Reborn to marry ex-husband's nemesis

Chapter 789
"We must bring enough water. In case of wind and sand, we lose our way and cannot get out for ten days and a half months. Water is very important."

General Song nodded: "Okay, I'll listen to you, tell me what's missing, and I'll order someone to prepare."

Old man Li didn't talk nonsense, and listed all the things he needed in a few words.

Finally, he warned: "There will be sandstorms tonight, we are now camping here to rest for the night, and we will set off tomorrow morning, we must follow closely."

Guishawan is not suitable for riding a horse, so they all lead the horses forward, which increases the difficulty of marching.

Night falls.

The night sky of Qi State is extraordinarily open and lofty, the stars are shining brightly, stretching as far as the eye can see.

For some reason, Chu Zhi felt that the start of the war would not go so smoothly.

Seeing that Chu Zhi was worried, Han Zhan comforted him, "Don't think too much about it. With old man Li around, nothing will happen."

Chu Zhi sighed: "But I'm still worried."

Han Zhan gave Dong'er a wink, Dong'er understood, and quickly comforted him: "Yes, master, instead of worrying about this, you might as well take a rest as soon as possible, recharge your batteries, and go out tomorrow."

Chu Zhi laughed: "You are listening to him now!"

Dong'er smiled and said: "That's natural, why did my uncle love you? No, you can ask Xia'er, Xia'er listens to my uncle most now!"

Xia'er, who was suddenly named, was slightly stunned. After understanding what Dong'er was talking about, she lowered her eyes slightly, took a step back, and said in a deep voice, "Young Master is the master."

It is only natural for a slave to listen to his master.

As slaves, they must not only be obedient, but also loyal, and they must not cause trouble for their master.

Han Zhan raised his eyebrows slightly, and said to Chu Zhi: "You two maids, one is lively and the other is calm, especially Xia'er, it's good to be with you, be careful when facing me, and call people who don't know When I saw it, I thought I was a cannibal.”

Xia'er's expression changed slightly.

"Look, I just said a word, and she turned pale with fright."

"Don't say a few words!" Chu Zhi glared at Han Zhan, then smiled at Xia'er, "It's getting late, you and Dong'er should go to rest as soon as possible, and I'll ask someone to send you back tomorrow. "

Chu Zhi didn't even think about taking Dong'er and Xia'er into Guishawan, because the two girls were determined to live and die, and Han Zhan was afraid of wronging Chu Zhi, so he asked the two to follow.

It's just that this is too much nonsense.

Who have you ever seen go to war with servants on hand?

What's more, Dong'er and Xia'er don't know martial arts at all, wouldn't it be more trouble to bring them along!
At this point, Dong'er was about to cry: "No way! This servant won't agree! This servant has sworn to protect the master even if he dies. Now that the master is in danger, how can I not protect him?"

"You protect me?" Chu Zhi said helplessly, "I was still worried that you would hold me back! That's fine, I will ask someone to send you back tomorrow."

Chu Zhi's attitude was firm, and there was no room for Dong'er to refute.

The next day.

Before dawn, Dong'er was standing outside Chu Zhi's tent.

She made up her mind not to go back.

The master can't be left alone to take care of him.

Chu Zhi thought about it, and said to Dong'er: "You have to go back and help me take care of Meng Wan, so let Xia'er stay here! She knows some punches, and she can come in handy at critical moments."

Although Dong'er was unwilling, she knew that Chu Zhi was right, so she could only nod her head.

After Chu Zhi forcibly sent Dong'er away, he said to Xia'er, "You won't blame me, will you?"

There was a hint of guilt in Chu Zhi's eyes: "I don't feel good about this war."

Xia'er's eyelashes trembled slightly.

"Master..." Xia'er bit her lips tightly, and said in a hoarse voice after a while, "You'd better go back! Okay? You just listen to this servant's persuasion!"

She really didn't want anything to happen to her master.

Chu Zhi was lying when he said that he was not moved.

Ever since Xia'er came to her side, although she was taciturn and never talked much, she looked honest and tight, but in fact she was careful and thoughtful, which perfectly complemented Dong'er.

Chu Zhi could feel Xia'er's loyalty, and her heart for him was no less than that of Dong'er.

Then he said the words that came to his lips, "Actually, I have selfish intentions for asking Dong'er to go back today. She agrees with Qingyi, and she doesn't know martial arts. If she goes to the battlefield, she will be in danger. Isn't there another sad person in the world? That's why I asked someone to send her back. As for you..." Chu Zhi said firmly, "Don't worry, I will definitely protect you! Since you have become my Chu Zhi's maid , as the master, I have the responsibility to protect you."

Xia'er trembled violently, her eyes surging with emotion.

In this world, slaves have always protected their masters. Where can a master protect a slave?
Thinking of Chu Zhi's little things to her again, Xia'er's red eyes overflowed with big drops of tears, she turned her head and wiped away the tears on her face.

He choked up and said, "Master, you will be fine!"

Chu Zhi nodded with a smile: "We'll all be fine!"

……

According to old man Li, if it goes well, you can walk out of Guishawan in five days. can not go out.

Old man Li reminded me of this point repeatedly at the beginning, and everyone kept it in mind.

As a result, on the third night, something happened.

Originally, the army wanted to continue marching under the moonlight, so as to save time. After all, Guishawan is full of changes, and if you stay here for more than a quarter of an hour, you will be more dangerous.

At this moment, old man Li suddenly noticed that the night sky in the east had turned yellow, and he immediately shouted: "Get down! Get down! Everyone hide, the sandstorm is coming! The sandstorm is coming! Get down—"

Just as he was speaking, the wind and sand swept towards him at a speed visible to the naked eye.

As soon as Han Zhan's expression changed, he had no time to think about it. He subconsciously hugged Chu Zhi in his arms and lay down in the desert.

Chu Zhi only glanced at it, and Han Zhan covered her with a cloak, and stuffed two water bottles into her arms. Immediately afterwards, the wind and sand fell down, covering the body, and Chu Zhi was crushed fiercely and urgently. Almost out of breath.

The screams of soldiers and the neighing of war horses can be heard in my ears.

Chu Zhi clenched her teeth, and her clenched fists revealed her worry and grief.

In the face of natural disasters, mortals are always extremely weak and helpless, without even the slightest ability or opportunity to resist.

I don't know how long it took, but the wind and sand finally passed.

Chu Zhi wanted to get up, but she couldn't move. She was buried in the sand, and if she couldn't get out, she would be suffocated to death.

Han Zhan!

Chu Zhi couldn't care about herself, she just wanted to know how Han Zhan was doing.

It was just now that Han Zhan was above him.

Just when Chu Zhi was in a state of anxiety, there was a commotion outside, and there were many exhausted horses whining.

After a while, Chu Zhi felt that the sand on his body was being dug away.

"Master!" Seeing that Chu Zhi under the cloak was safe and sound, Xia Er hugged Chu Zhi, "Fortunately you are fine...fortunately..."

Her trembling body revealed her extremely panicked mood.

Chu Zhi patted her: "I'm fine, don't worry about me, where's Han Zhan?"
