Longevity by Picking up Attributes in the Battlefield

”If Zhao Feng actually breaks through, it will be a major blow to the Zhao state. If he doesn’t, he will have at least tied down Wei, preventing them from sending reinforcements to aid Zhao,” Wang Jian said gravely. ”Either way, this situation is advantageous for Qin.”

Clearly, he supported Zhao Feng’s actions.

”But...” Yang Duanhe still looked perplexed.

”The King has granted Zhao Feng full authority over the military affairs of Wei City. Since he possesses such audacity, let’s see what he can do. In any case, the Wei army is already routed and won’t be invading again. The outcome, no matter how bad, cannot be much worse than it already is,” Wang Jian said, his tone leaving no room for doubt.

”I understand,” Yang Duanhe nodded.

”Alright,” Wang Jian said, his expression turning serious again as he gave a firm order. ”Lian Po has escaped, but we must not give up the chase. Have Wang Ben continue his pursuit. We must press our advantage.”

「Xianyang! The General’s Mansion!」

”AH... AH...”

Painful cries echoed from Wang Yan’s room. Maids hurried in and out, their faces fraught with anxiety.

Mrs. Wang stood waiting outside the room, her face filled with worry.

”Grandmother,” Wang Li asked curiously, concern showing on his little face, ”what is happening to Auntie?”

”Your auntie is giving you a little brother or sister,” Mrs. Wang replied, her voice laced with worry.

”Why does giving birth to a brother or sister hurt so much? I can hear that Auntie is in a lot of pain,” Wang Li said, also worried.

”Yes,” Mrs. Wang nodded.

But at that moment, a thought suddenly struck Wang Li. He looked up at his grandmother and asked, ”My mother isn’t here... is it because she died giving birth to me?”

As his words fell, Mrs. Wang looked down. A flicker of panic crossed her face, but she quickly recovered. ”Li’er, you must not think such things.” As she spoke, she immediately picked him up.

The ordeal inside continued for a long time.

”WAH... WAH...” The sound of a baby’s cries echoed.

”Congratulations, Madam!” a maid exclaimed, rushing out to report. ”The young mistress has given birth to a young master!”

”As long as she has given birth, that’s good, that’s good,” Mrs. Wang said, slightly relieved. ”Is Yan’er alright?”

”The young mistress still has another one inside!” the midwife shouted from within the room. ”The young mistress was carrying twins!”

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Wang’s complexion changed dramatically. In this era, childbirth was a matter of life and death, and twins were even more perilous.

”May the heavens protect Yan’er,” Mrs. Wang prayed, her anxiety returning in full force. ”You must not have any trouble.”

Although she cared for her new grandchild, she was far more worried about her own daughter.

However, with the first child already born, the second was somewhat easier. Amidst Wang Yan’s weakening cries, another wail was heard.

”Congratulations, Madam!” another maid ran out to report. ”The young mistress has given birth to a little miss! It’s dragon and phoenix twins!”

Hearing this, Mrs. Wang could no longer hold back. ”Look after Li’er.” She handed her grandson to a nearby housekeeper and hurried into the room.

Inside, the smell of blood was strong. The two babies cried unceasingly. The dragon and phoenix twins cried out, their voices seeming to echo one another.

Mrs. Wang glanced at them, then went straight to the bed, looking worriedly at Wang Yan.

”Yan’er, are you alright?” Mrs. Wang asked with concern.
