039 Murder with a knife
In this way, Jiang Shan and Xue'er were staggering on horses, thinking about their own thoughts, and no one spoke. Although they all hope that this road can continue forever, no matter how long the road is, there is an end. Finally, they returned to Peach Blossom Valley at noon. At this time, Bai Nanqiu had already arranged for someone to clean up the valley, and those who were injured had also undergone careful treatment. Facing the welcoming crowd in the middle of the road, Jiang Shan and Xue'er were not overly happy, they just expressed it lightly, and then went home silently.
When she got home, Cher jumped into the hot spring to wash herself, while Jiang Shan stayed in the kitchen, busy preparing meals for the family. When Xue'er took a bath, Jiangshan also cooked the meal, and it happened that the white pigeon also brought Yan'er back. The white pigeon blushed and didn't dare to look at Jiang Shan's eyes, and Jiang Shan was also embarrassed and uncomfortable. Xue'er is such a smart person, of course she has seen everything in her eyes, so she curiously asked Bai Ge what happened to Jiangshan? Where did Bai Ge dare to say that thing? At the moment, he had to stop talking. Jiang Shan saw the embarrassed appearance of the white pigeon, she was really afraid that she would say something that would make Xue'er unhappy, of course, she was even more afraid that Xue'er would embarrass her because of this, so she hurriedly changed the topic and said: "Oh, Shiniang, don't be embarrassed for her, what can happen between us? Besides, Bai Ge takes care of Yan'er all day long, and she doesn't have much time!"
When Xue'er heard Jiang Shan's explanation, she believed his words, but she still joked: "Who said that there can't be a story between you? You see that our white pigeon is already a mature girl, and she is so beautiful, I think it is also very compatible with our owner!"
When Bai Ge heard Xue'er's words, he hurriedly and shyly refused: "No, I am a lowly subordinate, how can I be worthy of our master?
Jiangshan has always advocated equality for all, and at this time, he heard Bai Ge say what 'slave maid', so he opened his mouth to correct: "We are all a family, don't say anything 'slave maid', 'master', I don't like to hear it!"
When the white pigeon heard that Jiangshan was unhappy, he hurriedly asked for forgiveness and said: "Please calm the anger, the slave and maid will never dare to say this again, which will make the master angry." ”
Xue'er looked at the white pigeon who was sad because of self-blame, and couldn't help but feel distressed, and immediately said: "Don't be difficult for our little white pigeon, the lord in her heart is a big hero, how can she call you the master without respect?"
Jiang Shan saw that the feudal etiquette fixed in the depths of their minds could not be eliminated for a while, so he smiled tolerantly at the moment: "Okay, let's stop talking about those boring things, I think we should hurry up and eat!"
Xue'er also happened to be a little hungry, and after listening to Jiang Shan's proposal, she urged her to eat quickly. So the family sat around the table and began to eat. Jiang Shan originally wanted to invite Bai Ge to dinner together, but because she agreed to say anything, she had no choice but to follow her wish and serve on the side.
Xue'er looked at the delicious meals made by Jiang Shan, and couldn't help but think of the table of food she had prepared before, because she was bent on achieving the good thing she dreamed of with Jiang Shan, it was a pity that the table was delicious. Looking back on the past now, I can't help but have a great appetite, so I hurriedly sat down and picked up chopsticks and ate hard. Jiang Shan happily looked at her devouring her, and was busy adding rice and soup.
After an hour of gobbling up, Cher finally had her fill. At this time, Jiang Shan had already eaten and was waiting on the side. After Jiangshan and Xue'er had eaten, the white pigeon fed the child again, and was busy arranging the dishes and chopsticks.
Jiang Shan was originally an active person, but at this time, because of the humiliation and fright that Xue'er had been subjected to recently, he patiently sat down to talk and drink tea with Xue'er. Xue'er saw that Jiang Shan could accompany her at this time, and of course she was indescribably happy in her heart. But just as the two of them were talking happily, they heard the sound of crying in the room.
"Who's crying?" asked Cher, confused.
"It's not like Yan'er's cry, is it a white pigeon, what is she crying for?" Jiang Shan also asked in confusion.
"White Dove, what's wrong with you?" Cher couldn't help but shout into the kitchen.
"Madam, sir, hurry up and save my brother!" the white pigeon ran out crying when he heard Cher's call.
"What's wrong, what's wrong with your brother?" asked Cher anxiously.
"My brother is going to die!" cried the white dove.
"Who wants to kill him?" Jiang Shan also asked curiously.
"My father!" replied the white pigeon, wiping away his tears.
"Why did your father want to kill him?" Jiang Shan and Xue'er couldn't help but ask at the same time.
"He said my brother had hurt the lord and the lady!" said the white dove, still crying.
"How can your brother harm us?" asked both at the same time.
At this time, the white pigeon finally stopped crying and made the truth of the matter clear. After Jiang Shan and Xue'er heard this, they were also very angry, but they finally forgave Bai Hu and the two of them for the sake of Bai Nanqiu's sake.
The next thing is, of course, to strengthen the repair of fortifications and the training of martial arts all day. Everyone in the rivers and valleys knew in their hearts that the Qin army would definitely not give up after these two losses, and they would definitely attack again.
In fact, things are really as they think about it. Ever since the Qin State had lost dozens of villages and market towns all at once, they had been furious in their hearts, and when they finally found out, it turned out that all of them had fled to the Peach Blossom Valley. The county commander was very angry and very confident, he thought that these ordinary people who were used to being ravaged on weekdays, as long as they sent a few messengers over, they would not obediently follow out. But what he didn't expect was that although these servants came out safely, they were released after being humiliated. So the county commander was angry, so he made a twist to the court, and as a result, the court sent a very capable general, but what he didn't expect was that although the general had a slight victory, he was finally killed by the people of this peach blossom valley. This county magistrate really couldn't figure out what kind of characters were in this Peach Blossom Valley, and why did they have such abilities? He thought about it like this, but he couldn't figure out what was going on in the Peach Blossom Valley anyway.
Since the local government has never figured out the strength of this Peach Blossom Valley, they have lived a peaceful life for a period of time. In this way, eight or nine months have passed, and Yan'er has grown up a lot and has begun to learn to speak. Xue'er didn't teach Yan'er according to Jiangshan's requirements, she always did things according to her own wishes. So when Yan'er saw Jiangshan, she always shouted happily: "Daddy! Daddy!"
Although Jiang Shan didn't sound very comfortable, how could he explain it in the face of such an innocent child. Since he couldn't explain something, he had to agree with the flow.
It was a day of flying snow, and after practicing martial arts for an hour, Jiang Shan took Xue'er and Yan'er to the valley for a walk. Jiang Shan thought that this Peach Blossom Valley was really a treasure land, although the cold wind was howling outside, but it was still warm as spring here, even the flying snowflakes seemed to have feelings, and they couldn't bear to wet those pink flowers, and they melted into water vapor and flew away in mid-air.
The family strolls along the crystal clear lakeside, listening to the crisp birdsong, watching the snowflakes flying in the air, and talking about happiness. "Brother Shan, do you think we are living in a fairyland?" asked Xue'er happily.
"Isn't it? You see we have two fairies here!" Jiang Shan said emotionally when he heard this.
"If we are fairies, then you should be fairies?" said Xue'er coquettishly.
"Where, I'm just a slave serving the fairy, where can I be called an immortal?" Jiang Shan said humbly.
"Daddy, I want a little fish!" Cher's words interrupted their argument.
"Oh! There are really a lot of cute goldfish swimming freely in this water! Which one do our eldest lady want? Can I catch it for you?" Jiang Shan heard Yan'er's request, and hurriedly bent down and asked.
Yan'er was lying on the grass by the lake at this time, happily looking at the small fish in the water, hearing Jiang Shan's question, and hurriedly whispered: "Shhhh
"How can that work?" Without waiting for Jiang Shan to agree, Xue'er hurriedly stopped.
"No, I'm just going to catch it myself!" Yan'er said stubbornly.
"Okay, let me hold you and catch you, okay?" Jiang Shan saw that Yan'er was about to spill, and hurriedly comforted.
"That's it, let your father hold you and catch it!" Without waiting for Yan'er to agree, Xue'er had already made up her mind.
After Yan'er's consent, Jiangshan flew over the rippling lake with Yan'er in his arms. I saw that the two of them sometimes flew by, sometimes stopped, and finally caught a small fish. Yan'er danced happily and handed it to Xue'er with a smile, and Xue'er was also very happy to watch the two of them play.
People have joys and sorrows, and they are true. Just when they were laughing, they never thought that there was a sound of swishing feather arrows breaking through the air in mid-air. Jiang Shan was very puzzled when he heard this, he really couldn't figure out who else in this valley could shoot such a powerful bow and arrow besides him. If it hadn't been done by the people of the valley, it could only have been an enemy attack. Thinking of this, Jiang Shan didn't dare to be careless anymore, hurriedly handed Yan'er over to Xue'er to take care of, and ran towards the entrance of the cave quickly.
As expected, there was an enemy attacking, and someone had already reported it before he arrived at the entrance of the cave.
"Do you know who is attacking us?" Jiang Shan asked loudly.
"Report to the master, it may be a Hunn!" replied the man very anxiously.
"Oh, it's the Huns, why do the Huns want to attack us? We don't have any grudges against the Huns!" Jiang Shan said puzzled.
"The villain doesn't know what to say about this question, so let's ask the master to come over and take a look!" the man said anxiously.
"How many troops are there and what are our casualties?" Jiang Shan looked at the man's anxious expression, and couldn't help but feel uneasy.
"The little ones are not very familiar with these situations, we only judge from the feather arrows they shot into the hole that they are Huns, and we don't know anything else!" the man said very ashamedly when he heard Jiang Shan's questioning.
"I don't blame you for this, I'll go out and investigate and find out. Hurry up and defend our cave entrance!" Jiang Shan was very ashamed to see him, so he hurriedly comforted him.
"Report sir, we've managed to defend against two of their attacks!" someone else came forward to report.
"Haven't they retreated yet?" asked Jiang Shan in confusion. "Why are they fighting against us so desperately?"
"Report to the master, they have no intention of retreating! depending on the situation, they are ready to attack with fire!"
"Attack with fire, I see how they burned us?" Jiang Shan said curiously.
"I don't think so!" argued the other strongly.
"Oh, what the hell is this for?" Jiang Shan immediately became even more curious when he heard someone raise an objection.
"I think they are preparing dry firewood, but they also know that there is a cave across the road, and it will definitely not burn us, but they probably think that our cave has an end, so they want to smoke us out of the cave and then attack us!"
Jiang Shan also felt that his analysis was reasonable, so he quietly waited for those stupid Huns to smoke himself.
As previously analyzed, the Huns started a huge fire outside the cave, and then used a huge cowhide tent to fan the smoke into the cave. After a while, the Huns stopped and shouted to the cave: "Listen, people inside, we do not have to kill you, but we will spare you if you hand over all your treasures." ”
Jiang Shan thought to himself where he had any treasure, but he was extremely strong, and he had endured such a long nest of the Huns, so he was willing to step forward to explain something? So he ordered the villagers to continue to guard the entrance of the cave, and he chose a dangerous place and rushed out.
The Huns were not stupid, and they waited for a while at the mouth of the cave but did not move, and then they considered that it might be a bottomless hole, so they assembled their whole group to the top of the mountain beam. When they reached the top of the hill, they tore off the iron heads of their arrows and replaced them with blazing fires, and shot them down the valley together.
If they only use feather arrows to shoot the villagers in the valley, it will naturally be fine, because no matter how strong the bow and arrow are shot into the valley, it is already the end of the strong crossbow and has no strength. But the fire they shot down was different, and wherever it fell, there was a sea of fire! The Peach Blossom Valley was full of trees, and where could it withstand such a burn? Jiang Shan was really a little scared this time, and he was worried that as long as the fire spread, the entire Peach Blossom Valley would turn into ashes. Anyone can burst out with infinite strength when they are in danger, of course, Jiangshan is no exception, I saw him struggling to the top of the mountain, like an arrow from the string, no one can stop it.
