Dressed as a young King Zhuang of Chu

"My lord, what do you think? Let Pan Dang and Yang Youji use these two arrows to return to Doujiao."

King Zhuang took the arrow in his hand, played with it for a while, and said, "Alright, you can take it."

Xiong Lu felt relieved, took the arrow, called Pan Dang, and said, "Pan Dang, this is the arrow that Doujiao just shot, what do you think?"

Pan Dang took the arrow from the beginning to the end, stroked it for a while, and said, "It is indeed a rare and good arrow. Presumably the bow used by the thief is also very good, and its shooting range is farther than that of ordinary bows and arrows."

Xiong Lu nodded: "How is your bow? Can it pull such an arrow?"

"The bow of this subordinate is heavier than the bow of ordinary soldiers, and the range is longer, but it may not be as good as the one in Doujiao's hand. What does your majesty mean, do you want your subordinates to use this arrow to retaliate against him?"

Xiong Lu smiled slightly: "Exactly. There are two arrows here. You go and call Yang Youji, and the two discuss how to deal with him. If the time is right, return these two arrows to him."

Pan Dang took the arrow and went to call Yang Youji.Xiong Lu stood at the place where the drum was played, looked into the distance, and said, "When do you think he will come?"

Guan Fuxiu stood with his hands behind his back, with an expression on his face that he was ready to go all out and not afraid of death.Xiong Lu was sweating on his forehead, he guessed that Doujiao's ability to recognize King Zhuang must have something to do with Guan Fuxiu.At present, the battle is tense, and King Zhuang seems to have no intention of pursuing it, but when they return to Yingdu, that may not be the case.

"Doujiao is very good at observing the situation. If the facts of the battle are unfavorable, he may temporarily give up crossing the river and think of other ways."

As soon as Zhuang Wang finished speaking, Doujiao stopped crossing the river.There were not many soldiers who came here just now, less than one-tenth of them, but they consumed most of the arrows here.At present, except for a few archers with excellent archery skills, the rest of the archers all fight with spears.

Guan Fuxiu said coldly: "He knows that we have just fought against Lu Hun's army, and there are not many arrows left. These people are here to die."

"But... a lot of people died on his side, is it worth the loss of troops?"

"Their side has more weapons than our side, the ration of feather arrows is not a problem, and the food and grass are more abundant than our side. Just now he has seen that our side is short of feather arrows, and will find a way to use our weakness to restrain us." Zhuang Wang continued.

The sky had already darkened, and the two sides called for money to withdraw their troops.The little soldiers picked up the arrows that fell on the ground, and if they were still useful, they put them away and used them again.

After marching for many days, the food and grass are only three or four days old. If Doujiao has not rebelled, they are expected to enter the first supply ground in Chudi tomorrow, and the food and grass will not be a problem.On the other side of the Zhang River, although it is also within the territory of Chu State, the land is barren, and there are no villages or granaries nearby.If the two armies continue to confront each other, the shortage of food and grass will be a big problem.

"Your Majesty, how long do you think it will take for you to arrive?"

"Many teachers from Yingdu have been dispatched, and Juao is going to Ludi to call for reinforcements. From Ludi to Zhanghe, it will take three days, even if it takes day and night. If you rush too fast, you will be exhausted when you reach Zhanghe. "

"Before you came, Ruo Ao had already gone to Ludi, right? So, if you calculate it this way, he will take at least one to two days to get here."

"Yes."

The three of them sat around the fireside, holding dinner in their hands, talking while eating, and the atmosphere was quite subtle.A small pot of meat soup was boiling on the stove, with several kinds of wild vegetables floating on it, like a pot of clear soup hot pot.Xiong Lu suddenly felt as if the three of them were eating hot pot around the stove, it was terrifying.

"Don't wait for Luo Ao. Doujiao also knows that there will be reinforcements, so he will definitely give it a go tomorrow."

Xiong Lu nodded: "Then do you have a good plan?"

King Zhuang ate his dinner calmly, and said lightly: "To capture the thief, first capture the king. If he really attacks, Fuxiu will kill him."

"Me?" Guan Fuxiu pointed to his nose.

"Yes. Doujiao has some abilities, but you are much stronger than him. I think you can do it against him."

Xiong Lu wiped the sweat off his forehead with his hand. King Zhuang's behavior is avenging his own personal revenge, right?

"That's very dangerous. How can we go deep into the enemy army and take Doujiao's head? What's more, you said that Doujiao has some special abilities, so it's not easy to deal with."

King Zhuang chuckled, turned his head to look at Guan Fuxiu: "Fuxiu, are you scared?"

Guan Fuxiu quickly took a few mouthfuls of rice, and said, "I'll go. Although Doujiao has supernatural powers, it's just the most common kind. It's stronger, more sensitive, and can see farther. That's all. This battle is at the water's edge, as long as your majesty is not afraid of revealing my identity, I will use all my abilities."

"That's not necessary, just kill the pepper. If you can't do it easily, I have no objection to using some abilities that everyone can see. It doesn't matter if it attracts water dragons, as long as your body can really bear it."

Xiong Lu held Guan Fuxiu's hand and said, "Just numb their nerves, don't use the water dragon, you won't be able to bear it."

"I know, I'll play by ear."

The three of them buried their heads in eating again, and Xiong Lu suddenly raised his head and said, "It's better not to use the ability or not. Let Pan Dang and Yang Youji figure out a way. If this time the war is fought by water dragons and fire dragons, Isn’t it an exaggeration in the history books?”

King Zhuang said disdainfully, "What's the matter?"

"Not so good? If... If there are no supernatural beings in the future, everyone will think that the history books are fake!" Xiong Lu emphasized.

"It makes sense. If the ability is really used, the widow will let the historian not write."

Hearing what King Zhuang said, Xiong Lu finally felt relieved.

It was late at night, and there was no movement outside the camp, and the other side of the river was quiet, as if they had also rested.

"They won't attack at night, will they?"

King Zhuang took off his black armor and lay on the bed, saying: "The Spring and Autumn Period was more disciplined than the Warring States Period, and there was no night attack. You can rest assured to sleep. When the battle is called tomorrow, you can get up again."

Although the king's tent is spacious, there is only one bed.In the past, Guan Fuxiu could sleep with him by guarding him in the tent, but now that the Lord is here, the bed is naturally his.Where did he and Fuxiu sleep?

Fuxiu seemed to have done something wrong with him today. With King Zhuang's temperament, the two of them wouldn't stand guard all night, would they?

King Zhuang's obscene clothes hadn't been changed yet, the blood and wound on his shoulder reminded him.Xiong Lu walked over to him immediately, and said with concern: "My lord, how is the injury on your shoulder? Shall I rub some medicine for you?"

"The widow didn't bring any luggage for this trip. Find your clothes and change them with me. There is a bag in my clothes, take it out."

The bear couple found out a set of obscene clothes, then turned their backs and waited for him to change.Guan Fuxiu folded his arms around his chest and sat near the tent door without saying a word.After Zhuang Wang changed his clothes, Xiong Lu found the bag and the moment he took out the medicine, he suddenly felt that Zhuang Wang was too smart, why did he bring so many good things?

Iodine, cotton swabs, Yunnan Baiyao, amoxicillin... everything is available in small portions and does not take up space.

"What are you doing standing still?"

"Ah, haha, I think the king is simply too witty, hahaha, he brought a lot of good things."

Zhuang Wang waited for him to apply the medicine with half of his body naked, and said, "It's good, but it's about to expire, and it won't take long."

Behind the shoulder is the lifelike picture of phoenix and bird, Xiong Lu's memory floods back like a flood, remembering the scene of Guan Fuxiu tattooing him.

"how?"

"Oh, it's nothing." He came back to his senses and immediately bandaged the wound with clean gauze.

As he said, the wound was not deep, and the bleeding was not much. As long as he was careful not to get infected, it shouldn't be a big problem.

Sensing Lulu Xiong's gaze, he said, "You should also have a pattern on your back. It's not easy to hide it for more than a year." Before he finished speaking, he stretched out his hand and opened Lulu Xiong's collar, and a small piece of the pattern appear in front of your eyes.

Startled, Xiong Lu took a step back and said, "Yes, it's going to hurt like hell."

King Zhuang smiled, looked at Guan Fuxiu who was sitting silently near the tent door, patted the quilt under him, and said, "Go and blow out the lamp, come up and sleep."

"Huh? Me?" The bear couple was startled.

"The bed is big enough, and I don't mind you sleeping with me. Or, would you rather not sleep?"

Xiong Lu looked at Guan Fuxiu, saw him pick up the silver helmet and put it on his head, snorted coldly, opened the curtain, and left.

"Hey, wait a minute." The bear couple shouted towards the tent door.

King Zhuang smiled and took his hand, saying: "Don't follow, the king of a country goes out of the tent to chase after a guard, it's not good."

Are you deliberately teasing people and sowing discord?Xiong Lu walked around the tent in a hurry, and suddenly saw the black armor, he ignored Zhuang Wang's consent, put it on, put on the helmet, and went out to find Guan Fuxiu.

The person in the tent smiled and covered himself with a quilt, stretched out his finger and flicked it, and the oil lamp went out.
