Chapter 172: Pretentious

Hiding like this, Zhou Xiya took people through the first day, and they desperately hoped that the sky would get dark soon, so that they would be much safer.

For the battle that followed, she couldn't help, she didn't go over to help, and now they took care of her.

In the evening, it was almost dark, Zhou Xiya and the others hid in a cave to eat, and they had to leave at night after eating.

"Steward Liu, what are you looking around on this day?" Zhou Xiya casually asked Steward Liu, who was sitting on the ground eating.

"No... It's nothing, I'm afraid that there will be an enemy" Steward Liu stammered to explain, he couldn't tell Miss Zhou that he was looking for the boss, and he didn't know where the boss was hiding.

"Huh...... Steward Liu, this is not like you, Li Muke said before, Steward Liu, you escort the goods, but you are very bold, even if you meet bandits, the king of the mountain, you can scare them off without changing your face, even if you are really robbed to the mountain, you can also rely on your three-inch tongue to talk with the bandits, and let the bandits send you down the mountain. Zhou Xiya smiled and made a joke.

"Miss said with a smile, it was when I was young, but now I don't dare, I'm not afraid of bandits, as long as there are enough interests, I can always move them, but unfortunately they are not bandits, they are rebels, I'm afraid that before my old Liu's mouth opens, the other party's big knife will be cut down." Steward Liu hurriedly waved his hand.

Zhou Xiya just smiled and stopped talking.

"Miss, forgive my subordinates for taking the liberty of asking Miss a question?" Steward Liu hesitated and asked.

"What's the matter, you say" Zhou Xiya looked up at him.

"Miss. I mean, if ...... What would you do if the boss came back? Hesitating, Steward Liu still said this.

"What do you mean?" Zhou Xiya's heart tightened, staring at Steward Liu.

Steward Liu's eyes shrank, and he hurriedly explained: "It's okay, it's just a small talk." ”

"If Li Mu comes back, I will return all his things to him, but I have no ability, I haven't helped him take care of it, and there has been no great development in the past two years. As for the rest. I can't give him back in this life. Zhou Xiya sighed, covering the sadness in her eyes.

Steward Liu was also silent, and could only say that Miss Zhou and the boss were destined, otherwise how good it would be for the two of them to be together-

The night is coming. The enemy troops also retreated. It's really withdrawn from the forest. After a day and a night, all methods were used, and the rush did not break through. also had to endure the abuse of the other party, and later tempted with food, but the other party would rather gnaw on the grass roots than accept the persuasion of their food.

The general of the rebel army calmed down, knowing that if this continued, the other party was not doing anything, they couldn't stand it first, it was originally a team composed of refugees, the physical foundation was poor, the impact of one day and one night, more people died on his side than on the other side, how could he stand it, he didn't have to finally destroy his 10,000 people by the other party, it became a joke.

So he retreated, came out to find a way, in the woods, they were no match for each other, alas, where did he think that such an easy errand, such a famous errand, would become such a difficult bone to gnaw when it came to him.

In the camp tent, he walked back and forth, wondering what he should do, now their side is not yet a climate, all kinds of functions are not perfect, not to mention the staffing, they are all short people choose generals, and the deputy general given to him is a big boss, he only knows how to rush forward, let him think of ideas, what good ideas he can come up with.

"Young master, I've eaten." The butler walked in with a roast chicken, which was not easy to get in this place, or he ordered the soldiers to look for it, and at the risk of his life, he found a pheasant in the woods.

"Butler, what do you think we should do?" The general took the roast chicken and asked vaguely.

"This? Young master, if we don't guard outside, there is no food or drink inside, I don't believe it, they can hide in the woods and come out sooner or later. The housekeeper said flatteringly.

"Put. Fart...... You are really the young master of your family is majestic, the gods descend to earth, I am guarding outside, they will come out and surrender, the forest is so big, they have long been ignorant of where to go. The general kicked the butler.

"Hehe, young master, look at what you said, you are a fairy descending to earth, when you were born, the fortune teller can tell the master, you are a fairy child, and you will be able to 'make a name for yourself and be praised by future generations'" The housekeeper smiled.

"That's later, let's talk about the present, what to do now." The general's complexion was much better, and his face was somewhat softened.

"Young master, why don't we burn the forest with fire and smoke it." The housekeeper has no choice, but pondering, let the housekeeper help calculate the businessman who is against the master, but let him want to fight the idea of war, he really can't do it, the young master wants to drive ducks to the shelves, he is a male duck, and he can't lay eggs.

"The forest is so big, when will it be burned, you haven't looked at the sky outside, it's gloomy, who knows if it will rain tomorrow." The general threw the chicken bones on the ground.

"What should I do?" the housekeeper really couldn't help it.

The general threw aside the chicken that had not been eaten and wiped his hands on the military uniform, "But what you said about setting fire to smoke is a reminder, tomorrow to see if it rains, smoke me with smoke first if it doesn't rain, the people inside must be nervous, this nervousness will want to run away, they can only run to the north, let's let people guard in the north, wait for them to come out, and catch them all." After saying that, the generals began to admire themselves, he could actually think of such a correct decision, it seems that the blind man who Dad found to tell him the fortune is really level, look, he can annihilate the enemy with any idea, look, how much he has the style of a general.

"Young Master Wise" The housekeeper immediately patted his ass.

There was laughter in the tent.

In this way, General Zhang and the others spent a peaceful night, and this night also gave them a buffer to let them rest for a while.

Early the next morning, General Zhang stood in front of a tree, staring ahead, why was there no movement in front of him, yesterday he thought that the other party would want to take advantage of them to relax their guard and then rush into the forest, but the night passed. The other party didn't make any movement, what were they thinking?

General Zhang hesitated for a moment, and sent a few people to reconnoiter and see the situation, now every soldier is their vital force, and they cannot be easily lost, even if they are on duty at night, they dare not send them far away, for fear that they will go far, there is a case. Now it is possible to have one less one.

Soon after. The explorer came back, looking a little nervous, "General, they have prepared a large amount of firewood outside the forest, it seems that they are ready to smoke it"

General Zhang frowned. Glancing at the sky. Look at the weather. In less than two hours, it will rain, that is, with smoke. How big the smoke can be, whether the other party has a problem with the brain.

"General, what shall we do?" The soldier asked.

"Let's go, lead everyone to go first, I don't know what the other party's purpose is, let's get out of here first." General Zhang made a decision, he couldn't gamble with the lives of the soldiers in his hands, he went to catch up with the second lady first, and he didn't know what happened to the second lady.

General Zhang chased in the direction of Zhou Xiya, along the way he saved a lot of people who fell on the way, seeing these soldiers, these people tears came out, and they were finally rescued, they all thought that they were going to die here, how did they come over this day, I understood for a night, I listened to the shouts and killings, and I was scared to death, and finally it was dawn, and I was hungry again, but they came out of these delicate families, where did they know how to find food in the wild, even if a hare was placed in front of them, they didn't know how to chase, just to chase, I don't necessarily be able to catch up, so this day and night, I have suffered all my life, it's so memorable, I can't forget it for a lifetime, and I can talk to the juniors in the future, "They came from the hard days" .......

At noon, General Zhang took the remaining less than 4,000 people to find Zhou Xiya, this day and night, they lost a little more than 1,000, and the other party lost more than 3,000 people, more than double theirs.

When the "second lady" General Zhang saw Zhou Xiya, he saluted.

"It's hard work General Zhang, you're all right." Zhou Xiya glanced at the soldiers behind General Zhang, almost all of them were wounded, and it seemed that the number of them was much less.

"Fortunately, they held the enemy army, but they wanted to smoke us out." General Zhang told Zhou Xiya about the situation.

"The weather is so bad today, they still want to smoke us out of the fire, is there something wrong with the other party's generals." Although the smoke will not be beaten down by the rain all at once, how long will it take to smoke them in such weather before it can smoke them and force them out, which is completely useless.

"The last general is not very clear, but judging from the battle in the past two days, the general of the other party's leadership should not be a person who understands military affairs, and will only order his soldiers to rush and kill, we captured a prisoner, and learned from him that the other party led the troops by a young man in his twenties, and his family was in business and sold grain, because he contributed a large amount of food, in exchange for the opportunity to lead the troops to fight."

"In this way, it seems that the other party is not worried, so I can rest assured, but he must have a purpose in using smoke, and we can't take it lightly, first there is no other forest, maybe he just wants to scare and scare us, just to force us to go out and catch them all." Zhou Xi thought for a while and said.

"That's what the Admiral thinks, too." The general nodded in agreement, he didn't despise Zhou Xiya because the other party was a woman, the second lady was in charge of everything in the second son's house during this time, she handled it in an orderly manner, and there was no mistake, Xiao Ruiqing wanted to take away all the Yingtian soldiers, or the second lady found out first, forcing the soldiers to mutiny, and snatched half of the defenders from Xiao Ruiqing's hands, not to mention the Xiao family from the second lady's family, and her father was a famous protector general, such a child from a family, Can you not move the military.

Zhou Xiya glanced back at the old and young behind her, what she is worried about now is what to do after the rain, this old and young, it will be troublesome if it rains, adults may be able to survive, but what about children, she is also a mother, not to mention others, she first feels sorry for her two children, what should they do if they are going to be drenched in the rain, after this day of two nights of battle, escape, this old and young are afraid enough to suffer, if they fall ill in the rain again, but how can it be good, there is no cave near here.

But God wouldn't listen to her, and the rain began to fall quickly, and it was still drizzling at first, but who knows if it will rain heavily.

Zhou Xiya had already taken a piece of clothing to support the child from the rain, but it still had little effect, she was so anxious that she was about to cry, she had never been so anxious and helpless as at this moment, she didn't care what she did, but she couldn't see her child suffer a little grievance.

probably felt cold, Zheng'er kept crying, Zhou Xiya's tears also fell, Xian'er saw that her mother was crying, and she also cried, crying is contagious, and the old people and children at the scene cried first.

Thousands of soldiers could only watch, helpless.

In the crowd, a man who blurred his face with muddy water walked up to Steward Liu and explained to Steward Liu, who couldn't stop nodding.

Steward Liu hurriedly found General Zhang, told General Zhang the method that Li Mu gave him, took local materials, and hurriedly built a shelter in the forest to shelter from the rain.

General Zhang hurriedly moved, and organized people to start making shacks, although he had no experience, but this thing, that is, he could get it out after pondering.

And Zhou Xiya reflexively glanced back, and saw a disappearing back, and that back made her remember it very familiarly, and she was disturbed by the child's cry and didn't have the heart to think deeply.

Soon a very simple shack was built, Zhou Xiya put her son and daughter in it first, probably hand-born, the first one to make was a little nondescript, but it was still strong to poke there, which was good.

Soon after, all the children went and hid in the shack, and the old man also shivered and hunched over and hid in the shack, but fortunately there was no need to get drenched in the rain, and the heavy rain was heavy.

The heavy rain kept falling and it was dark, and it finally stopped, Zhou Xiya and her group were tired, hungry, and uncomfortable, Zhou Xiya was also drenched in the rain, the space was limited, how could she go to rob the old man's shack, it was not enough.

In the middle of the night, Zhou Xiya felt that she had a fever, she was sick herself, she was in a hurry during this time, she was in a hurry to escape, and she didn't rest well, although she was in good health, she couldn't stand such a toss, after all, she had only given birth to a child not long ago, and she was sick without a rain.

Early the next morning, in the exclamation of Jinxiu, Zhou Xiya fainted, this time General Zhang and they were in a hurry, Zhou Xiya's forehead was so hot, everyone was in a coma, if they didn't rush to the hospital, if there was a case, how would they explain to the second son in the future.

General Zhang clenched his fists, gritted his teeth, and said to Zhou Xiya's guards: "I will take the brothers to rush out, you escort the second lady and run quickly, run as far as you can, out of this forest, to the nearby town, you Qiao Zhuang, you should find the doctor." ”

"Good" The guard didn't say much, at this moment, nothing is more important than the life of the young lady, even if he is desperate to rush out, even if he dies, the lord will not treat them badly to those who protect the young lady. (To be continued.) )
