After the marriage, the sick and weak husband fell off the horse

A flash of panic flashed in Lin Jingrong's eyes, and he hurriedly took a few steps forward, took Xie Chunchao's hand, and said, "Don't be afraid of Chao Chao, the real battlefield is still far away from here."

"They can't get into the pass."

Even so, the sound of the horn ringing in her ears was still clear, and she even seemed to hear the shouts of death outside the pass through the wind. A large number of soldiers gathered together and rushed to the pass in unison, ready to support at any time.

One of them, Lieutenant Zheng, who was responsible for teaching the women soldiers weapons, left behind and said, "Ladies, don't panic, just stay in your military tents."

After Captain Zheng finished speaking, he looked at Xie Chunchao and said, "Princess, the fight is starting now, I'd better send you back first."

Xie Chunchao also knew that this was not the time to be willful, so he nodded obediently, "Okay."

Along the way, the soldiers in charge of patrols became more and more rigorous. Everyone had a solemn look on their face and looked in the direction outside the pass from time to time.

The piercing and sharp horn sound stopped, and was replaced by the sound of war drums coming from a more distant place, one beat the other, as if it had the potential to swallow the sky.

Lieutenant Zheng explained, "This is the sound of war drums. It is used to boost morale before the war begins."

Xie Chunchao licked her dry lips. Although she knew from Xie Ningyu's mouth that her brother had defeated Shengguo many times, the battlefield was full of changes and no one was 100% sure of victory.

"We will win this battle, right?"

Captain Zheng: "Princess, we will definitely win this battle."

After Colonel Zheng sent the two men back to their room, he did not leave but brought a small team of people here to protect the safety of Xie Chunchao and Lin Jingrong.

Xie Chunchao listened to the noise outside and walked around the room anxiously, not even thinking about eating.

Upon seeing this, Lin Jingrong comforted him and said, "Don't be anxious about Chao Chao. Prince Xie will be safe and sound and win a great victory over Shengguo."

Xie Chunchao looked at the darkening sky outside the house and sighed. Although everyone told her that she would be fine, she still couldn't rest assured, especially since Xie Ningyu had been defeated and died once in her previous life.

Lin Jingrong saw that Xie Chunchao seemed to be having trouble calming down. He lowered his eyes and thought for a while, then said, "How about I accompany the princess to the tower to take a look?"

It's better to see the situation on the battlefield with your own eyes than to worry here.

"Is that okay?" Xie Chunchao's eyes brightened for an instant, but then dimmed quickly. She shook her head and said, "No."

"If I go, I will only cause trouble for my brother."

Lin Jingrong glanced at the sky outside and said, "Sheng Guo should not be attacking the city. If it is not attacking the city, it doesn't hurt for us to take a look from a distance on the tower."

Xie Chunchao was a little moved when he heard this, "Is it really okay?"

Lin Jingrong curled his lips and smiled, "If Chao Chao is worried, you can send someone to check the situation in advance."

Xie Chunchao thought this was a good idea, so he summoned Captain Zheng outside the house and said, "Colonel Zheng, go and take a look at the situation on the battlefield. Come back and give me a reply."

"Yes."

After Captain Zheng left, Lin Jingrong persuaded Xie Chunchao to eat something.

"Chaochao, let's eat something first. If we go to the tower later, we won't go hungry."

When Xie Chunchao heard this, he sat down to eat.

As soon as the two of them finished eating, Captain Zheng came back. "Princess Princess, Sheng Guo and our army are fighting outside the pass, and now our army is gaining the upper hand."

"Did they attack the tower?" Xie Chunchao asked.

"Not at all." Lieutenant Zheng replied, "At first, they wanted to attack the city but were repelled by our army."

Xie Chunchao and Lin Jingrong looked at each other, and then said, "Captain Zheng, can you take me to the tower to have a look?"

"This..." Captain Zheng's order was to protect the princess, but would it be too dangerous to let the princess climb the tower?

"I promise not to go anywhere else." Xie Chunchao said, "I just went to the tower to have a look. I will never hinder you from doing things."

Colonel Zheng thought for a while and agreed, "Okay, I will take the princess there."

"It's just that... the princess must leave early and come back early. After all, the city tower is too dangerous and it is not advisable to stay for a long time."

"I know." Xie Chunchao said.

Xie Chunchao breathed a sigh of relief and looked sideways at Lin Jingrong. She originally wanted to ask Lin Jingrong to wait for her at home, but then she remembered that it was him who came up with the idea. As a result, she turned around and abandoned him. suitable.

"Shocking, let's go together."

Lin Jingrong nodded and followed. He had long wanted to see with his own eyes how the elite Chu army under Xie Shizi fought and the national strength of Sheng.

As Xie Chunchao walked forward, the shouts of death and the sound of drums became clearer. As she walked through a long street, she saw a tall and thick city wall not far ahead.

On top of the city wall are things similar to bunkers. A thick gate is opened under the center. The gate seems to be made of copper and iron, and a building similar to a house is built on the gate.

There were many soldiers on guard standing under the city wall, and crowds of people could be seen on the city wall.

Lieutenant Zheng led the two of them up the steps next to the city gate and onto the city wall. She took a quick look and saw rows of archers standing on the city wall. Everyone saw a look of curiosity in their eyes.

Someone who knew Captain Zheng directly asked, "Old Zheng, who are they? How could you bring irrelevant people here?"

Lieutenant Zheng glanced at Xie Chunchao, and then said, "It's none of your business. You are busy with your business. I will bring them here to have a look without delaying you."

The man wanted to say something more, but someone quietly hit his arm from behind. The man turned back to look at him in confusion, only to see him lower his head and say something in his ear. The man's expression changed and he glanced. Xie Chunchao and Lin Jingrong looked a little more respectful this time. He changed his tone and said, "There are stools over there and the view is good. Lao Zheng, please take them two there to see."

Xie Chunchao had no requirements on where to look. As long as she could see the situation on the battlefield, it didn't matter if she stood in the hut.

She looked down from a high place. In the open space not far away, the armies of both sides were entangled and fighting back and forth. But judging from the enemy's disintegration and our uniformity, it was obvious that Sheng Guo could not hold on for too long. .

Xie Chunchao felt a little more relaxed and prayed in his heart that this war would end soon.

She searched the soldiers with her eyes and finally saw her brother. He was wearing silver armor and charging forward. Every move he made was extremely sharp and he could kill people in a moment. He was the bravest one on the battlefield.

Xie Chunchao was happy for her brother's bravery, but she was also very worried, fearing that if she were not careful, her brother would end up dead like in his previous life.

"Princess, can we go back?" Lieutenant Zheng asked in a low voice.

Although it is safe here for the time being, there are too many uncertainties in front of the enemy, so it is most reassuring to go back as soon as possible. If something happens to the princess, his ten heads are not enough to chop him off.
