Chapter 195 Bad luck
After listening to Qiu Liming's report, Xiao Zhuo frowned, and said, "How is the Xiliang Army's formation now?"

Qiu Liming said: "The Xirong army surrounded Mei Cheng and his son on the mountain, and there were about [-] people surrounded. The rest of the Xiliang army has no commander and has already been dispersed. Many soldiers are retreating to Zhang Wu."

Shen Yuexi looked at Xiao Zhuo worriedly, and asked, "My lord, will the Xi Rong Army take this opportunity to attack Zhang Wu?"

Qiu Liming saw that she was worried, and quickly said: "Mistress, don't worry, the Xirong Army is currently besieging the Xiliang Prince and his son. They won't be able to attack here for a while."

Just as he was talking, Song Zhen also arrived and said to Xiao Zhuo: "Master, more than [-] soldiers have returned from Zhangwu City. We should close the city gate immediately and order the soldiers to go up to the enemy tower for protection. The Xirong army may follow We will attack Zhang Wu, we need to prepare early."

"Then what about Xiliang Prince and his son?" Shen Yuexi asked, "Leave them alone?"

Song Zhen shook his feather fan in embarrassment, and said: "The Xirong army turned defeat into victory, and their momentum is in full swing. I'm afraid we can't do anything. We can only give up the father and son of Xiliang Prince."

Qiu Liming also interjected: "My lord, what the military advisor said is right. The Xirong army has escaped from death, and now they are besieging the Xiliang king and his son. We don't have enough troops to fight, so we should focus on defense."

Shen Yuexi looked at Xiao Zhuo.

His generals all think that the focus is on defense, which is quite reasonable.But in the end it was Xiao Zhuo who made the decision.

"I'm going to save them." Xiao Zhuo didn't accept everyone's opinions, but made the opposite decision.

Song Zhen turned pale in shock, slapped the wind twice, and said, "My lord, Shensi, we now only have [-] troops who have just returned from defeat, and we have no fighting spirit. The Xirong army on the opposite side is twice as large as ours."

Qiu Liming also stopped him and said, "My lord, now Yongwei has been occupied by the Jingzhou army, and we only have the city of Zhangwu. If Zhangwu is lost again, we will have nowhere to go."

"I know all about it," Xiao Zhuo said, "we live in Xiliang, but we watch Xiliang's father and son being besieged and sit back and do nothing. This is not what a gentleman does. General Qiu, prepare my armor and horse. You guard the city , I will lead the army to rescue myself."

Song Zhen threw away the feather fan, stretched out his hands to stop Xiao Zhuo, and said, "My lord, don't forget the oath you made with King Doma."

"I've already broken my promise, it doesn't matter if I lose it again." Xiao Zhuo looked back at Shen Yuexi, "Yuexi, you stay in the city."

Shen Yuexi refused, and said, "I want to go with you too."

As soon as the words came out, she regretted that she spoke too fast.She wanted to be with Xiao Zhuo all the time, so she subconsciously said to follow.

If she followed, it would have no effect except to add to the chaos.

Xiao Zhuo turned around and walked in front of her, holding her cheeks with both hands: "This time we are going to fight, and you will be distracted to take care of you as your husband, and you cannot concentrate on fighting the enemy."

Shen Yuexi also covered the back of Xiao Zhuo's hands with both hands, and said, "Alright then, I'll wait for you to come back here."

Xiao Zhuo stopped talking, bowed his head and kissed her on the forehead, turned around and hurried away with Qiu Liming and others.

Shen Yuexi returned to the room, sat at the table, resting her cheeks with her hands in a daze.

Xiao Zhuo went to rescue Maple anyway.With his ability, it shouldn't be a problem, right?
He was victorious and never lost.Why should I worry about myself?
Maybe it was Song Zhen's words that affected her.Now the momentum of the Xiliang Army and the Xirong Army is just reversed.Xiao Zhuo leads a group of defeated troops, can they win?If the battle is lost, what if the Xi Rong army comes to attack Zhang Wu?
She wanted to get up and tell Qiang Lin to go to the battlefield to see the situation, hesitated for a moment, and sat down again.

The Xiliang army is now fighting with the Xirong army. Qiang Lin and a group of hidden guards are from Xirong, so it is obviously inappropriate for him to participate.

After sitting for a while, she couldn't help it.He stood up and shouted: "Qianglin, Qianglin."

She shouted so urgently that it sounded like a trace of panic.

Qiang Lin's voice sounded outside the door and said: "Master, don't panic, the subordinates are always here. If anyone dares to hurt the master, they must step over my dead body."

Shen Yuexi opened the door, and Qiang Lin was standing at the door, holding the handle of the knife.Stay there like a loyal dog.

The sky did not know when it began to snow, and a thin layer of snow had already fallen on Qiang Lin's shoulders.

Shen Yuexi said: "I want to know the battle ahead, send a secret guard to investigate, and report back to me. Also, you don't have to keep guarding the door, it will freeze to death."

Qiang Lin said: "Master, don't worry, my subordinates have sent secret guards to investigate at Ben Niuhe. Now there are no officials in the city to maintain order, and my subordinates have just driven out two groups of rebels."

Only then did Shen Yuexi understand why he had been guarding here all the time, because he was afraid that a rebellious army would break into here.

Besides, besides her and Xiao Zhuo, Mrs. Li, mother and daughter, and Doctor Hua are all here, all relying on the protection of these hidden guards.

She said: "My husband is fighting with your clansmen, I know you must be upset, and I don't want to trouble you."

Qiang Lin shook his head with a smile and said: "This subordinate has sworn allegiance to the gods to the master, and this life belongs to the master. Even if my clansmen want to kill the master, the subordinates will not miss it."

During the conversation, a hidden guard came.He saluted the two of them: "Master, leader. Good news, His Royal Highness the Prince has rescued the father and son of Xiliang King."

Shen Yuexi was overjoyed, and hurriedly asked: "How did you save it? Is my husband injured? Tell me quickly."

The dark guard said: "His Royal Highness was unharmed. Seeing him coming, Xi Rong immediately withdrew his troops. His Royal Highness did not pursue him either. He saved the Xiliang Prince and his son and gathered the scattered troops before returning. He must have already entered the city at this moment gone."

Shen Yuexi breathed a sigh of relief.I am also really, I worry about blindly, when Xiao Zhuo let her down.

Ever since he was with Xiao Zhuo, Xiao Zhuo has never failed. Whether it is fighting alone or leading an army, Xiao Zhuo will be the final winner.

This is a man she doesn't need to worry about at all.

"I'm going to meet my husband right now!" Shen Yuexi turned around and took two cotton cloaks from the house, tied one by herself, and put the other in her arms.

With Qiang Lin guarding her, Shen Yuexi came to the city gate just in time for the Xiliang army to enter the city.

The sergeants' faces were covered with dust, and their iron armor was covered with snow.They didn't feel depressed after losing a battle, but the team was very quiet, and there seemed to be a heavy atmosphere shrouded in Zhangwu City.

Shen Yuexi saw Qiu Liming at a glance in the team, and shouted: "General Qiu, is the Xirong Army still there? Where is my husband, why can't I see others?"

Seeing her, Qiu Liming hurriedly rode out of the queue and came to her: "Mistress, the Xirong army has retreated. The Lord is in the middle of the queue, and the king of Xiliang is injured."

"What's the injury?" Shen Yuexi asked with concern.

"Two arrows in the chest and abdomen, the situation is not optimistic." Qiu Liming said in a low voice, "The doctor said that he needs to be treated immediately, otherwise he may not be able to survive."

Shen Yuexi ran to the middle of the team and saw two sergeants carrying a stretcher. Xiliang Wang Meicheng was lying on the stretcher, her body, beard and hair were whitened by snowflakes.Xiao Zhuo and Mei Pu were following on both sides of the stretcher, and there were two men who looked like doctors.

She came to the front, handed the cloak to Xiao Zhuo first, and said softly: "How is the situation?"

Xiao Zhuo shook his head lightly, with a dignified expression.

As if he heard her words, Mei Cheng on the stretcher raised his head: "Hehe...it was shot by the Xirong archer. The king is full of armor, and he shot right into the gap."

Seeing that he could still speak, Shen Yuexi shook Xiao Zhuo's hand, turned around and said, "My lord, you've been shot by an arrow, don't speak."

Mei Cheng was hit by an arrow below the right sternum and collarbone, and in the abdomen.The armor has been removed, and the clothes where the arrow was hit have been stained black and red with blood.

"I can't die, I have a lot of fat in my stomach." Mei Cheng lay down again and said, "It's just another defeat, alas... I thought I could win. If it weren't for His Royal Highness, this king would have to go see his ancestors gone."

As he spoke and panted, the arrow wound began to ooze blood again, and two doctors rushed forward to press him to stop the bleeding.

Mei Pu held Mei Cheng's hand and said: "Father, listen to Mrs. Shen's words and stop talking."

When everyone came to the prefect's mansion, they first placed Mei Cheng in a clean room.Maple said to the two doctors: "Do you have a solution?"

The two doctors shook their heads in embarrassment, and one of them said: "Your Highness, this is a special spike arrow, which is specially designed for Xirong sharpshooters. If you want to pull it out forcefully, the prince may not be able to hold it..."

"At the moment, I can only let the prince stop the pain first..."

"It's really useless, get out." Maple waved his hands irritably, and drove the two doctors away.

"My lord, I've come to find a good doctor for you."

Hearing Shen Yuexi's voice, Meipu turned his head and saw Shen Yuexi running panting with an old man carrying a medicine box, Xiao Zhuo followed closely behind.

"Doctor Hua is the best at treating arrow wounds. With him around, the prince will be fine, don't worry!"
