Qin Shi Ambitious

"Judging from the efficacy of that dose, it might be able to completely cure Doctor Nian Duan!"

"Then let's leave now!"

Carefully taking the small medicine bottle from Lu Wei's hands, and hearing his next words, Duanmu Rong's tearful eyes shone with bright hope: "Whatever that senior wants in exchange, I will try my best to find it!"

"Don't rush~" As long as the two female doctors are willing to go to Daze Mountain, I will succeed in my plan against the medical family.

Lu Wei, whose plan had succeeded, turned around and said, "I'll go to the shore of Mirror Lake to arrange a carriage to wait. Physician Nian Duan's health needs to be stabilized."

"We will try to minimize the number of transportation changes during this trip, so we will take a longer route. Please pack your luggage."

"I may not be able to return to the medical village for a long time."

"Yes, I understand." Duanmu Rong wiped away her tears, stood up, turned around, and bowed respectfully: "Brother Lu, thank you!"

------

Yan Dan personally inspected the city walls and defenses of Ji City on a daily basis. He often ate and slept with the city's defense troops in the military camp. He also generously rewarded the generals, soldiers, and even the common people who helped carry the city's defense weapons with the treasures of the royal palace.

He wanted to dedicate the entire nation's resources to building an impregnable military fortress, both in terms of equipment and morale.

However, the purpose of this fortress was not to protect the Yan state.

The Yan state is doomed to perish now, no matter what. The Qin army has the patience and logistical support to besiege the city for years and hold onto it.

King Dan of Yan is now solely focused on fulfilling his agreement with Lord Changping: to resist the Qin army for a year and hold Ji City firmly.

He was willing to do anything for this agreement: after all, the treasures would be taken into the Qin royal palace after the fall of Yan.

Rather than letting the enemy plunder it, we should distribute it all to the soldiers defending the city!

After enjoying a hearty drink with a group of city guards, Yan Dan returned to the desolate palace.

The pitch-black palace resembled a ferocious beast that devoured people.

'From a young age, I wanted to be the master of this magnificent royal city, and now I've achieved it!'

Stopping in his tracks, Yan Dan opened his arms, trying to embrace the towering main hall from afar: "I am the King of Yan!"

"The Last King!"

His heart sank, and he started walking again, but after taking only three steps, he stopped once more.

"Since you're here, why don't you show up?"

"Do you really want to see me again?"

A cold, sharp female voice echoed from the darkness all around.

Upon hearing this voice, Yan Dan's expression was complex, but only for a moment before his expression hardened and hardened:

"Lord Dongjun of the Yin-Yang School dares to show his face in my Yan Kingdom!"

He pulled out his black eyebrow, and a black inner energy, darker than the night, appeared around Yan Dan.

Uncontrolled air blades rampaged, wantonly destroying the white stone steps of the royal palace and the statues on both sides of the steps.

This palace will be occupied by the Qin army in the future, so I don't care about destroying it now.

"I will avenge you for killing my father!"

"Father-killing?" Only his voice could be heard in the darkness, but his face was not seen: "If I hadn't killed him, how could you have become the King of Yan?"

"I just did what you wanted to do but didn't dare to."

There was no resentment in Dongjun's voice, but that was the most terrifying thing.

"Unfortunately, you, the Prince of Yan, are unqualified, even inferior to your father."

"Despite putting on a show of mutual destruction, you don't have the guts, nor will you perish with this city, do you?"

Yan Dan's eyes widened in surprise. Mo Mei unleashed a sword strike at the darkness before her, then lunged forward, only to find no one there...

He went to the wrong place...

"You're getting angry because I told you your plans? Heh."

"What do you think will happen if the King of Qin finds out about this plan?"

The sound came from behind, but Yan Dan's gaze was precisely fixed on the left, and he raised Mo Mei and slashed at it again.

A dull thud. Dongjun, whose position had been exposed, pressed down on Mo Mei's hand: "You want to kill me, but I just won't die."

"Not only that, I will also lead you step by step into despair!"

"After the fall of the Yan Kingdom, our next meeting will be at the Mo Clan's Mechanical City."

Dongjun released his grip, and Mo Mei once again gathered sword energy and thrust it towards her, only to find nothing...

"You're nowhere near as good as Six-Fingered Black Knight."

After saying her last words, she left.

Yan Dan gripped the hilt of the Mo Mei sword tightly. He desperately needed to think of a way, a way to kill this madwoman completely!

...

The journey by carriage and horses took a long detour, but they encountered no accidents on their way north from Jinghu Medical Village to Qi.

After entering the Qi territory, Duanmu Rong was overjoyed to see her master's complexion improving under the nourishment of the Energy Pill fragments, and she was filled with anticipation for Daze Mountain.

'Luckily, Brother Lu arrived just in time.'

'Not only did it help to resolve the epidemic and save many lives, it also saved my master!'

'Master said before that joining the Farmer's Clan would bring danger to Brother Lu, but now I owe him so many favors, so what if there's danger?'

The carriage was subjected to strict inspection immediately after entering the territory of Gonggongtang in Dazeshan.

They revealed the Seven Star Pearl Grass, representing the Hall Master, and some senior disciples recognized the Hall Master's face, allowing them to pass through without hindrance.

The senior disciple bowed as he watched the departing carriage, wondering to himself: how high must the status of the person inside be to have the hall master drive the carriage?

That elusive and mysterious leader of the knights?

Back at headquarters, Lü Qing was busy with various chores as usual. Lu Wei was in no hurry to disturb him. Instead, he asked Lu Ni, who was calculating in the accounting room, to arrange for four female disciples to carry Physician Nian Duan from the carriage to a separate room for care.

After paying his respects, Xiao Duanmu knew that Brother Lu had just returned and would have many things to do, so he obediently went to keep his master company.

"Master, something has happened in the backyard."

Once all the bystanders had left, Lu Ni took two steps closer and, with a complicated expression, quietly reported to the hall master.

The backyard is the detached house area behind the main hall, where only Lu Ni, Ji Yan and her daughter, and Xue Nu live.

Seeing Lu Ni so conflicted for the first time, Lu Wei knew it must be something serious. He walked towards the backyard, waiting for Lu Ni to continue her report.

Lu Ni is fine. The only ones who could be in trouble are Xue Nu and Ji Yan. What could possibly happen to them?

"A few days ago, a woman from the Yin-Yang School suddenly arrived; she was pregnant..."

Lu Ni said in a very abnormal tone, "She said she is pregnant with the master's child."

Clang! It felt like he'd been hit hard on the head. For the first time, Lu Wei was stunned by a piece of news, his mind going numb, and he stopped in his tracks instantly.

A woman from the Yin-Yang School is pregnant...

The only Yin-Yang School woman he was intimate with was:

Moon God!

Chapter 168 Do you have any more?

"The pulse is stable and the breathing is normal."

"The due date will be before the end of the year."

Duanmu Rong had just helped her master lie down and fed him an energy-boosting pill when Lu Wei sent someone to summon her to the backyard.

Faced with the prospect of taking the pulse of a strange woman with purple hair who was about to give birth, she didn't have time to think much. After a thorough examination, she found that both the mother and child were in good health and did not need any supplementary herbal decoctions.

I'm due to give birth at the end of the year, and the time I conceived was the result of our meeting in Wenzhou this February.

The Moon Goddess sat upright on the edge of the bed, her expression indifferent as she faced the onlookers. In particular, when her gaze swept over Lu Wei, there was no special fluctuation in her expression.

Only her occasional, unconscious gesture of stroking her abdomen showed her love for her unborn child.

"Let's go out."

Lu Ni sensed that the atmosphere in the room hadn't become more lively despite the large number of people. While holding Xiao Yan'er's hand, she called for Xue Nu, who was gently biting her lip while gazing at the moon goddess's belly, and Duanmu Rong, who was standing there at a loss, to leave first.

Only Lu Wei and the Moon Goddess remained in the room, gazing at each other.

"This child surprised you?"

As the door opened and closed silently, the Moon Goddess's indifferent voice rang out, but the hand that touched her abdomen again showed that she was not without other feelings in her heart.

"It was indeed a surprise."

Lu Wei nodded and sat down beside her. Out of a sense of responsibility, he reached out and placed his hand on top of the Moon Goddess's hand that was rubbing her abdomen. The moment they made contact, a familiar coolness immediately traveled along the slender back of her hand to his palm.

The appearance of this child depends on him, and also on the moon goddess herself.

“I didn’t take any precautions. His appearance was simply a natural consequence of the movement of the stars.”

"Won't becoming a mother affect your Yin-Yang School plans?"

He pulled the moon goddess into his arms, and she, no longer maintaining her aloofness, pressed her head against his chest in return.

Lord, please don't dwell on the issue of the child's birth any further. At this point, the more important thing, besides the child himself, is the subsequent impact.

Lu Wei had never seen the Eastern Emperor in person, but he always held him in high regard.

"Not returning to Xianyang for a year is indeed a problem."

The Right Protector of the Yin-Yang School, due to the nature of her cultivation technique, always possessed a body as cold as the moon, a trait she had grown accustomed to since her youth. But now, the Moon Goddess greedily drew warmth from the firm chest:

"However, in Jicheng, as long as we bring back just one box, this problem will be solved."

The box she mentioned could only be the Azure Dragon Seven Constellations Bronze Box held by the Yan Kingdom.

"As long as you have a plan."

Feeling the unwavering strength of the jade-like arms around his waist, Lu Wei knew he wouldn't be able to leave anytime soon. Given the current situation, he decided not to say anything and spoil the mood, and simply held Yue Shen in his arms for a while.

Have you decided on his name?
