Apprentice of the Heavens

Chapter 52
East Palace
In a courtyard, a loud cry sounded, and a moment later the door of the closed room was opened wide. Li Ming rushed into the room, looking at the pale Mu Nianci on the bed, Li Ming was heartbroken.
Stretching out his hand to hold the beautiful woman's hand, a warm internal force entered Mu Nianci's body. As the internal force of the Great Sky-Tonicing Technique entered Mu Nianci's face was no longer so pale and began to turn rosy, but his eyes were still exhausted, but his mind Exhausted a lot, need to rest and recover

"Brother Ming, where's the child?"

A tired voice came, and Li Ming withdrew his internal strength and looked backward. Huang Rong was holding a wrinkled baby by the bed, looking at the baby in her arms with curiosity in her eyes, and couldn't help but mutter in her heart that she was so ugly.

Seeing Mu Nianci talking about the child, he carefully put the baby beside Mu Nianci's pillow
Mu Nianci turned his head to look at the baby beside the pillow, his tired eyes were full of tenderness, he touched the baby's little hand lightly, a strange feeling rose from his heart, and the corner of his mouth smiled slightly

"Ming'er, it's a girl, you come up with a name."

Li Zunxu looked at Li Ming and said slowly, although he was a little regretful, he didn't say anything. After hearing this, Li Ming began to think, and after a while, he said in Mu Nianci's expectant eyes:
"Let's call her Li Qingsu. She is as pretty as a peach in three springs, and as fresh as a chrysanthemum in nine autumns. I think she must be as beautiful and refined as a kind heart."

"Qing Su..."

Mu Nianci gently stroked Li Qingsu's mouth and murmured softly, then he couldn't help but close his eyes, but fell asleep from exhaustion, with a warm smile on his lips.

Li Ming stroked the beauty's long hair lightly. Looking at the wrinkled baby, a feeling of blood connection rose in his heart, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but smile.

Huang Rong beside the bed touched her abdomen, she couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, why hasn't she moved for so long, wondering if she should go to the imperial doctor for a prescription.

Several people hugged Li Qingsu in turn, and ordered the maid to stay and take care of them, then they left the room, but they did not disturb the rest of the mother and daughter.
Li Ming took Huang Rongyu's hand, looked at the gloomy beauty, and rubbed her blue hair involuntarily
"What are you thinking about?"

One word awakened Huang Rong who was thinking, but she casually dismissed it. After a little thought, Li Ming understood what Huang Rong was thinking. He couldn't help but smile dumbly, and leaned into Huang Rong's ear and whispered:

"Looks like I'll have to work harder tonight"

Shun Jian's face was flushed, she glared at Li Ming angrily, pinched Li Ming's soft waist and turned it 180 degrees, although Li Ming didn't feel anything about it, but in order to prevent the beauty from becoming angry, he could only beg for mercy

"Hmph, stay here with my sister first, I'll go first"

After finishing speaking, Li Ming left the back of his head, and slowly walked out of the courtyard, but what made Li Ming a little puzzled was that Huang Rong seemed to be heading for the Tai Hospital, scratching her head and entering the room in a daze.

…………

Since then, the East Palace has heard babies crying from time to time, but it made Su Yun who came to visit smile all over her face, and said with a smile that she was much more interesting than when Li Ming was a child, which made Li Ming roll his eyes. , You must be irritable.

The days went by day by day, Li Ming was always with his two daughters and Xiao Qingsu except for dealing with government affairs and occasionally inspecting and training dragon riders.
In the blink of an eye, two months passed, and as time went by, the territory of the Kingdom of Jin was continuously eroded by Mongolia. Jin Xuanzong Wanyan Xun was even beaten and moved his capital to Longzhou. A city was breached
Since the start of the war, the territory of the entire Kingdom of Jin has shrunk by almost half. Since then, the Mongolian cavalry has swept across the north and officially bordered the Kingdom of Song.

The people in the north were even more afraid of the brutality of Mongolia and fled to Daxia one after another, which caused the population of Daxia to increase a lot. The national population has exceeded 8000 million. Fortunately, Li Ming was prepared, otherwise a large number of refugees would flood in , I guess it's not a small trouble
Looking at the information in his hands, Li Ming could only lament the decline of the Kingdom of Jin and the elite of the Mongolian army. He looked leisurely towards the direction of the North

the time has come
With Li Ming's will, the entire Great Xia began to operate, and with the continuous investment in the past few years, the roads throughout the Great Xia have been built in all directions. Relying on this, the speed of the transportation of ordnance and the supply of logistics are extremely fast.

Three days
At this time, Yinzhou's 20 infantry, [-] cavalry, and all kinds of weapons and food are in place.

Standing in front of the formation, Li Ming looked at the uniform army in front of him with a sense of heroism
The Great Xia army was divided into five armies by Li Ming
The White Tiger masters killing, Suzaku masters forging, Xuanwu masters water battles, and Azure Dragon masters guards

The White Tiger Legion is best at attacking cities and plundering land. All they are equipped with are armor and weapons that have been researched and improved by the Suzaku Army. They are also equipped with improved cannon carts that can be pulled by horses.

The Suzaku Army has only a small number of 3 people. It mainly studies weapons and forges all kinds of ordnance. Although the number is small, it is Li Ming's favorite
The Xuanwu Army is mainly a navy, with a scale of 10 people. Because Daxia is not facing the ocean at present, it can only be called a navy army for the time being. The ships equipped are also top-level warships, and one ship is equipped with five special artillery pieces.

The Qinglong Army is in charge of domestic stability and guards the city. It has a scale of 50 people. It is stationed at the border and important towns in various places. Most of its weapons are for defending the city.
"Order the whole army to march!"

With an order, the horn of the expedition sounded immediately, and the sound of beating drums spread all over the field.

Li Ming was dressed in green clothes, black armour, and a red cloak, and moved with the wind. He sat down and marched slowly with a neighing sound from the little white dragon. After the sound, three thousand great Xia dragon riders accompanied him. Li Ming looked towards the direction of Xingqing Mansion.
The future capital needs to be relocated, Chang'an or Luoyang would be good
With the sound of horseshoes and footsteps, Li Ming led the Great Xia Dragon Knight and 30 troops out of Yinzhou City and headed straight for Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures
When Da Xia quietly dispatched troops, in Xiangyang City, Guo Jing also led the disciples of the Beggar Clan, who were holding Lu Wende, who was about to escape, threatening him to fight against the Mongols.

At this time, Guo Jing lost his previous simple and honest appearance. He fought with the Mongolian army for half a year, especially the death of Li Ping made him seem to have grown a lot overnight, but he has a bit of Guo Daxia's demeanor
Guo Jing looked at Hua Zheng and Cheng Yaojia who were on the side
"Hua Zheng, Yao Jia, why do you guys do this?"

"I don't care, you are my son-in-law, don't try to get rid of me"

Huazheng looked at Guo Jing firmly, but the innocence of the past had disappeared.
Although Cheng Yaojia didn't speak, she also looked at Guo Jing firmly.
Guo Jing sighed helplessly:

"Do you know that defending Xiangyang this time will be a narrow escape"

"To die and die together"

Guo Jing looked at the two girls who spoke in unison, and couldn't help being moved. The three of them hugged each other tightly and looked into the distance from the tower.
