Exile opening: I won with the Universal Maker

"Ha chirp!"

Even though there was a burning bonfire in front of him, Shen Yuexi sneezed loudly.

She was wrapped in a large woolen blanket, and her wet hair was still dripping on her cheeks.Sitting in front of the fire were a few toothless old women and a middle-aged woman. They all looked at her with caring eyes, and from time to time they smiled and whispered a few words in Xirong. what is it.

It's really unlucky, I have already seen the city wall of Langya Pass, why did I fall into the water.

At that time, the boat was so close to the shore, she thought she could jump ashore easily, but who knew that when she stepped on the boat with her feet, she jumped ten centimeters... in front of so many people who greeted her... slapped into the water with a plop.

No wonder everyone on the shore waved their hands and shouted in panic when they saw her gesturing to jump.

It's a pity that she can't understand Xirong language.

Anyway, she couldn't communicate with those old women. She said to Xiao Zhuo angrily, "It's all your fault. Seeing that I fell, you didn't give me a hand."

Xiao Zhuo was flipping the roast leg of lamb on the bonfire, and said with a smile: "I was stopping the boat at that time, I didn't know you..."

"Don't make excuses, don't make excuses," Shen Yuexi wiped her itchy nose with the back of her hand angrily, "It's your fault!"

Although the man picked her up right away, the responsibility was his.

Xiao Zhuo raised one hand to express his surrender, and with his right hand, he sliced ​​off a large piece of meat from the hot roast leg of lamb, put it on a plate and handed it to him:
"I apologize."

Shen Yuexi stretched out her hand to take the plate with a smile on her face: "It's not too bad, here are two more slices."

I have eaten fish for two days. Although the grilled fish is delicious, I will get tired of eating too much.On land, I can finally change my taste.

The mutton is roasted brown, the skin is crispy, and the aroma is tangy. Chew it in your mouth, and you will feel satisfied instantly.

While she was feasting, the hooves of war horses and the bleating of sheep could be heard in the distance.Dozens of military horses scattered a large group of lambs that looked like cotton balls on the road, passed through the shadows cast by the heavy tents, and rushed here along the winding road, followed by a carriage.

After seeing the face of the person who came, Shen Yuexi put down the plate and jumped up happily: "It's Qiang Lin!"

She felt that Qiang Lin escorting Shen Lan was not as fast as she and Xiao Zhuo, but she did not expect them to arrive first.

Qiang Lin came to the front, stopped his mount and jumped off, first saluted the middle-aged woman, and said a few words in Xirong language, the middle-aged woman nodded with a smile, and signaled to Shen Yuexi with her eyes.

"Master, it's great that you can return safely." Qiang Lin faced Shen Yuexi again, and knelt down on one knee to salute.

"We're all fine, this is..." Shen Yuexi looked at the middle-aged woman.

"My mother, she sent people into the city to inform that our benefactor has returned, but it is inconvenient to move..." Qiang Lin glanced at Shen Yuexi's wet hair, "The subordinates immediately went out of the city to meet him."

Shen Yuexi blushed and said, "It's nothing serious, I just accidentally fell into the water."

Saying goodbye to everyone, Xiao Zhuo and Qiang Lin rode horses, while Shen Yuexi came to the carriage.

The car door opened, and Yang Cong leaned forward and grabbed the door handle, revealing his dark face and bright eyes: "Mistress, get in the car, I'm in a hurry."

"Yang Cong is here too." Shen Yuexi happily got into the car, feeling great to be home.

She sat in the car, and Yang Cong handed over the handkerchief: "The mistress wipes her hair, why is her whole body drenched. Although it's time for spring plowing, the weather is not warm yet, so don't catch a cold."

"Hey, I wanted to jump from the boat to the shore," Shen Yuexi took the handkerchief and wiped her hair, "I fell into the water."

"Mistress, how can you jump straight away? Either let the boatman hook the pile on the shore with a hook, or wait for someone to build a gangplank for you." Yang Cong laughed after hearing this, "If you jump straight away, the boat will go backwards. , can’t jump far at all.”

"Understood," Shen Yuexi pretended to be angry and put down the veil, "If you dare to laugh at me, let's see how I treat you."

After speaking, she stretched out her hands to scratch Yang Cong's itch.

Xiao Zhuo and Qiang Lin rode at the front, and when they heard the laughter coming from the carriage behind, Xiao Zhuo also smiled slightly.

Qiang Lin said: "King Zhao, I have some bad news. I am very happy to see my master, so I dare not tell him..."

Xiao Zhuo frowned, and said, "But it's okay."

"The army of the Second Prince Dayan has already occupied Xiaogang Village, and is now about to attack Langya Pass."

"The Second Prince's army is going to attack Langya Pass?" Xiao Zhuo thought for a while, "Is it for food and grass?"

Qiang Lin looked surprised: "King Zhao just arrived, how do you know?"

Xiao Zhuo said slowly: "Food and grass are the life of the army. The Second Prince's army was anxious to go to Beijing, but stopped halfway to attack the Langya pass. It could only be for food and grass."

It turned out that when the Second Prince's army left Liangzhou, Xiao Beiheng had just received Xiao Kai's army, and had not yet arranged for food supplies.The second prince is not like Xiao Zhuo, he has no experience in leading troops.In a hurry to go to Beijing, he looted various villages and towns along the way.People from many other villages and towns ran to Xiaogang Village with food and hid inside the city wall.The residents of Xiaogang Village knew that the army was coming, so they also transported all the food to the city.

The second prince learned that there was a large amount of food in the city of Langya Pass, enough to support the entire army, so he issued an ultimatum to Lizheng in Xiaogang Village, demanding that all the food be handed over within three days.Otherwise, break through the city wall and kill all the people in the city.

Lizheng was at a loss. If the food was handed over, the people who fled from the west and the residents of Xiaogang Village would all starve to death.

If you resist, the walls of Langfang Pass have been built, but there is no guarding army.Only the hundreds of iron-faced troops left by Xiao Zhuo and the 3000 troops left by Shen Yuexi, the total number is less than [-].And the second prince's army occupying Xiaogang Village is [-], more than ten times their size.

Today is the third day of the ultimatum.It is noon now, and there is still half a day left, and the second prince's army will attack in the early morning of tomorrow.

"It's simply unreasonable," Shen Yuexi slapped the table angrily after hearing Li Zheng's statement, "Fortunately, he is still the second prince, and he robbed the people all the way, so he is no different from a robber."

Feng Zhang stood by the side, wagging his legs unceasingly, and stammered: "Mistress, according to my humble opinion, let's hand over the food."

It was the first time he saw the size of an army of [-] since he left the customs. He almost peed his pants in fright, and Yang Cong despised him enough.

Yang Cong grabbed him and said, "The lord and mistress are back, what are you afraid of, don't shake the morale of the army here."

Shen Yuexi said to Li Zheng: "My husband has already gone to prepare the army, Li Zheng, you should stop burning incense and worshiping gods in the city."

As soon as she entered the city, she could smell the smell of incense everywhere. People who didn't know it thought they had gone to some religious holy place.After a closer look, Lizheng moved the temple in Xiaogang village square to the city, where two statues of gods were enshrined.

Li Zheng opened his panda eyes wide and said, "The princess has forgotten that there are gods guarding this place. We worshiped for two days and two nights, and the gods sent His Royal Highness and you back. We will worship for a few more days... "

Shen Yuexi was speechless.

These common people recognized that there are gods here, and after the word spread, more and more people came here, and now there are more than 2 people in the city.If it grows any further, this place will really be a town rather than a village.

She didn't intend to explain to the old stubborn Li Zheng, first she went to visit her sister Shen Lan, and then accompanied by Feng Zhang and Yang Cong, she climbed up the south city wall and looked towards Xiaogang Village in the south.

As Li Zheng said, the entire Xiaogang Village has been occupied by the Second Prince's [-] army.The houses in Xiaogang Village are densely covered with banners and soldiers in armor can be seen everywhere.

Without food and grass, this army may not leave easily.
