A short time later, an old hunter walked in. said: "Childe, you woke up, how do you feel?" ”

Jiang Zikai replied: "It's much better, thank you for saving your life." ”

"It's hard work, why worry about it." The old hunter responded boldly.

"Dare to ask the old man, where did you save me?" Jiang Zikai asked anxiously.

"In the middle of the snow valley!" Said the old hunter.

"Did you see anyone else when you saved me?"

"There is no one else." The old hunter shook his head.

"But by a trap?" Jiang Zikai asked again.

The old hunter thought about it and said, "There are no traps. There's a big snowdrift, and you're lying behind it. ”

Jiang Zikai was silently disappointed: Yes, maybe I had a dream! How could she be a princess of a country and come here?

"Dare to ask who Childe is? Why do you fall asleep in the snow valley? The old hunter asked.

But Jiang Zikai only cared about his own affairs and did not answer.

"Childe, Childe?" The hunter's daughter called to him softly.

Jiang Zikai came to his senses and looked at her. The girl smiled and said, "What did my father ask you?" ”

Jiang Zikai looked at the hunter in a daze: "Uncle, what do you want to ask?" ”

Before the hunter could speak, his daughter interjected, "My father asks you why you lie in the snowy valley?" ”

"Oh, that's right, uncle, I was a soldier in Jiang Guo's military camp, and when I came out to inspect, I was unexpectedly attacked by the Rong people. I accidentally fell off a cliff and fell into this snowy valley. Jiang Zikai replied: "If it weren't for the old man, I'm afraid the villain's life would have been gone."

"Childe doesn't need to be polite, you can keep it in my house these days." The old hunter said.

"No, no, no, dare to ask the old man how far is it from Cheng Wuhou's military camp here?" Jiang Zikai asked.

"Twenty or thirty miles!" The hunter replied.

"Okay, I've been bothering the old man these days, I'll leave for the barracks tomorrow." Jiang Zikai said.

"Why don't you stay a little longer? Take care of your body. The old man said with concern.

Jiang Zikai saluted and said: "There are many affairs in the army, so I can't stay for a long time. When I can do it, I will repay the old man for saving his life. ”

"It's okay, since Childe has something important, then I will stay soon. Tomorrow we are also going down the mountain, so why don't we send our father and daughter to the son! The old hunter said again.

The next day, Jiang Zikai felt better, so he left for the barracks. The father and daughter were really enthusiastic, thinking that he was still weak, so they stayed with him all the way.

It was a sunny day, and the snow on the road had melted. Father and daughter sent him all the way down the mountain.

"Childe, now that we have gone down the mountain, Cheng Wuhou's military camp is not far away, so we won't send it." The old hunter said.

"Okay, thank you, uncle, then we'll say goodbye, and we'll come to thank you again another day." Jiang Zikai also said goodbye.

The three of them were talking, when they heard the sound of horses' hooves roaring. When I saw it, it was a group of Rong people who came on horseback.

Jiang Zikai looked at the outfit of the team from a distance, and knew that they had just looted it. He often dealt with these people, and naturally knew that these people were burning, killing, looting, raping and killing women, and they were heinous.

He hurriedly said to the hunter and the girl, "Uncle, little girl, quick, go and hide in the woods." ”

So saying, he dragged the two of them and ran into the woods.

But they did not want the group to find them, and when they saw them fleeing, they shouted arrogantly and shot arrows.

Jiang Zikai tried his best to protect the father and daughter, but how could he resist the flying arrows alone.

Suddenly, a random arrow struck the old hunter. The old hunter staggered and fell.

Miss Xiao Yan hurriedly shouted, "Dad! ”

Jiang Zikai also hurriedly stepped forward to support him, but the arrow obviously hit the vital point. The old hunter struggled to get up, but fell down again in a decadent state.

Seeing the robbers who were about to catch up, he realized that he didn't have long to live, he reluctantly glanced at his daughter, and said to Jiang Zikai: "Son, for the sake of the old man who saved your life, I beg you to take care of my daughter in this life." ”

Jiang Zikai said: "Uncle, go away, what are you talking about now?" ”

"Dad, don't talk nonsense, you'll be fine." Miss Xiaoyan's tears flowed.

The old hunter struggled and waved his hand, and said, "No, I can't walk anymore, Childe, Xiao Yan will ask you to take care of it." ”

After that, he looked at Jiang Zikai expectantly.

At this moment, how could Jiang Zikai refuse him, he had saved his life, and now he had lost his life to send him. And how could he refuse his request.

Jiang Zikai agreed with sincerity: "Don't worry, Uncle will definitely take care of Miss Xiaoyan in the next place, and live up to the trust of the old uncle." ”

"Okay, you guys go quickly, leave me alone." The old hunter nudged them.

"No, Dad, let's go together." Xiao Yan said crying.

"Let's go! Childe, take Xiao Yan away! The old hunter looked at the robber who was about to catch up, and said with the last of his strength.

Jiang Zikai hurriedly grabbed Xiao Yan's arm and ran forward.

Xiao Yan turned back step by step at the moment, she cried and shouted as she ran: "Dad, Dad." ”

But what can she do now, she can only watch her father gradually close his eyes and slowly fall to the ground.

Finally, she and Jiang Zikai ran into the woods. She gasped for breath and wept.

But the robbers did not intend to let them go, but began to shout in the woods to lure them in.

Jiang Zikai and Xiao Yan hid behind a big tree, staring motionless ahead, as long as one was not careful, the robbers would find them.

After all, there is no way out. Just when Jiang Zikai and Xiao Yan couldn't avoid it. They heard the sound of horses' hooves again.

It turned out that the troops from the barracks were sent to find Jiang Zikai. After all, those robbers were few in number, so they had to flee in a hurry.

Leading the troops was a deputy general under Jiang Zikai, who saw Jiang Zikai hurriedly stepped forward and saluted: "The last general will see Hou Ye, Hou Ye has suffered." ”

Jiang Zikai nodded and said, "Get up quickly, it's fine." ”

Then Jiang Zikai led everyone to collect the body of Xiao Yan's father and found a wasteland to bury him.

After the tombstone was written, Jiang Zikai stepped forward and bowed and said: "Thank you for saving your life, although you can rest assured, from now on, I will definitely take care of Miss Xiaoyan." to repay the old man for saving his life. ”

Xiao Yan also cried heartbroken in front of her father's grave and couldn't get up for a long time. Jiang Zikai stepped forward to persuade Zikai: "Miss Xiaoyan, the person has gone, please mourn and change." ”

"Jiang Gongzi, my father is gone, and from now on there is only Xiao Yan left in this world." Xiao Yan wiped her tears and said.

"No, you still have me, from now on I will be your family, you will be my own sister." Jiang Zikai said.

Xiao Yan didn't speak, just nodded silently with tears.

Jiang Zikai took Xiao Yan back to the barracks. He instructed his generals to clean up a room for Xiao Yan. Treat her with compassion.

For Hou Ye to bring back a girl back to the camp, it quickly spread in the army.

Everyone is rumoring that this woman is the savior of Lord Hou. Hou Ye treated her as a guest, and I am afraid that in the future, she will be more blessed and enter the Hou Mansion.

All this naturally reached Park Mingshu's ears. At that time, he was pouring water for Jiang Rong.

Jiang Rong sat in front of the desk and read, looking at him and feeling a little thirsty, he called: "Mingshu, is the water boiling?" ”

"Hey, it's open, I'll pour it for the adults." As he spoke, Mingshu walked over with a teapot.

At this moment, a soldier entered the tent and reported: "General, Master Hou is back." ”

Mingshu was shocked, and he didn't have time to pour water, so he hurriedly asked, "When did you come back?" ”

Jiang Rong glanced at him, and he realized that he was a little out of shape. Bow your head and hurriedly go to get the tea bowl on the table. Don't bother with anything else.

At this time, Jiang Rong asked the soldier, "When did you come back?" How is it all good? ”

The soldier replied, "I've just come back, and everything is fine." ”

Mingshu listened to it, and his heart was much more relieved. The soldier then said, "Master Hou also brought back a woman, saying that she had saved his life in the snow valley. Now there are rumors in the army that the woman is afraid that she will be able to move into the Hou Mansion in the near future. ”

As soon as Ming Shu heard this, he lost his mind instantly, and he had long forgotten that he was still carrying a pot of boiling water in his hand.

"Be careful." Jiang Rong saw that Mingshu had been pouring water into the tea bowl as if he had lost his mind. Seeing that the water was about to burn him, he didn't even notice it. So he snapped a reminder.

Unbeknownst to him, his reminder actually startled Mingshu. Mingshu unconsciously threw away the teapot, and the teapot instantly fell to the ground, breaking into pieces and splashing water on the ground.

Fortunately, the table was standing on a brick-high countertop, and the teapot fell under it when it fell, so it didn't burn him.

"What's going on? Why so careless? Jiang Rong couldn't help but be a little angry and scolded angrily. This is the first time he has reprimanded him since he joined the army.

And Mingshu didn't say anything, he just looked up at him with teary eyes, turned around and ran out. It made Jiang Rong a little baffled. I wonder if my words are too heavy.

Mingshu ran out of the tent and wandered around the barracks. couldn't help but approach Jiang Zikai's tent again.

He saw from a distance that Jiang Zikai and a woman in a yellow shirt walked out of the tent talking and laughing.

She thought to herself, "It turns out that this is the woman who saved him." She is so clear and bright, and naturally it is superb. ”

Seeing this, what else could he say, he had to quietly turn around and leave.

He thought to himself: since there is someone here to take care of him, what should I keep for? Otherwise, I'd better go back!

But where should I go back? Is it Nanxiang or Jiang Guo. I came from Nanxiang and came to Jiang to make peace.

Now that my mission has not been accomplished, how can I go back?

Where did Mingshu know, just the moment she turned around. Jiang Zikai's gaze also skimmed to this side. He saw a familiar figure in the distance.

hurriedly interrupted Xiao Yan's words and hurriedly chased after her. But in a blink of an eye, she was gone.

Jiang Zikai was in a trance, and he felt that he was hallucinating again. I stayed in place for a long time.

Xiao Yan stepped forward and asked, "What's wrong?" Hou Ye? ”

"It's okay, Ben Hou just saw a familiar person, maybe Ben Hou saw it wrong!" Jiang Zikai looked around absentmindedly and answered.

He still hoped for a miracle.
