Huzi caught up with Li Xiu'e on a mountain. At this time, the sky was already bright, and the morning breeze was blowing Li Xiu'e's slender waist, making Li Xiu'e, who was thinly dressed, feel slightly cold. She clasped her hands around her shoulders and kept rubbing and prodding, hoping that it would get a little warmth. Huzi hesitated, took off his cloak and walked to Li Xiu'e on the edge of the cliff.

"The wind is blowing. Put it on. Huzi said softly, and then put the cloak on Li Xiu'e's body, Li Xiu'e did not refuse, nor did she respond.

"Go back, Brother Chuang didn't mean it, so many people are watching him." Huzi persuaded, and then took Li Xiu'e's shoulders and turned around.

Li Xiu'e already had two tears on her face. Seeing someone comforting me, my emotions came up again, and tears oozed from my eyes again. Huzi wanted to gently hug Li Xiu'e and comfort her, but he didn't dare, and Li Xiu'e didn't obey. The two returned to the barracks in silence.

Because of the tossing and turning all night last night, the garrison at this time was slightly quieter than before, except for the soldiers who were on guard, many people had just fallen asleep. Zhang Xianzhong, who had gauze tied to his thighs, fell asleep on the "operating table".

In Li Zicheng's tent, Li Zicheng was putting incense on his deceased wife's spirit card, and he sighed while offering incense, "Hey, her mother, you went early, do you think I spoil her too much?" However, Li Zicheng asked himself, "Heh, as long as she is happy." ”

These words happened to be heard by Li Xiu'e, who had entered the account, and Li Xiu'e, who was still full of grievances, saw her father sighing in front of her mother's spirit card, and seemed to understand everything.

"Daddy......" Li Xiu'e called softly and walked over.

"Come, put incense on your mother. The war will start tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, and the war is impermanent. Li Zicheng handed a stick of incense to Li Xiu'e, sighed, and didn't mention the slightest thing just now.

Li Xiu'e incense her mother. Li Zicheng patted the shoulder of the tiger who followed up, "I didn't rest all night last night, go close your eyes." ”

Huzi glanced at Li Xiu'e, nodded and walked out of the tent.

Sending away Huzi and Li Xiu'e, Li Zicheng sat on the Taishi chair with an expressionless face. The plan couldn't catch up with the change, Chongzhen ran away, and Li Zicheng was missing a card in his hand, the biggest card! At this time, he actually remembered Zhu Qing, who was seriously injured in the cell, and wanted to get up and take a look, but his eyelids didn't obey the call, he sat and sit, and finally fell asleep at the desk.

Many people don't know how long this dream has been going on, and when Li Zicheng woke up, the old man of Shuangcheng sat quietly next to him.

"Are you awake?" The old man of the twin cities smiled slightly.

"How long did I sleep?"

"It wasn't long, it was noon."

Li Zicheng nodded, stood up, moved his muscles and bones, and in the tent, Zhang Xianzhong on the side was still asleep. The old man of Shuangcheng glanced at it, shook his head and smiled slightly.

Li Zicheng walked to the tent door, lifted the curtain, and a dazzling sunlight shone in. The warm autumn sun made Li Zicheng much sober.

"You're not going to clean him up?" The old man of Shuangcheng picked up a double of the hot tea that had just been brewed on Li Zicheng's desk, took a sip, and said casually.

Li Zicheng pulled down the curtain and turned to look at the old man in Shuangcheng, he knew that the old man was talking about Zhu Qing.

"He saved my life...... Li Zicheng sighed.

"So, you're going to protect him?!" At this time, Zhang Xianzhong, who was lying on the "operating table", sat up abruptly and asked with an unhappy face.

Although Zhang Xianzhong woke up suddenly, the old man of Shuangcheng and Li Zicheng were not surprised at all, it can be seen that Zhang Xianzhong's fake sleep skills are too weak, and the experience of the two of them is too strong!

"Am I a selfish person?" Li Zicheng asked rhetorically.

"There is nothing wrong with knowing how to repay the kindness, but now that each is his master, you need to think twice." The old man of the twin cities said.

"His grandmother's, I want to call those officials brothers and sisters when Lao Tzu was mixed with the rivers and lakes, if they all talk about love, this battle will not have to be fought." Zhang Xianzhong complained.

"The two of you are not excited, in fact, there is another reason." Lee became a self-enlightened man.

"Oh?"

"Do you two still remember Zhu Jin and Zhu Guogong back then?"

"Of course I remember that Zhu Guogong, who went on the Northern Expedition with Yuan Chonghuan and made the Tartars frightened, is my Lao Zhang's idol!" Zhang Xianzhong patted his chest and said.

"It's a pity that I was killed by traitors, and a generation of loyalty and goodness fell!" Even the old man of the twin cities was all impressed.

"Exactly. When the Zhu family was tragically destroyed, I thought that I was the only one who could escape, but I didn't expect that I accidentally discovered that the eldest young master of the Zhu family was still alive! Li Zicheng said.

"What do you say? Are Zhu Guogong's descendants still alive? Where is it? My old Zhang is the first person to protect him! Zhang Xianzhong was very excited. Heroes cherish heroes.

"It can't be him, right?" The old man of the twin cities asked.

Li Zicheng did not answer.

"Is it really him?" The excitement on Zhang Xianzhong's face turned into doubt.

Li Zicheng's eyes closed slightly and nodded.

"Huh?!" The old man of Shuangcheng and Zhang Xianzhong exclaimed in unison.

"I remember the cross tattoo on his shoulder very well, and I can't be wrong. You say, how do I do it?! Li Zicheng spread his hands and asked excitedly. The old man of Shuangcheng and Zhang Xianzhong had no choice but to be silent.

"Then why didn't you save him?" After a while, the old man of the twin cities asked.

"I can't save him, as you said, every man his own master." It seems that Li Zicheng is not rash and his mind is sober.

"And what about him?" Zhang Xianzhong asked.

"Behold his creation." Li Zicheng sighed. After that, inside the military tent, the three fell into their own silence.

The so-called creation is that when the two jailers woke up, they found that Zhu Qing in the cell was already standing in front of the window! The spirit looks pretty good.

"How is that possible? Still half dead in the morning. A jailer muttered.

"Let's go, hurry up and report to King Chuang." Two jailers proposed, and one went to report.

"Brother, do you have something to eat?" Zhu Qing turned around, looked at the jailer with a smile on his face, and asked.

"Humph! Death row prisoner, death is on the verge of death, what else do you eat? The jailer replied angrily.

Zhu Qing didn't get angry at all, and still said with a smile, "You don't have to eat until you die, haven't you heard that you don't want to be a starving ghost when you die?" ”

Seeing that Zhu Qing not only looked good, but also was in better spirits, and regarded death as home, the jailer was speechless.

"Well said." At this time, applause sounded outside the door, and a person walked over, this person was dressed in a fancy costume and his status was not low, it was Li Zicheng's deputy general, Yang Zongmin!

Yang Zongmin came to the door with a basket of wine and food, and the jailer hurriedly opened the door for him.

Yang Zongmin walked in with a smile, "Come on, come on, I heard that you pretended to be Yang and picked off the Yang Dao guard to congratulate the general?" I think it has strengthened my Yang Zongmin's prestige, and today Yang prepared a little thin wine and came to thank him. Yang Zongmin said, placing the meal on a desk in the cell.

Zhu Qing felt that Yang Zongmin had something to say, and the laughter was even more panicked. However, he still walked over with a smile on his face, picked up a pot of wine on the table and sniffed it, "Good wine, General Yang bothered." Saying that, Zhu Qing was about to drink. At this time, there was another person outside the door. "Slow, early in the morning, what's the drink? Zhu Gongzi, it's better to drink this bowl of porridge, this is what the little girl personally helped Gongzi boil. Li Xiu'e also walked into the cell with a basket.

Yang Zongmin was a little surprised to see Li Xiu'e suddenly appear, but he quickly calmed down his mood and smiled slightly, "Miss, the sun is in the west, why is it still early?" ”

"Didn't Uncle Yang just get up?" Li Xiu'e said. Yang Zongmin suddenly didn't know how to answer.

Zhu Qing broke the deadlock, "Hehe, it's really strange today, this death is dying, and you can still eat so much delicious food." Hey, I said General Yang, it's not easy for this eldest lady to make porridge herself, and I can't waste it. I'd better drink porridge first, and then drink wine. Zhu Qing said, took the hot porridge from Li Xiu'e's hand, blew it down, and drank it with a lur. Yang Zongmin watched from the sidelines, very unhappy, flicked his sleeves, and walked out of the door. Zhu Qing and Li Xiu'e looked at the angry Yang Zongmin and couldn't help but smile at each other.

After Yang Zongmin left, Zhu Qing looked at the pot of wine, sneered, poured the wine into the urine bucket, and suddenly a push of black smoke rose, Zhu Qing and Li Xiu'e twisted their noses and hurriedly fanned their breath, I don't know if the wine was too poisonous or the urine was too sassy. The whole room was suddenly smoky.

"Hey, I shouldn't have fallen there." Zhu Qing sighed, he wanted to make a prank, but he didn't expect to do it himself, but Zhu Qing's action still caused Li Xiu'e to laugh. Zhu Qing also laughed stupidly.

Just as the jailer entered the tent to report Zhu Qing's situation, Huzi suddenly ran into the tent and muttered something in Li Zicheng's ear. At this time, it was already afternoon, and all the generals and strategists woke up to discuss the siege. Huzi's move is obviously deliberately secretive, which can be seen to be important news.

After Li Zicheng heard this, he waved the shrimp soldiers and crab generals, leaving only the backbone.

"Lao Chuang, what's the situation?" Zhang Xianzhong was the first to ask.

Seeing that the idlers and others had retreated, Li Zicheng said softly, "The spies came to report, Yang Sichang and He Renlong were stiff. ”

"Great! Good news! When the generals heard this, they were all excited.

"Big brother, which side to do first?" Huzi can't wait.

"Yang Dao has just had an accident, He Renlong is absolutely strict against it, what do you say?" Li Zicheng smiled slightly at the corner of his mouth.

The generals also laughed. A decision coincided with this. Pointing directly at Yang Sichang!

Yang Sichang's side, of course, also knew that he could not support it alone, so he immediately admonished Chongzhen, who returned to Kaifeng. Chongzhen drafted an order and ordered He Renlong to go to support. However, Chongzhen didn't expect that this time, his jade seal was useless.

Sun Chuanting had a premonition and admonished Chongzhen, "Your Majesty, according to Weichen's opinion, you can send Lord Ghost Fire to support General Yang." ”

"Your Majesty, as a royal brocade guard, how can Ghost Fire leave the emperor's side? According to the old slave's opinion, it is more appropriate for Lord Killing Wind to go. Wang Chengen, who came from the palace to greet him, said quietly in Chongzhen's ear. Chongzhen suddenly seemed to be enchanted, and really changed his mind, "Then let Kill Feng lead the Jinyi Guard to support General Yang!" "As soon as the emperor's Chrysostom opens, who dares to disobey?

Sun Chuanting, Liu Qingfeng and the others all sighed, because everyone knew that this was a vicious battle, even if it was Jinyiwei, how could they defeat the hundreds of thousands of troops of the intruding army? However, Killing Wind still said expressionlessly, "Minister, obey the order!" ”

Once the time for the battle has been determined, the two sides will enter a state of combat readiness. Looking at the movements of the military camp outside, Zhu Qing, who was in prison, also had a premonition in his heart. In the past two days, although there was no poison in his meal, Li Xiu'e never came to deliver the food again. Zhu Qing asked the jailer, but the jailer didn't know anything. Zhu Qing was helpless, he really wanted to break out of the window, he had already recovered this strength! But he felt a little sorry for Li Xiu'e's father and daughter, it was obvious that they intended to protect him, so they kept him until now. But Zhu Qing didn't know that he could also be used by others.

The day before the war, Li Zicheng came to visit Zhu Qing alone with a pot of wine, which was the first time Li Zicheng came to the cell after Zhu Qing was arrested.

"Young Master, are you still used to living?" Li Zicheng smiled slightly.

"Thanks to you, eat well and sleep well." Zhu Qing also smiled.

"Do you know why I didn't kill you?" Li Zicheng poured a glass of wine and handed it to Zhu Qing.

Zhu Qing took it, "It's not because I'm your eldest young master." ”

"Hahaha, the eldest young master has seen the outside, but I'm really selfish. I'll tell you the truth. If we defeat tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, I will naturally let the eldest young master go to repay Zhu Guogong for his love for Li. Li became a self-enlightened man.

"What if we lose?" Zhu Qing asked.

"Then you're going to have to play this card." Li Zicheng smiled and toasted.

"Then I'll wait for you to come back and play cards." Zhu Qing sneered and toasted Li Zicheng.

"Hahaha......" Li Zicheng glanced at Zhu Qing, immediately laughed, and then got up and left.

Zhu Qing didn't fall asleep this night, he seemed to smell the smell of war, not around, but in that distant place.
