Chapter 109: The Body on the River
When a person is facing death, he knows his heart best, when the fire is surging towards him unscrupulously, through the heavy firelight, he seems to see Zhou Jinhuan slowly walking towards him, and his heart falls fiercely: Jinhuan, if I die, what should you do alone?
Zhou Jinhuan, who was far away in Shuozhou City, was eating at this time, and the recent war situation was beneficial to Shuozhou, she should have been at ease, but she couldn't eat a bite of the meal.
"Ah!" suddenly felt a throbbing pain in her heart, her head fell on the dining table suddenly, and Rujin next to her hurriedly helped her: "Jinhuan, what's wrong with you, do you want to invite a doctor?"
"They won't tell me where Jing Zhi went, Rujin, can you tell me?" As for the current battle situation, she heard most of them from Rujin, since Xiao Jingzhi came back, Zhang Zilang and Hei Asan have never come to Xiao Mansion again, presumably Xiao Jingzhi had instructed them not to disturb her before leaving.
However, she was inexplicably flustered at this moment, this kind of panic would often occur after she knew that Xiao Jingzhi had put down Zhangzhou City and came here to relieve the siege, but such a strong reaction was the first time: He, is there something wrong?
"Jin Huan, I don't say that you also understand, General Xiao told me before leaving, don't let me tell you, your husband and you yourself know that people like him have been on the battlefield for a long time, experienced, nothing will happen, if you wait for him to come back, what do you have to do, we people can't get out of it, you know?" Rujin was very embarrassed, but Zhou Jinhuan didn't let her go, holding her hand, with tears in her eyes: "Then can you tell me the real battle situation outside, I want to know, is this not okay?"
"It's okay, I said, you can eat as much as you want, if you continue like this, your body will not be able to bear it. Rujin compromised, she was a well-informed person, she just told her about the battle situation, and didn't say anything else.
"In other words, because of the cooperation of those mountain bandit leaders in Mengshan and the soldiers in our military camp, those Xianbei soldiers can't take advantage?"
Using those mountain bandit leaders to contain the Xianbei soldiers, this is indeed like the means that Xiao Jingzhi will use, Hei Asan was originally a hooligan leader, and he has his own means to deal with the three sects and nine streams, saying this, she will believe it.
However, if he just persuaded those hooligan leaders, he should have come back a long time ago, even if he still wanted to go to Zhangzhou City, he would definitely go to Xiao Mansion first, and he would not leave without a sound.
So, where is he now, in addition to these things, he must be doing other things, other things that can make Shuozhou City safe and can restrain the Xianbei soldiers, but what will it be, what will it be that makes him keep silent about her, and even makes the people around him block the news?
This shows that she is taking risks, what will he do risky things, what risky things will make him feel that he is not so sure and refuse to talk to her?
Siege Wei to save Zhao, he is using this method to save Shuozhou City, and he wants to capture Shengle, the capital of Xianbei, not to mention anything else, even the number of soldiers is insufficient.
The soldiers in Shuozhou City were already insufficient, and when he fought with Xianbei before, there were many losses, and he could bring too few soldiers and horses!
"Jin Huan, don't stop talking, you talk, huh?" Rujin was frightened by her increasingly pale face, and hurriedly shook her arm, but she seemed to have lost her soul, and she didn't react for a long time, Rujin reached out and pinched her face: "Jin Huan, don't scare me, General Xiao and his Ji people have their own natural appearance, don't think too much......"
"I ...... I'm fine, I'm really fine. She squeezed out a smile, holding the bowl, mechanically using chopsticks to pick up rice in her mouth, her hands were shaking, the smile was still frozen on her face, and she did not obey the call.
Rujin was indeed a little scared of her reaction, so he stayed with her, and did not return to Zheng's mansion until the evening, but accompanied her, Rujin was too afraid that something would happen to her.
However, no one could stop her from what Zhou Jinhuan wanted to do, so after Rujin fell asleep, she sneaked away.
The guards in the Xiao Mansion are very strict, but Zhou Jinhuan has her own methods, she has a skin mask, and she is also above board to leave.
She walked out of the Xiao Mansion with an ordinary face that was almost mediocre, but after leaving the Xiao Mansion, she went directly to Zhang Zilang.
Zhang Zilang would never agree to her to take him to Shengle, but since she dared to come to him, there would naturally be a way to make him agree.
Zhang Zilang has been exhausted by the war in the past few days, and when he returned to the house, it was already late at night, and he didn't expect to see Zhou Jinhuan, who he hadn't seen for a few days.
"Zhou ...... Mrs. Xiao, why are you here?" Mrs. Xiao wanted to enter the Zhang Mansion, and the guards naturally didn't dare to stop her, what he said was nonsense.
"Zhang Zilang, tell me honestly, is Xiao Jingzhi in Shengle now?" she asked aggressively, and the surprise on Zhang Zilang's face flashed: "How is it possible?"
"Are you still going to lie to me?" Zhou Jinhuan covered his heart and said hatefully: "Zhang Zilang, you should know my temper, Shengle I have to go, if you are my friend, send someone to go with me......"
"Sheng Le is in chaos now, I promised General Xiao that if he wants to protect you, he will never let you go there. Zhang Zilang interrupted her, he didn't know what the battle was going on in Shengle, but he knew that he would keep his promise and not let the woman in front of him get hurt.
"Zhang Zilang, do you know where the gap between you and Xiao Jingzhi is?" she used the agitation method, and every sentence was hard to hear: "Xiao Jingzhi can lead a few soldiers to Shengle for Shuozhou City, but you can only stay in the rear, bending down to pick up the results of other people's victories, do you want face?"
"Jing Zhi was the strongest 500 soldiers in the whole military camp at that time, and he could use such a small number of soldiers to defeat Hu He of Daliang and capture Shengle ......"
"It's easy to take Shengle, why don't you keep talking, you know it's, don't you?"
Zhou Jinhuan's words made him speechless, yes, he regarded Xiao Jingzhi as his idol, but how could he not have thought about hiding behind Xiao Jingzhi with a fluke mentality to achieve those simple victories?
"Zhang Zilang, if you really have some conscience and really regard me and Jing Zhi as friends, you should at least send someone to follow me, right?"
The heat was almost over, Zhou Jinhuan saw that his eyes were a little sluggish, so she added a fire, she was very sure, according to Zhang Zilang's character, he would definitely agree.
"Okay, I'll go with you. Zhang Zilang's words made Zhou Jinhuan almost jump to his feet: "What did you say?!"
"Zhang Zilang, you are convulsive, do you know what the situation is now, Jing Zhi is now in Shengle and Shuozhou City is beyond the reach of the whip, although it is said that there are you, Big Brother Hei, Cao Ming, and Fan Zhi as deputy generals in the military camp now, but if you think about it carefully, who can afford to provoke the big beam except you now?" If it weren't for her own identity and her own situation, she really wanted to beat him up and let him figure out the situation:" Big Brother Hei is brave, compared to his murderous ability, no one in the entire military camp is his opponent, but his character is very reckless and not calm enough; and Cao Ming and Fan Zhi, although Xiao Jingzhi took a fancy to the two of them, he also showed great trust in them before leaving, but this does not mean that the two of them have no disagreement, once they have any ideas, but they are more powerful than those Xianbei soldiers, I am afraid that you will not even have a place to cry when the time comes!"
Zhang Zilang seemed to wake up, came out of his excitement, and asked his little servant Ah Rong to accompany her to Shengle.
After coming out of Zhang's mansion, Zhou Jinhuan finally put on his heart, put on a human skin mask again, and went on the road with Ah Rong.
Sheng Le's journey was very long, they almost didn't rest, they just kept hurrying, she was still flustered, the closer she was to Sheng Le, the more panicked she felt.
They did not dare to go directly to Shengle, but set out from the west, first to Yongle.
The Yongle in front of him made Zhou Jinhuan want a word: hell on earth.
She had seen the looted Zhangzhou City before, but Yongle was even worse than the Zhangzhou City at that time, they passed through the streets one by one, and finally walked to the easternmost part of Yongle City, which was a river, a river that was not wide or narrow, and there were large pieces of corpses floating on it, she had been to the barracks, and knew that those were the military uniforms of the Shuozhou garrison, and the dead people were all Shuozhou soldiers, all of them were Xiao Jingzhi's people, so Xiao Jingzhi, what about her Jingzhi?
What about Jing Zhi who said that she would wait for him in the mansion?
The river was very cold in autumn, and she wanted to go into the water to see the corpses that were still in the water, but Ah Rong stopped her: "Mrs. Xiao, you still don't want to go, I'll help you take a look at ......"
"Why do you want to go, I'm going!"
Zhou Jinhuan pushed him away and walked straight into the water, the river was not deep or shallow, just enough to reach her neck, and she could die if she lowered her head slightly.
The river is very long and very cold, she walked past one corpse after another, from the southern section of the river to the middle of the river, turning over no less than a hundred corpses, but without him, fortunately without him, but looking at the remaining corpses, my heart fell again, and my hands became colder: Jing Zhi, you must not be dead, are you, these corpses are not yours, right, these Shuozhou soldiers must have acted without authorization, you must not have participated, right?
Unfortunately, no one answered her, she bit her lip and walked forward, but by this time her steps were already a little weak, and the resistance of the water was too great for her, and she seemed to be unable to walk......
"Jin Huan!" was an anxious voice, she seemed to be hallucinating, but she walked forward with instinct, without raising her head, but at this time, her eyes were dark, and the whole person was planted towards the river, and the cold river water soaked into her mouth, nose and eyes, she was a little anxious: what to do, it seems that she is going to die, but before she dies, she can still hallucinate his voice, and God seems to treat her well......
Her body did not sink into the water, but fell into a warm embrace, and then jumped up from the river with her in her arms, and a pitying kiss fell on her bloodless lips: "Jinhuan, why are you here?"
