Sixteen years later.

Winter. Twentieth of the twentieth month of the lunar

The heavy snow has been falling for several days, and the birds and beasts of Heilong Mountain at the junction of Yuzhou and Fengping are extinct, and they are reckless.

At this time, there were two horses, one white and one black, on the sheep intestine path, and the horses were both horses, but they really couldn't run fast, and half of the horse's legs were sunk when they went down with their hooves.

The girl on the white horse, dressed in a bright red cloak, stood out on the snow, and she lifted her hood to reveal a delicate little face as bright as a peach blossom.

The dense and long eyelashes blinked, the fine snow powder fluttered, the cherry blossom-colored beak pursed, and the delicate voice was like a yellow warbler out of the valley.

"Brother, I don't think that beast will appear, or let's go down the mountain and come up when the snow stops."

The man on the black horse also took off his hood, his slender phoenix eyes narrowed to look at the wind and snow in the distance, and his thin lips were firmly pursed into a sharp straight line.

With a wave of his hand holding the horsewhip, he said, "We are tired of it, and we must catch it today." ”

Hearing her brother say this, the girl's spirits were greatly lifted, she took a flat silver wine jug from the horse, took a sip, wiped her mouth, and threw it to the young man, "Brother, take a sip of wine to warm up, this is the best vodka I stole from my father." ”

The young man took a big sip of it, then kicked it in his arms, and then said to the girl, "You girl, give me less wine in the future." ”

The girl was coquettish, "Am I not here to keep out the cold?" Brother, let's chase it. ”

"Okay, we must hold the beast today."

After walking for a while, I saw a little fox on the snow that was almost the same color as the snow, staring at a pair of black and moist fox eyes and looking around vigilantly.

The girl was so excited that she immediately turned over and dismounted, and quietly outflanked her.

The young man also dismounted, and he made a gesture, clenched the whip in his hand, and outflanked him from the other direction.

The girl thought, "Little girl, you can tie your hands and go back and make a shawl for my mother, and it will not be in vain that I will chase you here." ”

It turned out that this good-looking pair of men and women were the twin sons and daughters of Central China Commander Mo Pinglan, Mo Xiangsi and Mo Zijin. They went into the mountains to hunt, met a white fox, and thought that it was their mother's birthday in the first month, so they wanted to hunt it and give it to their mother.

The fox was extremely cunning, but chasing the brother and sister all the way was also at the end of the road. At this time, seeing the person approaching, it jumped up and rushed towards Mo Xiangsi, who looked the weakest.

If it weren't for the fear of shooting and wounding its fur, Acacia would have ended up with this beast a long time ago.

But looking at its pointed fox face, she became angry, and the whip in her hand flicked nimbly, and it was pumping on its nose.

The beast let out a wail and rolled on the snow, and Qingbao immediately threw the whip over and rolled up the fox's little body.

The fox lay on the ground and pretended to be dead.

Qingbao stepped forward and kicked it, "What are you pretending, you will always die anyway, do you think I will spare you?" ”

The fox opened its eyes and burst into tears at him.

It is said that the fox is a spiritual creature and a fairy family, Acacia smiled and joked Qingbao, "Brother, this fox will not be a mother, please let it go and become a girl to repay the favor." ”

Qingbao has a boring temperament, and after glancing at her, he gave her a harsh lesson, "You are a girl's family, and you don't talk in tune all day long, who dares to marry you?" ”

"Then I won't get married, can't our dad afford to support me?"

Qingbao sighed sincerely, "I can't afford to raise it." ”

Acacia stepped forward and wanted to stroke the fox's fur, "Brother, look at it, this fox's belly is quite big, mom, she's a mother." ”

It turned out that the fox was a lactating female fox.

The fox's tears fell even harder, and a low wail came from his throat.

Acacia softened, "Brother, it's pitiful, let it go." ”

Qingbao asked, "Then you made a birthday present for your mother?" ”

"Birthday presents can be anything, this is also a mother, what if it dies and its child dies?"

"Okay, listen to the girl, let it go." As he spoke, Qingbao shook off the whip and let the fox go.

The fox immediately got up and walked, angry lovesickness scolded, "This little one has no conscience." ”

Who knew that the fox would arch his paws at them only after he felt safe, as if in thanks.

"This fox, even this, it seems that it is good to catch it and perform at the circus."

The fox heard the crisis in the words, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.

Acacia laughed uncontrollably, even if he couldn't catch the fox, he was happy.

Qingbao pulled her, "Since we don't catch it, we will go down the mountain, don't make the wind and snow bigger and can't go down." ”

Acacia nodded, and the two of them were just about to leave, when they suddenly saw a horse team coming in the distance.

There were more than a dozen of them, and it was too late to dodge.

Qingbao narrowed his eyes, feeling that these dozen people were not simple.

They looked like a fox being chased, and though they were dressed ordinarily, he could smell the smell of alcohol, cigarettes, and gunpowder from them.

Horse thief!

The thought flashed through his mind, but he didn't feel right.

There hasn't been a horse thief in this area for years, unless it's from somewhere else.

Acacia also raised his vigilance, "Brother, something is wrong." ”

Qingbao nodded, "Don't care, use static braking." ”

Acacia nodded, but put his hand on the gun at his waist.

When the gang approached, Acacia suddenly raised his voice and said to Qingbao: "Brother, the fox has already run away, let's stop chasing, let's go down the mountain." ”

Qingbao nodded, "Okay, don't let your father and mother wait at home for a long time." ”

They were very clever enough to tell the gang that they were just going into the mountains to hunt foxes.

However, the other party also needs to believe it.

Their horses are all good horses and horses, and they are all richly dressed, so it is clear at a glance that they are not ordinary hunters.

In this barren mountain and snow, if the other party is really a lawbreaker, it is estimated that the two of them will never be left.

The gang approached them, then slowly passed by.

Seeing that it was about to pass, a middle-aged man with a beard on horseback suddenly spoke to them, "This little brother, you are also here to hunt on a snowy day." ”

Also, it shows that they also want to fool with hunting.

Qingbao blocked Acacia slightly, and said in a deep voice: "Yes." ”

"Haha, so are we, I heard that there are foxes here, so I want to hunt a few for the New Year."

"If you don't wait for the snow to stop before you go, we have been chasing for a long time, but we still let that beast escape, too clever."

"We're short of money."

Qingbao hugged his fist at him, "Then send it off." ”

People can't see it, and Acacia breathes a sigh of relief.

"Brother, let's go."

Qingbao shook his head, "You go down the mountain to find someone first, and I'll follow them." ”

"No, let's go together, besides, what are you doing with them?"

Qingbao said: "They are carrying arms on horseback. ”

"Munitions?" Acacia's eyes widened, and at the junction of North and Central China, there was a group of people carrying arms up the mountain......

"You hurry down the mountain to gather our guards, and I'll follow them quietly."

"Brother, this is too dangerous, why don't we gather the guards and chase them together."

Qingbao seriously refused, "No, this mountain is too big, the snow is big, and it will soon lose its trace, obedient." ”

"But ......"

Qingbao touched her face, "Don't you still believe in your brother's ability?" ”

Acacia had no choice, so he had to hand over all the useful things on his body to him, "Then you have to be careful, brother, don't forget, you are the young marshal of the Central China Army." ”

Qingbao nodded, "Don't worry, the horse will be for you." ”

Qingbao abandoned his horse and chased in the direction of the gang.

Acacia didn't care about worrying, and hurriedly pulled the horse down the mountain.

I don't know what's going on today, she didn't go far, she was going to meet a bunch of people.

The gang were all dressed in black cloaks, strong and strong, and looked more dangerous than the gang.

In front of him was a man in his thirties, he had a baby face, and he spoke in a nice voice, "Little girl, have you ever seen a group of men on horseback entering the mountains?" ”

Acacia saw that these people all had guns, and she was afraid that these people were in the same group as those people and would do bad things together, so she shook her head, "I didn't see it." ”

I thought it would be over, but I didn't expect the man to continue to ask: "What are you doing in the mountains on a snowy day, little girl?" I also rode two horses, just as we were ...... The young master's horse is injured, borrow your black horse and ride it. ”

Acacia glared at each other.

They all said that they didn't borrow their daughter-in-law or borrowed horses, but this person dared to ask her if she borrowed a horse, was she teasing him?

Ignoring her brother's low profile, the whip in her hand was pumped out, "Be bold, pull out your dog teeth." ”

The man turned his head away and said that the little girl was so spicy, and the crowd burst into laughter.

Acacia was mad, if she hadn't been in a hurry to find someone to save her brother, she would have sucked this person's mouth.

She took the whip and was about to leave, but the man stopped and reached out to grab her by the tail.

The acacia horse was frightened, and when he stumbled, he threw the acacia down.

She was caught off guard and was about to fall

Suddenly, a pair of strong hands grabbed the reins of her horse, and after a flash of the figure, she was embraced into a warm embrace.

Her first feeling was so warm, just like her brother.

But the second feeling was that she had insulted Dengzi.

It turned out that the man was already sitting firmly behind her, his hands around her and holding the reins.

Since she was a child, except for her brother and father, she has never been so close to other men.

It is said that men stink, but this person has no other meaning except for the mint smell mixed with the smell of tobacco.

She couldn't help but look back, only to hear a low, nice voice overhead, saying, "Don't move." ”

She really didn't dare to move, the man's voice seemed to have a magical power, and she had to obey.

Then, she heard the man ask, "You are leading two horses, is there another person with you?" ”

"Hmm." Acacia didn't want to answer, but he answered against his will.

The thin lips under the man's black hood are raised, forming a beautiful arc.

"What a good girl. Is that man a man, is it your brother's father or a lover? ”

Lover, you are a big aunt. "It's my brother."

"Your brother followed the group into the mountains, didn't he?"

Acacia was just about to answer, when suddenly a cold wind blew and made her shiver, and she woke up in an instant, how did she leak her old bottom.

She turned around angrily, but she wanted to see what he was.

She turned her head suddenly, just as the man was tickled by the glitch on her hood, and by chance, the lips of the two men touched together.

Not! Although it was separated by a touch, it was felt solidly.

Acacia blushed, and the wind blew her hood down, revealing a puffing little face.

The man lowered his head and took her face in his eyes, stunned for a moment.

Acacia didn't react for most of the day.

For no other reason, both of them are too good-looking.

At this time, the wind and snow were all over the sky, and the mountains were white, but there were only two people left, one red and one black, in the snow.

Yes, they only see each other in their eyes.

"Ahem, young master, it's time for us to hit the road."

The baby-faced middle-aged man broke the gaze between them very inappropriately.

The man came back to his senses, he lowered his eyelids, and seemed a little shy, "Girl, I'm sorry, we're going to borrow your horse to chase the bandits." ”

"Bandits? You say those dozen people are bandits? This is the border between the two places, where did the bandits come from? ”

"It's outsiders, the purpose of their entry at this time is to rob and slaughter, we have eliminated most of their men, and only a dozen of them are left to flee here, if the girl knows their whereabouts, please let me know."

Acacia looked at the man's dark eyes like a whirlpool, and actually chose to believe him.

I can't say why, I always feel that he has a convincing magic.

"My brother also said that they are not good people, so he followed them, let me go down the mountain and call people, in that case, I will take you there."

"Your brother? Alone? It's nonsense, they're all outlaws. ”

He said that Acacia was not happy, "My brother is very powerful. ”

He laughed, and the hearty laughter shook the snow from the trees, "Alright, let's go find your awesome brother." ”

As he spoke, his slender legs caught the horse's belly, and the white horse turned around and walked forward.

This man...... He rode a horse with her.

Acacia was very uncomfortable, "You slow down, I'll ride the black rose." ”

"Black Rose? Is he your brother's horse? ”

Acacia nodded, "Is there something wrong?" I started it. ”

The man glanced at the fierce black horse and forced a smile, "It's good, then what's the name of your horse?" ”

"White Rose, of course." She almost made you stupid.

The man couldn't help but smile: "Sure enough, it's a name with personality." ”

He praised the horse, but he had no intention of leaving.

If it weren't for the fact that he was going to save his brother, he would have taken him down.

At this time, the person who started in front came back and said a few words to the middle-aged babyface, and his expression became solemn.

"Young master, there is a fight ahead."

Acacia was suddenly frightened, "It must be my brother." ”

The man grabbed her hard, then said to Babyface, "Uncle Stone, let's speed up, and this time we must destroy them." ”

"Young master, don't worry, brothers, come on!"

But the man didn't wait for them, he took the lead and rushed forward with lovesickness.

When Acacia arrived, he saw that his brother was surrounded by people, and there were corpses lying on the ground, and it seemed that his brother had eliminated a lot.

But now that he had run out of bullets, and with a whip in one hand and a short knife in the other, he was about to fight hand-to-hand.

Acacia put his mind at ease, "As long as the other party doesn't use weapons, my brother can deal with it." ”

She is very confident in her brother's ability.

The man also exclaimed, "Your brother is indeed very powerful, but I'm afraid they can use guns." ”

Before he could say anything, he jumped up from his horse, and the two-handed pistol thumped, knocking down several people who were about to shoot Qingbao.

Qingbao saw that most of the crisis was over, and the knife light flashed at the bottom of his sleeve, and two flying knives were stuck in the enemy's throat......

A battle without suspense, in the end, it turned out to be a match between Qingbao and a man.

Acacia is thrilling to watch, this man is very powerful, and he can even compare with his brother.

She has lived for almost twenty years, and the person she admires the most is this brother who was born a few minutes earlier than herself.

Even if she is looking for a husband, she will only marry a hero like her brother.

Thinking of the hug and kiss on the horse's back just now, her face was hot.

At the end of the battle, the man's subordinates were cleaning up the battlefield, and Qingbao ran over, "Acacia, are you okay?" ”

The man turned around when he heard the name, "Your name is Acacia?" Mo Acacia? ”

Acacia raised her vigilance, "Who are you?" How do I know my name? ”

The man didn't answer his question, but asked Qingbao, "Then the elder brother is Mo Zijin." ”

Qingbao raised his eyebrows, "Then Your Excellency must be Helian Haoxuan, Young Marshal Helian." ”

"Brother Qingbao, just call me Haoxuan." As he spoke, he took off his hood, revealing a handsome angular face.

This face has the flying of a teenager and the sophistication of an adult, but it is more of the powerful aura of the overlord.

Acacia couldn't help but be stunned, this is Haoxuan, the Haoxuan called her sister, she was pink and cute when she was a child, how did she become like this now?

He looked like he was several years older than himself, and he was so handsome in battle.

Acquaintances were very affectionate when they met, and Qingbao wanted to know the origin of this gang of bandits, so he followed them down the mountain.

On the way, I met the guards who came to look for them again, and the road was really lively today.

Helian Haoxuan has always been with Qingbao, and he doesn't see him without horses.

And his annoying Uncle Stone, as if he had seen through Acacia's thoughts, said to her: "Miss Mo, our young marshal just took the bandit's horse, and this is why there is a horse to ride." ”

Acacia whipped the horse's buttocks, and White Rose took a few painful steps forward and left the stone.

Hearing the voice, Haoxuan turned his head and happened to collide with Acacia's eyes.

He smiled at her, his eyes bright as obsidian.

Acacia only felt his heart skip a beat, and he felt like he had been hit by something.

She regretted it.

A few days ago, her mother told her that Aunt Xue's younger brother Haoxuan had returned to China after graduating from the West Point Military Academy abroad, and she wanted the two of them to meet and cultivate their relationship.

As soon as she heard it, she was disgusted, Haoxuan was one year younger than her, only nineteen, how could he be her husband.

What she wants is to be a few years older than her mother like her father, and that will hurt.

She refused without even thinking about it, and now she knows that she regrets it.

It turns out that some people's maturity cannot be determined by age.

For example, Wei Hao, who is from Uncle Wei Hengnan's family, is also a big man, and he is going to marry Uncle Han's Anqi, who is like a monkey all day long, not like an adult at all.

The girl with her heart came to her temporary residence at the foot of the mountain.

This was prepared by Helian Haoxuan, there was a fire in the house, and the pores of the sweat were open as soon as he came in.

Helian Haoxuan found a village girl from the villagers below the mountain to serve Acacia, she washed her face and soaked her feet, and then she felt warm.

Nestled in the bed, she asked the village girl, "What are those men doing?" I said my brother. ”

"Your brother? Miss, which one is your brother? ”

"It's the tall, long-eyed, handsome one."

"There are two tall men with long eyes, do you mean the ones in black or the green?"

Is there any difference between black and blue clothes? Acacia pursed her lips, "It's just that the eyes are very beautiful, and the white one." ”

Qingbao is whiter than Haoxuan, Haoxuan is bronze, and his face is very angular.

But Qingbao is better-looking, with a pair of long phoenix eyes with a pointed chin, a little feminine.

"Actually, the two masters drank together, and they roasted such a big roe deer."

"Okay, don't call me for drinking, I'll take a look."

With that, Acacia got down to the ground and put on his shoes and socks and ran to the front.

Haoxuan and Qingbao didn't know what they were talking about, Haoxuan took a firewood stick and wrote and drew on the ground, Qingbao looked very attentively.

Acacia jumped behind Qingbao, "Okay, you don't call me when you eat delicious food." ”

Haoxuan threw down the firewood and handed her a piece of salt-soaked leg meat, "Eat, it's fragrant." ”

Acacia was not reserved, she took a bite but opened her mouth, "It's hot, it's hot." ”

Qingbao looked at his sister and reached out to hand her the wine.

She took a sip, but squirted out, "Brother, this is wine." ”

Qingbao is really human, "Aren't you able to drink?" ”

Acacia still wants to keep a bit of a ladylike image in front of Haoxuan, but she didn't think of this stupid brother.

Haoxuan found another cup and poured her a glass, "It's still warm to drink, otherwise you will get sick in this wind and snow." ”

This gave Acacia an excuse to drink, and she said thank you and took a sip.

Hao Xuan smiled silently and kept looking at her.

But when she drank it all, he poured it on her.

Qingbao is not stupid, he frowned, what does this Helian Haoxuan mean, to get his stupid sister drunk?

Acacia is actually not a too lively girl, especially after drinking, she is very well-behaved.

Qingbao drank too much and found an excuse to send her back.

Hao Xuan didn't stop them and sent them to the door.

As soon as I went out, Acacia woke up.

"Brother, what are you doing?"

"What are you doing? Pretend to be drunk for me. ”

"It seems that I have a small amount of alcohol, or see if he Helian Haoxuan will take advantage of me."

Stretched out his hand and flicked it on her head, "Silly girl, are you going to marry him?" ”

"Why not, brother, I think I like him, we are a family, my mother is going to get married a long time ago, I dislike him for being young and didn't agree, now I regret it, I want to get him."

Qingbao covered her mouth, "You are a girl, can you pay attention to what you say?" ”

"For the sake of my lifelong happiness, brother, I will not be reserved."

This sister has a big idea, Qingbao knows that she can't convince her, "Then what are you going to do?" ”

She tilted her head and thought for a while, "Shall I go with him to seal the peace?" ”

"It's not good, it's the New Year, you rotten excuse."

"I'm going to accompany Aunt Xue to celebrate the New Year, can't I?"

"You're not afraid that Dad will break your legs?"

Acacia patted Qingbao's leg, "Brother, tell our dad, rush here to fight!" ”

In this way, Qingbao considered whether to give it to Haoxuan at a low price.

"That's it, I'll go and tell him tomorrow that I'm going home with him."
