Liu Huafei

Early the next morning, Cheng Zihan opened his eyes from his sleep, still a little dazed.

Since returning to Jicheng, he has been under the siege of foreign enemies every day, and he has never been able to sleep until dawn. Sometimes he even dared not take off his armor, let alone his weapon.It was a greater sense of crisis and a trace of despair than before.After enjoying the feeling that someone can be relied on, it has become even more unbearable to be in danger all the time like before. Every decision is related to the weight of thousands of lives.

"Hmm..." Cheng Zihan stretched comfortably and turned around, looking at Nianhua with a smile on his face.

Nianhua seemed to have woken up a long time ago. Seeing that Cheng Zihan had also woken up, he frowned and said bitterly, "You've woken up, get up quickly, my hands are numb from your pressure. You It’s so heavy that I can’t even smoke it.”

Cheng Zihan's originally pink face turned black in an instant, he snorted twice, got up from the bed unhappily, and stepped on Nianhua fiercely.

Nianhua let out a cry of pain, covered the wound with one hand and pointed at Cheng Zihan, gnashing his teeth, but before he could say anything, he heard Cheng Zihan revealing his scar heartlessly, and muttered in a low voice: "Sleep with you!" You're still chattering all over the place, hmph, I knew it, you like to sleep with the dog emperor..."

"Hey! You have no conscience, no conscience!" Nianhua's mouthful of blood was stuffed in his throat, and he couldn't even spray it out.

The episode of the morning was over, and it was a rare moment of relief.After breakfast—the so-called breakfast is nothing more than a few grains of rice and two vegetable leaves floating in a large bowl of water.After breakfast, Cheng Zihan called all the generals in the city over to discuss the supply of food and grass.

There were seven generals in total, five of them were from Cheng Zihan, and two were sent by Jun Mingfang.Earlier, they fought fiercely because of their personal grievances, and no one would give in to the other. At this time, everyone was so hungry that their eyes were dim and their feet were weak, and finally they had no strength to fight anymore.

As soon as they heard that there were several large carts of grain and grass waiting to be brought into the city outside the city at this time, the eyes of several generals became brighter, and their veins burst into battle. After so many days of starvation, this was the first time that they Unite as one, high morale.

"Wait a minute, you're all so weak, those rebels outside are fat and strong, don't you want to die like this?" Nianhua said, "There are not many people on Chen Zheng's side, so it's impossible to break through. "

"At this point, there is no time to look forward and backward! The soldiers have been boiled with clear soup and water for more than ten days, and I am afraid that they will not even have this thing in the future. Everyone will starve to death by then, and even those who are looking for death There is no chance!" a general said loudly.

Cheng Zihan looked at Nianhua, and Nianhua said again: "Didn't you tell me at that time that there is a tunnel in Jicheng leading to the outside of the city? Can't you transport grain and grass in from there?!"

Cheng Zihan shook his head and sighed: "It's not as simple as you think. If it was so easy to use, would we still be besieged to this point? The exit of the tunnel is surrounded by the enemy camp, and it is impossible to pass through."

"I thought of this. I heard you say that the exit of the tunnel is outside the north gate, and Chen Zheng is already waiting there. I have already told Chen Zheng that grain can be transported through the tunnel. The exit must be outside the periphery It's very close, as long as we can welcome Chen Zheng and the others in, and then blow up the tunnel to stop the enemy's pursuit, it will be fine."

"Blow it up?" Cheng Zihan asked in confusion.

Nianhua scratched his head and said, "Don't worry about this, leave it to me. How about it, Zihan, I can only think of this way."

"Your Highness, I think what Young Master Nian said is feasible. It's impossible not to take a little risk now." One of Cheng Zihan's generals said, and several others also responded.

People who have been starving for so long suddenly heard that there is a large pile of food waiting to be delivered outside the city, and it is almost impossible for them to keep their heads and think twice.

Cheng Zihan looked at the injury on Nianhua's shoulder, looked at him with a trace of worry on his face, and then looked at the faces of other subordinates full of hope and eagerness. Those faces were burning with a fighting spirit that had been hard to see for a long time, he hesitated for a moment, Finally nodded in agreement.

Nianhua happily patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Zihan, don't worry so much. I almost killed hundreds of them yesterday. This time, I didn't love to fight or kill the enemy. I just restrained them and let them It is enough for Chen Zhengneng to bring his men into the tunnel. This is much simpler, and nothing will happen."

"Nianhua, you were injured just yesterday, why not..." Cheng Zihan struggled for a moment, raised his head to look at Nianhua, frowned and said worriedly.

"This little injury is nothing to worry about. It's not that you don't know your master's skill. It's much easier for me to take care of it." Nianhua said, "Don't have too many people follow, or you just go to die. You pick some for me. Good martial arts. Give Chen Zheng a signal to get ready sooner."

Cheng Zihan's subordinates used to protect Cheng Zihan with Nianhua for a while, and they knew about Nianhua's skills and the relationship between the two of them for a long time, so they didn't make any fuss at this time.It's just that the people sent by Jun Mingfang didn't know what to do, they didn't know what the origin of this time was, as long as they weren't enemies anyway.The originally straightforward King Ji was so reckless at this time, and the impatient one couldn't bear it anymore and urged: "His Royal Highness, make a decision quickly. Brothers would rather die in battle than starve to death in this deserted city." If you are worried about the safety of this little brother, then just let him stay in the city and wait, anyway, one more him is not much, and one less him is not much."

Cheng Zihan gave the man a displeased look, and his colleague also gave him a hand, telling him not to look so blankly.

Cheng Zihan stood up and said: "Just do as Nianhua said, but you must act at night. You guys, pick out a few of your own brave and skilled fighters, eat your fill and refresh yourself during the day, Wait until dark to act."

Several soldiers were ordered to go down, Cheng Zihan looked at Nianhua again, and sighed softly after a while: "Nianhua, you must pay attention to safety." After saying it, I felt that it was superfluous, but if I didn't say it, it seemed to be missing something.

"I hate my useless body, I—"

Nianhua stopped him, afraid that he would say something about exposing his old scars again: "Don't worry, Zihan, I am the one who cherishes my life the most, and I won't joke about my own life. It just so happens that I only heard you mention it , don’t understand what’s inside, so you can tell me carefully during the day.”

Cheng Zihan nodded, pulled up Nianhua and said, "Come with me."

Nian Hua walked behind Cheng Zihan, his thoughts suddenly drifted away.He knew how dangerous this trip was, and he said this just to comfort Zihan who was worried about him.

I just don’t know if the other person, the other... the person who keeps saying how much he loves him, if he is seriously injured this time, or simply becomes heroic, will Yuan Mutian feel a little genuinely sad?
