Others don't know, but Governor Xunyang knows it very well.
No more reinforcements will come from the imperial court.
Zhao Xiaole's presence here at least gave everyone some hope. If something happened to him, the blow to morale would be too severe.
"It's okay. I'm just watching from a distance. I won't get too close. I don't think there will be any problems."
Zhao Xiaole said.
This strange beast is the winner that determines the outcome of the war.
If he didn't even know what the alien beast looked like.
How to formulate a strategy?
Due to Zhao Xiaole's resolute attitude, the prefect of Xunyang had no choice but to discuss with several generals and decided to let him go and have a look.
However, Qian warned and Wan urged: "Master Marquis, you must not leave the city when the time comes, just wait and see from a distance."
Even though Zhao Xiaole was impatient, he could only deal with it: "I know this, so please stop talking nonsense."
Since it was getting too late, we had to go the next day.
That night, as soon as Zhao Xiaole finished giving the queen a massage, he heard a knock on the door.
It was a servant, "Master Marquis, this is a reply from the King of Minnan. The prefect asked me to send it to you."
"When did you come?" Zhao Xiaole took the letter.
"One...an hour ago." The servant said hesitantly.
Looking at him, Zhao Xiaole didn't know the reason, so he said: "Next time you have a letter, you must send it in time. Don't worry about what I am doing. Even if I am giving birth to a son, you must send it in. Do you understand?"
"Ah? Yes!"
The servant was stunned and quickly nodded in agreement.
Zhao Xiaole waved his hand to signal the man to go down, then he entered the room and started looking around by the candlelight.
The empress on the bed said dissatisfiedly: "I'm going to sleep, please get out quickly and don't affect my rest."
"Your current identity is that of my maid, who is the eldest brother-in-law. If you sleep separately, isn't that just a gang?"
Zhao Xiaole replied lightly.
But he continued to read the letter without raising his head.
If the queen hadn't been calling for a long time and the servants didn't dare to come and disturb her, he would have seen this letter long ago.
As for the content of the letter, Zhao Xiaole only read it for a while before he understood what the Minnan King meant.
Sure enough, we had a good conversation with Governor Xunyang.
This Minnan king really doesn't care about his son's life or death, he only thinks that he deserves what he deserves, but what about himself?
We are also mobilizing the people in this area, and there will be a big move in the near future.
After reading it, Zhao Xiaole crushed it into pieces and threw it away.
What kind of big bullshit move?
Isn't his biggest move to select concubines in Fandi?
How old are you? Can you be successful?
And this is also a demonstration to Zhao Xiaole.
If you can catch my sons, I can bear more. It depends on whether you catch more sons or not, I will give birth faster.
If you have the ability, let’s compete?
Zhao Xiaole asked: "Did your Demonic Sect attack the King of Southern Fujian? Did you also send women to seduce him?"
After waiting for a long time, the Queen's cold voice came out, "Do you think our Holy Cult is idle?"
"Don't our women value chastity?"
Zhao Xiaole curled his lips when he heard this and stopped answering.
Come on!
Who is deceiving whom?
Your Demonic sect still values chastity?
Is that flowery chastity meant to be eaten by dogs?
However, what she said before was quite reasonable.
There is really no need for the Demon Sect to invest in the Minnan King. The value of a protector far exceeds that of a Fan King.
The important thing is that the Demon Sect may not necessarily have so many manpower.
If the Demon Sect was not involved, Zhao Xiaole would have breathed a sigh of relief.
Then he blew out the candle.
In the darkness, the Queen Mother's cold voice sounded, "What are you doing?"
"Sleep, what did you say you were doing?"
"Get off to the side and sleep!"
"If you let me sleep on the bed, how about I push you for a little longer tomorrow?"
"..."
"Actually, my heart has always been with the queen, but the queen has never felt it."
"..."
…
On top of the city.
Zhao Xiaole held the telescope and looked far into the distance.
There was also a red slap mark on his face.
When asked what happened as a child?
Zhao Xiaole only speculated that this was my special hobby.
Governor Xunyang did not dare to ask any more questions.
I heard that high-ranking officials have various hobbies, and even he himself has some quirks.
However, I have never seen someone like Zhao Xiaole.
In fact, Zhao Xiaole himself was also depressed.
These girls used to be very proactive, what happened now?
Could it be that it is because she is too petty and still holds grudge against me?
In fact, I have no other intention. I just feel that if the two of them sleep together, they will be warmer. I really don't want to do anything else.
Look, how cool the weather is!
Zhao Xiaole took a hand towel and wiped the sweat on his forehead.
Seeing this, the prefect of Xunyang on the side immediately took out a fan to fan him, and kept telling him to be careful and pay attention!
Zhao Xiaole didn't ask anyone to prepare parasols, mainly because there were too many soldiers here and it was easy for them to lose morale.
Undoubtedly, his approach also attracted the favor of many generals and soldiers.
This place is no longer Xunyang City, but the gateway to Xunyang, Juyongguan!
If the barbarians want to attack Xunyang, they must break through Juyong Pass, which is also the last barrier to defend Xunyang.
If Juyongguan is broken, Xunyang will definitely not be able to survive.
Therefore, knowing that Zhao Xiaole wanted to see Pixiu, it was definitely a good idea to come to Juyong Pass. Maybe with luck, he would be able to see a few stragglers from the other side.
But despite the bright sun, I watched all morning and still didn't see anything.
Zhao Xiaole could only keep turning the telescope, hoping to see a little trace of Pixiu from a farther place.
This telescope was not invented by him, but came from the West.
In fact, glass has a history of five to six thousand years, but the Chinese people mostly use ceramics and don't like it at all.
That's why it has not been passed down.
And Zhao Xiaole couldn't invent this thing either.
I watched it all morning, but Zhao Xiaole didn't see it. I went to look again in the afternoon, but still didn't see it.
It was almost dark when Zhao Xiaole was ready to leave. A general next to him suddenly pointed out: "No, the other party's cavalry is chasing the people. Hurry, open the city gate!"
Zhao Xiaole was stunned for a moment, looked at the direction the general was pointing, and pointed the telescope there again, and indeed saw a few people running away in a hurry.
Behind them were several barbarian cavalrymen. Because they were too far away, Zhao Xiaole could not see their mounts clearly. He only knew that some were riding horses, while others were riding another kind of beast.
As he got closer and closer, he finally saw the opponent's mount clearly.
After seeing it clearly, he couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.
