Ouyang Huaiyu stood not far away, standing with his hands in his hands and looking at the soldiers who were eating, seeing them eating the food sent by the people, chatting with a smile on their faces, Ouyang Huaiyu only felt that the fatigue of the past few days was nothing. Thinking of the words of the common people, Ouyang Huaiyu smiled with relief, and then did not step forward, but turned around and went back to the tent.

As night fell, the soldiers who had escorted a few civilians back to the city returned. "Tell the prince, several ordinary people have been successfully escorted back." The soldiers who had completed the escort reported to Ouyang Huaiyu. Ouyang Huaiyu nodded, "Are the people in the city okay?" ”

"Back to the prince, the people in the city are still living a decent life, but for Luo Licheng becoming the emperor, the people are disappointed, and a few people were killed by Luo Licheng to make an example of the monkey." The soldiers explained the news they had found in the city to Ouyang Huaiyu one by one.

"Heh, Luo Li's results are really good, but how can those who are unpopular win the world. He, the self-proclaimed emperor, will definitely not be able to do it for long. After listening to the soldier's report, Ouyang Huaiyu felt angry when he thought of Luo Licheng's sinister villain, and he also smiled sarcastically.

"Lord Wang, there is still something to be reported by his subordinates." The soldier bowed his head and continued. "You get up first, don't be polite, just say something." When Ouyang Huaiyu heard the soldier's words, he instantly became serious, and he was no longer sitting, but still standing up.

"Lord Wang, when my subordinates came back, we met an old man who was about to faint from hunger, and we gave the old man some military rations that we had brought with us, and the old man was very grateful and told us a hole in the wall that could lead to the city without being discovered." The soldier got up and slowly explained the matter.

Ouyang Huaiyu was a little pleased when he heard the soldier's words: "Oh? There is a hole in the wall that leads to the city from being discovered? Is it true? "Lord Wang, a few of my subordinates came back from the hole in the wall, and I inquired about it, and there was wasteland nearby, and few people passed by, and we also found out that the old man was just a poor person who lost her son in her old age, and it wouldn't be sent by Luo Licheng."

Ouyang Huaiyu nodded, stood in place and didn't speak, thought for a while and then secretly made a decision, and then spoke: "Well, I know everything, you guys have worked hard today, go back and rest first, don't make a noise about the hole in the wall, I have my own plans." ”

"It's the prince!" Several soldiers then retreated, and Ouyang Huaiyu was the only one left in the tent. And Ouyang Huaiyu had just decided to go to the city to investigate the information, and he didn't plan to let Xia Zhixue know, he was worried that she would follow him after she found out. It's too dangerous, he doesn't want to see her hurt, he just wants her to live in peace and happiness.

Ouyang Huaiyu thought about it, walked out of the tent camp, came to a nearby grass and sat down, thinking of the things of these days, thinking of the words of the people today and the words of the soldiers, his heart was quite complicated.

At this time, Xia Zhixue looked for him in Ouyang Huaiyu's tent, but he didn't find him, and finally saw a familiar shadow in the nearby meadow. Xia Zhixue looked at the tall back, and suddenly felt a little lonely, she walked back and got a cloak and a pot of wine, and walked behind Ouyang Huaiyu.

Ouyang Huaiyu only felt a weight behind him, and when he turned his head, he saw Xia Zhixue with a smile on his face. "Oh, for you!" Xia Zhixue handed a warm pot of wine to Ouyang Huaiyu, and then sat down beside Ouyang Huaiyu.

"Why are you here?" Ouyang Huaiyu took the pot of warm wine, and pinched Xia Zhixue's little face with a slightly calloused hand.

Xia Zhixue, who was pinched in the face, was not annoyed, but just hugged Ouyang Huaiyu's arm and rubbed it, and said with a smile: "I went to your tent and didn't find you, but later I saw you here, thinking that it was cold, so I found a blanket for you, and warmed the pot of wine by the way." Sitting here alone, but what's the matter? ”

Ouyang Huaiyu shook his head, felt warm after taking a sip of wine, looked up at the starry sky, and said with some melancholy: "A few people secretly sent us a few bags of grain today, I promised them that they would definitely win this war, I was just afraid that I would break my promise." ”

Xia Zhixue leaned on Ouyang Huaiyu, naturally she also heard the worry in his voice, and comforted Wen Sheng: "It's okay, I believe you, in this battle, Luo Licheng has lost the hearts of the people, and you will definitely protect this country for the people and the emperor." "Celestials

Ouyang Huaiyu only felt a warmth in his heart, and lowered his eyes to look at the starry eyes that were also looking at him, and at this moment, the two pairs of eyes were facing each other, reflecting each other's appearance. How nice it would be if time were frozen in this moment.

Ouyang Huaiyu tore off a thin and slender willow leaf from the willow tree on the side, sat down and played the little song that he played with his brothers and sisters when he was a child, while Xia Zhixue half leaned on one of Ouyang Huaiyu's half-erect legs, listened to the quiet and comfortable song, squinted his eyes and fell asleep unconsciously.

After Ouyang Huaiyu saw that Xia Zhixue was coaxed to sleep, he took off the cloak covering him and put it on Xia Zhixue. A pot of sake was on his side, but at this time, he was in no mood to drink when he thought about the meeting.

Then he carried Xia Zhixue back to the tent. Ouyang Huaiyu sat on the edge of the bed, looking at her quiet sleeping face, he felt even more that he couldn't let Xia Zhixue know.

Ouyang Huaiyu brushed a strand of Xia Zhixue's hanging hair behind his ear, and then left after a while. Ouyang Huaiyu came to the tent of an adjutant general and briefly told him what the soldiers said about the hole in the wall today, "You and I will quickly go out of the city now to find out the information." ”

"Yes, Lord Wang!" Then the two of them dressed up in disguise, and according to the route told by the soldier, they really found a hole in the wall.

"Lord Wang, there really is a hole in the wall about the height of a man here." The lieutenant pushed aside the weeds, lowered his voice, and said with some joy.

Ouyang Huaiyu looked around and nodded: "This wall hole should have been abandoned, and the surrounding weeds are growing luxuriantly, covering this wall hole, and it is normal that no one cares about it." ”

Then Ouyang Huaiyu and the adjutant general came to the city and lay on their stomachs on a hill not far from Luo Licheng's military camp, probing the military situation.

"Lord Wang, it seems that there are not many soldiers on their patrol." The adjutant general said as he looked at the soldiers walking not far away.

"Well, it should be like two or three teams, but it's better to observe for a while, be cautious, and avoid falling into the enemy's trap." Ouyang Huaiyu was very cautious and did not dare to make the slightest mistake.

After observing for a long time, I found that the soldiers in the barracks were asleep, and the soldiers on patrol were also a little tired. Ouyang Huaiyu whispered something to the lieutenant, and then the lieutenant nodded, stepped back cautiously and ran.

After a while, the adjutant general found a large handful of torches that could be lit out of nowhere, "Lord Wang, the subordinates have found what you want." ”

Ouyang Huaiyu nodded with satisfaction, then lit the torch and threw it into the haystack in the barracks, which ignited instantly.

The soldiers who found it on fire ran in a panic to fetch water to put out the fire: "The water is gone!" Walk the water! ”

The soldiers who were sleeping in the tent and heard the screams also got up to put out the fire, and no one noticed that Ouyang Huaiyu was watching their actions.
