Zhou Ranzhuo slept for a long time. He didn't remember how he won the battle, who carried him back, or how many days he was in coma.
In the daze, Zhou Ranzhuo felt a splitting headache. He wanted to raise his hand to hammer, but found that he had no strength and could not lift his hand at all. His throat was also burning and uncomfortable. When he woke up again, it was already...
It was early morning three days later.
Zhou Ranzhuo felt a lot more relaxed. These days, there has always been someone whispering something to him, and now she is still holding his hand. It must be Xia Jingyan...
Alas, the little girl... is really so infatuated... No!
Zhou Ranzhuo's brain was running rapidly. What he heard these days seemed to be a man's voice! And now he was holding his hand... Xia Jingyan's hand was so big!
Zhou Ranzhuo peeked with half-squinted eyes, gasped for air and almost fainted again.
"You're awake! You're finally awake! I've been guarding you for three days!" Xia Jingchen jumped up.
Zhou Ranzhuo’s heart aches! Why is it Xia Jingchen?
"General... why is it you... where is the princess?" Zhou Ranzhuo almost spat out blood. Xia Jingchen must have fallen in love with him.
"Why can't it be me? I care about you. Yan'er is out, why are you looking for her?"
"Out...out?! Hasn't she been here?!"
"I haven't been here before. My second brother took her back to pick up Xiao Ya'er and Yan Yu. There was something important in the court, but we couldn't leave it alone, so it was decided that my second brother and I would go back to the court and leave a message for Zhao Qie.
I am here to suppress the bandits, and I will leave when Yan'er and the others arrive. I heard that the bandit leader is very beautiful, so I asked Yan'er and the others to be the three girls who arrived at the family down the mountain, pretending to be brides and go up the mountain to meet Zhao Qie.
The officials should cooperate with each other to get rid of this old bandit." Xia Jingchen explained honestly.
"Such a dangerous thing! How can you let the princess go!" Zhou Ranzhuo was even more anxious than Xia Jingchen, his brother.
Maybe he didn't realize that he had unknowingly developed feelings for Xia Jingyan that he shouldn't have.
"I don't want to, but Yan'er is indeed the best kung fu woman among all the women in Dongjiang. She is many times better than those bandits. Besides, there is Zhao Qichen..." Xia Jingchen's portrait
He was a child who had been criticized, lowering his head and whispering.
"Okay, you guys have the final say." Zhou Ranzhuo waved his hand, even getting angry on other people's territory.
"I can understand Yan'er taking Xiao Ya'er, but tell me, why did she take Yan Yu with her? Revenge?" Xia Jingchen tried his best to change the topic.
For a moment, Xia Jingchen didn't realize why he, as a general, wanted to please Zhou Ranzhuo.
"I don't know!" Zhou Ranzhuo responded impatiently, turning his head away from Xia Jingchen.
"Oh, why are you in such a hurry..."
"I'm not in a hurry! Could I be in a hurry! Yan'er is just a little girl! You asked her to help you suppress bandits, why don't you let her go out to fight for you!" Zhou Ranzhuo shouted.
"Then Yan'er, she..." Xia Jingchen suddenly stopped and realized something was wrong, "That's my sister... Yan'er is my sister, why are you so anxious! Why are you so anxious! And! You just took care of Yan'er.
What’s your name?”
Good guy, now all the pigs are eating his cabbage in front of him!
Only then did Zhou Ranzhuo remember that he was a retainer! He dared to lose his temper with the general, and even bluntly denied the princess's name. He lost his head!
"No... I just want to care about the princess..."
"Really?" Xia Jingchen glared at him, "Do you have any inappropriate thoughts about Yan'er!"
"I don't have it! I don't have it!"
"My Yan'er is so beautiful and you don't have the idea to gouge out your eyeballs!"
"Is that minister... there?" Zhou Ran sweated from the top of his head.
"How dare you have any inappropriate thoughts about Yan'er! Watch me beat you to death!"
Xia Jingchen drew his sword cleanly, and Zhou Ranzhuo quickly ran around him and ran out, shouting as he ran:
"Then do you think I have it or not?"
How can you be so unreasonable? It doesn’t matter if you do!
Zhou Ranzhuo didn't dare to stop at all, and Xia Jingchen chased him desperately. The patrolmen who passed by saw him and immediately helped Xia Jingchen chase him. Everyone wanted to win the first prize in catching the "key criminal".
Seeing that the situation was not good, Zhou Ranzhuo immediately climbed up a big tree. Xia Jingchen couldn't climb trees, so he could only stand under the tree and stare. He was so angry and resentful that he didn't learn how to climb trees with Xia Jingyan.
"Come down!" Xia Jingchen shouted.
"I'm a fool to go down!" Zhou Ranzhuo responded.
"I won't hit you, but come on!" Xia Jingchen circled around the tree and hooked his hands towards Zhou Ranzhuo.
"Yes, if you don't hit me, you want to hack me to death! Only a fool goes down!" Zhou Ranzhuo made a face at Xia Jingchen.
"Come down if you can!"
"Come up if you can!"
The two of them were arguing and making noise.
"Two fools." Xia Jingxuan happened to see this scene when he came back and whispered to the side.
"Brother...Mr. Zhou, what are you doing?" Xia Jingyan's mind was filled with questions.
"us……"
"Exercise!" Zhou Ranzhuo replied quickly.
"Yes, yes, exercise! Let's compete with Mr. Zhou!" Xia Jingchen immediately agreed. What else could he say? Fight? He didn't want to actually chop Zhou Ranzhuo, just scare him.
"Then why do you have to climb a tree?" Xia Jingyan asked.
"He couldn't beat me, but he was so scared that he climbed a tree!" Xia Jingchen said out loud.
"Where do you get your confidence from?" Zhou Ranzhuo was clearly dissatisfied.
"Then come down and fight with me!"
"No! Just a little bit!"
"Hey! You..." Xia Jingchen ran to shake the tree, "It can't come down, it can't come down! I'll have someone chop down the tree in a moment!"
"If you don't go down, you cut down one tree and I'll replace it with another. If you can, you can cut down all the trees in this mountain!" Zhou Ranzhuo shouted.
"Give it to you! You thought I couldn't catch you, didn't you?" Xia Jingchen jumped up and down, but could never reach a corner of Zhou Ranzhuo's clothes.
"Okay, you two, Jingchen, let's go, let's go back to the city quickly." Xia Jingxuan said.
"Oh..." Xia Jingchen turned around and glared at Zhou Ranzhuo, then added: "Wait!" and followed Xia Jingxuan obediently.
"Zhao Qichen" Xia Jingxuan called.
"I'm here." Zhao Qiechen immediately went out to salute.
"I will leave Yan'er and Chao Ya to you. You have to take good care of them. If there are any shortcomings, I will only ask you."
"Yes!" Zhao Qiechen bowed slightly.
"Oh brother, don't worry!" Xia Jingyan hugged Xia Jingxuan and acted coquettishly, and by the way, he pulled Lu Chaoya "with bad intentions".
Lu Chaoya blushed and did not dare to say a word.
"Can I rest assured! Listen to Zhao Qichen and avoid getting into trouble! Do you hear me!" Xia Jingxuan shouted. This is the first time in his life that he has been separated from Xia Jingyan for so long. Can you not be anxious?
"And you! Every day, don't follow Yan'er around and be obedient! Do you know?" Xia Jingxuan pinched Lu Chaoya's face and said.
"Master Hou! I know, I know..." Lu Chaoya said inarticulately, but she felt pain and happiness at the same time.
"Okay, I'm leaving." Xia Jingxuan walked towards the carriage angrily, scolding the eighteenth generation of Emperor Yuan's ancestors in his heart, why are there so many things going on! We should really find an opportunity to put a sack in him and beat him up.
Xia Jingyan and Lu Chaoya high-fived to celebrate the day of "freedom", but Xia Jingxuan suddenly turned around.
"No trouble! Zhao Qichen! Watch them both!"
"Yeah!" The three of them nodded heavily.
Xia Jingxuan and Xia Jingchen finally left, watching the carriage disappear at the end of the mountain road, and finally...
"Free!" Xia Jingyan and Lu Chaoya ran around the military camp having fun, wishing they could immediately invite the drum band to play music to celebrate.
It's a pity that there is no drum band here, only Zhao Qichen.
"Princess, Miss Lu should rest early. Early tomorrow morning, I will take you two to the farm at the foot of the mountain.
"Hey, I got it, brother Qiechen!" Xia Jingyan rushed up, patted Zhao Qiechen on the shoulder, and then ran away quickly.
She has no scruples about the presence of outsiders, and she dares to call her elder brother in front of everyone.
"Princess, you can't call me that, just call me by my name..." It's not that Zhao Qichen doesn't adapt to this title, it's just that in front of outsiders, he still needs to be more polite.
Zhao Qichen blushed. He didn't know what he thought Xia Jingyan had done to him, just like Zhou Ranzhuo who had just climbed down from the tree.
"What did she just do? Why is Zhao Qichen looking like this!" Zhou Ranzhuo said while gritting his teeth at Gu Yun.
"I don't know... I've just arrived..." Gu Yun bent over, and if he was not careful, he would become Zhou Ranzhuo's punching bag!
"What do I need from you?"
Zhou Ranzhuo's face turned red with anger, and he "hit your chest with a small fist" towards Gu Yun. Gu Yun was stunned. This intensity... was Zhou Ranzhuo kidding him?
"What are you looking at! Back to camp!"
Zhou Ranzhuo turned around and left, only then did Gu Yun react and quickly follow.
