drove away Zhou Kong and others, Zhang Xiaochi did not go back to the restaurant, he moved a reclining chair from the city tower and chose a cool place to sit and wait.

Before, he secretly praised these children of the family for their backbone, but today's Zhou Kong's behavior told him that not all the children of the family are not afraid of death.

When someone finds out that Zhou Kong is a deserter, the psychological defense line will collapse, and they will also think about being a deserter.

Of course, Zhang Xiaochi didn't believe that Zhou Kong would return to the battlefield after leaving, since he could take his subordinates as deserters, he would definitely be able to do other things out of the ordinary, such as hiding somewhere, and then waiting for the opportunity to sneak into Qingwa Town.

Sure enough, after an hour or so, Zhang Xiaochi, who was resting, was reminded by the soldiers defending the city that there were cavalry on the other side of the Shuangzhu River.

Got up from the chaise longue and came to the top of the city gate to look across the Shuangzhu River, and sure enough, a group of cavalry appeared again, but this time the number was much smaller than that of Zhou Kong.

"Who's coming?"

"On the orders of General Zhao, I came to deliver supplies."

Hearing this answer, he looked at the other party again, and saw that the face of the person who spoke was normal, and Zhang Xiaochi suddenly had some doubts in his heart, aren't these people deserters?

"Is there a warrant?"

Zhang Xiaochi asked.

"This is General Zhao's token."

The voice fell, and the person who spoke took out a black iron token from his arms, although it was a distance away, Zhang Xiaochi had a keen eyesight, and he recognized the Zhao character engraved on the token at a glance.

"It's true."

"Lower the drawbridge."

After confirming the authenticity of the token, Zhang Xiaochi issued a release order.

Under the manipulation of man, the drawbridge was slowly lowered, and Zhang Xiaochi came to the city wall and opened the city gate in person.

"Zhang Gongzi, this is the letter that the major general asked me to give you."

The leader came to the city gate, jumped off his horse, and took out a letter from his bosom and handed it to Zhang Xiaochi.

"Thank you."

"Zhang Gongzi is polite, if there is nothing else, I will leave first."

"Okay."

After they passed, Zhang Xiaochi returned to the city wall, asked the soldiers to pull the drawbridge up, and then lay on the chaise longue and opened the envelope.

After looking at the handwriting, it was indeed Zhao Qiankun's handwriting, and after confirming the handwriting and reading the whole content, Zhang Xiaochi's face was a little unsightly.

The battle situation on the front line is becoming more and more tight, especially yesterday, the grain and grass on the side of Dayue Country was successfully attacked by a small group of soldiers of Jin State, although the rescue was timely, but more than half of it was burned.

No matter what time it is, grain and grass are the foundation of an army, and now more than half of them are gone, which directly affects the morale of the army.

Because the morale of the Da Viet side was hit, in an encounter this morning, the Jin State won a crushing victory, so that the Da Viet side had to abandon its original position.

Zhang Xiaochi's face was solemn, how many days have it been, I didn't expect that my own situation on the front line would be so weak.

Qingwa Town is not far from the border, and if you retreat again and again, I am afraid that a battle to defend the city will really be staged at that time.

Looking at the direction of the border, Zhang Xiaochi was full of worries, and after ten minutes, the expression on his face became firm.

"You are optimistic about the city gate, I haven't come back, unless General Zhang is here in person, no one is allowed to open the door!"

"Got it?"

"Yes!"

gave the order, and Zhang Xiaochi returned to Chixi Restaurant as fast as possible.

At this time, there were only a few customers dining in Chixi Restaurant, and since the war, the restaurant has almost become a place to sell alcohol.

"Xiaochi, aren't you going to guard the city gate?"

"Why did you come back at this time?"

Seeing Zhang Xiaochi coming in, the second aunt hurriedly poured him a cup of tea and asked curiously.

"Second aunt, Xiaoxi is in the backyard, right?"

Zhang Xiaochi did not answer directly, but asked rhetorically.

"Yes."

"Second aunt, you can go to the backyard with me."

After speaking, Zhang Xiaochi didn't explain, and went directly to the backyard to find Lin Xiaoxi, who was playing chess with Lin Songyang.

"Xiaoxi, Dad, you guys play chess."

"Husband, you're back!"

"Come on, come and play chess with my father, I can't play his old man."

Seeing Zhang Xiaochi, Lin Xiaoxi had a soft smile on her face, and she quickly got up to get out of the way.

"No, I'm coming back to tell you something."

Zhang Xiaochi replied.

Lin Xiaoxi froze for a moment, and then, she had a bad premonition in her heart, and her face became a little unsightly, she could feel what Zhang Xiaochi wanted to express.

"Xiaochi, what are you going to say?"

The second aunt asked curiously.

"The situation on the front line is tight, and I plan to help."

Zhang Xiaochi coughed, and then replied solemnly.

As soon as these words came out, the backyard immediately fell silent, and everyone looked at him.

"Xiaochi, you're not joking, are you?"

The first to speak was the second aunt, in her understanding, Zhang Xiaochi had sacrificed a lot for the Great Yue Kingdom, and at this time he should enjoy life at home, but now he actually has to go to the battlefield.

"Xiaochi, haven't you been there once before?"

"Why do you want to go?"

Lin Songyang also hurriedly asked.

"If our hometown is not on the border, I can not go, but now that the border situation is tight, once Brother Zhao and them are defeated, our Qingwa Town will definitely be the first to suffer."

"Moreover, Wagang Village is still outside the city walls of Qingwa Town!"

"I don't want Wagang Village to become an uninhabited village."

"But ......"

Lin Songyang wanted to say something, but when he turned his head and found that Lin Xiaoxi hadn't spoken, he poked her arm with his hand and reminded.

"Xiaoxi, why don't you persuade Xiaochi?"

"Dad, since my husband chose to come back and tell us, he must have made a decision."

Lin Xiaoxi's eyes fell on Zhang Xiaochi, her beautiful eyes were gentle like water, but they contained infinite worries.

"Brother Zhang, are you really going to war?"

Zhao Ling'er asked seriously.

"Yes."

"Brother Zhang, can I ask you something?"

"Say."

"Dad and eldest brother are both fighting on the border, Brother Zhang, you are good, can you help protect them?"

Zhao Ling'er said with some embarrassment.

"Silly girl, if you don't say this, I will do my best to protect them!"

Zhang Xiaochi replied with a smile.

Zhao Ling'er was overjoyed, looked up at Zhang Xiaochi, and said in a low voice.

"Of course, Brother Zhang, you also have to pay attention to your own safety and do what you can."

"Thank you."

Zhang Xiaochi smiled slightly, his eyes fell on Lin Xiaoxi, and he couldn't help but say softly.

"Xiaoxi, if I'm not here, I'll trouble you at home!"

"Don't worry, I will take care of the house, and we will all be waiting for you at home."

Lin Xiaoxi replied seriously.

"Okay."

Zhang Xiaochi nodded seriously, although Lin Xiaoxi was very calm on the surface, he could see from Lin Xiaoxi's eyes that this girl had a thousand words and reluctance in her heart.
