opened his eyes slightly and turned to look at Mu Linfeng and Tagawa Miko. At this time, he tried hard to sit up. Mu Linfeng quickly sat beside the bed and supported Zhong Wannian.
As soon as Zhong Wannian sat up, he grabbed Tagawa Miko's hand and said softly: "Nanping...Dad...Dad can't be pregnant...You are pregnant now...Dad probably can't see it."
A grandson was born..."
Mu Linfeng said to Zhong Wannian from the side: "Father-in-law, don't say that, you will definitely be able to wait until that day. We are still waiting for you to name the child!"
At this time, Tagawa Meiko didn't know whether she was acting or was emotionally moved by the scene. Thinking of her deceased brother, tears overflowed from the corners of her eyes. She held Zhong Wannian's hand tightly and burst into tears.
Mrs. Zhong, Zhong Tian and Zhong Bin on the side also had tears on their faces. Zhong Tian and Zhong Bin supported Mrs. Zhong, fearing that the old woman would not be able to hold on.
At this moment, Zhong Wannian was still holding Tagawa Miko's hand and murmured: "Name?... Well... the name of the child is very important... Dad is a rough man who runs around in the world... How can he do such nonsense?
Mo’s things...it’s better to find a gentleman and come up with a good name..."
When Zhong Wannian said this, he coughed a few times and continued: "Nanping... you married into a good family... and now you are pregnant... Dad can leave with peace of mind... From now on, you will take care of your husband and raise your children.
Don't be willful anymore... Dad is gone... You should always bring your children back to see your mother... Dad has seen you for the last time... Dad can leave with peace of mind..."
When Zhong Wannian said this, there was only a rustling sound in his throat. Soon after, the hand holding Zhong Nanping had dropped, his neck was tilted to the side, and he stopped moving... Suddenly there was a burst of crying in the room.
…
Zhong Wannian just left. Mu Linfeng looked at Zhong Wannian in his arms and suddenly thought of his master Mu Ren. He couldn't help feeling sad in his heart, and tears suddenly flowed down unconsciously.
At this time, in the military camp, Hong Chengchou had already arranged everything. He was waiting for Mu Linfeng's order to march directly to Xuzhou. However, Mu Linfeng had not returned for a long time. Although he was the commander, Mu Linfeng came to the front line in person.
Before the war started, there were still
It was necessary to ask Mu Linfeng for instructions. When Hong Chengchou was anxious and furious, he received the news from the soldiers and found out that Mu Linfeng had gone to Huai'an two days ago and was now in Yangzhou. At the same time, he also learned that
received the news of Zhong Wannian’s death.
Hong Chengchou didn't know Zhong Wannian, so naturally he wouldn't be sad. He just slapped the table hard and said in a deep voice: "It seems that this war will be dragged on again!"
Hong Chengchou was depressed when he saw a soldier of Mu Linfeng coming outside the camp. After entering the camp, he handed Hong Chengchou a letter. Hong Chengchou took it and read it, his face changed slightly, and the general on the side quickly asked: "Marshal,
What is your order, Your Majesty?"
Hong Chengchou sighed slightly and said: "Your Majesty has ordered me to mobilize my own troops to capture Xuzhou. After Your Majesty expresses condolences to Mr. Zhong, he will go to Xuzhou. At that time, Your Majesty will see that Xuzhou has been recovered..."
The general heard this and said curiously: "This condolence only lasts for a few days. How can we capture Xuzhou in just a few days? Could it be that the prince is deliberately making things difficult for the commander-in-chief?"
Hong Chengchou stood up at this time, and after pacing in the camp for a long time, he said to the general: "Your Majesty asked us to use steam cannons to attack Xuzhou... Could it be that the power of this steam cannon is really so powerful?... If so.
, why do you want to mobilize so many people here? What on earth is the prince thinking... Could it be..."
