Yang Baochen and the others didn't see the wolf smoke, but they heard the sound of the cannon, and when they saw them coming down from the tree, they hurriedly gathered around and asked, "What's wrong?"

Xiaoyu took advantage of Zhou Wei's order to Yang Baochen to count the manpower and prepare to leave, and also called his guards: "It's wolf smoke, presumably the Xidu people are attacking again." Listening to the trumpet cannon, it seems that there are quite a few people. Let's go out now, and maybe we can help my brother from the inside and outside. When we go out later, everyone should be vigilant, I am afraid that the Xidu people are also hiding in the mountains. ”

After Xiaoyu finished explaining, she suddenly remembered the tiger mother and son again, and hurriedly untied the bear meat hanging from the tree and returned it to them.

At this time, Zhou Wei and Jiang Wei's side were also arranged, so they ran out of the mountain with Xiaoyu, but halfway through, Zhou Wei's personal soldiers stationed outside the forest sent a herald over: "General, the Xidu army has invaded and is gathering and camping at the south gate, and Jiang Qianhu has already sent scouts out to investigate." ”

Xiaoyu couldn't help but feel uneasy when she heard this, the sixth master only had a regular army of 3,000 people in the city, and the rest were scattered soldiers. There were only eight of these cannons, and they were all released in a few moments, and if the number of the enemy was only four thousand, I would be afraid......

There were heralds with them, and when the sky was about to be dark, Xiaoyu and they finally returned to the edge of the forest safely to meet Zhou Wei's personal soldiers.

Jiang Qianhu is of medium stature, quite strong, with a black and red face, a beard with sideburns, and a pair of small eyes with sharp eyes. Seeing Zhou Wei and them running over, they also hurriedly greeted them, trying their best to make their voices sound calm: "General, the scout just went out to check, and the enemy army is about forty or fifty thousand people. ”

When Xiaoyu heard this, she was so shocked that she almost fell to the ground, and her heart was confused and she had no clue.

However, Zhou Wei was calm and calm, and immediately sent four teams of men and horses to Hanyuguan and Talikou for help.

Xiaoyu stood on the pillars of the tent, thinking in her heart, Dalini is just an inconspicuous small border city, how could the people of Xidu suddenly overwhelm the border, she couldn't help but glance at Zhou Wei, and asked in a low voice: "I don't know how many people General Lang and General Zuo can send over, if they send rescuers, probably... Get... When can I come over?"

Zhou Wei's face sank, he frowned and looked at the camp in the distance, thinking in his heart: "General Zuo is cautious, if Xidu sends a team of men and horses over and pretends to be ten thousand people, I am afraid that he will not dare to divide the army." General Lang is the first barrier of the Northern Cold, and he originally had a lot of elite soldiers, but... Grandfather had recently transferred some soldiers to the south, and besides, he was a little far from us. After hesitating for a while, he slowly exhaled a breath of turbidity, and comforted Xiaoyu in a warm voice: "The Hanyu Pass is only three or five days away from here, and the time in Tatar Pass is slightly longer. ”

When Xiaoyu heard this, her heart sank to the bottom, leaning on the tent post for a long time without speaking, and she silently calculated in her heart: "If I were the general of Naxidu, I would definitely have to intercept the soldiers who went to ask for help on the road, only two or three times... Moreover, isn't there a siege point in the war book to send reinforcements? In this way, it seems that the variables of waiting for reinforcements are too great. ”

Just thinking about it, there was a noise from the soldiers outside, and Jiang Qianhu ran in with a happy face: "The scout who was just sent out caught a sentry and came back." ”

Xiaoyu saw Zhou Wei's solemn face, and she couldn't lift her spirits. Zhong Min and Miss Wen were a little overwhelmed when they saw her like this.

Zhou Wei laughed loudly: "The eldest husband is fighting on the battlefield, and the horse leather shroud itself is fateful. Miss Xia, don't worry, Xiao Wang will never abandon Vice General Xia and other soldiers and civilians. What I just said is only the worst-case scenario, if you are lucky, maybe General Zuo has noticed something strange and sent rescuers. ”

Xiao Yu knew that he was comforting himself, but he still couldn't help but nod his head again and again. Zhou Wei saw that she was rejuvenated again, so he turned his head and ordered in a deep voice: "Bring the soldiers of Xidu to Jiang Qianhu's tent, and then call Chen Ze over." After a while, the soldiers dragged an eighteen or nineteen-year-old boy in, and Xiaoyu hurriedly hid behind Yang Baochen and stood in the shadows to watch them question.

The Xidu soldier was not tall, with a chubby round face, if he hadn't struggled all the way, he would have looked no different from the villagers here. Several pro-soldiers knelt on the ground according to him, and he struggled several times with kicks and kicks, and was kicked by Jiang Qianhu in the knee socket before stopping. A pair of eyes were not very honest, and they kept looking around, and when they saw Zhou Wei's shadow and Yang Baochen's back, they couldn't help but stare twice. When Jiang Qianhu saw it, he made a mistake and raised his leg to kick him in the abdomen. The sentry screamed, clutched his stomach and shrunk into a ball, his forehead covered with cold sweat.

After a while, a slender young scribe wearing a azure shirt walked in quickly, and Xiaoyu thought to herself, "This person is Chen Ze." Chen Ze came in and saluted the generals first, and then walked to the Xidu soldiers with a smile and asked in Xidu dialect, "Who are your generals?"

Xiaoyu saw that Chen Ze had beautiful eyebrows, a white and pure face, and a small dimple on the left cheek when he laughed, he was a little deflated in his heart, and secretly thought: "You are so kind, how can you ask something." ”

Sure enough, the Xidu soldier spat at him disdainfully, and twisted his head to the side contemptuously, looking like he didn't say a word.

Xiaoyu wanted to look at it again, but Zhou Wei beckoned to Jiang Qianhu and whispered a few words, Jiang Qianhu asked the soldier to bow his head, so as not to look around, but he walked over and asked Xiaoyu to avoid it kindly.

Xiaoyu couldn't, so she had to pace in the forest, bowing her head and secretly calculating. Just as he was thinking, there was a commotion among the soldiers not far away, and someone shouted softly: "Be careful, it's a big worm, a crossbowman, a crossbowman." ”

Xiaoyu's heart moved, and he hurriedly reprimanded in a low voice: "Don't shoot arrows yet." But it was still too late, but fortunately, the tiger heard the wind and hid quite quickly, and it was not accurate enough at night, so it failed to shoot. Xiaoyu hurried over to check, and sure enough, it was the tiger mother and son. She was so frightened that she felt uncomfortable, and she didn't want these two beasts to be so affectionate and righteous, so she ran over and hugged the little tiger mercilessly. The tigress was clearly still angry, and roared twice in a low voice at the soldiers.

The soldiers who were on guard had never seen Xiaoyu and these two tigers messing around during the day, so they couldn't help but take a breath of cold air, and they were surprised to see that the tiger roared for a long time and did not hurt Xiaoyu. When Xiaoyu heard the tiger's howl, she remembered the tigress, hurriedly put the little tiger down, smiled at it shyly, and thought to himself: "This is a good opportunity!"

Thinking about it, he pointed to himself at the tigress, and rubbed the little tiger affectionately. He casually pointed to the group of soldiers, grabbed the arrow on the ground and thought about it, asked Zhong Min to take a golden chicken, raised the arrow and poked it a few times. She was not happy in her heart, so she simply pulled out her dagger and cut the golden chicken into seven or eight pieces, shook it at the two tigers, and said, "Do you understand? I am the only one who is good to you, and when they see you, they will pick your skin." ”

One big and one small tiger looked at Xiaoyu blankly, hesitated for a while, the tigress actually leaned over to eat the golden chicken, the little tiger saw it and ate it, Xiaoyu couldn't help but sit on the ground in frustration, thinking: "It's a beast, how can I understand." When the tigress saw her like this, she snorted at the other soldiers.

Xiaoyu hurriedly stood up and nodded, "That's it." After that, he demonstrated in person, rushed over and roared and beat at those soldiers. Zhou Wei's personal soldiers looked at the crazy Xiaoyu, shocked and horrified. Fortunately, the tiger mother and son seemed to understand a little, leaned over and rubbed the light rain, turned their heads and whispered a vigilant howl to the soldiers. Xiaoyu finally breathed a sigh of relief when she saw it.

At this time, a muffled wail came from the tent not far away, thinking that Chen Ze and the others were torturing the Xidu soldier. Xiaoyu thought secretly: "It's been two quarters of an hour, and I don't know what to ask." ”

She was anxious, knowing that they could move too slowly, and walked back and forth for a long time, but she didn't see them come out. I couldn't help but think in my heart, the situation there is urgent, when will I be able to ask such a detailed question. She was staring at the tent in a daze, but the little tiger beside her kept barking and pestering her, trying to let her play with her. Xiaoyu's eyes lit up, and she hurriedly told Zhong Min to inquire about what she had found. He ran to the snow shadow to find the baggage he was carrying, and then pulled the tattooed girl to the tent set up by the Jiang guard.

Xiaoyu took out the women's clothes from the baggage, secretly glad that she was bringing this garnet red, asked the tattooed girl to take the powder box, wiped her face white, and asked the tattooed girl to borrow cinnabar from Zhou Wei's sergeant, and made two strokes above the forehead and eyebrows, thought about it or put down the pen, scattered her hair, and tied a black belt on her forehead in the shape of a Xidu girl. Realizing that he had already done it, he stood up and walked a few steps, and when he saw Zhong Min running back, he asked, "Sister Zhong, I don't look like a fairy." ”

Zhong Min was slightly stunned, and muttered helplessly: "What a fairy, like a mountain ghost." ”

Xiaoyu ignored her, and asked Miss Wen to ask Zhou Wei to come out, and asked Zhong Min: "Ask what's wrong." ”

Zhong Min sighed: "I only know that my name is Sihua, and he is a sentry." ”

Xiaoyu thought about it and took off her shoes again, pacing back and forth with a pair of white and tender soles. Zhong Min hesitated, but still held back and did not advise.

Xiaoyu packed up and was about to run out, when Zhou Wei walked into the tent. When I saw Xiaoyu dressed in red, her palm-sized little face was red and her teeth were white, and her apricot eyes looked over like a pool of autumn water. As soon as Xiaoyu saw him, his eyes showed a glint of joy: "General Zhou, quick! Help me draw a flame on my forehead." ”

Zhou Wei felt as if he had been suffocated by a drowning man, and his heart was pounding. looked at Xiaoyu blankly, and what echoed in his mind over and over again: "It's Xiaoyu's words: "General Zhou, quick! Help me draw a flame on my forehead." ”

Xiaoyu ran barefoot in front of Zhou Wei and stuffed the pen into his hand. Zhou Wei smelled the faint fragrance on her body, and took the cinnabar pen before he could think about it, although he knew that she wanted him to draw a forehead on his eyebrows, he still couldn't help but ask helplessly: "What?"
