At that time, Shen Zhi was wearing a bamboo hat, happily watching the scenery on the tower - Jiang Heng couldn't see it, he couldn't find the original bamboo hat, so he took the time to make a new one, and told Shen Zhi to remember to wear it when he went out.

In this way, the sun can be blocked, and Shen Zhi's face can be seen by irrelevant people, killing two birds with one stone.

Jiang Heng was very satisfied.

However, Shen Zhi had a little opinion: "Well, can I not..."

Jiang Heng said lightly: "It's fine if you don't wear it, I can keep you from getting out of bed every day."

Shen Zhi choked for a moment, blushed a little, held back for a while, and said: "Your Highness, you are really getting more and more rascal."

The scenery on the top of the city tower is excellent, and the end of the distance cannot be seen at a glance. It is vast and far away. After looking at it for a while, I feel that my state of mind seems to be more open.

Really never get tired of it.

The guards above are also used to Shen Zhi coming and strolling here and there. Although the city tower is a little dangerous from time to time, they haven't seen this weak-looking young man get hurt. On the contrary, they can help them from time to time. Let him see, anyway, General Du has also explained it.

After watching from the tower for a while, suddenly he saw a group of dozens of cavalry rapidly approaching in the distance.Shen Zhi originally thought that it was the herdsmen who sent people to harass him again, but after a closer look, it didn't seem to be the case.

The people on the tower who had drawn their bows to shoot arrows also noticed something was wrong. Someone took a closer look and was overjoyed: "It's Guo Shoubei!"

This remark immediately stirred up a thousand waves, and there was a moment of commotion on the city tower. Mu Zhuo reprimanded a few words before calming down a little, but there were still people who couldn't restrain their excitement and whispered.

"Guo Shoubei is not dead!"

"I just said, how could Guo Shoubei die!"

"Why did so few people come back..."

"It's good to be back, it's good to be back..."

Shen Zhi's attention was distracted by the excited soldiers around him, he turned to look at them, feeling puzzled.

Immediately, the city gate was opened below, allowing the team of people to enter the city.

Mu Bi asked everyone to be quiet, but he himself was also a little excited.But they were assigned to guard on the city tower, and they could not leave their posts without permission, and could only watch the team enter the city helplessly.

Shen Zhi became more and more curious: "Vice General Mu, who is that Guo Shoubei?"

"A rookie who has just joined the army." Mu Yan said, "He is good at fighting. General Yu saw his potential and promoted him several times. General Yu has always been like this, whoever has the ability, how much ability, does what."

Shen Zhi smiled: "Really? Then why are everyone so excited?"

"He is funny, bears hardships and stands hard work. He takes the lead every time he fights. He is very popular with everyone." Mu Yan looked at the team going away again, and sighed, "Master Shen, before you come to Yulan City, they are patrolling outside the city." , and for some reason, the entire group disappeared..."

Shen Zhi was puzzled, seeing that Mu Wei couldn't explain clearly for a moment, he stopped asking questions in a timely manner, and became more and more curious about this Guo Shoubei in his heart.

After thinking for a while, a thunderstorm flashed through his mind, and he realized something was wrong, so he simply asked Mu Wei: "Vice General Mu, is there a Qianhu named Qi Lu here?"

Mu Bian was at a loss for a moment, then shook his head: "No, I know them all, not even a single person surnamed Qi."

Shen Zhi was a little disappointed, but still nodded his head to express his understanding.

This border gate is not the only one. Maybe Qi Lv has been transferred to other places. He has been here for so long, and he occasionally asks people, and wanders around the city without meeting anyone. It is also expected.

Just as Shen Zhi was thinking, the cavalry team of the herdsmen came.

This time it was brought by that cockroach again.

It's a pity that there is an open and flat area below, and you can see everything at a glance. Otherwise, as long as there are people ambushing around, no matter how many people from the herdsmen dare to come, they will have to fall.

In the past month, Shen Zhi also saw Wuwu many times on the tower, and once again frowned to dodge Wuwu's arrow, wondering if this guy still has a crush on him, every time he comes, he shoots him twice first arrow.

He dodged the arrow, looked down, and saw that Wuwu seemed to be laughing, seeing that he lowered his head, he even applauded slowly, as if praising his agility.

Shen Zhi raised his eyebrows, borrowed a bow and arrow from a soldier next to him, drew the bow and shot the arrow, all in one go.

Feather arrow flew over with a whoosh, and Wu Wu leaned over to dodge, but the feather arrow still brushed his temples, and if his eyesight was extraordinary, he could still see a strand of shaved temple hair.

Wu Wu grabbed the arrow with his backhand, and the rain of arrows poured down from the tower, and the people around him immediately set up shields to block it.After the round of arrow rain passed, Wuwu ran out again on his own initiative, took the arrow and raised it, put it into his quiver, and then quickly retreated.

Mu Yan choked for a moment, then shook his head like crazy, paused for a while, and sighed: "I almost missed it just now!"

Shen Zhi just smiled and said nothing, he knew in his heart that it would be impossible to kill Wu Wu so easily, but he just wanted to fight back after being watched for a long time.

But Wu Wu's response made him really confused.

After blowing the wind for a while, it's time to go back.

Shen Zhi said goodbye to Mu Bian, and walked down the tower slowly.

On the way back, Shen Zhi ran into that "Guo Shoubei".

The two faced each other, looking at each other.

After a while, it was Shen Zhi who came to his senses first, he also heard someone calling this "Guo Shoubei" just now, so he also smiled and said: "Guo Shoubei, don't come here without any problems."

The latter also woke up from the initial stupefaction, and excitedly wanted to say something, but also realized that there were too many people around him, so he simply pulled Shen Zhi and ran directly to his resting place.

When he reached the ground, his eyes widened: "My mother, Mr. Shen, why did you come here for a stroll?"

Shen Zhi had a half smile but not a smile: "Of course I came to see Guo Shoubei."

"..." Qi Lu was speechless, "Come on, you can stop entertaining me."

Shen Zhi sat down and propped his chin: "I said, Qi Lu, why did you even change your surname when you came out to join the army?"

"If you don't change my name, once my father asks your father to do a little research, he will be able to arrest me." Qi Lu mumbled, rummaged through the room for a while, and said, "There is only wine, no tea, Do you drink water?"

Shen Zhi: "...no way."

Qi Lv poured a bowl of wine by himself and drank it down in one gulp.

Shen Zhi took advantage of this time to look at him, Mr. Yuan was also a handsome young man in the middle of the capital, Mr. Qi, but after a few months at the border, he was so dark that he couldn't describe it.He took off the bamboo hat, thinking that Jiang Heng should come and see Qi Lu.He has only been in the sun for half a month, which means he is not as white as before, so how dark can he go?

On the other hand, Qi Lv, if he hadn't been familiar with this bad friend, he would feel familiar when he walked towards him, and after looking carefully for a while, he wouldn't be able to recognize who it was.

He smiled for a while, and said, "Uncle Qi has read that letter."

Qi Lu raised his eyebrows: "I thought he would just tear up the letter."

Shen Zhi said: "What did you write? Uncle's eyes are red."

Qi Lu was taken aback, and after a while, he said dully "nothing", then sat down and looked at the bamboo hat beside Shen Zhi, "Tell me, why did you come here? This is not what you should be doing place."

"Sacred orders are hard to break." Shen Zhi finished with a smile, his expression serious, his tone still unhurried, "What happened? I heard that Guo Shoubei had been missing for a long time, and now that he has returned, everyone is jumping and cheering."

Qi Lu immediately squeezed the cup tightly, his face darkened, he collected his words for a while, and said: "...I, a month ago, took people out of the city to patrol around. Because it is not too far away from the city, people will not be too far away. Well, we were patrolling outside the city for a while, and we ran into a scout in the army, there was a group of herdsman cavalry not far in front of the road, and there was no backup, it seemed that we had experienced a fight, and we hid nearby to catch our breath."

Then Qi Lu sent people to the city to ask for help, so as not to worry about the future, he immediately took people there.

Who knew that he bumped into a cavalry of thousands of people.

Apart from wolves, the most terrifying thing on the grasslands is the herdsman cavalry.

There is no doubt that Qi Lu almost wiped out his entire army, and he fled in embarrassment for so long before returning to the city alive.

The experience of more than a month was horrible, Qi Lu never wanted to recall this hell-like month again, rubbed his forehead: "...It's all me, too reckless...It's all my fault. There are some specific matters , it’s not easy to mention it to you, so please bear with me.”

Shen Zhi didn't care about this, he frowned and asked, "Where's the scout and the person who went to ask for help?"

"As you imagined, when I came back today, I didn't find them in the army."

"Someone wants to kill you?" Shen Zhi's face was calm, but his voice was deep.He doesn't have many friends, but Qi Lu is one.

Qi Lu grinned: "I'm promoted quickly, so it's normal for some people to dislike it. Of course, it may also be the secret work of the herdsmen in the army."

Seeing that Shen Zhi was still frowning, Qi Lu waved his hand again: "Come on, don't think about it. It's so easy to meet once, and I was also suspended to face the wall. Let's just have a drink—just have a drink with me."

Shen Zhi looked at him and nodded.

Qi Lu took a few sips of wine, and said surprisingly: "Just now I went to see General Yu, and saw General Du came back, and His Highness King Zhao. Jinghe, you actually came down with His Highness Zhao, right?"

Shen Zhi raised his glass for a moment, then said softly: "What do you think?"

"It's fine if you're happy." Qi Lu didn't care, the two looked at each other tacitly and smiled.

He drank two cups with Qi Lu, who had escaped from death, and Shen Zhi calmly comforted him. Seeing that Qi Lu suddenly lay down on the table and covered his face, his shoulders shrugged, he gently put down the glass and remained silent. walked out, closing the door.

Qi Lu was also the one who had broken teeth and swallowed blood in his stomach. He himself had a feeling, instead of sitting there, it would be better to let Qi Lu be quiet by himself.

After pretending to be relaxed for so long, it's time to cry.

Went outside the house to blow the wind for a while, Shen Zhi woke up, went back to the house and slept for a while, when Jiang Heng woke up sitting beside him, he was about to feed him hangover soup.

He leaned over and hugged Jiang Heng's waist, pillowed on his lap, eyes dimly: "I just had two drinks, no need."

Jiang Heng looked at his slightly drunken expression, still picked him up, and slowly fed him the hangover soup, as if he was taking care of a child, and enjoyed it so much.After Shen Zhi drank it, he said: "Have you seen Mr. Qi?"

Shen Zhi nodded.

Jiang Heng also heard about what happened, so he didn't want to be jealous, he played with Shen Zhi's hair, and said: "Qi Lu brought a piece of news."

Shen Zhi knew that these [-] achievements were a secret that Qi Lu was hesitant to reveal, so he raised his hand to cover Jiang Heng's mouth, and murmured: "If it's a secret, don't tell it. I understand."

"It's not a secret." Jiang Heng pulled his hand away and kissed it on his lips, "Qi Lu should tell you roughly what happened."

Shen Zhi was itchy by his delicate kiss, retracted his hands, and nodded.The corners of Jiang Heng's lips curled up, and he said: "It is almost impossible for 100 people to escape against thousands of herdsmen cavalry. They got the help of one person."

"Who?"

"He didn't identify himself, but it can be guessed that he should be a member of a relatively large tribe of the shepherds."

"Then helping Qi Lu and the others, wouldn't it be a betrayal of the alliance of the herdsmen?" Shen Zhi was a little curious.

The herdsmen tribes are of different sizes, it would be fine if they were a unified large tribe, but now it is naturally impossible for one tribe alone to compete with Chengcang.Therefore, the various tribes of the herdsmen swore blood to form alliances, and I heard that they all swore poisonous oaths based on their own beliefs.

Faith is extremely important in the grassland herdsmen.Every herdsman believes in something under the influence of the tribe, maybe it's a totem, maybe it's just a lake, it might be, but it's as important as life.

Jiang Heng was also a little puzzled, ravaged Shen Zhi's hair for a while, couldn't figure out who it could be, shook his head: "Anyway, since I did that, it wouldn't be out of pure kindness. When the time comes, I will Out."

Shen Zhi nodded and looked at the sky: "It's not evening yet, are you okay today?"

"I've done everything I need to do, and I'm here to accompany you."

Jiang Heng's eyes were gentle, and it made Shen Zhi feel more itchy. He threw Jiang Heng onto the bed, comfortably pillowed it on his chest, and lazily said, "Today I saw a bird again on the tower, like It's like targeting me, shooting arrows at me every time."

Jiang Heng frowned, he really didn't want Shen Zhi to hang around in such a dangerous place, but he couldn't restrict Shen Zhi's freedom too much, his eyes were full of disapproval.

Shen Zhi also understood his mood, so he comforted him, saying: "This time I shot an arrow back, but he put away the arrow. Does the shepherd know any witchcraft?"

Shen Zhi thought wildly, could it be that he wanted to use the arrow he touched to make a trick or something?

When Jiang Heng heard this, his face changed slightly.

Shen Zhi was puzzled: "What's wrong?"

Jiang Heng's voice sounded like he was gnashing his teeth: "He took your arrow?"

"...Hmm." Shen Zhi was a little timid, touched Jiang Heng's face, offered a kiss again, and said vaguely, "Didn't you accept something else from me, why is your tone so scary?"

Jiang Heng had a much greater chance of getting in touch with the Muzu and other soldiers than Shen Zhi, and naturally heard more gossip - such as the customs of some tribes of the Muzu.

For example, at the end of each year, the Latalda tribe will sacrifice a newborn baby alive, which is appalling. There are also women in the Susaihan tribe who shoot arrows at men. If the man does not die, they put away the arrows as tokens of love... ...this kind.

Rumor has it that Wu Wu is a cold-blooded, cruel, narrow-minded person, he should...not do such a dangerous but inexplicably elegant thing.

Jiang Heng thought for a while with a gloomy face, seeing Shen Zhi's blank face, his heart settled down again.After thinking about it, even if it was true, so what, Shen Zhi was on the high wall, he could see it, but he couldn't feel it or touch it.

Feeling better, Jiang Heng turned over and pushed Shen Zhi down, checked his face, and said: "It's nothing. His face seems to be white again."

Hearing this, Shen Zhi touched his face subconsciously, and said in a low voice: "I'm not a little girl, why are you so delicate?"

"..." Jiang Heng couldn't tell what kind of psychology he was in, he felt sad when he saw that Shen Zhi was a little darker - it wasn't dark either, but compared to his white and tender appearance before, it was just a little darker.

Shen Zhi said: "Your Highness, so you only like my body."

Jiang Heng: "..."

Shen Zhi continued: "In that case..."

Jiang Heng said he was all ears.

Shen Zhi said: "Then let me press you for a while?"

Jiang Heng snorted, kissed him on the cheek, his voice softened, and said, "No."

***

Another half a month passed easily, and after the shepherds harassed them persistently, a group of real troops finally came.

Shen Zhi was ordered by Jiang Heng to stay in the house and was not allowed to go out - as the chief general, he would definitely go out to meet him.

Every time on the battlefield, life and death are uncertain, injuries are inevitable, and everything that is about to happen is not a small fight these days, this is a real siege battle.

Shen Zhi responded with a smile.

Jiang Heng is very familiar with Shen Zhi, knowing that he has answered his face, and will definitely follow him as soon as he leaves.He was silent for a moment, but he was still defeated, and said: "You can go to the tower and put on the inner armor, Ah Jiu and Liu Yu will follow you, be careful in everything."

Shen Zhi said: "Liu Liu Yu, Ah Jiu is with you. There is no discussion, let's go."

Jiang Heng knew a certain kind of stubbornness in Shen Zhi's bones, pressed him into his arms and kissed his lips, then turned and left.Shen Zhi went back to the room and put on the inner armor, Liu Yu waited outside the door, nodded at him, without saying a word.

During the year of waiting for Jiang Heng to return from the expedition, Shen Zhi also met many assassins, and occasionally cooperated with Liu Yu to deal with the assassins, the cooperation between the two was quite tacit.

Liu Liuyu is also because of this.

Shen Zhi calmed down and calmed down, he wanted to do something for Jiang Heng and the soldiers who stood guard on the tower day and night, even a small contribution.

The siege battle had already begun when they went up to the tower, and the ladder ropes were all over the city wall.Shen Zhi pulled out his sword, cut off a few ropes, helped a soldier pour hot oil, and stabbed the throat of the shepherd soldier who climbed up behind him with his backhand sword.

The whole movement was quick and neat, without any muddling.Liu Yu was stunned for a moment, she didn't expect Shen Zhi to adapt to this place so well.

The effect of often running up the towers also came out - Shen Zhi was familiar with every place, and could quickly judge where a group of herdsmen's soldiers would swarm.

Shen Zhi knew well that Jiang Heng would not allow him to go to the battlefield, and allowing him to go to the tower was his last line, so it is better to get more familiar with the environment.

It's not very safe on the city tower. The herdsmen soldiers climbing up continuously are one thing, and Liu Ya is also very dangerous.Fortunately, there was Liu Yu protecting him, after a while, Shen Zhi was still unscathed, even his hair was not messed up.

Shouting to kill Zhentian under the city tower, Shen Zhi took advantage of the time when he threw the boulder, and quickly glanced at the chaotic battlefield, wondering if Jiang Heng was naturally attracted to him, so he saw Jiang Heng at a glance.

Confronting Jiang Heng was Wu Wu wearing a mask.

Wu Wu is not an ordinary shepherd, he is highly skilled in martial arts, and Jiang Heng doesn't know if he can please him.

Shen Zhi took a light breath, told himself in his heart to trust Jiang Heng, and continued to raise his sword.Apart from worrying about Jiang Heng, there was no wave in his heart, no panic at all.

Several generations before Shen Weifeng, the Shen family were military generals, quite famous. Shen Weifeng used to be a general who led troops to fight, but later he abandoned martial arts and followed literature. He still had a good reputation in the army. Most of the army did not call him Shen Shangshu, but I call him General Shen.

Shen Zhi thought to himself, probably it was the blood inheritance flowing in his body.

Every battle would last for a long time, and at the end, Shen Zhi could only numbly repeat the action of raising his sword to kill people, his body and face were covered with blood, but none of it belonged to him.

The city tower is full of corpses, including herdsmen and Chengcang's guards.The boulders and logs were thrown, the boiling oil was poured, and the ladder was still being built, so they grabbed the corpses of the herdsmen and threw them down.

There were stumps and broken arms all over the ground, and rivers of blood flowed like hell on earth.Shen Zhi wiped the blood from his face, and when he continued to look, he saw that the person confronting Jiang Heng had changed, Yu Xun and Du Wen were also there.

But Wu Wu must not have died, otherwise the herdsmen would have withdrawn their troops long ago.

Shen Zhi was panting, and he didn't know how long it had been, his shoulders were a little sore.He looked at Jiang Heng for a while, and suddenly became aware that something was wrong, and immediately hid to the side, while Liu Yu also stood in front of him.

Shen Zhi heard soft hissing noises around him, he lightly pushed Liu Yu away, and saw the bird crawling up from nowhere.

This man is also bold, dare to climb up alone.Just now someone stepped forward to stop him, but he grabbed him and broke his neck.Several people rushed forward at the same time, and all of them were beheaded by the machete in his hand. He wiped off the blood on the scimitar, and walked calmly, as if entering a land without people.

The people around were frightened for a moment, and they involuntarily stepped back a few steps.

Shen Zhi intuited that the target of this person was himself. Thinking of the incident when he shot an arrow at him last time, he wondered if Wu Wu came up to take revenge—it was really narrow-minded, and he deserved to pay a huge price to capture the betrayer back and torture him alive dead character.

Wu Wu swaggered and approached Shen Zhi, Liu Yu wanted to stand in front of Shen Zhi again, but was stopped by Shen Zhi.He silently calculated in his heart when to draw the sword, and the dagger in his sleeve could strike Wu Wu unexpectedly.

Until Wuwu called him: "Hello, what's your name?"

Shen Zhi: "Wu Meng answered."

Wu Wu said: "A good name, in our language, means pure as water."

Shen Zhi said: "..." Made it up casually.

Brother, what are you doing here?

Shen Zhi was stunned for a moment, and Yan Wu suddenly stretched out his hand, Shen Zhi immediately drew out his sword, but was caught between two fingers of Yan Wu lightly.He took a closer look at Shen Zhi, a little disappointed: "So it's really not a woman. It doesn't matter."

Saying that, he threw something in his arms to Shen Zhi, and then fell off the city wall.He came and went as if no one was there, extremely arrogant, but no one could beat him.

Shen Zhi glanced at Liu Yu blankly: "...What's going on?"

Liu Yu also shook his head blankly.

At this moment, the herdsmen suddenly ordered Jin to withdraw their troops, and they retreated like a tide.Jiang Heng had seen Shen Zhi on the tower a long time ago, and was sure that the herdsmen had really retreated, whispered a few words to Du Wen, and quickly went up the tower.

Shen Zhi looked at the thing that Wu Wu threw over - a small dark blue cloth bag.

Because Wuwu was thrown to him in front of everyone, in order to avoid suspicion, Shen Zhi decided to tear it down on the tower.

Just as he was about to take it apart, a soldier next to him stopped him: "...Master Shen, do you know what it means for the Mu family to put away the arrow shot by another person?"

It was one of the guards who saw Shen Zhi shoot arrows that day.

Shen Zhi hadn't studied the customs of the nomads yet, so he shook his head in wonder.

The soldier looked at Shen Zhi with a complicated expression, he hesitated to speak, and even the expressions of the people around him were a little weird.

An ominous premonition arose in Shen Zhi's heart, and just as he was about to ask what it meant, Jiang Heng came up.He took the small cloth bag in Shen Zhi's hand, opened it and took a look.

Inside is a strand of hair.

Shen Zhi: "...?"

Jiang Heng threw his hair with a cloth bag off the high wall expressionlessly, and glanced at the people next to him: "Just do what you have to do."

Then he looked at Shen Zhi, and said in a cool tone, "Go back and wait for me."

Shen Zhi smiled: "..."
