"Bah! You're the No. 1 secret agent in Tianzi. He doesn't even know how to survive, and he ran away!"
Zuo Zhou spat in an uncivilized manner, and Duan Tianya ran away, leaving Zuo Zhou alone to face Yin Wenjiao, who was complaining of stomachache.
"How about you keep insisting? It doesn't seem to be easy to find a stable woman here."
"Then I'll stick to it..."
Yin Wenjiao expressed her understanding. After all, they were in a small county town now. The county town here was naturally incomparable with the earth next door in their previous life, both in terms of scale and the ratio of various occupations.
There was only one Wen Po in the entire county, but because there were no pregnant women expecting to give birth in the local area recently, Wen Po went out to visit relatives. Naturally, their sudden arrival from outsiders became poor children without a wet nurse to take care of them.
Zuo Zhou didn't care about the trouble of finding the Shishamen stronghold in the county, and drove the carriage directly to Changzhou, the nearest place. As soon as he heard the name of this place, he could understand that it must be a place with a lot of water.
This is actually the city closest to the base camp of the Ming Navy. After all, the Ming Navy is the strongest among all countries. Of course, this does not mean that all other countries’ navies are weak. Take Great Qin as an example. Great Qin has always been the strongest in the world.
Landlocked countries, whose territory is not close to the sea or large rivers, do not have the conditions to train naval forces.
The Ming Kingdom is different. The Ming Kingdom itself is close to the sea, and the rivers and lakes in the country are also very large. Compared with the natural environment, the Ming Kingdom is better than other countries. This also provides a very convenient way for the development of their navy.
Conditions, so the strength of the Ming Navy also made the Qin cavalry somewhat helpless. At least the strategy of crossing the water to attack would be difficult to succeed.
I remember Zuo Zhou heard Prince Consort Xiao mention that Zheng He, the naval commander of the Ming Dynasty, was a great talent in the world. If they were not each their own masters, they should be able to become friends.
The Great Qin Iron Cavalry was rarely blocked when it swept across the world. The Ming Dynasty Navy suffered a defeat. If Xiao Prince Consort had not sneaked into the rear of the Ming Kingdom and interfered with the navy's logistics through bribery and other means, I am afraid that the Great Qin Iron Cavalry would not have fought without it.
An incredible record.
But even so, Zheng He, the commander of the navy, stopped the losses in time to preserve the effectiveness of the Ming Dynasty navy, which allowed the navy to develop again after the Qin Dynasty withdrew its troops.
When Zuo Zhou arrived in Changzhou, it was already very late. Looking back, Yin Wenjiao, who was sweating on her forehead, was also convinced. If she said she could hold back, hold on, this bitch is also a ruthless character.
They rushed into the city before the city gate was closed. The guard guarding the gate understood what was going on when he saw Yin Wenjiao in the carriage, and enthusiastically pointed out where Po Wen was.
Zuo Zhou didn't delay and drove straight on. However, he discovered a lot of problems along the way. There were many white curtains on both sides of the street. This custom should be done when someone in the family dies. Is it possible?
Many people died at the same time? Was it a plague or an accident?
The most famous Wen Po here in Changzhou is actually a female doctor here, whose surname is Tan and whose name is Yunxian. I heard that she comes from a family with medical skills. When she saw Yin Wenjiao, she decided to deliver her baby first.
Zuo Zhou looked at the long medical queue and felt a little embarrassed, "How about we queue up too?"
Tan Yunxian looked at him strangely, "This is not your wife, I really don't feel bad."
"The main reason is that I am more public-spirited. Okay, you can just continue to pretend that I don't exist." Zuo Zhou couldn't stand the strange looks in Tan Yunxian's eyes and those of a group of patients.
Here, Tan Yunxian was checking Yin Wenjiao's pulse, and then his expression became even weirder than before.
"Doctor, do you want to ask about the elder or the younger? I will protect the younger!" Zuo Zhou stepped forward to answer.
Tan Yunxian's impression of Zuo Zhou was completely different. Well, although it was not uncommon in this era to keep a child a child, as a woman, Tan Yunxian still equated him with a villain.
"Mother and baby are healthy. They will give birth tomorrow at Yinshi."
"Huh? Can the due date be accurate to a certain time? I don't study well, so don't lie to me!"
Tan Yunxian's expression became even weirder, "This is the first time I have encountered this situation. His pulse is like a countdown, and it is indeed accurate to tomorrow's Yin hour. As for whether it is good or bad, I really can't tell, or you can wait
Wait, wait until my father comes back and let him take a look."
"Oh, let's just wait."
Zuo Zhou and Yin Wenjiao actually understood as soon as they heard the 'countdown'. This must be the reason why Jin Chan escaped from her shell. When the time comes, she will die and be reborn as this child. But naturally they can't explain it so clearly, anyway.
I have to deliver babies, so I might as well stay here.
Tan Yunxian went to see the patients in line again, and Zuo Zhou casually chatted with an aunt next to him who was waiting for medicine.
"Sister, why do you all hang up white curtains? Was there an accident?"
The aunt saw that Zuo Zhou was handsome and replied enthusiastically: "You're from out of town? You don't know something. The Governor passed away due to illness. We are commemorating him."
"Grand Governor? Zheng...Then the current Grand Governor is..."
"The imperial court is busy fighting a war. There is no official appointment yet, but for the time being, we will listen to Zheng Yi. Oh, he is the adopted son of the Governor."
"That's it, what a pity, what a pity!"
Zuo Zhou shook his head with a regretful look and returned to Yin Wenjiao's side. On the surface, he was accompanying her, but in his heart, he turned away.
According to Prince Consort Xiao, Zheng He is already in his mid-sixties this year, which is considered old for ordinary people. However, he is a master at the perfection level of the Renbang Grandmaster. He is still at the peak of his age. How could he die of illness?
Well, the rules of this world are so overbearing. Unless it is a very powerful poison, zhenqi can protect you. Not only is it immune to all diseases, but it can also be immune to most diseases in the world.
"General Li, please take a step to speak."
Just when Zuo Zhou was in a daze, a young man dressed as a boy came over and spoke to him in a low voice. Zuo Zhou got up and followed him to the side. Tan Yunxian glanced over here but didn't ask any more questions.
"You know me?"
"Commander Li sent out your portrait and asked us to fully cooperate with you, but I didn't expect you to come here."
Zuo Zhou suddenly realized, "Li Yuzhu, um, are you here staring at the Ming Navy?"
The young exile shook his head, "No, the general misunderstood. In fact, we have been paying attention to the movements of the Ming army. Zhu Qizhen secretly issued orders to the navy before, so we naturally transferred part of our strength here."
side."
"Um?"
Zuo Zhou's eyes widened sharply, Zhu Qizhen's order? "Damn it, he didn't want to send the navy to meet the Qing army, and let the navy collide with the Qing army's cavalry? What did he think?"
The young exile shook his head, "We don't know the specific details of the order, but the military advisor thought it was a bit unusual, so he asked us to follow him to have a look, but we didn't expect to meet the general."
"Well, since it's just a coincidence, you don't have to worry about me. If you have any plans, just carry them out yourself."
"Thank you for your understanding, General."
Zuo Zhou waved his hand and dismissed the other party. Not long after returning to Yin Wenjiao, he saw a middle-aged man walking back with a worried look on his face.
"Dad, you're back. There's a patient. I'm a little unsure. Please take a look!"
After listening to Tan Yunxian's words, the middle-aged man saw Zuo Zhou. Experts knew that maybe Zuo Zhou's improvement was too good. He looked at Yin Wenjiao at a glance. He stretched out his hand to feel for his pulse, "Eh? What the hell...
"
"Keep the child alive or the child alive?"
"..."
The middle-aged man looked at Zuo Zhou in confusion, "Who are you?"
"Uh... the father of the child is a bastard!"
Zuo Zhou also spoke concisely, and the doctor could understand him with just one sentence. He sighed and gently put down Yin Wenjiao's hand, "Keep me safe!"
"As a doctor, what do you mean when you say this?"
"This lady is in a very strange state. She is waiting for the birth like a countdown, but... this countdown is not only for the child, but also for her!"
The middle-aged man paused as he spoke, but there was no expression of surprise on their faces. This made it clear that they were both from the world of martial arts, and as a doctor, he had seen even stranger illnesses.
"This child has been absorbing the life essence of the mother's body, and at the same time feeding back a substance that can replace energy to maintain the vitality of the mother's body, but what kind of thing will be broken when the child leaves the mother's body, and the mother's body will also become a
Empty shell. I don’t know how this is done. The only thing I can do is to make her give birth less painful.”
Zuo Zhou rolled his eyes, "Haha, I can do it too. I can just give a bowl of anesthetic and then take out the baby by caesarean section. Do you still need it?"
"Hey, what are you talking about?" Tan Yunxian glared and raised the silver needle to evolve to Grandma Rong.
The middle-aged man waved his hand and said with a smile: "This young hero is right. This is indeed my method. Although it sounds cold, it is indeed the most efficient method. However, I have a way to make her
Look at your child when it’s born.”
“No need to look at it at all!”
Yin Wenjiao's words to the middle-aged man and Tan Yunxian made him suffer from autism. They had never seen such a... chic patient.
Finally, Tan Yunxian prescribed two doses of strong anesthetic to Zuo Zhou, and then kicked Zuo Zhou out.
Zuo Zhou happily took Yin Wenjiao to an inn, "Is there anything you want to eat? Eat more while you can still eat."
Yin Wenjiao was not polite. She thought for a while and said, "I want to eat hawthorn cake. In the past, when my father coaxed me to take medicine, he would add hawthorn cake."
"Hawthorn cake?" Zuo Zhou glanced outside. It was getting dark. There were fewer people on the road at this time. It is estimated that the snack shop will be closed, but... "What you said reminded me, there should be some in the drug store as well."
Hawthorn cake, I’ll go back and find the doctor to prescribe some hawthorn cake for you.”
Yin Wenjiao didn't care. Zuo Zhou had already gone out. Zuo Zhou was not in a hurry this time. In fact, besides buying hawthorn cakes, he also wanted to go to the Navy Commander's Mansion to check out the situation.
However, when he saw a fire surrounding the entire pharmacy, he knew that he would not be able to go to the Governor's Mansion tonight.
