Chapter 928: Chapter 933: Sent to Serve You, Lord Marquis...
The acupuncture method for when the cervix won’t dilate, Su Pan’er had discussed with Old Xue years ago.
Old Xue had even used this acupuncture technique to induce labor for several women in childbirth. Now, administering the acupuncture for Su Pan’er again, he was quite in his element. Even so, Old Xue was still a bit nervous.
Whether the child could be born soon all hinged on this!
While Su Pan’er was risking her life for childbirth, thousands of miles away, Qin Yi was heading north.
By his side gathered a large group of brothers willing to live and die with him, marching with great momentum in the direction of Shengjing.
All of a sudden, Qin Yi felt an inexplicable palpitation and discomfort in his heart, abruptly placing a hand over his chest.
Old Cheng, who was next to him, noticed and quickly approached, "Young Master, what’s the matter? Is there any problem?"
Qin Yi glanced at him, frowning and shaking his head, "I don’t know what’s wrong. I just suddenly feel uncomfortable in my chest, as if something has happened."
"Could it be that Young Master is still worried that there might be a change with Elder Huang’s matter?"
Old Cheng smiled, with an air of confidence, "The terms you offered to Elder Huang are so generous that, given his character, unless Elder Huang deliberately wants to burn the bridges with us, he will surely agree. Even if he doesn’t agree, we can simply uproot him and his power! Young Master, rest assured."
"It’s not that, I just feel..."
Qin Yi hesitated for a moment, "Suddenly, Pan’er comes to my mind. I don’t know if something’s happened to her. Could it be childbirth? No, it can’t be, there’s still over a month until the baby is due. Perhaps..." the news of the rascal pig’s incident had reached Luoyan Village?
He speculated silently, uncertain in his heart.
"This... shouldn’t be possible, right?" Old Cheng was also hesitant.
"Has there been any news from Luoyan Village?"
Qin Yi still couldn’t let go.
"No news has come. After all, we’ve been on a forced march recently, and news travels slowly. Once we arrive in Shengjing, sending messages will be easier."
Old Cheng quickly tried to reassure him, "Young Master, don’t worry. The Herd you sent to protect your wife has already left. Their skills, together with Old Xue personally attending to the young lady’s side, should ensure that everything will be perfectly safe!"
These words helped to settle the anxiety Qin Yi had been holding onto.
Then he brought up the powers along the way to Shengjing, "Has there been any news from those major aristocratic families? And how about Commander Xu’s side?"
"There should be no problem. All these aristocratic families are moved by greed. Seeing us, they all proactively pledged fealty to ensure the protection of their families. They warmly welcomed us, providing food and grain. What they are seeking are mere small benefits, merely aspiring to some advantage when you claim the Heavenly Mandate. After all, the dragon might displayed under Xiangyang City has convinced these aristocratic families that you are the true Sovereign ordained by Heaven."
That vision of the Azure Dragon, larger than Xiangyang City itself, had early on made Qin Yi the true Sovereign ordained by the Heavenly Mandate.
Even though he had not yet ascended to the throne, in the eyes of these powers, That Throne was already a done deal.
These words brought a smile to Qin Yi’s face as he remembered the rascal pig that had caused such a commotion, and he couldn’t help feeling somewhat saddened.
He then nodded, "These aristocratic families are relatively easy to handle. As long as their descendants do not engage in unlawful activities, I’d rather not trouble myself with punishing them."
After speaking, he turned and called over a few trusted generals to discuss military affairs for a while before returning to his room to rest.
However, as soon as he entered the room, he immediately sensed something was off in the Inner Room!
"Who?"
He drew his long sword with a "swoosh" and pointed it forward, "Come out!"
"Oh my!"
A gasp that belonged solely to a young girl echoed through the air as Qin Yi rushed into the inner room and saw a young woman sprawled on the ground, her shoulders partly exposed and her face still wearing the remnants of undisguised terror, as she looked at him through tearful, misty eyes.
She called out timidly, "Lord Marquis..."
Qin Yi had not the slightest intention of showing mercy, advancing his long sword, he drew a line of blood across her fair neck.
"Who are you? Speak!" he bellowed sharply.
The young lady trembled like a leaf, her frail appearance stirring a sense of pity in anyone who saw her.
Biting her shell teeth, she said, "I, I am Zhang family’s legitimate daughter, Xunfeng... ’The Xunfeng thought of in whiffs, with thousands of willow strands’... that Xunfeng..."
"I didn’t ask for your name. Why are you here?"
Almost crying out of fear, yet she had to choke back her sobs to reply, "I, I was sent by my father to serve you, Lord Marquis..."
This statement made Qin Yi’s eyebrows shoot up in anger!
Rage surged rapidly as he spun around and stormed out of the room, shouting for help, "Someone! Come here, quickly!"
"Young master, what is this..."
Old Cheng squeezed through almost immediately, hurrying forward to inquire.
Seeing Old Cheng arrive, Qin Yi let out a sigh of relief.
"Old Cheng, you’ve arrived just in time. There’s a woman in my room, out of nowhere. Take her away immediately."
"Young master, this girl cannot be sent away!"
Old Cheng hesitated for a moment before coughing lightly, "Actually, this isn’t really a big deal. It’s just a few aristocratic families sending their daughters here, wanting them to stay and serve by your side, young master."
"Serve? And there are several?"
Qin Yi paused in his movements and with a frown, he demanded, "I have hands and feet, why would I need these precious young ladies to serve me? Send them all away. They should go back to where they came from. Otherwise, don’t blame me for being rude and throwing them out myself!"
"No, absolutely not!"
Old Cheng quickly interjected, advising earnestly, "These aristocratic families are sending their daughters as a way to curry favor with you, young master. Besides, if someday you ascend to That Throne, how could you not have a few concubines? If you find favor with these women, you may occasionally visit them. If not, just let them fend for themselves in a corner. You mustn’t act rashly and give these families an excuse to retaliate against you!"
Qin Yi was furious!
He turned and swept everything off the desk, sending the writing tools scattering to the floor.
"Even if I, Qin Yi, am to ascend That Throne, I will rely on my own true strength to seize Shengjing and rule the world. How could I depend on marrying for alliance? Send all those women away!"
His last sentence was directed at the messenger outside.
"They cannot be sent away!"
Old Cheng immediately stood in his way, trying to persuade him vehemently, "Even if you rule the world, the most stable technique of emperorship is through marriage alliances. Young master, your foundation is not yet solid. These women must not be sent away!"
"Utter nonsense!"
Qin Yi argued with reason, "If I, Qin Yi, truly sit upon That Throne in the future, I absolutely will not have a harem, and the woman by my side can only be one. By tonight at the latest, I do not want to see a single woman in my camp. Otherwise... Humph!"
With that, he angrily flung the curtain aside and left the tent.
