Reality seemed to be forcing Xiao Jingzhi to make a choice between Zhou Jinhuan and the people of Zhangzhou City, and his heart ached.

"General Xiao, you haven't eaten anything since the morning, let's eat some food. The adjutant general brought a bowl of white porridge, he took it, and then put it on the table, as if asking himself: "Between the beloved and the people, who should be chosen as a general?"

"To the public, it is the people, and to the private, it is the beloved. The deputy general thought he was asking himself, and replied casually, Xiao Jingzhi chuckled: "Vice General Cong didn't get married, right?"

"Why is a good man without a wife?" The deputy general seemed to be right, and there was a suspicious red on his dark face, and he changed the subject: "What is the embarrassing thing that Mrs. Xiao has encountered?"

"I want to be selfish, and now I want to run to Shuozhou and run to her side. If it weren't for a trace of calmness and unwillingness, he would have ridden to Shuozhou by now.

"Actually, the general can go to see Madame, then Hu He just wants to trap you, those homeless soldiers generally don't make any moves at night, the general can go to see the specific situation on Madame's side at night, and when they come back during the day, they won't know that the general is not in the barracks at all, in the end, as long as the general is in the barracks, they don't dare to move lightly......"

Vice General Cong's words seemed to have some meaning, interrupting his tirade, and Xiao Jingzhi asked, "What did you just say?"

"They don't dare to act rashly......"

"No, the front one. ”

"They won't know that the general is not in the barracks at all, after all, as long as the general is in the barracks......"

"That's right, it's the sentence 'In the end, as long as the general is in the barracks', as long as 'I' is in the barracks, it's enough!"

Vice General Cong on the side was completely blindfolded, but Xiao Jingzhi's face was much better, pulled him to sit down, and talked about his plan.

First of all, he secretly looked for someone similar to him in the barracks, and smuggled him into the tent when he was unprepared; secondly, he prepared materials such as pig skin, fat powder, and daishi to make human skin masks; and finally Li Dai Tao stiffened, and asked the selected people to pretend to be him Xiao Jingzhi himself, and go around the city from time to time to confuse Hu He and them.

"General, what is going to be done with that human skin mask, the humble position will not be ......" Vice General Cong wanted to use this excuse to make this plan go to naught, he couldn't believe that the plan could succeed, in fact, this plan was too risky, full of loopholes, not to mention, if General Hu He suddenly wanted to attack the city on a whim, how could this Zhangzhou City be kept?

"I won't either, but I can try, give you two days to find someone similar to me, and I'll also take advantage of these two days to study the human skin mask, if I can't see 'that person' in two days, not only will your lieutenant not be able to keep it, but it will be a problem if you can even save your life, understand?"

How risky this plan was, how he didn't know, but thinking of Zhou Jinhuan in Shuozhou, he felt that this risk was worth taking!

Vice General Cong's movements were fast, and when he came with a soldier who was 90 percent similar to Xiao Jingzhi, Xiao Jingzhi nodded to him.

This matter is absolutely secret, and only the three of them in the whole army know about it.

The army has a sense of honor, and when Xiao Jingzhi gave the soldier the matter of impersonating him as a political task, the soldier looked like a hero, and it can be seen that Deputy General Cong chose a good person.

Zhou Jinhuan never told him about the practice of human skin masks, but he knew the raw materials, and after two days of non-stop experiments, his human skin mask could finally be used.

When the human skin mask was pasted on the soldier's face, not to mention the deputy general Cong on the side, even Xiao Jingzhi himself was confused: who is himself?

"Vice General Cong, you have been with me for a long time, and you have to tell him my little habits, you have to keep him in order to keep you, in order to keep Zhangzhou City, do you understand?"

"General Xiao, don't worry, I will definitely complete the task well, and there will be no mistakes before you come back!"

After seeing the effect of the human skin mask, Vice General Cong became much more confident.

Xiao Jingzhi left overnight, Su Wan was still in the barracks, naturally even she didn't know that the real Xiao Jingzhi had already left.

When he left, he took some gold with him, bought a good horse, and hurried to Shuozhou City without stopping.

His speed was very fast, and he arrived in Shuozhou on the second day, he did not go to the barracks, but returned to Xiao Mansion, and the two guards stayed where they were, unable to speak.

"I'm not allowed to mention my return to anyone, what about Madame?" he just habitually asked, and the person had already walked towards the room, and the two guards only reacted when they were long gone, and murmured, "Madame is in the room......"

When Xiao Jingzhi pushed the door in, Zhou Jinhuan was leaning on the side of the bed, staring blankly ahead, and when he heard the movement, he only glanced at it symbolically, and immediately turned his head around, but ...... Wait, who is that person, is he hallucinating?

She swallowed nervously, her eyes closed slightly, shook her head slightly, her eyes widened, she turned her head to look at the person at the door, and bit her lower lip fiercely: It hurts, is it true?

It was as if someone had enchanted her, and her heart was beating so fast that she couldn't bear it, but she couldn't move, she just sat on the edge of the bed, unable to move.

"Why don't you know your husband?" After a long absence, his voice, her tears flowed out at once, he walked up to her in a few steps, and stretched out his hand to wipe her tears: "Are you okay in the days I have been away?"

His words made all her bad emotions explode, and she threw herself into his arms at once, and all the fears for a few days poured out: "It's not good, it's not good, it's not good at all, you went to Zhangzhou City and left me here, I'm really scared......"

"Silly madam, am I not here?" kissed her lightly, and his heart ached: fortunately he came, fortunately he came in time, and it was rare to see her so frightened......

"Is it okay over there in Zhangzhou?" I don't know how long she was tired of being in his arms, she finally raised her head and asked a very critical question, he hesitated for a moment, and then said firmly: "Naturally, it's all right." ”

Now is not the time for children to be in love, Zhou Jinhuan talked about the situation in Shuozhou in detail, he had already heard these words, so he just looked at her face, and didn't listen to anything, she also found his running spirit, and gently pinched his face: "When is it, what have you been staring at me all the time, don't you know that those Xianbei cavalry are simply a group of fierce beasts......"

Before she finished speaking, he hugged her into his arms again and sniffed her carefully: "I'm right next to you, don't be afraid, I heard all these things on the way back, you haven't had a good rest for a long time, right?"

In his absence, she really couldn't even sleep.

"Okay, you're right by my side. She was lying on the bed, her hand still holding his, and he held her hand and exclaimed, "Okay, I'm right here." ”

It was the most restful day she slept on since he left.

"Xiao Madara, you go to the barracks and invite General Zhang and General Hei to come. "He came back, but secretly, and there were things he could only tell to the people he trusted most.

Before Zhang Zilang and Hei Asan came, he sat on the edge of the bed and watched Zhou Jinhuan rest, she has always slept very lightly, and she has a lot of thoughts, and she doesn't know how she survived these days.

"General, the people are coming. ”

Xiao Madara's voice sounded outside, Xiao Jingzhi put down the veil, pushed the screen to the bed, and went to open the door.

"General Xiao, why are you back?"

"Brother Xiao, why are you back?"

The words of the two were exactly the same, it was obvious that they knew that the war in Zhangzhou was not over, so he invited the two into the room and raised his chin at the screen: "Tell me, how is the current war and how long can it last?"

Zhang Zilang and Hei Asan looked at each other, their faces were ugly.

That said, the situation is critical.

"What I want you to do now is to boost the morale of the soldiers in the barracks, and you can use both silver and military rank. After speaking, he took out a lot of gold from his baggage, and without waiting for them to ask, he immediately spoke: "Don't ask anything else, the important thing is that in the face of the Xianbei cavalry, what we have to do is to break the cauldron and fight against the water, only those who retreat will be killed, and we can't be soft, understand?!"

Although Xiao Jingzhi is a general, he has an excellent relationship with Zhang Zilang and Hei Ah San, and the three of them rarely have a difference between respect and inferiority, and now that he is speaking so seriously, both of them are suppressed, and even Hei Ah San, who has always called him "Brother Xiao", nodded obediently.

"The survival of Shuozhou City is here, both of you go to the barracks, we now want an iron army, an iron army that can only advance and not retreat!"

The two nodded and exited the room, Hei Asan touched the sweat on his head: "That kid is obviously so much younger than me, and his appearance is still not like fireworks in the world, how can he have such ruthless and fierce eyes, I, a big rascal, can't stand it!"

"I think General Xiao is right, our army must have an iron will, and we can only advance and not retreat, otherwise this Shuozhou city is afraid that it will really be destroyed. Zhang Zilang repeated Xiao Jingzhi's words, full of admiration.

The barracks are waiting for them to bring a bloody storm.

Xiao Jingzhi in the room returned to the bedside, his wife was still sleeping soundly, he kissed her lips, rolled up his sleeves, and went to the kitchen.

I haven't slept so peacefully for a long time, Zhou Jinhuan woke up and began to look for Xiao Jingzhi: He said that he would be by her side, why did he disappear when he woke up?

As soon as she pushed open the door, she saw Xiao Jingzhi standing outside with a bowl in his hand, and she gently pushed him: "Where have you been?"

"I see that you sleep soundly, and when you wake up, you will probably be hungry, so I will make porridge for you. He brought the bowl to her, and her eyes lit up at once: "Don't say, I'm really hungry, what kind of porridge is this, it smells so good!"

"It was also a coincidence that I learned the craft from an old woman in Zhangzhou City a few days ago, called Qimei porridge, and said that the husband and wife who ate this porridge would be together for a lifetime. He wasn't lying, it was all true, I was afraid that she wouldn't believe it and continued: "Many couples in Zhangzhou City drink this kind of eyebrow porridge, but the recipe of each family is different......

"So, who have you drunk this porridge with my good husband?" Her sly eyes made him want to laugh a little, and he raised his hand and said, "I promise, except for the old woman who taught me to make porridge, I only drink this porridge with my wife, and I will only drink it with my wife for the rest of my life." ”

"That's what it sounds like. When the moon rose quietly, the two of them sat under the moon, and he whispered to her: "Jinhuan, this Shuozhou City is not healthy, I am responsible, you have a good rest, I promise to come back within seven days, okay?"
