"No, the king is fine. "We saw that they were preparing to make a move on the king, so Louise sent a false order from the queen to keep the executioners and the witch doctor out for a while. I took advantage of this gap to bring the old king out. ”

"When those people come back and find that they're gone, isn't Louise?" Leah covered her mouth in fear.

"At that time, I couldn't care so much, so I had to save people first. Later, after I woke up the old king, I took him out of the dungeon. Billis said.

"Where did Father go?" asked Leah hurriedly.

"Moonlit Forest. Billis said.

"Father doesn't have any warm clothes, in such a cold and snowy place, he can't go far..." Leah immediately turned around and said to Yu Changsheng: "Changsheng, let's hurry up and save my father, otherwise, even if he avoids being burned to death, he won't be able to escape being frozen to death!"

Yu Changsheng nodded, took out two gold bars from the neighboring realm, stuffed them into Bilis's hand, and said, "Thank you this time, you can run away quickly, the farther away the better." ”

Billis hesitated for a moment, and finally said, "Thank you Gongzi for reward." He stuffed the two gold bars into his purse. As soon as she turned to leave, she seemed to remember something, and turned to Leah and asked, "Princess, do you know about Louise?"

Leah's tears flowed instantly, and Yu Changsheng said to Bilis, "You still don't want to know!

Seeing the back of Billis running away, Yu Changsheng said to the two ten-person teams: "We don't have many people now, so we can't search on a large scale. Therefore, let's divide into two teams for the time being, each team is 500 paces apart, and search forward in a fan shape. ”

The two teams of ten people shouted "whoa", and then the group left the dungeon. Leah made a name for herself in the night sky, then ran in the direction of the Moonlit Forest.

Not long after the team set out, a thin figure stood on the side of a large road in a village, holding a torch in his hand.

This strange scene immediately alerted the entire search team.

"Who?" a team shouted in a not-so-authentic neighbor language.

"It's me!" The voice of a little boy.

Leah stopped and said to the crowd, "It's the child I saved last time, it's okay! You go to the forest first, I'll go see what's going on?"

Yu Changsheng shook his head and said, "This won't work! No one can act alone at this time. If you want to go, I'll go with you. ”

Leah thought for a moment and nodded in agreement. Then the two of them came to Xiao Ke together.

Leah crouched down, looked at the head-to-toe child, and asked, "Why are you here!"

Xiao Ke first shouted sweetly: "Sister Princess." Then he said: "My aunt saved an old grandfather, and my aunt said that he was a very important person, and asked me to go to the village to ask someone to help, but I searched all over the village, and there was no one, so I went to the side of the road to see." And that's where you become. ”

Leah listened to his words, and immediately came to her senses and asked, "Xiao Ke, you just said that you have an old grandfather in your family?"

Xiao Ke nodded obediently and said, "My aunt rescued him, and if I found him later, I would have frozen to death." ”

"Quick, take me there. Leah quickly stood up, grabbed Xiao Ke and ran towards the village.

Yu Changsheng then followed with his men and horses. When passing by this empty village, a sad emotion suddenly rose in Yu Changsheng's heart, how similar to the withered situation was similar to the Nanyanzhou at that time.

"Daddy, Daddy, are you there?" called out to Leah as she ran into the cave of Nick's house.

The lady of the Shi family heard someone shouting outside, and hurriedly ran out to see the situation, and when she saw that it was Princess Leah, she hurriedly knelt down and saluted her.

"No need to be polite. Xiao Ke A-Niang, take me to see the old man you rescued. Leah hurriedly helped the Shi family lady up, eager to push everyone away and rush inside now.

The lady of the Shi family said a little apologetically: "I didn't know that there would be so many nobles here today, the family is poor, and I don't have time to clean up, so I was lazy." ”

After saying that, he took Leah and Yu Changsheng inside, and the two teams of guards scattered on both sides of the cave entrance and began to be on guard.

This stone cave is not very large, and Yu Changsheng and Leah are relatively tall, and they need to lower their heads slightly before they can stand. After lifting a quilt hanging from the entrance of the cave, I entered a slightly larger cave.

The furnishings are very, very simple, next to the innermost wall of the cave, a relatively flat rectangular stone bed made of small stones, on which is covered with a layer of wooden planks, and on top of the wooden board is a thin layer of quilt.

It's a bed.

And in this bed, which could not be simpler, lay the king of the neighboring realm, the Rial, who ruled over a land.

"Daddy!" Leah cried as she pounced on the dying old man.

Leah held Rial's cold hand and cried out over and over again in grief, "Daddy, wake up, I'm Leah, I'm here to save you." ”

However, the old king remained motionless, his face was pale, and his eyes and mouth were closed.

"I found the old king when I was looking for hay roots in the snow outside the village. He had fallen into the snow with a thick layer of snow on his body. I took a long time to pull him out, and then I found out that it was the old king, and I hurried him home. The lady of the Shi family brought a basin of hot water while talking and handed it to Leah, "Cover it for Your Majesty!" There is nothing in the house, and the last bite of food is also eaten by Xiao Ke. ”

The lady of the Shi family smiled apologetically.

Yu Changsheng was a little moved, and his hand reached into his purse to get some gold for their mother and son, and asked them to exchange for some food. But when I think about it, in this world, giving them gold is equivalent to murdering them, and if the strongman knows that they have gold hidden on them, it is not easy to give their mother and son the result.

So, he took out two large pieces of dry food from his marching bag, thought about it, took two more pieces, and put them in the hands of the lady of the Shi family.

"Sister-in-law, I came out in a hurry this time, you can take these grains first, and when I get to the governor's palace, I will find someone to bring you some. ”

When the lady of the Shi family saw the sudden food, she waved her hands desperately and said, "I should be Your Majesty, how can I accept your thank you!"

Yu Changsheng said: "Sister-in-law, don't shirk it, even if it's for Xiao Ke, you have to accept it!

The lady of the Shi family was very embarrassed to reach out and take a few pieces of dry food, and thanked Yu Changsheng for her kindness: "The princess and the concubine are both great good people, and the god of the golden sun will bless you." ”

"Do you know me?" Yu Changsheng was a little surprised.

"I know, the last time the colt first came here, I happened to be in the carrying team, and I was fortunate enough to see the appearance of a noble man from a distance. The lady of the Shi family said and looked at Leah, who was helping Rial cover her hands and feet, and said, "The horse and the son are really compatible, you will definitely be happy." ”
