The Yuan family was buried for Yuan Xu.

At the funeral, Yuan Shao announced that he would use troops against Cao Cao.

Less than a year after the official crossing, taking advantage of the days when Yuan Xu blocked Cao's army, the Yuan family gathered an army again to prepare to conquer Cao.

A house in the middle of Penglai Island.

Two guards of the Tianhai Battalion stood at the door.

In the room, Zhen Mi sat in front of the bed, carefully wiping the forehead of a person lying there.

The man who was in a coma suddenly muttered, "Father, no! Can't go out ......"

The murmuring was getting quieter, and I couldn't hear what he was saying.

"Childe is talking nonsense again?" Nian'er asked softly.

"Always." With a worried face, Zhen Mi said: "Although it seems that the high fever has not subsided when I have just returned to the island, I still have a fever from time to time in the past few days. It's intermittent and unreassuring......"

"Nian'er, change another basin of cold water." Zhen Mi instructed Nian'er.

Nian'er was about to leave in response, when the door was pushed open, and Liu Mian walked in.

After meeting Zhen Mi, Liu Mian asked, "How is the son?" ”

Zhen Mi shook her head.

Nian'er was about to leave, Liu Mian said: "The slave family has heard that aquatic plants can remove heat and poison. The injury has not improved for a long time, so it is better to get some aquatic plants for the son to cover his forehead. ”

"That's it." Zhen Mi instructed Nian'er: "Let people get some water plants." ”

Nian'er left in response.

Out of the room, she beckoned the two maids to go with them to the small lake in the center of the island.

There were some freshwater aquatic plants growing on the edge of the lake, and before the two maids stepped forward, Nian'er had already run over to salvage them.

When she arrived in Penglai, Nian'er followed Zhen Mi all day long, and her identity was certainly not comparable to that of ordinary maids.

Seeing that she was doing it herself, two maids hurriedly stepped forward, and one of them said, "The girl can rest." The two of us can salvage it! ”

Nian'er didn't respond, grabbed a handful of water weeds and pulled them up.

Something imperceptible is often dormant in the water.

There was a water snake lurking under the water weed she caught.

The act of grabbing the aquatic weeds alarmed the water snakes.

The hiding place was destroyed, and the water snake, out of instinct, opened its mouth and bit it fiercely.

With an exclamation, Nian'er threw the aquatic plants aside, and the water snake that bit her quickly jumped into the lake. With a few swings of the tail, it disappeared without a trace.

Four small tooth marks were bitten by the water snake at the tiger's mouth, Nian'er pursed her lips to cover the wound, and her pink face was twitching in pain.

"Girl!" Two maids ran up to her, and one of them said, "Although the water snake is not poisonous, it is important to bite it......

"What's the matter?" Nian'er stared: "Does it matter to the son, or is it important for me, the slave?" Don't say more, hurry up and salvage! ”

The two maids didn't dare to say any more, and scooped up the water and weeds.

With the cleaned aquatic plants, he returned to Yuan Xu's residence.

When Nian'er held the aquatic grass and handed it to Zhen Mi, Zhen Mi found that she had several small holes in her hands that looked like they had been bitten by snakes.

"What's wrong?" Look at Nian'er. Zhen Mi asked, "What was bitten by something?" ”

"It's just a water snake." Lowering her head, Nian'er replied softly.

"Water snakes are snakes, too." Zhen Mi said: "You don't need to serve here, go to the wound doctor quickly, and heal the wound first!" ”

Nian'er didn't dare to disobey, and left the room in response.

"Miss Nian'er is too worried about her son." Seeing her leave, Liu Mian said: "Otherwise, I wouldn't have been bitten by the water snake, and I didn't feel any pain at all." ”

"Miss Liu may not know that she has a good relationship with her son." Putting the water grass on Yuan Xu's forehead with his own hands, Zhen Mi said: "The son ransomed her from the master's house." It's not like shouting and drinking like a slave or a maid. The little girl was grateful from the bottom of her heart, and when she encountered an assassin, she blocked a sword for her son. ”

Explained by Zhen Mi. Liu Mian seemed to understand something.

She didn't ask what happened to Nian'er and Yuan Xu, she didn't want to ask.

As long as she can stay in Penglai and never return to Liu Bei, she will be satisfied!

After Zhen Mi's order, Nian'er went to find a doctor for the wounded.

I didn't go far, and I was confronted by someone.

"Miss Nian'er." Far from the old. The man said hello.

Seeing that it was him, Nian'er frowned slightly, and had the intention to avoid it.

It was Ma Yi who came, and when he found that Nian'er wanted to avoid it, he quickened his pace and stepped forward and said, "Girl, don't leave in a hurry." I just want to ask Childe how is it? ”

"The general can ask the young lady, I am just a slave and I don't know." Nian'er lowered her head and walked away quickly.

Looking at her back, Ma Yi was a little disappointed.

has always had a good impression of Nian'er, and Yuan Xu has no intention of objecting.

Ma Yi once wanted to please Nian'er, as long as she agreed, she would ask her son for marriage.

Back in Penglai these days, he found that Nian'er was very different from before.

In the past, he was deliberately close, and Nian'er would have some responses.

When she came back this time, she seemed to avoid the plague god, and hid far away when she saw him.

Helpless, Ma Yi walked to Yuan Xu's residence.

"General Ma!" After walking a few steps, Ma Yi heard someone calling him.

Turning his head, he saw a simple palanquin carried by two soldiers.

It is said to be a sedan chair, but in fact it is a thick linen tied between two wooden sticks.

Sitting on the sedan chair was the frustration that Yuan Xu had killed from Puyang.

In the battle of Puyang, Yuan Xu was seriously injured, and Zhao Yi held a gun in one hand and rushed out of the encirclement with him on his back.

He lost his legs in that battle.

The two legs are still there, but the meridians are broken and they can't walk.

Ma Yi saluted and said, "I've seen Fu Gong." ”

"The general is going to visit Childe?"

"Exactly!" Ma Yi replied: "If a certain person was also by the child's side that day......"

"Although the prince of Puyang lost the first battle, he lost miserably!" He sighed: "There are more than 10,000 soldiers in our army, and more than half of them are yellow turbans. The Cao army killed the Yellow Turban and immediately dispersed, and the son led less than 5,000 Yuan family soldiers to fight hard, and the Cao army suffered huge losses. General Zhao galloped on a single horse, picking and killing five Cao generals. ”

"There are too few troops, and they can't do it!" Frustrated shook his head.

He was about to visit Yuan Xu, but Fu Zhu stopped him from talking about the Battle of Puyang, and Ma Yi asked puzzledly: "What did Fu Gong say about this?" ”

"The general once followed Gongzi to confront Cao Jun, and then left because of Gongzi's assignment." Frustrated and said: "In the battle of Puyang, only General Zhao is by the side of Gongzi, although the general is not at fault, how will everyone think of it?" ”

Ma Yi was stunned: "What do you mean? ”

"Don't go to visit Childe yet, wait until he wakes up." Frustratedly said: "Although the lady is well aware of the righteousness and does not blame the general, but when she sees the general, her heart will be uncomfortable!" ”

"Thank you for the point!" Ma Yi thanked him: "The last general will retire first!" ”

frustrated and returned the salute, and watched Ma Yi leave.

Ma Yi's back became farther and farther away, and he lowered his head and pressed his legs, and the corners of his mouth hooked up with a touch of helplessness.

was almost killed by Cao Cao, but Yuan Xu rescued him, but in the end, he still couldn't escape the fate of losing his legs in the battle!

Sighing softly, he said to the two sedan chair bearers: "Go back!" (To be continued.) )
