Boom!Boom!Lightning streaks pierced the night sky, the wind howled, and the rain poured down. There was not even a soul on the street. The heavy rain was like hearing a signal from the gods, tearing open the sky and pouring the water of the Milky Way into the world.
The Zhuge family looked particularly depressed under the wind and rain. Zhuge Qingtian was sitting in the hall, holding an urgent battle report for eight hundred miles in his hand.
Zhuge Qingtian - Grand Marshal of the Star Empire. When the Star Empire was about to be destroyed, Zhuge Qingtian came out of the sky. With his outstanding military talent, he was able to turn the tide and save the Star Empire that was about to be destroyed.Under his leadership, the soldiers of the Star Empire pursued the victory, defeated other imperial alliances and expanded the territory of the Star Empire to the largest extent.
At this time, Zhuge Qingtian was in tears, because the battle report read: The army led by Marshal Zhuge Chenxuan was attacked by unknown people in the maple forest of the Cacedonian Empire, resulting in the entire army being wiped out. Zhuge Chenxuan struggled to break through under the protection of his own soldiers, and his life and death are unknown at present.Zhuge Wenxin and Zhuge Wenwen were both killed in battle...
"Father, what's wrong? Did something happen to Chen Xuan? Please tell me!" The person who spoke was Zhuge Chenxuan's wife Li Xin'er.
Facing his daughter-in-law's inquiries, this old man who had remained calm in the face of countless wars, large and small, now became helpless.
"Daughter-in-law, you must not get too excited now that you are pregnant. I tell you to listen carefully. Chen Xuan, Wen Xin, the 200,000 army led by Wen Xin was attacked in Fenglin. Wen Xin and Wen Wen were killed in the battle. Chen Xuan's life and death are unknown." The old man said weakly.
"What's the point of asking about heart and death in battle, when Chen Xuan's life and death are unknown?" Li Xin'er murmured."Life and death are unclear, life and death are unknown, how could this happen? Father, tell me this is not true, tell me!"
"It's true."
"This is impossible, I don't believe it, I don't believe it!" Li Xin'er retreated hurriedly."Uh! Uh! Father, I'm about to give birth. Father, if I die, you have to keep my and Chen Xuan's child no matter what." Li Xin'er said sadly.
"Come on, call the midwife, the young lady is about to give birth." The old man hurriedly summoned the servant.
"Now that our Zhuge clan has suffered such a change, nothing must happen to this child. This is the only bloodline of our Zhuge clan. We must keep this single seedling no matter what!" The old man stood in front of the delivery room pacing.
Squeak!The midwife came out of the room."How is it? Madam, did the delivery go smoothly?" the old man asked eagerly.
"Old Master, the mother and child are not in good condition right now. The young lady is having a difficult delivery and the fetus is in a transverse position! Only one of the fetus and the young lady can be saved."
"How could this happen? Why? The midwife will try again to see if she can keep the mother and baby safe."
"I'm sorry, I can only keep one person safe at most," the midwife said sadly.
"Father, keep my child. This is my decision. I hope you will fulfill it!" Li Xin'er's weak voice came from inside the house.
"But - it's - that's all! The midwife should do as the young lady said..."
The door was closed again, and it was still raining heavily in the night sky. The rainwater fell along the eaves, pooled on the ground and slowly flowed forward.The old man looked helplessly at the rain curtain outside the eaves.
