Chapter 608 Before the Storm
许州
The situation was always tense, and Chai Rong couldn't sleep all night.But the defenders Fan Zhi and Dou Yi slept soundly. Zong Xin said that Murong Yanchao would not attack and did not dare to attack. They firmly believed in Zong Xin's words, and the facts also proved that Murong Yanchao did not This courage, they eat well and sleep well, only Chai Rong is worried.

As the two cities confront each other, Murong Yanchao will occasionally launch a tentative attack, but it is only a small battle with a few hundred people, and they have retreated almost before reaching the city. The [-] troops in Xuzhou West City are the only thing they can do other than drill. The thing is to find a place to warm up and drink.

Such a cold day is really rare, because in the southern climate like Xuzhou, you can't see snow all year round, but this winter, the streets were blocked by heavy snow, not to mention fighting, even marching is difficult.

But at some point, the sky stopped snowing, the snow on the ground gradually melted, and the temperature rose.This matter made Chai Rong even more worried. He thought that Zong Xin's mana had run out, and now that Xuzhou had returned to its original climate, it would be troublesome if that was the case. What if Murong Yanchao called?
Chai Rong knew very well that the walls and gates of the west city of Xuzhou were made of bean curd dregs, which were built quickly and had limited defense.Attacking other cities may require ladders to climb the city walls, but it is really not necessary to attack the west city of Xuzhou. A group of people can pile down the city walls with a little force.

Of course, Chai Rong was a little bit more worried.Even if the city wall is a tofu project, it would not be so fragile, but the height of the city wall is really not very good, and it has been built with all its strength. If it weren't for Lei Hong's financial support, there might not even be such a city wall.

At this time, Chai Rong was standing on the city wall, looking at the main city of Xuzhou in the east from a distance.The enemy who killed his wife and brother was there, but he couldn't launch an attack, instead he had to worry about his invasion.Chai Rong was gnashing his teeth in anger. In just over two months, Chai Rong was obviously older, and some white hairs appeared on his head.

He didn't know when this pain would end, but he knew very well that the current Xuzhou was waiting for Zong Xin and his adoptive father to return, and as long as they returned to Xuzhou again, it was time to attack.Defeating Li Jing and capturing Murong Yanchao alive is just around the corner.

Although Chai Rong doesn't like Zong Xin very much, his ability is certain.Chai Rong believed that Weizhou would definitely win, and they would return to Xuzhou when the Khitan retreated in the early spring. At that time, Murong Yanchao must pay the price, cut off his body bit by bit to feed the dog, and then kill the dog Eat meat, so that you can relieve your hatred.

Chai Rong didn't know why, but every time he thought of Zong Xin, he felt angry.I always feel that his big bald head makes people look uncomfortable. If possible, I really hope he wears a wig.There is also his younger brother Tianya, who became a little monk after joining Zongxin's sect, and his little bald head makes him angry.

Chai Rong is not crazy, he knows that he is sick, and whenever he sees a bald head, he will have a strong killing intent.But there is one exception, and that is children.Chai Rong would not have such killing intent when he saw a child without hair, even if the child had no hair on his head.

At this time, Lei Fang and Fan Zhi were playing on the city wall with their son who was less than one year old. Lei Hailong was already 8 months old. Lei Fang was not in a hurry to let him learn to walk, but carried Lei Hailong from the city wall to the distance. Overlooking, Lei Hailong likes the crenelation of the city wall very much, and dances happily every time.

Fan Zhi walked slowly to Chai Rong's side, and then said softly, "Prince Jin, are you still worried? It's been more than two months, and I told you that Murong Yanchao wouldn't call, you just don't believe me. Worry for nothing." It’s been a few months, isn’t it? See how thin you have become? You should go back and rest, eat something and have a good sleep. If you collapse, what should Xuzhou City do?”

"Don't worry, my body is not bad, and I don't fall down so easily." Chai Rong said: "Lei Hailong really likes this kind of thing, and he is happy every time he comes. He must be a great general in the future."

"Hahahaha~ kid, he just likes this kind of novelty, can he be unhappy when he looks at such a high place?" Fan Zhi said: "But the old saying is good, resentment becomes father and son, debt turns into husband and wife, this kid and I don't kiss. Every time I hug him, I'm not happy, but his mother is very happy. I've grown up so much, I haven't hugged him a few times, and their surname Lei annoys me."

Chai Rong asked curiously: "By the way, there is one thing I have been holding back in my heart. Why is your son named Lei instead of Fan?"

Fan Zhi was ashamed and said: "There is no way, Lei Hong's martial arts are too high. He stipulated that this child must have his surname, what can I do? I can't strangle this child to death just because grandpa gave his son the surname Lei." .At any rate, it’s my own, so I can’t do it. Besides...if I dare to touch a single hair of this child, Lei Hong will definitely cut me to pieces.”

"That's true." Chai Rong said: "Lei Hong is a bit of a bully. The child doesn't have the father's and mother's surnames, but that's okay. If I can exchange so many reinforcements and supplies by changing my son's surname, I would rather sell it. My son's surname. All the [-] generals in Xuzhou eat rice and drink from Lei Hong, and drink from Lei Hong. Maybe it’s helping others to raise so many soldiers for nothing.”

"Do you think Lei Hong is really willing to give it? Not... Master Zong Xin asked, who do you think is the most profitable person in the business of Master Zong Xin in Yandao? The money has nothing to do with Lei Hong, it is all Zong Xin Master's money." Fan Zhi felt that he was a little quick-spoken and almost missed it. He originally wanted to say that it was all thanks to his brother-in-law Zong Xin, who was the only person in the entire Leiwang Mansion who gave him good looks.

Everyone in Lei Wang's Mansion hated Fan Zhi, including Lei Tianxiao and Lei Tianxin.Because Lei Fang is the only girl in Lei Wang's mansion, she is loved by thousands of people. Everyone thought that she could find a husband with strong martial arts, a tall figure, a handsome appearance, but Fan Zhi's whole body was very ordinary, because his martial arts were too ordinary. That's it... Then find a retainer in Lei Wang's mansion and you can kill him a hundred times.

It's a pity that Lei Fang just likes Fan Zhi, and I don't know if there is water in her head. How could she fall in love with an ordinary person like Fan Zhi?Even Lei Tianxiao, who has the best temper in the entire Leiwang Mansion, has never given Fan Zhi a good look.

Lei Tianxiao is the kind who usually doesn't like to talk, but when he meets acquaintances, he will talk endlessly.Although he is indifferent on the outside, he is very enthusiastic and wants to help anyone who is in trouble.

Lei Tianxiao's personality is actually very good, whether as a friend or a lover, he is absolutely top-notch, and he can even be said to be a silent and warm man.Only Fan Zhi got angry when he saw him, Lei Tianxiao never figured out why his dear sister fell in love with him, could it be because he was blind?
The same is true for Lei Tianxin, who was brought up by his elder sister since he was a child, because the women around Lei Hong kept changing, even the woman who gave birth to a child was just an accessory to Lei Hong, and had no value at all. None of the children knew who their own mother was, Lei Fang was like an adult to Lei Tianxin, and he respected and loved her very much.

Lei Tianxin likes his sister very much, and his expectation for her is to marry a hero of the world.Fan Zhi completely shattered Lei Tianxin's dream of his brother-in-law. Fan Zhi's martial arts were not much different from Lei Tianxin's. His attitude is also very bad.

Fan Zhi is the most wronged, he has done nothing wrong, and he is very clear that no matter who Lei Fang marries, the people in Lei Wangfu will always treat him like this, unless it is Zong Xin who can't pick out the first person in the world. Two talents, otherwise Lei Hong would never be satisfied with this son-in-law.

But there are very few people like Zong Xin, and they may not be able to see Lei Fang.So Lei Fang will definitely marry someone who is absolutely dissatisfied with Lei Wangfu.Fan Zhi just caught up with this kind of family and he couldn't help it.For Fan Zhi, he will only look at himself when he works hard to make himself equal to Lei Hongping.

Looking at the [-] troops in the west city of Xuzhou, Fan Zhi knew that if he could always control the [-] troops, Lei Hong's attitude towards him would change.But it is a pity that apart from the emperor, only the right minister is eligible to mobilize such a force, and even the Minister of the Ministry of War does not have this qualification.

So Fan Zhi has only two paths, either to rebel and proclaim himself emperor, or to work hard.Although Fan Zhi never wanted to take advantage of Lei Fang's relationship and not use any of Lei Wangfu's resources, it ended up like this in the end. If it wasn't for the protection in the name of Lei Wangfu, Xuzhou West City might not be able to survive at all.

"Sometimes people just want to be subdued, just like me. I have always been high-spirited and upright, and I have decided not to spend a penny from Lei Hong, and I don't need any resources from Lei Hong's mansion. What? If it wasn't for King Lei's Mansion, I would have died long ago." Fan Zhi sighed.

Regarding this point, Chai Rong was also very depressed.Lei Hong has always been an anti-personnel, but when a crisis is really encountered, those righteous people are like turtles, and only Lei Hong helps with all his strength.

Chai Rong knew that the troops of King Lei's Mansion were used to confront Zhao Clan, Zhao Jing was ambitious and had long been disobedient, as long as King Lei's Mansion dared to act recklessly, Zhao Clan would turn against him.So this time, the Leiwang Mansion can only provide full support in terms of military pay and food, but this is already a great kindness.Raising [-] troops in the west city of Xuzhou for nothing, this kind of consumption is not something ordinary people can afford, and the Leiwang Mansion is very low-key, and they don't even want anyone to know that they are delivering food and grass to the front line, and they don't want to be named after doing a good deed...

"Having said that, I am still a little worried about concentrating all the troops in Xuzhou. I don't know if Weizhou can hold it. Although I was happy for a while when I received the battle report for the first time, I finally fell asleep. I feel at ease after a few games, but the longer the time drags on, the more worried I become." Chai Rong was originally a person who liked to worry, but the current situation made him have to worry, Weizhou is related to the safety of the whole world, I hope Master Zong Xin can Work a miracle, or...it's all over.
