In the dead of night, Zhou Ziru slowly walked out of the conference hall, stretched his body slightly, and walked towards his room.

After passing through several arches, I was suddenly stopped by a figure in the corner.

"It's really hard to take care of everything every day."

Although Zhou Ziru was tired, he knew as soon as he heard it that this was clearly the voice of Yi Xiaodao!

"Huh? You woke up, how are your injuries? Zhou Ziru smiled and walked towards Yi Xiaodao.

"Stop! Are you plotting with the king of the Northland to abandon and return to the city? ”

Zhou Ziru was slightly stunned, frowned and said, "Yes, how did you know about what I discussed today?" ”

"Returning to the city is where the foundation of the kings of the north is located, if you abandon the city and return to the city, what will the king of the north do? What about the people of the Northland? ”

Zhou Ziru narrowed his eyes and looked into the darkness, he only felt that something was wrong with Yi Xiaodao today.

"You are not Wu Dinggong, what are you!"

Zhou Ziru took two steps back slightly, coughed twice, and in the dark shadow behind him, the spear and the knife crossed the sea and rushed towards Yi Xiaodao.

"Bell, bell!"

Yi Xiaodao also flashed two people around him, it was Qin Xiangqian and Man Yong, the four of them fought for a short time, and neither side took advantage of it and retreated to the side.

Zhou Ziru naturally knew Qin Xiangqian and Man Yong, and when he was suspicious in his heart, another shadow rushed towards Yi Xiaodao.

"It's really you!"

Jian Liuyun recognized the person in the shadows at a glance, it was not Yi Xiaodao, but He Yue'er. The two had spent some time together on the lonely mountain outside Anhui City before, and they were very familiar with each other.

"Why are you demolishing me..."Yi Xiaodao came out of the shadows, and it was really not the deity, but He Yue'er.

Zhou Ziru patted his head: "It scared me, I forgot that Miss Yue'er would imitate other people's voices." I wonder how Wu Dinggong is now? ”

He Yue'er shook her head: "Still unconscious." I don't know what to do..."

"Miss Yue'er, don't bother too much, everything has its own cause and effect, and the people of Wuding Gongji have their own natural appearance, and they will get better." Zhou Ziru said that he was about to leave.

He Yue'er hurriedly grabbed a few steps to stop Zhou Ziru, because he was an acquaintance, the gun and the knife did not stop him.

"Zhou... Zhou Xiang, I heard that you are going to give up and return to the city? This won't work! ”

"Why not?" Zhou Ziru was a little curious.

He Yue'er lowered her eyes and said, "Xiaodao has been running around all these years, maybe for gold and silver, official position, or even for me. But I know that in fact, the most important thing in his heart is the people. ”

"We are all poor people, especially Yi Xiaodao, who used to beg in Wancheng for a living, and have seen too many folk suffering..."

Zhou Ziru laughed at himself: "Heh... Yes, I was born into the Zhou family in the capital, with fine clothes and fine food, but I have never suffered any hardships or sins..."

He Yue'er shook her head: "Zhou Xiang, don't be careful, I didn't mean that." I mean... If Yi Xiaodao wakes up and finds that Guicheng has been abandoned by us, he will definitely not be able to stand it! ”

"I don't want him to fall into self-blame day and night, and I ask Zhou Xiang to think of another way to save and return to the city!"

Zhou Ziru looked at He Yue'er steadily, and saw that the man on the side was suspicious of Qin Xiang's move to the capital, and he stepped forward to block He Yue'er behind him.

"Miss Yue'er, I really don't love the people. I am the literary minister of Daqi, and I just want to protect Daqi. ”

"But you must know that the great apocalypse is made up of thousands of people! How can we ignore the lives and deaths of the people? ”

Zhou Ziru waved his hand and said: "It's not that we don't care, if we return to the south, we will take away the people who returned to the city, and the Yue'er girl can rest assured." ”

"But..."

He Yue'er still wanted to say something, but Zhou Ziru waved her hand and said, "Miss Yue'er, I also know that Wu Dinggong has a deep affection for you. But with all due respect to Zhou's bluntness, this kind of family and country affairs is not something that you can mix with as a woman, so let's wait for Wu Dinggong to wake up before making a decision. ”

With that, he turned and left.

Spear Yinjiao and Dao Henghai followed Zhou Ziru and left, Jian Liuyun stepped forward and said with a smile: "Do you still care about the return to the city?" Why don't you go back and guard your little lover? ”

He Yue'er glanced at her, and Jian Liuyun smiled: "Don't worry, the master is not the kind of person who is not close to people, you still care about Wu Dinggong." I'll go first, I'll tell you what's going on the master's side in time! ”

After Jian Liuyun left, Man Yong said with a disgruntled face: "Master, this Zhou Xiang is too arrogant, do you want me to clean him up!" ”

Qin Xiangqian tapped on his head: "Don't be ashamed!" Don't look at the fact that we were able to stop them just now, it was a dead hand on the other side! If you really fight, you can't deal with any of those women! ”

Qin Xiangqian also spoke a little more in front of Man Yong.

He Yue'er sighed: "I don't want to let Xiaodao's hard work go to waste, but they are right, these big things are not for me to worry about, go back." ”

As the days passed, the soldiers and horses in the city were busy moving back and forth, and the people knew that there would be war, and more and more people fled and returned to the city.

But He Yue'er and them, even including Li Dingxing, didn't know what Zhou Ziru was doing, they only knew that soldiers and horses were running back and forth every day, and everyone was busy.

"Report, Lord Wang, the Beiyi army has occupied the city of rejection, and it will be possible to reach the city in three days at the earliest!"

The King of the Northland and Zhou Ziru glanced at each other, and both of them had some deep worries in their eyes, which came too quickly...

"Zhou Xiang, what do you think is good now?" The king of the North Land had no idea, he just wanted to hear Zhou Ziru's opinion.

Zhou Ziru frowned: "Since the Beiyi army is here, we can't run away from the wind, we have to send someone to defeat the last game, so that the play can be done enough..."

"I'm going to send someone to go around the rear, pretend to sneak up on the baggage behind the other party, and then defeat. If you return to the city and leave some men and horses to resist, you will definitely be able to lure Beiyi to the bait. ”

"Three days, the time is just right, we will evacuate and return to the city now."

The King of the Northland nodded and said, "If it is a sneak attack, I still have a few fierce generals under me..."

"Killing chickens with a knife? The fierce generals under the prince should stay and ambush Beiyi! One person said loudly outside the door: "The last general is not talented, I am willing to take the initiative to ask for help and frustrate the enemy's spirit!" ”

Zhou Ziru lowered his eyebrows: "Is there a place for you to speak?" ”

"Uh... Zhou Xiang was angry. The person who came stood outside the door, not daring to speak, but after speaking, he also laughed.

The king of the Northland looked at the visitor, young and heroic, with a glint in his eyes, and a very energetic look, and asked, "Who is this?" ”

The people outside the door didn't dare to answer, so Zhou Ziru had to reply: "Daqi general, Xiao Kuan." ”

"Ah, this king has heard that General Xiao only led three thousand cavalry soldiers to kick nine cities in Chu Xiang in a row? What a hero! The king of the Northland looked at Xiao Kuan's eyes outside the door, full of appreciation.

Xiao Kuan grinned and said, "The prince praised it falsely. ”

"Xiao Kuan, you also heard the conversation I had with the prince just now, do you dare to go to this battle?"

"I can't ask for it! I Xiao Kuan don't ask for anything else, but I want to be famous all over the world and leave a name in history! ”

The King of the Northland was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help laughing: "General Xiao is really fast-talking, and he doesn't hide fame and fortune, and it's the first time I've seen such a straightforward person." ”

"Zhou Xiang, Lord Wang, time is pressing, or... The last general is going to get ready to go? "Xiao Kuan is an anxious person, I can't wait.

Zhou Ziru said slowly: "Xiao Kuan, listen well. This time it's not like before, out of this return to the city, outside the plug, there are enemies everywhere, have you thought clearly? ”

When Xiao Kuan heard this, he put away his playful appearance, stood with a serious face for a while, and finally couldn't hold back, and chuckled: "Ha, Zhou Xiang, I am a martial artist, a martial artist, a horse leather shroud..."

"Okay, then you can go." Zhou Ziru nodded in response.

Seeing Xiao Kuan turn around and leave, the king of the north did not hesitate at all, and sighed slightly: "Good general! It's a shame to use it like that..."

Zhou Ziru was silent for a while, and said, "Apart from him, I don't have any other suitable candidates for a while. ”

Xiao Kuan, who was walking in the palace, did not squint, walked faster and faster, and almost trotted out of the palace. The moment he left the palace, the side door turned Qin Xiangqian and Man Yong, and the two were returning from martial arts.

Several people staggered through the door and did not see each other.

Out of the palace, Xiao Kuan looked south, and was a little melancholy: "Brother Qin, I don't know where you are... I'm the only one this time..."After speaking, he stepped on his horse and headed for the north gate.

Qin Xiangqian, who was in the palace, had just walked a few steps, and suddenly stopped, listening to the sound of horses' hooves outside the door, and was a little distracted.

"Brother Qin, what's wrong?" Man Yong asked curiously.

Qin Xiangqian smiled and said, "It's okay, who dares to ride a horse outside the palace?" ”

"Horseback riding, yes! Brother Qin, can you teach me how to ride a horse if you are free? Didn't you say that in Chuxiang back then, you kicked nine cities in a row? That's so handsome, too! ”

"That's right! Nine! There was another person at the time, and that guy was pretty good..."

The two of them were in the palace, talking and walking, and gradually disappeared into the depths of the palace...

Return to the city, north gate.

The five thousand cavalry were already ready to go, each armed with a spear, carrying a bow on his shoulder, a knife at his waist, and a dagger in his legs, just waiting for the arrival of the main general.

Xiao Kuan galloped wildly, saw everyone, jumped lightly from the war horse, and immediately a soldier led him to a stronger war horse to change.

Xiao Kuan looked at the group of horsemen in front of him and asked, "Do you know what we're going to do?" ”

The horsemen looked at each other, but none of them answered.

In fact, they know that they are all excellent cavalry soldiers selected by various armies, how can they not know about this battle? Everyone wrote a letter to their families and handed it over to the army. Zhou Xiang has promised his family that he will have no worries about food and clothing, is there anything better than this? At this moment, life and death are not so important.

"Very well, looks like you all know." Xiao Kuan grinned again.

If no one responds, no one objects. In Xiao Kuan's place, there is no objection, that is, permission and consent.

"But don't be afraid, I'm the famous general of the Yulin Army in the imperial court, Xiao Kuan! In this battle, you will die with me, Xiao Broadband, which is enough to comfort your life! ”

Xiao Kuan's mouth was stupid, and he didn't know what to say, after saying this, there was nothing more to say, and he turned around and shouted: "Open the city gate!" ”

The city gate slowly opened, and Xiao Kuan rushed out first: "Die with me!" ”
