"Master Zhongcheng, Nanba has been out of the city for several days and has not returned yet, I'm afraid." At dawn, at the end of Suiyang City, Zhang Xun and Xu Yuan led Yao Shi, Lei Wanchun and other generals of the city to repel Yin Ziqi's attack again. The enemy left behind countless corpses and retreated in a hurry, and the city was also full of casualties. Looking at the casualties, Xu Yuan said worriedly.

"Nan Ba ​​is a loyal and martyr. He will eventually come back regardless of reinforcements." In fact, in Zhang Xun's heart, he would rather Nan Jiyun not come back and thus retain some blood for Suiyang City. However, based on his understanding of Nan Jiyun, he knew that Nan Ba ​​was absolutely unable to leave them alone to survive.

"In today's battle, we used up all the arrows." They demolished the houses in the city, found wood and copper and iron, but now there are not many houses in the city to demolish.

"Drop my house. The bricks and stones can be used as rolling wood stones, and bamboo and wood can be used as arrow rods. I remember that there are several bronze Buddha statues in the house, so they are turned into arrows." Zhang Xun said calmly.

"It's good." Xu Yuan was not pretentious. He knew that if he didn't do this, Suiyang City would be breached by Yin Ziqi in a few days. What's the use of keeping these houses at that time? Could it be for Yin Ziqi to live in? "My house has also been demolished, but unfortunately there is no Buddha statue in my place."

While the two were talking, a noise came from under the city wall. Zhang Xun couldn't help but frown, "What's going on?"

"Report to the Lord Zhongcheng, it's the wife who is coming to find you." After a while, Lei Wanchun brought a woman who was almost incomparable to Zhang Xun. Everyone immediately recognized that the woman was Zhang Xun's concubine. She had been helping to make fires and cook under the city these days, but for some reason she was here.

"This is the city defense area, why are you doing here?" Zhang Xun shouted sternly, "Why are you going back quickly."

"Sir." The concubine bowed earnestly. The long-term hunger made her almost lose the strength to speak. She said in a weak and weak voice, "There is no food in the mansion today. We searched for a day before we caught a mouse. The concubine knew that the lord must have not eaten yet, so she sent it to the lord."

After saying that, Zhan Zhan Weiwei handed a broken bowl to Zhang Xun. Zhang Xun's eyes suddenly turned red and he pretended to be strong, "I have already eaten with the soldiers on the top of the city. You can share these."

Xu Yuan opened his mouth and did not say anything after all. He and Zhang Xun had never separated from him on the city wall for a moment. How could he not know that he had not yet entered the rice.

"Sir, don't hide it from the bad concubine. How could the bad concubine not know that the lord did not wait for the soldiers to eat before he could eat?" Zhang Xun's concubine still held the bowl stubbornly, "Today, the bad concubine is helping below, so I didn't see much food on the wall. How could the lord have already eaten?"

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but burst into tears. If it weren't for Zhang Xun, Xu Yuan and others setting an example, killing the enemy before everyone, and resting after everyone, how could the soldiers and civilians in Suiyang City be willing to fight with them to fight the enemy bravely until they die?

"Sir, just eat it." Xu Yuan couldn't help but persuade, and then Yao Shi, Lei Wanchun and other generals, together with the soldiers around him, persuaded Zhang Xun.

"Okay." Zhang Xun glanced at his concubine pitifully and took the bowl from her. The concubine of the high-ranking official in the court was not a luxury, but she followed her but couldn't even eat a bite of rat meat.

Seeing Zhang Xun taking the bowl, everyone on the city wall smiled. Unexpectedly, Zhang Xun did not start eating, but walked quickly to the porridge bucket that was visible to the bottom of Qingke, put the rat meat in, and stirred it with a spoon a few times, "It is better to have fun to have fun alone than to have fun. The soldiers have not known the taste of meat for many days. Today, they might as well follow the official to have meat." The city was filled with silence.

Suddenly he heard a scream. Zhang Xun turned around and saw his concubine pulling out a dagger and slid it around her neck. Her tears were vaguely eyes and said with a smile on her lips, "Sir, there is no food in the city now, and sparrows and rats are eaten clean. Keeping a villain who is powerless to kill the thief is also a waste. The villain will take a step first, and later the gods can distribute the villain to the soldiers to eat, which is also a shameful concubine to the emperor."

After saying that, the concubine bowed to Zhang Xun again, "I will part with you now. I hope I can serve the adults in the next life. I hope there will be no so many thieves in the next life who can stay with you forever."

"Madam!" The soldiers on the side were all crying like rain. They didn't expect a woman to be so strong. Several soldiers wanted to take off the dagger in her hand, but they were afraid that they would hurt her and dare not move.

"You've suffered." Zhang Xun sighed, "You go first today, I'll come later. You're waiting for me on the Naihe Bridge. If there is a next life, we will definitely be a loving couple."

Xu Yuan and others turned around when they saw this. Even if they saw too many killings on the battlefield, they could not bear to see the scene in front of them. Xu Yuan's servant also secretly held the dagger tightly, just waiting for Zhang Xun's concubine to commit suicide, they would follow closely so that many soldiers could have more strength to kill the enemy.

"Sir! The enemy is in chaos!" Suddenly, Lei Wanchun pointed to the distance and shouted loudly. Everyone hurriedly looked in the direction of his fingers. Yin Ziqi's army was in chaos, and thousands of soldiers rushed out of the army and were coming towards the city gate.

The leading generals danced with a big axe and slashed left and right. The generals under Yin Ziqi stepped forward one after another, but could not stop him. Another general behind him was holding a long bow and arched left and right. Wherever the long arrows arrived, all the thieves were wailing to the end.

"It's Nanba, Nanba is back!" Lei Wanchun immediately recognized the archery general who was shooting. Nan Jiyun, who went out to ask for reinforcements a few days ago. He looked ecstatic and turned around and said to Zhang Xun, "Master Zhongcheng, Nanba is back with reinforcements!"

"Hahaha, Nanba is indeed a good man!" Zhang Xun grabbed the battlement in two steps and looked closely. He saw about a thousand brave soldiers guarding the army and rushing back and forth among the rebels. Wherever he went, the bandits were all disintegrated.

"Whose subordinates are such a brave soldier? Helan Jinming is not as capable as he is?" Zhang Xun's heart flashed with doubt, but he was instantly dispelled by the excitement of reinforcements. He turned around and shouted sternly, "The soldiers are ready to open the city to attack and welcome the reinforcements brought back by Nanba."

The soldiers hurried down from the city gate and rushed towards the city gate. When Zhang Xun passed by his concubine, he gently took off the dagger in her hand, "Nan Ba ​​is back, he must have brought food. Go and prepare to make a fire and cook."

The concubine slowly stood up and looked back into the distance. Among Nan Jiyun's army, there were mountains of carts piled up on them. She couldn't help but smile brightly. She finally didn't have to go hungry.
