"Sister..." Diao Chan gracefully bowed to Ning'er, and Ning'er gently raised her hand to help her up.
"Sister, she seems to be looking bad, is there anything wrong with her?" Diao Chan asked thoughtfully when she saw that Ning'er's face seemed to be wrong.
"It's late at night and you're exposed. My sister doesn't go to bed early. She won't let Zijuan find some clothes for you to wear. If this hurts your body..."
"Zicuckoo, go quickly and get a cloak for Madam..."
Seeing Diao Chan caring about her so much, Ning'er felt warm in her heart. Since Diao Chan entered the house in September, she has always been respectful and courteous to her. She never stops looking at him in the morning and dusk. After she became pregnant, she even asked him about her welfare. Diao Chan's character , Ning'er was very satisfied. She was not an arrogant person, and she and Diao Chan quickly became good sisters. Especially after she was pregnant and recuperating, Ning'er left all the affairs in the back house of the county to Diao Chan to take care of. .
Diao Chan was once a female official in the palace, and she handled all the trivial matters in the palace in an orderly manner, which made Ning'er feel at ease.
She smiled and waved her hands and said: "No, I just saw the moonlight and thought of some things in the past. When I was young, I wandered around the world for many years, and my body was not that delicate."
"Sister, you are thinking about your husband," Diao Chan joked with a smile, but looking at the moonlight, there was no trace of lovesickness in her eyes.
"Aren't you the same as me?" Ning'er smiled and tapped Diao Chan's forehead, and the two of them laughed.
"Madam, I'll give you a cloak." At this time, a young maid hurriedly walked into the pavilion holding a cloak. She looked at her messy hair and a hint of sleepiness in her eyes.
There was a hint of displeasure in Diao Chan's eyes, and when the maid stepped back, she said, "Sister, I am pregnant now. How can I use such a careless maid? What if..." She suddenly realized that she had made a mistake and hurriedly covered her mouth.
Ning'er didn't take it seriously and said with a smile: "Forget it, Zijuan's reaction is a little slow, but she is still diligent. She was born as a maid and is also a hard-working person. After all, how many people can be as considerate as Qiao'e? Oh, where’s Qiao’e?”
Diao Chan covered her mouth and smiled sweetly: "Her, I went to see this little girl just now, haha, she is also lovesick in the house."
Ning'er gently stroked her belly and sighed: "Hey, speaking of which, my husband has been gone for several months. I don't know when this war will end..."
Diao Chan smiled and comforted: "Don't worry, sister, my husband will definitely come back before she gives birth."
"Oh, how can you be so confident?" Ning'er looked at Diao Chan in surprise and said.
"Uh... I have a feeling that your husband will definitely come back within a month," Diao Chan comforted with a smile.
Ning'er sighed deeply: "I hope so..."

Wen Yuan was standing on the towering wall of the village, silently looking at the stretching Yuan Jun camp in the night.
For three days, Yuan Shaojun did not launch an attack immediately after filling up the trench, but Wen Yuan did not dare to take it lightly. According to the report from the sentry cavalry, Yuan Shaojun seemed to be recharging his energy and building siege weapons. This meant that Once the next attack is launched, it will definitely be a storm.
Now, the walled city has been surrounded by tens of thousands of Yuan Shao's troops and horses, and Wen Yuan cannot get any news from the outside world. However, Yuan Jun did not attack for three days, and Wen Yuan vaguely felt that the situation was moving in the direction he expected.
"It's the tenth day..." Wen Yuan silently counted the time and walked down the wall of the village...
On the second day, Wen Yuan was discussing matters in the camp when he suddenly heard the sound of drums and horns outside the camp.
"Here we come," Wen Yuan stood up with a whoosh and strode out of the tent, followed closely by a group of generals.
Wen Yuan quickly climbed up the wall and saw that outside the city, there were forests of spears and halberds, flags like rain, and hundreds of siege vehicles of all kinds. At a glance, Yuan's army was all in darkness. Looking from a distance, , a chilling momentum condensed on Yuan Jun's battle formation, which no one dares to underestimate.
After three days of rest, Yuan Jun's army was at its peak. Yuan Shao was not an easy man.
Wen Yuan frowned slightly, and the soldiers around him also had solemn expressions on their faces, and...
Yuan Shao, dressed in robes, came to the wall of the stronghold surrounded by generals. He was so proud that he raised his whip and jumped on his horse and said: "Listen to the Julu soldiers in the city, you can quickly capture them. The Shangdang soldiers have withdrawn to Shangdang." Commandery, you have no hope anymore. If you know what to do, surrender obediently. If you wait for me to break the camp, don't blame my men for being ruthless."
As soon as these words came out, the guards on the city couldn't help but look at each other with doubts. Although the Julu Army's military morale was stable, it was inevitable that they would be affected by some.
Wen Yuan's face was calm and there was no trace of sadness or joy. Yuan Shao had indeed received the news of the Shangdang army's northward retreat. It seemed that he was completely relieved. The situation had not deviated from Wen Yuan's expectations, but could he always follow the instructions? Wen Yuan's idea is to first see if he can withstand the fierce attack of 60,000 or even more troops in front of him, but in any case, taking this step is his own choice...
"Ah, Yuan Shaopi, if you want to disturb our military morale, there is no way. Our Julu soldiers are all upright men. There are no cowards who surrender. If you have the courage, just come over. If I don't show you One hundred and eight tricks, I can choose your last name,"
Wen Yuan didn't say anything, but Zhou Cang started yelling at the top of his lungs. His voice was as loud as thunder, not much inferior to Zhang Fei's. As soon as he roared, a large number of sergeants inside and outside the village could hear clearly. Suddenly a burst of laughter broke out.
"Bold villager, you dare to speak out against me. Xiansi, I order you to lead the troops to attack the stronghold. When the stronghold is broken, no one will be left alive." Yuan Shao felt annoyed when he saw that his method of destroying the morale of the Julu Army did not work. , turned around and shouted to Yuan Tan.
Yuan Tan shook his armor, bowed his hands and bowed, and shouted loudly: "My child obeys the order," after saying that, he stepped forward with his gun, pointed the big gun, and more than ten thousand soldiers pushed hundreds of siege equipment like surging waves. They rushed towards the four city walls.
"Prepare the thunder truck," Wen Yuan ordered in a concentrated voice as he looked at Yuan Jun's loose charging formation. Yuan Jun had obviously suffered enough from the thunder truck, so he set up such a loose formation, including the arrow-blocking vehicle for siege. , the wells are all arranged irregularly. To deal with Yuan Jun who rushes up like this, the power of the meteorite vehicle will be greatly reduced.
"Lord, look at that..." Tai Shici beside him suddenly shouted. Wen Yuan looked in the direction of Guo Jia's fingers and saw more than a dozen wooden instruments that he had never seen before being slowly carried by a group of soldiers. Slowly advance, it is a horizontal bar, supported by a wooden frame below. A leather bag is tied with a rope on one end of the horizontal bar, and many ropes are tied on the other end. No one has seen this kind of siege equipment in Yuan's army before.
