"This time, our Wei State and the Xiongnu cooperated to jointly besiege the Zhao Army and the Yan Army, the purpose is to prevent the Yan State and the Zhao State from uniting, and let the princess of the Yan State escape before, the Huns are too easy to be distinguished, so it is inconvenient to track down, so Major General Wei Guang sent several groups of people to secretly search around within a radius of dozens of miles, and we are one of them."

"Wei Guang? The son of Wei Tuo's old horseman? So that's how it was... No wonder the Huns were able to quietly and suddenly appear in Tianmang Mountain, so that the Yan army was unaware, it turned out to be directly passing through the territory of Wei, you Wei actually colluded with the Huns, it really deserves to be killed" Zhou Jian said as if talking to himself.

"Let me ask you again, do you know what benefits you can get from joining forces with the Xiongnu this time?"

"Once when Major General Wei Guang was drunk, he heard him say that in the future, the Wei State will join forces with the Xiongnu to send troops to destroy the Yan State, with Ganquan as the boundary, the land in the north belongs to the Xiongnu, and the south belongs to my Wei State."

"Shameless, you dare to collude with foreign enemies to kill your brother and neighbor, you really deserve to be killed" Zhou Jian was very angry after hearing this, and slapped his palm on a tree next to him, and the tree was directly broken.

When the man kneeling on the ground saw this, he kept kowtowing and begging for mercy: "Old man, I have told you everything I know, please let me go, please let me go."

Zhou Jian waved his hand at him: "You go"

"Thank you for the old man's life, thank the old man for not killing him" After speaking, he hurriedly got up and ran. But before he could run far, he saw Zhou Jian kick a knife blade on the ground, flew straight forward, stuck in the man's back, and went straight through the chest, the man turned his head and fell down with a reluctant face.

Zhou Jian walked slowly in the direction of going home with his hands behind his back, muttering as he walked: "Wei Tuo, Wei Tuo, it's time to break the blood feud between you and me, you really damn it, damn it."

The place returned to its former tranquility, and no one came again for the next few days, and on the day when Zhao Kuo and them were leaving, they finished breakfast early, and then rushed to Yinhao County to meet the caravan.

Zhou Jian and Zhou Ying were worried that they would be in danger on the road, and insisted on sending them to Yinyao County, and they were about to leave, and there were fewer words from a few people along the way, Zhou Ying, the little girl, was also very unhappy, it can be seen that she was very reluctant to part with Zhao Kuoyanning.

When they arrived in Yinhao County, after Zhou took them to meet with the caravan that was going to Zhao Guoyan Cloud City, he explained that Zhao Kuo should follow closely behind the caravan along the way, and after not being left behind, he was silent.

At this time, Zhou Ying was already lying on Yan Ning's shoulder and crying, choking and saying while crying: "Sister Ning, I am reluctant to let you go with Brother Kuo, I still want to be with you"

Yan Ning was also very sad to see Zhou Ying like this, she held back her tears and comforted Zhou Ying: "Sister Ying, don't cry, we will meet again in the future, we promise you, we will definitely come back to you in the future, if you go to Zhaodu one day in the future, you must remember to come to us, we are easy to find, you only need to go to the government when you arrive in Zhaodu, tell them that you are looking for your brother Kuo, they will take you to see us, you know?" ”

Zhou Ying was still in tears and nodded: "But as long as I think of you leaving and no one is with me, I feel so sad, I'm really happy to be with you these days, I really don't want you to leave"

Yan Ning comforted her while helping her wipe the tears on her face: "Don't cry anymore, it won't look good to cry again, you are our sister, we will definitely come back to you in the future, this time our separation is for a better reunion next time, you know?" ”

After Yan Ning's comfort, although Zhou Ying was still a little choked, she finally stopped crying.

Zhao Kuo felt very uncomfortable when he saw this scene, people have to experience too many separations in this life, but as Yan Ning said, this separation is for a better reunion next time, where can we meet again without separation? After that, Zhao Kuo remembered his lover in his previous life, they were separated, will there be a reunion?

Zhou Jian has been looking at Wei Ying lovingly from the side, Zhao Kuo walked to his side, ready to tell Zhou Jian the true identity of him and Yan Ning, after all, these days here, Zhou Jian really treats them like his own children and grandchildren, Zhao Kuojue should no longer hide anything from him, "Grandpa Zhou, in fact, my real identity is Zhao Guo's ......."

Who knew that before Zhao Kuo finished speaking, Zhou Jian interrupted him: "Don't say it, I almost guessed who you two children are"

After Zhao Kuo heard what he said, he asked in surprise, "You know everything?" It's because those people are coming to arrest Yan Ning that night, did you guess that? ”

I saw Zhou Jian shook his head, "When Ying'er just rescued you back, I guessed that a few days ago, Zhao sent an army to Tianmang Mountain to meet the princess of Yan State, and the leader was the four princes of Zhao State, but was ambushed and attacked by the Huns on the way, and the Zhao army was almost wiped out, fortunately, the news that the four princes of Zhao State and the princess of Yan State were not killed or captured, but they lost their traces, as soon as you and Ning Yatou appeared, I thought about it, and then I got along with you for a long time and found that you were fine, the prince's posture was not too obvious, But Ning Yatou's words and deeds are completely the daughter of a rich and noble family, so she is even more certain"

"Grandpa Zhou, since you already knew our identity, why did you dare to take us in at that time? Aren't you afraid that we're going to get you in trouble? Just like the other day, you were chased and killed, aren't you worried? ”

After listening to Zhao Kuo's words, Zhou Jian couldn't help laughing and said: "Silly boy, we are both from the Central Plains, and we were all from the same country hundreds of years ago, how can we ignore your life and death because we are afraid of the foreign Huns?" ”

"Juniors, thank you seniors for saving your life and taking you in," Zhao Kuo said as he knelt down and saluted.

Zhou Jian directly supported him: "You don't have to make such a big gift, you can get acquainted, even if it is fate, I didn't want you to return anything when I took you in at the beginning, but now the old man only has one thing to ask for, and I hope you can agree"

"Grandpa Zhou, if you have something to do, I will definitely complete what I can do."

"Speaking of which, I have mentioned it to you before, I just hope you can agree, if I am not there one day in the future, I may ask Ying'er to go to Zhaodu to find you, and I hope that you must protect him and protect her well, can you do it?"

A few days ago, Zhou Jian did talk to Zhao Kuo, at that time Zhao Kuo thought that Zhou Jian was joking, just talking casually, but now seeing Zhou Jian mentioned it again, I couldn't help but think about it seriously, first of all, Zhou Jian said that he will not be there one day in the future, does this absence mean death? Secondly, Zhou Ying himself knows martial arts, and his martial arts are still very high, but Zhou Jian repeatedly told him that if Zhou Ying went to Zhao Capital, he must protect Wei Zhou, could it be that someone wants to be unfavorable to Zhou Ying? Will Zhou Ying be hunted down? Thinking of this, Zhao Kuo seemed to understand, Zhou Jian and Zhou Ying have been living in the mountains and forests, perhaps just to avoid the enemy, Zhou Jian is still alive now, and he can protect Zhou Ying's safety, and once he dies, there will be no one to protect Zhou Ying, so he proposed that if Zhou Ying goes to Zhao Capital to find him in the future, let him protect Zhou Ying. It should be like this, Zhao Kuo kept guessing in his heart.

After thinking about it, Zhao Kuo immediately opened his mouth and promised: "Grandpa Zhou, don't worry, if Sister Ying goes to Zhao Capital in the future, with my identity as the fourth prince of Zhao Kingdom, I will definitely protect her well." ”

"So it's also a matter of my heart, I've been worried about where Ying'er should arrange after I die, but now I see that you have only known each other for a few days, and the relationship is already so deep, and the love is even deeper than brother and sister, and you and Ning Yatou are okay, entrust Ying'er to you, and I will rest in peace even if I die."

"Grandpa Zhou, you are serious, your body is so tough, it is not impossible to live for a few more decades"

Zhou Jian shook his head with a wry smile, and suddenly said to Zhao Kuo as if he had thought of something: "After you return to Zhao Capital, remember to let your Zhao State send troops to aid Yan State as soon as possible, otherwise it will be too late, and Yan State will almost be destroyed."

"Annihilation?" Zhao Kuo was taken aback when he heard Zhou Jian say this, could it be that the Hun army had already begun to attack Yan with the whole army? Then he replied: "Grandpa Zhou, rest assured, this time the Huns attacked our army, causing our Zhao army to be almost wiped out, this feud has been settled, Zhao sent troops to assist Yan to jointly exterminate the Huns, that is inevitable." ”

Zhou Jian nodded after hearing this.

After a while, the caravan was about to start its journey, Zhao Kuo picked up the dry food prepared for them during the week, and said to Zhou Jian: "Grandpa Zhou, thank you for your great kindness, we will have a date later."

Zhou Jian patted Zhao Kuo on the shoulder and advised: "This time to Yanyun City, you walk on foot, the road is far and difficult, remember to follow the caravan closely, don't be alone, this caravan has a large number of people, and there is a dart bureau escort, even if you encounter bandits along the way, there will not be much danger, you have to take care along the way."

"Remember that Grandpa Zhou takes care and Sister Ying'er takes care"

Yan Ning and Zhou Ying are both red-eyed at the moment, reluctant to give up, "Sister Ying, let's go, take care, believe me, we will see each other again in the future"

Subsequently, Zhao Kuo and Yan Ning began to officially hit the road and rushed to Yanyun City.

Zhou Ying burst into tears again, crying, waving her hands and shouting: "Sister Ning, Brother Kuo, have a safe journey, Ying'er will miss you, you must not forget Ying'er, take care all the way"

It wasn't until Zhao Kuo and Yan Ning disappeared that she stopped waving her hand and followed Zhou Jian home in a sad mood.

In this way, Zhao Kuo and Yan Ning followed behind this large caravan and embarked on the road to Zhao Guoyan Cloud City.

For several days in a row, following the caravan, hurrying during the day and resting at night, it was safe along the way, and there were no bandits who blocked the road and robbed, and walked safely until the morning of the fourth day, when the sound of shouting and killing came intermittently from the front, so the caravan leader asked everyone to stop and rest temporarily, and sent people to the front to investigate.
