How to Feed a Baby Zombie

When the news of the small battle's defeat reached the camp, Tao Yuan almost fainted. While crying, he hated his own incompetence. If he could fight with He Xuan, at least he wouldn't have to bear the flustered waiting.

After waiting anxiously all night, He Xuan returned with the surviving cavalrymen. He was wearing a torn armor, his face was covered with blood, as long as the exposed skin was left with shocking wounds, his eyes were numb and painful.

Taoyuan burst into tears, rushed over regardless, and stopped abruptly in the corner when standing in front of him, looked at the scars all over his body with teary eyes, and dared not reach out to hug him for the first time.

He Xuan stared at him steadily, and after a while, his dead eyes fluctuated. He stretched out his arms that were so painful that he lost consciousness, and tightly embraced Tao Yuan, who was full of tears, and said with trembling lips: "I... …came back."

Only then did Taoyuan truly feel his presence, and couldn't help but burst into tears: "It's good to be back..."

"It's good to be alive..."

The Qian army was defeated in the first battle, the Dagan border was breached, and the enemy invaded the northern territory with lightning speed. Because of the sudden situation on the scene, the first cavalry led by He Xuan suffered heavy losses and was forced to retreat to the second cavalry. line of defense.

Regarding the sudden loss of control of the war horse, some people thought that Nan Wu's sorcery was causing the trouble. The rumors spread more and more, and soon spread in Dagan's barracks, making the soldiers panic.

When the second line of defense was about to be opened, He Xuan learned the previous lesson and planned to lead the infantry to fight first, and let the archers occupy the high ground to assist.

Unexpectedly, on the day of the start of the battle, many soldiers felt unwell at the same time, clutching their stomachs and complaining of pain, resulting in a sharp drop in morale. Even though He Xuan and other generals fought desperately, they failed to hold the second line of defense.

One step back, one step back.

No one expected that He Xuan, who was like a god of war, would suffer successive defeats. The Gan army retreated all the way from the northern wilderness, and finally approached the important fortress in the northern border - the border town.

This is the most critical city, and it is also the last line of defense in the north of Dagan. If it is breached, the enemy can fight all the way to the capital of Dagan. The most important thing is that there are more than 30 people in the border city. The consequences were disastrous, so He Xuan had to defend the city to the death.

In at least several consecutive accidents, all the spearheads were directed at the wizard's witchcraft. It is rumored that there is a wizard with great powers in Nanwu who can manipulate people's hearts with witchcraft. Now he has become the national teacher of Nanwu. The soldiers went out.

He Xuan didn't think Nan Wu's sorcerer had such supernatural powers, so he suspected that there were spies in the barracks, and ordered people to search carefully in the barracks, and at the same time ordered people to issue a notice in the city, looking for someone with a high level of Taoism.

In the past, He Xuan never believed in such supernatural ghosts, but after witnessing the horses that suddenly lost control, his thoughts were shaken. Under the current situation, it is not easy to defend the border town. Even if there is a glimmer of hope, he Nor can you give up easily.

Now the border town has become the most important game, the people are in panic, the streets are in chaos, the reinforcements from the capital have not arrived, and the troops stationed in the city are also unstable, all the pressure falls on He Xuan's shoulders.

Seeing this, Taoyuan couldn't help but feel distressed. He followed He Xuan's only selfishness, and he couldn't go out with him unless it was absolutely necessary. He could only stay in the barracks and help with some simple military affairs.

In the middle of the night, after He Xuan was busy with military affairs, he went to the military doctor to change his medicine, and then dragged his tired body back to the camp. Seeing that there was still an oil lamp burning inside, Taoyuan sat at the table with his chin propped on one hand, Flipping a book of the Art of War in his hand, the dim candlelight reflected his serious profile.

"Why haven't you slept yet?" He Xuan opened the curtain and walked in, the shadow elongated by the candlelight fell on Taoyuan's feet, making him turn around suddenly.

Every day when He Xuan went out to arrange military affairs, Tao Yuan was always worried, for fear of any unexpected situation, and only when he saw that he returned safely, did he let go of his hanging heart.He put down the books, and threw himself into He Xuan's arms like a tired bird returning to its nest, but was knocked by the armor on his chest.

Just now Taoyuan let go of his hand, and took the initiative to help He Xuan take off the armor on his body. Seeing that he was much more sensible than before, it made He Xuan feel uncomfortable.

If he hadn't been born in troubled times, He Xuan would be willing to disarm and return to the fields, and be a pair of immortal couples with Taoyuan, hold him in the palm of his hand forever, and treat him like a delicate little prince.After the candlelight was extinguished, the two embraced each other and fell asleep, feeling each other clearly and enjoying this rare sweet time.The current situation is so pessimistic, and under the panic and anxiety, it is inevitable to find a little comfort.

"Can we win this battle?"

He Xuan sensed Tao Yuan's uneasiness, and tightened his arms around his waist, lowered his head and kissed his mouth, allowing their breaths to blend together.

"Yes." He said, "Your Majesty will give us a marriage when you return to Beijing."

Only then did Taoyuan feel more at ease, perhaps because the atmosphere at the moment was too good, he couldn't help looking forward to the future: "On the day of the wedding, I will wear a red auspicious costume to pay homage to you, and we will definitely become the capital of the capital. The most enviable couple."

As he said that, he sighed regretfully: "I should have had wedding dresses custom-made before I came here. I've heard from others that it takes several months to make custom-made wedding dresses."

He Xuan was brought into the Ukiyo-e that he yearned for the most, looked at his distressed appearance, lowered his head and rubbed his nose, and said in a low tone: "Don't worry, the Ministry of Rites can rush to make it by then, the material should be easy to tear by hand , convenient for the bridal chamber."

Tao Yuan hid in his arms, blushing: "You rascal."

In the early morning of the next day, He Xuan took his lieutenant general to deploy troops on the city wall, and just as he walked down the tower, he heard the guards report.

"General, an old Taoist surnamed Fu asked to see him and said he could help you."

He Xuan hesitated for a while, then raised his hand and said, "Please."

Not long after, an old Taoist priest with a sense of immortality was invited into the general's camp. He held a handful of Buddha dust in his hand, and his brows were full of righteousness.

"Fu Daoist." He Xuan withdrew his sizing eyes, and stood up to greet him.

Fu Daoist waved Buddha Chen, and slightly bowed: "I pay my respects to the general."

"The Taoist priest doesn't need to be too polite." He Xuan quickly invited him to take a seat, and after a few polite words, they went straight to the topic.

Seeing that the Daoist priest didn't look like a charlatan, He Xuan asked modestly, "Daoist priest, you understand the current situation, but you have a way to deal with it."

Daoist Fu stroked his beard and said with a deep expression: "I traveled to Nanwu when I was young, and I have a little understanding of their witchcraft. The wizards of Nanwu do have the ability to control animals. It is not uncommon for war horses to lose control, but soldiers A sudden situation... this matter may not be simple."

He Xuan frowned: "You mean... there are spies in our barracks? But a few days ago, I sent someone to check the logistics, and I didn't find any problems with the soldiers' meals."

Daoist Fu thought for a while before standing up: "Take me to have a look."

The two walked into the back room together, and the cooks inside were preparing lunch. When they saw He Xuan coming in, they quickly put down the things in their hands and saluted.

He Xuan ordered people to test all the ingredients inside, and found no problems, so he turned his attention to the drinking water in the water tank.

Daoist Fu's gaze also focused on the water, and he picked up a little water from the ladle next to him. There was nothing abnormal in the water quality alone, but he did not dispel his doubts. , with a slight shake, the talisman paper spontaneously ignited, causing the embers to fall to the surface of the water.

At first glance, the bowl of water remained unchanged, but when Fu Daozhang stretched out his finger and stirred it in the floating water, when he pulled it out again, there was a little brown thing on his fingertip.

He Xuan took a closer look and found that the thing turned out to be a wriggling bug. His face was instantly horrified, and he reprimanded coldly: "Bold!"

All the cooks present were frightened and knelt on the ground in a hurry, trembling with fear.

Daoist Fu put two fingers together, wiped out the little thing between his fingers, and then explained: "This is a kind of miniature Gu worm from Nansha. It is planted in the human body and can damage the root in a short time."

He Xuan was so furious that he called out to the soldiers outside and picked up everyone present on the spot. Those guys turned pale with fright and lay down on the ground screaming for injustice.

Daoist Fu was merciful, and when he saw this, he said: "I hope the general will investigate clearly, don't kill innocent people indiscriminately, this problem can be solved, as long as every soldier drinks a bowl of talisman water, the Gu worms will be strangled in the body .”

He Xuan suppressed the anger in his heart, and respectfully bowed to Daoist Fu, "Then Daoist Lao will be here."

After finishing speaking, he ordered the cook in front of him to look up, and asked coldly, "Who is responsible for fetching water?"

The cook raised his head and said tremblingly, "It's a few guys. They went to the city to do some shopping today."

He Xuan turned around and ordered Ge Zhan: "Go and investigate!"

After this incident, He Xuan didn't dare to underestimate the Daoist priest any more, and even regarded him as a military advisor, asking him to help deal with Nan Wu's witchcraft.

According to the report from the spies, Beidi and Nanwu are reorganizing the army, and it is estimated that they will attack the city early in the morning. For this reason, He Xuan deployed heavy troops on the tower and made full defenses.

That night, after He Xuan patrolled and set up defenses, he took time to return to the big tent. Tao Yuan was reading picture books on the bed in his underwear, and when he saw him coming in, he ran over barefoot.

He Xuan hugged him horizontally through a layer of armor, and the air-dried kiss fell on Taoyuan's moist lips, rubbing it with a tingling feeling.

After the kiss was over, Taoyuan's face was flushed with blush. He put his hands around He Xuan's neck, and his worries subsided a little: "Have you eaten yet? Why is it so late?"

"I've eaten." He Xuan carried him back to the bed, resting his forehead on the top of his hair, and rubbed his flat stomach with his palm: "Recently, I've been working hard with me, and I've lost weight."

Thinking of the rumors in the barracks, Tao Yuan hurriedly said, "I heard that the enemy is about to attack the city. Nan Wu's sorcery is so powerful, you should be careful."

He Xuan told the story of Daoist Fu, and he had more confidence in defending the city: "Daoist Fu said that he is willing to help me defend the city, and I hope I can last until the reinforcements arrive."

Only then did Tao Yuan feel a little relieved, and the two chatted together again, but they were soon interrupted by the guard's urgent report.

"General! Something happened to the tower!"
