Drive a RV and go farming in ancient times.

The night before the siege, Xu Huaiyi took some time out of his busy schedule to go into the RV and explain the upcoming itinerary and arrangements to Gu Huanxi so that she could rest assured.

But after hearing this, Gu Huanxi stared at him and asked, "You didn't lie to me, did you?"

Xu Huaiyi looked innocent, "Wife, who do you think I am? I can fool anyone but you. Besides, what's there to fool about me? I even dare to tell you the battle plan. This is a great trust..."

Gu Huanxi was unmoved and sneered, "Don't give me that crap. Is the battle plan you just mentioned all there is? Just because you used drones to scout out the enemy's situation in advance, can you guarantee a foolproof victory?"

"Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be in danger in a hundred battles..." Xu Huaiyi smiled flatteringly, "Don't underestimate this, otherwise why did scouts exist in ancient times?"

Gu Huanxi snorted, "The scouts can't enter the city again, or have you arranged a traitor to cooperate with the outside? If not, don't we have to storm? At any time, the casualties of a storm are huge, not to mention that it is winter now, which makes it even more difficult. Are you willing to let the soldiers die?"

Xu Huaiyi touched his nose and explained dryly, "Well, we have other plans, how can we attack by force?"

"What arrangements?" Gu Huanxi pressed on. "What do you mean by turning the tables?"

Xu Huaiyi smiled wryly, "Yeah, isn't this a brilliant move? I deliberately revealed a little bit of the siege plan to the traitor, and the other party has already sent the news out, so the timing is quite different. By then, we can catch the rebels off guard. There are also some changes in the deployment of troops. The rebels have misjudged the situation and must be in a panic..."

Gu Huanxi frowned and interrupted, "Don't talk about other things. You know what I want to ask. No matter how good and ingenious your battle plan is, someone has to go to attack the city. The city gate cannot be opened from the inside. So, who will lead the assault? You want to do it yourself, right?"

"young married woman……"

"to be frank!"

Xu Huaiyi could no longer be vague and coughed guiltily, "Well, it was indeed me who went..."

"Xu Huaiyi!" Gu Huanxi raised his voice, wishing he could beat him up. "What did you promise me in the beginning? Not to do anything dangerous, and not to be so prominent again. Have you forgotten?"

"I didn't forget, I..."

"Why did you take on this task if you haven't forgotten? Don't say that Master Sun gave you an order. I don't believe it. He values ​​you so much that he definitely doesn't want you to take risks. No one else can force you. You can only ask for it on your own initiative, right?"

"Daughter-in-law, I..."

"Shut up, you liar. Does our family still need military merit? We've said we're going to live in seclusion, why are you still fighting for this kind of merit? Don't you think it's not high-profile enough? Do you think your title of Earl is not enough and you want to expand your territory?"

Xu Huaiyi tried to explain several times but was interrupted every time. Seeing that his wife's eyes were red, he hurriedly hugged her tightly to comfort her.

Gu Huanxi struggled a few times, but it was useless. Instead, he broke out in a sweat and became even more furious. He could not help but beat and twist his body and cursed again.

Xu Huaiyi listened obediently, and when she had no more strength and had let out her anger, he said aggrievedly, "Wife, am I the kind of person who loves to show off and is vain?"

"Humph!"

"Wife, I really didn't mean anything else. Okay, I admit that I did take the initiative to ask to attack the city, but my purpose was not to gain credit, but just to save the lives of the soldiers."

"What about you?" Gu Huanxi's anger finally came back. "Are you made of iron? Are you indestructible? How can you be so great? Are you willing to sacrifice yourself for others?"

"Wife, I'm not great at all. I'm afraid of death. I must be confident that I can protect myself before I'm willing to take on such a dangerous mission!" Xu Huaiyi explained humbly, "Have you forgotten the RV? With the RV, how can I be in danger?"

Gu Huanxi choked. She was so angry that she forgot about the life-saving plug-in of the RV. But she still said stubbornly, "The RV is not omnipotent."

"Yes, yes, I didn't expect it to count on it," Xu Huaiyi said good-temperedly, "I am not taking people to climb the city wall. How can I suddenly say I won't see you in front of everyone? Wouldn't that be exposing my secret? I am going to blow up the city gate!"

Gu Huanxi sat up straight from his arms and asked, "Blow up the city gate?"

Xu Huaiyi nodded. "Under the cover of night, I will take the explosives and blow up the city gate. This way, we don't have to sacrifice too many soldiers, we can minimize casualties and maximize benefits. As for me, I can ignite the explosives and hide in the RV. There is no danger at all. But if it were someone else, it would be difficult to hide. So only I can go. It is the most appropriate and most likely to succeed."

"only you?"

"Well, I must be the only one to blow up the city gate. If there are more people, I can't cast the magic of invisibility, right? However, there must be someone behind me to help me cover or something, otherwise how can I rush to the vicinity of the city gate? They have to help me attract firepower. In terms of danger, they are far more dangerous than me, but in terms of rewards, I get the most, so I'm getting a big bargain this time."

"You're still proud, aren't you?"

"No, absolutely not. I didn't go there to take advantage of others. Really, I just felt pity for those soldiers. If I just blew up the city gate, I could save many innocent lives. Wife, I really can't just stand by and watch them die. It would be fine if I didn't have the ability, but I do. How can I just stand by and watch?"

Gu Huanxi was silent for a moment.

Xu Huaiyi looked at her cautiously and didn't dare to say anything more.

After a while, Gu Huanxi exhaled, "Since you have made up your mind, just do it, so that you won't have any regrets and blame me in the future."

"Wife, do you really agree?"

"I'm not agreeing, I'm just not stopping you and respecting your choice."

Hearing this, Xu Huaiyi felt extremely guilty. "Wife, I promise that I will never get hurt. From now on, unless there is a reason why I must be there, I will never take risks, and I will never show off."

Gu Huanxi snorted without comment. If a man cannot keep his promise, he will always have countless reasons to fool a woman.

She would be stupid to take it seriously.

After seeing Xu Huaiyi off, Gu Huanxi stopped thinking about anything, let his mind go, and soon fell asleep.

When things cannot be changed, all we can do is accept them calmly.

Anyway, they were thousands of miles apart, so no matter how anxious and worried she was, she couldn't help, not even stop him.

However, no matter how well he prepared himself mentally, after dinner the next day, Gu Huanxi still couldn't concentrate on reading and practicing calligraphy.

After she coaxed her daughter to bed early, she went into the RV and waited.

It was already twelve o'clock in the night when we waited.

She was drowsy and began to doze off on the sofa, when suddenly she felt a chill rushing in, which made her shiver all over and suddenly wake up.

When she opened her eyes, it was indeed Xu Huaiyi. He was wearing all black, and his head and face were wrapped in black cotton cloth, leaving only his eyes exposed. If they had not been a couple living together for several years, she would not have recognized him.

"Done?"

"Well, I guess so. A big hole has been blown in the city gate, so we should be able to get in and out..."

Gu Huanxi rushed over, looked him up and down, and asked, "Are you not hurt?"

Xu Huaiyi pulled off the cloth on his face and laughed heartlessly, "Don't worry, who am I? How can I not be able to escape? After lighting the fuse, I dodged it, it's hard for me to get hurt."

"Then how do you know to blast a big hole?"

"Uh, that, hey, I just slipped in. I was pretty fast and barely stopped. You were asleep and didn't notice."

Gu Huanxi sneered, "So, this is your second time coming in? You were worried, and only got into the car to hide after you saw the hole in the city gate exploded with your own eyes, right?"

Xu Huaiyi explained with a wry smile, "I just dodged once, really, otherwise how could I not be injured? I calculated the time well, and I flashed in at the moment of the explosion, and was not affected at all. When I got out, the explosives were all used up, and there was a big crack at the city gate..."

"Then why did you come in?" Gu Huanxi angrily hit him twice, stirring up dust all over her body, choking her and causing her to turn her head and cough.

Xu Huaiyi patted her back to calm her down. "I just came in to tell you so that you can rest assured. The mission was completed. I wasn't injured or suffered. I just ate some dust and foam."

"that's it?"

"Not really. I have to hide. Right now, the siege army is rushing up. Some things are hard to explain. I will wait until they are fighting and everything is in chaos. Then I won't attract attention if I go out. I can explain anything I want and no one will be suspicious. I can also avoid the danger of fighting, right? Hehe..."

Gu Huanxi rolled her eyes at him speechlessly, then felt relieved to see that he was not injured. She turned around, heated a cup of milk for him, and urged him to drink it in a few gulps.

Xu Huaiyi wiped his mouth, thought the time was about up, covered his head and face again, and slipped out.

The city gate was crowded with people and the sound of killing was deafening. In order to grab the first credit for breaking the city, the soldiers were already blood-thirsty. How could they have the mind to pay attention to other things?

So, he suddenly appeared, blending in with the crowd, not at all abrupt or conspicuous, he just had to follow the flow.

However, he couldn't be unscathed, that would be too fake. He didn't have the ability to fly and hide. No matter how agile he was, he would be affected a little after detonating the explosives. So, in the next fight scene, he deliberately got hit twice in the face. It didn't need to hurt any bones, just enough to look intimidating. Otherwise, he would be embarrassed to claim the credit.

Apart from that, there would have to be some internal injuries to make it look more realistic. It's an explosion injury, and the internal organs would be damaged by the shock. Isn't that reasonable?

He took the medicine given by Doctor Jiao, and after taking one pill, he was able to perform properly.

When the war was over and the imperial army entered the city, he could finally retire with honor and pretend to faint.

When Gu Huanxi saw him again, it was already midnight. She had been waiting impatiently for a long time and couldn't help complaining, "Why is it so late? The city gate has been broken. Do we need another day to attack?"

Xu Huaiyi hurriedly explained, "No, I had already attacked, but I had to pretend to be injured internally, so I fainted on purpose, took some medicine, and ended up lying on the bed and falling asleep. I just woke up now..."

Thinking of how he hadn't slept all night last night in order to blow up the city gate, Gu Huanxi's pent-up anger faded away, and he asked, "Are you hungry? I stewed a chicken tonight, and there's some wonton stew in the refrigerator. How about I make you a bowl?"

Xu Huaiyi touched his belly and said, "I couldn't feel it until you told me. Now that you told me, you're just playing the empty city trick. So let me cook a bowl. I'll go take a shower first..."

"Is it okay to take a shower?" Gu Huanxi was reminding him that he still had to pretend and not reveal any flaws.

Xu Huaiyi yawned as he walked towards the bathroom. "It's okay. I'm recovering from my injuries. I've been arranged to stay in a wealthy family's house in the city. The family fled with the rebels. It's very safe. And Wei Liang is guarding outside. He knows I need to rest and won't come in to disturb me. There are all the necessary things for bathing in the inner room of the house. It's just a bath. It's normal..."

After hearing what he said, Gu Huanxi said no more and went into the kitchen to cook wontons.

Chicken soup was used as the base, and some dried shrimps and seaweed were sprinkled on it. The filling was pork and black fungus. A large bowl was filled with it, and a little sesame oil was added at the end. After Gu Huanxi finished, she felt a little hungry.

Xu Huaiyi came out wrapped in his nightgown, took a deep breath, and shouted impatiently, "Bring it to me quickly, my wife, it smells so good..."

While blowing the hot air and shoveling food into his mouth, he didn't forget to mutter, "Why didn't you pour a spoonful of chili oil on it? It lacks soul..."

Gu Huanxi said unhappily, "Did you forget that you were recovering from your injury?"

Even if it was fake, the medicine he drank was real, and the scars on his face were real.

"Then adding some pepper would be fine..."

"Stop whining and eat!"

Xu Huaiyi's efforts were in vain, so he just buried his head in eating and drinking. Soon, the bowl of wonton soup was finished, and his whole body felt smooth from the inside out.

Gu Huanxi served him another bowl of chicken soup and urged him to drink it.

After Xu Huaiyi finished drinking, a thin layer of sweat oozed out of his forehead. He collapsed comfortably on the sofa, humming contentedly, "Ah, I wouldn't trade this day for anything even if I were a god!"

Gu Huanxi asked about the follow-up with concern, "Everything went well? Were there heavy casualties? This battle should be considered a great victory, right?"

She thought that seeing his relaxed expression, the success of the war was a sure thing, but after asking, he answered hesitantly.

"It went smoothly. We caught the rebels off guard. I blew up the city gate at midnight. Only my master and I knew about this. The battle plan called for a strong attack at 12:00 p.m., so the rebels were caught off guard. Plus, the city gate was blown open, so the soldiers didn't suffer too many casualties when they attacked.

However, the rebels were no show-offs. The private soldiers recruited by the King of Chu were quite capable, and the Marquis of Changle also knew how to train them, so their combat effectiveness was not weak. The two sides fought for more than an hour before they ceased fire.

But this ceasefire did not mean that all the rebels were killed, nor did it mean that they surrendered. Instead, they fled. No, it is not accurate to say that they fled. I always feel that it was a tactical retreat. In order to preserve their manpower, they withdrew from the city when they saw that the situation was irreversible.

So you ask, whether this battle can be considered a great victory, it is hard for me to say. Of course we won, after all, we captured the occupied city, but it was not a complete victory. However, Master reported it to the court, and the court will definitely define it as a victory, you know. "

Everything is in chaos right now, and we really need a victory to calm people down.
