Xu Mingzhu is actually very tired, and if he is tired, he will use up the last bit of strength in his body to say a word.

A beautiful lady from a businessman's family, before and after marriage, the inner courtyard of her family and her husband's house is her whole world, moving around every inch of land, elegant and lonely. But since her husband went to Xizhou, and she followed willfully, her life has never been the same.

She saw the bigger world, experienced more things, and took on more responsibilities.

Even she couldn't have imagined that a woman who saved her husband's life could burst out with such incredible strength, and a weak and helpless woman stood in front of thousands of soldiers and men, and she didn't lose a single eyebrow.

The love between husband and wife does not seem to be the most important thing at a critical juncture, Xu Mingzhu doesn't even know whether her husband is affectionate or ruthless to her, whether she is affectionate or ruthless, she has to do what she should do, and she has to bear the responsibility that she should not bear, from the day she got married, her life with him is destined to be tied together, inseparable, and inseparable.

Cheng Chumo rode a camel to catch up from behind, reached out with his long arms, and grabbed the reins of her mount, Xu Mingzhu raised his blank and tired eyes, and looked at him blankly.

Cheng Chu sighed silently and shook his head slowly at her: "Brother and sister, it's time to rest, I haven't stopped for two days and two nights, and the gang of rough men in the back can't stand it anymore, and if they go on, I'm afraid they will mutiny." ”

Xu Mingzhu's eyes blinked a few times, he was too tired from the journey, and even his reaction was much slower, and it took a while to understand what Cheng Chumo meant, and his pretty face that had lost its luster suddenly showed a blank expression.

"I'm sorry Brother Cheng, I'm too anxious, let's rest."

Cheng Chu breathed a sigh of relief silently, turned his head and yelled backwards: "The whole army dismounts and rests!" ”

Thousands of tired and thirsty soldiers suddenly let out an earth-shattering cheer, turned over and dismounted, and fell directly on the soft sand. Completely ungraceful, panting flatly.

Cheng Chumo turned his head to look at Xu Mingzhu, and saw that her sideburns were messy and her expression was extremely tired, so he couldn't help but shake his head: "Brother and sister, come down too, take a good rest for a while, Yumen is closed thousands of miles to Xizhou." It's not a day or two to walk, and I'm so desperate to get to Xizhou that I won't be able to live to get to Xizhou......"

Xu Mingzhu nodded silently, then turned over and got off the camel, found a secluded place with her knees bent, and knelt on the sand in a daze.

Cheng Chu looked at her silently. There was a flash of appreciation and admiration in his eyes.

Brother Xian is a blessed man, not only awake and capable, but also married such a responsible and affectionate lady of the main house, if he has a wife, what more can the husband ask for?

Cheng Chumo looked up at the clear blue and cloudless sky, and a faint melancholy appeared between his eyebrows.

Blessed man, God won't let him die early, right? Situation in Western State...... How bad is it?

"Brother Cheng, husband...... It should be fine, right? Xu Mingzhu hung his head. asked softly from afar.

Cheng Chumo came back to his senses and looked at her with a calm expression. couldn't help but smile and said: "It's going to be fine, brother and sister, and relax, with Brother Li Xian's lazy nature, at this moment, maybe he is holding grapes in one hand and Meijiao in the other...... Bah! My stinky mouth! ”

Cheng Chu silently knew that he was speechless, and slapped himself hard. sneered: "Brother and sister, don't blame, my old Cheng is a rough person, don't go to your heart if you don't hold back......"

Xu Mingzhu still hung his head and said calmly: "As long as he is safe and sound, even if he is holding a hundred and ten beautiful girls at the moment." I'll be happy from the bottom of my heart...... Brother Cheng, the concubine is a woman, and she doesn't understand the major affairs of the society at all, that is what you men do, so she can't see the slightest clue about the situation in Xizhou, and she also asks Brother Cheng to teach her, and now Xizhou ...... Is it as safe as ever? ”

Cheng Chumo was silent for a moment, and said with a smile: "Brother and sister are really worried, although Xizhou is a lonely city, but it is under the rule of my Tang Dynasty, these years the Tang Dynasty has swept the four provinces, and the United States is not an enemy, and the small countries in the Western Regions are all suffering from ringworm, and they dare not take the risk of offending the Tang Dynasty to seize Xizhou, so Li Su must be safe, and my brother and sister can rest assured." ”

"If it is safe and sound, why did Brother Cheng lead the veterans of the village from Chang'an day and night to travel thousands of miles to help? Brother Cheng, in fact, you are also very worried, the situation in Xizhou is by no means as easy as you say, right? Xu Mingzhu finally raised his head and smiled silently at Cheng: "The concubine is grateful to Brother Cheng for his comfort, even though it is only comforting, the concubine still receives it." ”

A trace of embarrassment flashed on Cheng Chumo's face, and he shook his head with a wry smile.

"You woman, you look weak, but you have to be strong, it is rare to be affectionate and righteous, the virtuous brother married you, but it is a blessing from the previous life." Cheng Chumo sighed sincerely.

Xu Mingzhu smiled sadly, shook his head and said: "No, Brother Cheng is wrong, being able to marry her husband is the blessing of the concubine's previous life, the concubine was born in a businessman, her status is low, her husband married me, although she treats me gently and politely, it is just his good upbringing, in fact, the concubine is clear, the person in the husband's heart is not me, I was forced to marry me, a businessman's woman, the husband has always been very aggrieved in his heart, the husband has made countless contributions to the society at a young age, he is a person with great ambitions and great ability, he is on the horse to manage the army and dismount to govern the people, the concubine can really not do much for him, It's just a little bit of a wife's duty...... I, after all, am not worthy of him. ”

Cheng Chumo frowned, and said in a deep voice: "Brother and sister said this, the virtuous brother is not the kind of person who looks down on businessmen, besides, the younger brother and sister ran back and forth for thousands of miles to save his life, and even took the risk of killing the head of the Zhu clan to hold the Yumen guard hostage, and the road to help did not stop for two days and two nights, even the rough man can't stand the day and night, you a weak woman gritted her teeth and survived, a woman can do such a thing for her man, who in the world dares to say that you are not worthy of my brother Li Xian?" ”

After a pause, Cheng Chumo hesitated, but couldn't help but say: "Brother and sister, don't blame me for Lao Cheng's speech, your husband is the county of His Majesty's Qin, and you are also the lady of His Majesty's decree, you are a person with status, and your identity is much more noble than ordinary women, this kind of arrogant words, I don't dare to say it again in the future, let alone any nonsense that is not worthy of it, from the moment you asked for help, no one in the world is more worthy of Brother Li Xian!" Even my Lao Cheng has looked down on you since then, and if Brother Li Xian is wronged to you in the future, I will support you! ”

Xu Mingzhu reluctantly squeezed a chuckle and said: "Thank you Brother Cheng for her righteousness, the little thing that the concubine did as a husband is insignificant, running around begging for help, holding the Yumen guards hostage, after these things are done, the concubine can't believe it, and I don't know if he will scold me after seeing my husband in the future......

Cheng Chu was silent: "Don't worry, Brother Li Xian is too late to be grateful, how can he scold you?" You are too worried, it is impossible for me to say that Lao Cheng is really unconvinced, a weak woman, relying on a guard and a broken knife, actually dares to hold the Yumen Pass guard hostage, forcing him to mobilize troops and horses, and this thing is also done by you, tsk! Terrible! ”

Xu Mingzhu's pale face suddenly flashed with a flush, and after a moment of shame, he raised his head uncomfortably and brushed his messy sideburns.

As he spoke, the sun shifted a little, and it was not early, Xu Mingzhu showed an anxious look again, turned his head to look at the soldiers who were slumped on the ground in groups of three or five behind him, and saw that the soldiers were still listless and spread out their hands and feet and lay on the ground, looking at their appearance, I was afraid that they would not be able to catch up for a while.

Xu Mingzhu hesitated for a moment, and finally sighed softly, forced himself to suppress the anxiety in his heart, and let the soldiers rest for a while.

The kneeling posture is still as standard as a ruler, Xu Mingzhu hung his head and said softly: "The concubine knows that Brother Cheng and her husband are good brothers, so she must know her husband's past, right?" Brother Cheng, can you talk to the concubine about her husband and ...... Is it about Princess Dongyang? He and her...... When the city was full of turmoil, it must have been very bitter, right? ”

Cheng Chu was stunned for a moment, his expression suddenly became a little embarrassed, he scratched his head and laughed a few times, and said, "This matter...... Hehe, haha...... I don't dare to hide it from my younger siblings, I really don't know, Lao Cheng is a rough person, and he has never cared about the relationship between men and women, Brother Li Xian didn't say it carefully, and I didn't bother to ask, men get along with each other, of course, what they talk about is men's affairs, women, haha, hehe, hehe......"

While laughing awkwardly, Cheng Chumo suddenly stood up and yelled at the back: "It's almost time to rest, we didn't come to the desert to enjoy the scenery, my brother is still waiting for us to help in Xizhou, you brothers help, you are tired, get up, continue to march!" ”

More than half of the more than 4,000 soldiers are the elite defenders of Yumen Pass, and 1,000 are veterans of the Cheng family Zhuangzi, all of whom are elite soldiers who are forbidden by order.

Xu Mingzhu also rode a camel and looked at the endless desert in the distance, and under the clear blue sky in the distance, there was still a white desert with no hope in sight.

Xu Mingzhu sighed faintly, if I can save my husband's life this time, can I walk into his world? I...... Can you be worthy of him, right?

Western State.

Early the next morning of the retreat, the enemy finally launched an attack, and the shock and panic caused by the earth-shaking thunder yesterday seemed to have disappeared today, and when the horn of the attack sounded, the enemy began to attack the city.

Outside the city, drums rumbled, and shouts of killing rang out.

The enemy army is like a group of locusts in transit, and the black pressure flocks to the head of the city, and on the head of the city, the yellow flag representing the Tang Dynasty Emperor stands firmly on the arrow tower and flutters in the wind.

Xizhou is still the city of Datang.

"Shoot the arrows!" Li Su was covered in armor, and waved his hand fiercely with a hideous expression, and there was a muffled sound of the bowstring, and a rain of arrows from the sky under black pressure shot mercilessly towards the enemy troops besieging the city, and the screams under the city wall suddenly rose one after another, and countless enemy soldiers fell to the ground with arrows, and then were filled by the people behind.
