Chapter Eighty-Eight: Awakening
"Hamza didn't die, but he was seriously wounded, almost died, his army was leaderless, and the army was in turmoil, my father seized the opportunity to beat the water dogs, more than half of the Jin army was killed and wounded, and finally we beat the army and withdrew."
Hearing that Hamza was not dead, Zhang Xiaochi felt very sorry in his heart, but when he heard that Jin Guo had withdrawn his troops, the joy in his heart immediately made up for his regret.
"After this battle, the army of Hamza, a militant element, was greatly damaged, and even he himself had to recuperate for at least half a year to recover, and calculated, there was at least a year of peace on the border."
"In this battle, you have made great contributions!"
"Brother Zhao, this is the result of everyone's efforts, and my role in it is minimal."
Zhang Xiaochi replied.
After speaking, Zhang Xiaochi suddenly thought of the members who went to attack the valley, so he asked.
"What happened to the brothers who went to attack the grain and grass of the Jin Kingdom?"
Zhao Qiankun sighed and explained that of the eighteen brothers, fifteen of them stayed on that battlefield forever, and they could have lived more, but in order to buy more time for Zhang Xiaochi and the others, everyone chose to resist.
Hearing this, Zhang Xiaochi also sighed, if it weren't for the desperate efforts to attack the brothers who were heavy on grain and grass, he and Zhao Qiankun would definitely be dead or alive.
Thinking of this, Zhang Xiaochi thought of another person, so he hurriedly asked.
"Brother Zhao, where is that Duanmu Yunze?"
"He survived, but with a broken arm."
"This kid has now understood that going back to Jin Country is a dead end, so he decided to settle in our Dayue Kingdom, and I arranged for him to be in Qingwa Town."
Zhang Xiaochi nodded slightly, to be honest, this kid can be regarded as a great help to him without knowing it, and it is also meritorious for the entire Dayue Kingdom.
After saying this, Zhang Xiaochi already felt very tired, and he began to gasp.
Seeing that Zhang Xiaochi was unwell, Zhao Qiankun gave himself a slap and scolded.
"It's all my fault, you're still so weak now, I shouldn't have said so much to you."
"Xiaochi, take care of your injuries, don't think about anything else."
"By the way, how long has it been since the day of the mission?"
Zhang Xiaochi asked.
"It's been half a month."
Zhang Xiaochi smiled and squeezed out a smile and said seriously.
"Brother Zhao, don't let Xiaoxi know the news of my accident, I'm afraid she will worry."
"Okay."
Zhao Qiankun hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded in agreement, he told Zhang Xiaochi a few words, and then got up and left the camp.
Glancing at the direction of the door, Zhang Xiaochi came back to his senses and looked at the ceiling of the tent, and was very shocked.
Others don't know, but he knows very well that his situation at that time has run out of oil and dried up, and in that case, he can actually pick up a life, is this some additional benefit brought by the crossing?
He can think like this, in fact, it is not without basis, for example, after crossing over, his physical fitness far surpasses others, and the strength of one person is at least greater than the strength of two strong men, and the ability to sense his facial features has also improved a lot.
"Do I have another skill that has the same tenacious life as Xiaoqiang?"
Thinking of this, Zhang Xiaochi raised his arm and took a look, and found that the wound on his left arm that could see the bone had all healed at this time, if it weren't for the many hideous scars on his arm, even he couldn't believe that he had been so badly injured.
"Probably not, if you really have this skill, won't you be said to be hanging?"
Zhang Xiaochi began to doubt again, after all, when he was in a coma, he didn't know what medicine others had given him.
He really wanted to call Zhao Qiankun in to understand the situation, but he was very weak at this time, and his upper and lower eyelids began to fight, so he could only put this idea on hold for the time being.
……
Time passed, and soon, it was already the first month that Zhang Xiaochi had been recuperating in the camp, and after such a long time of recuperation, he was already able to walk on the ground.
During this time, Zhang Xiaochi's recovery speed shocked everyone, such a serious injury, it was unheard of to be able to walk on the ground in such a short time.
After such a long time, Zhang Xiaochi has also learned that his recovery so quickly is not due to drugs at all, but all by his own recovery ability.
Not only that, but the hideous scars crisscrossing his body have gradually faded over time.
In the camp, Zhao Qiankun acted as Zhang Xiaochi's communication tool, and the news that the soldiers had inquired about Lin Xiaoxi in Qingwa Town was relayed by Zhao Qiankun to Zhang Xiaochi.
It is said that Lin Xiaoxi has now made very delicious rice wine, and the sales volume is no worse than Zhang Xiaochi's wine.
In other words, although Chixi Restaurant has not opened fire for a long time, the business is even better than before.
Knowing that Lin Xiaoxi was doing well, Zhang Xiaochi was also more at ease to recuperate, which was also an important factor in his quick recovery.
During this time, Duanmu Yunze, who settled in Qingwa Town, came to see him, and after this guy saw Zhang Xiaochi who woke up for the first time, he directly scolded Zhang Xiaochi for ruining his life and forcing him to become a traitor to the Jin Kingdom.
Zhang Xiaochi also accepted Duanmu Yunze's complaints calmly, after all, it was indeed he who forced him to commit treason.
"Major General, good news, good news!"
Just when Zhang Xiaochi and Zhao Qiankun were discussing Duanmu Yunze, a soldier rushed into the camp tent excitedly.
"What's the good news?"
"News has come from the capital, this time to repel Hamza, the emperor is happy, and he wants to reward the general."
"Oh, it's not new news."
Zhao Qiankun naturally waved his hand, intending to let the soldiers leave, after all, it is normal to be rewarded for winning battles.
"Major General, there is one more good news!"
"Say."
"The emperor has already promised Zhang Gongzi's request, and from today onwards, Zhang Gongzi will be a first-class baron."
As soon as he heard this, Zhang Xiaochi didn't react, and Zhao Qiankun suddenly jumped up excitedly.
"Is there a fief?"
"There is a knighthood, no fiefdom, everything is done according to the needs of Zhang Gongzi."
"Brother Zhao, I don't want a fiefdom, just ask for an identity."
Zhang Xiaochi hurriedly said.
"The subordinates will retire first."
When the soldiers left, Zhao Qiankun said with some regret.
"Xiaochi, in fact, with your merits, even if you want a fief, the emperor will give it."
Zhang Xiaochi smiled and said seriously.
"Brother Zhao, I am already very satisfied with this identity, and I don't dare to ask for too much."
Zhang Xiaochi is telling the truth, he only asks for an identity, as for the fief or something, he is not interested at all, he now has a noble status, even if some people want to plot against him, they have to weigh it.
And, with this layer of identity, it will be much more convenient to do a lot of things in the future.
In conclusion, the benefits are endless.
