Women dressed as men: powerful officials

For three consecutive days, battle reports continued to arrive.

Xu Yuan also got a lot of information from Chen Bo's words.

For example, Bei Yao led his troops to fight, Xie Xiaocheng stayed behind, and the Geshu tribe was defeated.

But occasionally there were news of defeat.

Because when you talk about strategy on paper, there will always be miscalculations.

However, this time the war was different from usual ones. The riot in Sishui County was quelled in just half a day.

There was no looting of food, no forced conscription of soldiers, and no direct collection of money for use in the war.

If it weren't for the occasional horn sounding, almost no one would have remembered that the Tianqi and Geshu tribes were still at war.

Three more days passed.

Xu Yuan estimated that it should be over soon, and he didn't hear the sound of the army's horn, so he opened the door and prepared to go out to take a look.

The streets were the same as usual, but there were fewer pedestrians.

Cheng Zhicheng was following Xu Yuan, but before he could say anything, he saw someone riding a horse coming down the street, so he quickly pulled Xu Yuan back.

Xu Yuan recognized who the man on horseback was and immediately said, "Cheng Zhicheng, I know him."

She opened the door, and before Chen Shan got close, he got off the horse. When he saw Xu Yuan, he said directly, "Mr. Xu, long time no see."

Xuyuan nodded, "Long time no see, what's up?"

"Find someone."

Xu Yuan remained silent and nodded to let Chen Shan in.

After closing the door, Xu Yuan asked, "How is the war on the front line?"

“It’s a stalemate.”

After Chen Shan summarized it in four words, he continued, "The young master summoned Chen He back, but was afraid that the letter wouldn't explain it clearly, and was also afraid that you would think too much, so he asked me to come in person."

"The war is the most important thing. I won't think too much about it. Besides, Sishui County is very safe this year."

Xuanyuan smiled.

Chen He and Chen Bo, who heard the noise inside, also came out one by one.

After hearing what Chen Shan said, Chen Bo immediately asked, "What happened to the young master?"

"No." Chen Shan shook his head.

After saying that, he looked at Xu Yuan and said, "There is one more thing. The young master asked me not to tell you yet, but I think you should be mentally prepared."

Xuyuan's heart sank.

She calmed herself down, restrained her expression, and asked, "You say."

"My brother went to the battlefield to kill the enemy, and originally asked General Xie to stay behind. But last night, they were attacked by surprise, and General Xie led his men to fight. In order to save General Xie, your brother and the other brothers in Chengzi Camp..."

Chen Shan did not say the rest. Seeing Xu Yuan's face suddenly change, he hurriedly said, "But don't worry, the young master said that he would keep your brother safe. He summoned Chen He back to rescue your brother."

"boom……"

Wen Shufang was behind a few people. When she heard those words, the basket of vegetables in her hand fell to the ground.

She didn't know who the people in front of her were, but she knew that the brother who made the wish was only Zhang Yue.

She wanted to ask, is the person still alive? Is he missing any limbs? But no matter what, she couldn't say those words.

Xu Yuan looked over and hurried over to comfort her, "Aunt, it's okay, it's okay. General Xie will definitely not ignore my brother."

"Yes, that certainly won't happen."

Cheng Zhicheng also comforted Wen Shufang.

When Wen Shufang heard those words, she couldn't hide her tears anymore and cried, "If I had known what would happen today, I would have broken his legs instead of letting him join the army!"

Wen Shufang felt regretful and hateful, and wished she could die in place of Zhang Yue.

Xu Yuan pursed her lips tightly for a long time, then she said, "Mr. Chen, thank you for bringing the letter. Cheng Zhicheng, I will leave this family to you."

"Ah...what?" Cheng Zhicheng hasn't reacted yet.

"I want to go to the front line to save my brother."

"No, no!" Wen Shufang hurriedly grabbed Xu Yuan and said anxiously, "Yuan'er, you can't go!"

Chen Shan thought of what Bei Yao had said, and regretted that he shouldn't have said it like that. He then advised: "Master Xu, you don't have to worry. With Master here, your brother won't..."

"I've made up my mind. I was the one who sent my brother to the military camp, so I must go and save him. Even if he dies, I will bring his body back personally. Aunt, don't worry, I will definitely bring my brother back."

After Xu Yuan finished speaking, he looked at Cheng Zhicheng and said solemnly, "I'll leave the explanation to you. Now that I'm not here, I'll trouble you to take good care of my family. If you don't do it, I won't let you go even if you die."

Cheng Zhicheng looked at Xu Yuan's resolute expression, nodded and swore, "Don't worry, Xu Yuan, I will never let anyone get into trouble."

"Yuan'er! Listen to your aunt, you..."

Before Wen Shufang finished her words, Xu Yuan had already left.

She watched anxiously, but her legs didn't have the strength to pull Xu Yuan back, so she urged Cheng Zhicheng to go after him.

But the only response he received was the sound of horse hooves.

Seeing this, Chen He said, "Chen Shan, you are in trouble."

Chen Bo also said: "If the master knew, I'm afraid he would have to fine you a year's salary."

Chen He and Chen Bo also spent some time with Xu Yuan.

Xu Yuan has a calm personality, but once he has made up his mind about something, he will not turn back even if he gets hurt.

Besides that, he cares a lot about the safety of his family.

For the sake of his loved ones, Xu Yuan would even go to his death.

Tianqi attaches great importance to filial piety, but the only person who can be so filial is Xu Yuan.

Chen Shan felt bitter, "I never thought he could be so reckless!"

I should have listened to you and kept my mouth shut.

He shouldn't have made this extra trip.

Chen Bo added: "It seems he has ridden your horse away, why don't you go..."

Before Chen Bo finished speaking, Chen Shan and Chen He hurriedly chased after him.

Chen Bo then closed the door. Seeing Cheng Zhicheng supporting the panic-stricken Wen Shufang, he didn't want to say much, but thinking of the care of this family, he still said, "Madam Zhang, don't worry too much. Nothing will happen. What's more, you heard that Master Zhang risked his life to save General Xie. Chengzi Camp will definitely save him at all costs. After all, the army must not be disturbed."

Chen Bo didn't know whether what he said was useful or whether it could comfort Wen Shufang.

But he knew that with Bei Yao around, nothing would happen to Zhang Yue unless he died in battle.

What's more, Zhang Yue got into trouble in order to save Xie Xiaocheng.

Even without the promise to Xu Yuan, Bei Yao would save Zhang Yue.

Even though Chen Bo said so, in just one day, the entire Zhang family felt as if they had suffered a severe blow. No one even spoke loudly, and everyone was silent.

Chen Bo was unable to comfort her too much. He just guarded the yard every day, alert for other accidents.

Cheng Zhicheng looked at the courtyard that had closed its door again, and couldn't help but clench his fists. He said, "Make a wish. Next time, I must be as brave as you. I will also be by your side and invincible."
