Zhou Kong's face darkened, he understood what Zhang Xiaochi meant, it was nothing more than to let him return to the battlefield, and now the boat was overturned in the gutter, so he could only obey the other party's will.

"Brother Zhang is for my good, how can he hold a grudge against you."

"It's too late for our Zhou family to thank you."

"Are you telling the truth?"

Zhang Xiaochi asked unhurriedly.

Zhou Kong was about to cry, at this moment he was being carried like a little chicken, not to mention his face, when it was spread, the face of the Zhou family was lost by him.

He just wanted to get back to his freedom as soon as possible and get out of this place that had disgraced him.

As for revenge, he figured it out, with Zhang Xiaochi's strength, there was no way to do it here, only on his own turf could he have a chance to be ashamed.

Of course, all this can only be executed when he returns alive.

"Of course it's true!"

"How dare I deceive you, Brother Zhang!?"

Zhou Kong's face was full of smiles, and his attitude was as humble as he was.

Of course, Zhang Xiaochi also knew that Zhou Kong was just obedient on the surface, but he didn't care, now the border situation is not optimistic, this kid can lead the team back, and he can also add some combat power to his side.

"Okay, then I'll believe you once."

Zhang Xiaochi nodded slightly, turned around calmly after speaking, and made a gesture for the soldiers defending the city to put down the drawbridge, and when the drawbridge was only one meter from the ground, Zhang Xiaochi let go of Zhou Kong and let him jump.

"Gongzi Zhou, I hope to see your heroic demeanor in killing enemies on the battlefield!"

Zhang Xiaochi said with a smile.

Zhou Kong wanted to scold, but he held back, squeezed out a smile and nodded.

"Thanks to Brother Zhang's kindness, I will not disappoint you."

After saying that, Zhou Kong didn't want to stay here any longer, so he turned around and disappeared as fast as he could.

Glancing at the direction in which Zhou Kong left, Zhang Xiaochi ordered the suspension bridge to be raised, and returned to the city wall to meet Lin Xiaoxi.

"Husband, you went to the battlefield, be careful of Zhou Kong, I think he is just superficially soft."

Lin Xiaoxi said solemnly.

"Yes, I'm not going to let my guard down."

"Of course, your man is not a vegetarian, with our skills, even if there is an accident, nothing can leave me."

Zhang Xiaochi replied with a smile, he tried his best to answer in a relaxed tone, just to not worry Lin Xiaoxi, but it didn't seem to have any effect, and the latter still had worry on his face.

Zhang Xiaochi didn't know how to comfort him, so he could only change the topic and try to make Lin Xiaoxi happy.

After his unremitting efforts, after an hour, Lin Xiaoxi finally laughed, but this cheerful time did not last long, and after five or six minutes, a man in a military uniform appeared in his sight.

Zhang Xiaochi has amazing eyesight, and soon found out that this man was Ye Rufeng.

"Brother Zhang, put down the drawbridge."

"Brother Ye, is it up to you to replace me?"

Zhang Xiaochi asked in surprise.

Ye Rufeng smiled bitterly, and then replied in a half-joking tone.

"This is General Zhao's decision, who told me that I can't compare to Brother Zhang!"

Zhang Xiaochi asked people to put down the suspension bridge, and he took Lin Xiaoxi to the city gate to greet him.

"Brother Ye, your words really bury me!"

"Although the city wall is peaceful here, this is our last line of defense, so it must be handed over to a trustworthy person, General Zhao asked you to come to guard the town because he trusted you, otherwise, he would not let you come back."

"Brother Zhang, don't comfort me, it's really important here, but it's because you're stronger than me!"

"Don't be in a hurry to explain, I don't have red eyes, there must be people outside the heavens, and I have always admired those who are stronger than me!"

Ye Rufeng's expression was natural, and it could be seen that what he said was sincere.

Zhang Xiaochi no longer shirked, learned about the border situation with him, and was relieved when he learned that the situation had stabilized again.

"Brother Zhang, Jin Guo came prepared and went to the battlefield, remember not to underestimate the enemy."

"They know that we have a new type of weapon, and they have specially built a batch of shields, and our bow and crossbow advantage is no longer so great."

Hearing this, Zhang Xiaochi's heart moved and he continued to ask.

"Any other news?"

"According to the report from the spies, the actual number of people on the Jin side is 10,000 more than the sum of our side!"

"So much!?"

"Yes, and the extra 10,000 haven't been involved."

Zhang Xiaochi chuckled in his heart, the other party's extra 10,000 did not participate, the battle situation is so stale, once it participates, isn't it powerless to stop the Dayue Kingdom?

"Brother Ye, does General Zhao have any plans?"

"The general has already used the flying pigeon to ask for support, but the recent arrival here will take five or six days to march quickly, and this is not counting the time wasted by the pigeons reporting on the road."

"According to conservative estimates, it will take at least eight days for reinforcements to arrive."

"This is also one of the important reasons why General Zhao agreed to let you replace me."

Ye Rufeng replied with a solemn face.

Being pinned on high hopes, Zhang Xiaochi also felt a trace of pressure, now this situation is indeed very dangerous, if the enemy knows their situation at this time, they will definitely find a way to resolve the battle within eight days.

And now it's all you have to do to hold on.

Lin Xiaoxi's face became more and more solemn, she was very smart, although she was a woman, she immediately understood the danger of her man's death.

"Husband!"

"Xiaoxi, don't worry, wait for my good news at home."

Zhang Xiaochi replied with a smile.

Lin Xiaoxi's delicate little face was still full of worry and reluctance, but she also knew that there were no eggs under the nest, so she could only watch her husband about to go to the front line.

"Husband, I'll wait for you at home."

"Okay."

"I'm not here, it's hard for you to take care of your family."

Zhang Xiaochi hugged her gently, then rode Ye Rufeng's horse and turned to leave.

He didn't dare to stay any longer, first, for fear that he would be reluctant, and secondly, for fear that Lin Xiaoxi would be even more worried after a long time.

Riding on the horse, Zhang Xiaochi did not look back, and soon, he disappeared from Lin Xiaoxi's sight.

"Sister-in-law, Brother Zhang will come back safely."

Ye Rufeng comforted.

"Thank you Ye Gongzi Jiyan, I'll go back first."

Lin Xiaoxi bowed slightly, finally glanced at the direction where Zhang Xiaochi left, turned around and left silently.

Looking at Lin Xiaoxi's back, Ye Rufeng sighed with emotion, although Lin Xiaoxi hid it well, but when she turned around and released her emotions, Ye Rufeng found Lin Xiaoxi's red eyes.

Retracting his gaze, Ye Rufeng turned to look in the direction of the border, and couldn't help muttering to himself.

"Brother Zhang, the task of this trip is arduous, beyond everyone's expectations!"

"I hope you can save the day."

Ye Rufeng sighed, and after coming to the city wall, he ordered the soldiers to raise the drawbridge and closed the city gate.
