The secret guard seemed to struggle for a while, and then knelt down on one knee and solemnly reported: "Now everyone in the army says that the retreat of the Zhou army is just a reinforcement plan, and the other party knows that Tianshui is easy to defend and difficult to attack, so he directly uses the method of death attack and sneak attack, it is said that the Zhou army will have 50,000 soldiers and horses in the past two days, and I am afraid that Tianshui will not be able to hold it at that time." ”

Everyone's faces were all shocked, Tianshui is a city that is easy to defend and difficult to attack here, but once it is breached, the enemy army will drive straight in, and there will be problems in three or four cities such as Changzhou in succession, and then the army's morale will be even more sluggish, and Da Chu Ke will be defeated miserably.

"How can this be, doesn't it mean that there are sufficient preparations, and the hussar general still has a formation?" Shen Xi didn't know much about marching and fighting, and racked his brains to collect available information.

The dark guard was also very indignant on his face: "I don't know what's going on, the other party may have known our strategic plan, so he took a sneak attack, and the next formation has been prepared, but in the face of nearly 100,000 Zhou troops, we are afraid that we will not be able to parry, so ...... Mrs. Lu, come with us. ”

Listening to this tone, it is obvious that it means retreating.

"No way!" Shen Xi didn't want to open his mouth to refuse, Chang Yi and Lu Qingyi definitely wouldn't leave the city, and now they didn't come to her, something must have happened.

Shen Xi really couldn't sit still at this time, his heart was upset, and he couldn't think of a good countermeasure, and his mind was full of the safety of Chang Yi and Lu Qingyi.

She walked up to Fu Chuan in one step and instructed him: "You go to the city now to find Lu Qingyi and the Third Highness, you are bound to protect him and the two of you, if the water is gone, it will be gone, and we will meet in Changzhou." ”

But Fu Chuan immediately retorted, and insisted on it: "I was sent by Gongzi to protect my wife." Although he insisted on his face, the wavering in his eyes had betrayed him, and he glanced at Lin Lin beside him uneasily, the son of a bad man can also do martial arts, it is impossible for him to leave Lin Lin and Shen Xi behind.

And this fact is also obvious, Shen Xi felt that his suggestion was really a bit stupid after speaking.

Lin Lin, who didn't understand the form too well, received Fu Chuan's gaze, only felt that he was a trouble, and after hesitating, he said: "I can't help much here, it's all because I caused you to be like this, and I still have to burden you to protect me, anyway, it's close to Huainan now, otherwise I'll go home." ”

Lin Lin was about to leave as he spoke, but was pulled by Fu Chuan, and the two argued at this time.

The secret guard next to him was irritable when he heard it, and he wanted to disturb it, but because Shen Xi hadn't spoken yet, he had to listen in a muffled voice.

"It's also close to Huainan." After hearing this, Shen Xi kept repeating it, as if something was missing from this news.

"It's close to Huainan, but it's also close to Zhou, do you want to go back and die?" Fu Chuan suddenly drank so much that Lin Lin didn't dare to speak, and tears filled his eyes all of a sudden.

But these words directly woke Shen Xi up, her eyes were shining, and her voice was a little excited and excited: "I have a way." ”

Shen Xi didn't immediately tell Fu Chuan and the dark guard about his method, but told the dark guard to prepare the horse as soon as possible, and they wanted to go out of the city.

"Linlin, how long does it take to get from Tianshui to Huainan?" Shen Xi arranged everything and pulled Lin Lin down to ask carefully, he must implement this matter in the shortest possible time, otherwise it will be too late.

Lin Lin blurted out without thinking: "It only takes an hour, but in the past, in addition to riding a horse, you also needed to take a boat." ”

It turned out that Huainan was south of Huaihai, and it was necessary to bypass navigation from Tianshui and Zhou in the past, which is also the reason why Huainan had not been invaded by the Zhou army. Yoyo Book League

An hour later, Shen Xi arrived safely in Huainan under the escort of Fu Chuan and the secret guards, but Shen Xi did not return to the Lin Mansion, but turned around and went to another dock.

The secret guards didn't want to follow directly, but Fu Chuan and Lin Lin hesitated, not knowing what Shen Xi's calculations were.

When he walked over and listened, it turned out that Shen Xi inquired about which boat was bound for Zhou.

"This lady, what do you think, now all the ships of Chu and Zhou have docked, but even so, many people are still suffering, everyone is avoiding trouble, why are you rushing to Zhou Kingdom!" One of the sailors spoke with great seriousness, and his voice was quite helpless about the matter.

"But is there really no ship that can go to Zhou?" Shen Xi was a little reluctant to listen to the news, but he asked several people one after another, all of which were such a result.

Lin Lin was dissuading Shen Xi on the side, that is, persuading her to go back with her, but Fu Chuan stood up and said solemnly with a face full of solemnity: "I have a way to go to Zhou Kingdom, but you have to tell me your plan first." ”

Fu Chuan's words made Shen Xi stunned, and after thinking about it, he said: "You take me on the boat as soon as possible, and I will listen to you on the boat, otherwise it will be too late." ”

Fu Chuan thought about it and left with two secret guards, and when he returned, he directly took Shen Xi onto a ship that was about to leave.

However, Fu Chuan didn't want to be distracted, and after arranging the boat, he found a place to temporarily settle Lin Lin, and he couldn't take her with him when he went to Zhou to take an adventure.

Although Lin Lin was not at ease, he also knew that he would not be able to help if he followed, so he repeatedly promised that he would take care of himself and wait for them to come back.

On the ship's barn, Shen Xi stood against the wind, the sky at this time had gradually darkened, and the sunset was dyed a blood-red, as if it also reflected the tragedy of the battle between Tianshui and Tianshui.

Fu Chuan followed Shen Xi's side, as if he was listening, Shen Xi turned his head and saw his side face, a good-looking handsome face made Shen Xi laugh: "It is said that troubled times produce red faces, and also blue faces." ”

It was originally a ridiculous sentence, but now it comes out of Shen Xi's mouth, it is all helpless, originally it was the peace of the country and the people, but now I know that once the war starts, it will be a troubled world.

Fu Chuan didn't talk, obviously waiting for other topics, and then Shen Xi spoke: "I don't know if you've heard a story." ”

Shen Xi started her storytelling mode again, but in the process of telling, she felt a little lost, before she could exchange a few silver for a few silver to supplement her family in the bazaar, but now there is only one listener to Fu Chuan, and there is no silver reward.

"Siege Wei to save Zhao." After listening to the story, Fu Chuan repeated the name of the story, his face was very serious, as if he was considering how feasible this matter was.

Shen Xi didn't dare to guarantee in her heart, after all, she didn't know what the strength of the Zhou State was, but now the only thing she could think of was this method, and she only prayed that she could really meet what the ancients said: the mountains and rivers are exhausted, and there is no way out, and the willows and flowers are bright and there is another village.

At the same time, Shen Xi also learned that the ship they were on at this time was the number one Cao gang on the Huaihai Sea, and there must be brave men under the heavy reward, so if nothing else, they would be able to arrive in Zhou in the middle of the night.

In order to ensure that there was enough energy for the future, Shen Xi ordered everyone to take turns to rest and pray to arrive in Zhou Kingdom soon.
