"Daddy!"

The sound of horses' hooves had not yet approached, and an extremely crisp voice made Xia Wuqi stunned.

"Fang'er!"

Xia Wuqi followed the prestige, and saw Xiao Lizi and Ah Fang riding a horse and galloping towards him in a hurry.

"Appeal ......"

Xiao Lizi tugged at the reins and "shouted", and the war horse stopped in front of Zhang Mancang with a sudden brake.

"Little brother, you ...... How did you get back? This ......"

Xia Wuqi saw that Xiao Lizi had rushed back with his daughter, and asked in surprise.

Xiao Lizi didn't respond, and after carefully handing Ah Fang into Xia Wuqi's arms, he turned over and got off the war horse.

"General, it's not good!"

As soon as he handed over the waist card, Xiao Lizi knelt down in a panic and bowed.

Xiao Lizi has been with Zhang Mancang since he joined the army, and he has seen a big battle, and ordinary things will not make Xiao Lizi so flustered. Zhang Mancang was in an unusually low mood at this time, and when he saw Xiao Lizi's solemn expression at this time, he knew that something was wrong in the city. Skimming his old face, Zhang Mancang got up and asked, "Lizi, what's the alarm?" ”

Xiao Lizi glanced at the bandaged old doctor Liu slightly, and his originally cold face flushed, "Report to the general, Ping'er...... Ping'er is missing! ”

"What? Missing! ”

Zhang Mancang and Xia Wuqi's faces changed greatly when they heard this, "What's the matter!" The two said in unison.

Since Xiao Yaotu is the only descendant of Old Physician Liu, he is an extremely important existence for both Old Physician Liu himself and Zhao Guo. Xiao Lizi knew that the disappearance of the little medicine apprentice was a big deal, and after sorting out his thoughts, he recounted the matter one by one. The two of them couldn't help but gasp when they heard this, and they invariably turned their heads to look at the old doctor Liu behind them.

"Zhang Jiangshuai, the kid is humble in his opinion, could this Ping'er's disappearance also be done by these Qin people?"

"Shhh...... It's hard to say, it seems that the old man has to take the first step! Zhang Mancang shook his head and muttered.

After thinking for a moment in his heart, Zhang Mancang said to a pawn commander beside him: "Xiao Zhao, the general will enter the city first, and you will lead your troops to follow up!" Remember, be sure to ensure the personal safety of Dr. Liu and Mr. Chen, if there is any difference, come and see you! ”

After speaking, Zhang Mancang pulled the reins and jumped on the horse.

"Hey!"

As soon as the commander surnamed Zhao received the order, he summoned his subordinates to get busy.

"Little brother, the old man and the baby are entrusted to you!"

"Rest assured!" Xia Wuqi bowed and said.

Zhang Mancang smiled slightly when he heard this, and then instructed Xiao Lizi: "You must do your best to protect Fang'er, if Fang'er makes a mistake, Lao Tzu will kill you!" ”

As soon as the words fell, without waiting for Xiao Lizi to respond, Zhang Mancang whipped the horse and left.

Xiali Village is twenty miles away from Handan City, and although it is not peaceful outside the city at this time, Xiao Lizi is not worried about Zhang Mancang's safety. After Zhang Mancang walked away, Xiao Lizi moved to Doctor Liu's side with a sad face.

"Uncle Xia, how is Grandpa Liu doing now?"

"Little brother don't worry, although Senior Liu is seriously injured, as long as he doesn't get infected with temperature disease, he can be worry-free."

"Warm ......"

The ancient times are not as good as the modern ones, and the fever that is no longer common for modern people is an extremely tricky existence for the ancients two thousand years ago. When Xiao Lizi heard the word "warm disease", his expression became flustered.

"Uncle Xia, what should we do at this time, is it difficult to achieve such a hard lift?"

"Little brother don't be too nervous. Although Senior Liu and Xi Wazi were seriously injured at this time, their muscles and bones were not injured, as long as the handling methods were appropriate, there was no major problem. ”

"What Senior Xia said is extremely true!"

As soon as Xia Wuqi's words fell, Zhao Shuchang came over with a Qin short knife in his hand, and slapped Xiao Lizi on the shoulder twice and said meaningfully: "You kid, what are you panicking about!" How can such a mind lead troops to conquer the world for the king and thieves in the future? Besides, with Doctor Xia in charge, what are you afraid of? ”

Zhao's strength was so great that Xiao Lizi couldn't help grinning in pain: "The lesson of the pawn is that the kid is reckless!" ”

Xiao Lizi has a special affection for Old Doctor Liu, and Zhao Zuchang naturally knows it, he actually doesn't mean to blame Xiao Lizi, but he just doesn't want Xiao Lizi to be blinded by his emotions. Seeing that Xiao Li Zi knew that he was wrong and corrected it, Zhao Chang nodded with satisfaction.

"Summer senior......"

Zhao Shuchang shook the Qin short knife in his hand and said to Xia Wuqi: "Senior Xia, just now you and the general shuai talked about the content of the boy, and I have heard some of it. In fact, as the general said, these people must be Qin people! ”

Xia Wuqi replied when he heard this: "Little brother also knows Xu Dezheng? ”

Hearing this, Zhao Zuchang quipped: "Xu Dezheng? I don't recognize it! However, the kid did know a man named Xu Decai, but unfortunately he died during the defense of the city. ”

Although it was a joke, after saying this sentence, Zhao Zuchang, who was originally arrogant, suddenly became sad.

Xia Wuqi couldn't help frowning when he heard this, "Since the little brother who Zhang Jiangshuai said doesn't recognize it, how can the little brother conclude that these people in black are Qin people?" ”

Hearing this, Zhao Chang smiled honestly, then pulled the short knife out of the scabbard, pointed at the blade and said, "This knife alone can indeed detect the identities of these black-clothed people!" Senior Xia didn't know anything, the boy family was a smelter, and he also knew a little about this new thing like iron! ”

"Oh?"

Xia Wuqi heard Zhao Shuchang say this, his eyes lit up, and he suddenly became interested: "Little brother, might as well talk about it?" ”

Xia Wuqi is a person, like Dr. Liu, his reputation has long spread all over the world, and when he sees Xia Wuqi asking for advice from himself at this time, he is inevitably a little arrogant in his heart.

Flicked the blade of the knife lightly with his fingers, Zhao Chang smiled and said: "When the boy was young, he often went to Xianyang with his father to feed materials, so he knew a little about the smelting of the Qin people. Although iron is thousands of times better than copper, it is difficult to smelt, although the vassal states can basically smelt, but the quality is very different, and the cost is quite high, so it is naturally difficult to popularize. In the world, only I have a lot of iron and stone, and the smelting quality is high. As for the Qin State, it is not enough to worry about it! But ......"

"But what?" Xia Wuqi asked.

Zhao Chang's face was gloomy, and he said with vinegar: "However, there is a kind of iron that is unique to the Qin State, and this kind of iron is far better than the best quality iron smelting in my Zhao Kingdom!" Fortunately, iron is extremely difficult to smelt and extremely expensive, so it can only be used to forge special blades for a very small number of special people, and this is why this knife is very short! ”

Zhao Shuchang's words made Xia Wuqi pause. For the Qin short knife, Xia Wuqi always thought that this short knife, which was not much longer than a dagger, was just a symbol of special status, but he didn't expect that what really limited its length was the cost and difficulty of smelting.

"Shhh...... Little brother means ......"

Zhao Shuchang nodded slightly and said, "This short knife is forged from that special smelting iron!" Now that there are so many people with this knife who have infiltrated my Great Zhao, there must be some ulterior conspiracy in the Qin State! ”

Looking at the iron short knife glowing with cold light in Zhao Shuchang's hand, Xia Wuqi couldn't help but gasp, and then, sweat came out unconsciously.

"Daddy!"

Ah Fang, who had been snuggled in Xia Wuqi's arms and had not squeaked, suddenly pouted and struggled.

"Oh...... Belch...... What's wrong with the room? Xia Wuqi asked stupidly.

"Daddy's pinching the room!" The little girl protested with a bitter face.

Xia Wuqi looked down and saw that one of his hands was tightly pinching the little girl's leg.

"Yikes!"

Xia Wuqi exclaimed, and then removed his hand from Ah Fang's leg with an apologetic expression.

"Fang'er, Daddy......"

"Humph!"

Before Xia Wuqi could finish speaking, Ah Fang snorted angrily, and glanced at Xia Wuqi with big black and shiny eyes.

Although the little girl has a blue nose and swollen face at this time, she is still cute and abnormal. Ah Fang's "anger" did not make Xia Wuqi feel good, but made him gnash his teeth and burn with anger.

Similarly, at this time, Zhang Mancang was no better, because he was anxious, and the war horse under his crotch was neighed uncontrollably by him. Fortunately, the horse is extremely patient, and although it has been tossed three times in a row, it has not been affected much.

Just when Xia Wuqi was frowning angrily and Zhang Mancang was galloping wildly, Zhao Zheng had already run all the way north......
