The border pass is not as peaceful and quiet as the princess's mansion.

"General, those wild people have brought wild beasts to capture my border again."

"Ready for battle."

"Yes!"

Xie Zixu stood on the not-so-high city wall and looked at the dust raised by the fierce beasts in the distance, and shook his head helplessly.

"General, there is not enough food and soldiers, I'm afraid I can't hold it."

Xie Zixu closed his eyes and didn't speak, these days, those wild people have been manipulating wild beasts to attack the city.

They barely needed a single soldier, and the walls were so low that the beasts would bite and bite most of the soldiers every time they crossed them, and he didn't want them to retreat to the towering walls.

It's just that the people in the border city would rather live and die with the city, how can he leave thousands of people alone.

Thinking about it, Xie Zixu clenched his fists and asked, "Those people, are you willing to move away?" ”

"General Hui, his subordinates have done their best, they all listen to the old stubborn patriarch, the old patriarch will not die if he does not leave, and I am afraid that no one in this city will retreat with us."

Xie Zixu breathed a long sigh of relief, "Take out our last longboard and guard it." ”

"General, isn't this longboard going to be used again when you retreat?"

"Now is the time to retreat. I'll talk to the old patriarch myself. ”

The yard is full of crops, the walls are lined with various flowers and plants, and there is a towering velvet tree in the center of the yard, which looks like a yard for people who pursue life.

It's a pity that the elder insults came from the yard, "Get out of my yard!" ”

"Patriarch, those wild people are about to capture the city, please let the people in the city retreat."

"I, Huacheng people, are not afraid of death, do things responsibly, and are righteous, you can let Your Majesty promulgate the holy decree to execute us, and my Huacheng patriarch is the first to commit suicide by taking poison."

"Patriarch, no one will execute you, but now, this place really can't live anymore."

"You dog! Why can't we live in your heart? If you hadn't insisted on marrying the demon girl who had brought disaster to the country and the people, how could it have caused a great war! ”

"Patriarch, don't let me hear you say a word of no."

"Look, old man, am I afraid of you? If you hadn't let that witch marry the leader of the group outside, would we have suffered from this war? ”

"You people, what qualifications do you have to let Shu'er marry that wild man for your livelihood!"

"We're not qualified, but do you think the next towering wall will open the gates for you? You are wrong, the emperor will not open, from the moment you promised to guard the frontier for her, the emperor did not plan to let you go back alive! I'm not stubborn, old man, but we're already certain to die, so let's die in our own homeland. ”

"General, it's not good, the longboard can't stand it!"

"Hahaha, I can't stand it! Can't stand it! The old man looked up and sighed like crazy.

"O wife! Don't be afraid, I won't leave you, old man! ”

Xie Zixu savored the old man's words just now in disbelief.

Thinking about it carefully, these days, the emperor does not send troops or food, he can't remember how long he hasn't seen the towering city wall behind him, if it weren't for the princess's help, he probably wouldn't be able to have children with Li Shu.

It's that he trusts his emperor too much.

The old patriarch is actually a poor man who loves his wife and son like him, and it is he who is at fault, boasting about Haikou and letting the emperor marry Shu'er to him, so that there will be these endpoints.

"Adjutant General, call on all soldiers to assemble on the battlefield!"

"Yes!"

On the training ground, all the soldiers were skinless, and they didn't complain for Xie Zixu's promise and for the general's wife to live well in Shengjing, and they were eaten by animals.

Even when Xie Zixu came, he said in unison: "I will follow the general to defend the frontier!" ”

Xie Zixu looked at the sun that was about to set in the sky, as if the hope in his heart was about to fall.

After being silent for a long time, he finally said in a hoarse voice: "The wife of the family is pregnant, come out!" ”

"The new wife in the family, come out!"

"If you have a mother at home, come out!"

Every time Xie Zixu said a word, no one responded.

He picked up the paperwork on the side with some anger and read it aloud: "Wang Jiacheng, why don't you come out if your wife is pregnant?" ”

When the words fell, no one stood up, Xie Zixu looked at the soldiers who were covered in bruises, and smiled bitterly, he forgot, forgot that Wang Jiacheng had already died in the mouth of a hungry wolf, and he had not yet delivered Wang Jiacheng's letter to his wife.

As if they had agreed, the soldiers put the written letters at their feet and said: "We have no regrets about following the general, please fulfill our last wish and send these letters to our hometown!" ”

Xie Zixu also took out a stack of letters in his arms and said, "There are people who are willing to send me letters that I haven't dared to send all these years." ”

As soon as the words fell, the soldier who was sent by Xie Zixu to deliver the letter a few days ago returned to the camp with a token, and said in a hoarse voice: "General, we have no way back to retreat!" ”

The old man was right, he was really stupid, stupid enough to bring his own soldiers to guard this pass for him.

Knowing this, he would rather take the risk of usurping the throne.

The soldier cautiously handed the token to Xie Zixu and said, "The city defender said that a token can only pass one person, and if we are stronger, they don't mind sword killing." ”

Hearing this, everyone bowed their heads and remained silent, the battlefield became quiet, and finally Xie Zixu broke the silence and said: "Since we are here together, we can't go back to Shengjing, why not fight against the water, in case, our wives and children pray for us successfully?" ”

A bright voice sounded on the battlefield again, "Pray for success and drive away the wild people!" ”

Xie Zixu asked the deputy general beside him to put away everyone's letters, "Brothers, I will receive the letters, I will send them when the battle is completed, and I will burn them if I am defeated, so that those people will not get the slightest information about my wife and children!" ”

"I'll wait, General Xie!"

General's Palace

Li Shu surprisingly didn't go to the ancestral hall to worship her ancestors today, her body has been getting heavier and heavier recently, and she doesn't know when she will suddenly give birth, in case the ancestors see blood, it will be a big disrespect.

She carefully sewed the clothes worn by the child, and stroked the child in her belly from time to time and said: "Baby, you have to work hard to be born quickly, and when you are born, your mother can put on armor and go into battle." ”

"Sss Li Shu covered his bleeding fingers in pain, and cried silently, "Xie Zixu, you bastard!" I used to say that I peeled candy for me every day to eat, but now you don't even know that I'm injured! ”

Crying and crying, Li Shu skillfully opened the cabinet, which contained all kinds of small boxes, all of which Xie Zixu had prepared for her, she didn't have to rummage through the boxes and cabinets, just look at the notes posted on the outside of the box to know what was in the box.

After taking care of the wound, Li Shu looked at the gradually mellow moon outside, and said with a smile from the bottom of his heart: "Baby, the emperor has promised me that the full moon will let your father come back and reunite with me once, maybe you haven't been born yet!" Naughty little guy. ”

Li Shu walked to the middle of the courtyard with a big belly and shouted the name of her maid, she wanted to go to the study to see the letter Xie Zixu wrote to her, but when it was dark, she was afraid that something would stumble on the road and hurt the child.
