Xu Xiao brought the five soldiers who had escaped earlier, as well as the prince and Xu Jia. They traveled out of the city for a long time, but the rain was still heavy!
They were all soaked by the rain, and just then they found a cave, so they took shelter inside! The five soldiers and Prince Lao Lei stood at the entrance of the cave, shivering, looking at the road outside, and judging:
"Prince, Captain Xu! At the rate we're going, we'll reach our destination by evening!" Then they looked back and saw that Xu Xiaoyi and the others had already set up a pot and burned firewood, ready to cook something to eat!
Where did this pot and firewood come from?! Aren't we supposed to travel light? I was the one who checked the cave just now, and there was clearly nothing there!
Lin Huaizhi also rubbed his eyes in confusion. Did he see it wrong?
"Come and warm yourself by the fire together." Xu Xiaoyi said to them:
They did not refuse and gathered together by the fire, and the yellow warmth brought by the flames warmed them up and made them fall asleep!
Then the pot began to boil, and Xu Xiaoyi added a bunch of ingredients from behind him. The soldiers, the prince, and Lao Lei were all looking around, because there was clearly nothing behind him just now!
Xu Xiaoyi then took out bowls and distributed them to everyone, and the group began to eat! They ate the vegetables in the pot! But they didn't dare to pick up the meat!
"Eat meat! Don't just eat vegetables!" Xu Xiaoyi shouted:
The group of soldiers swallowed and said:
"Just drinking this delicious soup is enough to make me happy. Thank you, Commander Xu! Besides, we didn't bring much meat! You noble people can just eat it, Prince!"
"No, no, just give me more! There's still plenty!" Xu Xiaoyi took out handfuls of hot pot ingredients from his sleeves and put them into the pot. Then he took out a large piece of sliced beef and put it in. He stirred the pot, waited a few seconds, and used a spoon to give some to everyone!
The group was stunned. How could Captain Xu's sleeves hold so much? Lin Huaizhi was also confused, but he still ate first as a gesture of respect and to warm himself up!
"Xu Xiaoyi, how do you plan to destroy the dike?" Lin Huaizhi asked after taking a bite of beef, and at the same time felt that the beef was delicious!
Xu Xiaoyi looked at him while drinking soup from a bowl. After he finished drinking, he said with a heavy expression:
"This mission is difficult, and I might be sacrificed."
[Thunder Seal's shocking reward*10]
[Lin Huaizhi's shocking reward *100]
"What do you mean?" Lin Huaizhi frowned and asked doubtfully:
Xu Xiaoyi said calmly:
"The lake is heavily guarded, and the levee has been specially raised. There's an ambush on the way here, which means we have spies. They know our plan, and this time, let alone our actions, they don't know! And I asked you to go back and bring people, but I didn't expect you to only bring Lao Lei with you.
Alas, there is no other way. I have to go into battle myself and use all the force I have learned in my life to destroy the dam! Then I will…"
"No! You can't go!" Lin Huaizhi shouted, interrupting Xu Xiaoyi. He was obviously nervous when he heard that there would be sacrifices!
"Prince, I have already promised the general that as a soldier, this death is an honor for me!" Xu Xiaoyi looked at him with a strong gaze!
Lin Huaizhi felt annoyed by his gaze, and a feeling of powerlessness arose in his heart. How could this happen? He came out with hope. He thought Xu Xiaoyi had a way, and that he must have some ideas to take on the task so decisively. What he didn't expect was that he planned to use his own life to destroy the dam!
"Xu Xiaoyi! Don't jump to conclusions! There must be a way! You must not die! What will happen to my sister if you die!" Lin Huaizhi was very anxious!
Xu Xiaoyi shook his head at this time, put down the bowl, patted Lin Huaizhi's shoulder, and said affectionately:
"Devote oneself to the country, not to talk about love--" Xu Xiaoyi deliberately dragged out the words. He stood up and slowly walked to the cave entrance, looking at the rain falling outside with melancholy. Then he turned back with loss, looked at the floor and said:
"Tell Sheng Wan for me that I am not a good father."
[Luo Qingcheng's shocking reward*100]
[Lin Huaizhi's shocking reward *100]
…………
Lin Huaizhi suddenly raised his head and looked at Xu Xiaoyi. Father? Could it be...
"Sheng Wan is pregnant with your child?" Lin Huaizhi asked in shock:
At this time, Xu Xiaoyi raised his head slightly and looked at Lin Huaizhi with a relieved smile. Tears kept flashing in his eyes, as if stars were stuffed in them!
Lin Huaizhi dropped the bowl in shock. He was shocked to see Xu Xiaoyi glowing at the entrance of the cave. Tears kept flowing down his face. Only then did he clearly understand Xu Xiaoyi. He turned out to be such a great man! Why was it Xu Xiaoyi? He was just a playboy whom I hated! No! He was a father and a soldier. He had no choice! Is this the cruelty of the battlefield?
Lin Huaizhi covered his chest, feeling extremely uncomfortable.
At this time, Xu Jia and Xu Yi were picking their noses in the back and whispered:
"Xu Jia, the prince is being treated like a dog! (whispering)"
"Shh! The adults must have their reasons for doing this! (whispering)"
………
Then they continued on their journey in the rain. Everyone was silent along the way, especially Lin Huaizhi. He felt sad for the first time. Since he became the crown prince, his life had always been smooth sailing. He had not experienced such a feeling of separation from life and death for a long time, except when he was a child and joined the army.
"Captain Xu! That's the building ahead. Once you go inside, you'll see a lake. There are about two hundred Qi soldiers guarding it." The soldier explained to Xu Xiaoyi:
