Xu Zizhen spent the whole afternoon in the military camp, practicing swordsmanship and horsemanship with the Five Hundred Shenji Battalion. With him as the god of war, the energy of the recruits increased a lot. The horse thieves had already become familiar with him.
, I still had a lot of fun with him during my free time during training.
Shui Liuli didn't leave, and just sat quietly on the sidelines watching all afternoon. Ohno found a deserted corner to practice with a wooden sword. He didn't realize that he was hungry until Xu Zizhen came to call him.
He immediately put down his knife and followed him.
When Xu Zizhen returned to the house, it was already dark, and the food had been prepared. He ate indiscriminately, asked Shui Liuli to arrange a place for Daye, and went alone to the small downstairs where Wen Xian lived in the backyard.
The screen window of the small building was dimly glowing with light. Wen Xian hadn't slept yet. Xu Zizhen was stunned for a while looking at the light. He smiled and went upstairs. He was now an uncle in name only, although it was a bit uncomfortable to enter the boudoir at night.
Sure, but he doesn't care at all. This is my wife, who dares to talk?
The door was closed, Xu Zizhen pushed it open without even knocking, and almost bumped into a petite body, but it was Wen Xian's personal maid Dark Green.
Dark Green was startled unexpectedly. When he came back to his senses, he saw that it was Xu Zizhen. He immediately opened his hands to block the door and said anxiously: "You... what are you going to do?"
Xu Zizhen said: "I'm here to see my wife, what's wrong? Get out of the way, good dogs don't block the way!"
The dark green man said angrily: "There are differences between men and women. It is already night, do you still know the etiquette?"
Xu Zizhen laughed dumbly and deliberately pretended to be vicious and said: "What's wrong with that? If you don't get out of the way, be careful, I'll grab you to warm the bed first!"
Dark Green exclaimed and hurriedly took two steps back. Xu Zizhen took the opportunity to rush in, smiled and walked straight in.
Wen Xian was sitting on the bed hugging the quilt. She could clearly hear the conversation between the two at the door. When she saw Xu Zizhen coming in, she blushed and said, "What nonsense are you talking about again?"
Xu Zizhen walked to her bed and sat down, reaching out to touch her forehead: "This girl doesn't take my uncle seriously anymore. If I don't scare her, she really thinks that he is a vegetarian... The fever has almost gone away.
, are you feeling better?"
Wen Xian felt the warmth of his palm, her heart felt sweet, and she said softly: "It's much better now, but my body is still very tired."
Xu Zizhen said: "The illness is gone like a string of silkworms. Even though you just have a cold, you still need to take good care of yourself for a while."
Wen Xian had never heard of the word cold, but she roughly guessed the meaning. She nodded and said: "I heard from my father that I am afraid that the Xixia Army will invade again in the near future. Just help my father. I am not in good health."
I think it will be fine in a few days."
Xu Zizhen stretched out his hand and grabbed her catkins, and smiled: "You have to take good care of yourself. I'm still waiting to fight off the summer dog and marry you. Don't do it then..."
Wen Xian was so thin-skinned that she couldn't bear to hear such teasing words. She immediately blushed to her neck and covered her head with the quilt with a cry. Xu Zizhen burst out laughing. He was about to make some more jokes at her when he suddenly heard something coming from far outside the window.
There was a sound of swords clashing, and the crisp sound of clanking was particularly clear at this night.
Xu Zizhen was stunned and stood up suddenly: "Holy crap! Sanjuetang is here?"
Wen Xian was startled and quickly put down the quilt. Xu Zizhen had already run to the door. Before going out, he turned around and said to her: "I'll go take a look. You should be obedient here and don't run around. Be careful."
As soon as he finished speaking, he had already jumped out, and before Wen Xian could speak, he had disappeared.
Xu Zizhen had just gone out when he saw several fires in front of the courtyard, mixed with shouts and fighting sounds. His heart sank. Sanjuetang came as soon as he said it, without any sign. Shui Liuli said that there would be people in the world who would come.
But I haven't seen one yet, and I don't know if it's too late.
Just as he was thinking about it, Shui Liuli suddenly flew over from the courtyard and landed in front of him. Before he could speak, she smiled lightly: "Don't panic, my master is here."
Xu Zizhen asked anxiously: "Is this Sanjuetang coming? How many people are there?"
Shui Liuli nodded: "Yes, there are about thirty people in this mansion at the moment, and I'm afraid there are also some from Mr. Meng's side."
Xu Zizhen turned over his hand and pulled out the knife: "Then what are you waiting for? Let's go!"
Shui Liuli stretched out her hand to stop him: "Since my brothers from the guild are here, Mr. Wen is not in any danger, but there is another matter at the moment. The Xia army has invaded and is approaching Jincheng Pass."
Xu Zizhen was shocked. What were the spies of the Song Army doing? Why did the Xixia people come to the door to find out?
"I'll leave this to you, I'll close it!" Xu Zizhen said and rushed downstairs, heading straight for the door. The battle was a melee with thousands of troops, and Shui Liuli's skill could be used in such a situation.
If she doesn't contribute, it's better to let her help guard Wen Xian.
Shui Liuli nodded, and when Xu Zizhen's figure was about to disappear, he suddenly shouted: "Zizhen, be careful!"
Xu Zizhen's voice came from far away: "I can't die, please take care of Xian'er for me!"
Shui Liuli bit her lip and looked at the direction where Xu Zizhen disappeared, with a complicated look in her eyes, and looked back at Wen Xian's boudoir.
When Xu Zizhen just walked out of the backyard, he saw Daye waiting there. There were constant shouts of killing all around, but he looked very calm and didn't seem to care at all. Xu Zizhen waved from a distance and asked loudly: "Have you eaten enough?"
No?"
Ohno said sheepishly: "I'm a little nervous."
Xu Zizhen laughed loudly: "Then I'll take you to Xiaoxiaoshi, let's go and fight with me!"
Daye nodded: "Okay!"
Shui Liuli had already made preparations when he arrived. Two horses had already been brought over, one of which was the baby cabbage given to him by Duoqi Zhuoma - this was the name given by Xu Zizhen.
Xu Zizhen got on the horse without saying anything. Just as he was about to lift the reins, he suddenly thought of Daye. He didn't know if he could ride a horse. But when he turned around, he saw Daye jumping directly onto the horse's back with a beautiful leap. His posture was even more agile than him.
After talking a lot, Xu Zizhen was stunned and blurted out: "How handsome!"
Daye smiled naively and said nothing. Now was not the time to ask this question. Xu Zizhen no longer hesitated, shouted and galloped away. Daye also knocked his feet and followed closely.
The two were riding in the street. Xu Zizhen was so anxious that he wanted to fly to Jincheng Pass immediately, but he also knew very well that the closer he was to the city, the more calm he had to be. Panic would only make him lose the most basic judgment and decision-making.
"Oh Ye, go and call the Shenji Battalion over for me."
"Yes, Master!"
Daye responded, and a group of horses' heads relaxed from the other road. Xu Zizhen gritted his teeth, pressed his body close to the horse's back, and rushed towards the pass as quickly as possible.
Sanjuetang and Yuan Size, come together, right? OK! I’ll give you a chance, it’s up to you whether you succeed or not!
