"Begonia, can you still stand it?" Mei Yuanchen grabbed the reins and brought the horse closer to Begonia's mount, and then slowly stabilized, only to see her face pale and sweaty, and asked with pity.

"I can stand it, I..." Begonia said this reluctantly, and his breath became rapid, his eyes trembled up and down, and he was about to fall off the horse's back. Mei Yuanchen made a move to "ride the crane and swim", jumped over with a lean, and caught her steadily.

When Haitang woke up, he found that he was already lying on a strange bed, his head tilted to the side of the bed, and by the dim oil lamp, Mei Yuanchen's blurred back came into view. Begonia secretly accumulates strength and slowly props up her body from the bed...

Mei Yuanchen heard the sound, hurriedly walked over from the table, helped her lean on the bed rail, and said warmly: "Begonia, are you better? Are you hungry? I prepared some pear porridge for you, which is special for the heat, can you eat some?" Without waiting for Begonia to reply, he walked straight to the table, scooped a bowl of cold porridge from the food plate and brought it over, and sat down on the edge of the bed leaning on Begonia. The figure sat still, took a spoonful of pear porridge to Haitang's mouth, and said softly: "Good Haitang, you come and eat a bite of cold porridge." ”

In Haitang's memory, since she was a child, she has never been taken care of and fed so gently and considerately, and she looked at Mei Yuanchen with a serious expression, and the two lines of tears couldn't stop rolling down.

"Begonia, what are you crying about?" Mei Yuanchen had already probed her pulse and knew that she was just suffering from heat deficiency, and there was no major problem, so she was not in a hurry. While reaching out to help her wipe away her tears, she chuckled and whispered: "You are my lovely person, I will guard you when you are sick, and it is very common to take care of you, why are you crying? I still have to stay with you for 80 years, 100 years, guard you, take care of you for 80 years, 100 years, where are your tears enough?"

Haitang heard Mei Yuanchen's whispering, felt his palm gently caressing his face, and the warm current in his heart continued, nodded slowly, and said with a smile: "Brother Yuanchen, I'm hungry!"

Hearing this "Brother Yuanchen", Mei Yuanchen's heart fluttered, and a spoonful of sweet pear porridge was fed to Haitang's mouth. This sweetness, from the tongue coating, flowed to the heart, and left an indelible mark in the memory of the begonia.

"Brother Yuanchen, I'm so full! Two bowls of pear porridge in the lower abdomen, the begonias were already full, and seeing that Mei Yuanchen was about to serve again, he hurriedly took his hand to stop him.

Mei Yuanchen thought about it, it seemed that the amount of food in two bowls was the limit of Begonia, so he didn't insist anymore, put the bowl on the table and returned to the edge of the bed to hold Begonia's hand. "Begonia, let's rest for a day tomorrow, you are so resting, when you are about to recover, we will hurry again. Mei Yuanchen said to Haitang with a smile.

Haitang shook his head lightly and said softly: "Brother Yuanchen, how come I don't know what you think in your heart." Now the lord and the lady don't know what the situation is, how can you rest assured? Today, Begonia's body is not angry, and she has missed half a day's trip. I, I've been... I can't hold you back anymore. You and the Dao Masters of the True Martial Arts Temple go first, and go to Anxian early, and your heart will be at peace a moment earlier. I followed, and there was something tight. ”

The day before yesterday, Mei Yuanchen met with all the senior brothers of the division, and Zhan Ming told the brothers and sisters in the audience what happened under the mountain. Although the Taoist does not advocate chivalry, the Taoist never lacks chivalry. When all the Taoist priests heard what the gangsters of the Turkic country were doing in the capital, they were all so angry that they gritted their teeth. When the Zhanming Daoist proposed to send his disciples down the mountain to protect Mei Siyuan, they all agreed with both hands. After some deliberation, it was agreed that this group of twenty-four disciples of the True Martial Arts Guan descendant were sent down the mountain to protect Mei Siyuan. Among these 24 people, there are 6 people from the "Zhan" character generation and 18 people from the "stop" generation, led by the 54-year-old Zhan Dao people.

During the day, when Begonia was asleep, several senior brothers of the "Zhan" character came to Mei Yuanchen to discuss:

"Little junior brother, I'm going to be on the road for three days in a row, and I'm afraid this Begonia girl will be really difficult to persevere. When I look at her, she has been in decline since yesterday, and if it weren't for the support of her tenacious thoughts, I am afraid that she would have fallen a day earlier. But it's not always possible to stay up like this, once this girl has something good, I'm afraid it's a big bad thing. ”

"Senior Brother Zhantong, I'm also worried about this matter, do you have any good plans?"

"Hey, it's not a good idea, but there's no way to do it. I will tell you what you will do, and it is still yours. ”

"Senior brother, but it's okay to speak!"

"Your father is in danger, you must know better than I am. It can be said that if you arrive one day earlier, you will be relieved one day earlier. According to our horsepower, it was originally possible to travel 3560 miles a day, but with this girl's family, we had to travel 100 miles less for an extra hour a day. The capital is 2,100 miles away from Jinzhou, and we have only traveled more than 700 miles in the past three days, and there are still 1,400 miles to travel. According to the current situation, it is better for us to march in two batches, Miss Begonia followed the twelve of them with Zhan Ru's junior brother, and thirteen of us went forward day and night, and I thought that it would be there in four days. ”

... ...

Haitang gently grabbed Mei Yuanchen's hands and persuaded softly: "Brother Yuanchen, after all, I don't have the foundation to practice martial arts, and taking me along the way will definitely drag down your trip." You and the Taoist elders have been waiting for me, but I'll be three or two days late, and I'll be there. Maybe we're resting right now, and those villains are on their way!"

Mei Yuanchen's body shook coldly, "Do the gangsters really want to rush to harm my father?" Thinking of this, Mei Yuanchen only felt that a stagnant breath was blocked in his heart, making him breathless.

Haitang persuaded again: "Brother Yuanchen, it's so agreed." I see that the full moon outside is very bright, so why don't you leave tonight at night to make up for today's delayed trip. ”

Mei Yuanchen didn't insist anymore, nodded lightly and said, "Good Begonia, I will let the twelve senior brothers and nephews go with you, and I will go first with the other twelve senior brothers and nephews." Slow down your journey, and don't rush any further. I'll go to Senior Brother Zhantong, pack up, and set off in a while. ”

Haitang smiled slightly: "Yes, it should be like this!"

Mei Yuanchen helped the begonia to lie down, extinguished the oil lamp and closed the door.

"Knock! knock!" It was already two o'clock, and three knocks sounded at the door.

"Little junior brother, are you here?" said Zhan Tong.

Mei Yuanchen was a little surprised to see that he was still wearing the Taoist robe he wore during the day, but he didn't pay attention to it, and asked with some embarrassment: "Senior brother, are you tired?"

"Hehe, little junior brother, there is no need to say more, let's do it!" After speaking, Zhan Tong took off the matching sword from the nail hanging at the door and knocked on the door three times. In a moment, the doors of the four rooms next door opened together, and the twelve old and young Taoist priests had already packed up, walked to the corridor, and looked here.

Mei Yuanchen's heart was agitated, he bowed deeply to everyone, turned around and walked quickly downstairs. "Whew!", "Whew!", "Whew!" a sound like the wind blowing.

Under the bright moon, the thirteen horsemen galloped all the way to the west...
