Chapter 364
"Do you want to continue moving west?"

Shen Yuexi was about to stick a carrot into the snowman's face as a nose, but when she heard Xiao Zhuo's decision, she was dumbfounded.

Xiao Zhuo and his two sisters fought so well. Facing the fierce enemy army, they won three battles and three victories. The momentum of the coalition forces was unprecedentedly high. General Qiu Liming even geared up to push the enemy back in the next battle.

The situation on the battlefield is very good, why does Xiao Zhuo continue to retreat to Xiliang?

Xiao Zhuo took a handful of snow, patted it on the snowman's round head, and said with a smile, "Why does he look unwilling. Is it because you have built such a big snowman, so you are reluctant to leave?"

The snowman was right next to the tent of the coalition army camp. It was as tall as a person, with a round head and a round body like a big snow-white gourd.Xiao Zhuo and the others were fighting ahead, and Shen Yuexi couldn't participate, so he piled up and played by himself.

Shen Yuexi rolled his eyes at him, stood up the carrot, slammed it into the top of the snowman's head, turned and walked towards the sleeping tent not far away.Xiao Zhuo trotted to catch up and held her arm: "Be careful with your feet, don't slip."

Back in the tent, Shen Yuexi still looked unhappy, standing in the tent without speaking.Xiao Zhuo helped her take off the cloak with his own hands, and said with a smile: "It will snow again later, let's build a bigger snowman then."

The maid brought the water basin, Shen Yuexi washed her hands and said, "It's not about the snowman at all."

Xiao Zhuo is a smart person, how could he not know what she was worried about.Actually pretending to be stupid here, deliberately teasing her.

She didn't want to leave Shengjing, this was her and Xiao Zhuo's home.Although she was outside the city, looking at the outline of Shengjing from a distance made her feel at ease.What if the coalition forces continued to retreat westward and Xiao Beiheng led his troops into Shengjing to burn, kill and loot.

Thinking of this scene, she was terrified.It doesn't matter if the coalition forces can't withstand the enemy's attack, it's a lack of strength.Why did they retreat westward when the enemy army lost their helmets and armor?
Xiao Zhuo washed her hands, put them on top of a charcoal basin to warm them up, then turned around and put them on her flushed cheeks, rubbing them: "It's noon, let's have dinner. I asked Xia Lan to prepare chicken soup."

Shen Yuexi was wiping her hands, when she heard this, she was so annoyed that she really wanted to stuff a big chicken leg into this man's mouth.

It's chicken soup again, I feel emotional after eating chicken.Isn't it just that I ate chicken a few times when I was down and down, and I remember the bitterness and sweetness here.

"Master, the meal is here." Xia Lan lifted the curtain and let the maid with the tray enter.

"I'm not hungry," Shen Yuexi stuffed a towel to Xiao Zhuo, and slipped under his armpit, "Let His Royal Highness An eat."

This man has to be punished and let him eat all the chicken.After eating for ten days and half a month, he will definitely beg her with a sad face, asking Madam, can we change to something else, it's too boring to eat the same thing every day.

Of course she couldn't just let it go, if she wanted to seriously say that chicken is very nutritious, husband should eat more of it.Can't eat it, she feeds him herself.What kind of chicken head, chicken neck, chicken wings, chicken legs, and buttocks were all stuffed into his mouth, and he was not finished, and he was forced to drink two more bowls of chicken soup.

Thinking of Xiao Zhuo's frowning look, she almost burst out laughing.

But after thinking about it, the chicken is very nourishing, if you really want to eat it so hard, will Xiao Zhuo get fat like blowing up a balloon?Ouch, that's not going to work, even if he is a graceful and handsome man, as long as he becomes a ball, he will be completely finished.

She turned around abruptly: "Husband, I'm afraid...I'd better eat it."

Xiao Zhuo was sitting at the desk tearing lamb chops, when Shen Yuexi turned around, he said with a smile, "What are you afraid of?"

Shen Yuexi sat down across from him, looked at a whole lamb chop roasted brown and fragrant on the tray, steaming white flour cakes, a few small dishes of dipping sauce, and a big bowl of meat sauce, and thought that this man really Slippery, and know how to play tricks.

She swallowed and said, "I'm afraid that when we retreat, the enemy will chase us."

Xiao Zhuo handed her a mutton chop with a smile and said: "This is the reason why we have to withdraw our troops when we win the battle. At this time, when we retreat westward, the morale of the enemy troops will be low, and they will suspect that we are using tricks. If we don’t dare to chase, we can retreat smoothly.”

"Do you have to withdraw? It's a good fight... Well, it's delicious."

"Our military strength is limited, and it is useless to win three more battles. My brother's southern army is coming, not to mention there are two other armies coming here to support. Let's retreat west first, so that we can not only get out of danger, but also Being able to get close to the four counties of Xiliang, we can get supplementary troops."

"What about Seungkyung?"

"Believe me, my brother will definitely not attack Shengjing. For my husband, leave [-] defenders in Shengjing for Feng Zhang and Yang Cong to defend. We will set up camp early tomorrow morning."

"By the way, have the scouts found any traces of Qiang Lin?"

"I found dozens of corpses of the Dingbei Army in a ruined temple, as well as broken chains. Looking at the cut, it can only be cut out with a weapon made by Daxiong. Only Qianglin has such a weapon. He should be fine."

"That's great. Have another cake and spread more meat sauce for me."

……

On the third day after Xiao Zhuo's allied forces retreated, Xiao Beiheng's southern army rushed to the outskirts of Shengjing and joined the northern army.

The Northern Army lost Zhao Mu, and the new general was beaten into a mess by Xiao Zhuo, losing nearly [-] soldiers and horses.Seeing Xiao Zhuo retreating in broad daylight, the generals of the northern army were afraid that it was Xiao Zhuo's plan, so they did not dare to pursue and let Xiao Zhuo's allied forces leave.

Xiao Beiheng didn't care. Even if 17 soldiers were killed or injured, he still had 5 million, not counting the [-] reinforcements behind.Moreover, Xiao Zhuo's coalition forces are not without losses, and there are currently less than [-] people left.If he plays steadily like this, he will win sooner or later.

The generals of the Northern Army learned that there were only [-] defenders in Shengjing, and they immediately met with Xiao Beiheng after nightfall, demanding that they capture Shengjing, burn, kill, and loot to boost the morale of the army.

"I know what you think," Xiao Beiheng said coldly to the generals, "but I am the Son of Heaven, and the whole world is my people. If we attack Shengjing, it will hurt my people. No way."

The generals were stunned, but they didn't dare to disobey the holy will, so they had to leave.After leaving the imperial tent, the generals of the northern army were not reconciled and got together to discuss.

A general of the Dingbei Army who knew Xiao Beiheng's past said: "When Your Majesty was still the son of Prince Qi, Beidi's villages were slaughtered as soon as they said they wanted to. How come their hearts suddenly softened now?"

The other said: "Xiao Zhuo is not in Shengjing, why did your Majesty attack? Your Majesty's personal expedition this time is to wipe out the rebels. The city wall of Shengjing is strong, and if you really want to fight, it won't be able to take it down in a short while, but let it go. Xiao Zhuo."

Some generals were not convinced, and retorted: "There are 17 troops here, and a mere city is at your fingertips. It won't be too late to chase after Xiao Zhuo after they are defeated."

Everyone was discussing, Su Mo happened to be passing by here, and heard the generals' discussion, thinking that Xiao Beiheng would attack Shengjing next, he couldn't help being surprised.

She wanted to persuade Xiao Beiheng, but Xiao Beiheng was so determined to go his own way that he didn't listen to her persuasion at all.In the past, when the Northern Army was marching westward, she could still persuade her a few words, but now that she talked too much, Xiao Beiheng would doubt whether she was partial to Xiao Zhuo, and she no longer dared to persuade Xiao Beiheng.

Back in the tent, she was restless after thinking about it.Several times I wanted to get up and look for Xiao Beiheng, but I was afraid that Xiao Beiheng might misunderstand.But if you let it go, once Shengjing falls, thousands of people will suffer.

After much deliberation, there was nothing she could do, she could only cry secretly, feeling that she was really worthless.When Xiao Beiheng slaughtered the Beidi village, she failed to stop it.Now Grand Marshal of Beidi is avenging his son, and he is leading the Beidi cavalry to attack the border.The Great Yan Dynasty has internal and external troubles.Now Shengjing is about to suffer another bad luck, and tens of thousands of people are in danger, but she has nothing to do.

While weeping, Xiao Beiheng's voice sounded behind her: "Momo, what's wrong with you?"

Su Mo shook her body, quickly wiped away her tears with her sleeves, turned around and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, I was blinded by the wind outside the tent just now."

Xiao Beiheng believed it was true, and asked: "Momo, is there really a god in Shengjing?"

Su Mo got up to help him undress, and said: "I don't know about it, but folklore said that the gods dug up the mountain overnight and established Shengjing. The people in Shengjing said that the gods were blessing this place, and Xirong failed to take it down several times. Here, there may really be a god secretly blessing."

"Today, the generals of the Northern Army asked me to attack Shengjing," Xiao Beiheng said casually, "I refused."

Su Mo was overjoyed, and couldn't help asking, "Why did Your Majesty reject the generals?"

Xiao Beiheng wearily held the Yan Que sword and fell on the bed, put his arm on his forehead, and said: "Shengjing is right in front of me, I don't want to offend the gods. Maybe the gods are kind and will dispel the evil spirits that entangle me, so that I can sleep well." Good sleep."

"We can set up an incense table in the barracks, and His Majesty sacrifices cattle and sheep to sacrifice to the gods..."

Xiao Beiheng showed joy at first, then quickly turned to panic, turned around, curled up and hugged Yan Quejian, and said in a panicked tone: "No, no, don't let the gods know that I am here. Momo, hug me, When I close my eyes, I have nightmares again."

He hopes that the gods can relieve his pain, but he is afraid that the gods will be angry with what he has done.As soon as he closes his eyes, the person he killed will appear.It used to be the puppy he strangled to death in childhood, then it became a maid like Leng Shuang, then the people of Beidi Village, a brother like Xiao Kai, and then it became his father Xiao Ming.

Su Mo felt sad when she heard that, she went to bed and hugged Xiao Beiheng's trembling body behind her, and said, "Your Majesty, I'm holding you here. Go to sleep, I won't leave."

These words seemed to have a calming effect, making Xiao Beiheng gradually calm down, and finally closed his eyes.
