Chapter 11

Feng Shi died, died on the battlefield, and died bravely.

Xiao Zhen slowly held the honest blacksmith's shoulders, and his bloody fingers became tighter and tighter, trembling faintly.

As long as you fight, people will die. Xiao Zhen joined the army at the age of 20. In six years, he has witnessed countless men falling down, but Feng Shi is different from so many people. Xiao Zhen admires Feng Shi's natural divine power. He appreciates Feng Shi's cheerful character, although he is short, but never inferior. He pitys Feng Shi's rare pure kindness.

The more stupid Feng Shi was, the more Xiao Zhen wanted to take care of him. He was much dissatisfied with Su Jin, but Feng Shi liked Su Jin, so Xiao Zhen tried his best to tolerate Su Jin's shortcomings.

Now, the most honest blacksmith in the world is dead, and he dies to save him.

The veins on the back of the hand bulge and the blood vessels are stretched out so that they can't tighten, so the hands slowly return to normal.

Xiao Zhen was lying on the ground. After all the emotions were swelling, he looked to one side.

A circle of Liang soldiers surrounded him, Gao Kuang rode on his horse, looking at Xiao Zhen with complicated eyes. In a short moment, he saw a pair of real brothers who were willing to sacrifice their lives for each other. Gao Kuang admired such a man, so he gave the two time to say goodbye and did not allow his soldiers to take the opportunity to take action.

There was a constant sound of fighting in the distance and the sound of weapons colliding. Xiao Zhen's hand stroked Feng Shi's eyes, and then he pushed Feng Shi away and picked up the spear.

The Liang soldiers immediately raised their spears and were ready to attack at any time.

"Everyone retreats, no one is allowed to intervene without my order." Staring at Xiao Zhen, Gao Kuang ordered in a deep voice. The Great Zhou was coming with great momentum, Gao Kuang had no intention of living today. He could fight a real opponent before his death, and Gao Kuang was satisfied.

After ordering, the soldiers took a few steps back.

Xiao Zhen stepped onto the horse with an expressionless face and looked at Gao Qun, his eyes were as cold as ice.

"Dare you ask the name of the warrior Gao?" Gao Kuang bowed to him, and his passion soared into the sky.

Xiao Zhen looked at his brother who would never foolishly call him "Master Xiao" and said coldly: "Yangzhou blacksmith, Feng Shi."

The Liang generals who wanted to kill Feng Shi took this name to meet the King of Hell.

A fierce battle lasted for a whole day. Gao Kuang, the chief general of the Beiliang, was stabbed in the throat by Xiao Zhen and died. The fugitive emperor was captured alive by Huo Weizhang, the escort leader of the Liao King.

In this battle, Beiliang was completely destroyed and Dazhou won.

The King of Liao was full of energy and led the army to triumph. The army walked slowly. The good news first spread to the cities in the north. The people cheered and encouraged each day. Every day, they hoped that the husband or son who joined the army would return soon. The soldiers also looked forward to reunite with their families as soon as possible and walk as fast as possible.

After the army was dispersed, Li Yong, the commander of Zhangcheng Guard, led the five thousand soldiers and horses under his command to return to Zhangcheng in an orderly manner.

On the way, Li Yong smiled and said to Xiao Zhen: "This time you killed five generals including Gao Kuang, and made meritorious contributions second only to Commander Huo, who captured Emperor Liang alive. Just wait for the court to reward merits!"

There was no smile on Xiao Zhen's cold face, and his black eyes looked deep and looked at the city gate in the distance. There, the people came to welcome the triumphant relatives one after another.

Seeing this, Li Yong sighed secretly. He knew Xiao Zhen’s relationship with Feng Shi.

"It's a pity Feng Shi." Another Lord Li, who was loyal to Mr. Wu, said with regret, and looked at Xiao Zhen's hard side face as he spoke, "I heard that Feng Shi's wife came from Yangzhou to reunite with him... Alas, when she met later, Lord Xiao must be kind to comfort her."

Xiao Zhen clenched the reins.

What he fears most now is Su Jin and his son.

However, the city gate is getting closer and closer.

Xiao Zhen's breathing was suffocating, but he still looked at the crowd, looking for the figures of Su Jin and his son.

Just a glance, Xiao Zhen saw the woman.

It was early April, spring was blooming, and the willows were swaying, and the women were dressing more colorful. Among the colorful flowers, Su Jin was wearing a white embroidered short shirt and a big red long skirt. He led the six-year-old Archer at the front of the crowd, put his toes on his head and stretched his neck to look behind him, looking out of his heart. He was eagerly looking forward to it.

"Sir, Archer told me last night that he wanted me to carry him to enjoy the lanterns. The little brat, finally he doesn't dislike me anymore!"

"Sir, when we go back, I want to hang a few more lanterns in the yard and add them to Archer."

"Sir, Archer..."

Xiao Zhen suddenly withdrew his gaze and raised his head slightly.

When the army arrived at the city gate, the people warmly welcomed it. Xiao Zhen should have entered the city with Li Yong and other generals, but when the team was about to walk to the leading people, Xiao Zhen suddenly rode his horse out, then turned over and dismounted, and walked towards Su Jin step by step.

Su Jin looked at the man with a heavy face and shook his body slightly.

Feng Shi and Xiao Zhen have always been inseparable. She just searched for her for a long time but couldn't see Feng Shi. Now Xiao Zhen is like this...

Su Jin's heart sank little by little, and his face, which was reddened by the warm sun, quickly turned white.

In his mind, Su Jin suddenly resisted Xiao Zhen's approach. He held his son with one hand and unconsciously supported his lower abdomen with the other. Su Jin wanted to turn around.

Archer didn't understand his mother's thoughts, and he didn't notice the change in his mother's face. He grabbed her with his little hand. He raised his head and asked Xiao Qianhu, who had always been afraid of: "Sir, where is my father?"

The boy has a fair face and a shiny black peach blossom eyes. He wants his father who has been away from home for three months.

Facing such eyes, Xiao Zhen's throat rolled, but he couldn't say it.

Behind him, a mule cart left the team and leaned over steadily. On the cart was a coffin with red lipstick.

Archer was stunned.

Su Jin looked at the coffin getting closer and closer, and suddenly, the world was silent.

Aunt Liu couldn't believe it, covered her chest and asked Xiao Zhen with a trembling voice: "Sir, where is Feng, where is Feng Shiren?"

Xiao Zhen looked at her and then Su Jin. When he met Su Jin's dull gaze, he lowered his eyes and said guiltily: "In order to save me, Feng Shi was in the iron crossbow and was so angry that he was on the spot."

Extremely angry?

Just die, right?

Su Jin smiled, laughing and crying, as if she was crazy, she rushed to the mule cart, punched and kicked Feng Shi's coffin, and even tried to drag the coffin off the cart, cursing: "You short-lived ghost, you short-lived ghost, let's forget about others bullying me, even you bullied me! If you ask you to run away, you don't run away, and you are going to die for others. Do you think I'm living too well? You short-lived ghost, leave us orphans and widows, your conscience is eaten by the dog?"

The woman is sad and crying for her husband, the boy is crying loudly, and the father is crying.

Before we knew it, the marching team stopped, and the people watched silently, sighing.

Xiao Zhen's eyes were red and he was about to kneel down to apologize to the mother and son. Aunt Liu walked over crying and hugged the crazy Su Jin and persuaded him: "My mother, don't do this. Feng Shi has left. If you don't care about yourself, you have to think about the children in your stomach!"

As soon as this said, Su Jin was fixed on the spot as if he had been lit with acupuncture, and then lowered his head stiffly.

The breeze blew, making her dress press against her body, outlining the slightly raised shape of her lower abdomen.

Su Jin suddenly laughed, laughing sadly.

She married Feng Shi with someone else's flesh and blood. When she gave birth to Archer, she almost killed her life. After giving birth, she lost her vitality. The doctor prescribed a prescription and told her to take good care of her, otherwise she would be difficult to get pregnant again. Su Jin was young and energetic, and was anxious to do business and make money, so she threw the doctor's instructions to stay in bed for three months and sold buns shortly after her confinement.

Unexpectedly, in the next three years, her belly didn't move any more.

Su Jin regretted it very much, but regretting it was useless. She could only go to see the doctor again and then take good care of it.

In the first month of the year, Feng Shi and Dajun set off for a few days, she vomited and then became pregnant for more than a month.

Su Jin was very happy. Feng Shi liked children, and she always wanted to have a baby for Feng Shi. This year, there was good news. Su Jin was more and more hoping that Feng Shi would come back soon so as to tell him this great good news. One night, she dreamed that Feng Shi was going home. The short blacksmith easily picked her up and raised her up, smiling foolishly.

However, my belly is getting bigger and bigger, Feng Shi...

The lower abdomen suddenly hurt a little, as if the child was protesting against her just now. Su Jin panicked. Feng Shi had already left. The baby in her belly would be Feng Shi's only bloodline. She would not allow it to make any mistakes!

"Aunt Liu, help me back." He lowered his head and never looked at the coffin again. Su Jin felt heartbroken.

Aunt Liu hurriedly and helped Su Jin carefully and walked back slowly. Before leaving, Aunt Liu entrusted Archer who was cried on the mule cart and lying on the coffin to Xiao Zhen.

Xiao Zhen looked at Su Jin's figure in surprise.

The young woman, who was only twenty years old, had a graceful figure. If she hadn't heard Aunt Liu say with her own ears, Xiao Zhen would not believe that Su Jin was pregnant.

Su Jin, is Feng Shi's child pregnant?

Feng Shi has a deep resignation, Xiao Zhen sincerely is happy for Feng Shi, but...

On the way back, Xiao Zhen carefully considered the arrangements of Su Jin and his son. As soon as Feng Shi left, Su Jin became a widow, and was still a beautiful and charming widow. Xiao Zhen continued to live together. After a long time, rumors might be heard. Xiao Zhen decided to wait for the imperial court to give it to Su Jin and his son. Then he bought a maid and servant to serve him. In this way, Su Jin had no worries about food and clothing, which was what he promised to Feng Shi to take care of.

As for Archer, since Feng Shi regarded Archer as his own flesh and blood, Xiao Zhen would take care of himself. When Archer wanted to study literature, he would provide Archer with his studies and take the imperial examination. When Archer wanted to practice martial arts, he would bring Archer with him and teach everything he knew to Archer.

But now, Su Jin is pregnant, a widow who is pregnant. If he arranges her to move out at this time, what would Su Jin think?

Xiao Zhen couldn't do it. At least, he had to wait until Su Jin finished giving birth to the place where the three of them lived.

When Xiao Zhen hugged Archer who had fainted from crying, he returned to Qianhu Mansion, Su Jin had already finished seeing the doctor.

The doctor said that she had a fetal aura and as long as she acted carefully and stopped being too emotional, she would be fine.

Su Jin lay honestly in the quilt, trying hard to persuade him.

Why cry? Is it useful to cry? Men who can't die even if they cry, they should save energy and nourish their fetus instead of spending their energy.

Su Jin felt very uncomfortable when her loving husband died, but she had experienced too many blows since childhood. Practice made perfect, and she recovered faster than ordinary people.

Just like being abandoned by a scholar at the time, Su Jin thought more about the next step, rather than immersing himself in the past.

"Sister-in-law, the adult is back. He asked me to ask you, is it convenient to speak now?" Chuntao came in and asked Su Jin worriedly.

Su Jin closed his eyes and said, "I'm very tired now. If you go back to the adults, it means that he is free every day and can call me over at any time."
