Chapter 116: Fierce Battle (2)

The next day, Zi Jin had enough to eat and drink, and asked Mama Bai to wrap the remaining big meat buns, ready to eat on the city platform. With yesterday's experience, Zijin is no longer afraid of being overwhelmed.

Yu Xi came out, behind her were Mother Qu and Mother Xi, each holding a suit of armor. Yu Xi said: "Yesterday I asked Xu Wu to find two sets of armor, you can put them on!" Although Zijin was not injured yesterday, Yu Zhi was injured, but it was not serious.

Ordinary soldiers wear military uniforms, and only those of a certain level have armor. But who made Yuxi the general's wife, the two sets of armor couldn't trouble her.

After hearing this, Zijin put on her armor immediately.

Yuxi looked at Zijin in armor, nodded and said with a smile, "It looks good." At this time, Zijin was not only heroic, but also filled with an indescribable brilliance.

Xu Daniu was injured yesterday, and the injury was a little serious, so he didn't follow him any more, but stayed in Yunfu.

On the platform, looking at the soldiers who were still asleep, the two walked cautiously. But when they arrived at yesterday's position, they saw Huang Datou walking over with a smile and said, "The girl is really heroic in this armor!" Last night, they knew Zijin's identity.

Everyone has lived and died together, so this relationship is naturally unusual. Zijin smiled and said, "Thank you for your compliment." Zijin also felt very good about herself.

But Yu Zhi suddenly shouted: "Not good, the enemy army is coming..." Yu Zhi has practiced martial arts with Master Yang since he was a child, and his hearing is much better than ordinary people.

Zijin didn't doubt that she had it, so she also shouted loudly: "Everyone, get up quickly, the Northern captive army is here."

Zijin's voice was definitely high-pitched, it made people's ears go numb. In addition, all the soldiers who were asleep were very alert, and when they heard Zijin's cry, they all woke up.

The person who stood up looked into the distance. In fact, it was not yet dawn, so he couldn't see far away. But no one questioned Zijin's words, because no one would be bored enough to make such a joke on Chengtai.

After a while, everyone heard a burst of heavy footsteps. One soldier scolded: "Damn the barbarians from the north, it's not yet dawn, and I don't know why these barbarians are crazy, they came to attack the city before dawn."

Zijin also felt wrong, but at this moment, there was no time to think about it. These northern exiles soon approached the city wall, and a new round of fighting began again.

Zijin killed another Beicap soldier who rushed forward, and said to Yu Zhi, "Something is wrong." These barbarians attacked much more violently than yesterday, and they looked completely reckless.

Yu Zhi also felt that something was wrong: "This is a completely desperate way of fighting." Like yesterday, Zijin was very brave in killing the enemy. After these barbarians noticed it, they tried to avoid the two of them and attack the other soldiers. But today, these people don't seem to be afraid of death, one dies and the other comes again.

Qin Zhao, the chief general, and General Zhao, the deputy general, soon knew about the abnormality of the barbarians in the north. Qin Zhao's face was ugly. In just one morning, they lost nearly 3,000 people. Moreover, according to the fierce attack of the North Captive Barbarian, let alone ten days, it is not known whether it will be able to withstand it for five days.

General Zhao said with a sullen face: "The people from the North are so abnormal, something must have happened to them." Otherwise, they would not have attacked the city so violently. It's just that what happened is unknown.

The fighting continued until dark. A few days ago, the Northern captive army would cease fighting when it got dark, but today, these Northern captive troops seemed to have taken the wrong medicine, and there was no sign of a truce, and the attack was even more violent than during the day.

Zijin watched the familiar people fall down one by one, and her heart throbbed with pain. When killing the enemy, he is even more merciless. But no matter how powerful she is, she is only a prisoner, not a god. After killing for a whole day, and having no time to eat, he was already exhausted.

Yu Zhi wanted Zijin to rest,

But Zijin didn't want to, Yu Zhi said: "If something happens to you, who will protect Madam?" Yu Zhi knew that nothing could be as effective as this sentence.

Zijin stopped struggling immediately, and followed Yu Zhi back to Yun Mansion with her body covered in blood and exhausted.

After entering the Yun Mansion, Zi Jin didn't go to wash up, but went into the backyard, saw Yu Xi, knelt on the ground, and said, "Madam, Zi Jin asks you for one thing."

It is very abnormal to continue to attack the city without stopping fighting at night. However, Yuxi only got the news just now, and she didn't think of the reason at this time.

Seeing Violet, who was covered in blood all over her body, with a grief-stricken face, Yuxi said, "You want me to allow you to go back and kill the enemy now?" Fighting at night is actually very dangerous. Of course, in comparison, they still have an advantage in fighting at night, and the Beiyao people suffer even more.

Zijin nodded and said, "Yes! Only by going to the top of the city tower can we kill more enemies." Without killing the enemies, she couldn't calm down.

Yu Xi was silent for a while and said, "What if I disagree?"

Zijin lowered her head and said: "If madam disagrees, then I won't go." No matter what, madam is the most important thing.

Yuxi sighed, and said, "Since you have the heart, I won't stop you. But even if you go into battle to kill the enemy, you still have to eat. If you don't have the strength, how can you kill the enemy?"

Zijin kept her head down and didn't reply immediately, but was silent for a while, and then said: "Madam, don't worry, if there is an emergency, I will rush back to protect Madam when the city breaks down."

Yuxi shook her head and said, "I don't need you to worry. Xu Wu has already found a very hidden place. Once the city is broken, I will hide in it. So, you just need to take care of yourself, don't worry about me."

Zi Jin looked at Yu Xi, with tears in her eyes, and said, "I'm sorry, ma'am." She knew that she should stay by Madam's side, but she knew very well that if she was allowed to stay by Madam's side, she would not feel at ease.

The expression on Yu Xi's face was still very indifferent, and she said: "Don't say sorry to me, it's enough to come back alive to see me." Now, it's really a critical juncture.

Zijin was about to go to the battlefield again, so Yu Zhi naturally had to accompany her. He didn't worry about Zijin going alone, with him by his side, he could take care of her to some extent.

Seeing the appearance of the young couple, Yuxi hurriedly said: "Go to eat first, and then go when you are full. It won't be a while." Zijin is very good at fighting, but it depends on all the soldiers to protect Yucheng, not on Look at Zijin and Yu Zhi.

Zi Jin and Yu Zhi wolfed down two bowls of rice and prepared to leave.

Mother Bai stuffed the prepared mutton buns into their hands, and said, "Eat it on the road." It takes more than a quarter of an hour to ride horses from Yunfu to the city tower! This thing can be solved on the road.

After the two left, Yu Xi went into the study. Now in the inner courtyard, except for Yuxi's bedroom and study, other rooms are used. The wing on the left is for the maid, and the wing on the right is for Huo Changqing, Master Yang and the guards. Fortunately, it is already April, and the bed is not enough to make the floor and it will not be frozen.

Mother Xi has been worried since Yuxi entered the study. She was so troubled after being pregnant for more than eight months, she was really worried about being overworked and giving birth prematurely!

Two quarters of an hour passed, and there was still no movement in the study. Mother Xi couldn't calm down anymore, and said to Mother Qu, "I'd better go in and have a look!"

Mother Qu shook her head and said, "Let's wait outside! If something is wrong, rush in." She was worried that if she went in and interrupted Madam's thoughts, it would be a bad thing.

The worries of the two mothers are obviously unnecessary. Yuxi came out after staying in the study for half an hour, everything else was fine, but her complexion was a little tired.

Seeing this, Mother Xi hurriedly said: "Madam, you should go and rest!" She was so tired, if she didn't rest, she would really have a premature birth. It can be said that from Yunqing's expedition to now, Mother Xi has never felt at ease.

Yu Xi nodded her head and said, "I'll go to rest after I've seen Uncle Huo." She was so exhausted that her body couldn't hold on anymore.

Mother Xi nodded and said, "Then I will go with Madam!" Huo Changqing lived in the inner courtyard, and it was only two steps away.

Huo Changqing was not asleep at this time, otherwise Yuxi wouldn't be able to disturb him. Yu Xi didn't avoid the people beside her, and said directly: "Uncle Huo, the Beiyao's attack is very fierce today, and more than 6,000 people have been killed or injured in one day. Besides, they are still attacking the city?"

Huo Changqing has stayed in Yucheng for more than ten years, and now he doesn't know the meaning of Yuxi's words. Immediately asked: "What happened?" Huo Changqing is much better now than before, and he can speak completely.

Yuxi said: "I guess, these Beiyao people are anxious to break through Yucheng now. It should be that they have no food and grass." Rui is on fire!" Other than this possibility, Yuxi couldn't figure out why these northern exiles had to attack the city overnight without taking casualties. And to be able to do this, Yuxi felt that except for Yunqing, she didn't think about it.

Huo Changqing felt that this might be a big deal: "If this is the case, then the Beiyao people will not be able to last for three days." If you can't eat enough, if you are hungry, there is no need to fight.

Yuxi hesitated, and said: "Uncle Huo, this is just my guess, without evidence." This matter is of great importance, once the guess is wrong and reported, it may bring immeasurable consequences.

Huo Changqing looked at Yuxi's pale face, and said, "I'll let Xu Wu handle this matter. Go and rest!"

Yuxi really couldn't stand it anymore, so she didn't try to be brave: "Uncle Huo, you should rest earlier!" Fortunately, Yuxi's physical foundation and her good mentality, otherwise, if she is so tossing around, the child will definitely have a hard time. Premature birth, how can it be safe and sound until now.

Back in the bedroom, Yu Xi was about to lie down. Mother Xi brought over a bowl of bird's nest porridge and said, "Ma'am, go to bed after eating the porridge!"

There is not much porridge, only half a bowl, and you will not be afraid of stone accumulation after eating. Yuxi ate the porridge in a few mouthfuls, then washed her face, and lay down to rest without taking a bath.

Mother Qu looked at Yuxi who fell asleep after lying down, and didn't know what to say. Those concubines in the palace have to be on guard against other people's plotting, and they are not as troublesome as her wife. Miraculously, the child is still safe and sound. I have to say that the child's vitality is really tenacious. (to be continued)
