Chapter 702

Chapter 703

Sheng Xi stood in the courtyard, staring at the people Wang Xiao had brought back.And among the four people who were rescued from the Tatar soldiers, after seeing Sheng Xi, one of them couldn't help but knelt down to her with a "pop".

Sheng Xi raised his eyebrows, turned his head and asked, "Zeng Zhe?"

"Yes! It's my subordinate!" Zeng Zhe said, kowtowing heavily to Sheng Xi, "Thank you, madam, for saving my life!"

If Sheng Xi hadn't sent someone out and happened to meet them again, I'm afraid they would have become the souls of the Tatar soldiers.

Sheng Xi blinked, looked at Zeng Zhe, who had a blaming face, and said, "Get up, what's going on with you guys, tell me?"

"Yes!" Zeng Zhe stood up, glanced at Sheng Xi quickly and quickly lowered his eyes. For a moment, he was a little embarrassed to look at Sheng Xi.It’s really shameless to see Sheng Xi.

What he regrets now is that he just wants to grab the ground with his head. When Sheng Xi told him the news about Qingzhou South Marsh, he promised the other party swornly and indeed brought the news to General Huo.Unfortunately, the news was brought over, but General Huo refused to believe it.And because he actually didn't believe the news in his heart, he just admonished him once and said nothing more.If only he could say it a few more times, if, if...

With this deep self-blame, Zeng Zhe told Sheng Xi the ins and outs of Qingzhou's fall. After hearing this, Sheng Xi did not say anything about Huo Shao's absurdity. Instead, he said to him: "Brother Zeng, you have done what you should do." There is no need to blame yourself for what you did.”

Zeng Zhe suddenly raised his head and looked at Sheng Xi with a look of shock and panic: "Miss Sheng... no, madam..."

Sheng Xi pursed her lips lightly and said, "It's okay to call me Miss Sheng."

Zeng Zhe said "Ah", but at this moment he couldn't say the word "Miss Sheng".

Sheng Xi said no more, just looked down at the map under his hand, and when he looked up again, he suddenly asked Zeng Zhe: "Brother Zeng, I am short of scouts here. Are you willing to stay and help me?"

Zeng Zhe was excited when he heard this and said without even thinking: "I do!" After a pause, he added, "Zeng Zhe is willing to go through fire and water for his wife, no matter what!"

Sheng Xi nodded: "Okay, that's it...Zeng Zhe!" Sheng Xi suddenly shouted.

Zeng Zhe straightened his back and responded: "My subordinate is here!"

Sheng Xi looked at him and said word by word: "I order you to take one person outside the city tomorrow at five o'clock to explore the Tatar army's defense. You must return before Chen time!"

Zeng Zhe solemnly performed a military salute towards Sheng Xi, and at the same time said loudly: "Yes! I obey your orders!"

Afterwards, Sheng Xi arranged for the people to follow Zeng Zhe, and then asked them to rest quickly.Only Wang Xiao and a few people were left in the same place.

When Zeng Zhe and the others were completely gone, Wang Xiao couldn't hold back and took the lead in cursing: "Damn it, this Huo Shao is such a bastard!"

Huo Shao has not yet been dismissed from his post, so Wang Xiao's scolding is considered the following crime.But he really couldn't bear it. A dignified general took his concubine into the military camp when his family and country were in trouble!Forget about the romance, the key point is that he didn't even find out the identity of the concubine, and even revealed important military information to the other party.This Huo Shao, how on earth did he come up with such a way to commit suicide!
Seeing him like this, the people on the side subconsciously tried to stop him. At the same time, they quickly glanced at Sheng Xi, fearing that Wang Xiao's nonsense would affect Sheng Xi.

However, Sheng Xi took the initiative and said, "Well, this General Huo is indeed a bastard."

The person who wanted to persuade Wang Xiao said: "..." OK, since their new leader doesn't care...

So the next moment, almost everyone followed Wang Xiao and began to curse Huo Shao angrily.

After scolding for a full quarter of an hour, Sheng Xi saw that everyone's anger had dissipated, and then he spoke again: "Huo Shao must be unkind this time. It's just that the emperor doesn't know which general he wants to re-accept, but no matter who it is, , we always have to contact the main force first."

Hundreds of people defending a dilapidated city may sound heroic, but it is actually too difficult and too miserable to do so.If they can find reinforcements, they can suffer fewer casualties and have more chance of survival.

Sheng Xi said: "Now we have to find a way to get rid of the group of flies blocking the gate. The road will be smooth and the risk will be less when we go out in the future."

When Wang Xiao and others heard this, they all sat upright and said to Sheng Xi, "But it depends on my wife's orders!"

Sheng Xi lowered his eyes slightly, and when he raised his head again, he said to Wang Xiao: "Before Zeng Zhe comes back with the news tomorrow, I need to add 500 people to the labor force. Wang Xiao, can you do it?"

Wang Xiao asked: "Madam, are you asking them to fight? But the people in the city are inexperienced. If they go to the battlefield, then..." Wouldn't that mean they would be killed?

Sheng Xi said: "Don't worry, we won't let them go to the battlefield, just let them help with some things."

When Wang Xiao heard this, he immediately stopped asking and just said: "Yes! Madam, don't worry, I will have all the people in place!"

"Well, I will ask Xin Ru to assist you then." Sheng Xi said, "In addition, since you want to make something, you will need materials. Zhang Chen, I will make a list for you in a while. You can take people to the city to ask, and be sure to Borrow something! Remember, it is a loan! If you borrow something, you must return it. If you cannot return the original thing in the future, you will pay it with silver. Use Mr. Qian’s official seal, plus my personal seal!"

Zhang Chen was stunned, and subconsciously turned his head to look at Wang Xiao and the others, and saw that they were all as surprised as he was.

I don't blame them for this. In fact, they have never done this before.

borrow?Rather than expropriating without compensation?They have always been the latter...

"Everything of the common people is earned through hard work, why should you take it for nothing?" Sheng Xi seemed to understand their doubts, and said, "And we come from the people, if we can't even protect ourselves, then why should we?" stand right here!"

These two simple words made Wang Xiao and others feel hot on their faces, and at the same time they couldn't help but feel enlightened, and felt an indescribable feeling of relief in their hearts.It seems that, in fact, deep down in their hearts, they have always agreed with Sheng Xi's statement, but no one has ever said it out loud.Even Qian Zhenfu, who always loved the people, never said this.

Everyone suppressed the faint excitement and responded: "Everything depends on Madam!"

Then Sheng Xi arranged some other matters, and then let them disperse to do their own things.And she herself returned to the map that was brought out by Qian Zhenfu and was stained with blood and stood still.

However, before she lowered her head to look, an eagle roar suddenly came from above her head. It was Xueyuan who had returned from the capital.

Sheng Xi walked out of the room and looked up to see Xueyuan spiraling down.She stretched out her arm to catch it, and before Xueyuan could fall, she saw with sharp eyes that there was a sachet tied to his other unsupported bamboo foot.
