Zhuo Xi over there listened to Jing Yuan's strange tone and suspected that he was diverting his attention. She asked coldly, "are you hiding something from me?"

Jing Yuan was about to shake his head. He remembered his agreement with her and shut his mouth.

She guessed, "did the wound crack?"

"Leave it alone." He tried to pretend to be cold, but why did that sound childish?

That's it?

"I really don't care?" She looked at him and asked, "tell the truth."

He looked at her without answering.

She pressed him on one of the only two chairs in the attic. Some angrily untied his coat and opened his gauze. The wound had burst and blood and meat were pasted together. She called Shu Yue to bring her baggage, found the powder, put it on him carefully, and wrapped it up again. She said in a cold voice, "don't you know you're hurt? Walking depends on legs and feet, not chest and back! Do you think someone will pity you if you make yourself like this? It doesn't matter if you don't want your own life. Think about these brothers who sacrificed their lives to protect your friendship. If you hurt yourself to death or drag the enemy to catch up, how can you embarrass them? "

Peeping at the interaction between the two of them in the distance, their chin was about to fall off.

Jing Yuan's indifferent face gradually showed light, "are you concerned about me?"

"I don't care. Can you do it? You are a patient now. " Zhuo Xi said unhappily, wrapping the last circle of white cloth around his chest and preparing to tie a knot.

He stretched out his hand and hugged her waist. "Don't leave me alone."

Zhuo Xi froze. He hasn't been surrounded by stars all the time. When did he leave him alone? She said angrily, "what are you doing? Let go. Don't let me bandage again!"

He let her go, honestly let her tie the last knot, and then put on her clothes. He stood up and shouted, "the whole army set out."

They stumbled. Is this the gentle and wronged Marquis like a little daughter-in-law just now? Everyone looked at each other. Well, this is the Hou Ye they were familiar with.

Zhuo Xi pinched his arm again, "what are you doing shouting so loudly? Let the wound crack again? " Could it be that the direct cause of his wound splitting in front was shouting? Okay, what's the ghost's name?! What she didn't know was that in front of him, he actually integrated all kinds of emotions of worry, tension, entanglement and regret, and could only alleviate his emotions by shouting. At the same time, he found that shouting affected the wound and brought physical pain, which could better cover up his anxiety, so he became louder and louder.

Jing Yuan immediately whispered, "I see."

They stumbled again and helped their forehead.

At this time, a small soldier trotted up to report urgently, "Lord, Zhao Ting's vanguard troops have arrived in the villa and are trying their best to search for our whereabouts."

"How many people are there?"

"It is roughly estimated that there are about 3000 people."

Everyone looked cold and looked down the mountain. They are located on the small hillside of this nameless mountain, facing Tonglin villa, with a panoramic view of the situation in the villa. Sure enough, there are people in the villa.

It's almost evening and the sun is setting. Zhuo Xi looked up at the sunlight, looked at the humble attic that looked like a sentry post, and asked, "what's the situation on the mountain? How many days can you keep it? Is there any strategic material? Is there an escape route? "

Zi Ran felt his nose awkwardly. Zhuo Xi was surprised and asked, "what's the matter?"

Zi Ran looked at his Marquis and saw the master nodding. Then he hesitated and said, "the mountain was built only as a shelter, so the path is only built here. There is no grain in the pavilion. As for the escape route... "Was not considered at all.

Zhuo Xi's face slowly cracked. Fortunately, she secretly admired the designer of the villa. She thought he was professional enough and knew how to confuse the enemy's eyes and ears. I didn't expect this project to be a tiger head and a snake tail. I didn't expect how to escape if the first three lines of defense failed. It's a big failure.

Jing Yuan explained in a low voice, "benhou had been assassinated countless times before. Furong villa was set up to deal with assassins. I didn't expect to encounter a large number of regular army attacks one day, so..."

"So, how many enemy troops are there?" Zhuo Xi immediately asked the key.

Zi Ran immediately kept silent and dared not speak.

Jingyuan had to answer, "according to the spies, there may be 50000 people."

"What?!" Zhuo Xi took a cold breath, "how many defenders do we have?"

Jing Yuan could already hear that the lower her voice was, the more angry she was. He dared not answer again and looked at Ziran.

Zi Ran couldn't bear her anger, so he quickly pushed it off to Jian Yi, the director of military aircraft. "Adult Jian Yi knows better than his subordinates."

Jianyi had to step forward, "the white Hui army and the dark guard had a total of 2500 people, and 300 people were in ambush at the arrow towers and stone bridges. There were also 500 heavy troops here, and about 800 people were left to protect the side of the marquis."

Twenty five to fifty thousand? Are you free to chat here? Zhuo Xi wanted to open their brains to see whether rust was funny or water was in the water.

"What are you waiting for? Waiting for reinforcements? Are there reinforcements? " Her voice rose and she asked with a trace of expectation.

Jian Yi hesitated and shook his head, "the flying pigeon has sent a book. But the reinforcements are thousands of miles away. This is near the suburbs of Beijing. It will take ten days to get there. I'm afraid it's too late. "

"Then don't you dial it right away?" Zhuo Xi pressed her anger in a low voice. This is only a small-scale military group discussion. It can't be too loud. "If there is no escape route, you have to dig one at the scene. Otherwise, we'll have to wait and die. " The military situation is like fire. What's the matter with them chatting here with leisure?

Didn't I wait for you before? After a while, Yi stepped forward and said, "Yu Liang has gone to open the way with a small army. Masters, this way, please. " He has automatically classified Zhuo Xi as a master.

"Wait," Zhuo Xi shouted again, "Shu Yue, bring the burden."

On one side, Shu Yue, who was repeatedly suffering from despair and hope, heard the speech and opened the burden. Zhuo Xi pulled out several packets of medicinal powder from the bag and handed it to Zi Ran, "let the brothers sprinkle it on them, which can drive away some mosquitoes, rats and ants."

"Thank you, girl."

She shouted to Ma San in the distance, "Uncle Ma, please come here."

Ma San stood far away and didn't hear their discussion on military affairs. He only had a difficult road ahead. Hearing Zhuo Xi call him from afar, he trotted over.

She handed him a few packets, "Uncle Ma, sprinkle some of these packets of medicinal powder on your body to prevent some mosquitoes, rats and ants. If the quantity is small, just these packets to save some money."

Ma San took it. Thank you very much.

The crowd began to move forward.

Ma Sanzheng shouted the slaves to come and sprinkle medicine powder while informing them that they were ready to go. Suddenly there was a scream not far away, and then soldiers pulled out their weapons. Soon there was another scream of animals.

Everyone immediately went to watch. Zhuo Xi looked away from the crowd. It turned out to be a mandrill, a fierce monkey. Has been killed by the soldiers under the tree. Ma San came forward and explained, "before, the two people felt hungry, so they went to the bushes to find some fruit. Unexpectedly, they were suddenly attacked by this man." The mandrill's strength was infinite. When he saw a stranger rush forward, he grabbed one and fell onto the rock. Before the man could make a scream, his brain was thrown out. The other man screamed and wanted to run away, but he was caught by it and threw it on the ground. He threw it several times and lost his breath.

Zhuo Xi saw that people were dead and had no choice. "Uncle Ma, please go and emphasize discipline with them. There are many dangers in the mountains and forests. Let them not leave the team and walk around at will."

Jianrong, who was watching closely at the foot of the mountain, suddenly shouted, "look."

When they looked down the mountain, they saw that there were three firelights in front of the four arrow towers, but this was not a torch, but a fire oil bag tied to the arrow was lit and drew an arc at all angles in the air.

Some soldiers praised, "it's amazing that someone can think of such a way to fight." In this way, the lethality of the arrow is greatly increased.

People looked at Zhuo Xi. She lifted her broken hair on her cheek calmly, "let's go. If you want to see a good play, there will be more. " In the bronze age, even weapons were very backward. For the time being, no one thought this method was normal. She was just exposed to the light of future generations. Everyone's eyes, how can you enjoy standing beside her?

Soon a small soldier came up in time to broadcast the war, "report! The enemy who came to attack the Western arrow tower in the first wave was wiped out by the whole army. "

The soldiers cheered and hugged Jing Yuan and Zhuo Xi and began to climb over the mountains along the newly opened path.

Then small soldiers kept coming up to broadcast the war situation, and the first wave of enemy troops in front of the three arrow towers were wiped out.

The morale of the people increased greatly.

The humidity in the mountain is very heavy, and the newly opened path is not smooth. From time to time, someone will fall and slip. Rao is so. Their speed is not slow. They soon catch up with Yu Liang, who opened the road slowly in front of them. The two teams joined together and continued to move forward slowly. Probably there were a large number of people. The fierce animals they imagined didn't appear. They only occasionally heard the sound of breaking by.

There are many people, but they really gradually come out of a way.

Zhuo Xi sighed and embezzled a famous saying recited by the primary school, "there is no road in the world. When there are many people, it becomes a road."

Zi Ran looked at her admiringly. Shu Yue followed Wu Xing. She was very formal. When she saw everyone talking and laughing, she ignored the rules. After listening to Zhuo Xi's emotion, she couldn't help praising, "Miss, good literary talent!"

After a while, Shu Yue pulled La Wuxing's sleeve and whispered, "young master, Shu Yue is a little hungry. She set out temporarily and didn't bring anything to eat. Look, there are some small fruits on this tree. Can you eat them? "

Before her voice fell, someone rushed to the tree, picked a wild fruit, put it in his mouth and chewed it. It seems a little hungry. Others picked it one after another.

Xiao Bai in Zhuo Xi's sleeve climbed out, sniffed and shook his head. Unfortunately Zhuo Xi didn't see it. Xiaobai touched her wrist with her head. Zhuo Xi raised her sleeve and saw Xiaobai shaking her head. Her face changed, "wait a minute, you can't eat!"

But it was late. The man who picked the fruit first grabbed his neck and planted it from the tree. His face was black. The people who came to pick in the back were so frightened that they immediately threw away the wild fruit.

A guard beside Zhuo Xi shouted, "girl, be careful!" Took out the knife and cut it on her arm.

Jing Yuan, who was on his side, quickly kicked the dark guard, "presumptuous!"

The guard was wronged. "Girl, there is a snake in the girl's sleeve!"

Zhuo Xi touched her heart to jump out, "it's okay. It's Xiaobai. It's my friend."

"Friends?"

She put Xiaobai out to show, "it's very powerful. It's poisonous. It knows as soon as it smells. Now everyone is hungry. Shall we ask him to help us find some edible fruits? "

"Can't it really bite us?" A guard was skeptical.

"Absolutely not." Zhuo Xi let it out. "Xiaobai, do you know there are non-toxic fruits around here?"

Xiaobai nodded and motioned her to follow. She found some small yellow fruits among the trees. Zhuo Xi said, "this can be eaten. You can eat it." Seeing that everyone was hesitant, Zhuo Xi took the lead in picking one and put it into her mouth. Then Zi Ran and Wu Xing picked some to eat. Seeing that they had nothing to eat, the people who followed came to pick. Xiaobai took them to find several places with wild fruits and a wild banana tree. Full of plantains grow on the trees. People have never seen this kind of fruit and don't know how to eat it. Zhuo Xi happily commanded Zi Ran to pick some from the tree, peeled off the skin in full view of the public, and tasted it. It was sweet and a little bitter.

Zi Ran drew the gourd suspiciously, took a bite and found that it tasted good. He happily handed it to Jing Yuan, "Lord Hou, you have a taste."

"How can a cheap girl eat it?" If I didn't know you, shouldn't I study plantain for the first time?

You don't talk, no one thinks you're dumb! Zhuo Xi didn't know how to answer. He raised his eyes and saw Xiaobai shaking his tail just after eating. He had to point the spear at it, "it told me." Anyway, only she can understand Xiaobai's language.

Xiaobai looked at her lazily, too lazy to distinguish.

"When did it tell you?"

Zhuo Xi smiled, "it told me before." She came forward and put Xiaobai back into her sleeve pocket. She knew it was full and ready to go to bed.

The party ate a lot and continued on the road. Fruit has this advantage, which can quench both thirst and hunger.

Walking, Zhuo Xi felt that Xiaobai in her sleeve pocket suddenly ran restlessly around. Didn't she wake up just after she fell asleep?

"Xiaobai, what's the matter with you?" She whispered.

Xiaobai poked out a small head and shook his head hard.

Zhuo Xi stopped and asked, "do you mean there is danger ahead? The very dangerous one? "

Xiaobai nodded like mashing garlic.

She immediately grabbed Jing Yuan and reported to him, "Xiaobai said there was danger ahead. Do you want them to stop first?"

He looked at her: "are you sure Xiaobai said it?"

He emphasized the word "say".

Zhuo Xi stared, "yes. Why, don't you believe me? "

"Believe, believe!" Jing Yuan couldn't help reaching out and rubbing her hair. "There's no road here. They mined the road. I'll just let them change direction. "

Before he could speak, he saw that the people in front suddenly stopped. The first one retreated, and the people behind him didn't know why. Suddenly the man in charge shouted, "python, run.". He ran into the crowd behind him, and the others followed him back.

Zhuo Xi fixed her eyes and saw that there was a python circling on the tree in front, spitting out a red core. No wonder Xiaobai was afraid of this.

But ordinary soldiers are afraid of boa constrictors, and those skilled dark guards are not afraid. Jianyi Jianrong directly took the sword and attacked the python.

Although the python is huge, it is also agile. For a moment, he circled up the tree and fell to the people in a straight line, causing the soldiers to flee. Zhuo Xi and Jing Yuan left early to watch the war in their spare time, but they found that there was another fire at the foot of the mountain. It seemed that there was a second wave of people attacking, and there were a large number of people. I don't know how many more than the first wave. After a while, the same three arrow towers fired rockets. It seems that the enemy is still chasing in three ways.

The dark guards fought with the python for dozens of rounds, and finally nailed the python to a tree, but there was no applause. Turning around, Jing Yuan and others looked solemnly at the foot of the mountain. They surrounded and looked at the enemy several times as much as before. They also lost the pride of fighting Python just now.

Sure enough, the small soldier came up again and sent a message, saying that Zhao Ting's army was crushed by the whole army. The crowd looked at the arrow tower silently. There were fewer and fewer rockets. They knew that the arrows were running out. Seeing that the enemy was about to break through the first line of defense, Zhuo Xi suddenly asked, "is there an escape secret way in the arrow tower?" No one answered her.

"What if the arrow tower is broken? What will they do? "

Jing Yuan and the guards were silent. In their concept, if the level was conquered, the soldiers guarding would face a close-up meat war until the last minute.

Zhuo Xi grabbed Jing Yuan's sleeve and said, "you have a way to inform them, right?"

Jing Yuan's face shook, "Jianrong, send a signal to them." He turned to Zhuo Xi again. "What are you going to tell them?"

"Let them do everything they can to protect themselves and keep the green mountains. They are not afraid of no firewood." All the guards are huge earthquakes. Their education has always been to protect the Marquis to the death. They never thought that if the mission fails, they should try their best to protect themselves.

Jianrong was shocked: "Lord, if you escape before the battle, it's a deserter!"

"They are not fleeing before the battle, nor should they be called deserters. They have completed their task, but they have run out of materials and strive to protect themselves." Zhuo Xi said.

Jing Yuan was silent. "Inform them again that the Marquis pardoned them innocent. If you can survive, go to Wuyong mountain to meet the main force of Baihui army!"

When Jianrong said "yes" loudly, he went down to carry out it.
