Xu Mingzhu is actually very tired. She is so tired that she can even exhaust her last bit of strength in her body.

A lady from a businessman, before and after getting married, her inner courtyard with her husband's family was her entire world, wandering around in a small area, graceful and lonely. However, since her husband took office in Xizhou and she followed her willfully, her life has been different from now on.

She saw a bigger world, experienced more things, and took on more responsibilities.

Even she herself could not have imagined that a woman who saved her husband's life could burst out with such incredible power. A weak and helpless woman stood in front of thousands of soldiers and men, and was not inferior to her.

The relationship between husband and wife seems to be not the most important thing in a critical moment. Xu Mingzhu doesn't even know whether her husband is affectionate or ruthless to her. No matter whether she is affectionate or ruthless, she has to do everything she should do, and she has to bear the responsibility she should not bear. From the day she gets married, her life with him is destined to be bound together, unable to separate or break up.

Cheng Chumo rode a camel and caught up from behind. He stretched out his long arms and grabbed the reins of her mount. Xu Mingzhu raised his tired eyes and looked at him blankly.

Cheng Chu sighed silently and shook his head slowly at her: "My brother and sister, I'm going to rest. I haven't stopped for two days and two nights. The gang of bad guys behind him can't stand it anymore. If they continue, they may have a mutiny."

Xu Mingzhu blinked a few times. She was too tired to travel and even slowed down her reaction. After a while, she understood what Cheng Chumo meant, and her pretty face lost its lust suddenly showed a shy expression.

"I'm sorry, Brother Cheng, I'm too impatient, let's take a rest."

Cheng Chumo breathed a sigh of relief, turned his head and yelled back: "The whole army got off the horse and rested!"

Thousands of tired and thirsty soldiers immediately cheered, and they all turned over and dismounted, fell directly on the soft sand, spreading their bodies flat without any manners.

Cheng Chumo turned around and looked at Xu Mingzhu. Seeing that her hair was messy and her expression was extremely tired, he couldn't help but shake his head: "Sister-in-law, come down too. Take a rest for a while. Yumen Pass is thousands of miles from Xizhou, and it can't be completed in a day or two. You can't walk so hard. I'm afraid I'm not lucky enough to walk to Xizhou alive..."

Xu Mingzhu nodded silently, then turned over and got down the camel, found a secluded place to bend her knees, kneeled on the sand, staring blankly, although she was just a temporary rest. However, her kneeling posture was still dignified and obviously had good education.

Cheng Chu looked at her quietly, with a hint of admiration and admiration flashing in his eyes.

My brother is a blessed person. Not only is he awake and capable, but he also married such a responsible and kind wife. If he gets this wife, what else can his husband ask for?

Cheng Chumo looked up at the blue sky, and a faint sadness floated between his eyebrows.

A blessed person, God will not let him die prematurely, right? How bad is the situation in Xizhou...?

"Brother Cheng, husband... it should be fine, right?" Xu Mingzhu asked softly from a distance with her head down.

Cheng Chumo came back to his senses, looked at her with a calm expression, and couldn't help but smile: "It must be nothing. Brother and sister, please relax. With Li Xiandi's lazy personality, it is impossible to hold grape wine in one hand and hold Meijiao in the other... Bah! My stinky mouth!"

Cheng Chumo knew that he had made a mistake, so he slapped himself and said with a smirk: "Don't blame me, brother and sister, I, Cheng, is a rough man. Don't take it to your heart without any restraint..."

Xu Mingzhu still lowered her head and said calmly: "As long as he is safe and sound, even if he is hugging a hundred beautiful ladies at this moment, I will be happy from the bottom of my heart... Brother Cheng. I am a wife and I don't understand the major affairs of the country at all. That's what you men do, so I can't see any clues about the situation in Xizhou. Is Brother Cheng's advice now... safe as before?"

Cheng Chu was silent for a moment, Zhan Yan smiled and said, "My brother and sister are really worried. Although Xizhou is an isolated city, it is under the rule of my Tang Dynasty. In recent years, the Tang Dynasty swept through the four barbarians. No one can defeat the small countries in the Western Regions. They are all scabies. They dare not risk offending the Tang Dynasty to seize Xizhou. So Li Su is sure to be safe and safe, so brother and sister are at ease."

"If it's safe and sound, why did Brother Cheng lead the veterans of the village from Chang'an to help from a thousand miles day and night? Brother Cheng, you are actually very worried. The situation in Xizhou is not as easy as you said, right?" Xu Mingzhu finally raised her head and smiled silently at Cheng Chu: "I thank you Brother Cheng for your comfort. Although it is just a comfort, I still received it very much."

A hint of embarrassment flashed across Cheng Chumo's face, and he smiled bitterly and shook his head.

"You woman, you look weak and strong. What is rare is that you have feelings and righteousness. My good brother married you, but it was a blessing I cultivated in my previous life." Cheng Chumo sighed sincerely.

Xu Mingzhu smiled sadly and shook her head and said, "No, Brother Cheng is wrong. Being able to marry your husband is the blessing I have cultivated in my previous life. I was born as a businessman and had a low status. My husband married me. Although he treated me with kindness and politeness, it was just his good upbringing. In fact, I know that the person in my heart is not me. I was forced to marry me as a business woman. My husband has always felt very wronged. My husband has made countless contributions to the country at a young age. He is a person with great ambitions and great abilities. He is a horse-controlling army and dismounted to govern the people. I really don't do much for him, but just fulfilling his duties as a wife... I am still not worthy of him after all."

Cheng Chumo frowned and said in a deep voice: "You are so good at saying this. My brother is not the kind of person who looks down on merchants. Besides, my brother and sister are rushing back and forth to save his life for thousands of miles to ask for advice, and even risk killing the clan to hold the guards of Yumen Pass. They rushed to the rescue for two days and two nights without stopping. Even rough men can't stand it. You, a weak woman, gritted your teeth and held it down. A woman can do this for her man. Who in the world dares to say that you are not worthy of my brother Li?"

After pausing, Cheng Chumo hesitated for a moment, but couldn't help but say, "Don't blame me for being a Lao Cheng for not having any score in his words. Your husband is a county conferred by His Majesty, and you are also the lady of the imperial decree personally enthroned by His Majesty. You are a person with status, and your identity is much more noble than ordinary women. You dare not say such self-deprecating words in the future, let alone any nonsense that is worthy of being worthy. From the moment you ask for help from thousands of miles away, no one in the world is more worthy of Brother Li Xian than you! Even Old Cheng has looked up to you from now on. If Brother Li Xian suffers grievances in the future, I Old Cheng will support you!"

Xu Mingzhu forced a chuckling and said, "Thank you, Brother Cheng, for your righteousness. This is insignificant thing for me, I ran around and asked for advice and held the Yumen Pass guard hostage. After these things were done, I felt that I couldn't believe it. I don't know if he would scold me after seeing my husband in the future..."

Cheng Chumo was happy: "Don't worry, Brother Li is too grateful, so why would he scold you? You are too worried. I, Cheng, can't accept it. A weak woman, relying on a guard and a broken knife, dared to hold the guards of Yumen Pass hostage and force him to mobilize his troops. And you have done this. Tsk! Awesome!"

A blush suddenly flashed across Xu Mingzhu's pale face. After a moment of shyness, she raised her head uncomfortably and brushed her messy hair.

As he spoke, the sun shifted a little more. It was getting late. Xu Mingzhu showed anxiety again. She turned her head and looked at the group of soldiers who were lying on the ground behind. Seeing that the soldiers were still listless and laying on the ground, they looked at their faces, and they were afraid they would not be able to get off the road for a while.

Xu Mingzhu hesitated for a moment, finally sighed softly, suppressing her anxiety and allowing the soldiers to rest for a while.

The kneeling posture was still as standard as a ruler. Xu Mingzhu lowered her head and said softly: "I know that Brother Cheng and your husband are good brothers. I must know your husband's past? Brother Cheng, can you tell me about your husband and... Princess Dongyang? He and her... had a lot of trouble in the city, right?"

Cheng Chumo was stunned for a moment, and his expression suddenly became a little embarrassed. He scratched his head and laughed a few times, saying, "This matter...hahahaha... I dare not hide it from my brother and sister. I really don't know much. Old Cheng is a rough man and never cared about love affairs between men and women. Li Xiandi didn't say it carefully, and I was too lazy to ask. Of course, the conversation between men is about men, women, hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

While laughing awkwardly, Cheng Chumo suddenly stood up and shouted to the back: "The rest is almost done. We are not here to enjoy the scenery in the desert. My brothers are still waiting for us to help in Xizhou. Brothers, please help me, suffer, get up, continue to march!"

Most of the more than 4,000 soldiers were elite defenders of Yumen Pass, and one thousand were veterans of Cheng's village, all elite soldiers who were prohibited. When Cheng Chu shouted silently, everyone stood up and silently stepped onto the camel.

Xu Mingzhu also rode a camel and looked into the endless desert. Under the blue sky in the distance, there was still a white desert where hope was invisible.

Xu Mingzhu sighed quietly, if this time I could save my husband's life, could I go into his world? I... can I be worthy of him, right?

*********************************************************************

Xizhou.

Early the next morning after retreating, the enemy finally launched an attack. The shock and panic created by the thunder yesterday seemed to have disappeared today. When the horn of the attack sounded, the enemy began to attack the city.

There were drums outside the city rumbling and shouts of killing were everywhere.

The enemy troops were like a group of locusts passing through the border, rushing towards the city. On the city, the Panlong Yellow Flag, which represents the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, stood steadily on the arrow tower and drifted in the wind.

Xizhou is still the city of the Tang Dynasty.

"Shoot the arrow!" Li Su was covered in armor, with a ferocious expression, and a muffled sound of bowstrings, and a dark rain of arrows shot ruthlessly at the enemy attacking the city. Screams under the city wall suddenly came one after another. Countless enemy troops fell to the ground after arrows, and then were filled by the people behind.
