Kou Zhenbei was about to say that he could recite the "Thirty-Six Strategies" when his feet suddenly slipped and he fell into the abyss.

Waking up in a scream, only a line of shallow shadows left in Butcher Kou's mind was dissipating rapidly.

He gasped heavily, the panic in his eyes gradually faded, and the dreams were once again without any trace.

At this moment, he suddenly realized that there was a man standing beside his bed, a woman in black clothes.

"Who are you?" He was startled, but at the same time he felt that the woman looked familiar. When he thought about it carefully, he remembered who this woman was.

Isn’t this a blind girl who touched the bones of the fool next door a few days ago?

"Why are you at my house?" he said vigilantly.

Fu Yao looked at the fat butcher in front of him, and it was really hard to associate him with Kou Zhenbei.

"Didn't you let me come?" she asked back.

"What?" Butcher Kou was a little confused.

"You went to Huguo Temple to ask why you always dreamed. As a result, the monks in Huguo Temple said that you just couldn't sleep well, and sent you back after sending you a few incense sticks. In fact, they knew that they couldn't solve your problem, so they asked me to come and help." Fu Yao said nonsense.

"Is that true?" Butcher Kou was still very suspicious.

"You can tell if you try it or not." Fu Yao said, "They gave you three incense sticks of remnant incense. After you finish lighting it, if you dream again, just go to Huguo Temple to ask them for an explanation."

In the palace, the three monks' hands that knocked on Mu Yu were stuck at the same time.

Butcher Kou was half-believing and half-doubted, but it was just a matter of three incense, and there was no loss for him.

"Okay, just try it. Should I continue to sleep now or?" The weather is getting hotter now. He has just had a sweat in his back. At this moment, he is feeling sticky and uncomfortable and wants to change his clothes.

"Don't worry, it's best to have a full meal before starting." Fu Yao said.

Butcher Kou thought she wanted to have some food, and he went out generously to ask his wife to cook more dishes today. Regardless of whether things were successful or not, he would just be considered as a friend.

After lunch, Butcher Kou came to the yard with great energy.

There is a peach tree in the yard. The flowering period of peach blossoms has passed. The green leaves of a tree are mixed with green fruits the size of dates.

There was a recliner under the peach tree. Butcher Kou lay down as Fu Yao's instructions, and the people who sat around Butcher Kou - except for the old and youngest Kou family, the old Chang family next door found out, and the sixth family came to watch the fun.

"What's your name?" Fu Yao asked the son of the old Chang family.

The boy didn't expect him to ask his name, and he said generously: "My name is Chang Yu."

Fu Yao nodded, "This is a good name. Go and help Uncle Kou light up the incense."

"Okay." Chang Yu answered the incense and lit it. The incense was inserted into the incense burner next to the recliner.

Originally, Butcher Kou, who was surrounded by everyone, was in good spirits now and would not fall asleep soon. However, not long after the fragrance was lit, his eyelids could not hold on and he fell asleep to death.

Watching people sleep is not a very interesting thing, but when this person starts to cry in his sleep, that is another matter.

"He is crying?" Lao Chang said suddenly.

When Chang Yu saw that there were tears flowing in Uncle Kou's eyes. He was a little surprised. He looked at the woman in black sitting next to him, and she also leaned on the bamboo chair, as if she had fallen asleep together.

...

When Kou Zhenbei returned to his dream again, the camp was celebrating.

Of course, it was just a celebration, but it was just a few sips of wine. Seeing the soldiers siping wine like young ladies, Kou Zhenbei dug out barbecue from the ground and distributed it to everyone piece by piece.

The meat was buried in a pit when it was fired during the day. They could not light the fire at night and could only fill their stomachs early.

"When the reinforcements arrive tomorrow, I must go and have a good meal when I go back." Someone took a bite of the meat and said viciously: "This is without wine, the meat doesn't taste good."

"Look at your promising prospects, you will know how to drink. We should seize this opportunity to earn more military merits and be a soldier. Even if we die, this merit can be left to our son." Another person laughed.

"Then I have to have a son first."

"You are wrong. Have you forgotten that you don't even have a wife now?"

This sentence attracted a lot of laughter. Kou Zhenbei walked through them with a smile and delivered the best piece of roasted meat to the lower part of the hall in the middle.

"Xiaobei, what do you want to do when you return to Chang'an?" His Highness's personal guard asked him.

"I guess I'm going to marry a wife first." The person next to me came over and said with a smile.

Seeing that His Highness was also smiling at him, Kou Zhenbei felt a little nervous, but he still expressed his greatest wish, "I want to be a pig slaughter. This way, not only can I eat meat every day, but I can also make a lot of money."

This wish immediately made everyone laugh. The brother of the guard couldn't help but reach out and patted him on the shoulder, "Okay, ambitious."

Kou Zhenbei didn't know why they laughed, and felt a little aggrieved, "Is it not good to be a pig-killer? The richest person in our village is a pig-killer. If you can eat big meat every day, we will walk through his doorstep a few more times just to smell his meat fragrance."

These words made everyone stop laughing again.

"You will eat meat every day from now on." His Highness divided half of the meat in front of him, "The taste will be better than this."

Kou Zhenbei felt a little embarrassed, "What if you can't eat enough?"

"If I just want to make everyone in the world hungry just to make me full, this is my fault."

Kou Zhenbei couldn't quite understand this sentence, but this piece of meat was the most delicious piece he had ever eaten.

Of course, it was not just because this was given to him by His Highness, but for a long time after that, he did not eat meat again.

Because the reinforcements that everyone had been looking forward to for a long time did not come the next day.

In the past two days, Turkic soldiers and generals took the lead in internal strife before they even started the war. The Turkic commander had already noticed their existence based on this. If the Han reinforcements arrived at this time, they would be able to take advantage of the Turkic reorganization and give a heavy blow.

Unfortunately, the reinforcements did not arrive, but these people had to face the pursuit of 20,000 Turkic soldiers.

"Your Highness, what should I do?" said the guard anxiously, "I'll send you away first."

Kou Zhenbei also noticed the seriousness of the matter, because now everyone is not like before. Although someone will die, there is still hope in everyone's eyes. But now everyone seems to be suppressing something in their eyes.

Are they all going to die here?

"Zhenbei," Kou Zhenbei suddenly heard His Highness call him, and he hurriedly said, "I'm here!"

"Phoenix General, go and bring my horse." His Highness said, carrying him on the black horse with its fur as smooth as satin, and then told him, "I will give you an important task. You ride this horse with my token to invite reinforcements. Remember, the faster you run, the greater the chance of us being rescued. You will be allowed to turn around all the way."

Kou Zhenbei looked at the crowd below and saw that they were all looking at him with a smile on his face.

"What are you looking at? Why don't you leave quickly? When you go back, if you see my wife, remember to take her to her for me, and say that if we win, I will go home."

"You're talking nonsense. Can you know if you have a wife?" The military man next to him said impatiently, "Xiaobei, go quickly, we're waiting for you."

Kou Zhenbei had never rode a horse, and was even a little afraid of the horse. But now he had infinite courage.

"Wait for me, I will bring reinforcements to save you soon."

I don't know who beat the horse and the horse rushed forward. He hugged the horse's neck tightly, feeling that all the scenery was retreating quickly.

He passed many villages and saw countless families. Some of them were still covered with blue smoke, and children were picking up residual millet in the snow and ice.

He originally wanted to ask why His Highness and the others didn't go with him to find reinforcements, but now he seems to have some understanding of the reason.

If no one is in front, who will save these people in the rear?

He rode his horse for two days and one night and finally saw the city. He had His Highness's token and successfully met the adults in the city. But the adults looked at him and sneered, and then asked someone to put him in prison.

Only then did he realize that it was said outside that His Highness was corrupt. Because he was afraid that the Turks would go south, he took the initiative to bring 800 beauties and countless gold and silver to ask the Huns for peace.

So, for this request for help, whether it is true or false, they intend to delay time.

The days and nights of the prison were unknown, Kou Zhenbei begged the prison guards to let him out, but all he got was punches and kicks.

After being hungry for a long time, he lost the strength to shout. Just when he thought he was going to let down His Highness's trust and died in this prison, the prison door suddenly opened.

He struggled quickly, but saw a young man coming outside.

"Sir, please go and save Your Highness!" He begged hard, but the voice could not be made.

He is too weak.

The man looked at him with red eyes and said hoarsely: "The reinforcements have gone. Brother and the others' bodies have also been found. You can follow me in the future, and I will take good care of you on their behalf."

At that moment, Kou Zhenbei understood a lot.

Even if he came here, he could not move to reinforcements. The reason why he asked him to seek rescue was that His Highness wanted him to live, and they had no intention of leaving Hexi alive.

"Why do you say that Your Highness is a traitor?" he asked coldly.

"You won't understand even if you say this answer." The man said, "When you grow up in the future, you will understand."

"If you ask me to follow you, who are you?"

The man said, "I am the eldest brother's eighth brother, my name is Zhonglilin. This time the reinforcements failed to pass in time. I deliberately dragged them on the grounds that there was no order. If you want to avenge your elder brother in the future, you can come to me as long as possible."

Knowing that he was the culprit, Kou Zhenbei suppressed his hatred and said, "Then why do you drag it?"

The man was a little happy when he saw the hatred in his eyes, "Because of jealousy, my elder brother was born with everything, and he was the only one in his heart who was jealous of the woman I loved the most. Although there was indeed a villain instigating him in the middle, in the final analysis, it was just because of my jealous heart."
