After dinner, Zhou Gu, his cousins Cui Xingzhi and Cui Yanjin re-formulated strategies on how to defend the city when the Wei siege tomorrow.
The biggest difference from the previous two times is that the people from the Guisha sect brought by Cui Yanjin must be used to their fullest advantage.
Cui Yanjin geared up, "Cousin, don't worry, you'll see tomorrow!"
Zhou Gu was not at ease, "You have also seen today that the people in Wei's poisonous medicine sect are very powerful. If the estimate is correct, Luo Yan will go to the battlefield tomorrow."
Cui Yanjin said: "As for the Poison Medicine Sect, I know they are not as powerful as my Guisha Sect."
Zhou Gu looked at him and said, "You are young, don't be too arrogant, and don't underestimate your opponents. People from the Poison Medicine Sect are really powerful. Anyone who comes into contact with poisonous mucus will die. If not for this, Nanchu would not have injured so many soldiers. "
Cui Yanjin patted his chest and promised, "Don't worry, cousin, I saw everything today. Tomorrow there will be at most one more leader of their poisonous doctor sect! Wait until I lead my men to kill her and avenge you."
Zhou Gu wanted to smile, "It's a good thing that you have such confidence."
He said to Cui Xingzhi: "Keep an eye on him tomorrow and have someone protect him. Don't be too rash."
Cui Xingzhi nodded, "Don't worry, cousin, my little cousin is still very measured. Today, his hands were extremely itchy, but after saving his cousin, he protected her and did not do anything. Tomorrow, I will let him practice on the battlefield. I'll keep an eye on him."
Zhou Gu nodded.
Cui Yanjin whispered, "Cousin, you underestimate me."
Zhou Gu refused to admit it, "No, I just want to tell you not to underestimate your opponent."
Cui Yanjin nodded heavily, thinking that he would never underestimate his opponent, and he would impress him tomorrow. Since he was born, his grandfather asked his mother to give him medicinal baths. When he was one year old, he learned to identify poisons. When he was two years old, his grandfather personally opened his eight meridians and learned martial arts. By the age of three, he had already poisoned people. . Although Gui Sha Sect does not specialize in poison medicine, its use of poison is not inferior to that of the poison medicine sect. Tomorrow I will have a good competition with them.
After Cui Xingzhi had a good discussion with Zhou Gu, Zhou Gu waved his hand and told him to rest in his room and go to the city gate early tomorrow morning.
Cui Xingzhi looked at a big bed in the room and then at Zhou Gu.
Zhou Gu raised his eyebrows, "What? Have you ever slept with someone? After leaving Qinghe, don't be too particular. This Tongbing Mansion is full of people. If you go out and choose another place, it will be a waste of time."
"No." Cui Xingzhi smiled, "Listen to my cousin."
"What about me?" Cui Yanjin asked.
"You sleep here too." Zhou Gu said.
"Are the three of us sleeping together?" Cui Yanjin opened his eyes wide. He had never slept with anyone before, and there were three of them.
"Can't you? The bed is so big that it can't hold you?" Zhou Gu looked at him, "Then you go to sleep on the footrest?"
"I don't want it." Cui Yanjin immediately shook his head.
"Then let's sleep together." Zhou Gu moved to the innermost side of the bed first.
Cui Yanjin looked at Cui Xingzhi.
Cui Xingzhi patted his head and said, "Stay next to my cousin. I will leave after a while. You can sleep a little longer."
Cui Yanjin scratched his head, nodded silently, and got into bed very freshly, lying in the middle of the big bed next to Zhou Gu.
Cui Xingzhi turned off the light with his hand and lay down on the outermost side.
There are three people lying on this bed, so it's not too crowded.
Zhou Gu fell asleep the fastest. He had been worried earlier, knowing that Cui Xingzhi had no choice but to leave the overall defense of Heiyaguan to Cui Xingzhi. Although his cousin was talented and had dabbled in some military books, he had never been in a military camp. He had experienced actual combat, but now that he had just arrived at Heiya Pass, he was suddenly ordered to take on such a heavy burden. He was afraid that he would be in a hurry and not be able to straighten things out, so he forced himself to wake up because of worries in his heart. Now he heard Cui Xingzhi say that Zhang Yun was dragging his injuries. After helping him to sort out the post-war affairs, and he had people from Guishamen helping to strengthen the defense of the city gates and walls. Hearing that he got started very quickly and in an orderly manner, he finally felt relieved, breathed a sigh of relief, and no longer held on. , so he fell asleep in an instant.
Cui Yanjin heard Zhou Gu's even breathing in a blink of an eye, and whispered to Cui Xingzhi: "Cousin, can you sleep?"
"Can't sleep." Cui Xingzhi was pretentious, thinking about tomorrow's battle arrangements, and closed his eyes to rest.
"I can't sleep either." Cui Yanjin asked in a low voice, "Have you noticed that my cousin is different from before? He was the most particular person in the past, right?"
Cui Xingzhi said "Hmm". The rules of the East Palace are very strict, and everyone is very particular about it. Princess Sheng'an is in the Protector's Mansion, and her aunt manages the family well. Although the Protector's Mansion is a general, there is really not much vulgarity. My brother spends more time in the East Palace than in the Duke Protector's Mansion, and he can be said to be a noble person.
If it was him before, he probably wouldn't like sharing a bed with others, but now he actually took the initiative to let their two cousins share a bed with him.
Cui Yanjin sighed softly, "Hey, cousin, it's not easy."
Cui Xingzhi patted his arm and said, "Just rest. Don't wake up my cousin. He can't sleep and squints."
Cui Yanjin whispered "Yeah" in a low voice.
After Zhang Mao and Ning Ze woke up, they ate, drank medicine, and hurried to the city gate.
After the two arrived at the city gate, they saw countless people working at the city gate. A closer look revealed that they were reinforcing the city wall, and they were both stunned.
Ning Ze approached an old man who was conducting the command and asked, "Old man, what are you..."
The old man turned around and saluted Ning Ze and Zhang Mao, "Go back to the two young masters, I have followed the order of Mr. Xingzhi to help strengthen the city wall."
"Your method seems to be very special." Zhang Mao said.
The old man chuckled and said, "We are members of the Guisha sect and are good at mechanism techniques. Therefore, strengthening the city wall is not a problem. Not only reinforcement, we can also set up mechanisms. But because the time is too short, only one night, we can only set up simple mechanisms. , Otherwise, if we are given a few more days, as long as the Wei Dynasty attacks the city, it will use mechanism techniques and hidden weapons to cause heavy losses to the soldiers of the Wei Dynasty."
Zhang Mao was overjoyed, "It's really amazing."
Ning Ze was also overjoyed, "It's great to have you here."
The old man said: "Both young masters seem to be seriously injured. We are here, so you just go and rest."
Zhang Mao and Ning Ze shook their heads, "Our injuries are not serious."
The two of them did not leave, but followed the people from Guishamen to set up the city gate.
So, when Cui Xingzhi took a nap for an hour and came to the city gate, he saw Zhang Mao and Ning Ze moving bricks with others. After one night, the city gate and wall have changed their appearance.
When he came closer, the two men also saw him, and quickly put down their work and greeted him.
Cui Xingzhi also quickly returned the gift.
Ning Ze said familiarly: "Brother Xing, thank you and your little cousin for bringing people to help, otherwise we would all have gone to see the King of Hell. I cannot thank you enough for your kindness."
Cui Xingzhi smiled slightly and said, "Brother Ning, there is no need to be polite. It's okay. I and my cousin will stay in Nanchu in the future. I hope you will take good care of me."
Ning Ze was surprised and happy, "That's it. That's great. It must be true."
