"This ...... Why don't we check it out first? Father is busy with military affairs, and he is not in the border city, so it is not convenient to check these things, right? Mu Zi looked at him and filled a piece of paper with a few strokes, and hesitated a little.

Xue Jincheng snorted lightly, and the movement of writing in his hand was still fast, "This is their business, let's not interfere." It is the father who wants to give an explanation to the mother, and it is not that we have to give an account to the mother. ”

Mu Zi was a little embarrassed.

"Besides, my mother has come all the way to the border city, and my father should come over in person!" Xue Jincheng added, the letter was finally written, and he put down his pen.

"But didn't you say that the war has been tense lately?" Mu Zi couldn't cry or laugh.

"No matter how tense you are, you can't fight all the time for twelve hours a day, although the soldiers and horses in the north are brave, but the military supplies are insufficient, and they can't fight for a long time, if it weren't for my father's intentional delay, this war would have ended long ago." Xue Jincheng explained.

"And we don't care about anything on Mother's side?" Mu Zi asked.

"Don't worry! We are juniors, and our mother is embarrassed to ask too many questions. Besides," Xue Jincheng hooked his lips and smiled and raised the envelope in his hand, "This letter is sent out now, and it is estimated that my father will come back tomorrow night at the latest!" ”

Not only Xue Jincheng, but also Mrs. Wu'anhou also thinks, "Give this letter to Brother Cheng and send it to his father!" Master Hou should be back tomorrow, Mama should prepare in advance. ”

Mama Zhou smiled and said, "Yes!" ”

It's just that this time their mother and son guessed wrong.

The two letters were successfully delivered to the barracks that night, and Xue Li was discussing tactics with his subordinates. The letter was placed on the table by him, pressed with a paperweight, and he did not have time to read it for a while.

After that, I spent the whole night studying how to use the soldiers.

It was getting colder, and the northern border was understocked with military supplies and could not survive the long winter, so they were ready to strike the final blow.

Xue Li and the others are not afraid of the last fight in the north, they are absolutely sure of winning, but the military horses in the north are brave in battle, and how to avoid the sacrifice of their own troops is the focus of their discussion.

On the fourth watch, everyone decided on the best plan to avoid casualties, and they were about to disperse and return to the camp to rest, when there was a sudden commotion outside the barracks.

Enemy attack!

The sky was dark and gloomy, and he couldn't see his five fingers, such a night was extremely unfavorable to the operation, and even the battle plan that had just been discussed was too late to be arranged, and the generals hurriedly ordered troops to meet the enemy, while Xue Li adjusted the combat layout according to the latest battle situation.

And the two letters placed on the table were covered by a wide map, and they were directly forgotten by Xue Li......

On the second day, considering that Xue Li might come back today, Mu Zi and the others did not go to the suburbs to ride horses, but Mu Zi still went to the stable early in the morning.

The reason was that the grumpy black horse, who had just arrived at his new home, had been restless all night, and kept trying to break free from the rope and jump around in place, and the groom was kicked twice by it, but fortunately he dodged in time and was not injured.

It's just that I'm worried that it will die of exhaustion if it continues like this, so I reported it worriedly.

Mu Zi was still far away from the stable when he heard the noisy movement in the stable, the "ding" of the iron ring between the rope pulling, the sound of the horse's hooves and the neighing of the horse.

Mu Zi walked in, and saw that it was still beating, maybe it had been screaming for too long, and its voice was already hoarse, but it still kept screaming, as if it was the last struggle before death.
