Zuo Ying was stunned for a while. This question has pointed to her biggest secret. Especially when it was brought up in Helan Chu's mouth, it made her suddenly feel like she was talking to her mortal enemy.

And Zuo Ying can't answer this question positively. Maybe Helan Chu could only ask Cang Tian why she didn't die early in her previous life.

Zuo Ying thought for a while and said calmly: "If you are not in your position, you will not seek your own government." ”

Helan Chu played with these words, as if he suddenly realized that he was actually trying to blame the fault of the past on this little empress, and couldn't help but feel a trace of self-deprecation.

He said lightly: "What Your Majesty said is very true. ”

I don't know if it's because of alcohol, Helan Chu's "sentimentality" tonight seems to have infected Zuo Ying.

She looked at the neighboring tents, bright torches, and human figures, and suddenly felt strange and strange about the environment that she thought she had already accepted and adapted. If he hadn't crossed over to this body that day, maybe Helan Chu would have taken over the country, which was actually quite good for the overall situation. Moreover, Scarlet Feather will not meet her, and will not sacrifice for her.

"Aiqing," Zuo Ying said slowly, "I also have something I want to ask you." ”

"Listen to me." Helan Chu's eyes lowered.

Zuo Ying sighed silently and said, "How much courage does it take to always believe that a person who was separated in the chaos is still alive?" ”

Helan Chu raised his eyes to look at Zuo Ying, his eyes trembling slightly.

After a pause, he said in a deep voice: "You need to have the courage to bear the loss again." ”

Zuo Ying looked at Helan Chu and was silent. There was a hint of pathos in his eyes. But the corners of his mouth hooked up a light smile.

"Your Majesty," Helan Chu's tone softened a little, and his voice became even better, "Wei Wu cried filial piety and the scribe was ashamed; Mourning and the military generals are gone. His Majesty has been in danger many times today. Remembering the deceased guard, Ling Chen felt guilty. I am willing to do my best to keep Your Majesty safe. ”

Zuo Ying smiled and said: "Aiqing commands the three armies, and the military affairs are busy. How can it be all-encompassing? But at the moment, it can be overused for a moment. ”

"Obey and obey." Helan Chu said calmly.

Zuo Ying turned around and walked towards the distance as she said, "I want to ask Aiqing to take on the duties of the Taifu for a while, and lead me to familiarize myself with the situation in the army." ”

"I am willing to do the work of dogs and horses." Helan Chu followed and walked towards the outskirts of the barracks with Zuo Ying.

Helan Chu said as he walked: "Our army follows the Qi system, with five people as a team, ten soldiers as a small army, four small soldiers as a pawn, ten pawns as a brigade, and five brigades as an army......

Zuo Ying listened carefully. She always felt that Helan Chu usually cherished words like gold. Today seems to have a feeling of knowing everything and saying everything, like if she missed this time, she might never have a chance to teach her anything. Looking at his tall and handsome silhouette, listening to his no longer reckless words, I had a strange feeling in my heart, like relief but not joy. It's like being lonely but can't find a reason.

While the dynasty's military camp was jubilant, it was a time when the Six Dust Sect members in Ziyang City were indignant and melancholy. They didn't expect this seamless serial plan to be calculated by the general, and ended up with a loss of soldiers.

At this moment, the atmosphere in the Taishou Mansion was extremely solemn.

"Last night, we lost 3,000 elites in the first battle, and the two senior brothers Xu and Yu were captured, and their lives and deaths are uncertain...... How good is that? A Six Dust Leader frowned.

Another person also sighed: "The city here is not very strong, although it has been strengthened earlier, but tomorrow morning, the imperial army will be surrounded on all sides." I'm afraid it's going to be overstretched and unsustainable. ”

Even the protector of Lu Zuo on the seat did not have the appearance of talking and laughing freely in the past.

He was about to speak, when a disciple of the Six Dust Sect came in from outside the door and saluted: "Zuo Protector, there is a person from outside the Taishou Mansion who asks to see him." I didn't allow it at first, but she said that when the Zuo Dharma Protector saw such a thing, he would naturally allow it. ”

The disciple said as he presented a beeswax bead in both hands. As soon as the bead was revealed, everyone's eyes were already on their feet.

Lu Zuo's Dharma Protector took the bead and said, "This is the Dharma bead of Master Yiquan." The overflowing fountain is here. Hurry up and open the door to greet you! ”

This magic bead is owned by the supreme leader of the Six Dust Sect, and all the leaders of the Six Dust Sect recognize it, but the disciples at the bottom may not have seen it, so they just guess that person may have a little background, but they don't dare to judge it easily.

When the Six Dust Sect disciples heard this, they immediately ran to open the door and confess.

Lu Zuo's protector also straightened his clothes and led everyone present to walk quickly towards the door.

Since the failed sneak attack that night and suffered a heavy setback, the thieves of Ziyang City have been unable to hold out, no matter how unbearable the scolding and scolding of the soldiers outside is, the relatives of the seniors who defend the city have all scolded thoroughly, and they have never scolded half of the people who came to fight in Kaicheng.

Two days later, Helan Chu gathered his forces and launched a fierce attack, but firstly, there was enough military strength in Ziyang City, and secondly, the siege battle was beneficial to the defenders after all, and after a few days, the dynasty army did not have much advantage. Moreover, strange things happen frequently in the siege of the city, such as the ladder is set up, and the soldiers climb to a high place in the face of arrows and stones, but the ladder suddenly breaks for no reason, and people are thrown to death; Or when you slam the city gate with a rushing car, you see that the city gate is about to break, only to find that the damage on the door is instantly healing...... There are many strange things like this. As a result, many soldiers, even those who did not believe in the heresy of the Six Dust Sect, couldn't help but feel panicked in their hearts, and discussed it privately, feeling more and more that the enemy army did have the help of gods as they claimed.

The dynastic army then changed its strategy and only besieged but did not attack, expecting that the food and grass in the city would not last for more than a month. Even if the Six Dust Thieves stationed elsewhere came to disturb them, their strength would not be enough to turn the tide of the battle. Most of the leaders of the Six Dust Sect were concentrated in Ziyang City, and the survival of Ziyang City was the key to this battle.

In the evening of this day, Xiao Fu'er knocked on the door of the abandoned house, and when he flashed in, Scarlet Feather was standing behind the door.

"Little Fu'er girl, why did you take so many things today?" Scarlet Feather snatched the cloth bag in Xiao Fu'er's hand and said as she walked forward.

Xiao Fu'er raised her head and said, "Brother Scarlet Feather, Xiao Fu'er may not be able to come to see you every day in the future." These rice noodles, you hold on for a few days first. ”

"What's going on out there?" Scarlet Feather wondered.

"The dynasty army is besieging the city." Xiao Fu'er pursed her lips, she felt that she and Scarlet Feather might have a very different view on this matter, "Many people in the city have begun to have a shortage of food at home, and the Fang Market is no longer open, so Xiao Fu'er has no reason to run to the Fang Market." ”

"Is the Dynasty Army already besieging the city?" The expression of joy that Scarlet Feather had just revealed seemed to quickly dim again, "But...... If this continues, will the people all starve to death in the city? ”

Xiao Fu'er said uneasily: "I heard that the army has begun to save food. Xiao Fu'er also heard the people on the road talking about the grain in several rice shops just now, saying that the grain in several rice shops had been requisitioned by the army. The people don't know how long they can last with food in their homes. Xiao Fu'er also heard that some soldiers began to loot in the houses, and if someone finds this place again, they may not be as lucky as last time. ”

The more she spoke, the more worried she became, and the face that had always had an optimistic look could no longer smile. She raised her head and looked at Scarlet Feather and said, "Brother Scarlet Feather, Xiao Fu'er doesn't want to die here, Xiao Fu'er still wants to retrieve her father's bones and take them back to her hometown to return to her roots." ”

Scarlet Feather showed a gentle smile and said, "Little Fu'er girl, you are a kind and good girl, God will not be so ruthless to you." When the fighting is over and the flood waters recede, Your Majesty will decree that your home will be rebuilt for you, and your wish will be fulfilled at that time. ”

Xiao Fu'er looked at Scarlet Feather's smile that could heal the wound and gently hooked the corners of her lips, "Brother Scarlet Feather, when the time comes, where will you go?" Are you going back to your hometown too? ”

Scarlet Feather's voice was gentle with a hint of sadness, "Scarlet Feather has been away from home since she was a child, and she doesn't know where her hometown is. ”

Xiao Fu'er immediately comforted: "Brother Scarlet Feather, don't be sad. In fact, Xiao Fuer's hometown today is not a real hometown. Xiao Fu'er used to hear from her father and mother that their parents did not approve of them being together, so they escaped from home and settled in the seaside village. And their hometown, that is, Xiao Fu'er's hometown, is actually on an island far from the mainland. Xiao Fu'er will bring her father and mother back in the future. ”

She seems to recall a lot of things, "Although we all live happily in the seaside village and get along well with everyone, Xiao Fu'er has known since she was a child that she is different from other children in the village. When I was young, I didn't feel anything, but the more I grew up, the more Xiao Fu'er understood why her father and mother had a lingering sense of loneliness in this village, and why she always considered whether she could return to her hometown. ”

Scarlet Feather listened quietly. Although he was also curious about Xiao Fu'er's life experience, he didn't ask questions, for fear that others would not want people to know too much.

And Xiao Fu'er mustered up the courage to tell Scarlet Feather the secret of his body. There may not be many opportunities to meet in the future, and there may never be a chance to meet again, and she wants to confide in him more.

She stopped, looked at Scarlet Feather and said, "Brother Scarlet Feather, Xiao Fu'er is actually not a daughter now. The gender of Xiao Fu'er's race is not innate, but is determined by his own will......"

Xiao Fu'er's words didn't seem to be finished, and Scarlet Feather's eyes widened in surprise, unable to hide the excitement in her heart. He said eagerly: "Little Fu'er girl, what is the name of the island you are talking about, your hometown?" In what place? ”

Xiao Fu'er didn't know why Scarlet Feather, who was usually as quiet as the unsettling water of the pond, was so urgent because of her words. Although she imagined that he might be stunned and disgusted when he knew the secret on his body, she never expected him to behave like this.

"I heard my father and mother say that the island is called ...... Uriku Island. ”
