367. Survive the crisis
Otherwise, it is really unpredictable that Zhou Xiuye will do something jealous at that time.
At this time, the affairs between her and Zhou Xiuye were well-known, and the only men who dared to come to the county lord's mansion to visit her were Zhou Xiuyan, Jiang Xi and Qiao Tianwang.
In the promised ten days, Zhou Lizhang replied to the prince of Xiao Guo and sternly rejected his confidant.
At this time, Zhou Lizhang began to be extremely vigilant and ordered Rong Xing to be on standby at any time.
Three days later, the eldest prince of Xiao sent another letter to Zhou Lizhang, saying that he had led people to smash a mansion on the border of Zhou Yanguo and Xiao State, and reported to Zhou Lizhang in detail that he had killed all the men and all the women who were taken captive by him to Xiao State to breed people for Xiao State.
The border mansion mentioned by the prince of Xiao Guo is the mansion where Zhou Lizhang put Zhou Xiuhao under house arrest in the border, and it is Zhou Lizhang's son who is no longer rare Zhou Xiuhao, he is always the blood of the royal family, and he was casually killed at this time, which made Zhou Lizhang angry.
Xiao Guo is playing with Zhou Yanguo's strictness!
Therefore, on the same day, Zhou Lizhang ordered five generals, including General Chen and General Liu, to go to the border of Xiao with 100,000 heroes of Zhou Yanguo, so that they would inevitably win a battle and return the prisoners of the prince of Xiao and the soldiers of Xiao State.
Hearing the news, Qiao Siwan couldn't help frowning, Zhou Xiuhao wouldn't have died so easily, maybe he was also liberated because of this disaster, Sai Weng lost his horse.
Getting the news, Qiao Qianshu was stunned for a while, she didn't know whether she should be sad because of Zhou Xiuhao's death, or should she be happy and celebrated.
Guo Laohan's demeanor is so gloomy that it has intensified.
This battle disaster has come.
Zhou Yanguo's years of tranquility and war-free were thus broken.
Every day, Qiao Siwan Duyi and Zhou Xiuye meet, because every day there is a lot of news sent to Duyi.
In this era, Cheng Cheng arrived in Yandu City, but he did not stay in the county lord's mansion, but was placed in Zhencao Rejuvenation Hall by Zhou Xiuye.
Cheng Cheng is a medical student, and although he doesn't say anything about dealing with such a place, it can be seen from his expression that he is the most freehand.
These days, Qiao Siwan often talks to Cheng Cheng about how to make Zhou Lizhang's strategy of trusting Qin Kaige fail.
At the same time, Zhou Xiuye quietly accelerated the rate at which his power was quietly transferred to the Yuze Kingdom.
Ten days later, good news came from the border, General Chen and General Liu led an army of 100,000 to defeat the 100,000 troops of the prince of Xiao State and retreat.
The big people Xiao Guo soldiers were all captured, but the prince of Xiao Guo escaped.
This is indeed good news, although they are all 100,000 soldiers, but the prince of Xiao Guo respects martial arts, and his gaze is mainly meat-eating, and the soldiers are all tall and brave, brave and good at fighting, far from the physique of Zhou Yanguo's soldiers can be compared.
Zhou Lizhang was overjoyed, and once again issued an order, ordering the soldiers in the line of fire to return the captive prince of Xiao Guo and parade the streets of Yandu City.
After this edict was issued, Zhou Lizhang thought that he would receive the good news again as soon as possible, but he didn't expect that this would be another ten days.
However, this time it was not good news that came back, but the news of the defeat of 100,000 heroes.
The legitimate Zhou Yanguo soldiers traced the footprints of the eldest prince of Xiao State, and when they saw that he was captured alive, Xiao Tianyan, the third prince of Xiao State, rushed over with his troops, not only killing all the Zhou Yanguo soldiers, but also proposing a surprise attack on the remaining Zhou Yanguo soldiers, which caught Zhou Yanguo off guard for a while.
On the same day, when Zhou Xiuye and Qiao Siwan received the news, their expressions were a little dignified.
General Chen is brave and unscrupulous, and General Liu is also extremely brave.
Although Xiao Tianyan is a good person, General Chen and General Liu are not equals.
Zhou Xiuye and Qiao Siwan glanced at each other, and each other had a motive in their hearts.
That is, there are agents on Zhou Yanguo's side, and they are big agents who can touch combat strategies, just like Guo Jiangyong in the plague in Huaizhou City at the beginning.
Zhou Xiuye's phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, and there was a dangerous aura shining in it: "I will order someone to sponsor General Chen before, and I will definitely let him live well." ”
Qiao Siwan slapped heavily.
However, the news of the defeat has only just begun.
Almost every few days, there will always be news of defeat in the border to return, and by the last time, Zhou Yanguo's 100,000 male divisions had been lost to 40,000.
These news made Zhou Lizhang uneasy, and secretly hated Xiao Tianyan in his heart for being a traitorous villain.
A few years away, there was news from the border that Xiao Guo's 200,000 male divisions were pressing.
In addition, there is also the news that General Chen, General Liu and other soldiers were captured by Xiao Tianyan.
Now, Zhou Lizhang is really anxious.
The next day, Zhou Lizhang issued an edict summoning Guo Jiangyong and several generals back to Beijing, ordering them to lead 200,000 heroes to resist foreign enemies.
At this time, it was as if there was a dark cloud surrounding the territory of Zhou Yanguo, and he was in danger, and the disaster came too much, making people hidden and frightened.
In the county lord's mansion, Jiang Xi was even more anxious and scratched his head.
Qiao Siwan once watched Jiang Xi spin back and forth in front of her eyes for a morning, and she was dizzy from him, and she was confused when she looked at any instrument.
However, Qiao Siwan sat most patiently, she was waiting for Zhou Xiuye's arrival.
After all, Zhou Xiuye's people had rushed to the border, and I don't know if there was any news of General Chen.
At noon, Zhou Xiuye rushed over.
As soon as they heard that Zhou Xiuye's people had not found General Chen's whereabouts, Jiang Xi sat down on the ground with a depressed and hopeless expression.
Zhou Xiuye's phoenix eyes sank, and he pulled out the silver forging on his waist, and when Jiang Xi didn't understand, he pointed his sword straight at Jiang Xi's eyebrows, the tip of the sword flashed with a dangerous aura, and his voice was as cold as ice: "Jiang Xi, you stand up for me!" ”
Zhou Xiuye's surprise to Qiao Siwan and Jiang Xi was shocked.
Unless she was facing an enemy, at any other time, Qiao Siwan had never seen Zhou Xiuye's murderous demeanor.
Jiang Xi was stunned for a while, although he was most afraid of Zhou Xiuye, but Zhou Xiuye really treated him the best over the years, but the only time it was not so good was because he made a mistake.
Over the years, Zhou Xiuye had never pointed a sword at him like he did today.
Seeing that the tip of Zhou Xiuye's sword was only a finger's distance from Jiang Xi's eyebrows, Qiao Siwan's heart was raised, she knew that Zhou Xiuye's swordsmanship was the most accurate, but she still couldn't help but worry in her heart that if he missed, it was expected that he would never forgive himself for the rest of his life.
However, at the same time, Qiao Siwan also understood Zhou Xiuye's physiology, he wanted to use this technique to force Jiang Xi to get up, and force Jiang Xi to develop rapidly.
But obviously, Jiang Xi didn't realize this yet, thinking that Zhou Xiuye was real, his heart jumped violently, and the corners of his mouth pulled out a smile: "Brother Ye, don't be like this, aren't you here for real?" ”
Hearing this, Qiao Siwan, who was somewhat dizzy, almost fell on the chair.
Brother Ye...... This title, Jiang Xi called out a good boy, which always made her think that it was the weirdest.
Zhou Xiuye's eyes sank a little more, and the sword pointing at Jiang Xi's eyebrows came closer, and his voice was as cold as frost: "If you don't stand up, I'll be real, even if you can give it a try." ”
Hearing this, Jiang Xi moved his body back a little carefully, quickly stood up, straightened his body upright, and said with a smile: "Boss Ye, I once stood up, so shouldn't your sword also be put away?" ”
Such a solemn terrain was broken by Jiang Xi in this way.
Zhou Xiuye glanced at Jiang Xi coldly, and put away the silver forging as he said.
In this process, Jiang Xi's eyes were fixed on the sword in Zhou Xiuye's hand, but before he could see how Zhou Xiuye put the sword at his waist, his sword had completely dissipated in his hand.
However, at this time, Jiang Xi's eyes also swept to Qiao Siwan who was sitting on the side, and suddenly understood that when he and Zhou Xiuye were speaking, Qiao Siwan was there, so didn't she know what he had to do with Boss Ye?
Thinking of this, Jiang Xi's expression changed slightly. He has been hiding the best all these years, but he didn't expect to leak it so much today.
Seeing this, Zhou Xiuye said lightly: "I once reported our relationship to Weiwei, she is not an outsider. ”
Jiang Xi's expression changed for a while, he breathed a deep sigh of relief, and finally turned into a relaxed smile, and glanced at Zhou Xiuye accusatory: "Boss Ye, you are really, since Xiao Qi knew it a long time ago, you didn't report me, and I was worried in vain." ”
Qiao Siwan immediately twisted her head to the side, not letting her look at Jiang Xi, lest she couldn't help laughing.
She knew the relationship between Jiang Xi and Zhou Xiuye, but Jiang Xi's demeanor at this time was really like being coquettish to Zhou Xiuye, and she had goosebumps when she saw her.
Sensing the change in Qiao Siwan's expression, Zhou Xiuye's eyes were cold, and he glanced at Jiang Xi: "Put away that hippie smile, good language, I have something to report to you today." ”
Qiao Siwan's eyes moved slightly, and she looked at Zhou Xiuye with a problematic look, and seeing the strength in his eyes, she might have guessed what he wanted to say to Jiang Xi.
Therefore, Qiao Siwan found a pinch and left, leaving the space to Zhou Xiuye and Jiang Xi, Jiang Xi looked smiling, but his conceit was the strongest, and it was better to give the speech between their brothers to the two of them, so as not to make him unable to start in front of his eyes in the future.
Jiang Xi hurriedly came to the county lord's mansion with a high spirit, and finally left with a solemn look.
Looking at Jiang Xi's back as he left, Qiao Siwan asked, "You told him everything about General Chen Su and General Chen?" ”
Zhou Xiuye slapped slightly: "I always thought he was frizzy, but at this time, I have to force him to grow up quickly." ”
Looking at the heaviness in Zhou Xiuye's eyes, Qiao Siwan knew that he was worried about General Chen, and whispered comfortingly: "Your people have not been to the border, and there may be news of General Chen soon." General Chen is a long-lived person, and he will not be so easily wrecked. ”
In fact, in his previous life, General Chen had at least nearly twenty years of life, but at this time, the luck of many people had begun to change, and they had not followed the trajectory of their previous life.
Qiao Siwan didn't dare to report to Zhou Xiuye with 100% certainty, General Chen would inevitably get through this crisis.
After returning from the county lord's mansion that day, Jiang Xi locked himself in the study and locked himself up all night.
The next morning, Jiang Xi found Zhou Xiuye and reported that he was going to go to the border with the Xiongshi, that he would personally go into battle to kill the enemy, and that he would personally rescue General Chen.
Zhou Xiuye looked at Jiang Xi's strong eyes and asked lightly, "Are you serious?" You see, many things are not just how you want them to be. You have to think about it, once you go to the border, not only may you achieve nothing, but you will lose your own life? ”
Jiang Xi slapped heavily: "I know!" I also know that in Boss Ye's heart, I'm just a, but I want you to give me a chance to prove myself. My father saw me as his own, raised me, taught me the arts, and in my heart he was my biological father. My father is in danger at this time, I don't know whether he is alive or dead, I will inevitably find my father back, and I will not abandon him if I can't find him! ”
