Chapter 6: The Secret of Gongzi Wei Xing

After Gongzi Wei Xing slowly woke up, he found that his back hurt and his mind was poured into mud, which was very dull and uncomfortable.

"Childe, are you awake?" Xiu'er, the maid who had been taking care of Wei Xing by the bedside, shouted in surprise.

Gongzi Wei Xing patted his head vigorously, frowned and said, "Xiu'er, hurry up and bring some boiling water to Gongzi, it's uncomfortable to death!" ”

The maid Xiu'er was very well-behaved and sent over a large bowl of tea.

After taking a big sip, Gongzi Wei Xing seemed to feel a little better, and then asked for another big bowl.

After getting out of bed and stretching a few times, Gongzi Wei Xing asked, "Xiu'er, what time is it now, how long have I been sleeping?" ”

"Childe, you were sent back the night before yesterday, and you have been asleep for nearly twenty hours! It's midday, and it's time for lunch in half an hour! The small and delicate Xiu'er replied softly.

As soon as I heard that it was almost time for lunch, Gongzi Wei Xing's belly grunted and cooed very unhappily;

His face suddenly turned red, making him feel very unremarkable.

"Childe, the fish porridge has been prepared for you a long time ago, it has been warmed several times, open your mouth!" The maid Xiu'er propped up some with a small spoon and handed it over.

"It's fish again!" Gongzi Wei Xing shook his head a little tiredly, then stretched out his hand and said, "Childe, I am a big man, or Childe, I will come by myself!" ”

The maid Xiu'er looked a little aggrieved, the corners of her eyes moistened, and explained: "In the past two days, the people in the fort have been busy taking care of the wounded, and they have no time to hunt in the distance, and the food in the cave is only dried fish!" ”

Gongzi Wei Xing saw the little beauty crying, hurriedly put down the bowl and spoon, and said, "Don't cry, don't cry, Childe, I just complained casually, it has nothing to do with you!" ”

"If you cry again, it won't be beautiful, and you'll become a big cat!"

The latter sentence is very lethal to the lovely Xiu'er, and she immediately stopped her tears!

"Xiu'er, you cry at every turn, it really looks like it's made of water!" Gongzi Wei Xing quipped.

"People aren't made of water!" Xiu'er pouted and said angrily.

Gongzi Wei Xing shook his head, knowing that Xiu'er was a child with a hard life like himself, and he had no parents and relatives alive, so he sympathized with her.

Xiu'er is also an alien child adopted by the old man in the castle, three years older than Wei Xing, with a kind and docile temperament, but as small as a rabbit, and has always been responsible for taking care of the diet and daily life of his son Wei Xing.

As soon as the people of Phoenix Fort heard that Gongzi Wei Xing had woken up, a group of people rushed over to visit.

Seeing this flustery, Gongzi Wei Xing said: "Childe, I am fine, a few uncles will stay to discuss the matter, and everyone else will be busy!" ”

After the others dispersed, Gongzi Wei Xing invited the five uncles to the meeting hall and said, "Uncle Zhongwei, tell me about the situation the day before yesterday!" ”

"Childe, due to the special leather armor and leather hats of our Phoenix Castle, the personnel you brought with you did not die in battle, some soldiers suffered some minor injuries, dozens of war horses were reimbursed, and the few that survived with difficulty, after the injuries were healed, they were also useless! The situation in the caravan was especially tragic! Speaking of this, Tang Zhongwei, who was nearly forty years old, deliberately stopped, and his mood seemed a little heavy.

"Say, I've experienced it myself, so I'm naturally a little mentally prepared!" Gongzi Wei Xing urged in a low voice.

Tang Zhongwei said in a dull voice: "The eight shopkeepers are lucky, but they all have some arrow wounds in their bodies!" ”

"Of the more than 100 dart masters, only twenty-six people survived, and seven of them are still in a coma, and they are not out of danger for the time being!"

"Of the more than thirty guards of the Chamber of Commerce, only six of them survived, and all of them were seriously injured, or because they had a super desire to survive, they could have walked through the gates of hell!"

"The guys of the Chamber of Commerce are even worse, only two of the more than fifty survived!"

Everyone understands the reason for this, the guys of the Chamber of Commerce are not good at fighting at all, and naturally they are not good at protecting themselves on the battlefield, and the mortality rate is naturally higher.

"Uncle Da, try to find a way to let the seriously injured people survive, they are all famous men, which is admirable!" Gongzi Wei Xing whispered to Cao Da, who was in charge of this matter.

"Childe, don't worry!" Cao Da, who was in his early thirties, immediately received the order.

"If it weren't for the desperate fight of everyone in the caravan this time, Childe and I would probably have suffered misfortune, so I might as well be more generous when I trade goods with them next!" Gongzi Wei Xing took the opportunity to suggest.

Xiahou Zhu, who was sitting on the side, hesitated for a moment and said, "Childe, our situation is not very good, we lack food and clothing, and it is not easy to meet a caravan by luck now!" ”

"Uncle Xiahou is a little short-sighted! As long as the reputation of our Phoenix Fort spreads, more and more caravans will pass through us, and our situation will naturally improve! Gongzi Wei Xing insisted.

"Xiahou, you just follow the orders of the son! We are all big bosses, but the son is much smarter than us, and he has never done anything wrong! Huyan Leopard replied with a big grin.

Xiahou Zhu had to nod stupidly.

Gongzi Wei Xing suddenly patted his head and asked anxiously, "Have you killed the horse bandits in the Skull Banner?" ”

"I'm sorry, Childe! We were careless and let them run away with more than 80 people, and we also lost six knights in the battle! Tang Zhongwei said in a low voice ashamedly.

"Six were killed in the battle, what's going on?" Gongzi Wei Xing immediately stood up from the stool and asked loudly.

Gongzi Wei Xingke is very aware of the performance of his own leather armor and leather hat, why did he sacrifice six knights?

It turned out that when more than 200 knights from Phoenix Fort arrived at the battlefield, they first used 100 crossbows to take the Skull Banner by surprise, causing many casualties.

The Nine Masters suddenly realized that the limelight was wrong, so they immediately organized the remaining men and horses, launched a death-like charge, fiercely broke through the blockade of Phoenix Fort, and led the remaining more than 80 subordinates to fly away!

The six knights fell off their horses and were trampled to death by the horses in the process of colliding with the skull flag.

After listening to Uncle Zhongwei's story, Gongzi Wei Xing regretted the loss of six more subordinates in his heart.

The population of Fort Phoenix was small, just over a thousand men, and the real cavalry was only two hundred, and human resources were very scarce, and there was a shortage of manpower in every aspect.

Usually a force of fifty men and horses is required to be stationed in the valley where grapes are grown, and there is also the Phoenix Fort, which always needs to keep a cavalry of 100 men at home; Otherwise, I don't know which day, the nest may be wiped out by an inexplicable enemy!

Patrolling back and forth in an area of 100 miles and collecting intelligence, there is only a horse team of 50 people left, and it still needs to rotate back and forth, and the strength of Phoenix Fort has always been very tight!

The more than 200 soldiers who went to the rescue the day before yesterday, except for the official 100 cavalry, the others were middle-aged and elderly people who could barely board the war horses in Phoenix Fort, and most of them were over forty-five years old.

From today's point of view, forty-five years old is considered middle-aged, at the peak of life;

However, in the ancient feudal society, due to the restrictions of various conditions, the average age was only in their forties, and sixty years old was already considered a long life!

Now he has lost six regular knights, which makes Gongzi Wei Xing feel distressed!

The five uncles here were all his life-saving benefactors, and Gongzi Wei Xing couldn't blame them directly, so he had to say euphemistically: "The strength of our Phoenix Fort is still very thin, and every warrior is our precious wealth!" ”

"Once we encounter the enemy, we must develop the habit of using our strengths and avoiding weaknesses, try to give full play to our own advantages, and reduce some unnecessary losses, especially when encountering a difficult bandit like the Skull Banner, we need to use more brains and not be brutal!"

Although Gongzi Wei Xing's criticism was very tactful, the few people present were not stupid, and they all heard the meaning of Gongzi's words.

As the eldest among the several people, Tang Zhongwei immediately admitted his mistake and said, "Childe, we are too reckless, we won't be like this next time!" ”

The rest of the people immediately knelt down on one knee and pleaded guilty!

"A few uncles, please get up quickly, you are also too worried about my safety, so you are a little impatient, just learn a lesson!" Gongzi Wei Xing hurriedly helped everyone up.

For Gongzi Wei Xing's criticism, everyone has taken it to heart, and no one is perfunctory!

More than 300 of them escorted Gongzi to escape to the Western Regions, and only a dozen of them are still alive, all of them are warriors loyal to the Cao Wei royal family.

The more intelligent and outstanding Gongzi Wei Xing became, the more convinced and happy everyone became, and the more confident they were in the revival of Cao Wei Sheji!

After everyone left, Gongzi Wei Xing slowly returned to his room, closed the door, and quietly lay on the bed to reflect, finding that he was too anxious, and he wanted Phoenix Castle to become a big fat man in one bite!

In fact, Phoenix Fort has developed from scratch in just a few years to today, which is already good!

The reason why Gongzi Wei Xing is so anxious is because he has been insecure since birth.

Gongzi Wei Xing has a secret in his heart, no one knows, hidden deep in his soul.

In his previous life, he was a mechanical man with the same name and surname, and on the night of his thirty-fifth birthday, he was walking home from overtime as usual when he was struck by a lightning bolt on a clear night;

When he woke up, he found himself a newborn baby.

This secret has been hidden in his heart, he has never told anyone, and he is not going to tell anyone about it!

Because he was born with memories, Gongzi Wei Xing has always been very clear about what is happening around him.

As a baby, he suffered numerous thrilling robberies, which caused him to be extremely insecure today.

When I was a little older, I didn't care about the incredible looks of others, and put forward a number of useful suggestions, all of which were to make the strength around me a little stronger, and my own safety was guaranteed a little more!

After thinking about it for a long time, Gongzi Wei Xing felt that he needed to suppress his impulsive emotions, he couldn't eat hot tofu in a hurry, and he needed to try to act according to the law of the development of things;

Otherwise, it is easy to make wrong judgments and do wrong things!

Accidentally, the prestige and image that have been built up in everyone's hearts with great difficulty will be destroyed by his own hands!

If he really got to that point, he would completely disappoint everyone who was waiting for him to grow up, and he would also be sorry for the hundreds of secret uncles and their families who sacrificed for him!

At the same time, like the views of the five uncles, Gongzi Wei Xing's mood was also very heavy, and he also felt that the top ten skeleton banners of the horse bandit gang would not give up like this, and they would need to guard against the bloody revenge of the skeleton banners for a long time in the future.
